James’ reaction was so swift that it caught Polaris off guard. Polaris froze. By the time he recollected himself, it was already too late. Since his arm was grabbed, he could not dodge James’ attack. He could only raise the other arm and blocked James’ attack forcefully. Boom! Two powerful True Energies collided, and the sound of an explosion reverberated throughout the mountains. At that moment, unable to withstand the blow, Polaris staggered backward. Even the rocks on the ground were shattered into a million tiny pieces. Polaris retreated by about thirty meters before he could finally deflect James’ blow. His arm was numb, unable to exert even a single ounce of strength. The Blood Energy inside his body churned. Though he hurriedly catalyzed True Energy, he could not completely suppress it. Blergh! He vomited a mouthful of blood. Meanwhile, James remained standing at the same spot, unmoving. The crowd fell silent. Before the battle, no one believed James could win. T

Polaris roared. He could not accept such a result. If he had been defeated by Koehler Keyes or even the Vampire clan’s First Blood Emperor, he would have admitted defeat gracefully. However, he was defeated by an impudent brat. Polaris felt humiliated. As he roared, he waved the staff in his hand, which swirled up a powerful force. Then, he struck James’ head with great force. James’ face darkened, and he hurriedly took a few steps back. In an instant, he was a few meters away. Lifting the Blade of Justice, he slashed the sword. The Blade of Justice clashed with the staff. James was above, while Polaris was holding the staff high up to withstand James’ pressure. As James’ force was great, Polaris was slowly being pushed downward. Clack! After descending for a few meters, the staff snapped into two. Polaris was injured by the terrifying Sword Energy that burst forward. Like a stringless kite, he crashed into the ground. Boom! The earth shook. Half of his body was

Since he was injured before, he knew that healing one’s injuries required a great amount of time. Now, however, despite suffering even more serious injuries, this young man from Sol was able to heal them in the blink of an eye. James asked again, “Do you really not know anything about the girl I mentioned earlier?” Polaris took a deep breath to forcibly calm himself down. Then, he looked at James with a serious expression on his face, “I really don’t know who she is. I have never seen her before.” “Impossible… The Archbishop of St. Anne’s Castle told me that you were the one who took them away.” James stared at Polaris. “I didn’t.” Polaris shook his head. “But it’s alright, I’ll help you investigate the matter. Perhaps someone from my sect did it.” Wearing a solemn expression, James said, “She’s really important to me. Not only that, she’s crucial to the current dynamics of Sol. I have to find her as soon as possible. I’ll leave this in your hands then. I’ll be eternally grat

“Curiosity kills the cat,” Thea said coldly. “Sorry for interrupting you.” James turned to leave. After he left, Thea breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and silently muttered under her breath, “Why did you appear all of a sudden? You gave me quite a fright!” James was intrigued by the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect. He also wondered why ancient martial artists loved wearing masks. The Gu Sect, the God-King Palace, the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, and even Callan Maverick wore a mask. He shook his head slightly and put those thoughts aside. Returning to his seat, he continued spectating the battle between martial artists. The battle lasted for two days. Apart from the top ten on the Elysian Ranking, the rest underwent drastic changes. Some seasoned martial artists were defeated, only to be replaced by unfamiliar faces. On the third morning… After a few days of fighting, the clouds were gone, and the snow had stopped. A morning alpenglow flickered warml

Excalibur and the epee clashed. Powerful forces collided, and a ripple-like wave reverberated through the mountains. The entire region was affected by the battle. Mountains collapsed and the earth shook. Many martial artists had retreated from Mount Olympus. Only a few who were confident in their abilities remained. James was among them. Though the ripple effects of the battle were destructive, he was an eighth-rank grandmaster too. He was not affected by it whatsoever. A fierce battle raged on in the sky. Armed with an epee, Lucjan clashed with Koehler who was holding Excalibur in his hand. Even though the epee was duller, it possessed terrifying destructive power. Gradually, Koehler who was holding Excalibur in his hand lost ground. “Die!” Lucjan roared. He appeared behind Koehler at lightning speed, and his epee radiated a hundred lights. Then, the lights converged in an instant, and he swiftly struck Koehler’s back. As Koehler’s reflexes were duller, he was struck by the
