Chapter 1157

Author: Celestial Clouds
It was not just Samantha who was eager to see the new legate of Wyvern Peak being chosen, but all of Novemton. Everyone wanted to know who was going to become the next legate.

***

News of the selection spread far and wide, including to various academies. Three days later, a group of linguistics-major students were gossiping inside Azure Creek University's lecture hall.

"Hey guys, have you heard that the selection for the new legate will be held on the sixth of October, and they're going to finalize it this year?"

"Yes, I also heard that there's been commotion near the borders. Wyvern Peak urgently needs a new legate to lead them."

"I wonder who the next legate is going to be?"

The students were discussing the matter inside their lecture hall, where Juno was sitting. She listened to every word that was being said.

As Juno took a deep breath, a few female students walked over.

"Juno, I hear that a few academies like ours are eligible to participate in the selection. Are you goi

    All the students replied in unison. Lohawk nodded. "Excellent. That means your network is more extensive than mine. On that note, I’d like to congratulate all the women. This is something worth celebrating, after all."All of the girls in the lecture hall were in high spirits, eager to hear why Lohawk was congratulating them."Half a year ago, War Legate Draco abolished a few of the selection rules. From this year onwards, female students will be allowed to participate in the selection so long as they're capable. Isn't this good news?""Yay!" All the female students cheered when they heard Lohawk's announcement, their laughter echoing throughout the entire lecture hall. Elize said, "Did I hear that right, Felicia? War Legate Draco abolished the rule that only men are allowed to participate in the selection. This means that women now have a chance to become the legate of Wyvern Peak!""This is exhilarating!"“War Legate Draco has created a place where men and women are treate

    The noise from the lecture hall echoed through the hallways.Lohawk gestured for everyone to quiet down before she continued, "All right, everyone. After today, classes will be suspended as you will all be busy preparing for the selection. Now, the principal would like to say a few words, so please head to the gym in an orderly fashion.""Yes, ma'am!" Everyone lined up before heading to the gigantic gym. There were swarms of people inside, each team consisting of Azure Creek Military Academy students from various majors. Their ages ranged from nineteen to twenty-four. Some of them were even eighteen-year-old girls. In the future, many of them would be participating in the selection and one of them may become the next legate. Juno and the others arrived and saw Wyvern Peak soldiers in their battle suits guarding the gym. Meanwhile, Jeremy Faust, the principal of the academy, walked into the gym with a group of people in tow.The thousands of students stood to attention, silently

    "Yes, surpass him." Jeremy nodded. "The selection will officially begin on the sixth of October. One of you might become the next legate and lead Wyvern Peak, an honorable task indeed. I've been the principal of this university for decades, and my objective is to nurture talented people for Wyvern Peak. You're those talented people of Wyvern Peak, of Novemton. You're the daggers and brave generals for Wyvern Peak and Novemton, so tell me. What is your objective in becoming the legate? Shout out your answers! Chant our motto!""Defend Novemton and its lands for as long as we live and never betray them!" the students shouted."Well said!" Jeremy complimented as the students held their breaths as their blood boiled. Jeremy continued, "You're all born to achieve great things. You're not humans, but gods. You will strike fear in our enemy's hearts. Make them tremble when they see you. Remember, you're all extraordinary people. You're Novemton and Wyvern Peak's bravest soldiers!"He pau

    The students broke into their respective training teams after Max gave his speech, while their instructors arrived at the training halls. Juno and her teammates were gathered around Kaiden, their instructor.Kaiden used to be one of the battle warriors of Wyvern Peak. He never had many big goals in life. He simply wanted to nurture talents for Wyvern Peak before retiring. This was his one and only wish before retirement."Sir!""Sir!" Hundreds of students stood in the training hall, filled with reluctance as they watched Kaiden walk toward them. They had been with him for more than a year and had received their fair share of reprimands and beatings from him. However, they all knew that he had done all those things for their own good. In truth, he had always taken care of them."Fall in!" Kaiden ordered, and everyone instantly lined up.Juno and the other girls stood in line, quietly looking at Kaiden. He had both hands behind his back. Surprisingly, he did not seem as fierce as

    Kaiden nodded. "I did. He performed quite well during those years. In fact, he was even better than you. But that’s not a big problem. I'm sure you'll surpass him as long as you don't give up."He reached out and pinned a medal on Juno's shirt."Juno, out of everyone, you're the only one I think has a chance of becoming the next legate. Hence, I'm giving you this medal and a codename to represent my sincerest blessing."Juno looked down and saw the word inscribed on her medal. She mumbled, "Eclipsea?"Kaiden said, "Once you leave this place, you shall no longer be Juno Byrd, but Eclipsea. I hope that you will create a legacy for yourself that will go down in history for generations. I hope you'll become an outstanding legate like War Legate Draco himself.”"Thank you, sir. I love the name very much. I’ll be sure to call and let you know if I become the new legate," Juno replied. "Fall back in line, Juno. Now, Jesse, Eve, Frank. Step forward.”The few mentioned stepped forward a

    Kaiden dismissed his students after he was done making arrangements. He wanted to give them a little more time to prepare themselves.Juno and her team returned to their dormitories, where Elize, Felicia, Penny, and the others had also returned. At that moment, they were discussing whether to participate in the selection. Seeing Juno walk into the dorm, Elize quickly asked, "Juno, are you going to sign up? I'm undecided whether I should join myself. I know I won’t be selected, and I may even be eliminated in the first round. But I think I’ll regret it a little if I don't try."A number of them shared the same thought. After all, the selection was going to be extremely difficult for its candidates. Only the one who could endure all hardships would become the new legate. Despite this role being a lifelong dream for many, only a handful had the competency to become one.Juno replied, "I'm going to sign up. I promised my brother I’d become the next legate.” "Wow!" "That's a huge d

    Mya smiled. "The selection is coming up soon. We should head back and make preparations. What do you think, Gloria?"Gloria nodded with a smile. "Yes, we should. Let's go home since there's nothing wrong with me anymore. We’ve troubled them to take care of us for so long that I'm starting to feel a little guilty.”"You did no such thing." Lacey continued, "It was no trouble at all. Neither are we trying to chase you out, but the matter in Novemton seems to be very pressing.""What do you think?" Gloria asked. Adrian wanted to stay there for another week until all of the mutated cells inside Gloria were gone, but the selection was at hand. This was the most important event in his life and the last thing he would be involved in as a war legate. Hence, he needed to give it his all.He asked, "Lacey, are you sure Gloria’s cells won't mutate again? What are the chances of that happening?"Lacey understood Adrian’s concerns. "Don't worry, the remnants aren't functional. Also, the medi

    Adrian and Nicholas sat inside a cafe, talking about Gostia and Partingia. Adrian held Nicholas in very high regard and had nothing but good compliments for him. Nicholas did not have high aspirations in life. He only hoped to do what he could to resolve problems and make the world safer.Naturally, these problems were related to Gostia and Partingia. If the outlands learned of these countries’ histories and located what was lost there, the world would surely face a world-ending catastrophe.Nicholas said, "I'll be entering Mount Shangspar again in spring next year when it is warmest. Please let me know by February if you'd like to go. I'll wait for you until then and depart in early March."February was a warm season for Mount Shangspar which was a mountain of snow. There would be fewer avalanches during that time, making it the best time to visit. Nicholas wanted to learn the history of Gostia and Partingia, something that he had been confident in since the beginning.Adrian thou

Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so?

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
