“Your Majesty, for your sake, I’ll give Arnold Vance two choices.”

Kevin Thales’s gaze sharpened. “Speak.”

Kael Draven held his anger down by sheer will. No matter how furious he felt, Kevin Thales was still the Emperor of the Thunder Royal Family. If he pushed back too hard now, he wouldn’t be the only one paying the price—the entire Draven Clan could suffer for it.

So he swallowed the rage burning in his chest.

“The first choice,” Kael Draven said, voice flat, “Arnold Vance cuts off both his arms. The second—one month from now, he and I fight in a life‑and‑death duel.”

“I accept.”

Arnold Vance didn’t hesitate. The words left Kael Draven’s mouth, and he agreed instantly. Even though he was torn up by the Thunder Tribulation and needed at least three months to recover, he knew refusing was worse. If Kevin Thales chose to abandon him here, that would be the end of him.

He didn’t dare gamble on the Emperor’s mood.

“Good,” Kevin Thales said with a thin smile. “One month from now, the two

    The Starcloud Royal Family had gone through yet another upheaval. The old Vance dynasty was gone, replaced by the newly crowned Stormveil family. People were still getting used to it, though most only grumbled in private.Starcloud City now had five major families standing side by side: the fifth‑level Draven family, the Sterling family, the Hawthorne family, the Duskbane family, and—ironically—the Vance family, who had just lost the throne.Out of the five, only the Dravens and the Vances seemed fine with the change. The other three? Sterling, Hawthorne, and Duskbane were furious, but they swallowed every complaint the moment Kael Draven’s name came up. No one wanted to poke that hornet’s nest.Inside the royal palace’s main hall, tension hung thick in the air. Halvor Stormveil stood there, stiff as a board.Even though the Stormveil family had clawed their way into the royal court, Halvor Stormveil hadn’t taken the throne. That honor went to Jameson Stormveil—Aria Stormveil’s father

  • Chapter 177: Entering the Royal Family

    Kael Draven moved before Christian Vance or Arnold Vance could even finish a word.As a Transformation cultivator, his strength spoke for itself.Arnold Vance’s eyes went wide as he watched Kael Draven dash toward Christian Vance. At this point, there was no turning back—avoiding the fight wasn’t even an option anymore.With a grunt, Arnold Vance leaped forward as well. In an instant, the two collided violently, exchanging over ten rounds of attacks in the blink of an eye, neither gaining the upper hand.“First-stage Transformation?”Arnold Vance’s mind raced. He had assumed that someone who could kill John Barnes with a single kick had to be second-stage. But no… Kael Draven was only first-stage.And the difference? Enormous.“Hahaha! So you’ve only just broken through first-stage Transformation, Kael Draven? Let’s see what makes you so arrogant.”Confidence surged in Arnold Vance. Same stage, yes—but he felt certain he could win this fight.Kael Draven gave a cold snort and let the

  • Chapter 176: You All Will Die

    Arnold Vance had always been afraid of Kael Draven—far more than he ever dared admit. The fear sat deep, a quiet shadow he could never shake.Because the truth was simple: with Kael Draven’s monstrous talent, three years was more than enough for the kid to surpass him completely. And when that day comes? It wouldn’t just be him who fell. The entire Starcloud royal family would be dragged down with him.“The Thunder royal family has washed their hands of this,” Arnold Vance said, voice low and heavy. “So we have to kill Kael Draven as fast as possible. If we don’t, we’re done.”“Ancestor,” Christian Vance cut in, looking like he’d swallowed a stone, “our intel says Kael Draven showed up in Flame City… and he kicked John Barnes to death. Literally one kick.”“John Barnes?”For a second, Arnold Vance didn’t even react. Then the meaning hit him, and his face twisted, eyes going wide.“That’s impossible! Completely impossible! Forget Kael Draven—even I can’t beat John Barnes!”Christian Va

    Flame CityThey had been drinking all night. For warriors like them, alcohol barely touched their senses—but they hadn’t pushed each other. Yet somehow, by dawn, they were a complete mess. Utterly drunk.For Kael Draven, it was unprecedented. Since birth, he’d never known the dulling weight of alcohol. This… this was something entirely new. Maybe the first and only time he’d ever feel it.Ever since obtaining the Dragon Seal, his life had flipped upside down. Without it? He’d still be a nobody in the Draven family of Emberfall Town—a shadow, ignored by everyone.And yet, in just a few months, he had stared death in the face more times than most could imagine. Outsiders saw only his miraculous cultivation speed, but they didn’t know the truth: every ounce of his power had been carved from life-and-death trials.Morning came.After sending Garth Caiden and Ella Conway on their way, Kael Draven began packing to leave Flame City, heading back to Emberfall Town first.Before confronting th

    “Brother Draven, with how fast you’ve shot up in strength… it won’t just be the Six Great Sects keeping an eye on you. Liam Swift will come knocking too.”Kael Draven raised an eyebrow. “Him? Why?”Honestly, by logic, he should be the one challenging Liam Swift—not the other way around.Garth Caiden leaned in a little, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret. “Brother Draven, you might not know his reputation, but Liam Swift is… well, a lunatic for battle. The man lives for it. Even though he knows Raven Mordred completely outclasses him, he still refuses to back down. Three years straight—one challenge every single month. He hasn't missed once.”A battle maniac. Kael Draven had heard plenty of strange things, but this was something else. And the gap between the Human King realm and the Transformation Realm was nothing small—it was like staring across a bottomless abyss.Garth Caiden waved the matter off. “Anyway, that’s something for later. What matters now is this: even though you

    The restaurant was luxurious, but quiet. Just the soft clink of glasses and the occasional shuffle of waiters moving about.Kael Draven returned, and Ella Conway’s curiosity practically spilled out. “Brother Draven… what happened?”Kael Draven didn’t hold back. They were real friends, after all.“The Young Sect Master of the Flame Sect, Daze Calder, and the Young Sect Master of the Thunder Sect, Jack Holden… they came to see me.”Daze Calder? Jack Holden?Flame Sect? Thunder Sect?Both Garth Caiden and Ella Conway’s expressions flickered for a moment, surprise crossing their faces. But just as quickly, they relaxed. Honestly, it wasn’t shocking. Anyone with Kael Draven’s talent and potential would inevitably draw the attention of the Six Great Sects.Garth Caiden nodded. “Brother Draven… just killing John Barnes would’ve drawn attention, but with all your other accomplishments? No wonder the Six Great Sects noticed you. Still… I didn’t expect the Young Sect Masters of both the Flame a
