Chapter 38: The Warhammer Fist
Mira Voss moved like a blade thrown through the air.Her body cut sideways, then forward, then around Alaric’s flank. Her footwork was fast enough to blur, unpredictable enough to make the platform feel too small to contain her.She struck again.Five fingers pressed tight, her nails hardened into something closer to steel than bone.The thrust came from a twisted angle, aimed at Alaric’s ribs, sharp enough to pierce straight through muscle.A direct hit would have been fatal.But Alaric didn’t flinch.His body reacted before thought could catch up. The instincts carved into him through relentless training woke instantly, locking onto her movement like a predator tracking prey.He turned.His arm surged with force.His fingers curled like a claw.And he caught her wrist mid-thrust.The entire platform seemed to freeze.Mira’s eyes widened.She tried to yank back, but her arm refused to move. It felt like her wrist had been trapped inside a steel clamp.The spectators stared, stunned.
Chapter 37: The Grip That Drew First Blood
Rowen Ashford’s hand closed around Alaric Vale’s like a trap.For half a second, it felt like a normal greeting.Then the pressure hit.Rowen’s thick fingers tightened with brutal force. The muscles beneath his skin rose sharply, and the veins along his wrist bulged as if his entire arm had turned into hardened steel. The air around them seemed to thicken, heavy with dominance.Behind him, several Taihe fighters watched with quiet amusement.They were waiting for the newcomer to crack.Alaric did not even blink.He kept smiling, calm and respectful, as if Rowen’s crushing grip was nothing more than friendly enthusiasm.Then Alaric’s palm tightened.Not slowly.Instantly.The strength inside him woke up like a beast stretching its claws. His fingers locked around Rowen’s hand with controlled force, matching the pressure without trembling.The smiles behind Rowen faded.Rowen’s gaze sharpened.He had tested countless fighters this way, and he could tell immediately.This was not a lucky
Chapter 36.Clash Before the Summit
Stormpine Martial Hall, rear courtyard.A redwood tea table sat beneath the fading afternoon sun. Steam curled from the teapot in Master Rowan Whitestone’s hands as he poured three cups with practiced calm.Lucian Stormwind, Morrin Loxvale, and Alaric Vale sat with him, the air thick with quiet tension.“The Lunarglow Martial Summit is about to begin,” Master Rowan said after finishing his tea in one swallow. “It is held once every three years. Though it is called an exchange meeting, every major force in the southern region watches it closely. Each summit produces Ten Elites who rise to fame overnight.”His gaze drifted briefly to the empty seat beside him, as if remembering someone no longer here.“Two summits ago, your Senior Disciple went with me. His performance paved the way for his future in the Titan Vanguard Legion. At the last summit, Lucian accompanied me. This time, I will bring Alaric.”He looked at them in turn.“By tradition, the Senior Disciples must evaluate the one w
Chapter 35 Whispers Before the Storm
The knock came again.Not loud.Not rushed.But heavy.Like something tapping from the other side of a grave.Doom. Doom. Doom.Gulade rose from the leather sofa and straightened his suit. His movements were controlled, but his eyes had sharpened into something predatory.“Come in.”The office door creaked open.A pale subordinate stepped inside, breathing uneven, as if he’d run through a nightmare.Director Pete stood instantly.The moment he saw the man’s face, his stomach tightened.He seized his arm.“Fritz. Speak.”Fritz swallowed hard.“Gentlemen… the situation is bad.”The room went silent.Fritz forced the words out.“Our scouts report that No. 22 Silvercrest Road has been surrounded by Stormpine Martial Hall. Master Rowan Whitestone and Lucian Stormwind personally led their forces there.”Director Pete’s eyes widened.“And the three fighters?”Fritz hesitated.That pause felt like a knife.“We still have no confirmation… but no one saw them leave No. 22 Silvercrest Road.”His
Chapter 34: Blood-Mad Beast
KRRK! KRRK!!Alaric Vale’s fingers tightened.The dagger embedded in his palm scraped against bone, tearing deeper with every movement. Blood streamed down his wrist and splattered onto the floor.But he didn’t even blink.A crooked smile stayed on his lips.Blu stared at him, breath uneven. The expression in Alaric’s eyes wasn’t just hatred for his enemies.It was something worse.It was ruthless contempt for pain itself.The next second, Alaric’s bloodforce surged violently.His arm expanded, swelling like a beast’s limb. The muscle shifted, almost unnatural, soft for a heartbeat, then snapping into hardened density.Like iron forged in an instant.Blu’s body was yanked off the ground.And then Alaric swung him.Fast rushed in from the side, twin blades flashing.But the moment he realized Blu was being used like a living shield, the madness in his eyes faltered.He halted.He twisted away.SHRRRRAAAK!!A blade of wind tore past his head.KABOOOM!!Blu slammed into the floor with br
Chapter 33 Trap in the Dark
“Fast, don’t underestimate your opponent. Alaric Vale is very capable. He is famous within Highsea Province now, and he nearly ruined the director’s major plans.”The man who had trained using the water vat spoke calmly.Milok’s eyes were steady.Fast scoffed, rolling his shoulders.“Capable? Milok, you’re wrong. In the end, it’s still those useless fools from the trading firms. They were given so many resources, yet they still failed. A bunch of fat drunkards.”Blu, holding twin swords, sneered.“If it weren’t inconvenient for us to act openly, how could martial halls in a tiny province dare act arrogant?”Milok’s gaze remained cold.“The director ordered all three of us to move together to ensure nothing goes wrong. If the Titan Vanguard Legion finds evidence, the higher-ups will not be able to handle it. Caution matters more than pride.”Fast’s mouth curled into a grin.“Fine. At least there’s something to do. I’ve been idle so long my body is rusting.”He cracked his neck.“I only
