After Mya took Celia into her arms, she said, "I'll bring them to get something to eat. I'll take them back to your place after you've departed."Remy nodded and watched as Mya left with his younger siblings. He then spotted a shadow standing on Lake Solunar's drawbridge. Remy was smart and instantly figured out who that person was and why Mya pulled his siblings away from him.Walking over to the drawbridge, he asked, "You wanted to see me, sir?"Adrian turned around and gestured for Remy to come closer. As they stood side by side, he pointed at the stars and said, "Before my father died, he told me that if I looked up at the sky, I'd always be able to see him because he’d be the brightest star. Have you heard something similar before?"Remy nodded. "My mother said the same thing to me before she died. She said she'd turn into a star and watch over us.""Do you feel pressured?" Adrian asked. "I’m a bit of a mess since this is my first time playing the role of an older brother.

“She sounds like a great teacher," Adrian said. "Ms. Lucy is the person I respect most in this world. I wouldn't be here today if not for her.""Do you have a dream of your own?" Adrian asked. "I think so. The first dream I have is to become a man my siblings can be proud of, plus I want to be able to lead happy lives. The second is to rule the world and to show Ms. Lucy that I'm not a coward."Adrian smiled. "Your situation is similar to Jerome's, but you've got siblings by your side. Jerome, on the other hand, has lost even his only benefactor.""I heard about that. I've been paying attention to him since he became one of my strongest contenders in the selection," Remy answered honestly. "Who else is there aside from him?""Zack, Polaris, Sage, Juno, and about a dozen others. But in my opinion, Jerome's my biggest rival.""Do you think he's strong?"Remy nodded. "He's really strong, but he hides it well."Adrian smiled. "I'm glad to hear that you think that. Have you eve

The party soon ended, and Lake Solunar returned to its peaceful state. The candidates left on their respective planes after they were done cleaning up.***Adrian stayed in Songton over the next few days, while the candidates rested at their respective venues.A few days later, the second round of exams began throughout the six venues. Adrian was in his office early that morning when Mya suddenly barged in."Adrian, your apprentice has come all the way from Wyvern Peak to see you!""My apprentice?" Adrian was unable to recall who it was for a moment. A young man then walked in and said, "Long time no see, sir."Adrian instantly recognized the man and greeted, "Barry!"He had not thought about Barry because the latter had been working under Lucas for quite some time. Seeing his apprentice, he smiled and said, "It’s been a long time. Aren't you supposed to be with Lucas? What are you doing here?"Barry scratched his head and smiled. "I graduated from being Sir Lucas' subordinat

Shocked, Mya turned toward Adrian once more and said, "Doesn’t this mean the selection might be compromised? We’ll have to expect more surprises now…"While she was in deep thought, Adrian said, "I've been expecting this since a long time ago.""What?”Barry and Mya were stunned at Adrian's words.Mya said, "Are you serious? Since when? Why wasn't I aware of this?"Adrian honestly replied, "Nicholas Frost already called to warn me about Bashir the moment he noticed him. However, I haven't been able to come up with a counterplan against him.""Nicholas Frost?" Barry asked in confusion."Why? Do you know who that is?" Adrian became curious. "Are you referring to the guy who's been studying under the miracle doctor since he was little? I hear that he's at Bortugua or Tortuga or whatever. It's been so long since I've seen him."Mya's eyes widened. "You know Nicholas?"Barry held his hands in the air. "We grew up together, and I used to beat him up when we were little. Our surnam

Adrian continued sitting in his office. After a while, a staff member walked in and reported, "Sir, the written test is about to end, and Monarch Crystal called from Novemton. She wants you to decide where the next exam will be held."The written test served just to test the candidates' knowledge, while the battle test simulations were the main highlight.Adrian took a look at the schedule and asked, "What's the next test?""The six-way showdown, sir.” This showdown was where candidates from the six venues team up with the others from their respective venues in a six-way battle against the other venues. The main point of this test was to see how well the candidates operated as a team. The victors of this test would gain five points, the runner-up three points, and the second runner-up one point. Additionally, candidates who performed extraordinarily would be rewarded with an additional three points each.This was an important test as compared to the written test, so Adrian ponder

The man’s name was Ian Hoboken, an elder for two generations. Consequently, his words carried a lot of weight."The Dome was decommissioned because we did not have much spare cash lying around to maintain it. But it is a fact that The Dome is where we’ll be able to test our candidates' capabilities to the fullest during the selection, which is why I agree with War Legate Draco."For one, Novemton is now economically prosperous, so we have more than enough money to reopen The Dome. Secondly, times have changed, and so have our candidates. More than a thousand of them have already surpassed War Legate Draco in the written test, which proves just how capable they are."Thirdly, by placing the candidates in The Dome for the six-way showdown, we can tell how well they work with one another and determine who out of them is truly competent. Thus, I think War Legate Draco has the right idea."Ian made some solid points, but the others were still against the idea because they did not wish t
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1281
Adrian nodded in response.The candidates arrived that evening. The next morning, they all entered the main hall for the assembly. Adrian walked out with their results around nine.Looking at the candidates, he said, "I'm going to announce your results from the last exam before we discuss the six-way showdown." He began to announce their results. Unsurprisingly, Jerome and the others scored full marks. Kieran was also among those who scored full marks, so he was allowed to enter the next segment. Less than half of those who scored full marks in the first round were able to do the same for the second as the second round of questions had been difficult.All of this was within Adrian's expectations. After he was done announcing the results, he said, "You have eight days before the next test. I'm sure you're all wondering what this six-way showdown is and why it's now being held despite not being a thing before."I won’t go into details about it today. What I want you all to remember

Gale then gestured and said, "Please, sit.”When everyone was seated, he continued, "You will all have to work as a team during this next segment against the other five venues. The Dome is a complex place with all kinds of terrain, which is why you'll need to select a leader. A leader is necessary to make a team more efficient. You'll need to be in sync with each other if you wish to emerge victorious and put on a spectacular show."A few candidates stood up and agreed, "Sir Gale is right. We need a leader to lead us, and we'll listen to their every instruction.“It's our responsibility to listen to our leader's commands as a unit, but the person who leads us has to be someone capable as well."At that moment, a girl by the name of Luna Ingrid stood up and said, "I'd like to nominate Jerome as our leader. I think he's the most outstanding one among all of us, and he's capable of leading us."Jerome seemed a little surprised when he heard this, but the other candidates all stood up

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
