But before anyone could draw breath, Ronan laughed once more.
Louder than before, clearer, each note cutting through the tension like a blade.
Then, with a single step forward, he turned not only to Aveline but to the sea of spectators.
His voice rang out like a war drum, steady, unshakable, impossible to ignore.
“All Crowne clan disciples present,” he thundered, “answer me this. If any one of you, without committing a crime, were to be oppressed, humiliated, crippled, or even killed, by this so-called Vice Principal, what should be done?”
His words did not merely echo, they struck, sinking deep into the hearts of every Crowne disciple.
For a moment, silence lingered, thick with the weight of what was about to come.
And then—
A roar exploded across the arena, so loud it seemed the very sky trembled in response.
“If we commit a crime and di

The Vice Principal’s Defeat
Realizing that she could no longer intimidate Ronan through mere rank or arrogance, Aveline Westmere quickly attempted to shift the situation to her advantage.Her voice grew cold and controlled, though the tremor of underlying frustration betrayed her inner turmoil.“Regardless of personal feelings,” she said icily, “this is still Thalara Martial Academy. If a student violates school regulations, what harm is there in issuing a punishment?”Her words, meant to assert authority, instead drew a mocking smile from Ronan.The younger heir’s expression was calm yet filled with disdain, each movement of his lips radiating a cold certainty that made even seasoned cultivators in the stands feel a chill.“Punishment?”Ronan’s voice carried a cutting edge as he spoke, his tone neither loud nor frantic, yet every word reverberated with the gravity of a warrior’s conviction.“Of course,
Martial Saint’s Shadow and the Crowne’s Wrath
Her attempt at mockery hung in the air.But before anyone could draw breath, Ronan laughed once more.Louder than before, clearer, each note cutting through the tension like a blade.Then, with a single step forward, he turned not only to Aveline but to the sea of spectators.His voice rang out like a war drum, steady, unshakable, impossible to ignore.“All Crowne clan disciples present,” he thundered, “answer me this.

The Crowne’s Hidden Saint
Then, with a sneer, Aveline let out a cold, mocking laugh.Holding her head high with unshakable arrogance, she declared,“I am a Peak-Stage Rank 8 Gold Master. Disciplining a clueless junior like you, Ronan, what can the Crowne Family possibly do about it? Even if I killed you here and now, would they dare kill me in return?”Her chin lifted higher, her voice cutting like frost.“Besides, it was you, Ronan, who provoked me, a Rank 8 Gold Master. The Crowne Family would hardly have a case to stand on!”Deep inside, Aveline truly believed it.Even if she gave Ronan a severe beating, Lucas Crowne, Ronan’s father, wouldn’t dare retaliate.After all, she was on the verge of breaking through to Rank 9.Who in their right mind would dare criticize her for disciplining a junior?As for Lucas?Yes, he was a Rank 9 Elder Archmaster… but so what?She wasn’t the only on
Clash of Authority
In the center of the arena, Ronan’s voice rang out like steel striking stone.He paused briefly, his sharp gaze sweeping across the silent crowd, before speaking again, his tone now even more forceful, righteous, and sharp as a blade.“If you dare to oppress me and favor Lucien unfairly,” he declared, his words reverberating through the stands, “then be prepared to face the wrath of the Crowne Family!”The crowd gasped at the bold proclamation.Even the senior instructors stiffened, unsure how to respond.For Ronan to invoke the might of the Crowne Family so openly… it was a challenge that couldn’t be ignored.Aveline Westmere, however, was left momentarily speechless.Her lips parted as if to retort, yet no words came forth.She had crossed paths with Ronan before, but never like this.In the past, he had always been reserved, quiet, even timid in the face of authority.Criticism never provoked resistance from him.He had endured in silence.But now… he dared to look her straight in t
I Will Not Be Intimidated
Lucien stood stiff in the arena, his body trembling as his eyes locked on the mature woman now standing protectively in front of him.For a moment, he couldn’t breathe.A whisper slipped past his lips, shaky and filled with disbelief.“Mentor…”The word rippled through the arena like thunder.Gasps spread across the stands.Dozens of students blinked in shock, realizing what his slip of the tongue meant.Aveline Westmere… she’s Lucien's mentor?Lucien’s mind raced, memories flooding back unbidden.He could still see it clearly, that day during the beast-hunting expedition.He had stood bloodied and broken, his sword quivering in his grip as he faced a Rank 6 beast far beyond his reach.Reckless, desperate, yet burning with a mad determination.And then, she had appeared.Aveline Westmere, Rank 8 Gold Master of Thalara Martial Academy, drifting like an untouchable star while gathering rare resources to prepare for her own breakthrough to Rank 9.She hadn’t intended to intervene.But sh
The Beautiful Interference
That single strike made the hair of every student watching in the challenge arena stand on end.Their eyes were filled with utter terror.Under their horrified gazes, the golden light tore through space.The overwhelming and suffocating force of the strike caused visible cracks to form in the arena where Ronan Crowne and Lucien Cross stood.To shatter space with blade intent, this was no power an ordinary Rank 6 cultivator could possibly wield!One thought echoed in everyone’s mind:Wasn’t Ronan supposed to be only Rank 5? Why did his attack feel even more terrifying than some top-tier Rank 7 grandmasters?!Could it be… Ronan has already advanced to—No one dared finish the thought.The mere possibility was enough to send shivers down their spines.A Rank 7 grandmaster under the age of 30, such a feat had never before occurred in Arken’s recorded cultivation history.Even the legendary Heavenly Emperor of old had not broken through to Rank 7 until the age of 38!Crack!While the crow
