The towering flames could be seen even from several miles away.Xayne arrived at the foot of the mountain, got into his car, and handed the file folder to Draven, saying coldly, "Verify the authenticity immediately. I'll wait here."Draven glanced at the documents in the file folder, his face filled with shock, and said, "Yes, Commander."With that, he jumped out of the car, got into another one, and drove straight to one of the branches of Dracarium in Drakonix.Meanwhile, Xayne remained where he was, waiting silently.Time passed by minute by minute.After about an hour, Draven, driving a jeep, rushed back. He slammed on the brakes and then jumped out of the car. He hurried over to Xayne and said, "Drakon King, I've checked it. The photos are real, with no signs of manipulation. Furthermore, the information in the documents is also authentic."Upon hearing this, Xayne took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, and his aura suddenly erupted, soaring to the heavens and coverin
Drake's face darkened quickly, a chill creeping into his expression. However, he concealed this well, so much so that even the Emperor did not notice.With a smile, he said, "A rising Divine Commander, Xayne, you're truly something. Nowadays in Drakonia, aside from the heads of the big four, their revered elders, and the reclusive masters of various groups, there are fewer than five young rising Divine Commanders like you."Hearing this, Xayne frowned. 'Is there really that many prodigious rising Divine Commanders around?'The Emperor chuckled, "Mr. Drake, while that's true, Xayne's achievement at his age is worth celebrating! Don't forget, he started late! It's been less than six years. Even the prodigies of KB Kings Circle can't match Xayne's rapid advancement."Drake nodded slightly. "Yes, Your Majesty is right. Even the prodigies of the KB Kings Circle can't compare to Xayne's speed. Xayne is indeed a genius among geniuses."With a serious expression, Drake looked at Xayne a
The statues, all carved from white marble and entwined with golden dragons and phoenixes, were varied in their poses—some brandishing swords skyward, others striking the earth with fists, and still others gazing at the stars with books in hand. Despite their diversity, the statues exuded an overwhelming sense of solemnity and grandeur.Behind this vast plaza stood the imposing and historic main gate of KB Kings Circle, comprising six massive, gilded redwood doors. Beyond these doors lay the main hall of the group, an ancient and dignified structure with black walls and blue tiles. Flanking the hall were two towering stone pillars that seemed to reach the sky.No one knew how long these pillars had stood, only that they had been there since the founding of the KB Kings Circle. They were adorned with carvings of rare beasts and ancient scripts, weathered by time.Surrounding Mount KB were smaller peaks, each housing different branch halls of the group. While not as grand as the main h
"Master, do you intend to have Ginga test Xayne's strength?" Drake's face was full of astonishment as he asked about Ginga.Klink nodded. "The KB Kings Circle's members have been secluded for too long. It's time for them to see the outside world. Ginga has the potential of a Divine Commander. It will be beneficial for him to gain some experience. You must protect him. He is the future of the KB Kings Circle and will achieve levels beyond mine."Upon hearing this, Drake pondered briefly before replying, "Yes, Master. I will ensure the young master's safety.""Is there anything else?" Klink asked, his voice tinged with impatience as Drake hesitated to leave.Drake quickly responded, "Master, before I came, Xayne met with me and the Emperor. He mentioned that Xander's loyal disciple gave him a letter during his time in Black Prison. The letter stated that the Heavenly Tome could help him reach the Divine Commander realm and even higher.""Xander," Klink murmured the name with a dark,
This was the essence of control over one's strength. Most people could not even lift the 500-pound black iron broadsword, let alone wield it with precision. But Ginga had been able to lift this sword since he was eight years old.The broadsword was crafted from meteoric iron by the eleventh group leader of the KB Kings Circle, a master weaponsmith. He forged nearly half of the weapons in the group's armory. Since its creation, only the eleventh group leader could wield this sword until Ginga came along. It was expected that a Divine Commander would easily lift such a sword, yet no one in the group could do so effortlessly—except for Ginga. At eight years old, his feat stunned the entire group, leading Klink to name him the young master of KB Kings Circle.As Drake watched Ginga practice his sword strikes, he approached respectfully, "Mr. Ginga."Ginga halted his practice, slowly sheathing the sword and wrapping it in a black silk cloth before slinging it over his back. He then b
At the same time, Xayne had returned to Folksworth. Throughout the few days of peace, Xayne spent his time at home, accompanying Coco and instructing Serena in self-defense techniques. At her request, he also taught her some advanced combat skills. Initially, he was concerned that Serena might find these techniques too harsh, but to his surprise, she persevered through them with determination.Serena had expressed her desire not to rely on Xayne for protection every time and to become strong and resilient on her own. To this end, Xayne devised a comprehensive training plan to make her as formidable as possible, aiming to bring her to the level of someone like Red Rose. According to the War Department's combat strength assessment, Serena had already reached the level of a Grand Master Warrior. Ordinary warriors would be no match for her, which was a testament to Xayne's meticulous guidance and training."How am I doing, honey?" Serena, clad in a tight training outfit and covered i
Xayne chuckled and hugged Serena, saying, "Don't worry, go ahead and negotiate confidently. I am your strong support."Serena playfully rolled her eyes at him, kissed him on the cheek quickly, and then got up, saying, "I'm off to pick up Coco."Xayne nodded, watching Serena leave. He then took out the throwing knife again, examining it closely. It still carried the aura left by that rising Divine Commander—a dense, overpowering presence that, while seemingly calm, felt like a thunderclap.As he pondered, his phone rang. Upon answering, he heard Hammond's anxious voice. "Xayne, where are you?"Xayne frowned. "I'm in Folksworth. What's going on?""What else could it be? The people from Healers Valley are coming after you!" Hammond's tone was urgent, clearly exasperated by Xayne's apparent nonchalance."Healers Valley? Let them come. This is the perfect opportunity to send them a warning. I am not to be trifled with," Xayne said coldly, his eyes flashing with determination.Hammond
'King… King of the North?'Upon hearing these three words, Lionel's entire body trembled, and cold sweat continuously formed on his forehead. 'My God! Was I opposing the King of the North? Isn't that akin to courting death?' It was no wonder Dispenza Circle and Kino Group fell. That was the King of the North, who commanded awe throughout Drakonia. This was a piece of cake for him.At this moment, Lionel felt a mix of emotions and even considered retreating. Offending the King of the North could very well be a death sentence for him.In the meeting room, other medical association members were equally shocked, their faces filled with terror."What...he's the King of the North? We're finished!""What do we do now? If we've offended the King of the North, aren't we all going to be executed?""Lionel, no, Mr. Waldo, you must think of a solution..."Seeing the panic among the group, Waldo snorted coldly and said, "It's just the King of the North. Why are you panicking? I am a seni
