"Tell me, everyone." Kaze smiled mysteriously, "What was it like to hear Malta admit that we, a small faction a week ago, was the number one threat to their country?" It took less than a second before a familiar voice answered the emperor's question. "It... was... AMAZING!" Larkin yelled to the sky, "I feel ASHAMED that I thought Immortal Skye couldn't get more incredible. I've never been so wrong!" A fraction of a second later, the elites detonated in wild cheering. He addressed them in the arena…-

The emotional gravity in the atmosphere multiplied after the emperor declared potential war, weighing everyone down. It was hard to breathe. Kane looked away, comprehending the weight of his actions. Calling out Kaze, known for his power and bold and decisive threats of action, was a horrible move. "If an apology isn't enough, what can we do to make amends?" General Michaels asked with a beating heart, trying to salvage the situation. "I want you to be honest with your soldiers." Kaze demanded, "Tell…

Once Brad's foot connected with Aaron's ribs, he understood his own power for the first time. His Soul Qi-protected shoes flew straight through the man's ribs and kicked his lung directly. It was a gruesome feeling that left him rattled as he watched the man fly a fifty across the arena. Luckily, the emperor waved his hand and rebuilt Aaron's lung so he could breathe without the threat of dying. However, he stopped there, allowing the soldier to feel excruciating pain.

"Let's go over the format again." The emperor announced to 600 people from the top of a hilltop. He, the elites, and the special forces soldiers stood above a sizeable 200-by-200-foot training arena. It was a lifeless area with a brown dirt floor enclosed by 18-foot t-walls. Inside the walls were two soldiers—Brad Hall, the calm blonde athlete elite, and Aaron Levingston, the red-haired man who gave the demonstration after him. "The fight will continue until someone is injured or deemed dead." Kaze…

Kaze oversaw the training the next day with the soldiers and faction members. It started with the soldiers learning , the same breathing earth technique used by all his members. Watching the Lockheed students train highly disciplined elites was comical. Also, seeing the soldiers accept feedback despite the disorder was strangely wholesome. That said, the scene was also tense because both groups were subtly competing at all times. "Next up, offensive techniques!" The emperor clapped, "Soldiers, you are…

Kane and his soldiers sat around their camps with wry smiles. The humiliation they faced that day was devastating, and now they couldn't forget about it. The sound decibels of the party raging in the distance sharply increased , making the soldiers cringe. "Is that man purposely encouraging the partying to get more extreme!?" Kane cried, breaking his composure. … Inside the second mansion's main ballroom, a rave was raging in full force. Faction members swung blinking lightsabers and glowsticks…

during the rapture. So I hope you get wrapped up in the passion and fervor.] — —July 1st, 2032 | Strategy Meeting— "Wait… you want to broadcast their humiliation?" Jake asked nervously, "Won't the soldiers, you know, hate us for that?" "No. Physically weak as they are, these soldiers are not sensitive individuals." Kaze replied, "They're accustomed to hierarchies. Showing them that they're at the bottom again will make them work harder to gain our respect. As for televising it, modern…

A hush washed over the special forces soldiers. Unlike most soldiers, they could understand an opponent's strength. They used that information to strategize and prepare for operations ahead of time. Therefore, a segment of the soldiers bowed out, and the remaining hundred soldiers began strategizing. Kaze watched in interest, listening to their battle strategies unfold. They were great strategies that would demonstrate their combat experience and training— —if they were fighting mortals. Once…

Kane looked at General Michaels with a beating heart, listening to the war fervor spreading through the area. "Should we shut this down?" The general studied Kaze's expressions with a pensive gaze. "We can't. If anyone hears an obvious trap and feels confident about jumping in, they deserve a wake-up call." Kane winced and looked at his soldiers with a pitying gaze. Only he had seen the emperor's strength firsthand and didn't underestimate those he chose. "Are we limited to cultivation techniques?" A…
