Chapter 539: The Unknowing Prize.
The moment Oasis stepped away from the gigantic battlefield, and Lukan was escorted toward the infirmary, the crushing tension that had blanketed the Grand Sanctuary finally loosened its grip.Amon Pecunia made his presence felt as he hovered above as if he was not all this time, his presence commanding instant attention.His voice echoed clearly as he made his announcement.“The final duel will take place at midnight,” Amon declared. “This is to allow the finalists sufficient time to rest and recover.”A brief pause followed before he continued.“In the meantime, once the battlefield has been fully restored, the audience will be entertained.Performers have already been arranged—singers, renowned flute players, guzheng masters, poets, bards, and skalds.”With that, Amon moved towards the upper gallery, and the invisible dam holding the crowd’s restraint finally burst.The Grand Sanctuary erupted into sound.Voices surged like a tidal wave—excitement, speculation, disbelief, and antic

As Lukan remained standing before Oasis, struggling to maintain his posture while processing every word that had been spoken, his body finally betrayed him.!!!A sudden jolt of pain surged violently from his stomach—the exact place where Oasis’s strikes had landed earlier.It struck without warning.Lukan’s breath was ripped from his lungs as his eyes widened, his body jerking forward involuntarily.His knees buckled, and for a brief moment he almost collapsed face-first into the shattered stone.A hoarse grunt escaped his throat as he clenched his abdomen, veins bulging along his neck and temples.Cold sweat poured down his face, mixing with blood as his vision blurred at the edges.The pain was not sharp.It was deep.Heavy.Scorching.As if something was burning him from the inside while crushing his organs at the same time.“Damn it…” Lukan thought, his teeth grinding together as another wave tore through him.“This pain… it’s not fading. It’s getting worse.”His stomach felt as
Chapter 537: The Weight of Awareness.
“So, kid? Blow up my mind. Prove me wrong. Prove that my research is wrong."Theodore Kaizen’s thoughts echoed sharply as his gaze remained fixed on the battlefield below.Oasis stood there calmly, unhurried, as though the arena were no more dangerous than a quiet courtyard.Before him, Lukan Maser was bent forward, one knee barely keeping him upright, blood dripping steadily from the corner of his mouth.Each cough wracked his body, crimson splattering onto the fractured stone beneath his feet.The battlefield itself bore the scars of their clash—craters still steaming faintly from fire,water-soaked trenches which were evaporating from oasis's aura cut clean through scorched ground,the air thick with lingering mana turbulence.Lukan’s mystic beast, Ursa,was barely there, its once-majestic form dimmed to nothing, its presence weakened as though its very bond with Lukan was strained.Oasis, by contrast, showed not a single sign of exhaustion.His robes were rags, his breathing steady
Chapter 536: The Kaizen Thesis.
Oasis’s words might have seemed simple to ordinary cultivators.To them, it would have sounded no different than a passing remark—wow, the kid is talented, he can even wield Water magic.In their minds, it would merely reinforce the notion that Oasis was gifted, nothing more. A prodigy, perhaps, but still within the boundaries of reason.Hence, his claim that Lukan’s magic was lacking would be dismissed as youthful arrogance backed by raw talent.But within the noble gallery, the atmosphere was entirely different.Here, silence reigned—not the silence of boredom, but the suffocating stillness of minds racing far too quickly.Eyes narrowed.Fingers tightened against railings.These were men and women who had spent decades, some entire lifetimes, studying the laws that governed cultivation.They did not hear arrogance.They heard heresy.“Preposterous,” Theodore muttered, his voice low but heavy, carrying an edge of absolute certainty.“He is either a master of deception… or he is invit
Chapter 535: Absolute Syllables.
Upper Gallery“I have to say it,” Devi Pogoda spoke slowly, his sharp eyes fixed on the battlefield far below, “your nephew is ruthless for his age.What kind of upbringing did he have to say and do whatever he feels like doing without restraint?”His gaze did not soften as he continued.“This is not how the perception of a child regarding the world should be,” Devi added, his tone edged with criticism.“Words have weight. Power has consequence.Just because you can see flaws in someone’s perfection does not mean you must voice them.What if they are content with their own system?What if that system is what defines them?”He turned slightly toward Marcellia, his eyes narrowing.“And sometimes,” Devi continued, “one must know who they are speaking to—and what consequences might befall them after saying certain words.Or is he like this because that is how you taught him?Or how those wherever he grew up taught him?”Devi exhaled, then pressed further, his voice low but sharp.“Speakin
Chapter 534: Forced Lesson and Pity.
The space around Oasis and Lukan dimmed unnaturally.Though the sun still hung high above the Grand Sanctuary, its light seemed unwilling—or unable—to fully penetrate the region where Lukan’s energy had surged.Dark azure mist thickened the air, swallowing brightness, bending shadows, turning the space into something heavy and oppressive, as though the battlefield itself had sunk beneath a deep, cold ocean.The temperature dropped sharply, breaths turning faintly visible, while the air carried the pressure of abyssal depths pressing inward from every direction.Lukan’s killing intent saturated the space.His hands moved.They sliced through the air with wet, rippling sounds—schlrrp… shhhk—as though his arms were submerged and dragged through dense water.Invisible currents clung to his fingers, trailing droplets and mist, the water blades humming with lethal sharpness as they vibrated violently.“Tch.”Oasis muttered softly.As if the ground itself had sprung to life beneath his fe
