Their fight was not exactly guaranteed—the rules of the game made it so that if Xander and Zayn never actually encountered each other, they would never fight. Still, it was a slim chance that something like that would actually happen.

As Xander trudged forward, one of his lap dogs asked gingerly, “Say, most respected Mr. Griffin! How many dog tags do you think Zayn’s got by this point?”

He started out being a member from another team, but he immediately gave up his dog tag upon seeing Xander, despite the latter working in the exact same way Zayn did. His reputation and fighting skills were simply too renowned for these people to leave after offering their tags—they stuck around, trailing behind him like Xander’s very own team of fanboys, just waiting to watch the battle of a lifetime between Xander and Zayn.

By now, he had garnered about fifty odd people with him.

Another one of his lap dogs chimed in immediately, “C’mon. As if that’s a legit question! Of course he could never net

    Anyone in the know could tell exactly what was going on: Xander had a specific axe to grind, and his target was Shaelyn Peach.Shaelyn simply replied, “Last I checked, Mr. Griffin, whatever’s between Zayn and me is none of your business.”The crowd was aghast by her audacity—she fired back at Xander, of all people! Did she have a death wish?Even the looks on Mr. Otto and her companions from the Aeolus House changed. Furtively, they tried to shoot her signals demanding her to stop talking before she killed herself just because she had a smart mouth.Xander’s eyebrows were practically knitted together. Enraged, he scoffed mirthlessly, “Do you expect an applause for your temerity, Shaelyn? How brave of you to disrespect me! Shall I applaud Aeolus House, for producing such a brave and stunning member, Mr. Otto?”His face was so stormy that anyone would have guessed how infuriated he was. Even a simple sneer sounded as imposing as the boom of a thunder, and the crowd visibly tensed.

    One of them leaped to his feet and made his objection clear. “It’s a bit too much to ask us to hand over our dog tags. Don’t you think so, Mr. Griffin?”He was an expert fighter who took Ossiumol once, though not much improvement had come to him other than making him fight about as good as a stellar skilled pugilist. Still, the Aeolus House was far from a ragtag band with a cool name—they were a group of powerful fighters with both reputation and skills, and the fact that Xander treated them like they were nothing just reeked of arrogance.Xander’s response, however, was to meet the man’s eyes with a menacing glower.It looked so intimidating that the man stumbled backward as though he was staggered, his face pale in fear.“What did you say?” Xander boomed, narrowing his eyes threateningly and considering the man like a hungry leviathan eager to swallow anyone whole. He oozed an aura of terror.The man fell into an abrupt silence with his head hanging.Mr. Otto clenched his teeth

    The Aeolus House members formed a line and handed their dog tags to Xander, their meekness and docility highlighting the peak of Xander’s unchallenged dominion. No one harbored even the will of dissent. Even their breaths had become bated.Outside these woods, they were people occupying positions of power, people who owned hundreds of millions of assets, people who commanded the loyalty of a surfeit of employees. And yet, here, they were no better than the lapdogs and goons who served them out there—and it was not necessarily a fault of their own. Xander was too powerful. No sane person would think it’s a good idea to offend him.The Aeolus House left with their tails between their legs. They waxed their worth, but what good could it do? None of them could punch harder than Xander could.“That Xander Griffin is the definition of shameless! He’s got no f**king rock bottom, does he? He doesn’t even give us the amount of respect Aeolus House deserve—that wretched jack*ss!” One of the m

    “Enough, all of you!” Mr. Otto suddenly bellowed above the hubbub. “I want all of you to stop abusing Shaelyn right now! All that needs to be done is to have Shaelyn and I visit Xander after this event for a formal apology. Nothing’s gonna happen to the Aeolus House.”Shaelyn bit her lips and said to him, “Mr. Otto, please listen to me. Zayn promised me that he will defeat Xander when it happens, and I just think all this pessimism is premature. We should place our faith in Zayn, you know?”Mr. Otto looked at her with disappointment. “Shaelyn… I’ve always thought you were better than this. I’ve always seen you as a worthy heiress for our flock, but look at you! You just—sigh. Damn it, it doesn’t matter. You can’t squeeze toothpaste back into its tube, can you? You’re on your own, Shaelyn. As for Zayn… you should keep your hope in check, I think. He cannot win against Xander. Of that, I’m sure!”Shaelyn clenched her jaw. She was a firm believer in Zayn’s prowess, but after being surr

    The man’s aura, however, did not frighten Zayn at all. He simply shook his head and said, “You’re no match for me. If you really wanna win, maybe you two should team up.”The man’s eyebrows creased; his eyes shadowed by a hint of scorned fury. “Uppity brat,” he cursed, before hurling a punch forward at the start of his barrage.Zayn shook his head and dropped the tags. His own attack was already clashing with his opponent before the tags even landed.Since he joined the ranks of other master fighters, he had never fought another one who was similar to him in strength and skill—and so this opponent became the first. It was hard not to get excited over a prospect like that, and so Zayn braced his first with gusto.Bang! Their punches connected. Zayn remained on his feet, but his opponent staggered backward a little.It was clear who had the upper hand.A fraction of a second hardly passed when Zayn met another one of the opponent’s attacks.

    The platinum hair foreign woman gawked at him with her eyes twinkling in amazement and awe. Zayn had displayed such monstrous power that even if the two of them worked together, they might not be able to fight Zayn at all!She could not fathom the logic of it all. How did Zayn get to such power?!With that on her mind, she took a few steps forward. “Not surprised you see no problem challenging Xander’s authority. Who would have thought you’re this powerful now?” she said. “Of course, the caveat here is that Xander’s a lot stronger than we are. If that was the extent of what you have, then you’re still a few paces behind.”Zayn smiled. “I wouldn’t worry about me if I were you.”He turned on his heel, walked back to where his pile of dog tags was, and picked them up before leaving. He heard a series of whooshes behind him and extended his hand, catching a dozen of additional dog tags the two had thrown at him without turning.“We are no match to you, so you deserve to own ours.

    Zayn continued his ride into the woods undisturbed, as any animal that saw him had the sense to duck or avoid him altogether. His previous clash with the master challenger had worn nothing down saved for some of Zayn’s stamina; still, it was easily replenished in a few minutes.By now, Zayn had about more than seventy dog tags in his hands—an amount that marked him as a possible contender for the title of ‘Best Hunter’ had it not been pragmatically useless. Zayn could lose to Xander and the latter became the best hunter by default, or he could win and obtain the latter’s dog tags.The real rule to this year’s Great Hunt was that only the strongest would be crowned the best hunter. There was no room for luck—and certainly no room for two winners. The strongest victor would arise from their battle.Zayn found a cave to act as his shelter for the night. After a good night’s rest, he felt energized and bursting with vim. He walked out of the cave with his eyes twinkling brightly, which

    “Okay, fine. You’re right about this one.”“Well, not that it matters. Man, we really got the best out of this year’s participation, am I right? How often does anyone get to see a duel-to-the-death from two master fighters with their own eyes, huh? I wonder who’s going to survive?”“What kinda question is that? Of course it’s Xander!”As Zayn made his long-awaited appearance, the alarm and excursions were kicked into high-gear. The air was bubbling with excitement and the mood reached a fever pitch amid the fanfare.Seventy-odd dog tags hung around the Rheasian tiger’s neck. They clanked and clinked as the beast trudged forward, adding force to Zayn’s intimidation. Even from a distance, Zayn and Xander’s eyes met.The air heated up as though sparks were flying from between them.When Zayn was within the fifty-meter radius, the crowd hushed. They bated their breaths, as though worried that any sound they made would disturb Xander or Zayn.“So, Zayn Larson. You’ve got quite the te

    He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h

    “You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov

    Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement

    Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage

    “Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.

    Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w

    Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I

    Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did

    “Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
