The air outside Seven Oaks Apothecary was thick with tension, firelight, and the stench of gasoline. Jack stood alone on the cracked stone steps, his muscles coiled, his eyes locked on Lucas Carter. For a moment, it looked like the city itself had paused—waiting to see if the defiant man in black would be crushed under the boot of power, or somehow survive the impossible.

Frank Rolex stood behind him, bruised, tired, and hollow-eyed after Tommy’s execution. Around them, the security lines bristled—Sentinel soldiers armed to the teeth, underground enforcers grinning with cruel anticipation.

Lucas took one step forward, cocky and smug. “Last chance, Sullivan. Drop to your knees and maybe I’ll make your execution quick.”

Jack didn't blink. “You’ve talked more than you’ve fought. You sure you're not just trying to convince yourself?”

The soldiers laughed. Lucas’s grin twitched. “You’re not gonna be smiling when I—”

BOOM.

A shockwave rolled across the street as dozens of black military tra

    Victor Hunter struggled to his feet from the rubble, blood streaming from multiple wounds. His legendary green robes were torn and stained, but his eyes still burned with defiant pride."Master, perhaps it's time to consider retreat," Billy Carter suggested nervously from the sidelines."Are you insane?" William Smith whispered to his bodyguards. "Victor Hunter has never retreated from anything in his life!""But look at him," Charles Chang replied quietly. "He's clearly outmatched. Maybe he should admit defeat before this gets worse.""Victor Hunter doesn't know the meaning of surrender," Steven Harris shook his head. "His pride will never allow it."Victor Hunter wiped blood from his mouth and glared at Jack Sullivan. "Jack Sullivan! I underestimated you! But this fight is far from over!"Jack Sullivan stood calmly in the crater he had created, his golden aura still radiating power. "If you kill yourself now, I'll leave your body whole."The entire clearing erupted in gasps of shock

    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

    Jack Sullivan stood outside Snow Villa Resort, his entire being radiating power that made the very air shimmer around him. His transformation was complete—skin like polished snow, golden blood flowing beneath the surface, and eyes that burned with inner fire. He looked less like a man and more like a warrior from ancient legends.As he prepared to leave for Snow Forest, his phone buzzed with a call from Rose."Boss, I have a fighter jet on standby," Rose reported urgently. "We can eliminate Victor Hunter from the air before he even knows what hit him.""No," Jack Sullivan replied firmly. "This is personal. I'll kill Victor Hunter with my own hands.""But sir, he's extremely dangerous. The risk—""Victor Hunter made this personal when he touched Anna Young," Jack interrupted. "Some debts can only be paid in blood."In Snow Forest, the assembled crowd had grown increasingly restless after ten days of waiting. Victor Hunter remained perched in his tree, surrounded by his energy swallows,

    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

    In the snowy clearing, Victor Hunter remained perched atop his tree, his magical swallows circling lazily around him. The assembled crowd of wealthy spectators and their martial arts masters watched in tense silence.William Smith, a portly businessman from one of North Harbor's influential families, grew increasingly impatient as the minutes ticked by. Finally, he couldn't contain himself any longer."This is ridiculous!" William declared loudly. "How long are we supposed to wait here? It's been over an hour!"His voice carried across the clearing, drawing everyone's attention. Several other spectators nodded in agreement, though they were careful not to voice their complaints as boldly."Maybe this Jack Sullivan is too scared to show up," William continued mockingly. "All this buildup for nothing! What a coward!"The temperature in the clearing seemed to drop several degrees as Victor Hunter's cold gaze fixed on William Smith."What did you say?" Victor Hunter's voice was quiet, but

    The resort staff quickly provided snow sleds for Tony Zhang's group, their faces grim as they prepared the equipment."Are you absolutely sure about this?" the manager asked nervously. "Snow Forest is extremely dangerous today.""We'll be fine," Tony Zhang said confidently. "We're just going to observe from a safe distance."As they prepared to leave, Old Man James approached their group. "Mind if I join you? I have my own reasons for wanting to witness this.""Of course," Lisa Johnson said politely, though she was still uncomfortable with the entire situation.The group set off on their sleds, following winding paths through the snow-covered forest. After twenty minutes of travel, they crested a hill and saw an extraordinary sight.In the center of a large clearing sat Victor Hunter, perched impossibly at the top of a massive pine tree. Despite the freezing temperature, he seemed completely comfortable, wearing only his green robes. Around him, dozens of ethereal swallows made of con
