Whoa! That’s scary. In fact, it’s downright petrifying! What secrets exactly does this world hide? And those secrets are only known by a selected few!
The thing was, even the Dragonites’ knowledge of things was only the tip of the iceberg.
“Nonetheless, we’ve got to make preparations actively. For example, the implementation of the Hidden Dragon project, in hopes of nurturing a few warriors comparable to Northern Demon. After all, the crisis may befall us anytime!”
The top brass of the Dragonites was truly afraid of the imminent arrival of that day.
Anyhow, they needed to take all steps possible to gird up their loins.
Meanwhile, in a wooden house in the snowy Northeast City…
Obsidian Dragon and the others were also desolate.
They had sent out plenty of people to investigate, but there were no leads at all.
It seemed as though no one was protecting Levi.
“I can’t wait anymore! I can’t stand the fact that the man who killed my son is still alive!”
“Exactly! We want to avenge our brother!”
The eyes of Obsidian Dragon and Kuro Dragon’s two brothers blazed scarlet with murder.
“Please calm down!”
“If Supreme class warriors were to make a comeback, the world will plunge into utter chaos!”
“Of course, we’ll still kill him, but we’ve got to figure out another way!”
Everyone else dissuaded them from acting recklessly.
“Then, hurry up and figure it out! If you can’t think of any other way, I’ll go and kill Levi Garrison myself!”
Levi, on the other hand, naturally knew that he had been targeted.
However, he wasn’t the slightest bit bothered.
Anyway, he would merely kill whoever was sent to assassinate him.
His life remained no different from usual—besides going about his routine, he trained Forlevia and the others.
Soon, he discovered that Zoey and Mia were incredibly talented.
In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that they were even more talented than the disciples of Hidden Dragon.
Their progress was lightning fast, second only to Forlevia.
Nevertheless, Zoey and Mia had no inkling of that.
They merely treated it as a way of keeping in shape without knowing that Levi was molding them into peerless warriors.
The days passed in a blur of endless practice everywhere.
At the training base in Hidden Dragon, Xaire and the others were in high spirits after having given Levi the boot.
They proceeded to invest even more effort in training just to prove him wrong.
But after three days, they suddenly noticed a problem.
It seemed as though no one was truly improving much despite having completed the training by Filipe and the other two instructors.
For some inexplicable reason, there was simply no sign of any more improvement.
On the whole, it couldn’t even hold a candle to their miraculously rapid progress during the first stage.
In the beginning, they all paid it no mind.
But when five days passed without any improvement, they started panicking.
Seven days later, there was still zero progress made.
Even after ten days, the situation persisted.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. While they did improve, the improvement was so negligible that it could basically be disregarded.
It was as though their potential had reached its height and could no longer breakthrough.
By then, all the disciples began to grow antsy.
Likewise, the instructors and Darian started worrying.
They’re basically stagnating? But that’s impossible! The training plan has been executed according to schedule, and there haven’t been any problems at all. There’s no issue with the disciples either. So, what exactly is the problem? Their rapid progress during the first stage was mind-boggling, but why did they suddenly screech to a halt in the second stage after Levi was kicked out?
“What’s the problem, Mr. Jourdain? If this situation persists, we’ll be laughed out of the room by Levi!”
Xaire and the others were like a cat on hot bricks as anxiety swamped them.
“It’s probably a problem with our training plan. All of you have already reached your maximum potential, so we’ve got to change to a different plan,” Filipe insisted.
“I agree!” the other two instructors concurred as well.
Thus, they came up with another training plan and started implementing the new plan.
“We’ll definitely make headway!”
Everyone staunchly refused to admit defeat, but little did they know that the lack of progress had nothing to do with the training plan.
Instead, it was only because of Levi’s dismissal.
