Matthias could feel Xayne's icy gaze fixed on him. He did not dare to lift his head, bowing repeatedly—more than ten times—until Xayne's footsteps faded into the distance.Only then did Matthias raise his head, his eyes filled with cold malice as he glared at Xayne's retreating figure, gritting his teeth in silence."Matthias, it seems... no one can deal with him in the short term," Dr. Lenny said as he stepped out from the crowd and approached Matthias. With both hands, he helped the elder to his feet.Throughout the entire ordeal, Dr. Lenny had kept himself hidden, too afraid to reveal his presence lest Xayne notice him. It was only after Xayne had left that Dr. Lenny dared to emerge."Hmph! Send someone to handle Alfonso's corpse. Have his remains sent back to Heavenly Peak!" Matthias ordered coldly, his face ashen."Yes!" Dr. Lenny responded quickly, instructing his disciples to collect Alfonso's body.Back at the villa, the Grand Elder stomped his foot in frustration as he c

At first, Serena felt completely lost in the conversation. But the more she listened, the wider her eyes grew.Even though she was still somewhat confused, she managed to grasp about thirty percent of what was being explained.The moment Xayne raised his arm and waved lightly, a flash of white light streaked across the room. At the same time, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky. Serena was left utterly stunned by the spectacle. "You did this by manipulating your magnetic field?!" Serena stared at Xayne in disbelief."Yes. In the beginning, your control over your magnetic field is weak, so you can't achieve it. Besides, you'll need to amplify the energy of your magnetic field using formations to create results like this." As he spoke, Xayne explained the principles of the "Three Absolute Formations" to Serena in detail.After Xayne's explanation, Serena felt a glimmer of understanding.Serena had an extraordinary talent for grasping the complexities of formations.

Esmond's mention of Divine Commanders was not just about their cultivation level. It referred to figures like Xayne, the late Alfonso, and Klink—individuals who combined martial arts and formations to wield the true might of a Divine Commander.The fact that three such figures had been instantly killed spoke volumes.One or two could be dismissed as flukes. But three? That was an overwhelming strength."Oh?" Xayne squinted as if he were scrutinizing Esmond.Esmond, seeing Xayne’s curiosity, continued, "These three—if Xander were still alive, he would have known them. One was Elon, another was Issak. The last one was Ezra—a man who, seventy years ago, stood at the pinnacle of Drakonia."He paused before explaining further, "All three met their end after offending the Valiant Union. Each had killed several members of the alliance, but their downfall came when Ezra killed the Union's deputy leader. That act sealed their fates. Within three days, their corpses were displayed outside the

Given Onyx's age, even kneeling at the gates of Heavenly Peak's grand hall for days would hardly gain him entry."Of course. The relationship between the Christy family and Heavenly Peak is well-known to you, Onyx. If the patriarch allows, Heavenly Peak will undoubtedly grant this favor to the Christy family. A mere trifle for such an opportunity—what do you say?" Elijah smiled as he posed the question."Fine! Trading Xayne's life for a Heavenly Peak invitation is worth it!" Onyx declared, his voice booming with unshakable resolve. "Convey to the Christy family's patriarch that for the sake of my bond with Alfonso, I will avenge his death!"Elijah cast a cold glance at Onyx. Without the Heavenly Peak invitation as leverage, Onyx would never have meddled in this matter.Even though he thought about this, Elijah's expression remained composed. He smiled faintly as he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you in advance, Onyx. On behalf of the Christy family, I express my gratitude!"Wi

At this moment, Xayne was teaching Serena some simple formations.After a few days of practice, Serena had already mastered incorporating basic formations into her combat techniques.In terms of combat strength, she was now comparable to a one-star commander."I never imagined formations could be this powerful!" Serena exclaimed after throwing another punch, deeply impressed."Formations are essentially amplifiers of force. They reduce air resistance, allowing each punch to deliver greater power and inflict more damage," Xayne explained.Just then, Esmond appeared at the entrance of the back garden and gestured for Xayne to come over.Noticing the unusual expression on Esmond, Xayne hesitated for a moment before saying to Serena, "Serena, keep practicing. I'll be back shortly."With that, Xayne walked to the entrance and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?""Master, look at this," Esmond replied, handing him an invitation. "It's from the Kickboxing Alliance. They claim it's
