Just as Adrian was about to exit the bathroom, Samantha grabbed his hand and said, "I think it's best you ask Juno how she’s doing. She was injured for years, and none of us wants to see something bad happen to her."Samantha was still worried about Juno. She knew Juno would be able to handle the usual training, but she was unsure if Juno's legs would be able to handle the pressure of her exceeding her physical limits. It was well-known how hard the selection would be. "Don't worry, I've been keeping a close eye on her.""All right then. Come and wash your face." Samantha pulled Adrian over.***A car pulled into One Jewel Road at lunchtime, revealing to be a middle-aged man. The man's name was Dio, subordinate to a newly-appointed supervisor at Swallowston's Battle Warrior Department.When Dio walked in, he said, "Good afternoon, War Legate Draco." Adrian nodded. "Come in. Have a seat."Dio sat on the couch and said, "Sir, headquarters sent me to inform you that they've deci

Samantha offered, "I'll help you pack later."***After lunch, Samantha went to the room to pack Adrian's luggage. Songton was more than a thousand kilometers away and he was going to be there for a few days, so she packed more clothes.Just as she was packing, Adrian walked in and hugged her from behind. After a slight startle, Samantha nuzzled Adrian's face. "What's the matter?"He nibbled on her ear and held her tightly in his arms. "The new legate will represent our future, so I can't let it proceed unattended. Once it’s over, I'll come home and accompany you for some time."Samantha was, of course, able to read between the lines when Adrian said “some time.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and grunted, "And where will you be going after some time? Are you going to leave me at home again?"Adrian pondered for a moment. "Nicholas and I will be going to the Uduma Desert and the snowy mountains in Mount Shangspar next February to investigate the truth about Partingia and

Samantha added, "I've got Nova with me too."Adrian stroked her hair. "All right, I should head over to Songton now. I’ll probably be there by tomorrow morning.""Here you go." Samantha handed over his luggage. "I can't even imagine any other wife who’d be as kind and understanding as me. You'd better make it up to me in the future.""I'll make it up to you for the rest of my life." Adrian pinched her cheek.Samantha giggled, while Adrian grabbed his luggage. "I'm off then."Samantha nodded. "I'll ask Jojo to drive you to the airport.""Okay.”***Once again, Adrian left home, with Joanna rushing him to the airport. During the journey, Joanna said, "I can't believe you. You've only been back for less than a day and you're heading out again. When will this ever end?"Adrian glanced at her and smiled. "What's the matter? You seem different than usual.""Well, of course. I realized that being the legate is a really tough job. You're always so busy, and everywhere you go is fil

Joanna soon pulled into Swallowston Airport, where Adrian checked into his flight.Songton was a city inside of Novemton, said to be the most beautiful around. This was thanks to its spectacular natural scenery like Lake Solunar, Song Mountain, Windy Bay, and five other local attractions. Crystal had put in a lot of effort before finally deciding to hold the pep rally there. However, Songton did not have an airport, so Adrian needed to land somewhere in the Northwest before taking a train to Songton. After that, he would have to take a bus to the city center. The entire trip would take more than a day. As Adrian departed, Novemton headquarters issued an order, asking for all Battle Warrior Departments to send out their best people to escort the candidates to Songton. The candidates throughout the cities went on their way.***The pep rally would be held in seven days, providing ample time for candidates to prepare themselves. Over the next few days, the candidates representing

Somewhere, a nineteen-year-old girl held a sickle in her hand as she harvested a wheat field. Meanwhile, her parents, whose faces were full of wrinkles despite being only in their thirties, were also busy harvesting.A thick silence hung between the girl and her parents. The girl's name was Sage, and she had a little brother who was in the first year of high school. Sage was the girl with the brightest future in her village. She was always first in her class and was a lot more athletic than the boys in her year.After her high school examination, Sage's parents suggested she study marketing. However, the Southeast Military Academy, SMA, sent her a recruitment letter to offer her a place at Southeast University. This university nurtured students in hopes of them joining Wyvern Peak, and most of its graduates did get jobs there.Sage was excited to receive the recruitment letter. She never thought she would ever get into Southeast University. However, her excitement proved short-liv

Jamie gave no response. He was surprisingly calm when he heard what Garret said. All he did was glance at Sage before saying, "Fine, go." Sage knew her father had said that out of anger, and that her parents would be extremely saddened if she chose to go. Thus, she stood there with her head lowered. She had a dream. She hoped to become the person she wanted to be through her own efforts. However, her parents did not understand her intentions. She did not dare to leave without her parents' blessing. She knew that her parents had gone through a lot to raise her, and she did not want to be ungrateful to them. Yet, she did not wish to give up on her hopes even more."Jamie, what's wrong with you? Even if she doesn't get chosen to become the legate, she'll still be doing our village proud.”Garret tried to persuade Jamie when he sensed how cold the latter was being. He knew Jamie's family did not wish for their daughter to walk this path.Sage stood by the side, waiting for Garret to

Jamie snickered. "You have to joking, Mr. Garret. What's there to be proud of? I know my daughter, and she's going to be disqualified in the preliminaries. How am I supposed to feel proud about that?"Garret shook his head. "We should all feel proud of her regardless of whether she passed or not. The fact that she's brave enough to try proves that she's a cut above many people in this world. Jamie, Dahlia, the selection will be starting soon. How do you expect her to give it her all if you two don’t support her?"Dahlia sighed. "She's grown distant from us ever since she entered Southeast University. Other girls her age are already married, yet she hasn't even got a partner to speak of. Everyone in the village laughs at her.”"You two are being old-fashioned." Garret raised a finger and continued, "Why are you still living in the past? Why should girls get married so young anymore? On top of that, this is the best time for Sage to build up her career. Take a step back and think. Wou

Sage pursed her lips. She wanted to go but wasn't brave enough to leave. "Go, Sage. Have no regrets and walk whatever path you've set your mind on," Trent suddenly said. Sage turned around, her eyes tearing up as she choked, "Trent…"He nodded. "Don't worry. I'll be here to take care of Mother and Father. Participate in the selection, and promise me you'll do your best. We'll be here waiting for you."Trent gave Sage the greatest words of support he could possibly give. Sage cried and nodded. "I will. Thank you, Trent."She wiped her tears and decided not to give up on her hopes. She did not want to have any regrets in the future.After taking a deep breath, she started to walk toward Garret but then turned around. "Father, Mother, I'm sorry, but this has been my dream. I don't want to live my life without having done anything. I'm sorry for being such an ungrateful daughter."Sage turned around and forced herself not to cry, while Dahlia wiped her own tears in sadness. "Sag

The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" 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? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4813
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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4807
"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
