Lori did not need to mention her name.Because perhaps his master, Alex, already knew.Wine Clara. One year ago.The only luxurious restaurant in Draken City. A meeting that was never meant to be seen. A round table, dim lights, and Clara deliberately sitting a little too close—because she did not know that aside from her, there was also Olivia, who liked Alex.Olivia had come that night without notice.She watched from a distance.She saw Alex’s faint smile.She saw Clara pour wine into his glass.And the girl left.Alex slowly folded the letter again.There was no change in his expression. No further questions.He simply leaned back and looked at Lori briefly.“There’s no need for you to explain,” he said softly.Lori fell silent.Rey, who had been holding his breath, finally blinked.“Master… you already knew?”Alex closed his eyes.“She never hated without a reason.”The atmosphere turned quiet.Then he placed the thin folder over his face, covering part of his view.“Leave.”Lori

Rey’s whisper was like a small spark.But that spark spread quickly.In less than a week, the atmosphere of Block Seven had completely changed.Where the corridors were once filled with savage stares and brutal rivalry, now every step Alex took was accompanied by lowered heads.Not out of fear.But out of respect.The inmates began setting aside their best portions for him. At first, it was only warm meals. Then the finest roasted meat from the central kitchen.Soon after, wooden crates filled with drinks arrived. Unrequested. Even without Alex expressing the slightest desire for them.Every morning, in front of Alex’s iron cell, there was always something new. One day, a crate engraved with the crest of a northern noble family appeared.Inside: fifty-year-old red wine.The next day, another family sent high-grade spirit tea.The day after that, rare spices meant to strengthen Qi circulation.Rey, who was assigned to record the deliveries, could only let out a long sigh every evening.

The once-roaring atmosphere suddenly fell silent again. Alex’s threat had not yet faded from the air. His gaze continued sweeping across the stands one by one. It was not an angry stare. Nor was it bloodthirsty.It was cold.Cold like someone who truly did not care how many enemies would be born after today.Several nobles who had been whispering immediately swallowed hard. The aura radiating from Alex’s body now appeared more charismatic, stronger, and entirely different from before.Alex took a single step forward.“There is one more thing.”His voice was not loud, yet the entire arena heard it clearly.“The name you heard today… is not to be spread.”Several brows instantly lifted.An elderly nobleman whispered softly, “What does he mean…?”“From this day on, if anyone asks who the new Dragon Prison King is…”He paused for a fraction of a second. A faint wind swirled lightly around his body.“You may only speak one name. AX.” His eyes turned razor-sharp.That single word fell firml

The atmosphere turned silent once more. Now, only the hiss of Dragon Qi filled the air.The dark golden dragon above the Dragon King began to coil slowly. Its scales gleamed like living steel. Its eyes remained locked onto Alex.The Dragon King smiled faintly.“Then… let’s see whether that little sword of yours can cut down my giant dragon!”ROOOOOOOARRR!!!With a wave of his hand, the massive dragon moved instantly. It wasn’t merely charging.It descended in a spiral, its body twisting like a dark golden storm. The pressure from its movement alone peeled the arena floor layer by layer.The air suddenly became suffocating—and scorching hot.The entire audience erupted in excited screams.“This is the ultimate attack!”“Alex is finished!”The dragon opened its jaws. Dark golden light gathered in its throat.Then—WOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!It dove straight toward Alex, carrying an overwhelming surge of Qi in a single destructive trajectory.The air seemed to split apart, making way for the Qi d

DEEEENG!The bell was finally struck. Its ringing echoed long and wide, as if even the wind had stopped in response.The next second—WHOOM!!!The steel ground beneath their feet shattered at the same time. It was neither the Dragon King who moved first nor Alex who initiated the attack. Both had already shot off in opposite directions at the exact same instant.BOOOOOOM!!!The first explosion from the collision of their fists erupted in the center of the arena. A shockwave swept outward in every direction, causing the spectator stands to tremble violently.After that exchange, both of them were pushed back a single step.“Good! So we’re both at the low-level Soul Fusion stage with Qi!”WHOOSH!The Dragon Prison King spun his body, unleashing a roundhouse kick. Dense Qi wrapped around his leg like a giant claw.At the same moment, Alex crossed his arms.DHUAAAR!The floor beneath Alex’s feet cracked open for dozens of meters. Yet his body remained firmly rooted in his original positio

The name spread like a wave of cold.Some people instinctively lowered their heads. Others held their breath. Even the air seemed to thin, as if it refused to move without his permission.Now the Dragon King stopped at the edge of the crater where Cain was embedded halfway into the ground. His gaze merely swept over him.Protector Cain, who had long been a symbol of fear, was now nothing more than common trash. Weak—and fit to be trampled by the strong.Then—Clap.Another clap. Yet it felt heavier than the previous explosion.“It has been twenty years,” he said calmly, his voice flowing like a winter river. “Twenty years… and not a single person has been able to shake my name in this arena.”He stepped onto the arena stairs. The cracked steel ground sank even deeper beneath his feet.“I built this reputation with blood. With bones. With fear.”His gaze shifted to Alex.“But today… you have drowned it.”The entire audience in the stands remained silent, holding their breath, waiting o

“Nan’er, don’t go near your father! His memories haven’t fully recovered yet!” Yuan Yin shouted in panic.However, the caregiver named Fei Yi suddenly changed her appearance into Wen Shi. Everyone was instantly shocked by this sight—especially Luo Xiang, who had already regained all of his past memories.“Shi’er… h-how can you be alive again?!”Pulling the sword out of her own chest, Wen Shi gave a faint smile and said softly,“My fate has always been cruel. My life was toyed with… This reality was never fair to me. Gege, I was resurrected by Chang Guan…”Her body then turned into black smoke and slowly dissipated.In the next moment, Luo Nan rushed forward and hugged his father tightly. He cried uncontrollably, and his sobs soon spread to Yuan Yin as well. She ran over and embraced her husband tightly.With his memories restored, deep regret surged within Luo Xiang’s heart. He had left Yuan Yin when she needed him the most. Even worse, he felt he had failed Luo Nan as a father.“Yin’

“I don’t remember what kind of relationship you have with me. I don’t even remember anything about myself. I only want to know one thing… wasn’t it you who gave energy to the Third Heavenly Judge? What exactly are your intentions?”Setting down his small cup, the masked man clapped his hands, clearly praising Luo Xiang’s words.“In short, it’s very simple. I want to restore your lost memories. Living without a clear identity—doesn’t that lead to endless loneliness?”“With such good intentions… you must also want something from me, right?”“Hahahaha! Nothing in this world is free. Sword God, my request is very simple… I only want you to appear and kill the Supreme Emperor during the Ranking Tournament.”The Sword God fell silent in deep thought. But suddenly, Long Hua Chen, his three brothers, and Yuan Yin emerged from the void.“Gege!”Swuuuuuush!“Do you want to interfere? Isn’t it true that, to avenge the hatred in your hearts, you all share the same plan as mine? Or will you all be

Just as he was about to leave to meet the person in question, thousands of Heavenly troops suddenly surrounded Yuan Yin and the Light Clan forces.“The Light Clan has allied with the power of the Main Gods to betray the Supreme Emperor… A decree of extermination has been issued. You are now surrounded. Surrender!”Yuan Yin smiled faintly and struck the ground with her palm. Instantly, a massive formation shaped like radiant swords emerged from every corner of the grand formation established by the Light Clan. All the swords were now poised to launch an attack against the thousands of Heavenly troops.“Wife of the Sword God… why do you still insist on rebelling?”“If you hadn’t impersonated the Sword God and schemed to overthrow the Supreme Emperor’s throne, we would never have acted!”“Now, surrender!”Rooooaaaaarh!Swuuuuuuuuuush! Swuuuuuuuush!The Dragon God—and the entire Dragon Clan army—suddenly appeared from multiple directions. Their arrival immediately put the Heavenly troops

“Th-this technique…”The Sky Judge’s body trembled. He was vaguely familiar with several of the Sword God’s techniques.The moment he realized that his opponent was the real Sword God, he immediately ordered several five-star True God–stage resurrection soldiers to destroy the barrier formation that was imprisoning them.However, thousands of swords had already shot forth, slicing their bodies into countless pieces. The outcome was completely unexpected.Slaaaaaaash! Slaaaaaaash!The thousands of swords controlled by the masked man grew even more frenzied. Every single resurrection soldier present was annihilated without leaving a trace.In the end, only the Third Sky Judge remained.Luo Xiang clearly intended to kill him. Yet suddenly, a wisp of black mist surged into the Sky Judge’s body. Instantly, his eyes turned blood-red.“Damn it… Who interfered?”Luo Xiang spread out his divine soul perception, trying to locate the entity that had released the black mist.Suddenly, the Sky Jud

“Then what should we do?”“Hua Chen, you search for and monitor the masked man’s movements… As for the others, continue carrying out the plan as arranged. Qin Yan, do your utmost to conceal my husband’s existence and identity. Do not let him be exploited by the Supreme Emperor’s faction…”“We have heard and accepted the Queen’s command!”*High above the sky, after concealing his aura, Luo Xiang was utterly shocked by the conversation he had just overheard. Everything sounded extremely reasonable—especially the implication that he himself seemed to have a deep connection with that group. Moreover, because of the golden sword that had pierced the ground, he could not approach them directly, at least not before obtaining solid proof of the truth.“I’m aware that I have no one by my side. The only clue I possess is a single letter left by the Enlightened Emperor… It’s better if I don’t reveal myself for now…”Swuuuuuuush!Using his spatial power once more, Luo Xiang arrived above the cen

“Report this matter to the Queen…”Swuuuuuuush!Long Hua Chen chased after the direction in which the golden sword had flown. As for Qin Yan, he also departed, but headed in a different direction.*Elsewhere, Luo Xiang saw Xue Xan Kong leave through a teleportation formation and immediately used his spatial power. He appeared right in front of the man, whose face instantly turned pale.“M-my lord… D-didn’t you say you would release me and my family?!”Without replying, Luo Xiang sensed the aura of a mysterious figure approaching his direction and swiftly struck Xue Xan Kong’s movement meridians. After that, he carried the immobilized man into a quiet forest.Releasing the seal, Luo Xiang said, “I don’t wish to kill anyone else… Now tell me, what exactly happened to the Sword God one year ago?”“W-who are you? How could you not know such a major event?”“Speak clearly. I don’t like beating around the bush!”Xue Xan Kong’s body trembled. Although the masked man’s tone sounded calm, he

Bintang smashed several GPS devices, even the hidden camera inside the car’s dashboard. Shaking his head helplessly, he immediately returned to the inn.Some time later, he arrived.“Why are you coming back so late, dear?” Tia showed a worried expression. She began checking Bintang’s entire body.“I’m fine…”Tuuuuut! Tuuuuut!The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. After answering it, he glanced at Tia and Anya alternately.“An envoy from the Sky Dragon organization is on the way here… You two should prepare to return…”Anya and Tia felt reluctant to leave Bintang. What they didn’t know, however, was that Bintang was already entangled in a major problem in the State of Jiwa!If he returned as well, he feared it would cause trouble for his position as the Dragon King. Since they still didn’t know his identity, Bintang had to resolve everything on his own in Jiwa!After waiting for a while, Anya and Tia said their farewells. Both reminded Bintang to always act carefully.Recalling their

“They think they can snatch this from my hands? Tchiiih! Stupid Ang He!”Making a sharp maneuver at the intersection, Lue Yinan’s action caused Bintang’s grip to loosen slightly. His elbow accidentally brushed against one of the large mounds on the girl beside him.“D-Don’t try to take advantage of this situation?!”“Damn it?! I’ve never experienced driving like this before… Who knows what you’re planning to do next!”“Tchiiih!”Lue Yinan kept her eyes focused ahead, fearlessly running every red light with ease.But in the middle of that tense journey, Bintang’s calm expression was nothing but a façade. In truth, he was extremely nervous.“Kim… Pick up the Mercedes S-Class halfway down the road, Miuw!” Lue Yinan immediately called someone through the watch on her wrist.In an instant, a large covered trailer suddenly cut across the road. Seeing her companion arrive quickly, Lue Yinan glanced at the helicopter still searching for her whereabouts.“Open it now?!”Greeeeek!The truck’s r

“Do I look like a wandering ghost to you?”The girl named Lue Yinan snapped back to her senses. She quickly turned around and delivered a precise punch toward Bintang’s face.But Bintang was prepared. He blocked the punch with his palm.Baaaaams!A gust of cold wind spread outward. Bintang tried to seize her body, but with a swift movement, she exploited a small opening, leaving him grasping nothing but air.“Interesting… What exactly do you plan to do after knowing where I’m from?” Lue Yinan asked, slightly impressed.“I just want to know… And I’m looking for someone.”Lue Yinan lowered her guard slightly. As long as the young man in front of her wasn’t trying to seize the contents of her bag, she didn’t want to escalate things unnecessarily.“I’m from the Dragon Axe Organization… One of the major organizations under the three rulers of this country. And who is the person you’re looking for?”Bintang also lowered his guard. He stretched lightly before speaking.“She’s a young girl, s

“Th-this…” Cong Sian’s body felt boneless. He was utterly limp, his eyes dull after losing sixty million dollars in less than thirty minutes.But what was even more valuable was Anya’s life-contract asset, which had already been reserved by various young masters in the Nation of Souls.“H-how am I supposed to take responsibility for this…” His mind was in chaos, until Bintang—who was about to leave Cong Yang Club—left him with a message.“This loss is a warning for you… and for anyone who intends to take advantage of my family…”Inside his Mercedes S-Class, Bintang gently treated the small cut on Anya’s lip.Once the first mission was complete, the War Goddess slowly drove the car in search of lodging.Blue Lotus Inn.“Sir, do you have a room with a spacious interior?” Bintang chose a single room, as their current situation was still unsafe.He did not want anyone—including Cong Sian—to take Anya away from him again.“Bi-Bintang…” The War Goddess’s face flushed red in embarrassment.B

On the left side, Huang wore an arrogant smile, openly showing his aggressive style.Beside him, Suen Ying appeared much calmer. He spoke less now, seemingly moving only when he had strong cards.As for Gian, he leaned back casually, his sharp eyes filled with deceit. He stared at Bintang as if trying to intimidate him before the game even began.Seeing this, Bintang merely smiled faintly. His expression remained flat and emotionless as he looked at Cong Sian.“You’re the dealer… deal.”Cong Sian understood his role. He shuffled the cards for quite a while before distributing them.“The game begins,” he said softly, though his gaze toward Bintang was full of contempt.Huang immediately pushed forward all the money Cong Sian had provided—ten million dollars.“Hahaha, let’s make it exciting from the start! Since it’s one round, let’s go all-in!”Suen Ying glanced at his cards briefly, then closed them. Seeing how bad they were, he understood this round required cooperation. In short, Bi

“Young Master, who is he? Why is he so confident about meeting the three Gambling Kings of the Capital? With their temperaments… if he isn’t someone well-known, I’m afraid…”“Anyone may come here. But if they want to interfere with the family’s business, they will have to step over my corpse first. Leave the matters here to me…”*Braaaak!Bintang kicked the door open forcefully.All eyes immediately turned toward him.“B-Brother, please help me… He wants to violate me…” In her weakened state, Anya—unaware that Bintang was standing before her—leapt into his arms.“Haiyaa… So there’s a hero who wants to play the eagle here, is there?” Gambling King Suen Ying slowly raised his head.Bintang did not release Anya. He calmly looked at the three Gambling Kings of the capital of Jiwa Nation.“Can you release this girl?”“Release her? What do you mean? Booking this room and enjoying the beauty of the girl in your arms costs an astronomical amount. If you truly have the ability, why don’t you

King Tian's eyes widened in shock. The moon pendant in the young man's hand was exactly the same as the one shown by the Fire Emperor. For a moment, he stared at Yuan Bei's face. But in the end, he had to accept the reality that his life was now in the hands of the very young man he had been searching for all this time."Y-you...""Your comrades are all dead. How about you join them in the afterlife?!"King Tian shook his head and quickly spoke in a desperate tone."N-no! Didn't you say you would consider sparing me if I told you who ordered me?"Yuan Bei smirked and replied, "What I meant was, I would consider how you die under this flaming sword..."Slaaaaash!"K-King Tian is dead?!""Oh no! This is the first time I've seen a young man kill the strongest King in the Eastern Region... Who is he really?!""Whoever he is, he must have an extraordinary background! Look, King Tian didn't even get to use his full power! But now, he has died like a demonic beast being slaughtered!" The cul

"Looking for the King? Then step over my dead body first!"General Yuan dashed forward with her sword. As she arrived in front of Yuan Bei, the woman immediately thrust her sword forward.However, Yuan Bei did not move an inch from where he stood. Instead, he raised one hand and opened two fingers, pinching the blade between them."I am looking for KING TIAN!"Swooooosh!He unleashed the Dragon Heart Flame, burning the sword trapped between his fingers. Instantly, the black-golden flames spread and began consuming General Yuan’s body. The woman’s eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly tried to let go of her sword’s hilt."It's... it's burning!"She frantically waved her hands, desperately trying to extinguish the flames. But the Dragon Heart Flame could not be put out. Slowly, her eyes remained wide open as she watched her fingers and arms turn to ash."Pl-please help me... this fire won’t go out at all..."Swuuuuuuush!A blood-red shadow flashed through the air, speeding toward the p

Yuan Bei stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with sharp eyes. He then responded to the question in a flat tone."I did it because he made a mistake against me...""A mistake? In this city, I make the rules… Since when does a young cultivator dare to act so recklessly here? And you even dared to injure my son's wrist!"Yuan Bei's face turned red with anger. The hatred and resentment that had consumed him after discovering the mastermind behind the destruction of Cenayang Village only fueled his frustration even more."So, what do you want to do about it?""Break both of your hands and leave this city immediately!""Father, isn't that too lenient?! Wouldn't it be better if you broke both his arms and legs instead?!" Qing Tian's demands became even more outrageous."Hmph! Do you even have the power to do that?"Uninterested in engaging with them, Yuan Bei prepared to use his Qi wings to leave the city. However, before he could take off, Qing Lao suddenly leaped toward him using

"So, do you consider my life as nothing more than a wolf’s stepping stone?"Swuuuuuush!Qing Tian leaped forward. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack, his fist hurtling towards his opponent.Seeing the incoming strike, Yuan Bei casually shifted his body to the side. With ease, he caught Qing Tian’s fist in the palm of his hand.Kraaaaaaack!Qing Tian's eyes widened in shock as he felt the bones in his arm snap when Yuan Bei twisted it clockwise."Y-you broke my arm…" Qing Tian staggered backward, his face turning red with a mix of pain and frustration."Next time, don’t act recklessly if your skills aren’t enough." Yuan Bei spoke coldly before turning away, leaving Qing Tian behind as he made his way toward the grand Information Tower.The surrounding cultivators who had witnessed the brief confrontation murmured among themselves."It wasn’t Qing Tian who was reckless, but that young man… Offending Qing Tian in Black Rain City might bring serious trouble upon him.""True,

Flashback.When Yuan Bei was just five years old, on his birthday, a great tragedy befell his family. A group of people suddenly came and destroyed their modest home.At the same time, both his parents were killed by a technique eerily similar to the one Bai Chen was now using."Bei, what are you thinking?! Your opponent’s technique isn’t ordinary!" Cai Lin quickly reminded Yuan Bei.Snapping out of his thoughts, Yuan Bei realized too late that the lightning attack was already upon him. He hastily created a shield using his fire element.Craaaaack! Boom!Although he managed to block it, the stream of lightning energy kept surging forward. Bai Chen, seeing his opponent struggling to withstand the attack, smirked faintly and said,"Do you think you can stop it? Tch! Why bother watching someone who’s about to die? I’d rather…"He paused mid-sentence and turned around, now gazing passionately at Ling Ying’s figure. Slowly, he began walking toward her, licking his lips as he went.But in t

"Although he was only pushed back a few steps, this was enough to prove that the young man in front of me must have obtained unimaginable fortune. With such terrifying growth, I cannot afford to let him become my enemy in the future!" Bai Chen muttered to himself before quickly dashing toward Yuan Bei, forming a sword of lightning elements from within his body.Observing Bai Chen's movements, Yuan Bei swiftly summoned a sword of flame elements. Instantly, the two elemental swords clashed with each other.The resulting energy fluctuations filled the air, but both combatants pulled back their swords and began engaging in an intense exchange of sword techniques. The graceful yet lethal movements displayed by Yuan Bei left Bai Chen in awe. For a moment, he admired the beauty of Yuan Bei's swordsmanship. However, he quickly snapped out of it, realizing the danger in underestimating his opponent."Damn it, I let myself be mesmerized by his sword technique..." Feeling cornered by Yuan Bei's
