Gunnar left the hall and was heading home.Along the way, he saw the crowd gathering at the training center.He went over and was surprised to see his brother and sister dueling.Dahlia used a real sword to attack, but Lexar was blocking all her attacks.“You’re calling Petal Step, but it isn’t delicate at all,” Lexar said. “Isn’t Flower Sword Arts supposed to be exquisite to look at? But why are your techniques so unrefined? Are you really practicing hard in your sect? What was Ivan doing?”“I pushed back wild buffaloes with my sword technique,” Dahlia said while relentlessly attacking with continuous short thrusts. “Bud Cut!”“I see that you’re aiming at my tendons where the flow of the aura is weak,” Lexar said while jumping around and dodging and deflecting her attacks. “But what’s the point of it all if you can’t land one strike properly?”“Shut up!” Dahlia got angry and jumped forth before swinging her sword twice in two different paths. “Blooming Cross!”Two intersecting slashe

Many families lived in the fist clan, with the Fustil family at the top. Some families left the clan, some joined the clan, and some stayed in the clan for a long time.The Bee family was also one of the families that was part of the clan for a long, long time.And their family was known for their unique fighting style called Bee Arts that allowed them to sting like a bee with their punches.A proper Bee Fist could put a whole through a tree.The members of the Bee family looked chubby like bees, with more of their body fat focused on their bottoms, but they could still move well due to the Bee Arts, especially using the Buzz Step: a footwork technique that used tiny rapid steps to constantly change angles, making it difficult for others to predict.Despite how Donny looked, he used Storm Step to swiftly cover the distance, and then he concentrated aura into the first two knuckles, allowing his punch to pierce flesh more easily. “Stinger Knuckle!”Alysse was ready, but she barely reac

“What?” Joss’ face scrunched. He raised his hand and grabbed Gunnar’s shirt. “Are you messing with me? Do you know who I am?”“I met you when you came here a few days back,” Gunnar said. “You don’t remember me?”Joss’ expression slowly changed as he remembered Gunnar being the one who blocked his Seven Stride Strike from reaching the old guard Hector. “Ah, you’re the third young master of the clan. It is because of your foolishness that the fist clan had to suffer at the hands of the woodwork clan.”Gunnar’s jaw tightened a bit. “My foolishness?”“Yeah. After I went back, I read the documents in my office,” Joss said. “You disappeared over three years back. Your father thought you were kidnapped by the woodwork clan. I’m sure someone led him to believe that. It was a bit, but he still willingly rushed into the woodwork clan’s territory to save you. But from what I read, you were never found there. Your father got defeated, then humiliated before he got sent back home. I believe that y

Joss wrote a letter, signed it and then stamped it with a seal. “Trainee exams happen every three months. The next one is happening soon, so take this to the nearest association branch, and they will tell you what to do.”Randy slightly bowed. “Thank you so much for this opportunity, sir.” He got a bit emotional and even lightly hugged Joss.“You haven’t become a trainee yet, so give it your all in the exam,” Joss said. “Only success will earn you respect.”“Yes,” Randy then happily went home.When he shared the news with his mother, she didn’t believe it. He showed the letter, but she thought it was fake and nearly tore it to pieces.Randy promised her that the letter was real.Even so, his mother didn’t believe him.The mood in their house wasn’t good because Barek returned with grave injuries and was being treated at Cobbo’s quarters.Randy also showed the letter to his brother Edward.Edward then set out to get a letter for himself. He met Joss and asked to test him as well. Howev

Joss returned to Cobbo’s quarters. And he crossed paths with Jiro at the gate.Both of them looked at each other for a moment.Joss didn’t like the cold look Jiro got on his face.“Are all the people in the clan like this?” Joss sighed. “Because they’re situated too far in the south, they don’t know how great it is to become an official of the martial association. If I was stationed somewhere not so remote, I would have been treated with great respect.”He then went and checked on Alysse who was still unconscious.He grabbed her wrist and checked her pulse. “Mm… her heartbeat is steadying. The treatment is working. For a fifth-grade clan, they’ve got not one but two capable healers.”Just then, a slender man with a wiry physique entered the backyard. He had a twisted scar on his right cheek.He came straight to Joss.“How long are you planning to stay here?” he asked Joss.“Who are you?” Joss asked back.“Captain of guards. Jack Spiner,” he replied. His voice was neither friendly nor
