"Leave none alive? Brant Fairbanks, you're being too arrogant!"

Riker Leopold and Granger Ridge stood back to back, forming a defense.

"I have the right to be arrogant." Brant Fairbanks said nonchalantly, "You two are martial artists, so why not see for yourselves how strong they've become?"

The moment he finished speaking, those martial artists started to close in.

"How can this be?" The heads of the book academies felt it, utterly bewildered.

They knew the abilities of martial arts masters very well.

But the martial arts masters from Ocean Academy were clearly much stronger than those from any other academy.

It seemed as if their strength had suddenly more than doubled!

"How about it? Is my strength enough to delve into the South and eliminate those fierce beasts?" Brant Fairbanks's face was full of pride.

Upon returning, he immediately used the method of the West Tower, transforming his loyalists by implanting a microcosm within them.

This caused many to experience a surge in power!

The already formidable martial arts masters, after transformation, reached even greater heights!

When Brant Fairbanks returned, most people from the academies were away due to various matters.

This practically presented him with the perfect opportunity for a power grab!

Without much effort, Brant Fairbanks turned the martial arts masters he groomed and became the de facto supreme leader of Ocean Academy.

"How audacious, to commit such treacherous acts in Crystal-Book Court!"

Along with a voice came three descending figures.

These three were martial arts masters from Crystal-Book Court!

Brant Fairbanks's actions on foreign turf couldn't escape the eyes of these martial arts masters.

In the three great academies, martial arts masters held very high status.

They were tasked with upholding academic rules and protecting the academies.

But Brant Fairbanks never intended a sneak attack.

He wanted to test his results!

"Go."

Facing the martial arts masters of Crystal-Book Court, Brant Fairbanks waved his hand, and a middle-aged man from Ocean Academy stepped forward.

"Riker Leopold, Granger Ridge! Watch closely! The martial arts masters from our three academies have always been on par! But today, everything has changed."

After speaking, Brant Fairbanks took a step back, creating space.

"Prepare to die!"

The middle-aged martial arts master from Ocean Academy attacked instantly!

In an instant, a fierce wind swept through!

It was hard to keep one's eyes open.

Riker Leopold even felt that standing was difficult, as waves of chaotic forces kept crashing against him!

Amidst the wind, the martial arts master from Ocean Academy kept attacking.

The speed was such that only shadows could be seen!

These winds weren't true winds, but rather the result of spiritual power surging!

This martial arts master wielded spiritual power with ease, and the techniques used were unprecedented!

In less than five seconds.

The martial arts master from Crystal-Book Court was knocked flying!

"Be careful, his power is immense! The last time we dueled, it was a draw. In just a few months, what in the world happened!" This martial arts master wore a look of shock and disbelief.

They were all young prodigies, selected after rigorous screening, becoming martial arts masters.

The difference between them was minuscule!

Yet in this recent bout, they clearly felt an explosive increase in their opponent's power!

"Haha! I have said it, those who follow me will prosper, those who defy me will perish!" Brant Fairbanks nodded in satisfaction, pointing proudly at Granger Ridge and Riker Leopold. "This is the confidence of someone named Fairbanks! A spiritual power gathering art that can overturn the world, an all-powerful cultivation technique! Tell me, can I not sweep through the martial arts world?"

"Is this...a technique from the forbidden book?" Riker Leopold was the first to react.

"Exactly, we were once ordered to review the forbidden book! Brant Fairbanks, do you truly disregard the ancestral teachings?" A martial arts master from Cold Cloud Book Court appeared out of nowhere, sternly reprimanding: "Brant Fairbanks, don't be so stubborn! Otherwise, you'll face eternal damnation!"

"What is there for me to fear? You'll damn me eternally?" He scoffed coldly, pointing at the crowd in front of him: "You, you, and even you? Surviving today is questionable for you, yet you dare to point fingers at me? To tell you the truth, every one from Ocean Academy will be like them!"

Brant Fairbanks had already implanted a microcosm within all his loyalists to gather spiritual power!

He initially thought controlling Ocean Academy would require some effort, but who could've guessed that everyone in the academy who might have posed a threat to him was absent!

It's as if heaven itself was aiding him!

"Don't be foolish."

Just as Brant Fairbanks was reveling in his triumph, a cold and familiar voice rang out from behind him.

Brant Fairbanks quickly turned around, spotting several familiar faces!

"Curtis Channing?"

He then looked at another person. "Ragnar Frost? You're from Ocean Academy yet collude with these Black-wind Academy traitors. No wonder I didn't see you when I returned to the academy. So, you defected!"

Ragnar Frost, the old curmudgeon, was a roadblock on Brant Fairbanks's path to power.

Curiously, after he returned, he found Ragnar Frost missing.

"Brant Fairbanks, we've already investigated; it was you who stole the forbidden book years ago and framed Curtis Channing! You beast, how blind I was to follow you for years!" Ragnar Frost pointed angrily at Brant Fairbanks and cursed: "You ungrateful wretch!"

Despite the tirade, Brant Fairbanks remained unfazed. "Ragnar Frost, you align with traitors and now want to bite back at me? Sorry, but I'll just deal with you! Housecleaning! Today's events are better regarded as you two heads along with Curtis Channing plotting to destroy the academy, and I, Fairbanks, in order to unify the academy, decide to clean house! While also fixing the three great academies!"

"I can't take on that responsibility." Curtis Channing stood with his hands behind his back, speaking cheerfully: "Your crimes were exposed long before we arrived."

"Haha, who would believe you? A traitor runs to the academy claiming I am the problem?" Brant Fairbanks laughed, practically bending over. "Curtis Channing, you've become like a cornered dog, losing your mind!"

"But what if it's me?" A figure slowly stepped out from behind Curtis Channing. "Brant Fairbanks, I really never expected you to be such an ungrateful person!"

This person removed a mask, revealing a face filled with disappointment and anger. "I faked my death years ago, secretly investigating! After all these years, I've finally uncovered the truth, clearing my son's name! Your heart is truly malicious!"

He was the former administrator of the academy, Curtis Channing's father!

"You're... not dead?" Brant Fairbanks was somewhat shocked to see this face.

If Curtis Channing's father testified against him in the academy, many people would believe it.

"Then don't blame me for resolving all of you!" He gestured: "Kill! Leave none alive!"

"Hold on." Curtis Channing unbuttoned his top, taking a deep breath!

He roared!

A dragon's roar!

This was the technique taught to him by Julius Reed to counter Brant Fairbanks's techniques!

Pff!

At the instant the dragon's roar erupted!

The altered people from Ocean Academy turned pale, blood gushing out!

The microcosms within them, all shattered!

Even Brant Fairbanks felt the raging currents within him, like they were about to explode!

At the same time!

In the dense forest in the South.

The initially deathly still and eerie place echoed with the sound of a dragon's roar!

There were roars from within the forest!

Immediately after.

Many fierce beasts rose, their eyes filled with vicious intent, gathering toward the southern city walls.

At the head of the giant beast, there was unexpectedly a faint mouse apparition.
