The man carried with him a hard gaze, yet, behind those eyes held a tumultuous nature. His body posture gave off an air of elegant power too, vibrating with true energy. He was at a Strength of fifth level. Zephyr’s Might helped him see right through the interloper and instantly recognized his level.

“Help me! Kill this b*stard!” screamed Madame Lee. Seeing her cousin appear, Madame Lee could not help herself, but got excited. Even though her face was caked with fresh blood, her cunning and venomous eyes implied only one thing: Kill! Just kill this b*stard!

Seeing his cousin lay there broken, Lewis flew into a rage. However, his demeanor changed quickly when he gazed upon the assailant. Zephyr stood before him, confident, and sure of himself, it was as though he gave off an air of supreme capability. Lewis, unsettled by this new development, demanded, “How is this possible? How is this b*stard’s level higher than my own?”

Before Lewis continued, his body began to shiver. He was not afraid — but he will be soon — for Zephyr’s energy was holding him in place. If Lewis were to make a move, Zephyr would not hesitate to attack. “How is he so strong? Was he acting all this time?” murmured Lewis. He could tell that Zephyr was stronger. A violent shockwave emanated, and Lewis was absolutely terrified. Lewis felt like he was staring upon a great dragon, one which roared directly at his face. It was no surprise for Lewis to realize his will to fight had faded. He felt that the surrounding air had somehow slowed itself down, making it difficult to breathe.

Lewis dropped to his knees, he could not withstand Zephyr’s power any longer. “I’m sorry for my insolence, I’m here to greet the young master!” Lewis squealed. He was shaking, he had never been this terrified his whole life. Lewis was not able to withstand Zephyr’s advances, he knew Zephyr could have easily wiped him off the face of the Earth if he desired to. He knew he could only beg for mercy.

Seeing Lewis on his knees as he begged for Zephyr's mercy, once again, shocked the onlookers to their core, they could do nothing as they stared at him in disbelief. “You pig!” exclaimed Madame Lee, not believing what was occurring. Lewis felt resentment being built inside him; Madame Lee was nothing more than a distant relative, yet she often hung his name over her head as an excuse for recognition. Regardless, he never once thought that she would be this stupid.

“Lewis!” yelled Zephyr. “Yes, master!” replied the Khan official. He could not help but shiver at his name being called, Zephyr pressed down on Lewis further. “Tell me, who is the rightful heir to the Khan!” Zephyr said with playful delight, a sly smile danced across his face. “It’s y-you, of-of course…!” Lewis’ replied instantly. He knew what Zephyr was thinking, and instinctively swiped Madame Lee a hateful grimace.

“You’re right! You are a smart one!” Zephyr snorted out, his smile was cunning yet terrifying. “Leah, let us leave,” he called out, gesturing for her to follow. Leah simply blinked and followed him dutifully.

…

“Lewis, are you daft? Why did you let that b*stard go? He attacked me, you should have killed him!” spat Madame Lee. In her anger, she could not stop herself from staining the ground with her bloodied words. That however, did not stop her from the relentless screams thrown at Lewis. Lewis did not reply, but only glanced at the screaming bimbo, he thought how she almost cost him his life. With a swift hand, Lewis reached out and snapped Madame Lee’s neck.

The servants screamed in unison. Madame Lee could not do anything but stare at Lewis in disbelief as she fell limp. “Please, shut up,” he cursed. He could not shake off the feelings that Zephyr exuded, he was both terrified and shocked, mostly terrified.

“Everyone thought Zephyr was a useless b*stard, yet, unbeknownst to all, he was hiding, a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”

‘He’s at least a Strength of level six! Somehow, he achieved this without the clan’s help… how is this possible!?’ Lewis pondered in silence. After a while, he exhaled a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze towards the servants.

    “Whatever happened here today stays between us. If I so much as get a whiff that word got out, she will be your fate!” The servants hastily nodded in agreement, all clearly shaken to the core.…“Woah, master, when did you get so strong? Even Lewis was afraid of you,” said Leah, who complimented Zephyr with eyes full of astonishment. “Hey dummy, I’ve already told you not to work anymore, I said I had an idea on how to make bank!” replied Zephyr who lovingly patted her head. “Yeah, yeah, I know,” purred Leah, her eyes closed, and enjoyed his touch whimsically.“Lewis is a smart man, he won’t reveal my secret,” explained Zephyr. “According to Lincoln’s dosage, in another two months, the total amount of poison in the pill would be enough to kill me. If I’m still fine by then, he will definitely get suspicious!” Zephyr contemplated silently. The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of urgency and it caused him to clench his fist. Lincoln was not a weak man, he was a Streng

    In the following days since, thanks to Lewis, Zephyr’s life had gotten a lot smoother, even for Leah as she need not work so hard anymore. During the day, Zephyr kept a low profile, often silently training at home. Come night, he would retreat to the hills behind and trained vigorously. However, his power still was not enough. He needed to take extra precaution, if Lincoln discovered his secret, things would get complicated. Zephyr did not have a problem defending himself, however, he could not bear to put Leah in harm’s way.It was the dead of night, Zephyr was training in the hills. Zephyr grimaced seriously, the air around him was filled with true energy, ready to burst anytime. In front of him lay a huge pot, the kindling beneath setting it to boil. Inside the pot was an emerald sludge, it bubbled non-stop as its scent emitted an herby aroma. With Lewis’ help, Zephyr managed to secretly buy tons of herbs and medicines. He supposed that his order was finally completed.Zephyr had

    Zephyr was taken aback as he noticed this strange energy. He quickly focused on the phenomenon. He instinctively let out a great howl- no, a roar, a draconic war which rang throughout the forest. “This… is it a scale?” Finally, Zephyr realized what he had been looking at, a dragon scale. The scale was barely visible, a projection of his energies, from which vibrated great draconic power. “Oh, this is great! My Might has finally started to take form! This is just the first of many!” Zephyr barely contained his excitement. For a brief moment, Zephyr felt as though he was unworthy of such an ancient and mighty power. Mastery over The Way of The Dragon allowed the user to transform themselves into a dragon. It began with a single scale, then, finally materializing into an epic beast — the strongest of all — a dragon. Even though it was just a single scale, it still immensely amplified the user’s defenses, a terrible power to hold indeed. “Still… it’s barely a scale, just a brief projecti

    The night came and went. When dawn broke, a breeze whistled through the hills behind the Khan household. An agile shadow zoomed through the foliage, the thick bushes doing nothing to impede him. Following the whistle of his movements, Zephyr came to an abrupt stop and found himself standing upon a large boulder. “Take this!” Zephyr felt his energy transfer into his right hand and immediately formed a great fist, mercilessly sending it the boulder’s way. “Quake before me!” A loud blast ensued, and a terrible crumbling sound followed. When the dust settled, all Zephyr saw was a gaping hole through the boulder. “Again!” With another huff, Zephyr unleashed a volley of his blows, cascading upon the boulder’s face. With his volley completed, Zephyr stared at the intricate webbing that plastered the boulder’s face, hundreds if not thousands of fine cracks riveted throughout the stone before it crumbled in on itself, turning to dust. “Earthquake Fist might seem simple, but it sure has a lo

    The grand hall of the Khan was expansive, by the time Zephyr arrived, the place was filled to the brim. Seated at the spot of reverence was a middle-aged looking man with a prim and proper visage. All smiles with him until his eyes laid on Zephyr. There he sat, the Khan regent — Mist Khan. On his left sat his people, while on his right sat a group of people who were differently dressed, they were not Khan. On that row, sat a girl who looked around the age of 16 with enchanting beauty. Her posture was elegant, and she carried herself like so. Every man around the room had their eyes on her. “Aurora Greenwood!” Upon laying his eyes on her, Zephyr could not help but notice the butterflies that formed in his stomach. Although Zephyr himself was quite the suitor, he had to admit that Aurora’s beauty was truly mesmerizing, none could think of anyone to compare. Zephyr stood at the back of the hall, avoiding attention, nonetheless, his special relations would draw attention anyway. Among

    Mist was confused, but quickly feigned a smile, “Zephyr boy, come here.” It was unbelievable, the usually cold and resentful Mist greeted Zephyr with warmth and welcome. “I wish to speak to him in private!” Aurora stood up and demanded coldly. Mist would not dare deny her request, and hurriedly allowed it, “Of course, Zephyr boy, lady Greenwood is an honored guest, treat her well.” … At a small terrace, Aurora examined Zephyr before she spoke coldly, “You know why I’m here, don’t you?” Zephyr offered a small smile, “Yes, I know. You’re here to cancel our wedding, isn’t it?” In his previous life, Zephyr was utterly grief-stricken, yet, no, he was nothing but calm and collected. Aurora was taken aback by the calmness of the man who stood before her, “Aren’t you mad? Don’t you hate me?” she asked. She could not help but gazed at Zephyr with a quizzical stare. “Why would I be? If we aren’t fated to be, then that’s that! Besides, you even saved me the embarrassment of publicly cancellin

    “Zephyr, you idiot! Have you gone mad?! This is Aurora’s gracious gift to you, and yet you reject her?” Puck, unable to contain his rage, screamed out, barely being able to stop himself from snatching the pills right then and there. Aurora realized what was at stake, she was a smart girl after all, and felt regretful for her actions. It seemed as though Zephyr was not well-received around here, if she knew about this earlier, she would have handed the pills to him earlier at the terrace. “Alright, if you ever need help, do visit me at the Boundless Academy!” Aurora spoke with a caring voice and kept her pills. Puck was absolutely livid, his fists clenched, eyes red with anger. Puck danced around the idea of killing Zephyr right then and there, Zephyr had denied him a great opportunity. Zephyr on the other hand, maintained his stoic look. If Aurora Greenwood was not here, Puck definitely would have taught Zephyr a terrible lesson. “I’ll take my leave then, please carry on without me!”

    “Here they are!” Zephyr flashed a wry smile, wondering if he could ever catch a break. He quickly ducked into the bush nearby, carefully hiding himself between the reeds. Although using Lightfoot was crucial to his escape, it used too much of his true energy to operate consistently. Were Zephyr to be caught without enough true energy, it would not bode well. A quick sliver of shimmering light flashed across Zephyr’s eyes, followed by a cracking of bark, and whipping of vines. A great tree fell, and before it stood a middle-aged man, hands clasped around the handle of a sharp sword. Behind him, nine other men ensued, faces full of bloodlust, “Linus!” Zephyr thought to himself after he scanned the entire crew before his gaze finally settled on the man who felled the tree. Linus was Puck’s greatest underling, a fighter with immense skill, a Strength of level seven. ‘In my current state, I could probably take Linus on, but going against 10 fighters at once, I will definitely get my *ss

    Zephyr was shocked. Being watched by such an Emperor at the Creation Realm at such a close distance was really not an easy thing.If it were any other warrior with weak essences, he would probably be scared out of his wits and would not be able to resist the soul-level pressure at all.However...Zephyr has a strong spirit energy, and his state of mind was as firm as a rock.Under the gaze of Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, Zephyr didn't even bat an eyelid. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the emperor's eyes. In a voice that was neither servile nor overbearing, he said, "I really can't imagine anyone else in the entire Thunder Dragon Clan who can compare to you, Senior. You're absolutely peerless and matchless...."Pausing for a moment!Zephyr quickly changed the topic and bowed respectfully again.

He could only raise his head and carefully size up the magnificent Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him.At this moment...The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His face was upright and his long hair was tied behind his back. His bearing was extraordinary. He possessed a mighty aura even without being angry.
