Chapter 215: The Arrival of Sky Breaker Academy
The Arrival of Sky Breaker Academy
After a while, Hektor walked over with a surprised expression. The old man’s usually calm eyes were now filled with unmistakable shock as he carefully sized up Leon from head to toe.
The battlefield behind them still trembled beneath the clash of monstrous forces. Flames roared across the heavens while black lightning ripped through the clouds like furious serpents. Every collision between the four pinnacle beasts sent violent shockwaves across the Land of Silence, shaking mountains and tearing cracks through the earth.
Yet at this moment, Hektor’s attention was no longer on the battle overhead.
It was on the young man standing before him.
Leon stood calmly beneath the crimson sky, his midnight robes embroidered with thin amethyst patterns fluttering gently in the heated wind. His long black hair swayed behind him while those purple eyes remained tranquil, as though the terrifying chaos around them was nothing more than ordinary scenery.
The more Hektor looked at him, the more absurd everything felt.
He had already learned about yesterday’s events from Jadis and the others. At first, he had not fully believed it. A sage Realm cultivator seriously injuring an Inferno Swift Bird with a single sword strike?
It sounded like a fantasy.
But after personally sensing Leon’s sword intent earlier, he finally understood.
The rumors had actually understated him.
"Amazing... truly amazing," Hektor muttered softly, unable to hide the admiration in his voice anymore. "Fellow cultivator Leon, your attainments in the sword can only be described as extraordinary. A sage Realm expert fighting a pinnacle beast across realms... such a thing has never happened in the history of the Forsaken Domain."
He paused for a moment, still looking at Leon as if trying to understand what kind of monster this young man truly was.
"It’s unbelievable."
The surrounding cultivators quietly inhaled cold air.
Even the experts from the Taylor family looked toward Leon differently now.
Crossing realms to fight was already difficult enough.
But crossing an entire major realm?
That was madness.
Harry Taylor stared at Leon with sparkling eyes full of worship.
"As expected of Senior Leon..." he whispered to himself excitedly. "Too cool."
Nearby, Fairy Fiona silently observed Leon as well.
Her azure hair danced softly in the wind, brushing against her cheeks while her teal eyes carried faint ripples of emotion. The dark-blue robe wrapped around her graceful figure fluttered gently, the slit at the side occasionally revealing glimpses of her long fair legs.
Earlier, she had only admired Leon because of his demeanor and talent.
But now...
The more she learned about him, the harder it became to look away.
Even her teacher, Hektor, who rarely praised anyone, was openly shocked.
That alone already explained everything.
Meanwhile, Hektor still felt disbelief lingering in his heart.
Back then, Zeon had already been terrifying enough to suppress an entire generation. Hektor had once thought that after Zeon’s death, the Amethyst Summit Division would slowly decline.
Who would have imagined that an even more monstrous existence would emerge?
A sage Realm attacking a pinnacle beast...
Just thinking about it made one’s scalp numb.
How courageous.
How arrogant.
And yet...
Leon had actually succeeded.
Facing Hektor’s praise, Leon merely smiled faintly.
"I was merely fortunate enough to succeed through a sneak attack," Leon replied humbly. "Respected Hektor, you praise me too much."
The corners of Hektor’s mouth twitched slightly.
Too humble.
This young man was simply too humble.
Most geniuses he had met throughout his life became arrogant after achieving the slightest accomplishment. Some even acted as though the heavens themselves revolved around them.
But Leon was different.
He possessed terrifying strength, yet his temperament remained calm and restrained.
That kind of personality was even more frightening.
A true monster was not someone who only possessed talent.
It was someone who possessed talent... and patience.
Hektor sighed inwardly.
His future achievements will absolutely not be inferior to Zeon’s.
Perhaps...
He may even surpass him.
As that thought surfaced in his mind, Hektor’s gaze unconsciously shifted toward Fiona in the distance.
At this moment, Fiona was speaking softly with several female students from the Soft Water Divine Sect. Occasionally, her clear laughter drifted through the air like flowing water.
The old man narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
The relationship between the Soft Water Divine Sect and Celestis Academy had always been decent, but not especially close.
However...
If they could form a deeper bond with the Amethyst Summit Division specifically...
The benefits would be unimaginable.
Especially with Leon’s future potential.
Hektor silently stroked his beard.
Perhaps... this old man should speak with that stubborn Sect Leader after returning.
His gaze lingered briefly on Fiona again before he sighed softly.
"This girl..." he muttered inwardly. "If she truly wishes for it, perhaps this old man can help push things along."
Of course, whether fate would bloom or not still depended on the younger generation themselves.
Hektor chuckled inwardly before turning back toward Leon.
"Haha, Fellow cultivator, you are too humble!" he laughed warmly. "I’ve traveled across the Forsaken Domain for thousands of years and seen countless geniuses. But this is the first time I’ve encountered someone like you."
He looked at Leon seriously.
"It would not be an exaggeration to say that you are the most stunning genius in history."
The surrounding people were instantly shocked by such praise.
Even Harrier Taylor’s eyes widened.
"The most stunning in history?" Elder Black muttered in disbelief.
That evaluation was simply too high.
But strangely enough...
After witnessing Leon’s feats, nobody could immediately refute it.
Leon only smiled helplessly.
"Respected Hektor exaggerates—"
Before he could finish speaking—
"Haha, the most stunning in history?"
A cold mocking laugh suddenly echoed from afar.
"Are you joking?"
The atmosphere froze instantly.
The wind itself seemed to stop.
Everyone turned toward the source of the voice.
Several figures slowly approached from the distance beneath the blazing red sky.
At the front stood an old man wearing dark robes embroidered with golden cloud patterns. His eyes were sharp and sinister, carrying obvious hostility.
Behind him followed Magnus and several others from the sky breaker Acedmy.
The moment Harry saw Magnus, his expression immediately changed.
"That old bastard came too..." he muttered nervously.
Meanwhile, Hektor’s previously warm expression slowly faded.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Leon remained calm.
But those purple eyes quietly flickered with cold light. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The smell of trouble had arrived.
