Adrian said, "Wayne, you used to be a member of Internal Affairs and Roland's subordinate. You now work for the Battle Warrior Department. My intel states that it was you who verified Victor Hasting's particulars. Is this correct?"Wayne hung his head, seeming a little nervous. Adrian already knew how capable Victor was based on his performance during the last few exams. Thus, the details inside his personal file were of no value. Wayne finally replied, "Yes, sir." He did not dare lie to Adrian because it was a cold hard fact that it was he who approved Victor's registration. "In that case, I’ll question you later. For now, it's time to get to the main topic."Adrian fell silent for a moment. Nobody knew what he was thinking, but everyone, other than the ones being interrogated, was on their toes. Then, Mya walked in and handed Adrian a folder."Sir, this contains all the information Southrive's Battle Warrior Department uncovered. Everything that happened that year is inside.

Wayne took a deep breath, trembling as he replied, "V-Victor's exam results were all falsified. Reena and Wesley paid off someone in the school to change his results.""Is that so? And how are you involved?" Adrian asked. "Wesley and Reena said their son wanted to experience what being in Wyvern Peak was like and wished to participate in the selection. That's why they sought me, and I…""You approved his application for them, correct?" "Y-Yes…"Crash!Adrian grabbed a chair and hurled it at Wayne the moment he heard those words."Argh!" Wayne screamed in agony and collapsed to the floor as blood trickled down his face. Blazing with anger, Adrian boomed, "How dare you make a mockery of Wyvern Peak's rules! You have disrespected me in every way. If death is what you seek, then death I shall give you. Mya!" "Yes, sir!" Mya responded. The next moment, she was standing before Wayne.Splatter!!!Wayne's head was severed from his neck, leaving everyone at the scene stunned. "

Reena, too shocked to say another word, sat limply on the floor. Wesley was similarly too terrified to utter a word. While the crowd silently watched the scene unfold, Adrian said, "Roland Atwell, I hereby sentence you to twenty-five years in Serpentshire Prison." Roland collapsed and broke down, while Mya nodded at Adrian’s orders.Reena and Wesley held their breaths, awaiting their fates. "Victor Hasting has been found guilty of falsifying his results, and his family background doesn't comply with Wyvern Peak's standards for the selection. Hence, he is deemed an ineligible candidate.”Reena started wailing, but Adrian pressed on, "According to Wyvern Peak's rules, Victor will be sent to prison for eighteen years for faking his registration particulars. He will be barred from conducting business, receiving education, or any other benefits Novemton provides its citizens." "No!" Reena wailed upon realizing Victor would be in his forties by the time he was released from prison.

Finally, Adrian walked out from backstage and sat at a round table. Smiling, he said, "My apologies for making you wait. I was taking care of last night's fight.”The hall burst into laughter, while Adrian continued, "You're all probably curious about what happened, but I can tell you now that it's no big deal. You'll find out what happened later, so I won't say anything about it. However, I will say this one thing. I remember every single one of you sitting here, so I'm watching every move you make."The candidates laughed once more. After gesturing for them to quiet down, he said, "Let's get back to business. To be honest, I'm very happy with your exam results. More than two thousand of you have surpassed me, not once, but three times over. More than eight hundred of you scored higher marks than I did in the past by eight times." "Oh wow!" Seeing how surprised the candidates looked, Adrian smiled and said, "Why are you all wowing? Isn't this something worth celebrating?""Of
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1271
The candidates became excited upon hearing the announcement of their results. Of course, some were disappointed and hung their heads in disappointment.After twenty minutes, Adrian was finally done announcing everybody's results. The main hall was filled with chatter. He gave them half an hour to discuss while he sat and waited. After thirty minutes, he said, "All right, could you all quiet down for a while please?"Everyone immediately stopped talking and sat up straight. "First of all, I'd like to congratulate those who scored full marks on a job well done.” Adrian clapped, and everyone followed."Secondly, to those who scored slightly lower and did not get full marks in everything, keep your head held high and don't give up. You failed to bring out your A-game this time, but you're all still in the running."I hope that those of you who scored full marks this round will be able to surpass your own limits. I can't wait to see you all perform even better than what you've alrea

"Good luck with your exams three days from now." The candidates saluted Adrian, and the latter did the same. The candidates then exited the hall, getting on planes to fly back to their respective selection venues. Mya walked into the now-empty hall and said, "What was up with you back there? Even I felt my blood boiling as I heard your speech, let alone them."Adrian smiled at her. "What should we do with Kieran?" Mya asked."Is he still here?" Mya nodded. "None of them dared to leave without your order. I think you should deal with this."Logically, Kieran should be disqualified from the selection for getting into a fight with Victor. This proved that he was unable to control his emotions. But since he had a perfectly sound reason for what he did, Adrian knew he had to do something.He asked, "How do you think we should handle the matter?" Mya pursed her lips. "At the risk of taking sides, I have to point out that Kieran is a young boy who's still immature. On the other

“Ms. Mya!" Mya would often stroll around the candidates' dorms and have fun with them, earning her a good reputation.Kieran walked up to her and said, "I'm really sorry. I forgot to say goodbye to you."Mya pouted and rolled her eyes. "Fine, you cheeky boy. Anyway, where do you think you're going when your exams aren’t over yet?"Startled, it took Kieran a while before he asked, "W-Wasn’t I disqualified?""You were, but I helped you turn that around. War Legate Draco says you have a chance if you can score full marks on the next exams. If you fail, you'll be out of the selection for good.""Wh-What? I still have a chance?"Kieran was in slight disbelief, while his brother jumped in joy. Even Danny and Vera were all smiles."I asked him to give you one last chance, so hurry up. Your plane is about to depart. Get back to your venue and don't disappoint me.""I promise I won't! Thank you, Ms. Mya!”"Run along now." "Yes, ma'am!" Kieran saluted her and left with his family.

Mya nodded with a smile and grabbed Adrian's hand. When they exited headquarters, they marveled at the lively night atmosphere.Songton's Battle Warrior Department had closed off Lake Solunar so that the candidates could have fun without worries. The square was brightly lit. Several roaring campfires were outfitted with grills and beer cans piled up like a mountain. The candidates sat together, happily discussing their futures. And all of this was being recorded by the media.Adrian was surprised to see the tens of thousands of Wyvern Peak's future soldiers gathered together, amazed by how their young minds worked. "What do you think? Amazing, isn't it? I think nothing like this has happened throughout Novemton's history. Do you know what this means?" Mya asked. Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "This means our future will just be like this. These youngsters will lead us to much better lives."Mya was filled with joy when she said this. However, Adrian had his sights o

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

"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
