Chapter 55
At the gathering point for the Inner Court assessment, a lean, stern-faced man clad in black strode forward, a thick staff strapped to his back.Though not conventionally handsome, his chiseled features exuded an unyielding resolve, and between his brows lingered an air of indomitable dominance — as if the world bowed to none but him.His presence alone carried an unshakable, mountain-like solidity, radiating a rugged, masculine strength that commanded respect.The moment the crowd at the gathering spot caught sight of him, their expressions shifted to reverence and awe, instinctively parting to clear his path."Senior Brother Dorian, you're here!""Good morning, Senior Brother Dorian!""Greetings, Senior Brother Dorian!"This man in black was none other than Dorian Ash, emerging from twenty days of secluded training to participate in the Inner Court's biannual assessment.By now, Dorian had already become a legend within the Inner Court of Stormcrest Martial Academy.In hushed whispe

The Nine Solar Sovereign Art he practiced had already transformed his ordinary Essence Power into Nine Solar Sovereign Essence — exceptionally pure — and it would grow even purer as he unlocked more pressure points. This was one of the reasons he could challenge opponents far beyond his level.It seems this Mystic-grade supreme cultivation technique won't be enough to refine the Nine Solar Sovereign Essence further. However, the substantial increase in total essence capacity comes as a delightful surprise!At present, Dorian's body possessed astonishing Essence Power recovery and purity, yet his total essence volume remained at the early Six-Star martial artist level. If he could expand his essence capacity, his combat prowess would undoubtedly surge by leaps and bounds!The seventh layer of the Boundless Essence Gathering Art promises a sixfold increase in essence volume — enough to elevate his early Six-Star reserves to rival those of an ordinary peak Six-Star warrior!With such amp

An inexplicable savage aura began radiating from his body like the awakening of some primordial beast."I said," Dorian replied evenly, meeting Kestrel's oppressive aura without flinching, his chin slightly raised, "I currently have no intention of seeking another master."BOOM!Kestrel's violent energy erupted without restraint! The terrifying pressure of his unleashed Essence Power sent Dorian's robes flapping wildly. The entire Alchemy Pavilion trembled as its massive support pillars groaned under the strain. Dust and wood fragments rained down from the ceiling in a continuous shower.Yet Dorian stood there calmly before Kestrel, hands clasped behind his back.His body was as unyielding as forged steel, like an ancient pine weathering the fiercest storm. With an indomitable presence, he met Kestrel's furious gaze without flinching.Dorian had already made up his mind.He had the System — even without becoming Kestrel's disciple, he would still rise to become a peerless powerhouse.

In strode a black-robed old man, his very presence exuding authority, his expression fierce even without anger.Elder Renwick cursed under his breath, then gestured expressionlessly toward Dorian. "There he is."The moment the words left his mouth, Dorian felt his entire body tense up.The black-robed elder's piercing gaze locked onto him, searing like flames against his skin. Dorian's pupils contracted slightly — this old man was no ordinary opponent.Not only did the elder's stare make his muscles coil tight, but even the faint, almost imperceptible aura radiating from him sent chills down Dorian's spine.This was pressure — the unconscious dominance of a true powerhouse.A martial artist of this caliber was undoubtedly a top-tier expert, a force to be reckoned with.Instinctively, Dorian's Nine Solar Sovereign Art surged to life within him.The pure, scorching energy of the Nine Yang True Energy roared like tidal waves through his meridians. His blood burned like a furnace, driving

At the very last moment, the Wishbound Goldband Staff halted abruptly, just an inch above Aldric's skull. The sheer force radiating from the staff sent chills down his spine as if the Reaper himself had come to claim him.Long seconds passed before Aldric realized — he was still alive.Gasping for breath, his face drenched in cold sweat, Aldric finally exhaled in relief. As his ragged breathing steadied, he managed to lift his head slightly, only to meet the icy gaze of Dorian, who towered over him, the golden staff still in hand.The sunlight cast a long shadow behind Dorian, engulfing Aldric in darkness. At that moment, Dorian seemed like an indomitable demon god, gazing down at him with the detached indifference one might show toward an insignificant insect.Gulp.Aldric swallowed hard, then immediately forced an ingratiating smile onto his face."Senior Brother Dorian," he stammered, his voice dripping with sycophantic admiration, "your strength is boundless, your might shakes the

Aldric's nostrils flared with rage. His perfectly good mood had just been utterly ruined. Some nobody, strutting onto his turf and acting tough? Asking for a death wish!Wait — hold on.Suddenly, Aldric frowned, scrutinizing Dorian more carefully.Black clothes. Staff. A brazen attitude. Could this guy be..."Are you that notorious Dorian Ash?"Aldric suddenly recalled a name in his mind and blurted it out under his breath."That's me."Dorian gave a faint nod, his expression indifferent."Though, I wouldn't mind if you called me 'Daddy' instead."Like hell I would!Aldric's face flushed crimson with rage. His jaw clenched as he glared at Dorian and spat, "Dorian Ash, I've heard plenty about you. You really think you're hot shit, huh?"A cold smirk curled his lips. "Word is, you've got brute strength — using that heavy staff of yours, even mastering the Great Wasteland Staff Intent to some degree. Crushing your opponents with sheer force, right? Well, tough luck!"He squared his shoul
