Perhaps because of this shared ancestry, the two families were always engaged in various struggles, both openly and secretly. Each believed they were the rightful heirs of the lineage and enjoyed engaging in political maneuvering against each other. As a result, the families were in a constant state of hostility.The man they encountered was Rex Well. Arnold had always been superior to Rex in terms of skills, which led Rex to harbor significant resentment toward Arnold. However, Arnold's family, the Hufftons, declined for certain reasons, allowing Rex to rise.Rex's resentment toward Arnold was so strong that he wished to see Arnold suffer immensely. But despite the decline of the Hufftons, Arnold's strength remained formidable. He was talented, far more so than Rex. This made the Wells family resentful of the Hufftons.Previously, both families were evenly matched in strength. When Rex proved to not be as good as Arnold, the Wells could still find excuses to dismiss Rex’s inadequac

As the group spoke of past events, a clear tone of resignation colored their voices."But fortunately, some very promising newcomers have appeared in Aethersphere in recent years. Perhaps in time, our fighters will become stronger," Safiya added hopefully."Let's hope so.” They then continued on their way and soon entered the interior of Heaven's Peak Arena. In the spacious venue bustling with people, they quickly found their seats that had been arranged by the event organizer. Sitting beside them were fighters from a place near Beyford City, totaling seven people, all wearing priest robes. Leading them was a dignified and handsome young man in his twenties, who greeted Adrian’s group politely.After introducing themselves and finding out that these priests were from Mount Sage, Adrian remarked, "You've come from such a distant place. The journey must have been tiring."Adrian had heard of Mount Sage. It was a renowned mountain that was home to some prominent fighters, and it was

This fighting tournament had multiple segments, starting with sparring. Given its five-year frequency, sparring was essential; omitting it wouldn’t make sense. Over every five–year span, notable new apprentices emerged from various major forces. If the garrison spotted any, they’d negotiate with the respective factions for their recruitment. While these conditions might not faze major factions, they were highly beneficial for smaller forces.Additionally, independent fighters were also recruited, enticed by the decent benefits and stable employment despite the inherent danger. Becoming a civil servant was a viable option, regardless of the timing or circumstances.The first contestant to step up was a burly man in his thirties, immediately capturing the audience's attention."Why him?""He's participating again."Conversations buzzed among the spectators.Adrian, attending for the first time, didn't recognize the contender.Nathaniel explained, "Technically, this individual qual

This was Sawyer's old maneuver, seemingly ordinary to Leyton. As Sawyer aimed a punch at him, their fists collided with a resounding bang. Leyton remained composed, while Sawyer visibly struggled, clearly at a disadvantage.Leyton smirked, anticipating victory. Yet, in a sudden turn, a surge of immense force emanated from Sawyer, catching Leyton off guard. Realizing the situation's gravity had changed drastically from their previous encounter, Leyton tensed."Oh no," he muttered, startled.Before Leyton could react, Sawyer propelled him backward, sending him crashing to the ground with a dull thud. The unexpected reversal left Leyton bewildered, his senses reeling. What just happened?The audience, too, was taken aback by the unforeseen twist, their shock palpable. Even Nathaniel and Safiya wore expressions of disbelief, unable to comprehend what unfolded before them."What's happening? Sawyer couldn't possibly match Leyton. How could Leyton falter against Sawyer's attack?" Safi

Adrian stared intently at the arena, his brows furrowed in deep thought."Hmm, I agree," he responded to Brandon, his mind occupied with contemplation.Their conversation aside, the battle in the arena raged on."This move will be your downfall!" Leyton declared confidently, unleashing another fierce punch.It appeared that this time, Sawyer would have no chance to evade."It's over!"The spectators held their breath, anticipating Sawyer's third defeat. Yet, in the next instant, the tide turned again.Sawyer swiftly dodged Leyton's punch, his figure flashing with agility. Simultaneously, he retaliated with a powerful punch aimed squarely at Leyton. Caught off guard, Leyton couldn't evade in time as Sawyer's blow connected with startling force.Bam!The sound of the punch echoed as Leyton was sent hurtling through the air. Moments later, he crashed into the ground, eliciting an eruption of astonishment from the audience. The reason was evident: Sawyer's strike had shattered Ley

Adrian skillfully evaded Sawyer's attack and questioned, "I bear no grudge against you. Is such aggression truly necessary?"Yet, Sawyer launched another assault without pause after missing Adrian the first time. Clearly, Sawyer harbored no intention of showing mercy.Adrian sneered. "Hmph. Since you insist on playing dirty, allow me to demonstrate my capabilities."With a resounding bang, Adrian intercepted Sawyer's oncoming fist, seizing it in a vice-like grip, denying any chance of escape. Sawyer sensed something amiss as he struggled against Adrian's hold, his efforts proving futile against the iron grip."You... You..." Sawyer strained against Adrian's restraint but to no avail.In a decisive moment, Adrian seized the opportunity to unleash a powerful attack. Sawyer, defenseless, screamed in agony as he was propelled backward, rolling across the ground before scrambling back to his feet, poised for retaliation.However, before Sawyer could react, Adrian materialized before h

As the conversation unfolded, Sawyer was escorted away for further examination. With such a disruptive incident, the fighting tournament came to an abrupt halt."Adrian, are you alright? Did he harm you?" Nathaniel inquired with genuine concern when Adrian returned to his seat."Captain Nathaniel, do I appear injured to you?" Adrian responded with a reassuring smile."Heh, fair point," Nathaniel conceded. "But what's the matter with Sawyer? Why does he seem to have lost his sanity?"The unexpected turn of events left everyone bewildered and incredulous.Suddenly, Adrian reached out and plucked something from the air, extracting an object from Sawyer's body. The sight stunned all present."What is that?" They collectively voiced their bewilderment, unsure of the object's nature.Adrian's faint smile hinted at his understanding. "See this? There's more to this guy than meets the eye," he revealed, leaving everyone astonished by his revelation.The object extracted by Adrian was a

Despite the disbelief surrounding Adrian's identity, he remained unfazed by others' opinions. Their chatter was of no consequence to him; he had more pressing matters at hand, particularly regarding the ominous power emanating from Sawyer.With his extensive experience dealing with dark forces, Adrian had an inkling of the nature of Sawyer's power. It appeared that Sawyer had indeed been tainted by dark arts, though whether it stemmed from the Netherites' influence remained uncertain. After all, the Netherites were not the sole purveyors of such malevolent forces in the world.Turning to Craig, Adrian made a request. "Captain Craig, if you're agreeable, I would like to interrogate Sawyer. I aim to unearth the truths concealed within him.""Certainly, Mr. Adrian. I have no objections," Craig readily consented, arranging for Adrian to be escorted to the interrogation room.As Adrian entered, Sawyer stood handcuffed, resembling a prisoner in the dimly lit room devoid of any other occu
