I entered the academy and saw a large crowd gathered near the main hall. I thought "Why the hell is there so many people? Looks like they are here to see a fight who knows?Let me ask Pavan he should be right here."I went to look for Pavan and saw him standing there with a young lady.Pavan saw me and waved his hand " Hey Danial here come here"I nodded and went to the corner of the main hall and greeted Pavan " Hey Pavan how's your health I hope you're not having troubles from Adren" Pavan smiled and said " No Danial Adren has been quiet this whole week and even at the academy he's been avoiding talking to me and doesn't participate in any combat training in the hall. His leg and wrist injuries have been healed significantly and he's much more restrained than usual. "I felt bad for his brother, in the end, they are brothers after all, and they share the same blood but his brother showed hatred towards Pavan and he inflicted harm on Pavan his brother and he broke the family ties hi
I couldn't bear to see the student getting tortured and unknowingly surging killing intent rose in my body.The surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees. The killing intent kept surging out of my body and spread throughout the hall. Everybody started staring at me and took a few steps back.Pavan looked at me and saw a monster ready to be unleashed. The sounds of the whipping were getting louder and louder.Just then the doors of the hall blasted open, the commotion caught everyone's attention and even the Bowan stared at the entrance of the hall.A man in white clothes with a crown badge on his shoulder with 2 students followed in the hall. I noticed the auras of the student and found out they were already at Peak mid-level Mortal cultivation.The aura of the white man was heavy and majestic. Besides me, Pavan shivered and said with a sacred voice " T-thats the Master of the Sun Lion academy Master Ronald"I frowned and the killing intent in my body finally calmed down. Bo
Maria exited the academy and waited beside the road. Right then Master Ronald and his personal disciples walked to the academy.Master Ronald glanced at Maya indifferently and entered the academy. Maya didn't care about Master Ronald noticing her and waited.After a while, a Rolls Royce suddenly came up and stopped in front of Maya.Maya silently entered the car and the Rolls Royce sped away.The Rolls Royce stopped in front of a mansion in the capital city. The mansion was heavily guarded by martial artists. If Danial was present he would be shocked to the core, the martial artists guarded the places where all Advanced peak Master cultivation! There where even several Martial arts Masters hidden protecting the mansion from the dark!Maya entered the mansion and went into the courtyard where many exotic and precious plants were all over the courtyard.A man in a robe was sitting in the middle of the courtyard casually sipping tea. Maria stopped in front of the man and bowed.The robed
After the incident at the academy, I was walking home when it suddenly clicked, the assassin! I forgot about her and she followed me that day.I immediately called Don Albert and said to pick me up. Albert came in his Ferrari 488 GTB to pick me up and it attracted almost everybody's attention. I sighed and sat in his car hastily and he drove away.While in his car I said to Albert "Can you be a little low-key and not bring this car next time?"Albert said, "But Master I think this car suits you."I replied " Tell me Albert for how long did you have this car "Albert replied after thinking "It's been about 3 years since I got it at an international convention."I said, "The Ferrari 488 GTD is a rare car and you must have been using it daily for your needs am I right?"Albert nodded.I continued " Since you drive this car every day then people would immediately know that this is your car. So would one of my friends react if they saw me climb into don Albert's car?"Albert thought about
Name: Danial Crowford Cultivation: Peak Third Stage Mortal Cultivation Main Cultivation Path: Normal Body Cultivation: None Bloodline: None Abilities: The Void Devouring arts (Basic Proficiency), Dragon Abomination first stage (Dragon Roar), Light Flowing technique (Basic Proficiency), Earth Spirit Palm (Basic Proficiency), and Energy manipulation arts(Not learned) Storage: None Pets: None. I looked at the System panel while I was waiting for James to come here to Albert's den. I thought to myself "So many skills, I guess the daily tasks did come in handy and there are some skills that I didn't even look at. Energy manipulation arts? Might as well learn it while waiting for James, I said in a low voice, Learn Energy manipulation arts. Suddenly, I felt a large amount of information enter my mind, it felt painful but just for a moment. The Energy Manipulation art is amazing, it manipulates similar energies and also gives us the ability to share and take energy from dif
Suddenly I asked Albert "I know that you are the king of the Underworld but is there someone that you wouldn't fight against or you would think twice before making a move against him?."Albert was stunned when I asked him this question, he seemed upset and didn't want to answer the question.Seeing Albert's reaction I quickly said "If you don't want to answer I won't force you "Albert shook his head and said "It's not like that, it's just complicated "I asked, "what do you mean ?"Albert starts explaining" First things first we don't anger a Master level Cultivator and Above. Those people are scary they are powerful enough to make entire countries fight for them if a Master Cultivator emerged from seclusion. Now above Master Cultivator is a Martial arts Master, they are considered to be one of the most powerful people in the world their speed defies physics and they can manipulate the laws of physics which makes them even scarier.Now there is only one person who can defeat a marti
While I was walking Dorothy home, suddenly about 20 people with knives and chains appeared about 10 meters in front of me. I stopped and looked at them with a gloomy face and said "What do you want ?" The leader of the pack said menacingly "Why do you care You gonna die soon." Dorothy behind me yelled as I frowned, 20 people to kill only two that doesn't seem natural so I asked the leader " Tell me who sent you ?" The leader seemed surprised and said, "Wow you quick to catch aren't ya let me tell you, something boy, you will never know ." The whole pack started moving towards me and I took my stance as this was the most serious situation I have been in my life. Also, I had to protect Dorothy and fight them off so I had to be prepared. When I was about to attack my phone suddenly vibrated so I took it out and saw 20 missed calls from my mom! I panicked. Having to face my mother's rage was worse than having to face 20 people. The leader looked at my panicked face and laughed "Hahaha
I dropped Dorothy off and started going to my home. I sensed that several martial Artists were following me and the highest cultivation within them was a beginner Master level cultivation started going in a circle. The Martial artist following me didn't stop following me and kept going after me in circles I frowned and thought" If I go home they will find the location of my house " So I abruptly stopped and looked at the shadows and said " Show yourself I know that all of you are following me so we better settle this here and now " Suddenly the five people that were hiding came out of the shadows and formed a circle around me. All of the energy started circulating as I was prepared for anything. As my energy started surging people waved his hand and said calmly " Slow down kid we are not here to harm you ." My energy calmed down but I still didn't relax and kept my eyes on all of them. The person who waved his hand said " My name is Marshal Barns and we are from the Somerland LawE
Pavan stood tall, the steam curling from his body growing denser with each breath. The arena crackled with tension as silence swept through the crowd. His clothes, torn and burnt at the edges, clung to his frame. His skin shimmered faintly, redder than before, and glowing orange fissures branched along his arms and shoulders like dormant lightning, pulsing with restrained might.But the change wasn’t just physical.His movements had sharpened.His aura was heavier.And his eyes—burning a molten gold—locked onto Zain like a predator.In the stands, Danial leaned forward, eyes narrowing. “What happened to him?”Crystal, just as confused, shook her head. “I... I don’t know. But it’s like his strength and speed just multiplied all of a sudden.”Danial’s brows furrowed. “Do you think he’s awakened some kind of hidden power?”“I can’t tell. But this isn’t elemental... it feels different.”Back in the arena, Pavan moved.He vanished in a blur of heat shimmer, reappearing before Zain with a r
Zain did not waste time and immediately rushed towards Pavan with a slashing whip.She leapt forward like a predator, her movements swift and ferocious, the whip in her hand arcing through the air with a venomous hiss. The sound alone was enough to make several spectators flinch.Pavan stepped back and avoided the whip attack and saw the mark on the ground—a testament to the power and durability of the whip.The stone tiles of the arena cracked under the force, the lash leaving behind a long, blackened scar. Dust floated into the air as Pavan widened his eyes."If that whip hits me," he thought grimly, "it will cut me open like butter."Zain followed the attack, twisting her body and lashing out again.She spun like a dancer, her every step precise. The whip cracked once more, slicing through the air like lightning. It came toward Pavan again—fast and merciless.Pavan raised his sword and blocked the whip attack; however, a black mark appeared on the sword, showing the power that the
Danial and Crystal returned to the arena, their footsteps brisk as they hurried toward the edge of the spectator stands. The air was buzzing with anticipation, and as they settled in, a clear voice rang out across the arena."Next round—Pavan from Somerland versus Zain from Somerland!"Danial and Crystal exchanged glances. Without a word, they moved closer, their attention sharpening as they peered down at the battlefield.Emerging from the preparation area, Zain strode onto the stage with an air of absolute confidence. In her hand, she carried a black whip, its length coiling and uncoiling like a living serpent. With a casual flick of her wrist, she lashed it through the air, the sharp crack echoing through the silent arena.Danial furrowed his brows at the sight. "A whip? Is that even considered a proper weapon?"Crystal, arms crossed, responded without looking at him. "It is—if she belongs to the Devil’s Associates faction."Danial turned to her, puzzled. "What do you mean?"Crysta
Egbert stood up while clenching his blade, his entire body trembling. His eyes, wide with disbelief, locked onto Danial as his voice cracked with confusion."How can this be? How could this ever be possible?" he muttered, his face twisted in shock. He staggered back, gripping his sword so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "How could your basic technique be so powerful? How could your technique overpower my divine Crimson Reaper Arts? That is not possible. You must have cheated!"Egbert could not accept reality. His technique was not just some ordinary martial skill; it was crafted by Norman Ray, a war deity of immense power and wisdom. The Crimson Reaper Arts were revered as one of the strongest sword techniques, refined through generations, yet Danial’s seemingly simple Sword Drawing Technique had shattered it, breaking through his proudest ability as if it were nothing. It defied all logic. It was unacceptable.Egbert's voice echoed through the now-silent hall, but no one came
The battle hall was filled with murmurs and hushed voices as Danial and Egbert stepped onto the duel arena. The place still carried traces of previous battles, the floor marked with faint scars from past clashes, including Danial’s fight with Sara. But today, the tension in the air was different—more electric, more charged.Egbert’s arrogance was on full display as he sneered, his voice laced with mockery. “Kid, I’m taking pity on you for what’s about to happen. Maybe if you kneel and crawl, I’ll let you live.”Danial met his gaze calmly and replied, “No.”The single word was enough to darken Egbert’s face. His jaw clenched as his pride took a hit. “Danial, I’m giving you a way out. Once in the duel arena, I won’t let you off even if you kneel and beg for mercy.”Danial tilted his head slightly, unfazed. “Are we going to fight or not?”Egbert’s eyes twitched in annoyance before he shrugged as if he had already won. “Alright, I hope you remember what I said.”Both climbed onto the duel
Danial sat in the audience, watching the ongoing matches with mild interest. At first, he paid attention, analyzing the techniques used by different fighters, but after a while, he grew bored. The matches were too predictable, lacking the intensity of the battles he had been in. He tapped his fingers on the armrest, wondering when his final match would come.Crystal, who had been sitting beside him, noticed his bored expression. She smirked and leaned closer. “Danial, let’s go walk around the academy.”Danial glanced at her and considered it for a moment. Sitting here and watching these mundane fights wasn’t going to help him. He nodded. “Alright, might as well.”As they stood up and left the arena, they remained unaware of the shadow lurking in the distance, silently watching their every move.The academy grounds had transformed into a lively hub. Stalls lined the pathways, selling everything from cultivation manuals to exotic snacks. There were booths set up for visitors and student
Crystal descended into the rocky arena, her icy-blue eyes scanning the terrain. The environment was filled with jagged hills, uneven terrain, and rocky outcroppings—an arena that would test movement and adaptability. Danial leaned against the railing, watching her with a small smile, fully confident in her victory.Just as the match was about to begin, Leonard approached from behind, patting Danial’s shoulder with a smug grin."Danial, did you see my match just now? The tricks I used had him completely baffled—haha!"Danial turned to look at him, blinking. "That was your match?"Leonard’s face fell. The excitement in his eyes flickered. "Yeah… you didn’t see it?"Danial quickly realized his mistake and tried to salvage the situation. "Leonard, I didn’t know your match was happening. I’m sorry."Leonard forced a smile, waving it off. "Alright, no worries." He turned and walked away, but as he did, the forced smile gradually faded.Danial sighed, feeling a little guilty, but his attenti
As the tournament progressed, the excitement in the air reached its peak. The crowd roared in anticipation as each match brought forth new surprises, showcasing the sheer talent and determination of the academy's young warriors. Danial sat with Crystal, both observing the ongoing battles with quiet interest.Crystal turned to him and asked, "You already won two matches. This guarantees your spot in the Final Stage tomorrow. Who do you think your final opponent will be?"Danial shrugged, his expression calm. "I don't know," he replied simply.Just as he finished speaking, movement from the side caught his attention. Pavan had returned from the infirmary, his head and shoulders wrapped in fresh bandages. His steps were steady, but the slight wince as he moved revealed that his injuries hadn’t fully healed.Danial immediately got up and walked over to him, his brows furrowed in concern. "Why are you out of the infirmary? Your body needs rest."Pavan groaned, waving his hand dismissively.
Tyler staggered slightly as he stepped down from the arena, his legs trembling, his face pale. The match had been brief—too brief—but the experience had left a lasting impression on him. No, it wasn’t just the match itself; it was the gaze. That chilling, soul-crushing gaze that had locked onto him as if stripping away every ounce of his being. It was unlike anything he had ever faced before.His master approached, his eyes filled with concern as he placed a firm hand on Tyler’s shoulder. “Are you okay?”Tyler did not answer immediately. He walked in silence, each step feeling heavier than the last. His master was about to repeat the question when Tyler finally spoke, his voice hollow.“I want to withdraw from the tournament.”The words were so unexpected that his master was momentarily stunned. Tyler was not one to give up easily. He had trained relentlessly, fought fiercely, and had dreams of proving himself. Yet now, standing before him, was not the same student who had entered thi
