The silence that followed Lucien’s departure was thick and suffocating. Cassius Saint-Aurelius remained huddled in the mud, his golden armor dull and scratched, his spirit effectively shattered.

The elite Solar Guard had already vanished into the horizon, their golden trails fading like dying embers.

Cassius was alone, surrounded by the scorched earth and the lingering, terrifying heat of the black flames. He didn't move. He didn't look at the sky. He simply stared at the empty road where his

    The aura hit the ten guards like an invisible, freezing brick wall. It was not physical force. It was pure, primal terror. The guards instantly stopped running. Their boots skidded on the wet stone floor. Their eyes rolled back into their heads. Their brains were completely overwhelmed by the sudden feeling of absolute doom. They felt like they had just stepped into the jaws of an ancient dragon. All ten fully grown, elite, heavily armored men collapsed to the floor at the exact same time. Their spears hit the stone. Their heavy armor clattered loudly. They were completely unconscious, knocked out cold by sheer, overwhelming psychological terror. Julian froze. The Crown Prince looked down at his ten best guards lying asleep in the dirt. He looked back up at the dirty beggar. "What... what did you do?" Julian whispered. His voice was shaking. Julian immediately flared his golden magic. His expensive dragon-scale armor glowed with blinding holy light. He pushed his massive, Spiri

    Julian raised his hand. The ten Royal Guards immediately spread out, blocking the entire hallway. There was no way around them. "You are not going to see the Adjudicator," Julian sneered. "Because the Adjudicator works for me. He is counting his bags of gold right now."Julian walked slowly toward her. He stopped just five feet away. He looked her up and down with a disgusting, hungry look in his golden eyes. "You look so proud, Seraphina," Julian whispered cruelly. "But your pride is going to get your favorite student chopped into tiny pieces today.""If you touch him, I will kill you myself," Seraphina hissed, her pale blue eyes burning with absolute hatred. Julian laughed. It was a dark, evil sound. "You cannot kill me," Julian smiled. "I am the Crown Prince. If you draw your sword against me in this hallway, my guards will execute you for treason. And then, my father will march the entire Imperial Army to your mountain. We will burn your beautiful trees. We will slaughter ever

    Seraphina’s pale blue eyes widened in shock. "The Right of the Crown? But that rule has not been used in a hundred years!""It is being used today," the official laughed. "The host clan has the legal right to challenge the winning junior team to one final exhibition match. It is a Vanguard Duel. And the challenger is already waiting for you on the white sand.""Who is the challenger?" Kai asked bravely, stepping up next to Seraphina. "Crown Prince Julian Saint-Aurelius," the official answered. The room went completely, utterly silent. "Julian?!" Seraphina screamed, her freezing anger exploding. The air in the wet dungeon room instantly dropped twenty degrees. Frost covered the stone walls. "Julian is twenty-seven years old! He is in the Spirit-Awakening Realm! He is a full-grown Master! My students are teenagers in the Qi-Gathering Realm! That is not a duel! That is a public execution!""It is perfectly legal," the official shrugged lazily. "The Crown Prince wants to test the stren

    The bright, burning sun was slowly beginning to set over the Imperial Capital. The sky turned dark orange and deep purple. Up in the magnificent, floating Royal Box of the Grand Arena, the air was poisoned with absolute fury. Crown Prince Julian Saint-Aurelius stood perfectly still. His hands were curled into tight fists. He stared down at the white sand of the arena. His golden eyes burned with an ugly, murderous light. His perfect plan was completely ruined. He had wanted to watch the Cloud-Soaring Sect cry. He had wanted to see them humiliated, beaten, and broken in front of millions of people. But instead, those dirty mountain kids had destroyed his best fighters. They had slapped his cousin Titus out of the ring like a piece of garbage. They had embarrassed the glorious Saint-Aurelius Clan. And then, his father, the Emperor, had announced the Survival Zone for tomorrow. But tomorrow was too far away for Julian. Julian’s chest heaved up and down. His heart was hammering wit

    "CLOUD-SOARING! CLOUD-SOARING!" the poor citizens chanted loudly. The rich nobles in the lower seats were horrified. They gasped and covered their mouths. The reputation of the glorious Saint-Aurelius Clan had just been dragged publicly, violently through the mud. In the Coach's Box, Seraphina stood up. Her pale blue eyes were shining with intense pride. She looked at her students. They were not scared children anymore. They were warriors. She turned to look at Lucien. Lucien smiled his lazy, crooked smile. He spit out his piece of green grass. "I told you they were hungry," Lucien said softly. Up in the Royal Box, Crown Prince Julian was shaking with a rage so intense his vision was turning red. Julian pulled a small, hidden magical talisman from his pocket. He crushed it in his hand. He was sending a secret, illegal message to his hidden assassins waiting under the arena. He was going to have the Cloud-Soaring kids murdered in the hallways right now. But as the crushed talisma

    Kai, Lin, and Jian surrounded the three golden princes. They did not try to pierce the shields. They just hit them. They kicked the golden barriers with their heavy boots. They smashed them with their elbows. They swung their sheathed swords like heavy iron hammers. The entire arena echoed with the loud, ringing sounds of heavy impacts. The millions of people in the crowd stared in absolute, jaw-dropping shock. Inside the golden bubbles, the arrogant princes were falling apart. Titus fell to his knees. His nose was bleeding. His ears were ringing so loudly he could not hear himself screaming. His vision was spinning. The constant, brutal kinetic shockwaves were rattling his organs. He was trapped inside his own defensive shield, being beaten to death by vibrations. "Make it stop!" Titus cried, dropping to his hands and knees in the sand. "My head!"Up in the Royal Box, the Emperor stood up from his golden throne. His face was twisted with pure, absolute fury. "What are they doin
