Ashton arched his brows. “Why have they shown up this time?”
After glancing at him, Kayla said grimly, “They came to challenge you to a duel to the death again. They said you’re a coward who won’t dare accept the challenge.
“Ever since Clay lost to you, he’s been dying to salvage his dignity. This time, he’s even proclaimed that he wants to have the fight at the military base and defeat you in front of all the soldiers, the vanguards, and the legionnaires.”
Neil added, “Apparently, the head of the Dominion Vanguard has agreed to this as well. I’m guessing it’s because they want to start making a move against the Legion.”
“Where are they now?” Ashton scoffed.
To think that a bunch of useless trash had the nerve to come knocking on his door to challenge him.
“They’re inside. Grandpa’s waiting for you.”
Kayla hesitated before muttering, “I don’t know how he did it, but Clay has somehow reached the transcendent realm. In fact, he’s now a peak transcendent realm expert and terrifyingly powerful!
“If you’re not totally confident, you’d better not let him get under your skin. Just refuse to accept the challenge. It’s not like he can do anything to you.”
Ashton reached out and patted Kayla’s head. “The honor of the Legion is my honor as well. Anyone who dares to humiliate the Legion needs to pay a heavy price for that.”
He stepped into the main hall.
Kayla’s eyes glittered as she watched him from behind. Somehow, he seemed even more captivating now, making her feel even more drawn toward him.
Meanwhile, Neil’s eyes had widened. Kayla didn’t show any sign of resistance when Ashton patted her on the head. Something was going on between them!
“Mr. Clarkson Senior, has the Legion really fallen so far from grace that it doesn’t even dare to accept a challenge? If that’s the case, you’ll have to accept the lingerie and the white flag instead!
“Henceforth, any legionnaire who sees a vanguard will have to back away immediately!” Clay declared with arrogant confidence.
With the help of special training and boosted by some secret techniques, his strength and abilities had been elevated to their limits. He was now a peak transcendent realm expert.
All he needed to do now was to defeat Ashton in front of everyone. That victory would mend his fractured cultivation resolve, allow him to break free from his shackles, reach the divine realm, and become a true legend.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to force Ashton to accept the challenge today. The head of the Dominion Vanguard had already given his approval for this plan as well.
Clay was going to become the most formidable weapon of the Dominion Vanguard. He was going to make the

biggest contributions to the organization. No one would ever question his position as the future leader!
Lawrence’s eyes remained half–lidded, as if he were barely awake. He didn’t seem at all triggered by Clay’s
words.
After all, having lived for as long as he had, Clay’s attempts to provoke him were far too pathetic. He had other considerations to make.
“Mr. Clarkson Senior!”
Just then, Ashton came in. He glanced at Clay in derision, as if eyeing a noisy fly, the contempt in his eyes unmistakable.
Sensing the scorn in Ashton’s gaze, Clay was infuriated. He unleashed the might of his power as a transcendent realm expert, hoping that the pressure would make it impossible for Ashton to take another step forward.
However, as if nothing had happened, Ashton walked up to Lawrence and took his pulse. Moments later, he smiled. “You still have to take your medication on schedule, Mr. Clarkson Senior. Take good care of your health.
“You have to watch as the Legion grows stronger, stepping over the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel to become the most powerful organization in Casoria!”
“Hahaha! Of course!” Lawrence replied.
“How delusional! Soon, the Legion will simply be a footnote in history!” Clay scoffed before brandishing the deathmatch letter. “You came just in time, Ashton. Answer me now. Do you choose to accept the challenge, or will you accept the lingerie and the white flag instead?”
