When the man introduced himself, younger people like Emma, Elias, and Troy were confused.
However, Yannick and Thaddeus, standing behind Leander, instantly changed expressions.
In the martial world, both in Astria and abroad, every 25 years was considered a “generation.” Yannick and Thaddeus, along with The Four Extremes, rose to prominence during the current generation.
Nevertheless, in the previous one-25 years ago-they were merely newcomers.
Those who were already famous and ranked at the top back then were the true masters of that era, like the now-dead Laughing Monk of West Ridge, whom Leander had once killed.
Now, this man, who looked only about 30 years old, claimed to be known by the older generation as the Lord of Umbral-meaning his actual age was far beyond what he appeared to
1. be.
This was someone on the same level as the legends of the last generation.
“Lord of Umbral?” Yannick frowned.
Although he and Thaddeus weren’t famous back then, they had heard of the great names of that era.
One of them was this very man.
Legend had it that 25 years ago, a martial arts master remained low-profile and never challenged anyone. He wasn’t even listed on the Astria Power List at the time.
However, after that list was published, he suddenly rose up and challenged everyone ranked from second to 15th and crushed all of them, shocking the martial world.
He then fought the Laughing Monk of West Ridge, who ranked first, and the battle ended in a draw.
Even though his power was undeniable, the rankings were never changed, causing him great
resentment.
Out of rage, he challenged the top ancient martial sects-Wanda Sect, Lingster Sect, Mount Sect-defeating many of their elders. Some were even killed.
Because of that, the martial world’s righteous sects labeled him a villain. Famous holy places

like the Silvermoon Sect and the Motorina Sect declared him a public enemy. Finished
Pushed out by all sides, he eventually created the Umbral Court, gathering ruthless martial artists into a feared killer organization.
Since then, he was known as the Lord of Umbral.
He had disappeared from the martial world for nearly 30 years, with many assuming
he was dead, but here he was today in Ravenridge.
Leander looked intrigued and smiled faintly. “I didn’t expect a mere killer group to have someone at the Transcendent Realm. Interesting p>
Everyone was shocked again.
They all knew that above the Martial Sovereign was a legendary realm-the Transcendent Realm. It hadn’t been seen in nearly 50 years.
Yet, Leander was now implying this man had truly reached that level.
To the younger crowd, it was unthinkable—a mythical figure standing right before them.
“Transcendent Realm p>
Yannick and Thaddeus were shaken. This was the very realm they had dreamed of
their whole lives. Now, they were witnessing someone who had actually stepped into
it.
The Lord of Umbral remained calm.
“Jeff, I knew you were different.
“Twenty-five years ago, only the Laughing Monk of West Ridge was worthy of my attention. Now, among today’s masters, only Maximilian barely counts. Gareth is so-so; but you are the only one I truly respect p>
Everyone gasped inside.
The Laughing Monk of West Ridge was the previous generation’s top master, the undisputed number one. Gareth and Maximilian were considered today’s peaks.
Yet, in this man’s eyes, even they didn’t amount to much. He indeed had high standards.
The Lord of Umbral’s eyes glowed faintly with black and purple light as he continued, “I once thought Gareth would be the first to break into the Transcendent Realm, but then you appeared, overturning my expectations.
“A few days ago, in West Listin, you killed six Pre-Transcendents from the Arbitration Office,

and even took down a newly-awakened Transcendent. That feat alone places you among the top masters of this age.
“You may not be Transcendent yet, but you surpass it in strength. I truly want to see your power for myself p>
Yannick and Thaddeus were stunned. They had no idea Leander had achieved such terrifying results-especially against the Arbitration Office.
Leander casually put one hand in his pocket and smirked. “If you want to see, then stop talking and fight p>
Back at the Waterfront Plaza, Leander had killed the Masked God of War, who used secret techniques and Doomlight. Yet, he still crushed him with a single punch.
The Lord of Umbral, though a true Transcendent, was only slightly stronger than the Masked God of War.
Leander wasn’t worried at all.
Yannick and Thaddeus quickly retreated with scary expressions.
Masters of Transcendent Realm had incredible strength. If these two clashed, just the aftermath could tear them apart.
The Lord of Umbral saw the gleam in Leander’s eyes but only shook his head.
“Jeff, I would love to fight you, but I must admit, I’m not your match p>
As the leader of the Umbral Court, he had wide connections. He knew the full details
of what had happened at the Waterfront Plaza.
Even though he was stronger than the Masked God of War, it wouldn’t be enough. Leander could easily kill him, too.
Emma was again overwhelmed. If even a Transcendent says he can’t beat Leander, how terrifying is Leander’s real strength?
The Lord of Umbral bowed respectfully. “Sovereign, I came to Ravenridge today not to offend you, but to ask a favor. Please spare those two. In return, I promise the Umbral Court will never again trouble anyone present tonight p>
Leander stood still, expression cold.
“Your offer means nothing to me. Killing every last one of the Umbral Court still
leads to the same outcome. Why should I let them live p>

He paused, then said in a lower voice, “If you let them go, I’ll tell you a secret—a secret very few people know, which is about the Arbitration Office p>
