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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1230
Wolfsbane lost an arm in an unfortunate accident during a Wyvern Peak rescue mission four years ago. He was then forced to retire and return to his family home. Wyvern Peak awarded him with the highest honor and bereavement allowance but he decided to donate all the money. He instead made a living by working in construction and stopped intervening in Wyvern Peak’s affairs. “Faster, Curtis. We’re in a rush!” the foreman shouted from a distance. Curtis and the other workers picked up the pace. He carried a few bags of cement with one arm in one go and loaded them onto the truck. Meanwhile, Mya got out of a nearby car. As removed her shades and flipped her hair, observing Curtis loading the cement bags in silence. Curtis was a courageous, fearless man. He had known that the rescue mission four years ago was highly dangerous and that he risked losing his life. Yet, he did not cower. He had been trapped within the enemy group and was rescued by his comrades, losing his arm to an exp

Curtis smiled upon hearing this and rummaged in his pockets for a lighter to light his cigarette. Mya swiftly produced her lighter and lit it for him. He took a puff before heading toward the work site. Mya followed behind him. "The Department came looking for me a couple of times, but I rejected them every time. I don’t want to be Wyvern Peak's burden while I'm still able to work. I've already spent quite a lot of their money on my medical bills when I got injured.”"But you deserve every cent of it," Mya said. Curtis shook his head and kept walking. "My wife doesn't wish to rely on others for help either. She said she wants to feel like she's living a full life by earning everything on her own.""You're married?" Mya was surprised. "Yes, I am, and I have a three-year-old daughter."Mya smiled, still slightly surprised. "Who would've thought you’d start a family one day? Congrats. You finally found someone who wants to be with you."Curtis smiled back. "All right, enough abo

“Adrian knows he'll destroy Wyvern Peak if he doesn’t relinquish his position. Also, the next legate will surely surpass him. The new generation should surpass the old for the world to progress. In fact, he's been nurturing a few candidates he deemed worthy.""For example?" Curtis asked.Mya pondered for a while before replying, "One of them is Jerome Yahn. They say he's the reincarnation of five legates, and Adrian has been guiding him to the right path. There's another by the name of Polaris Ryan. Adrian chose him three years ago, and he's been shown promise. He also guided a third boy called Remy Johnston, and one girl, Juno Byrd. She's very competent, and I believe she has a good shot.""You're saying he's been planning for Wyvern Peak's future a long time because he knew he couldn’t continue being the legate for much longer?"Mya nodded. "I've been following him for many years, so no one else knows him better than me, including his wife. Although he doesn't say it out loud, he

It was clear that the woman was deeply devoted to Curtis from the way she looked at him. Holding his daughter in his arms, Curtis said, "Mya, this is Mary Wunder, my daughter, and my wife, Lorelei Martins. Say hello, Mary." Mary gazed at Mya for a while before smiling. "Hello, Mya. Wow, you’re so pretty.”Mya chuckled as she patted Mary's head. "Thank you, Mary. You're really pretty too." Mary then stood up and looked at her mother.Curtis gestured and said, "Lori, this is Mya. She's the woman who works by War Legate Draco's side that I always talk about."Lorelei stretched out her hand and smiled. "Hey, Mya. Curtis has told me so much about you. I even saw you on the news during the Serpent's Haven rescue mission."After they shook hands, Curtis opened up the basket and looked at the sandwich. "These look really good. Have you eaten, Mya? Would you like some?""No, thank you." Mya stared at him before continuing, "Remember to be there a day before the selection, understand?

At that moment, a phone call came from Rusouth."Sir, we've caught two outlander spies," reported a staff member in charge of the preliminary venue in Rusouth.Adrian was not surprised in the slightest when he heard this. After all, it was impossible for the outlanders to stay put in such a situation. He instructed, "Lock them up. I'll interrogate them personally when I get there." "Yes, sir.”Adrian hung up and said, "Come on, Mya. We're heading to Rusouth."Confused, Mya asked, "Why? Are you planning to oversee their written exam? Shouldn't you stay here to see the overall results?" "Two outlander spies have been caught there.”Mya then fell silent and followed Adrian to Rusouth.***Rusouth was an old city inside of Novemton, with many ruins left behind by the land’s ancestors. It was not a tier-one city, but it was famous for its heritage status. Adrian arrived at Rusouth the next day and headed straight for the administrative center. Battle Warrior Gale was in charge

Adrian gestured toward them and asked, "Who sent you here? What's your mission?"The Rondoniers stammered and retreated. Neither of them had expected this to happen when they took on this mission. They wanted to prove how loyal they were with their silence.Mya, an unpleasant woman to have as an enemy, stepped forward and said, "I have all the time in the world to play with you two, so why don't we start with your fingers? Hmm… How about your toes? I’ll let you guys decide." Alas, Rondoniers were spineless cowards. When threatened, they immediately broke down. One of them stammered, "A-Agarov… Agarov sent us.""Agarov?" Mya mumbled the name, then looked toward Adrian. Adrian knew who Agarov was. He was a man notorious for instigating trouble, the spark that set off most of the conflicts in the outlands. Agarov wandered around various places within the outlands, driving in wedges between people to stir up problems, a skill he was excellent at. "Good boy." Mya snickered. Were

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?

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.

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

"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
