Shing!Zhuge Dao's elbow dipped toward the side, following a sharp but swift quick-draw. The unsheathed cylindrical nebula condensed from dark purple energy swiftly stabilized into a spotless white blade with a slightly curved edge. Zhuge Dao slightly adjusted his one-handed grip around the hilt before he lunged forward. He proceeded to hack a diagonal slash precisely aimed at the neck of the rigid silhouette whose back was facing him.Boom!With barely an inch separating the blade from making contact with its intended target, it was suddenly met with an invisible but clearly palpable obstruction. The sheer force of impact caused the blade to bounce back.A trace of disappointment flickered across Zhuge Dao's eyes. Borrowing the force of the rebound, he dipped back with a sharp 360-degree spin. He had only just created a wide gap between them when a devastating surge of kinetic pressure erupted from Hector Le Roy's perfectly still frame. Appearing to possess an intent of its own, t

Roine Manor.Across the fifty fortresses within Rozhou, this particular territory enjoyed a unique prestige. Not only was it the residential domain of House Le Roy descendants, it was also the central seat of power for the entirety of Rozhou. Contrary to what its name suggested, the sheer size of Roine Manor was far from modest— nearly two times larger than a small-sized fortress city. In addition to the towering head manor, over a hundred lesser manors stood nestled within the enclosed boundary of the estate.Individually occupying their private estates, the owners of these "lesser" manors were all Demiurges of House Le Roy descent. With the main manor being the sole exception, access to these lesser estates was strictly forbidden to outsiders.Roughly five Shifts ago, a novice Civil Office holder had gotten lost after visiting Roine Manor for the first time. Aimlessly wandering the main estate grounds, he unknowingly crossed the acceptable threshold, instantly triggering one of the

Tap!All ten fingers clenched tightly around the hilt of his sword, Phillipe lunged forward. Instantly closing the gap separating him from Simon, he launched a wide horizontal slash—aimed directly at the midsection of his opponent.Fwip!Simon immediately entered a high overhead stance, both hands gripping the weapon near the top of the hilt. In the face of the incoming swing, he bounded forward. Driving an explosive stomp with his lead foot, he brought the blade of his sword straight down. Despite being the second to launch an attack, Simon's blade split the air a split-second faster than Phillipe's horizontal slash.Clang!Simon's blade dropped down with unbridled momentum. Overwhelmed by the sheer force of the collision, Phillipe's blade was violently deflected from its intended trajectory.'Not bad.' A small curve spread across the corner of Phillipe's lips.Seconds slowly trickled by. Locked in a tense, vibrating stalemate, both blades ground harshly against each other. Slowly b

"I trust you'll make the right decision." Tristan's gaze shifted away from Mirai's ashen expression.He inhaled sharply, before gently pressing the bow against one of the violin strings. Following this precise movement of his fingers, a smooth musical note began to play. The pace of the melody perfectly and effortlessly maintained. It was neither too fast nor too slow, neither overwhelmingly loud nor hauntingly inaudible. Yet, the moment Tristan began to play the violin, the sound immediately drown out the noise of the surrounding scions' heated debate."Draw out your weapon."Down in the courtyard, the two young men stood facing each other. Separating them was a measured gap that could easily be traversed in a matter of a couple of breaths."I won't hold back." While his lips moved, Simon's fingers were far from idle.He curved his right hand into an L-shaped gesture, drawing his upper arm tight against his chest. At the same time, most of his fingers were clenched into a fist, sa

A few moments later, one of the two flower entertainers from earlier walked into the gazebo. She arrived before the table and dropped the violin case hugged against her chest. Once she left, Phillipe rose to his feet. "Who will be the first challenger?" Silence. Phillipe furrowed his brow. "How about you all come at me at me at once?" The expressions of the young scions present immediately went frosty. Individually hailing from prestigious backgrounds, all who were present were lauded as prodigies right from their childhood. As such, Phillipe's arrogant comment dealt a massive blow to their ego. "It will be an honor to spar with the second young master." one of the scions rose to his feet. Unlike a majority of his peers who were present, the young Demiurge boasted of a chubby frame that towered over six feet high. A few stubs of beards could be spotted across his jaws while his scalp was completely bald. Phillipe scanned his opponent like a hawk observing its prey. A smirk s

"I'll accept challenges from anybody in this establishment. As long as one of my challengers wins, I'll forgive the offense on behalf of House Le Roy." A tensed silence immediately enveloped the interior of Griffin Pavilion. Tacitly maintaining this silence, the scions who were present all exchanged heavy glances. From where he sat, Tristan battled hard to conceal his smile. He let out a small laugh. "A duel?" "Hm?" Phillipe's gaze shifted towards Tristan's direction. Annoyance flashed in his eyes. "Hm? do you think your demand is better?" "Of course not." Tristan responded. His gaze briefly shifted towards the direction of the scions. "However, I doubt any of them would dare challenge you." "Oh?" Phillipe's gaze swept over the scions. Briefly meeting his gaze, they all collectively averted their eyes towards the side. Satisfaction swelled up within Phillipe. However, he fiegned ignorance. "Why won't they challenge me?" Tristan's brows leapt in amusement while he inhaled sharpl
