Chapter 121 The Soulbreaker to Prove My Martial Path

“Rolling Thunder Palm!”

Finished

As Alck shouted, a flash of blue light radiated from his palm, like a sudden storm of thunder, striking down toward Leander.

The crowd saw nothing but a flash of blue, followed by a violent force tearing through the air. It was Alek’s unstoppable Rolling Thunder Palm, powerful enough to rip apart anything in its path.

The palm strike rushed forward, its inner strength so intense that it obliterated several large trees in its path. Even some nearby buildings had their roofs torn off, and fences were shattered to pieces.

“So, this is the Rolling Thunder Palm. What terrifying power!”

Everyone watched in awe. They had assumed that Alek’s earlier strike, which had nearly destroyed Otto, was his full strength. Now, it was clear that it had only been a warm–up. This was Alek at full power, and it was nothing short of terrifying.

The raging force of the Rolling Thunder Palm surrounded Leander, but he remained still, showing no reaction as the deadly strike closed in on him. Seeing that, Alek channeled even more inner strength into the attack, driving its force to even greater speeds, almost rivaling real lightning.

Die, Ashcroft! Alek roared in his heart, and the spectators trembled as the attack came within half a foot of Leander. If this strike landed, even a Martial Sovereign would struggle to survive unscathed. Yet, Leander hadn’t even raised his defenses.

Everyone believed Alek was moments away from severely injuring him, but at that very moment, Leander finally moved.

He didn’t step aside or retreat. Instead, he shifted his feet ever so slightly and raised a single hand. With a smooth, almost casual motion, he sliced downward as if cutting through something delicate.

The effortless gesture seemed devoid of inner strength, but wherever his hand passed, the very air–and Alek’s seemingly unstoppable palm force–split apart like butter, cleaved into two

halves.

“What?!”

A chorus of gasps filled the air, and even Alek’s face twisted in disbelief. His mighty Rolling Thunder Palm, powerful enough to crush a car into scrap metal, had been sliced apart with a simple wave of Leander’s hand. What kind of power was that?!

As Alek stood in shock, Leander’s form blurred like a ghost. In an instant, he was in front of Alek, his hand transformed into a sharp blade, cutting down diagonally toward him. The speed of that move surpassed even Alek’s own Eight Trigrams Step, leaving him no time to fully evade. All he could do was raise his arm in defense.

Their arms collided with a heavy thud, and Alek grunted in pain. It was as if lightning had struck his body, forcing him to retreat more than ten yards. His feet dragged deep trenches into the earth before he finally stopped, one foot sinking half a foot into the soil.

“How… How did he get this strong?” Alek’s mind reeled, his disbelief reaching its peak.

He had used his family’s signature techniques–the Sturdy Finger and the Rolling Thunder Palm—and had gone all out in his attacks, with no reservations. Yet, Leander had effortlessly countered his every move. With just a single chop, Leander had broken through Alek’s full- powered strike, and now Alek could barely withstand the force of Leander’s counter.

The force in Leander’s arm was like a primal beast, untamed and overwhelming. It surged toward Alek with the unstoppable momentum of a flood, shaking his very core.

The surrounding Grandmasters were left stunned, their eyes wide with shock. Alek’s most powerful strike had done nothing to Leander, while Leander’s casual counter had sent Alek flying over ten yards, forcing him to bury his feet into the ground to absorb the impact. The force behind that blow was akin to being hit by a speeding truck.

“Is this the best the Peterson family’s techniques have to offer?”

Leander slipped one hand into his pocket while his other hand casually waved a finger in the air, clearly unimpressed. He had expected that fighting a Martial Sovereign would show him something new, something exciting. But Alek’s techniques were disappointingly ordinary and far from the challenge he had hoped for.

“To think Jeff Ashcroft is so powerful!”

The representatives of the six families were all overwhelmed by fear and awe, unable to utter a single word. It was almost laughable now to think they had been discussing how to divide the Silverleaf earlier when its owner was someone they had no right to provoke,

Even Alek, a genuine Martial Sovereign, was being completely overpowered by Leander. How could any of them hope to last even a single round against Leander, let alone think of stealing from him? It was simply absurd.

Had Leander truly decided to confront them earlier, certainly none of them would still be standing on their own two feet. His earlier words, “I’ve already been merciful,” suddenly carried a weight none of them doubted anymore.

Lorcan was filled with a deep sense of defeat. Though he had already reached the level of a

Grandmaster, a remarkable achievement in Astria, in front of Leander, he was like a child in front of a giant. With his current abilities, it would take at least five years before he could even hope to step into the realm of a Martial Sovereign. Yet here was Leander, already dominating a Martial Sovereign at his age. Who could imagine what heights Leander would reach in five years?

“So, this is Jeff Ashcroft…” Theresa’s heart trembled uncontrollably.

Leander’s strength and imposing aura, far beyond anything she had ever seen, surpassed even the most talented geniuses she had encountered. Even Ethan, whom she had always held in high regard, paled in comparison to Leander. Not even the Nine Martial Geniuses of Astria could stand against him.

She recalled Leander’s earlier remark, “Ethan Ashcroft and Claire Leigh won’t be able to carry the future of Astria’s martial world,” and suddenly, it all made sense. As long as Leander was alive, the future of Astria’s martial world would revolve around him alone. Ethan and the others, while impressive, simply couldn’t compare to someone who could single–handedly suppress a Martial Sovereign like Leander.

“I admit, I truly underestimated you, Ashcroft!” Alek’s eyes grew more serious. Leander’s power had far exceeded his expectations. Alek had already used several of his family’s best techniques, yet Leander hadn’t even employed a single martial technique–he seemed to be toying with him, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Aside from his fight with Grayson of the Four Extremes, this was the first time Alek had felt such helplessness in battle. To think that someone not even twenty years old could rival the Four Extremes was beyond imagination. If Leander were allowed to grow, it was possible that even Gareth’s dominance of Astria’s martial world could be shaken.

“What a disappointment you are,” Leander said softly, shaking his head. While Alek had achieved the level of a Martial Sovereign, in comparison to Leander, he wasn’t worth much. Leander hadn’t even begun to fight seriously.

Alek’s face darkened as he realized Leander didn’t consider him a threat. Though his heart was burning with anger, he suppressed it, knowing full well that continuing the fight would only lead to his defeat.

“Ashcroft,” Alek began, forcing himself to calm down. “We are both Martial Sovereigns. There’s no need to fight to the death. I acknowledge my offense today and offer you my apologies. I will leave immediately and never set foot in Tardide Valley again. How does that sound?”

Despite his reluctance, Alek bowed deeply to Leander, conceding defeat. This bow was an acknowledgment of defeat–a Martial Sovereign of Cloudveil humbling himself before

Leander.

The crowd was utterly stunned. Leander had forced a Martial Sovereign into humility and submission–something unheard of in Astria’s martial history. If this news spread, it would

send shockwaves throughout the entire martial world.

Alek had hoped that his offer would satisfy Leander, but Leander’s gaze remained unchanged from start to finish.

Tve already said, Leander replied coldly, “today, I will kill a Martial Sovereign!”

Alek’s expression froze, and Leander’s fingers slowly curled into a fist as malice swept outward like a tidal wave. The onlookers turned pale, their faces drained of color, their eyes filled with terror. Leander, it seemed, had no intention of letting Alek go. He was determined to kill him.

This fist is the first of my Trinity Strike Technique, called ‘Soulbreaker.‘ I’ve used it to slay beasts from every corner of the world!” Leander’s voice was calm yet filled with resolve. “Today. I will use this fist to kill you and prove my martial path!”
