12) Finished
The Laughing Monk of West Ridge had planned to capture Claire and Serena, but suddenly felt a light breeze come in from the side
He scored to himself, thinking whoever made a move was overestimating themselves. He pushed his palm out, already filled with inner strength.
Then, he saw who it was a good–looking young man, probably not even twenty.
“He doesn’t know his place, he muttered with a sneer.
A cold fight flashed in his eyes as he added another ten percent of power to his palm, ready to crush the young man in one strike.
In a split second, their palms clashed head–on.
The Laughing Monk’s expression changed immediately.
The young man’s palm didn’t seem powerful at first, but the moment they touched, a force like a raging flood rushed up his arm.
There was a dull thud as the Laughing Monk flipped backward in midair, flying ten yards away.
He couldn’t believe it. Out of all the top fighters there, Sean was the strongest, yet someone had knocked him back with a single palm.
And that someone was just a kid?
When Serena saw the Laughing Monk charging toward her, she had lost all hope and shut her eyes, waiting for the worst. But then she felt a sudden gust in front of her, like someone had stepped in to block the attack. For more chapters visit.net
She opened her eyes right away.
A tall, lean figure stood in front of her, still holding a wine cup. He looked relaxed and calm—it was Leander, the guy she always found annoying.
“What just happened p>
The Laughing Monk, who had just been so threatening, now stood ten yards away, looking pale.
Serena looked confused. She hadn’t seen what happened, but Claire, beside her, along with Sean and the other Silvermoon Sect disciples, had seen everything.

They all looked stunned, shaken, and full of disbelief.
Finished
Claire, especially, stared hard. Her eyes trembled like she couldn’t trust what she was seeing.
That same young man who had shared a boat with her on the way to Silvermoon Abode, who didn’t seem to have any inner strength at all, had just flown in and knocked the Laughing Monk
back?
Even Sean and the Skyarc–top fighters in Astria–had been easily defeated by the Laughing Monk.
How could Leander possibly be this strong?
“He knocked back the Laughing Monk with one palm. Who is this guy?” Sean’s expression shifted. Even with his usual calm, he couldn’t hide how shaken he felt.
Earlier, the Laughing Monk had broken his formation with a single kick and seriously hurt the Skyarc with two palms. His inner strength was powerful and overwhelming, strong enough to punch through an armored vehicle, but Leander had just pushed him back.
That meant Leander’s strength was at least equal–or even greater?
Elena and the others exchanged glances, struggling to believe there had been someone this strong hiding among them the whole time.
Leander finished the wine in his cup, then casually tossed it back onto the table. It landed perfectly,
He looked at the Laughing Monk, half–smiling. “So, you came here to steal something? Fine. But now, you’re trying to take people, too? Don’t you think you’re going overboard p>
He hadn’t planned on stepping in. Fights over treasure were common in the martial arts world.
However, when the Laughing Monk tried to take Claire and Serena too, Leander couldn’t just ignore it. Both girls had stood up for him earlier and seemed like decent people, so he wasn’t about to just stand by.
The Laughing Monk’s eyes turned serious, and his smile disappeared. “Who are you p>
He kept one hand behind his back, still trembling a bit. Leander hadn’t injured him, but the hit
had left his arm sore and numb.
Since becoming famous, the Laughing Monk had never lost a fight. Even the former number two on the Astria Power Index had been beaten easily. But Leander’s palm strike had been the strongest he’d ever faced.

Leander didn’t answer right away, but he just smiled calmly. “I heard you used to be number one on the Astria Power Index. That got me curious. I want to see just how strong the former number one really is p>
Serena stood behind him, completely stunned. He’s actually challenging the Laughing Monk? Was it really him who saved me just now?
She stared at Leander’s back, thinking how crazy it all seemed. As far as she knew, Leander didn’t even know martial arts. He had no inner strength. Even if she’d misjudged him, at most, he was just a beginner.
Even people like Ethan and Daphne–some of the best in their generation—weren’t good enough to fight the Laughing Monk. So, how could Leander be?
The Laughing Monk suddenly burst out laughing, his voice echoing through the mountains. Trees shook, and small rocks on the ground trembled.
“Young man, I don’t know who you are, but what you just said brings back memories. The last time someone talked to me like that was thirty years ago.
“He had just reached Martial Sovereign level. He was full of confidence, bold and fearless, and came to challenge me. I thought he had promise and a future ahead of him, so I beat him but also gave him a few pointers.
“After that, he rose quickly, made a name for himself in the martial arts world, and was ranked as one of the Four Extremes. People even started calling him the ‘Jade Emperor p>
“Looking at you now reminds me of him. Only, he had better manners than you p>
By the end, there was already a cold glint in the Laughing Monk’s eyes.
Sean and the others looked surprised. None of them had known that the Jade Emperor had once challenged the Laughing Monk in his younger days.
If someone like Grayson–who stood at the top of the martial world–had once been just a rising junior in the Laughing Monk’s eyes, that said a lot about how strong the Monk really was.
“You’re talking about Grayson?” Leander let out a quiet laugh, his tone casual and a little mocking, “Grayson’s not bad, but he’s not in my league. A few days ago, on Glidewing Mountain, both he and Tsaric lost to me p>
“They lost to you?” The Laughing Monk froze, clearly surprised.
Grayson had lost to him thirty years ago, but had since become one of the top fighters in Astria. The Laughing Monk hadn’t fought him again, yet he had a good idea of Grayson’s current strength.

Grayson wasn’t as strong as him, but he wasn’t far behind either. Yet Leander claimed he had beaten him?
The Laughing Monk couldn’t help feeling unsure, but Sean, Elena, and the others were already staring hard at Leander, clearly shaken.
Claire and Serena covered their mouths in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. “He beat Grayson and Tsaric on Glidewing Mountain… Could it be p>
The Laughing Monk no longer looked relaxed. His face turned serious. “Who are you, really p>
Leander grinned, showing his pearly whites. “Jeff Ashcroft from Mornwick p>
