Time passed on slowly and before long, three months had passed. Within the three months, Zephyr took on many duties to get more points. Besides that he even continued to train his Thunderfoot at the Supreme Peak. He did his best to breakthrough to Agility. Zephyr could feel his body had long reached its limit. He had surpassed equal-leveled fighters long ago. Because of this, breaking through was not easy.‘Based on my estimates, I should be close to breaking through. I did not expect my Might to be so powerful, yet so restrictive!’ Zephyr thought. The Way of the Dragon was a strange, ancient thing. Until now, Zephyr still had yet to wrap his head around it fully. ‘I just need a little more time to make Agile!’ he thought. ‘I wonder how powerful I’ll be once I break through!’ he continued. Zephyr felt once he broke through to Agility, he could easily take on people like Chad Skylark. He would not be satisfied until he made an Agile!As Zephyr continued to ponder about his future, the
Zephyr let out a deep sigh before once again beginning to down another drink. This shocked Tristan, though the pain from having watched his expensive drink be gulped down by Zephyr was worse. Suddenly, the apprentices all looked at Zephyr and Tristan with solemn faces of pity. Then, a group of men slowly entered the hall, in front of the group was Maxim and Dewey. Beside Maxim, was Vert, who upon seeing Zephyr and Tristan, could not help but cringe. Maxim, on the other hand, gave a cold smile.Seeing that Zephyr and Tristan were still unaware of Maxim’s arrival, Dewey let out a few coughs to hint at them. His hint led Zephyr and Tristan to stiffen up. Suddenly, a loud belch came from Zephyr, one that he could not control. In an instant, everyone around turned their eyes towards him. Maxim’s expression changed quickly, from a cold, stiff demeanor to one of anger. “Hmph!” Maxim huffed, before continuing on, choosing not to acknowledge Zephyr. Yang could only stare at Zephyr with a weird
This voice sounded wicked and foreboding, much like a demon’s. Although the origin of the voice was not seen, it was enough to send shivers down everyone's spine. A cold wave of energy came and it immediately covered the hall. All the apprentices instantly went pale and started to shiver. They were all frozen in place.“Cline!” Maxim stated. Though his expression did not change, his eyes were full of annoyance. A blast of energy followed Maxim’s statement, rolling out of him. Their energies clashed as it exploded within the hall. It felt like a storm was passing through. Zephyr was slightly shaken from the powerful clash of energies. Their energies alone were enough to shake the hall.Following Maxim’s counterattack, the cold freeze that overtook everyone started to disappear. However, upon Zephyr’s further inspection, he noticed that Maxim was paler, his energies were even slightly shaken. Zephyr could only frown and contemplate what had happened. The apprentices’ spirits started to
Of course, the primordial energies of Supreme Peak were much better than Spiritime Peak’s. As Zephyr and the group arrived at Spiritime, many apprentices carried a look of awe on their faces. They never thought they would ever set foot here. However, Murray and his cohort were familiar with the apprentices here, and they happily greeted them.“Master, brother Albert is interloping in the trials between our peaks. Are we to proceed as planned?” one of the Horizon apprentices asked Ethan quietly. “Hmph, so what if brother Albert is helping the Supreme? All we need to do is humiliate Maxim, that’s all I want! That’s why, we must give it our all this time!” Ethan replied. “Master, can I cripple that b*stard Zephyr Khan?” a cold voice came. His features were striking, though his eyes were cold, much like a viper’s gaze. They all glared at the Supreme apprentice dressed in black.It was Ricky Shafer, who only had eyes for Zephyr Khan. “Who knew Maxim would keep a b*stard like him!” Ricky c
“As you wish!” Amber replied sternly, her tone contradicted her gracious features. As she spoke, she quickly sped to the arena. “Heh heh heh, brother Maxim, how blind could you be? How could you send this little girl to battle with my boy? Do you wish to see her bones get broken?” Ethan said, teasingly. Maxim did not reply, he only stared at Ethan coldly. Brother Albert waited for the two combatants to enter the arena before waving his sleeve. Then, a dome of light washed over the arena. This dome of light served as a protective barrier, preventing any unwanted misfires to exit the arena and potentially damaging the surroundings.“I trust you are all familiar with the rules, though I must remind you, these are sparring matches; there is strictly no killing allowed. Once things get out of hand, we will intervene!” reminded brother Albert. “Begin!”The strong man stretched his neck and popped his joints before giving a sly smile. “I suggest you give up while you still can, I doubt yo
“Stop!” Brother Albert cried out angrily, waving his sleeve to send forth a wave of energy. His action sent a blast to the arena. When the arena cleared, Amber lay in his arms. He had saved her. “Master, I’m sorry, I surrender!” Amber said, her face was pale from the immense pain she felt. Regardless, she chose to apologize to Maxim anyway. Dewey quickly rushed over to tend to her wounds. No longer did he have his happy-go-lucky smile on his face. He was grim. “Murray! Send her to the medics now!” Maxim said coldly, this time his voice was icier than ever.“Tsk tsk, that wasn’t too harsh at all! Brother Maxim, when will you express yourself more often? I’ve never seen you in any other light apart from being stoic or broody! Is your face made out of stone?” Ethan teased him once more. “You’ve gone too far, Cline! We were already informed that there will be no killing allowed! How dare you allow your apprentice to continue on like this!” Brother Albert scolded angrily. It was just a spa
Yang was much like Maxim, though Maxim’s indifference was more neutral, Yang’s expressions were usually cold and very silent. “Brother… no!” Brother Albert frantically tried to dissuade Yang from going. Yang was still a rookie in The Boundless Academy, even with his ancient blood, his power could not grow more than it would naturally allow. In an instant, Yang had entered the arena. “Hahaha… you sure are a bold one. My apprentice is still under the influence of the Dance, I must also warn you that he has had some mastery over the technique as well. Once he goes all-out, I’m sure even an Agile of level three could be instantly killed. I doubt you would…” Suddenly, a loud scream erupted, interrupting Ethan.The entire arena was shaking. All eyes were on Yang now. Streams of dark energy wrapped around his body and coiled around like snakes, it was as though each stream had a life of its own. Before the strong man could do anything, Yang had shot all his streams into him. Yang then swiftl
The Chimera roared, it looked life-like, as though it was really there and it rushed at Yang with such vigor. Thousands of dirty-yellow energy balls the size of fists manifested quickly, before charging over to him. “Chimera Armor! How dare you use Chimera Armor? Cline, you’ve gone too far!” Brother Albert called out angrily. Maxim did not say anything, though the energy around him felt hot and raging. Great runes started to manifest and surround him, almost as if they were about to boil over. His expressionless gaze looked over to Ethan, letting his gaze pierce him.“Heh heh heh… Brother Maxim, Brother Albert, humor me. No one said you couldn’t use weapons during the matches. Chimera Armor’s a type of weapon no? Doesn’t that mean it’ll be allowed?” the man replied.“How dare you!”This was a shameful statement, one which only those without dignity would dare say. Everyone was stirred. Chimera Armor was a prized possession of Horizon Peak, with many storied histories to its name. It
