Chapter 203
BOOOOOOM! A deafening, explosive sound ripped across the white sand. It sounded like a cannon firing. Kai did not use the low-cost version of the Cloud-Piercing Step. Because his mana pathways were forcibly ripped wide open by Lucien’s inverted stimulant, Kai had access to ten times his normal magical output. Kai pushed a massive, blinding surge of light-blue mana into his boots. He broke the sound barrier. Kai literally vanished from his starting spot, leaving a deep crater of blasted white sand behind him. He appeared directly in front of the arrogant golden boy, Valerius, in less than a tenth of a second. Valerius’s eyes bugged out of his head. He did not even have time to blink, let alone raise his golden sword. The smile was still frozen on his face. Kai swung his cheap, plain steel sword. He did not aim for a lethal strike. He aimed for absolute, total humiliation. Kai swung the flat side of his steel blade like a baseball bat, aiming directly at the side of Valerius’s g

Kai’s heart began to beat furiously against his ribs. He could hear his own blood rushing in his ears. The exhaustion from the morning fights completely, instantly vanished. His muscles twitched with raw, explosive power. He felt like he could lift a mountain. He felt like he could run across the ocean. He felt absolutely, incredibly invincible. "Do you guys feel that?" Kai asked. His voice was deeper, slightly hoarse. His hands shook, not with fear, but with pure, uncontainable energy. "I feel like I am going to explode," Jian smiled. It was a wide, wild, almost crazy smile. Seraphina turned away from the door. She looked at her students. She immediately sensed the massive, sudden spike in their auras. The air around the teenagers was vibrating. Tiny sparks of blue static electricity literally danced across Kai’s plain steel sword. "What is happening to you?" Seraphina asked, stepping forward in alarm. "Your mana... it is spiking dangerously high! Did you take forbidden pills?
Chapter 201
Elder Seraphina stood near the heavy iron door of the waiting room. She wore her beautiful white and blue robes. She looked at her students, and her heart swelled with massive pride. They had survived the worst training in the world, and now they were proving their strength. Lucien sat in the darkest corner of the wet room. He was slouching against the wall, wearing his dirty brown cloak. His eyes were half-closed, acting like he was taking a nap. But his mind was wide awake. His Shadow-Lord senses were spread out across the entire underground hallway. He listened to the guards walking outside. He listened to the breathing of his students. Suddenly, a clear, sharp sound rang loudly inside Lucien’s head. DING! A bright, flashing red screen exploded in front of his eyes. [CRITICAL WARNING!][Lethal Airborne Toxin Detected.][Toxin Name: Silent Coil Incense.][Effect: Severe crystallization of mana pathways. Extreme muscle paralysis.

Chapter 200
High above the white sand of the Imperial Arena, the Royal Box was completely quiet. It was a beautiful room. The walls were made of pure, shiny gold. The chairs were covered in soft, red velvet. Crystal tables held plates of fresh, sweet fruit and cups of expensive wine. But the mood inside the room was dark, ugly, and full of boiling anger. The Patriarch of the Saint-Aurelius Clan paced back and forth across the thick red carpet. The old man was furious. He wore heavy golden armor. His face was wrinkled, and his golden eyes burned with pure hatred. Crown Prince Julian stood in the corner of the room. He held a crystal cup of wine in his hand. Julian’s handsome face was tight with stress. He did not look like a confident prince anymore. He looked like a man who had just been publicly slapped in the face. "Explain this to me, Julian," the Patriarch hissed. His voice was low and dangerous. "Explain how a group of starving, sick, dirty children from the mountains just humiliated our
Chapter 199
Meanwhile, in Crown Prince Julian's private balcony, Julian was throwing a massive tantrum. He smashed his crystal wine cups against the stone wall. He kicked his golden table over. His guards stood terrified in the corner, afraid to speak. "Seraphina!" Julian screamed, looking down at the beautiful Ice-Veined Sword in the coach's box. "How did you do this?! Where did you find the money for new swords?! Where did you learn this fighting style?!"Julian’s chest heaved up and down. He had planned to watch her cry today. He had planned to step into the arena when her students were all bleeding and offer to save them if she married him. He had written a whole speech. He wanted to be the hero who broke her. Now, his perfect plan was ruined in front of the entire Empire. The Cloud-Soaring Sect was stealing the entire show. They looked invincible. "Send for the Shadow-Walkers," Julian hissed to his guard captain. The guard captain turned pale. "My Lord? The Shadow-Walkers? But they are
Chapter 198
Match after match. Hour after hour. The crowd watched in growing horror. The capital city was used to flashy, aristocratic martial arts. The rich nobles liked to see bright colors, loud explosions, and beautiful, long sword dances. They treated combat like a pretty stage play. They wanted to be entertained. But the Cloud-Soaring kids were stripping away all the flashy garbage. They did not yell the names of their attacks. They did not pose for the crowd after a good hit. They did not try to look cool. They fought with pure, brutal survival combat. It was the exact combat style Lucien had learned in the deep, dark Eternal Ossuary. In the graveyard, if you wasted a single second trying to look pretty, a monster ate your head. You had to kill the enemy as fast and as cleanly as possible. Lucien had beaten this philosophy into their bones. He had sent immortal shadow-knights to terrorize them in the mud until their bodies moved on pure survival instinct. "They fight like assassins,"
