2026-05-15 16:32:14Aji left the Black Lion school. He walked away, his first mission accomplished, and he walked leisurely. Twenty years had passed just like that. The sun was shining brightly now, nearing midday. Aji stared at the bright sun and walked back until he reached the sign outside the Black Lion school. The Black Lion gate was also destroyed. Before entering, Aji had already defeated hundreds of external disciples with his devastating blow.
A figure leaned back, as if waiting for him. He carried two swords behind his back. He was a martial artist. He was also around 25 years old, and he... Aji simply passed him, "Let's go, Aaman."
Aji passed the man named Aaman. Aaman stood up straight and half-hurriedly followed Aji's steps.
"I can't believe it, a second-rate school, the Black Lion, was destroyed in just half a day! Is this your power, sir? The power that has long been lost. First Thunder. I'm sorry, sir, but now I believe in you."
Aaman followed Aji, a young man he had just met on the way,y while he was eating. At that time, a group of disciples from the Black Lion were extorting and even threatening the tavern owner for a high tribute. The owner was unable to resist and was beaten. Aaman didn't help, wanting to play it safe, as the Black Lion sect was protected by the Golden Crane sect, one of the three largest sects on the Orpris Continent.
However, the young man stopped the group of thugs, defeating them with a single blow and throwing them away.
The young man claimed to be Aji Bagaskara, though his name was never known. However, his nickname was Lightning Punch. Aaman initially didn't believe the young man's words, and he wanted to destroy the Black Lion sect on the spot.
Aji said the sect was once a loyal follower of Lord Demon. To this day, the Black Lion sect has always caused trouble because Aaman is part of the intercontinental intelligence service and is a noble from the Emerald Continent.
Aaman was assigned to investigate the crimes of the Black Lion sect, but this time, he learned something new: the sect was destroyed in just a few hours. Regarding the name "Thunder Strike" itself, everyone across the continent surely knows the story of the old man who devoted his entire life, including his old age, to good deeds and the study of his thunder strike. He was known as the "Legend of the Thunder Strike." He was even known to be able to destroy an entire city with his full power with a single punch.
Aaman was initially skeptical, but Aji explained that he had just emerged from his training after the war 20 years ago, along with his two comrades, to face the thousands of Demon Lords who were about to take over the martial arts world. Aji also realized that 20 years had passed since then.
However, what was strange was how a young man in his 25s could claim to be a legendary hero who had saved the martial arts world. Shouldn't he be nearly 100 years old?
Aaman was still confused, but now he believed that the young man beside him was someone with immense internal power.
Watching him fight all the disciples of the Black Lion sect, he believed that perhaps he truly was that legend. He didn't know what had happened to him, and Aaman didn't dare say anything more. "Lord Lightning Striker... can we talk about something? I'm still confused by your youthful condition."
Aji Bagaskara paused for a moment and looked at Aaman. Aaman was a little afraid, afraid that this might offend a great warrior who wielded immense power.
"You are the first person I've met after my long training. It's taking a long time to tell you. I don't know where to begin; there are so many things I don't know after 20 years. I hope you can share the details."
Aaman calmed down, and they resumed their walk, discussing developments in the martial arts world. Aaman explained as they walked, heading towards the central capital, Yanaman, the central capital of the continent of Orpris.
The continent of Orpris was the first continent to become the headquarters of the alliance of all martial arts continents, maintaining peace across the continents. The current leader of the alliance is Dasatama, known as the God of War. He is a warrior recognized worldwide for his strength. He can defeat enemies with his strength even when facing thousands of opponents.
"Soon, there will be a selection process to recruit Heavenly Troops from across the continent. They will be the core force tasked with maintaining peace across the continent. The greatest threat, especially the Demon Lord's forces, could attack again to take over the martial arts world."
"Heavenly Troops?" Aji began to think deeply about the Heavenly Troops. Would joining them allow him to convince the world and unite the martial arts world?
"By joining the Heavenly Troops? Will we be able to access all martial arts schools and meet all the warriors?"
"You're right, sir. The selection process will select those with light-based powers, and of course, all warriors from the white school, to be able to ward off the dark forces."
Aaman's explanation made Aji understand one thing. The threat of the Demon Lord and the dark forces still loomed, which is why the martial arts alliance formed the Heavenly Troops.
The world is divided into several energy elements. When someone uses their energy, it is seen as using light or dark energy through their energy. Light energy is obtained through pure, life-saving training. Meanwhile, demonic or dark forces use sacrifices, black magic, and deviant paths to strengthen their power.
"Aaman, give me all the information regarding the Heavenly Troops' preparations. I will participate in the selection process. Help me restore peace and prepare to fight against the Demon Lord once again."
"Yes, sir."
They continued walking. "And one more thing," Aji paused, startling Aaman. "From now on, keep my identity a secret. My name is Aji. Don't call me sir, or even Lightning Striker. And, we are good friends, Aaman."
Aaman nodded in understanding. "Yes, sir, eh, Aji. I will guard this secret to the death."
Aaman was prepared to assist the legend. He was an intelligence officer from the entire alliance of warriors. He also had a mission to maintain peace.
They both smiled at the setting sun; it was nearing evening. They continued their journey, gathering supplies and catching a ride to get there faster.
And... their adventure had begun.

Moreover, she was one of the granddaughters of the legendary Ganada. Any man who was a warrior of the white sect would surely want to make Barsha his wife.Ah! Of course, it was like a pipe dream for most warriors. They could only gaze at Barsha from afar.Barsha advanced w
11. Two Siblings, Lao and Gayatri
A woman stepped forward and took her turn. She wore a hood and covered her hair. Her eyes were sharp and green.The woman stepped forward and approached the steel box. All eyes were on her, as only a few women had passed the previous test."Gayatri, my little sister, you can do it. You just need to focus," a man's voice from the line behind her reminded her.They had come, two siblings. The older brother was Lao, and the younger was Gayatri. Both were the hope of the village of Grayle. A remote village rarely sees many people. However, as soon as they heard there were recruits for the Heavenly Army, they came to take the test.First, Gayatri had asked permission from Chief Yarko. As she prepared, Gayatri focused her strength and prepared to inflict damage on the steel box.Initially, Gayatri used her bare hands, raising her right and left hands from each side. Her fingers were open and gripped upward. A thin burst of energy could be seen enveloping Gayatri's body.From the line of par
10. The Difficult First Test
"Who else wants to try and fail?!"Yarko's voice seemed to belittle and even challenge those who wanted to enter the Heavenly Legion. He wanted them to understand that this simple test wasn't as easy as they thought.Yarko was confident in his friend Gonan's abilities. An 8th-level mage was among the highest-ranking mages on the entire continent. Only a handful would pass this first stage of the test.All the participants were now lining up, as if not wanting to get ahead of anyone. However, they wanted to see how others would advance and figure out the best way to scratch the steel box.The line was long, and the first stage of the test was incredibly fast. Even though 1,000 people had advanced, not a single one had passed. Was this really the first-level test? In fact, no one had passed yet! And no one had even scratched the steel box.Some of their weapons had even shattered before they even touched the steel box.Yarko shook his head several times, feeling that the current generat
9. Advanced Protective Magic
"You're lucky this time, at least I still can't trust my cousin, Aaman," Barsha said, lowering her hands again. Barsha turned her gaze forward, where the grand stage for the Heavenly Troops exam was about to begin.Aji simply smiled and didn't respond. He had met many people over the years, and there were already too many who only boasted at the beginning. Back then, he was a legend; even the mere mention of the name "Pekul Lightning" would make many tremble. It was good to be in a young body like this, Aji felt.Perhaps not knowing him was one of his strengths now. Back then, he was always proud of his name, but now he seemed like an ordinary person. And that was quite pleasant.Aji looked at Barsha from behind. Aji smiled slightly. The granddaughter of his best friend was indeed not much different from his old friend, Ganada. Her temperament was always fierce, but they would become good friends if they could match each other in battle.The woman's body was perfect, certainly capable

Prisma City was bustling. Today was the day the Celestial Troops exam would be held. The large, open-air field where the exams would be held was in the city square. The area was spacious and surrounded by spectator platforms that encircled the square. Everyone could watch by sitting around the square. There were also tall buildings above the viewing platforms, tall buildings with open spaces.The tall buildings surrounding the square were usually used by influential figures or nobles, or even important guests from other continents.This was an important day.The day the exams for the Celestial Troops, which would be formed to ensure peace in the martial arts world across the continent, began.
