It was no wonder that the mysterious Chronos Grass was worthy of being called the treasure of Heaven and Earth. Zephyr immediately felt his mind become so much clearer after a few seconds of consuming it. He could sense a certain keenness to his soul as his perception became more accurate. Although his eyes were tightly shut, he could sense everything that was happening around him as he used his four other senses.A hum vibrated through the air, which made Zephyr feel reborn. At this moment, he seemed to be walking above the sky and breaking through all the obstacles at an alarming speed. Lightning flashed around him as everything passed in a blur. Suddenly, fear struck his heart. Although he had experienced this kind of situation before, the aura was too powerful to comprehend as it was completely beyond the reach of mortals.Once more, a hum sounded. Due to the effect of the Chronos Grass, Zephyr immediately saw the blinding light with a clearer perception. The light seemed to be m
“She’s so gorgeous!” After having gone through so many trials and tribulations, the talented fighters were overcome with lust as they witnessed the sight of a beautiful woman. Although each of them was powerful in their own right, they were still hot-blooded young men after all. Some of them dared to even walk up to her to shamelessly flirt with her.However, one of the men suddenly remembered something and his expression drastically changed. He quickly pulled them aside and said, “Are you crazy? She’s…” Everyone’s faces blanched when they heard the name. As for the woman, she left without a word after she scanned the crowd.Deep in a forest somewhere, a man slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his cold face. "It's finally over. Thanks to Zephyr I was able to successfully advance to the next level!” The man was none other than Yang who had just advanced to the Agility level. This achievement had successfully boosted his energies manifold. On another end, a group of men w
“A few names actually.” The Academy representative smiled enigmatically. Everything that happened within the Land of Despair was under his control so no one would be a better judge than him.“The Ninth Prince from my dynasty possesses great skill so I’m sure he would have gotten a lot of points. I hope it’s not too much to ask but I would be more than grateful if you were able to take him under your wings once he’s in The Boundless Academy,” said the Master of the Grand Masters.“Hmm...” A mysterious smile appeared on the man’s face. “He will be the one taking care of me should he become an Academy representative.”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Suddenly, a group of men rushed out from the Golden Devil.“They’re finally here!”“Took them long enough.”“You brat, I was so worried about you!”“Mayor!”“Master!”There was an air of happiness as the fighters flooded in. Many were reunited with their mayors or masters. The mayors and masters who were unsuccessful in search for their disc
“Next, give each scoreboard a drop of your own blood!” ordered one of The Boundless Academy’s apprentice once everyone had taken out their scoreboards. Although his voice was not loud, everyone could hear him clearly.The air was immediately filled with whooshing sounds as the participants’ scoreboards flew through the air as if being summoned by some unknown force. Blood-red writings appeared on the scoreboards after being fed with blood. The writing displayed each fighters’ name, city and number of points. The scoreboard would automatically be combined together if a fighter had more than one scoreboard. “Only five hundred points? You’re a joke!”“Wow! This guy scored eight thousand points.”“No way! How is that even possible? And here I thought two thousand was a lot.”Beams of light exploded in the sky. It could be said that it would not be easy to know who had the most points amongst glaring light. The task would surely require the utmost observation skill. However, the crowd
Soon, more points appeared but none of them were as high as the three current highest points holders. “It’ll be noontime soon. Shouldn’t we close the entrance now?” asked the Master of the Grand Masters after some consideration. No one had come out for a long time. The death of the participants were overshadowed by the surviving talented fighters’ performance as there was a high chance they would be initiated into The Boundless Academy.“Let’s wait a little longer,” replied the Academy representative. He was frowning as if deep in thoughts. ‘Wait a little longer?’ thought the Master of the Grand Masters. He was curious to know the reason but dared not ask for it.“I now proclaim that the Inter-city Tournament has officially ended,” announced the Grand Master that stood next to the entrance.The city mayors who hoped for their participants to come out from the Land of Despair blanched at the announcement.“How did it all end up like this?” asked a frustrated Bruce as he stared a
“It seems like you’re in a pickle now. You and Zephyr should leave as soon as the result of the Inter-city Tournament is announced. Staying here is dangerous for the two of you now,” advised Boxer.“Yes, that’s a wise thing to do.” Bruce let out a resigned sigh. He was happy about Zephyr’s safe arrival, but at the same time, worried about his relationship with the Ninth Price.Zephyr fed his scoreboard with some of his blood. No one had paid any attention to him. Everyone expected low points, after all, how many points could a fighter with only the Strength of level nine actually collect?“Your Highness, I am the mayor of Suzaku,” said a city mayor respectfully. Standing beside him was a young man who was one of the skilled fighters in the Ninth Prince’s group and also the person who had won the most points for the prince. The mayor’s intention was as clear as day. “You’ve done well. Rest assured the city of Suzaku will be finely rewarded for your contribution in helping me become
However, the Ninth Prince knew that he should not act rashly towards Zephyr, for the latter’s status had been elevated to an apprentice of The Boundless Academy that even a prince such as he would not be able mock. ‘D*mn you, Zephyr, just you wait. It’s true I won’t be able to do anything to you in broad daylight now, but when night falls… You’ll surely pay for this,’ thought the Ninth Price. Zephyr must have sensed the prince’s hatred when he turned around to look at him.“Huh!” scoffed Zephyr, not at all intimidated by the Ninth Prince. The nation was struck with bouts of festivities. Zephyr becoming an Academy apprentice was likened to a Magikarp evolving to a Gyrados. The whole of Starlight and the Khan Clan’s status had been elevated too!There was even a chance for the Khan Clan to become the most powerful clan in the kingdom now! It was general knowledge that not anyone could become an apprentice of The Boundless Academy.“Not bad, not bad at all,” said the Academy repres
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. A middle-aged man with an apologetic face stood outside Zephyr’s door and quickly spoke, “Master, we have used up all the pearls in the Dragonboat so we have no choice but to stop in this city for a while to replenish our stock.”Judging by his drawn-out aura, Zephyr guessed the middle-aged man was none other than Frederick Ash, who was the same official that gave him a ride from Starlight. His attitude had changed by 180 degrees as he now treated Zephyr with nothing but the utmost respect. “Which city are we in now?” asked Zephyr calmly. Frederick visibly relaxed when he realized Zephyr had no intention to chastise him. He thanked his lucky stars that Zephyr held no grudges against him. “We’re in Viridian, which is a mid-grade city in the kingdom with a lot of pearls. It should take us less than a day to replenish our stock once the mayor knows about your status.”“There’s no need to rush, Zephyr. Viridian is not
