Adrian had long abandoned the first elder and third elder’s concern.He said, “This assessment will be quite different from the previous ones. I do not plan on holding the final spar in the sparring arena. I have a new idea.”The crowd looked at Adrian in puzzlement. “A survival challenge. To give everyone a chance, all the candidates will be released into the rainforest and they will have to make their way within a certain time to score points. If they fail to make it out within the set time, they won’t be given any points. We shall then choose ten finalists to spar on the cliff of Mount Wyvern. The champion will be the new leader of Wyvern Peak.”“Hmm…”The elders and the rest of the crowd were astonished upon hearing Adrian’s plan. There was a primeval rainforest surrounding Mount Wyvern. After crossing the rainforest, one would arrive at the border where Wyvern Peak’s troops were stationed. The rainforest was extremely dangerous, filled with difficult terrains and wild animal

Adrian always came up with ideas that were different from others. That was how he became a leader respected by many. Every member of Wyvern Peak knew that there was no problem that could not be solved as long as Draco was around. ***Adrian arrived at the rear hall. It was a locked grand hall known as the War Legate Hall. This was where stone statues of previous war legates were stored. Wyvern Peak would produce a statue of the legates throughout history and display them in order so that people could come and gaze upon them in the future.Commonfolk would find it hard to get into War Legate Hall. It would only be opened to certain people at a particular time. Only Adrian was allowed to access the hall at will. He walked in and shut the door. Numerous stone statues stood inside the enormous grand hall. These statues had different postures and styles, but they were all without a doubt Wyvern Peak’s legates. The only difference was that they were from different times. Due to the c

Adrian did not show, simply observing them from afar. Raquel knew he was feeling uneasy. He wanted to choose a perfect leader for Wyvern Peak but that was impossible. Hence, he changed some people, or rather he guided some people to the right path through his hard work and effort.Time passed, and a few days later, Novemton published the name lists for the competition regions and notified all candidates of their respective regions. When the notification letters were distributed, the candidates packed in preparation to head to the venues. As the date of the examination drew closer, Wyvern Peak requested that all candidates arrive at their respective venues two weeks in advance. This was to allow them time to mentally prepare for the assessment and familiarize themselves with the venue. The candidates headed off to their competition regions. Juno was all packed. She said to her family while waving the notification letter, “Guys, I’ve been assigned to Rusouth. I’ll head there now

The woman was Sierra Lane, Jerome’s high schoolmate. She had graduated two years earlier than Jerome and attended university in Gorgonshire. Jerome had always been a loner and did not have many friends back from high school. He never expected his high schoolmate to show up here on the eve of his departure.“Am I not welcomed, Jerome?” Sierra asked smilingly as she looked at the astounded Jerome. Jerome was not good at interacting with people, especially women. He was at a loss for words upon hearing her remark. Sierra covered her mouth and laughed at Jerome’s reaction. She clapped and called out, “Come on out, everyone!”Dozens of people suddenly emerged from all directions. Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!Confetti flew into the air and landed on Jerome’s head. “We wish you success in your endeavors, Jerome!” the crowd said in unison. Jerome was stunned by the sight of these people that had shown up out of nowhere. These were his high schoolmates, and he knew every one of them.“Guys
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1226
Jerome’s friends called out in unison, their voices loud enough to be heard far away. He turned around and discreetly wiped away his tears. He said, “Thank you for supporting me, everyone. Thank you so much. I was under the assumption that you hated me and felt that I’m overestimating myself by joining the selection.”His friends burst out in laughter. Sierra giggled as she covered her mouth. “Nonsense, Jerome. Only a warrior has the courage to pursue their dream. You’re a man who pursues his dream and has strong beliefs. Why would we mock you for that?”“She’s right, Jerome. You’re Jerome today, but maybe you’ll be Wyvern Peak’s new leader in the future. We’d want to be in your good graces when that happens, so why would we mock you?”“You’re overthinking it, Jerome. We’re extremely proud to have a selection candidate among us. You have to work hard and strive to become Wyvern Peak’s leader.”Jerome inhaled a deep breath and nodded heavily. “Thanks for your support, everyone.
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1227
Sierra’s promise filled Jerome with boundless joy. He sincerely hoped for the girl that had always been on his mind to watch his performance. Jerome inhaled a deep breath and raised his head to look toward the others. “Thank you, everyone. I understand what you’ve shared with me today. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down if I become Wyvern Peak’s leader. I will devote my life to Navia and will never betray the country.”He picked up the outfit his friends had bought him and got into the Department’s vehicle.Jerome left. Sierra and the others gazed after his car until he was far away. They only turned away after the car vanished. Sierra was relieved.One of the girls said, “That blockhead finally got the message, Sierra. I didn’t realize that he had feelings for you but was too scared to tell you.”Sierra sniggered. “He’s not a very proactive person. He’s destined to be unable to express his feelings like other boys because of his family background. I hope that he will fulfill hi

The siblings fell silent, feeling a sense of desolation and unwillingness to part. Soon, Sage was done packing. She walked out of her room with luggage in hand and Trent trailing behind her. She went to her parents’ room and knocked on the door. “Father, Mother, I’m leaving for Northbound for the selection.”No reply came from inside the room where the couple were hugging each other and crying. Sage waited for a while, then said when there was no response, “I’m sorry to always worry you. I’m not an obedient daughter and I’ve let you down, but I really hope to be a useful person so that I don’t waste my youth. I’ll regret it if I don’t go. Again, I’m sorry for being disobedient. Mother, please take good care of Father. Goodbye.”Sage turned around and walked out of the house, crying uncontrollably. Garret’s vehicle was already waiting outside the yard. Suddenly, Dahlia ran outside. “Sage! Wait!”Sage stopped walking, turned around, and called out, “Mother!”Dahlia wiped her tear

Her daughter’s departure saddened Dahlia. She realized that this was Sage’s destiny, and she hoped that Sage would fulfill her dream. Jamie walked out of the room and asked, “Has she left?”Dahlia nodded. “Yeah.”“Are the invitations still here?Sage had previously given them invitation letters to watch the selection.Dahlia looked at Jamie in puzzlement. “Do you want to go?”Jamie said determinedly, “Let’s pack up and bring all that we have to Northbound. It’s the only thing we can do for her.”Dahlia was pleasantly surprised and nodded. “Sure, I’ll get to packing right away!”***Many hopeful candidates headed to their assigned competition regions. The six selected cities—Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound—were under full lockdown. All those entering and leaving had to go through strict inspections.The whole country was watching the selection closely, wondering who the new leader would be. The candidates were eager, and so were the people

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?"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

"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
