The suffocating aura that greeted them the instant they emerged from the portal made them all tense up.

It wasn't just the sensation of being in the presence of powerful individuals—it was as if the very air itself had been infused with concentrated energy that pressed down on them from all directions.

"This is..." Leo started, but found himself unable to complete the sentence, his legs trembling as he struggled to stand up straight.

The sensation was unlike anything he'd ever experienced—worse than even his first near-death experience in combat.

Brok and Mara, on the other hand, simultaneously crashed to the ground on their knees, breaking both the ground and their knees upon collision.

"Oh, come on!" Brok struggled to voice out his complaint, his voice barely above a whisper.

"First we get teleported without the right to speak like luggage, then we watch superhuman martial arts demonstrations, and now the air itself is trying to crush us!"

Mara was in far worse condition than Brok.

    "I'll be taking you to your residence as well as giving you your training regimen now," Akira announced as she walked through the door of the hut, her voice carrying seriousness.The others hurriedly followed behind. Actually, hurriedly was not a very accurate word, given Brok and Mara's current mode of locomotion. Still unable to walk upright under the crushing atmospheric pressure, they crawled as fast as they could behind her, their dignity having been abandoned ever since they stepped into the Tian district."Hang in there, you two," Leo spoke in an encouraging tone towards the human puppies on the floor. "Everyone starts somewhere. Even I had to crawl before I could walk, literally speaking."The puppies bit their lips, not responding.The garden outside the hut was as beautiful as ever despite that it was nighttime. The flowers in the garden seemed to glow with their own inner light like they were imbued with magic, and the trees that surrounded the landscape swayed without an

    Ryder fell onto the soft cushions of clouds that nearly consumed him whole, his body sinking into the comfort like he was in heavenly embrace."Ahhhhh," he moaned in pure pleasure, his voice echoing across the floating ground. "This is just right."It was like lying on a mattress made of marshmallows that was abnormally soft and at the same time, supportive enough to prevent him from sinking completely through."I wonder why the Tian supreme leader's residence looks so mediocre," Ryder mused aloud, his voice slightly muffled by the cloud's softness. "Our assigned residence is even better than hers.""Yeah, I agree with you," Leo responded as he crossed his legs, sitting up on his cloud with his eyes closed in all seriousness. He was like someone who had just discovered the meaning of comfort; it was almost laughable. "Maybe she's one of those 'all business, no pleasure' class of people."Below them on the scorching ground, Mara and Brok were still sprawled in dishonorable positions,

    "It's been a while, Master. You're welcome."Master Sung's serious expression broke into one of his rare, genuinely cheerful smiles—the kind that would make even guild members' jaws drop because it was such an unusual sight."Thank you, thank you," he responded warmly, his voice sounding almost grandfatherly, a tone none of them had heard before.It was strange seeing this legendary figure, who commanded respect from entire districts, acting so... human. Even Ryder could tell this wasn't like the fake emotions he had been showing all this while.Akira Tian's piercing gaze swept from Master Sung to the group standing behind him, and her expression immediately shifted to one of observation."You seem to have some company," she observed, gesturing toward Ryder and the others with a fluid motion that somehow managed to be both dismissive and acknowledging at the same time. "Are they the reason for your visit?""Yes, yes, certainly!" Master Sung replied with a bright smile. He placed a fir

    All that was left behind was a trail of dust.Hinata closed the distance between him and Ryder faster than Ryder's eyes could trace. Movement faster than a black-marked summoner could trace.One moment he was standing fifteen feet away from Ryder at the other side of the platform, taking his preparatory stance. The next moment, he was directly in front of Ryder, close enough that Ryder could feel the displaced air from his movement blowing into his face.What was truly impressive wasn't just the speed—it was also the control.Hinata had covered the distance in what appeared to be a single fluid motion that even Ryder surprisingly could not track. He had stopped precisely where he intended to stop, with no overshoot, no correction, just perfectly accurate."The key," Hinata said, his voice perfectly steady despite the fact that he had just demonstrated an extraordinary movement, "is not just speed, but controlled speed. Power without precision is merely destructive force. Precision wit

    "Take your stance."Mara's face drained of color in a flash, her brown eyes widening to the size of dinner plates as she took a step backward subconsciously."No way! That's really necessary!" she protested, her voice carrying unhidden panic.Her hands flew up defensively, palms facing outward as if she could physically push away the very suggestion. "You should just show us how it's done—no need for us to interfere!"She gestured wildly at Hinata, who stood before them calmly. "I mean, look at you! You know we don't stand a chance against you in a battle. We'll wind up hurt—no, scratch that—we'll wind up destroyed if we have a duel!""Isn't that right, Brok!" She turned to Brok, who suddenly shot upward like he was being hit by a lightning strike at the mention of his name.Brok nodded so fast like a bobblehead doll in speed that should have defied his capability."Uhh... Exactly! I've seen enough action movies to know how this ends. The rookie gets in the ring with the master, and t
