The conflict between both sides started getting worse within just a few days.


    From that point on, fights between the world''s martial artists and those disciples from the Mystic Realm never stopped.


    Even worse, the seven major Martial Saints got bolder and bolder.


    They basically took control of every resource and crushed today''s martial artists over and over.


    Pearson Bowman, who took the worst hit, got badly hurt by some genius disciple from the Mystic Realm.


    Knight Family.


    Pearson Bowman was lying in bed, looking terrible.


    His face got whiter and whiter as he kept coughing up blood.


    Wayne Ran and the others standing around him looked really grim.


    "Damn it!" Zora Solomon, always the hothead, couldn''t keep his mouth shut.


    He jumped up suddenly and said coldly, "We can''t let them act so cocky! When have we ever taken this kind of crap!"


    After saying that, Zora Solomon got up and walked toward the door.


    "Where are you headed?" Males Ran grabbed Zora Solomon.


    Zora Solomon replied coldly, "I''m gonna teach them a lesson!"


    "Don''t do it, there''s more of them and they''re stronger, don''t pick a fight." Someone nearby warned him.


    Zora Solomonughed bitterly, "If I let them step all over me, I''m not Zora Solomon!"


    With that, Zora Solomon turned around and walked out.


    A huge fight broke out right away at the Capital City Martial Arts Academy!


    The battle between Zora Solomon and that disciple from the Mystic Realm covered most of Capital City!


    The fight went on for three solid hours, with Zora Solomon all bloody, spitting blood everywhere, and finally getting dragged back!


    After that, the kids from all those noble families got more and more hopeless.


    "Even Zora Solomon lost to them, I don''t know who else can step up."


    "I wonder if Alberto Sean and Mason Raymond could beat them."


    "Forget those two, knowing Alberto Sean''s personality, he won''t get involved in other people''s problems, and nobody would dare mess with them anyway."


    "And Mason Raymond? He''s got his hands full just trying to survive right now."


    "..."


    The martial arts world of this era took a huge hit, and the tension between both sides kept building up quietly.


    ...


    Right now, Paul Randall and I were heading toward the Mystic Realm.


    We split up, and I was super careful the whole way.


    I hid my qi, pulled my hat down low, scared someone might spot me.


    Even though I used the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique the entire time, it still took me eight full hours to get to the Mystic Realm.


    ——


    On the other side, not long after Mason Raymond and Paul Randall took off, Garcia Faley and Star showed up at the location.


    They checked around the area, but couldn''t find any sign of the two.


    Garcia stood in Paul''s courtyard for a long time, then sniffed the air and said coldly, "They haven''t gone far, I can still pick up their qi."


    After saying that, Garcia looked at Star and the others and ordered coldly, "Go after them!"


    Star didn''t dare say much, and immediately went after Mason Raymond and Paul Randall following their qi trail.


    ...


    Paul Randall got to the Mystic Realm first.


    Looking at this scene that looked like hell on earth, sadness crossed Paul Randall''s face.


    Even though he''d heard about it, seeing it with his own eyes still shocked him big time.


    "Saumel Baton did all this." I looked around, pain shing across my face.


    "One day, I''m gonna destroy the Baton Family''s Mystic Realm myself!"


    Paul Randall patted my shoulder and said, "When you''re strong enough, everything will change."


    I didn''t say much more. I walked up to the Mystic Realm entrance and slowly opened it using the mystic keys.


    "Senior Randall, please," I bowed and said.


    Paul Randall nodded, followed me, and stepped into the Mystic Realm.


    In the Mystic Realm, Spike Viktor was still there.


    Seeing us show up suddenly, Spike Viktor quickly came over.


    "Paul Randall?" Seeing Paul Randall next to me, Spike Viktor quickly bowed in greeting.


    "Howe you''re back again?" Then, Spike Viktor looked at me kind of surprised.


    I waved my hand and didn''t exin.


    I turned to Paul Randall and said, "Senior Randall, this is the Mystic Realm I found."


    Paul Randall took a deep breath, feeling the qi flowing from the Mystic Realm.


    "Such thick qi. You don''t see this in the world," Paul Randall muttered to himself.


    I said quietly, "Senior Randall, you should train here. With your talent, stepping into the Martial Saint Realm shouldn''t be hard."


    "That''s right, in this era, Senior Randall and Commander Richard should be the most likely to reach the Martial Saint Realm." Spike Viktor added.


    Paul Randall shook his head at this.


    He said quietly, "Ignacio Richard''s talent is better than mine, but he''s not really into this stuff."


    I nodded slightly, I could sense it too.


    Compared to Ignacio Richard, Paul Randall seemed more focused on martial arts.


    Then, we didn''t waste any more time.


    Paul Randall also started teaching me thest secret of the Nine Secrets that was most important to me right now.


    ——


    Garcia Coleman and Star, following Mason Raymond and Paul Randall''s aura, rushed to the Green Moon Vi.


    Star, being a martial artist in thete-stage Martial Saint Realm, had extremely sharp divine sense.


    Even though Mason Raymond and Paul Randall had both hidden their auras, they couldn''t escape his keen divine sense.


    A few people followed behind Star and arrived near the Mystic Realm.


    Standing close to the Mystic Realm, Star couldn''t help but sniff the air.


    "Where are they?" Garcia Coleman asked coldly.


    Star nced at Garcia Coleman and said, frowning, "Weird, their auras vanished here."


    "Vanished?" Garcia Coleman couldn''t help but snort coldly.


    "How does an aura just disappear into thin air?"


    Garcia Coleman''s eyes looking at Star were full of deep suspicion.


    Star said quietly, "Really, their auras disappeared here, I don''t know why."


    With narrowed eyes, Garcia Coleman said, "Uncle Star, my dad trusts you a lot, and I''ve always treated you like my own uncle."


    "You and I both know the impact that Paul Randall and Mason Raymond could have on the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and you should know what matters more."


    Star knew what Garcia Coleman meant. He took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Young Master Coleman, everything I said is the truth."


    Garcia Coleman stared at Star like he wanted to see right through him.


    "Do you think...they might have escaped into the Mystic Realm?" Right then, one of the Martial Saints next to Star said.


    Hearing this, Garcia Coleman''s pupils shrank sharply!


    Mystic Realm!


    Yes, only by going into the Mystic Realm could their auras disappear like that!


    Thinking of this, Garcia Coleman quickly said, "Quick, go get Audrey Williams and bring him to me, examine this carefully!"
