Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 923

The accident in the Capital had progressed beyond James’ expectations.

In his initial speculation, he estimated that it would take much longer before the Capital reached its breaking point. However, it happened much sooner than he expected.

Maxine said that the situation was dire. She explained that countless martial artists remained hidden in society as civilians. Some were everyday office workers, some were factory workers, and some could even be street sweepers.

A thousand years ago, Sol had countless sects and martial art families. After a thousand years, the number of martial artists gradually decreased, but martial arts had been passed down to only one successor in each generation.

James knew that these martial artists were known as ancient martial artists.

According to Maxine’s speculations, there were currently about one million martial artists in Sol, and at least 50 thousand were first-rank grandmasters who cultivated True Energy.

Although the numbers were not significant, they were overpowering when united. It was not an exaggeration to say that these 50 thousand people could conquer the world if given proper equipment.

“James.” Maxine looked at James with a serious expression. “Grandpa just called me and explained that the situation is dire this time. It’s even worse than when the martial artists besieged the Gu Sect a hundred years ago. If not handled well, Sol might fall into a crisis as it did a century ago, and hell will break lose.”

James replied helplessly, “If you tell me an enemy army is gathering to attack us, I could rush back to the Southern Plains and lead my troops to fight back. However, I’m powerless in a situation like this. I’ve only just cultivated my True Energy. On top of that, it’s still feeble. What am I supposed to do in the face of the Ancient Four and countless major forces?”

Maxine said, “Grandpa asked me to inform you that you must enter the fifth rank by Christmas. Inside the Cadens’ library is a set of unique martial techniques left by one of our ancestors, an eighth-rank grandmaster. The martial art technique is called the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. This sword technique is potent, but you would have to be at least a fifth-rank grandmaster to learn it.

“Not many people in the Cadens are qualified to practice this technique. So far, only Grandpa and our Grand Patriarch have successfully learned the technique. However, none of them has grasped the true foundation of it.

“Grandpa said you must reach the fifth rank and learn the technique as soon as possible. Even if you can’t turn the tables during the martial art conference, you would at least be able to disrupt the situation.”
