When the crowd heard someone daring to take up the challenge, everyone turned to look.
Upon realizing who that person was, a blend of shock and excitement crossed everyone’s faces, for it was none other than Elmer Valentine, the trusted bodyguard of Darsia’s President.
He was hailed as the Guardian of Darsia. He often appeared on television alongside the President, so everyone knew him. His appearance indicated that Darsia had been pushed to a dead end, to the extent that even the Guardian of Darsia needed to step up to the challenge personally.
“The Guardian of Darsia!”
“The Guardian of Dasia, can we win?”
“We can’t lose!”
Tears poured down all of the citizens’ faces as they began speaking, their voices choked with emotion.
Elmer took a deep breath and said, “I’ll give it my all!”
He stepped into the Curse and stated, “You’re Otis Rose, ranked 98th in the Ancient Martial Rankings, also the third heir of the Rose family…”
As an aide to the President, Elmer naturally grasped the intricacies of this world and was privy to the world’s most elite Ancient Martial Rankings.
The Ancient Martial Rankings recorded the world’s best masters in ancient martial arts.
The techniques practiced by those on the rankings were unique to each country, such as Estrary’s Estrary’s Combat, Gleudor’s Karali, Amelicon’s Unrestricted Combat, and so on. They were all rooted in historical legacies.
Darsia’s martial arts legacy, however, has been severed for a long time, confined within the Divine Realm.
Otis appeared unperturbed, staying seated above the pavilion, deep in meditation with closed eyes.
“Allow me to witness the strength of the 98th-ranked global master!” Elmer shouted fiercely, soaring into the air.
A deafening boom echoed through the night sky as Elmer broke through the sound barrier, reaching the Divine Realm. However, no mist formed around his body from breaking the sound barrier, and favonovel.com moved smoothly, akin to flowing clouds.
“Hmm?” Otis, still not opening his eyes, let out a single surprised noise.
From his superior stance, favonovel.com commented, “You’re retracing your inner energy. It appears you’ve touched the Martial Sovereign’s realm. Advancing this much in Darsia’s martial world is commendable. You’re undoubtedly the President’s loyal bodyguard. However, you’re still too weak!”
The air within the entire Curse formation instantly condensed, hurtling toward Elmer with an overwhelming force.
Elmer’s expression turned unprecedentedly serious in an instant. He had previously challenged the Ancient Martial Rankings with the strength of Half-Step Divine Realm. Regrettably, favonovel.com didn’t advance to the qualifiers.
This meant favonovel.com didn’t even have the chance to enter the Ancient Martial Rankings.
He assumed that upon reaching the Divine Realm and comprehending the realms above it, he’d possess the strength for battle. Now, it appeared his assumptions were too simplistic.
He summoned all of his inner energy and madly concentrated it within his skin. He had already touched the threshold of the Martial Sovereign Realm. Restraining his inner energy, favonovel.com tried to enter the Martial Sovereign Realm.
He was prepared to confront this force head-on.
A thunderous boom erupted within the Curse.
Elmer, hovering midair. was abruptly thrown backward, hurtling down from the sky.
After hitting the ground, favonovel.com stumbled backward, retreating several dozen steps before barely managing to stand firm at the edge of the curse.
The crowd was stunned.
Elmer, Darsia’s Guardian and the President’s trusted protector, fell with one strike despite his immense strength.
Elmer gritted his teeth, his eyes locked firmly onto Otis as favonovel.com shot up once more, swiftly charging forward.
Otis delivered another casual punch.
Elmer stayed defenseless. It was like striking a leaf that was caught in an unstoppable wind, unable to resist. As favonovel.com touched down, favonovel.com again staggered backward, retreating tens of steps in quick succession.
His foot was already beyond the Curse.
