“Don’t do it!” Brother Albert yelled furiously. His energy boiled over as he reached out his hand to grab at Ethan. Although it was a simple move, all the primordial energy within a mile was sucked into his palm, making it seem as though it solidified. This one move almost caused nearby folk to spit out blood.No one had expected Ethan to attack, especially with such bloodlust behind it. Ethan was adamant for Zephyr to die then and there. However, Maxim had counterattacked earlier than brother Albert. He had rushed over the second Ethan moved. With a swoosh of his robe, a rush of energy came rolling towards Ethan. If one looked closely they could see stream after stream of red on Maxim’s face, showing how out of balance his energy was. Ethan’s attack was too sudden.Maxim and Ethan’s energies clashed, ripping the arena in two. Runes began to manifest all over the arena in a dazzling display. The protective dome that brother Albert had put in place burst open from the force. Many rune
Maxim moved slightly, and his gaze fixed towards the arena. At this point, Ricky laid there on the ground with a weak energy signature. He was utterly defeated. Although he was grazed by Maxim and Ethan’s clash, his true injuries came from Zephyr. The clash between the two masters did not help at all, and it left him lying there on the ground. Zephyr however, stood there with a sword in hand. He carried an anxious look towards Maxim. “Are you a practitioner of evil?” Maxim asked, his expression changed slightly. “No!” Zephyr replied sternly. Maxim’s stare was hurting him, it pierced him, though he did not react to it.“Hmm…” Maxim nodded, before turning to Ethan, “You have lost!” Was that it? Ethan’s expression soured. Was that all to it? “Brother Maxim, do not play coy. There’s a good chance this b*stard’s an apprentice of the Lunar Academy. If you play coy, you’d be dooming us all. If he was a Lunar apprentice, then he is a threat, a dangerous, limitless threat, do you know how cruc
“I have things to do, I shall take my leave then!” Ethan said to brother Albert with a sour expression. He did not wait for Albert to reply as he quickly left the scene. Brother Albert could not help but make an expression as he watched Ethan leave. He then looked to Maxim, “Horizon’s defeat today would no doubt add to the grudge they have against you. Ethan’s getting more and more boisterous hasn’t he…” Maxim interjected, “Then let him come!” Maxim stated quietly as he maintained his stoicism. Brother Albert could only shake his head at that, he then looked to the arena.Zephyr stood there shaking. Although nothing happened, Ethan Cline was still an Academy leader. He could have easily killed Zephyr in an instant. Although Ethan was held back by Maxim, a small force was able to leak out and it hurt him. “This kid’s something else. We overlooked him, haven’t we? He’s strong, and has achieved a Focus, plus his speed is out of this world. Even if he lacked the potential, he still has a
With another flick of his finger, a stream of draconic energy poured out. It immediately destroyed Ethan’s energy. ‘I must take this time to recover!’ Zephyr thought as he recalled the blow he sustained from Ethan. Even with Maxim’s protection, he had suffered greatly from it. With the movement of his energies, Zephyr slowly emitted draconic Might. Stream after stream of energy came and went with differing amounts of strength. They came together like a river that flowed through his body. Zephyr continued to recuperate.On this day, as Zephyr recuperated, a girl’s voice came from outside his room, “Brother Khan, are you here?” The voice was unmistakable, it was Amber. “Sister Amber? Hold on, I’m coming…” Zephyr replied as he packed his things before exiting the building. Outside his room stood Amber, who under the sun’s rays looked humbly attractive. Zephyr felt slightly uneasy at the sight of her.Amber was part of his cohort, and one of the few new recruits who was a girl. Therefore
“What luck, brother!” Tristan said as he and Murray rushed over to meet Zephyr as they left. Tristan made sure to make his jealousy known by patting Zephyr’s shoulder violently. “Is Moonview Cave really that special?” Zephyr asked. Although one could communicate with previous Supreme masters through their essences, it was a daunting task indeed. No matter how valuable Moonview Cave was, it did not warrant the excitement around it.“How dare you, do you not know what gift you’ve just been given?!” Murray laughed. He then explained further, “Within the Moonview Cave, apart from the essences of previous masters, there are also many lessons about fighting styles and what not. I’ve been into the Cave once, and upon the cave walls. There were many written lessons and teachings from previous generations. It was there that I realized something through the teachings which allowed me to improve tenfold!” Tristan added to the discussion, “Indeed indeed. I too experienced that. It was through the
As Zephyr continued to observe his surroundings, he could feel his spirit be drawn into what he was seeing. Were he to put himself into it fully, there was no doubt he could communicate with the essences to find a new level of mastery over his techniques. No doubt, his level would also improve quickly. The stronger one’s spirit was, the more sensitive it would be to these essences. Some apprentices who were lucky enough to enter the cave may not have noticed these things and would have only felt the great sense of energy present. However, neither Dewey nor Maxim would know Zephyr had reincarnated, and was living his second life. His spirit was beyond that of the norm, thus he could see the frightening visages before him.As he looked on, Zephyr finally realized the sheer power that Supreme Peak contained, the histories it contained had great fighters of old. He knew he was in a divine place. However, Zephyr quickly gathered himself. Although these visages were awesome, they did not su
Finally, a sword light appeared with a clanging sound. The sound which resounded in Zephyr’s ears made him suddenly feel dizzy. After that, the only thing left was this all-powerful sword light. The sword light was as narrow as a candle’s flame and looked as if it could be blown out with a puff. This in which belied the true majestic power it possessed — the fact that the sword light could be a sword itself!Zephyr’s expression gradually changed. All around him was darkness and the sword light was the only thing he could see. The sword light began to expand before his very eyes. Suddenly, the sword light blinked once as if it was laughing at him before a powerful, boundless aura exploded from it. This sword looked as if it intended on splitting the heavens apart and unfolding a new era of a chaotic world. The sword light blinked again, as if it alone controlled all the gods in heaven, and it wanted to be the first ray of sunlight in this new era.Zephyr’s unassailable Focus swept u
These were the lights of the gods, the songs of the ancient saints and the poems of the immortals. Zephyr was slowly coming to an understanding of the meaning behind the sword light. The man was not trying to pass on a martial art technique or a sword technique to him, he was actually trying to make him comprehend something about the Dao of the sword, which was infinitely more powerful than all the secret sword skills combined. Wild thoughts started to race through his mind as he tried his hardest to comprehend the Dao of the sword. Right about when he felt he was about to grasp the meaning of it all, it eluded him. When he thought he would never be able to grasp the meaning, a shred of comprehension dawned on him. In the end, it was like a wild goose chase. He only tried to focus on the sword light amidst the chaos in his mind. “Looks like Zephyr is wasting his time there,” Dewey spoke with pity in his voice as he stood in the grand hall. “Yang, however, seemed to have comprehende
