As soon as Solon finished speaking, the two long swords in his hands merged into one.

In an instant, the steel long sword cracked into pieces, leaving only a light sword in Solon's hand.

Then, his white hair turned black under the strong familiar energy.

Behind him, eighteen giant apes held long swords and formed a battle formation. Their killing aura was so strong that it could leave cuts on the arena floor.

In the audience area, Joseph, the judge sitting behind Arthur, stood up immediately, his face full of excitement."I never thought I would see Solon deliver this sword strike in my lifetime!"

Judge Arthur frowned. "Is this the same sword strike that defeated him back then?"

Judge Joseph nodded. "Exactly. One sword strike destroyed two swords. No matter what happens next, Solon has no way back. The result will be decided soon."

Philip General and Darwin General, watching Solon's sword strike, silently gave him a thumbs-up.

Old Corleone stood up immediately upon seeing this move, his heart full of excitement."That sword strike from Solon once made me give up my dream of becoming a swordsman. Now I see him use that same technique again. My sword heart feels alive again!"

Uesugi Shin, standing behind old Corleone, looked at Solon with admiration."A real man should learn to wield a sword! This battle, Logan might lose."

Duke of Storm Wind City sighed."A man who has spent a lifetime chasing the way of the sword, and now he has used all his five decades of experience to deliver this one strike. Who can stop him?"

The audience around them all clenched their fists in tension, focusing their eyes on the arena.

"Is this really reasonable? Logan is still a high school student, after all."

"So what? This is the most amazing sword strike from the Human Federation. Losing isn't a shame."

"You're right! I think Solon's sword strike deserves to be recognized more than Logan's victory!"

On the arena, Logan stood straight, facing Solon's blade.

Even though the sword energy from Solon kept cutting off Logan's hair, he remained calm and unmoved.

When Solon saw Logan staying calm, he showed a surprised expression."Good kid! You deserve to face this sword strike! Take it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in Solon's hand shot up into the sky, like a whip hitting Logan. Where the sword light passed, everything turned into nothingness.

Logan faced the sword light and raised his Moon-Cleaving Magic Blade. He said softly."Black Dragon Combat Technique!"

In terms of fighting skills, especially sword techniques, Logan could never catch up with Solon. But that didn't mean his close combat abilities were weak.

In the past month, Logan had spent a lot of time studying the Battle Style of the Ashen Dragon tribe, and he had also studied the runes on the Black Dragon Skeletons.

At this moment, the Moon-Cleaving Magic Blade in Logan's hand seemed to have wings. It cut through the air in a curve, rushing toward Solon's strongest sword strike.

At the moment of the clash, Solon looked at Logan with a look of admiration."Great sword technique!"

After the clash, there was no sound in the arena. Only a deep black crack appeared.

A lot of space energy collapsed, forming small black holes that were pulled into the sub-space through the crack.

Logan stood on the arena, looking coldly at Solon and said."You lost."

At this moment, Solon's hair had turned back to silver white. His eyes lost the sharpness they had just had. The light sword he had held in his hand was now just a hilt.

Solon looked at the empty hilt, then at Logan, who had no sword in his hand. He sighed."That last strike, I won."

Logan nodded."You're right. Your sword technique is amazing. I really couldn't match you just now."

Solon laughed bitterly."It's a pity. Although I beat you in sword technique, I still lost the arena match."

As he finished speaking, Solon closed his eyes and fell back, falling straight onto the arena.

All over his body, many small cracks opened, and blood sprayed out.

Medical staff rushed onto the arena to treat the head of the Adventurer Guild.

Logan stood in the center of the arena, under the eyes of all the audience, walking toward Solon.

Right after that, Logan directed the energy from the life crystal at his forehead, quickly healing Solon's wounds.

During this process, the audience all held their breath, still not able to recover from the shock they had just felt.

Until they saw Solon open his eyes again, speaking with great difficulty."I never thought I would lose to two supernovas in my life."

Solon's voice wasn't loud, but it still reached the ears of the audience.

"Solon, the leader, lost? He just admitted it?"

"Oh my god, did Logan really beat Solon, the leader?"

"Solon is known as the strongest close-range fighter under the Saint stage, a famous familiar tamer!"

"Oh, this might be the most valuable supernova in the history of the Human Federation!"

Amid all the murmurs, Elder Corleone, Darwin General, and Judge Arthur all walked onto the arena together.

Elder Corleone leaned on his cane, looking at Logan with excitement in his eyes, his voice shaking."How many years has it been? The Human Federation finally has another supernova."

Logan looked at the old man he didn't know, and politely nodded."Thank you for taking care of me, Corleone family."

Elder Corleone shook his head and sighed."Just take care of Evelynna. If you can, maybe take Natalia too. The Corleone family did her wrong. If you take her in, it's like repaying a debt."

Pfft!

Logan was just about to feel awkward when Darwin General laughed from the side."Old Corleone, this is a supernova arena, not a matchmaker's corner. Be serious!"

Judge Arthur rubbed his hands over the lawbook, acting as if nothing had happened."The Federation law says one man, one wife. What you just said, I didn't hear a word."

Elder Corleone stomped his foot hard."Young people dating, not getting married. The Military Committee and the Judgment Court can't control that!"

Logan felt the situation getting tense, and quickly changed the subject."Can we start the Blessing Ceremony now?"

Hearing Logan's words, the three of them stopped arguing.

Judge Arthur turned to Logan and said."Logan, in the name of the Federation's highest judgment, I will measure your ability and achievements!"

"Your talent and accomplishments have been proven. The Federation will grant you a new power, and you will take on the mission of protecting the Federation."

"Do you accept?"

Logan placed his hand on Arthur's lawbook and said seriously."I will fight for the human race all my life!"

Darwin General drew his sword and placed it on Logan's shoulder. "Since you have made a promise to the Federation's lawbook, I, in the name of the Federation Military Committee, grant you the power to use the highest force of the Human Federation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in Darwin's hand shone with a bright light.

Even in the daytime, the light was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.

Many cameras at the scene melted from the bright light, and the live stream on phones also turned into a white screen.

While netizens were discussing when Logan would finally inherit the highest fighting power of the Human Federation, Elder Corleone came forward with the last remaining Sacred Fire of the Human Federation."Logan! In the name of the Federation's Council, I have brought you the Sacred Fire! You will be bathed in the belief of the human race and take on the final will of the humans!"

After saying that, Elder Corleone opened the box, and a golden flame flew straight at Logan.

The high temperature pushed Elder Corleone, Arthur, and Darwin back, leaving only Logan wrapped in the Sacred Fire, burning.

Logan was completely covered in the Sacred Fire, but he didn't feel any pain — instead, he felt very comfortable.

He felt his body being purified by the Sacred Fire, and threads of pure soul power entered his body through the fire.

This feeling of transformation was just like when he was wrapped in the [Fire Seed] before.

Soon, these powers entered Logan's soul core.

The stars that had been engraved on the soul core were lit up one by one by this power.

At this moment, Logan finally realized that there were layers of magic arrays inside the core of his soul.

The first magic array, next to the five stars of the apprentice level, suddenly lit up two more stars.

Following that, the five stars of the elite level also lit up two more stars.

Then, the sixth and seventh stars of the Master stage and the Legend stage were also activated.

But Logan still couldn't feel the path to the Saint stage.

As more power from the Sacred Fire filled his body, his aura grew stronger and stronger.

Elder Corleone, Arthur, and Darwin looked at this scene and frowned.

Natalia suddenly appeared and walked to their side."Why isn't he breaking through? If this keeps going, the belief power inside Logan won't be enough!"

Philip General also walked to the center of the arena."I can feel that new power is waking up inside Logan. He probably needs more belief power."

Arthur frowned when he heard this.

He picked up his phone and asked toward the screen."I know you've been watching my phone. What's going on with Logan right now?"

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, his phone screen lit up with static.

Then, a rough voice came through the static."Let my people enter the arena. They'll figure out what's going on."

Hearing the voice, Natalia glared at Arthur."You've been in contact with Pinocchini this whole time?"

Arthur shrugged."Of course. After Bell's incident, we got in touch. To prevent another tragedy, we decided to work together temporarily and clear up some misunderstandings."

Darwin General turned to the audience and immediately recognized Bobbi and Nel."You two little girls! Come up here!"

Bobbi and Nel, realizing they were exposed, jumped onto the arena.

Bobbi pointed at Darwin with a grumpy face."Old man, how did you figure it out?"

Darwin rolled his eyes."You were pretending to be a fan. She's my granddaughter. I'd recognize her even if she was ash. Got it?"

Pfft, Nel laughed out loud."Bobbi, have you stepped on a pile of dog poop lately? Your luck is terrible."

Bobbi gave Nel a look and walked over to Logan."I heard everything you and the boss just said. Logan's situation now needs the belief resonance from the residents of the Human Federation to keep the belief power coming."
