Chapter 4682

Author: Celestial Clouds
King Basil's words stunned Justin. He hadn't expected the king to be so closely attuned to Adrian's actions.

Despite the distance of several kilometers, King Basil seemed to perceive Adrian's every move with uncanny precision.

The ministers were equally taken aback. None had anticipated that Adrian's maneuvers would cause such an uproar.

Some officials, however, scoffed at the notion of Adrian being a legitimate contender.

One sneered. "He's just a young upstart. Even if he's strong, the soldiers clearly don't respect him. Let's see what other tricks he thinks he can pull."

Their expressions brimmed with disdain, convinced that Adrian's youth rendered him incapable of true leadership. To them, he was merely an inexperienced boy, not a force to be reckoned with.

Renee, however, countered icily, "Just watch. Let's see how Mr. Adrian turns the tide. This might bring an unexpected surprise to our great Ciawales."

    Looking at the crowd before him, Adrian smiled faintly. Undoubtedly, he had finally won over the people before him.This was precisely the outcome Adrian had envisioned. Their acceptance was crucial. Without it, dissatisfaction and lingering doubts would have continued to fester.Across from him, Tyler stood motionless, his gaze averted. Despair weighed on him so heavily that, for a fleeting moment, he considered ending it all right there.Despite years of military service and countless battles, Tyler's abrupt challenge to Adrian had ended in a crushing defeat—one so absolute it bordered on humiliation.Compared to Adrian's strategic brilliance, Tyler felt like an unseasoned recruit, as if he had never even studied the art of warfare.

    The crowd's eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation. They wondered what kind of future Adrian would bring them.Could this young man lead them to victory in the face of the Primeria's ferocity? The outcome remained uncertain."Stand up," Adrian commanded, his voice resonating with authority."Follow me, and my only requirement is simple: absolute obedience. If I command you to die, you must not utter a single word of dissent."Can you do that? If not, stay behind—there's no need to leave the city with me."His words thundered in the ears of every soldier, leaving them stunned. None had expected Adrian to issue such a demand, and the bluntness of his statement shocked them deeply.To be asked to die—this was an extreme demand. And for it to come from a man barely in his twenties made it all the more unbelievable. The soldiers stared at Adrian, their expressions a mix of astonishment and unease.Adrian's demeanor, strict and unyielding, baffled them. Why was he being so s

    It was the soldiers' first encounter with someone as iron-willed as Adrian. His presence, filled with a terrifying aura and overwhelming strength, made it abundantly clear that he was no ordinary person. Any thought of opposing Adrian seemed an impossible challenge.At that moment, they were left with only two choices: surrender or submit.Their eyes reflected their helplessness. They knew there was no way to stand against Adrian, leaving them with no option but to compromise and follow him.For them, the choice was inevitable.Watching silently from the sidelines, Tyler was filled with amazement.In his eyes, Adrian's display of authority was highly effective. It helped to weed out those with wavering loyalties within the army.Those who remained would be steadfast individuals, and even if some still harbored doubts, further training would likely solidify their commitment.Among the fifty thousand elite troops, Tyler understood better than anyone the kind of soldiers they were.

    Although Tyler was brimming with questions about Adrian, he chose to follow him for the time being, sensing the potential for unexpected opportunities ahead.As Adrian led the contingent of officers and soldiers out of Ciawales, countless citizens paused to watch, their eyes wide with shock.They could hardly believe that the young Adrian was at the helm of such a large force."The rumors were true. This young man is really leading thousands of soldiers to rescue the Second Prince. Do you think he'll succeed?" whispered some among the crowd."I doubt it. Primeria's forces are ruthless. The Second Prince commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and even they were completely annihilated.""With Primeria's ambushes, it seems impossible," another added skeptically. "Even though Mr. Adrian is a powerful warrior in the Fusion Stage, rescuing the Second Prince is a fool's errand."Adrian caught wind of these murmurs but paid them no heed. He marched on, his resolve unshaken as he led

    Renee couldn't believe Justin's persistence. His scheme was transparent—if she joined the expedition, Ciawales would be left unguarded against his ambitions, giving him the perfect opportunity to seize control.But Renee had no intention of letting him succeed.With a frosty expression, she retorted, "Justin, your strength isn't lacking either. In fact, you're the most suitable person to lead the rescue mission."Her sharp gaze bore into him. "If you can live so comfortably in Ciawales, it's only because Michael stabilized the court. Without his efforts, how could you have such an easy life?"Justin sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh? Do you truly believe Michael is capable of that? If it weren't for Ciawales dispatching its army, do you think he could have held out this long?"Ultimately, he still failed and got himself captured. Michael is truly worrisome," he added, his cold laughter echoing as he walked away.Renee's fury burned as she watched him leave. Clenching

    Adrian smiled faintly. Tyler was indeed dedicated, always focused on military strategy, but such a rigid mindset wasn't always advantageous.When someone became trapped in fixed patterns of thinking, they risked losing perspective."Sir Tyler, you're not wrong," Adrian said, "but today, what I want you to do isn't about military tactics. It's about honing your abilities. From now on, you will begin intensive training—what I call hellish training."The soldiers froze, perplexed. What could this mean?Adrian was once again proving to be an enigma. They couldn't fathom what he had in mind."All officers, hear my orders!" Adrian's voice rang out, commanding attention."You will train in separate groups. I will teach you techniques and formation strategies."Look at the blazing sun above—it's the perfect time to absorb its energy and strengthen yourselves."The soldiers stood stunned.Absorb energy from the sun to grow stronger? This was a concept they had never encountered before.

    Adrian's words left the group in stunned silence.Tyler, still skeptical, remarked, "This matter was reported directly to King Basil. If someone tampered with the information, they must be incredibly audacious."At Tyler's observation, the group's expressions grew grim.Adrian's sharp gaze swept over them as he replied, "The Second Prince is already missing. Isn't that crime enough to be considered treason? If they dared that, what wouldn't they do?"The logic of Adrian's statement sent an icy wave through the group. The terrifying prospect left many uneasy.Adrian's killing intent sharpened as he turned his attention to Tyler. "Since I've pointed this out, take it as your reminder to act immediately."Cold beads of sweat broke out on Tyler's brow, and he felt a shiver down his spine. Adrian's piercing gaze carried an oppressive weight that made his chest tighten. "Yes, Sir Adrian!" Tyler responded without hesitation, immediately moving to organize the investigation.Adrian's

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.

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.

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

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

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.
