Clay was ecstatic! He hadn't expected Lawrence to be this dumb. It was certainly a great surprise for him.The Dominion Vanguard had coveted the southern region of the northern frontier all along. If he could win it from Lawrence, his reputation among the Dominion Vanguard would skyrocket. This would have a huge impact on his future leadership of the Dominion Vanguard!"We need to watch out! It might be a trap. Why would that old geezer readily agree to hand over the southern region of the northern frontier?" Felix warned Clay in a hushed tone."Don't tell me you're worried that I can't defeat a loser like Ashton, Mr. Aguilar!" Clay said dismissively. "No matter what kind of trap they're trying to set up, it's all pointless when I'm clearly more powerful!""You're not wrong about that…""This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Mr. Aguilar! We've been trying to seize control of the northern frontier for over a decade now, to no avail. This is our greatest chance to get the ball r

Ashton's punch tore through the air, shattering the protective barrier Clay had hurriedly formed out of inner energy. His fist smashed right into Clay's face.Immediately, a dent formed on Clay's cheek, and blood splattered from his mouth. His body flipped in the air twice before he managed to regain his footing and back away in terror, putting some distance between him and Ashton.He sucked in ragged breaths. The arrogance in his eyes was gone, replaced entirely by shock and fear. To this moment, he still had no idea when Ashton had even thrown the punch.How could anyone be this fast? He didn't even get a chance to defend himself.Clay's cheek was throbbing like mad. When he heard Kayla squealing in joy, he felt as though Ashton had utterly stomped on his dignity. He had never ever suffered such humiliation before!"I'll give you a chance to concede defeat. If you get on your knees and beg for mercy, I'll spare your life," Ashton said as he eyed Clay condescendingly.Clay's sco

Kayla's expression stiffened, and she felt her heart jump to her throat when she noticed that Ashton was trying to meet Clay's most powerful strike head-on.Ashton's fingers shot through the air and, with pinpoint precision, grabbed the spear as it hurtled toward him. All at once, the two mighty forces clashed loudly, seemingly causing a rift in the atmosphere itself.But soon, everything settled down.Ashton had caught the force-laden spear right in his hand, and like a mouse in a trap, it couldn't move at all. The light rapidly dimmed as the force the spear was made out of died out as well."How could this be…"Clay's face kept twitching.No matter how hard he tried to keep pouring more of his inner energy into the spear, it couldn't break out of Ashton's iron grip. The divine ability he was proudest of failed to be of any threat to Ashton!Just then, Ashton gave a quick squeeze, and the spear instantly turned to dust.The torrential backlash struck Clay hard. After sputterin

Clay's ten fingers clawed at the ground, leaving blood in their wake. He struggled with all his might, to no avail. As he felt Ashton's foot grinding down on him, Clay's eyes only became even more bloodshot. Like a defeated dog, his life was now completely at Ashton's mercy."Let go of me at once, Ashton!" Clay roared.He couldn't accept the fact that he, who'd never lost a fight in his life before, had suffered such a crushing defeat."Let go of you? Why should I?" Ashton asked coldly."Because I'm the future head of the Dominion Vanguard!" Clay roared. "My father is the deputy head of the Dom—""And what does that have to do with me?" Ashton questioned mockingly. "Out here in the combat arena, all that matters is determining the victor. No one cares about your background!"He raised his foot and stomped down hard.Clay's head slammed straight into a crack in the arena. Blood flew across his face, streaming down from his wounds and drenching his whole body."I'm going to kill

Felix's footsteps faltered, and his expression shifted. He couldn't avoid it after all."Hand over the Primordium Pill. We signed an agreement, remember? I'm sure the vanguards don't go back on their word, right?" Lawrence remarked."But of course, it doesn't matter if you intend to go back on the agreement. If you refuse to hand over the Primordium Pill, I'll just kill all of you, and the pill will be mine anyway."Smiling, he extended his hand toward Felix."The Dominion Vanguard won't forget this grudge!"Felix drew a deep breath. With a flick of his hand, he hurled the Primordium Pill, which was brimming with powerful spiritual energy, toward Lawrence, his chest tightening with pain.The Primordium Pill was an indisputable, priceless treasure. This trip ended up being a total loss for them, and who knew what else would happen after this?Now that Lawrence had the Primordium Pill, he didn't stop Felix and Clay from leaving. He broke into a satisfied grin, the results of the f
