Jack rushed to the old lane, his heart beating rapidly. Memories flooded back—the same alley where he once lived on scraps, where Ruby Young had saved him from a desperate life.

The street was dimly lit, lined with torn tents and makeshift shelters. The air smelled of poverty, dirt, and struggle. Jack scanned the area, anger building with each step.

A fragile figure approached slowly from a distance, carrying a small, battered basket. She bent over a dustbin, carefully retrieving a few discarded herbs and a stale bread crust.

Ruby...?

He stepped closer, his voice tight with emotion. "Ruby?"

She froze, slowly turning to face him. Her eyes widened in shock, lips trembling. "Jack...? Is that you?"

Jack approached quickly, his heart aching at the sight. Ruby Young—once graceful, kind, and strong—now stood before him, worn down by life's hardships, yet her gentle beauty still shone through the grime and poverty.

"Ruby," Jack repeated softly, taking the basket from her trembling hands. "Why

    Across the province, martial arts schools and underground organizations buzzed with frantic conversations about the young warrior who had humiliated Victor Hunter to death."Have you heard about this Jack Sullivan?" Master Chen of the Iron Fist School asked his disciples. "They say he's barely twenty-five and already killed a six-channel master!""Impossible!" one disciple protested. "No one that young could have such power!""The witnesses all confirm it," Master Chen replied grimly. "Victor Hunter committed suicide rather than live with the shame of defeat."In another part of the city, underground bosses gathered in smoky rooms to discuss the implications."Do you think this Jack Sullivan is connected to Mr. Sullivan of the River Region?" asked one nervous crime lord."Don't be ridiculous," another scoffed. "Mr. Sullivan is just a regional gang leader. This Jack Sullivan is clearly a monster from some ancient martial family.""But the name is suspicious...""Pure coincidence," the

    Victor Hunter knelt in the bloodstained snow, his body trembling as he began the process that would end his legendary career forever. With grim determination, he started severing his own meridian channels one by one."Master, no!" several voices cried out from the crowd, but it was too late.Victor Hunter's powerful energy began dissipating, transforming into thousands of icy swallows that fluttered around him briefly before dissolving like snowflakes in the winter air. His life force, built up over decades of cultivation, scattered to the winds in moments.With a final shuddering breath, Victor Hunter collapsed face-first into the snow. The legendary leader of the Green Gang was dead.Jack Sullivan looked down at the corpse without emotion, then turned to William Smith, who was standing frozen in terror nearby."You," Jack Sullivan commanded. "Bury him."William Smith's face went pale. "Me? But I... I don't...""Did I stutter?" Jack Sullivan's voice carried deadly authority. "Bury Vi

    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
