Yvette’s eyes froze as she stared at the figure standing in the middle of the flames. Everything seemed to stop in that moment.
Her heart felt like it was being torn apart. The pain made it hard to breathe.
It was Leander who had saved her from the Black Sorcerer that day, but he had never mentioned it. Even when she asked him directly, he never admitted it.
“Why… do you hate me so much that you didn’t even want me to know you saved me? You didn’t even want to admit it p>
Her body went numb. She couldn’t feel anything anymore. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed by the edge of the cliff.
Everyone else was too focused on what was happening to notice her.
Up on the stone pillar, flames swirled wildly around Leander, burning away the Silken Trap. Grayson was forced back several dozen feet. He looked terrified.
His Infinite Silken Trap was something he had spent over ten years perfecting. He had even spent three days preparing it at the top of Glidewing Mountain just for this fight.
He had been sure it would be enough to defeat Leander, thinking victory would be in the bag.
Leander had almost been torn apart, but at the last moment, he turned things around. The fire swallowed up the move Grayson thought would win.
Grayson was gob–smacked.
“Grayson, even your last move failed. So, who do you think won this fight?” Leander stood in the middle of the fire. His face was calm, and he gave a slight smirk.
Before Grayson could respond, Leander raised his hand. The flames started to move and slowly formed a giant hand.
“After today, there’s no more Jade Emperor. The entire South belongs to me p>
Whoosh!
As soon as he spoke, he attacked. “Flamebreaker p>

He had used this move before against the Black Sorcerer and his Phantom Wail Realm in an old factory. Now, facing Grayson–a Martial Sovereign–he used it again.
The giant flame hand grew quickly in Grayson’s eyes. He tried to dodge, but Leander had already blocked every way out. Fire rushed in from all sides, surrounding him completely.
“No, this can’t be happening! I won’t lose p>
Grayson shouted, his voice echoing in the sky. But as the fire closed in, his voice was swallowed up and vanished.
The massive flaming hand, more than ten yards wide, slowly closed its fingers and trapped him inside.
Then, with a single motion from Leander’s hand, the fire disappeared. All that was left was a puff of blue smoke floating away with the wind. Grayson–the man known across the country’s martial arts world as the Jade Emperor–was gone. The rightful source is ~net
“Master p>
Raymond shouted in grief, his voice filled with pain. He couldn’t believe that his powerful, almost unbeatable teacher had been killed by Leander in one move, without even a body left behind.
Everyone stood frozen, shocked by what they had just seen. No one spoke for a long time.
Grayson had been undefeated for half a lifetime. He dominated the country’s martial arts world for years. He fought in over a hundred matches and only lost once, more than ten years ago, to Gareth. And now, a teenager–just seventeen or eighteen–had taken him out with a single move.
A legend, beaten in one strike.
After the shock faded, many people felt a wave of sadness. Grayson had once been strong enough to beat anyone. Besides Gareth, no one in the country could stop him.
He had ruled an entire era.
Now, not even his ashes remained. Only smoke. It was hard to believe–and hard not to feel
sorry.
Everyone turned to Leander. Their eyes were filled with awe, fear, respect, and envy. Grayson had been a legend, and Leander had just killed him without hesitation. After today, a new chapter would begin.

And Leander would be the one writing it.
Theresa’s eyes shifted, her heart pounding in her chest.
Grayson had cast a shadow over many strong fighters. Even her father had thought Leander didn’t stand a chance.
But Leander climbed the mountain and won. One move had taken down a legend. He proved to everyone that even the Four Extremes weren’t unbeatable.
“He’s too strong. Jeff is just too strong p>
Wade, a Martial Sovereign who had once lost to Grayson, let out a sigh. He had thought Grayson would make a huge comeback, defeat Leander, and head to Highcliffe to face Gareth. However, on the top of Glidewing Mountain, he ended up being just another step in Leander’s rise.
Next to him, Atlas and the other four Martial Sovereigns from the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil stayed silent. The whole area went quiet.
“Leander, did you win?” Madeline’s face was streaked with tears. Her heart felt numb. She couldn’t even tell if she was happy or sad.
Yvette was still on the ground. Even though Leander had won, she hadn’t come back to herself. Her mind was full of memories of all their moments together.
Colin’s face was pale. He looked completely lost.
Even though he had clashed with Leander before, he never saw him as a real threat. To him, Leander was just some guy who talked big and made a few calls to get things done.
But now, Leander had risen to the top. He had killed someone as powerful as Grayson with his own hands.
Colin had hoped Grayson would defeat Leander–maybe even kill him. But the result was the exact opposite. Leander had become someone he couldn’t afford to mess with. Honestly, not just him–how many on this mountaintop could afford to go against Leander now?
“At that age, to fight through everything, beat a legend, and become one himself… Is there a better story than that?” The one–armed elder spoke quietly.
He felt like the past few decades of his life had been wasted. The woman in the plain dress was still frozen where she stood.
“Who in the country could beat him now p>

Most people thought of Gareth. But they all knew–Gareth was only a bit stronger than Grayson. Beating Leander now would be close to impossible.
“After today, his name will go down in the country’s martial arts history p>

Roman stood there in his long robe and sighed. He had just witnessed the rise of a new legend.
Beside him, Theresa’s eyes lit up. She had always chased strength. She once thought Ethan was the strongest of their generation. But now it was clear–the real strongest one was standing on that stone pillar, the boy who now held power over others.
Leander didn’t care about the looks people were giving him. His face stayed calm. He stood tall on the stone pillar, hands behind his back. Even after killing one of the Four Extremes, he didn’t feel much joy.
He still hadn’t found what martial arts truly meant.
Just then, a voice broke through the silence.
“Jeff, congratulations on your win p>
Everyone turned to look. It was Tsaric, the Sword Master of Jesund, who had stayed quiet the whole time. He stepped lightly to the edge of the cliff and jumped like a sword through the rain, landing on another stone pillar.
“You’re done with Grayson. Now it’s time for you and me to settle the scores p>
