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
“You lot are nothing but an itch for my apprentice to scratch. This is Chimera Armor, do you know how magnificent that was? Not only would the defenses be incredibly powerful, but once worn, there would be no hope for the energies around to be sucked and used. In other words, your energy attacks wouldn’t even touch a strand of his hair!” Ethan stated proudly, chuckling at the Supreme apprentices.“How dare you!”Ethan’s scathing statement had rightfully riled up the apprentices, but they were unable to do anything about it at all. Their powers were much worse than Yang’s, causing him to be defeated. How could they avenge him knowing this? “It would seem that there’s no other challenger… hahaha!” Ethan laughed at the Supreme apprentices. Maxim’s stoic face became even more so. Although he did not say anything, the anger within his eyes was undeniable. Though, there was nothing he could do about the use of Chimera Armor.“Brother, can I borrow your weapon?” Zephyr said to Tristan as h
Ethan’s expression quickly turned sour. ‘How was that possible? How did he do it?’ he thought to himself. “What are you doing? Get up!” Ethan then yelled out frantically into the arena. The apprentice that was sent flying slowly got up as he coughed all the while. He carried a look of fear as he stared at Zephyr.What went wrong? He had sent forth his energy, locking down Zephyr who stood there motionless like a fool, waiting to be killed. He had not expected that before he even touched him, Zephyr had appeared behind his back with Wolfsbane coming down on him. The force was too much and he was sent flying out of the arena.‘It’s just… a coincidence, a lucky shot!’ the fallen man thought to himself. Zephyr was nothing more than an insect, how could he match his own Agile powers, even more so as he was donned in Chimera Armor. It was a truly powerful weapon that allowed its users to even contend with Agiles of level four!On the other hand, brother Albert watched on eagerly. This was
Besides, the apprentice’s movements were hindered by the Chimera Armor. He was not as agile as Zephyr. Zephyr was not constricted in his movements as compared to him. In other words, the Armor was rendered useless now. “Damn it!” Ethan cursed. He and the rest quickly realized Zephyr’s tactic; causing Ethan’s expression to sour greatly.Zephyr brandished Wolfsbane and had an offensive stance, ready to attack. With his Thunderfoot activated, his speed was terrifying. In an instant, the apprentice was knocked out. Zephyr stopped there, choosing not to continue. “Damn it all, brother, we submit!” Ethan said to brother Albert. If they did not yield, Zephyr would most definitely destroy the Armor.“Oh… okay…” Brother Albert replied, feigning ignorance as he spoke slowly. Right as he was about to call the fight off, Zephyr decided to make his move. He made his final attack. The Chimera Armor was going to be… destroyed?!“No!!” Ethan cried out in pain as he watched their prized possession b
