Sebastian frowned slightly. He saw an elegant but haughty-looking woman come in through the front door, pushing a wheelchair."We're closed," Sebastian said impassively.However, the young woman looked imperiously at him and asked, "Are you Sebastian Ballard?"He looked up at her. He didn't know her, but she clearly knew who he was."Yes. Is there anything I can help you with?" Sebastian asked, trying his best to be polite. The other party had brought so many people despite the late hour. They obviously weren't ordinary people."I came here to seek treatment from you," the young woman said arrogantly. "Treatment? Sebastian was even more confused. "Who told you to come here?" he asked.The young woman frowned, and she said disapprovingly, "If I tell you to treat someone, then just do it! Stop wasting time talking! Treat my father!" "Is this how you act when you're trying to ask for someone's help?" Sebastian was annoyed. "Is there a problem? I give you money, and you treat
Instead of getting angry, Janet laughed at what Sebastian said. "Do you know what you're saying? Hey, brat, do you know what the Connollys do in Sunway?"Let me tell you. The Connollys are one of the most elite martial arts families in Sunway! We own 12 martial academies! You want me to kneel? You should see if you're even worthy of that!"This is my last warning. Treat my father at once, otherwise, I'll destroy this shop and make you a cripple!"Janet had been spoiled since she was a child. She didn't respect anyone, nor did she fear anyone. Sebastian chuckled and said, "My answer remains the same. I'm not treating him! If you want me to treat him, then you must kneel and apologize!""You brat! You want to do things the hard way? How dare you offend me? I'll make you regret this!" She said angrily. Waving her hand, she said coldly, "Take this store apart!""Yes, ma'am!" The black-suited bodyguards immediately sprang into action and began smashing everything inside the store.S
"W-What did you say? You want me to kneel and apologize? Are you crazy, brat? Do you know who I am?" Janet yelled angrily. "I'm the heiress of the Sunway Connollys!"The Connollys are an elite martial arts family in Sunway! We have 12 Black Tiger Martial Academies all over the state!"My father is Mike Connolly, the owner of the Black Tiger Martial Academy! How dare you make me kneel to apologize? The entire Black Tiger Martial Academy would never forgive you!" That was what gave Janet confidence.However, Sebastian didn't care. He looked coldly at her and said, "The Black Tiger Martial Academy? So what? That kind of thing doesn't work on me. Either you kneel and apologize, or I'll maim both your hands!"Janet was furious. She shouted, "You would never dare!""Why not?" Sebastian said coldly. He walked toward Janet, and she was so afraid that she kept retreating.With a snap, he broke one of her hands as she looked on fearfully."Aargh!" Janet screamed in pain. She fell to the
"That brat did it! Get him!" Janet said angrily as she pointed at Sebastian. There was a ferocious light in her eyes.She wished they could tear Sebastian apart at once!The man turned and looked menacingly at Sebastian. He said in a low, angry voice, "How dare you touch Ms. Janet of the Connollys? You brat, you must be tired of living! Come on! Break both his legs and make him kneel!""Yes, sir!" Several men in uniform went up quickly and aimed kicks at Sebastian's kneecaps, using intense energy. They kicked Sebastian with great force, and a series of bangs resounded in the store.However, unexpectedly, Sebastian's kneecaps didn't shatter. Instead, the two who had kicked him were overwhelmed by a huge force that folded both their legs forcibly at a 90-degree angle. The break was so severe that white bone was visible, and blood spurted out of the wounds."Aargh!" The two men from the martial academy clutched at their broken legs as they fell to the floor, wailing relentlessly
Janet looked at the man next to her and asked anxiously, "What should we do, Mr. Lloyd?" Oscar Lloyd's expression darkened. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Janet! I'm here!"Oscar took two steps forward and removed his shirt, revealing strong muscles. He exuded a strong sense of power as he said coldly, "Okay, I underestimated you. I didn't think you'd be this powerful!"I'll personally fight against you, and we'll see how strong you are!" Oscar took a deep breath and stepped into a fighting stance.A terrifying energy enveloped him. Even the ground beneath his feet was stirred up into eddies of intense energy. Sebastian frowned. A physique refiner?He hadn't expected Oscar to be a physique refiner.Physique refining was a very severe, difficult path. It was a hundred times more difficult than the path of an ordinary warrior or even a Sage. People like Oscar relied solely on their own strength and didn't use any external help. "Take that!" Oscar roared. He
Janet shuddered in fear as she watched Sebastian walking toward her with an icy expression.She had assumed that Sebastian was just a self-proclaimed doctor. But it appeared she was wrong. Sebastian was also a very accomplished warrior!"W-What are you trying to do? I'm telling you! I'm the heiress of the Sunway Connollys!" Janet shrieked rather weakly. Her eyes were filled with terror. Without warning, Sebastian slapped her. He hit Janet so hard that she stumbled to the floor, blood dripping from her mouth. Janet turned and howled at him in anger. "You dare—"Sebastian slapped her again.This time, Janet burst into tears from sheer fright.Her father, who was in a wheelchair, spoke up in anger. "Hey, young man. You injured my daughter and so many of our people from Steinberg Black Tiger Academy. You even killed Oscar. Isn't that enough?"Mike Connolly had stayed silent the entire time since he was severely ill. However, he immediately flared up when he saw Sebastian hittin
"You've even lost half your martial arts training," Sebastian said. Upon hearing his words, Mike indicated for Janet to turn. He stared at Sebastian and cried out, "How did you know?"He hadn't expected Sebastian to be able to tell how bad his condition was with just one look.Sebastian said impassively, "I'm not going to tell you how I know. Besides, if I'm guessing correctly, it was Charles Leyton who told you to come, wasn't it?"Mike was startled. He had told Janet to bring him there because Charles had recommended it.He had seen more than 100 renowned doctors since getting injured, but no one was able to cure him. After hearing that a miracle doctor had cured Reginald, he visited Charles, who had told him about Sebastian.That was why he had instructed Janet to bring him to Steinberg. It was a pity that Janet's wilfulness had caused such trouble."Go home. I'm not going to treat your injuries," Sebastian said coldly. He continued, "Unless your daughter pays for everythi
Sebastian immediately called her and asked, "What is it?"Penelope hemmed and hawed for a while before saying, "I would like you to attend a gathering with me.""A gathering? What kind of gathering?" Sebastian asked in confusion.Penelope said awkwardly, "Just a gathering with a few friends… Forget it if you're busy, Mr. Ballard."She was ready to hang up.Sebastian thought it over for a moment. Since he didn't have anything else on, he said, "Alright. Send me the address."He had appointed her as the general manager, so he should show some concern for her, right? "Really? Thanks, Mr. Ballard! Let's meet at the entrance to the office at 6:00 pm. I'll drive you over to the place," Penelope said excitedly.Sebastian chuckled. "Alright."After hanging up, he sat down in the front hall and began studying the Sky Devouring Bottle once more.…At around 6:00 pm, Sebastian took a cab to the office. He had just reached the entrance when he spotted Penelope.She was wearing a red dr
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
"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
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
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
"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
As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, an old man in a robe stood up. He was among the audience seats for Dramon, and he asked, "Sebastian, what right do you have to speak for the martial arts community of Dramon?"The old man was Ezekiel Harton from Mount Sapientia. He had been waiting to watch the show and see if Sebastian would make a fool of himself.However, Sebastian had offended hundreds of international experts instead. Things would get messy now.Although the Sapientia apprentices nearby had all rushed to the scene, there were less than 20 of them altogether. Even if they were made of steel, they wouldn't be able to battle against hundreds of international experts.Sebastian's death was unimportant, but he was now dragging all of them down as well!"Oh? Since when did I say that I'm representing the martial arts community? Do we need to mention that when fighting against a couple of ornaments? Are there no good men in Dramon?" Sebastian glanced at the audience.Over a
In the arena, Jules narrowed his eyes at Sebastian and gritted his teeth. When he got the opportunity later, he had to kill Sebastian!Emil had been a good friend of his for many years, and he had died at Sebastian's hand just a few days ago. Jules had to avenge him."Sebastian, as long as you're willing to go to your knees and apologize, we can persuade Mr. Laurent to forgive you," an official from Southia said to Sebastian, blocking his path.Sebastian glanced at him and said impassively, "Get lost!"The official from Southia hadn't expected Sebastian to insult him. If Sebastian went into the arena today, he would be sure to die. How could he be so conceited at this point?"How dare you insult me?" the official from Southia asked in halting Dramonian. "Well, only humans are worth insulting, and I haven't insulted any," Sebastian answered calmly.The audience roared with laughter."Good on you, Mr. Ballard!""Mr. Ballard is right! These bastards aren't even fit to be called
Blake's subordinates could deal with ordinary Warriors without a problem, but fighting against international experts would be suicide. After a while, Sebastian's phone rang. When he saw that it was Blake, he answered. "Mr. Ballard, I don't think my subordinates are up to it. They can't deal with a situation like that at all," Blake said truthfully."Don't worry, they can just do anything they can think of. I have a way to make them win every battle," Sebastian said, smiling.Lyanna didn't even have to do anything. If they used the Indigo Thunder God tactic, they would be able to freeze the opponents so that they couldn't move. Everything would be solved."Mr. Ballard, I'll send a few more people over then. Do you think that a team of ten would be enough?" Blake asked."Yes. Any number would be fine," Sebastian said, smiling."Alright. I'll send a team of ten. That should be enough."Sebastian assented and hung up.…Early the next morning, the city of Steinberg was abuzz wi
"Lyanna did that for you. Do you understand what she means now?" Nina chortled.Zane looked embarrassed. How could a frail-looking young woman like Lyanna be so powerful? She had managed to release a bolt of energy from his angle without even making a single sound. Even he had thought that he was the one who had done it. "Oh my… I… That seems impossible!" Zane was flabbergasted."Everything is possible. Just go into the arena tomorrow. You might become famous overnight," Lyanna said, smiling.Zane patted his chest, his heart thumping madly with excitement. "You want to use him to get rid of those international experts?" Sebastian frowned slightly.He had understood Lyanna's intention at once. If Sebastian or Nina and the others were the ones who attacked, they would be sure to attract the attention of the international experts.Zane was a nobody, and anyone who had any kind of training could tell that he was a total rookie. Who wouldn't want to defeat a few rookies in the aren
