Zephyr studied the kid, and realized why Boxer was so proud. Yang was no slouch. Yang looked quite elegant, and he had slow and soft movements. His features were effeminate too. Were it not for his Adam’s apple, many could have mistaken him for a girl. His long hair reached his waist, some even draped over his white robes. His eyes were full of fire and confidence, yet his features remained elegant and reserved. He was a strange beauty that caught many eyes. Yet he stood there unmoving, unspeaking, like a corpse. It was quite disconcerting.‘This guy’s so strange!’ Zephyr thought. “Go on then! Greet him!” Boxer laughed. “Mister Bruce!” Yang called out. His voice was fragile and soft, yet was clear and concise. ‘Boxer and Yang are so different… how the pair got to be is rather odd,’ Zephyr thought. As Zephyr thought to himself, he felt someone stare right through him, this sent him into an alerted state, and he quickly raised his head to meet the gaze.As he raised his head, he notice
“Hmph, the Tournament hasn’t even started yet, and here you are fighting amongst yourselves! How embarrassing!” one of the Grand Masters said as he eyed Boxer and the Claymore mayor. With just a glare, the two of them started forming beads of sweat on their brows. They dared not make a peep. “The Boundless Academy’s fighters are about to arrive. If you wish to continue squabbling like children, do not blame me for when my hand is forced!” the Master commanded.Suddenly, a loud screeching noise echoed throughout the arena. It was like a great talon had descended upon the arena, tearing apart the empty space. Suddenly, two middle-aged men descended slowly from the sky. One of them looked to be quite common, yet the energy he exuded was telling of otherwise. The other however, was dressed in rich clothing, with many fancy accessories. They had torn the air around them asunder, and somehow solidifying it under their feet.“These are Agiles of level five, only they could possess such powe
“I guess that’s the last we’ll be seeing them!” The Academy representative said while he nodded.“The rest who’ve stayed, good job!“When one walks the path of martial arts, apart from potential and skill, one requires a strong, unwavering heart. Only through fearless risks, shall one receive bountiful rewards. “To be honest, even if this Land of Despair is extremely dangerous, the Academy and the Dynasty would send out our best of the best to protect you. If you ever need it, just call and we will help. However, this will also mean you will be disqualified!” he stated.Once he finished his sentence, those that forfeited earlier quickly changed their tunes. The look of regret on their faces were evident. Had they known they were protected, they would not have forfeited so willingly. The Inter-city Tournament was only held every fifteen years, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for every fighter, much less the chance to be enrolled into the Boundless Academy. Their regret was
“Celadon!” Bruce said quietly. “Celadon? Do you have beef with them? Do you need my help?” Boxer said, chuckling quietly. Celadon was a strong city, but Lake Taiho did not lag far behind. Boxer would not be so gracious with them if he had to get down on it too. “No need, we’re about to begin. We don’t need to care about them!” Bruce said calmly as the Celadon men approached. The man that approached them so hurriedly carried an air of defiance. He had a slender build, and had attractive features. His eyes were sharp and they carried an intense look. He looked to be in his twenties, but the energy he emitted was telling of his power. The middle-aged man next to him, glared at Zephyr and Bruce with a fake smile. “I am Samson Leed, the prodigal son of the Leeds of Celadon. The older brother to Noah! Zephyr Khan, I’ve been looking for you! How dare you cripple my brother!” he scolded.Samson looked to be not much older than Noah, yet it was obvious his battle prowess far surpassed his brot
With a loud boom, Zephyr’s Might had resisted the Golden Devil. In the next moment, Zephyr felt his body float within an endless void, his eyes saw nothing but darkness. It ended as soon as it started, and when Zephyr came to, he realized his surroundings had changed drastically. It was barren, quiet, bloody, and most of all, full of despair. In front of him was but a thick jungle, yet it gave off an aura that made him feel uneasy.A sense of dream and despair overcame Zephyr, and it smothered him dearly. He felt cold, as if his veins were made of ice. A roar came from within, Zephyr had used his Might to halt these dreadful feelings. ‘So, this is the Land of Despair, huh?’ Zephyr thought as he observed his surroundings, confirming its namesake. This place was dreadful and depressing. The air was still, as if there was no air to begin with. It was dark and damp too.Suddenly, a scream came from afar, followed by a hollow ring. ‘Someone’s in trouble!’ Zephyr thought. They had just beg
Zephyr guessed that many fighters were making their moves lurking in the shadows. Battling the beasts was but a small inconvenience, the true danger lies in the backstabbing competitors. Right as Zephyr was about to continue recovering, a loud boom was heard. A great wave of energy came crashing upon someone, sending them flying thirty feet away. Every tree caught in the attack was immediately shattered and destroyed. The attack only stopped once it reached the tree where Zephyr was perched atop. Despite that, the tree still took a hit, and shaked violently from the impact, it was enough to make Zephyr stumble out from it. He wondered what person had made that attack.Suddenly, two loud crashes came, followed by the appearance of two people. Seeing the man on the floor, one of them nervously called out, “Yosef! Are you alright?” It was a girl with nice features, about seventeen or eighteen of age. She was beautiful. The man replied only after he let out a series of haggard coughs. “I’
“Heh heh heh, you girls are all the same, always saying ‘no’ when what you want to say is ‘yes’!” The fat man laughed at her actions. “Sienna you b*tch!” Yosef cried angrily. “Let’s go, beautiful!” The fat one ignored the man on the floor and continued. “B*tch! You two have no shame! I won’t forget this!” Yosef cried, absolutely livid. He finally realized that Sienna had been using him all along. She was a woman with personal plans, not the innocent girl she portrayed herself to be. She viewed men as tools to be used.“Hahaha, no matter how defiant you are, it’s useless! You’re useless!” the fat man laughed. He had not noticed how close Yosef had approached them. “Die *ssholes!” He was but 30 or so feet away when he made his move, brandishing something from his sleeve. “No!” The two of them cried out, as Yosef pulled out hundreds of silver needles, each tipped with poison, launching them at his aggressors.“Die!” the fat man yelled, he channeled all his energy and blasted it forth, s
“This Serpent is powerful. Too bad he was too lax about it. There’s nothing more I could do once he was poisoned,” Bruno said with a sigh, though his tone told otherwise. Not far from them, a young man lay on the ground, his body had turned black from the venom. “Please don’t blame yourself Bruno. This wasn’t your fault! If it weren’t for you, we’d never have gotten the chance to kill this beast!” the four of them cheered. “Thank you for your kindness, once I get into the Boundless Academy, I will repay you! I’ll never forget you!” Bruno said to the four. “Thank you, Bruno!” the four of them said respectfully. Zephyr shook his head at this lot.It was obvious this lot was a coalition of sorts. They had given their points to Bruno in exchange for protection and future benefits. All they had to do was kill monsters to raise their stakes. They knew they were never going to get into the academies, they were but Strengths of level eight. They thought that by helping Bruno, they would rec
Zephyr had a strong soul and had reached the peak of the Magic Realm, which was enough to communicate with the Ten Thousand Thunder Pearl and communicate with Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor!Moreover!Not only did Zephyr practice the Ancient Draconic Way, but he was also the successor chosen by his old friend, the Celestial Martial Emperor!This....This was beyond Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor's expectations!Surprise!It was a huge surprise!Pausing for a moment!The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor spoke once more, "Right! Due to a special reason, you can just accept my inheritance and there is no need to acknowledge me as your Master! It's fine so long as you're willing to promise me that you won't pass down the inheritance to an outsider!"......Similarly!Not only was the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor pleasantly surprised, but Zephyr himself was also pleasantly surprised after hearing his words.Good heavens!After all, the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor was a genuine Creatio
"After millions of years, this strand of will of mine is growing weaker and weaker, and could vanish at any moment!""But it just so happens that among the younger generation of the Thunder Dragon Clan, there are quite a few with extraordinary talent and formidable strength, even though they have the Amethyst Spiritual Liquid to temper their bones! However, their soul realms are still a little lacking, and they're utterly unable to enter the Ten Thousand Lightning Pearl and communicate with my thoughts! Thus, there's naturally no way for them to obtain my inherited supreme technique!"'If I keep waiting like this, it'll be hard to say when the juniors of the Thunder Dragon Clan will be qualified to enter the inner world of the Ten Thousand Lightning Pearl!'"I'm truly unwilling to accept this, and I'm very afraid as well. They're unable to obtain my lifetime's inheritance before this strand of soul remnant will vanishes completely, and my Thunder Dragon Clan can’t rise once more in
When his strength was strong enough to be fearless of everything!After a moment of silence!Zephyr cupped his fists at the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, "Junior Zephyr thanks Senior Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor for lending me this treasure!"The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor nodded slightly, and replied with a hint of majesty in his voice, "Well, you don't have to thank me! Brother Celestial Martial Emperor once did me a favor, and since you are his successor, I naturally have to take care of you!""If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you tried so hard to get this Ten Thunder Thunder Pearl must be because of the Ancient Draconic Way, right?""After all, although this peerless divine art is extraordinarily powerful, the difficulty of breaking through in cultivation can be said to be at the pinnacle of the world!""Without enough treasures and energy, it's almost impossible to improve one's cultivation!""Coincidentally, this Ten Thousand Thunder Pearl of mine comes from beyond th
As for the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, he stood there with a calm expression and looked at Zephyr motionlessly.It seemed that the calm before the storm was about to erupt.The Curse Devil King was even more nervous. He shouted crazily in Zephyr's heart, asking Zephyr to run away as soon as possible.However...Zephyr stood there fearlessly with a calm expression, staring at the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor.Such a scene!It lasted for half a minute!Suddenly!The incomparably serious Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor suddenly raised his head and burst into hearty laughter.Closely behind!The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor looked at Zephyr and nodded repeatedly in praise. He praised him in an extremely amazed tone, "Good boy! Good boy! You are indeed worthy of being the successor chosen by the Celestial Martial Emperor. You are indeed courageous and smart!""Kid, to tell you the truth, from the moment you entered the Ten Thousand Lightning Palace, I felt a particularly familiar
Zephyr was shocked. Being watched by such an Emperor at the Creation Realm at such a close distance was really not an easy thing.If it were any other warrior with weak essences, he would probably be scared out of his wits and would not be able to resist the soul-level pressure at all.However...Zephyr has a strong spirit energy, and his state of mind was as firm as a rock.Under the gaze of Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, Zephyr didn't even bat an eyelid. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the emperor's eyes. In a voice that was neither servile nor overbearing, he said, "I really can't imagine anyone else in the entire Thunder Dragon Clan who can compare to you, Senior. You're absolutely peerless and matchless...."Pausing for a moment!Zephyr quickly changed the topic and bowed respectfully again. "Senior Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, it's my first time here, and I don't have any hostility. Please don't blame me for accidentally offending you!"Hearing that!The Ten T
Hearing what the Curse Devil King said, Zephyr sighed helplessly in his heart.There was nothing he could do!There was nothing he could do now!If Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor wanted to attack him and wouldn't give up so easily, then he could only fight with all his might.However...Judging from the intense collision of spirit energy between them earlier, it would appear that the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor had no intention of killing Zephyr.Thinking of this!Zephyr was much more relaxed, but he still did not dare to be careless. He could only raise his head and carefully size up the magnificent Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him.At this moment...The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His face was upright and his long hair was tied behind his back. His bearing was extraordinary. He possessed a mighty aura even without being angry. His eyes were purple in color and gave off a deep ancient feeling...Not simple!
Zephyr was clearly only at the first level of the Will Realm, and his soul force was merely at the ninth level of the Magic Realm. Yet, he was able to fight head-on against an ancient emperor like the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor.Even if the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor was merely a remnant soul and his spirit energy wasn't as strong as it was at its peak, it was enough to prove how monstrous Zephyr was!"Swoosh!"Just as their spirit energy reached its climax and was about to destroy the entire Void...Suddenly!With the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, the soul pressure around Zephyr disappeared in an instant!Closely behind!Wisps of dazzling purple light energy, carrying the Will of the thunder law, quickly shuttled through the void.They looked like lightning dragons that were constantly repairing the shattered space just now.And the whole process was also very fast!In less than half a minute.The cracks in the void caused by the collision between Zeph
Om!As soon as Zephyr finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming at him like a huge dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.The powerful oppressive might contained within that oppressive might caused one's hair to stand on end and soul to tremble.At this moment!The entire void around Zephyr was quickly boiling like boiling water. A powerful pressure enveloped Zephyr one after another, as if the whole world was targeting and ostracizing him.No one had expected this!The purple-robed figure in front of Zephyr did not turn around or say anything. He used his spirit energy to attack Zephyr directly."Hiss...""What a frightening spiritual pressure fluctuation!""This... this is absolutely not just the Magic Realm, it's the Creation Realm!""Even if I run the Chaotic Immortal Scripture and fully activate my spirit energy, or even use all kinds of Increase means, I'm afraid I can't compare with this soul pressure fluctuation at all!"Sensing this fr
A group of Thunder Dragon Clan experts relied on their powerful techniques to gradually restore the surrounding space to its normal state.The surrounding shattered void returned to its original state!"It's done!""Next, let's go back and heal our wounds!""Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"After the group of experts from the Thunder Dragon Clan recovered their shattered space, they didn't delay for long before they flickered and left, and they merged into the surrounding thunderstorms and clouds before vanishing completely...At this moment!Other than strands of violent lightning force, the void around the Ten Thousand Lightning Bead was eerily calm.Everything was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened."Boom!"Whoosh!Suddenly!Just after the experts of the Thunder Dragon Clan disappeared.After an unknown period of time, layer after layer of lightning storm clouds suddenly converged upon the Ten Thousand Lightning Bead, breaking the silence of the surroundings.Vaguel
