“That’s enough for you!” Shaun shouted, his body suddenly started shining. In an instant, he was in front of Zephyr. ‘What speed!’ Zephyr thought. He was getting serious. As Shaun came at him, he brought a punch along with him, one filled with rolling energy, its mass was akin to a small hill. Zephyr’s long hair went flying back, his body had adapted itself to take on this blow, his muscles contracted and solidified.“Elder, Zephyr could never defend against this attack, it’s much too strong!” an Academy apprentice spoke. The Elder sighed, he had hoped for more out of Zephyr, though it would seem that the boy was at his limit. Though, he did admire Zephyr’s ability to fend off against an Agile of level five.“Die!” Shaun said, his eyes bore daggers. He was going to kill Zephyr right then and there, there was no doubt about that. However, as Shaun’s fist landed on Zephyr’s body, the Khan gave a small chuckle. The rune on his forehead glowed with blue sparks, before exploding in a burs
Shaun was absolutely livid. He had no more reason to hold back, he unleashed the full scales of his power. An Agile of level five was a terrible foe to have! Facing Shaun’s full-on attack, Zephyr had no chance of defending himself. He was about to be turned into a sandbag and be abused by Shaun.As the blows came and went, Zephyr could only cough up mouthful after mouthful of blood. His body was stricken in such an unimaginable pain that he wondered if his bones were being turned into powder. A loud crack was heard as Shaun’s right fist landed right atop Zephyr’s head, forcing him into the ground. The great power that followed even made a large ditch erupt out of it. “Hmph!” Shaun huffed as he slowly approached the ditch. He had a cold expression. That strike was enough to cripple Zephyr. Shaun planned to finish him, right then, right thereZephyr continued to spit out mouthfuls of blood. Shaun’s attack was too powerful, and it severely damaged his insides. ‘So, this is the power of
“What’s he up to?” Shaun wondered endlessly. He could feel a different sense of energy that was emanating from the boy. ‘No, I need to nip this in the bud!’ he thought, his uneasiness brewed on and on as time went by. Although he knew that no matter what, Zephyr Khan would not defeat him, he knew that he should not let the boy continue like this!In the air, Zephyr floated. He slowly rose as he breathed, reaching heights of 300 feet. He was a bloody mess, yet he carried a calm smile on his face. ‘He’s still smiling?!’ the fighters below thought, absolutely gobsmacked. ‘How can he still smile at such a time like this?’ Boxer thought, his expression wild.Zephyr closed his arms together, the electricity around him following suit, closing in on him. Suddenly, a great crack of thunder burst in the sky. It sounded as though a herd of horses were galloping by, their steps were thunderous and foreboding. ‘What’s happening?’ Everyone had similar thoughts at the sight of such an extensive sho
’I need to get away!’ Shaun thought, making a decision. He quickly fled, with a face full of terror. His speed was as swift as the wind when he glided back towards the ground. He could feel the ostentatious power of the spear. Alas, Shaun was too late to escape!“How about you taste this!” Zephyr screamed, as the Spear shot out like a stream of lighting, and spiraled towards Shaun Lee. Zephyr knew that Shaun Lee could have killed him earlier if he was weaker. Which was why Zephyr was not taking any chances with him. Even if Shaun was a loyal officer of the court, Zephyr would not show any mercy to him. If they were to battle, he would take it to the end!The Lightning Spear shot through the sky like a bolt of lightning towards Shaun, constantly screeching and pulsating with electricity. Its lightning-fast speed was too much for Shaun, and he knew it would soon find its target. “No!!” Shaun cried, feeling the weapons approach. “No! Run away!” the Elder screamed out suddenly. Alas, it
“That b*stard!” the Elder huffed, before vanishing from the boat. ‘Am I really going to be struck down by this c*r?’ Zephyr thought as he felt Aiden approach him. “Away with you!” an angry voice appeared, echoing throughout the palace. A large wave of energy waved over and forced itself upon Aiden’s body. The Academy Elder had appeared and streams of energy emanated from him. He was very furious. “Sir, I…” Aiden frantically spoke after the Elder appeared. It was clear that he was afraid.Suddenly, Aiden was sent flying with mouthfuls of blood, along with a fear-stricken face. “Hmph, how dare you harm my apprentice!” the Elder demanded, he stared Shaun Lee down with a piercing look. If looks could kill, Shaun Lee would have been six feet underground right now. “Thank you, Elder!” Zephyr gasped a word of appreciation. Were it not for the Elder, Aiden would have no trouble killing him.“You’re an Academy apprentice, it is as expected. Please, allow me to take over. Let’s all know what g
The great battle quickly ended when the Academy people arrived. Even Aiden Lee could not bark back at the Academy. Regardless of them being the royals or the Grand Masters, they would all have yielded to the Academy. However, what truly affected the royals was Zephyr himself. His Lightning Spear had destroyed the palace grounds. Not only that, his presence had exposed Aidens shameful display and crippled one of their Grand Masters in this battle. The Ahi had suffered a heavy toll. The royals could only view Zephyr through angry, gritted teeth. However, at the same time, they were equally afraid of the powers he contained, Zephyr Khan truly was prodigal.However, Zephyr did not care for what the royals thought. He had already returned to Starlight with Bruce, who had finally caught up to the destination. After using his Lightning Spear, Zephyr had entered a state of drowsy confusion. It had taken a lot out of him, his energies, and even his spirit. It was especially so because Zephyr h
“My newfound Lightning Spear is clearly the work of my Might and my rune’s unification!” Zephyr concluded, he was sure of this hypothesis. This divine weapon had never appeared to him before, only through the combined effort of his Might and the rune had it appeared in his spirit realm. Besides, it was the only explanation for the amazing power. ‘Who knew that training under The Way of the Dragon would bring me such a gift? I wonder what new boons would I be able to unlock if I continued to improve my power?’ Zephyr thought. ‘If that’s true, then I’ve just barely scratched the surface of the potential of the Way! How exciting!’ Zephyr continued on. To this day, the potential of the Way of the Dragon was still unfamiliar to him. ‘Although my current battle power isn’t lacking, I would be hard-pressed when I face future Agiles. The only reason I won out against Shaun Lee was because of my newfound Lightning Spear! I doubt I would have the same outcome had I faced an Agile of level six, e
“Heh, this kid,” Zephyr said, then he laughed. Leah had found someone that loved her dearly. He was relieved. He had viewed Leah as his own younger sister. He was glad there was someone else that protected her. “Has anything happened to the Khan while I was away?” Zephyr asked. “Master, you’d find that our clan is now one of the greats in the Ahi Dynasty! After your powerful display at the palace, and your objective results from the Inter-city Tournament, many people or groups of power have come to form relations with us! Some were even from bigger cities as well…” Lewis said excitedly. He reported the current Khan status to the minute detail.The Khan have grown way beyond Zephyr’s expectations in these two months. This clan was now considered a great clan. Upon hearing the Khan’s stability, Zephyr felt more relieved. In his previous life, Zephyr was unable to take care of his clan. However, now, he vowed to do all he could to ensure the Khan’s future. “How’s our Khan Riders doing?”
