In the ruins of the Watson mansion, Jack Sullivan sat in perfect meditation, feeling the incredible power coursing through his transformed body. But he wasn't satisfied yet."The fighting body is complete," he murmured to himself, "but now comes the real challenge."Jack Sullivan began the process of breaking through to the Pulse Realm—but not in the ordinary way. Most martial artists who achieved this level opened three to five meridian channels. Victor Hunter, considered a genius, had opened six. But Jack Sullivan aimed for something that existed only in ancient legends."Eight meridians," he whispered. "The complete celestial formation."The process would take several days of intense cultivation, but if successful, it would grant him power beyond anything the martial world had ever seen.Back in Snow Forest, the crowd of spectators had grown restless after days of waiting. The wealthy families and their martial masters remained in their positions, afraid to leave but increasingly f

The clearing buzzed with whispered conversations as the assembled masters tried to process what they had just witnessed."Did you see that technique?" Charles Chang murmured to Steven Harris, his voice filled with disbelief. "Thirteen kicks in less than three seconds, and seven of them connected with Victor Hunter!""More importantly," Steven replied, wiping sweat from his brow, "he's clearly in the early stage of Pulse Realm. Most fighters at that level would be crushed instantly by Victor Hunter.""Yet he's not just surviving," Charles observed. "He's actually hurting Victor Hunter. I've never seen anything like it."Chairman Wilson turned to his bodyguards nervously. "How is this possible? Victor Hunter has been undefeated for decades!""Sir," one of his Pulse masters replied shakily, "this Jack Sullivan isn't normal. His foundation must be extraordinary."Victor Hunter wiped the blood from his mouth, his casual demeanor completely gone. "I see I've been playing with you, boy. Time

Victor Hunter knelt in the bloodstained snow, his body trembling as he began the process that would end his legendary career forever. With grim determination, he started severing his own meridian channels one by one."Master, no!" several voices cried out from the crowd, but it was too late.Victor Hunter's powerful energy began dissipating, transforming into thousands of icy swallows that fluttered around him briefly before dissolving like snowflakes in the winter air. His life force, built up over decades of cultivation, scattered to the winds in moments.With a final shuddering breath, Victor Hunter collapsed face-first into the snow. The legendary leader of the Green Gang was dead.Jack Sullivan looked down at the corpse without emotion, then turned to William Smith, who was standing frozen in terror nearby."You," Jack Sullivan commanded. "Bury him."William Smith's face went pale. "Me? But I... I don't...""Did I stutter?" Jack Sullivan's voice carried deadly authority. "Bury Vi

The Silver Mall Building sparkled with luxury as Jack Sullivan and Anna Young stepped through its gleaming entrance. The massive shopping center was filled with high-end boutiques and designer stores that catered to the wealthy elite of Silver Plains City."Jack, this place is incredible!" Anna Young whispered, looking around in amazement. "Everything here must cost a fortune!""Buy whatever catches your eye," Jack Sullivan said warmly. "Don't worry about the price."Anna Young laughed and shook her head. "You're so generous, but I'm not planning to spend much. Maybe two hundred yuan at most.""Two hundred yuan?" Jack Sullivan smiled. "Anna, I could buy this entire building for you if you wanted it.""Don't be silly!" Anna giggled. "Who would want to own a whole shopping mall?"As they began browsing the stores, Jack Sullivan discretely approached a well-dressed shopping assistant."Excuse me," he said quietly, pulling the woman aside. "I need your help with something.""Of course, si

Jack Sullivan stood calmly in the aftermath of the confrontation, watching as Louise Sullivan writhed on the marble floor, still screaming from the acid burns. Anna Young stayed close to his side, her hand gripping his arm as they waited to see what would happen next.Thirty minutes later, the sound of screeching tires and slamming doors echoed from outside the mall. Heavy footsteps thundered through the entrance as a group of men in dark suits stormed into the building."Seal off the entire mall!" commanded a harsh voice. "No one gets in or out until I say so!"The man leading the group was clearly Louise Sullivan's father—they shared the same cruel eyes and arrogant bearing. Louis Williams was a heavyset man in his fifties, wearing an expensive suit that couldn't hide his thuggish nature."Where is she?" Louis Williams demanded, his voice echoing through the shopping center. "Where's my daughter?"When his eyes fell on Louise Sullivan's acid-burned face, his expression turned murder
