"Fine! You're all opposing me, so it's not up to me anymore. Sapientia is going to forfeit today. No Sapientia apprentices will be allowed to battle!" Ezekiel yelled furiously.Phineas looked contemptuously at him and turned to all the Martial Arts Court members. He said, "Everyone, I don't expect to leave this place alive today, but we cannot let the century of humiliation that Dramon suffered play out again here today. "I stand as long as my nation stands. If the nation falls, so do I! If those of you here are not willing to sacrifice your lives, you can forfeit! I won't force you to do anything!"Phineas spoke passionately, and many of the audience felt their eyes fill with tears. Over a dozen deacons of the Martial Arts Court stood up and said, "Mr. Tuxley, we are willing to follow you until we die. We have no regrets!"Phineas nodded heavily and said to the staff members outside the arena. "Everyone from the Martial Arts Court, sign up!"As Phineas finished speaking, the a
Even the audience who were sitting nearby could hear the sound of the very air splitting apart."Dodge!""Don't try to stand against it!""That's a vicious kick, Mr. Ballard! Be careful!"The Dramonian audience was all worried for Sebastian.Whitney was sitting in the stands when she suddenly turned pale and gasped, holding tightly onto Nina's hand.Beside them, Ezekiel scoffed. He was probably the only one who could dodge Jules' kick, and even then, it would have been a close call.Sebastian still hadn't moved an inch. He was probably scared witless by the power of the kick."This is what happens when young people don't know how to be humble and wary!" Ezekiel said, staring coldly at Sebastian."Mr. Harton, Sebastian is still a Dramonian! Don't you think you're being too much when you say that?" Whitney asked accusingly, her brow furrowed."Why you—" Ezekiel glared at her, but as she was a young woman, he just huffed angrily and did not speak again.If Whitney hadn't been
Sebastian smiled slightly. In the blink of an eye, he slipped under Jules and thrust his hands upward. Jules folded up and did a forward roll before crashing headfirst onto the cement floor of the arena. A loud crash echoed through the venue. His forehead had hit the ground hard, and blood splattered everywhere."Oh damn! What kind of technique is that? He's taking himself out in the arena!""Maybe that's the essence of karate.""Uh, yeah. You're right. He's so ruthless with himself that any opponent would be terrified."The Southian officials in the stands looked furious, their eyes burning with anger. Before coming, Jules had boasted to the media that he would kill Sebastian with a single kick.How many kicks had he tried? Sebastian was completely unharmed, while Jules had already lost his front teeth! Now, his forehead was bleeding!The Southian audience fell silent. This wasn't the expert they remembered."Sebastian, I'm going to chop you into a million pieces!" Jules wa
"Why are you glaring at me? Was I the one who made you fall and end up like that?" The young man glared back at Jules. Jules burned with rage as he struggled to his feet.He had taken a hard fall this time. The arena was raised and was about three feet from the ground. He had jumped up to a height of six feet. In total, he had plummeted from nearly ten feet. Not only did he scrape his face, but he had also almost fractured his pelvis. When he stood up, he had to limp. There was no way he could kick anyone now."Can you keep fighting, Mr. Laurent?" a Southian official asked in concern as he hurried up to him. They couldn't afford to let Jules be defeated or killed! He was an important figure in karate. If he died, Southia's martial arts community would be doomed.When Jules opened his mouth, all the blood and the gaps in his teeth made his words completely incomprehensible. The Southia official couldn't understand him at all despite listening intently."Jules, if you're afraid
Even the audience grew uneasy as they watched the spectacle. "Holy shit! Will he only stop when he bashes his head in?""What's going on? Is he letting his anger build up?""Why would he need to do that? He's about to crack his skull open!"Amidst the chatter, some members of the audience realized that a white liquid was trickling out of Jules' nose and ears as he continued prostrating.His cerebrospinal fluid was leaking out. It was proof that his skull really had been cracked open.By this point, Jules had already lost consciousness. However, his body kept repeating the same motion. With a final thump, he fell heavily on the arena floor.The audience let out a collective gasp. Jules was probably the first person to prostrate himself to death. And he was supposed to be the top expert in Southia!"Did… did he really die?""How could he not be dead? His brain plasma is leaking out!""He was so determined too. What a shame."The audience murmured among themselves, exchangin
Just as Dario's palm was about to touch Sebastian's hair, the latter suddenly turned. A series of afterimages trailed behind him.Dario had already started celebrating inwardly, certain he had landed a hit. However, the moment his hand came down, he realized he had struck nothing but air. By the time he registered the shadows in front of him, it was already too late. Sebastian was already behind him.With a casual push to his back, Sebastian sent him flying. Dario shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. Unfortunately, a wooden pillar stood about 20 feet in front of him. A loud crash echoed through the venue as Dario slammed into the pillar at an awkward angle. "Aargh! Damn it!"Dario had no idea what had happened. He had been flying forward headfirst, but just before the impact, he'd done a sudden forward roll.His crotch had hit the wooden pillar first.And of all the pillars surrounding the area, this was the only hexagonal one. The rest were round. Dario had crash
"What the heck?" someone in the audience shouted. "Did the foreign fighters come here to fool around?""Is he training his crotch? How can anyone endure falling like that?" another one chimed in. "He keeps landing on his crotch too.""If he doesn't have the skills for it, he shouldn't embarrass himself like that. Look at what's happened to his poor balls," an elderly man in the audience muttered, shaking his head.Dario's expression was now identical to that of Jules. He knew that he hadn't been mistaken about the force exerted on him a moment ago. It was a supernatural power. He could manipulate that force as well. He just wasn't as powerful as Sebastian."Who are you?" Dario looked at Sebastian in shock. "I'm a Dramonian. You Yutarians should apologize to Dramon for what happened 100 years ago!" Sebastian's voice grew colder. Before Dario could recover, a gigantic force crashed down on his back from the sky.Just like Jules had, Dario's forehead slammed into the ground wit
The Dramonian audience cheered for Sebastian. At that moment, a large, burly man with fair skin from Karna stood up and declared, "I would like to fight you."His name was Dmitri Loffman, a three-time kickboxing champion in Karna. As Dmitri stepped into the arena, everyone realized that he was eight feet tall. Sebastian looked like a child in front of him. His waist was only as thick as one of Dmitri's arms, and the kickboxer's thighs were so thick that they looked like steel pillars.Sebastian looked up at him and asked, "You want to challenge me?"Dmitri grinned viciously as he eyed Sebastian. "Challenge you? No, no. I can kill you with just one punch!"He waved his fist, which was the size of a bowling bowl."Punch me to death? Alright, come here." Sebastian smirked and motioned him to come closer. "Today, I'm going to show you that the martial arts of Dramon cannot withstand absolute strength!" With that, Dmitri walked toward Sebastian, each step heavy and deliberate.
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
