Every single imperial guard was elite of the elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the weakest of them was a rank 1. There were even several peak rank 2s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a few rank 3s as well. Not too many, but each one was an out-and-out genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if all the Provinces under Centaurus rebelled, the Imperial Guards headed by twelve rank 3s were enough to crush them. Such a force naturally had its own pride and dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it's the guest of Duke Cassius, Imperial Guard refused to be insulted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, they're not going to kill him, just break a few bones here and there. They'd heal him with the best facilities later. At most, the Duke would condemn their actions a bit and cut their salaries for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that's it. Instead, if they allowed an outsider to trample them, their reputation would plummet and it'd be hard for them to raise their heads outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, just teach this guy a lesson and settle this issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Or that's what they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KACHA! CRACK! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of bones breaking, men wailing and women crying reverberated across the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a bubble spanning a few miles, bodies were sprawled throughout the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proud imperial guards lay twitching, arms twisted and back broken. Some of the womenfolk had their hair missing. Some menfolk went bald directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them had one thing in common. Their eyes were all staring in one direction even as they shed tears of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man was fighting against dozens of imperial guards. Every time, his fist or kick connected, the wind would explode and a shockwave would sweep the bubble, blasting away the collapsed guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one on the receiving end of the punch or kick would add to the collapsed guards and lament on his broken back or twisted hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, there were hundreds of audience watching the dozens fight Varian. Now, there were dozens watching Varian. The rest were all on the ground, incapacitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you this won't work!\" Varian sighed and his arm suddenly accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the man in front of him could react, he grabbed him by the collar and used him as a large bat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving the bat at a high speed, Varian knocked out the remaining guards even as the 'bat' screamed in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Play clever this time, alright?\" Varian clapped his hands and hundreds of potions flew over the injured guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few minutes, they were back on their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all looked at each other and went ahead begrudgingly. When Varian said the same words last time, they ignored him and just sent a dozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was clear for everyone to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this time. If they couldn't win him in small numbers, big numbers should work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for pride, dignity, and honor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha! Victory is the highest source of pride!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on!\" Varian raised his hands with a bright smile as a crowd of hundred guards jumped onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he was surrounded by the mob. Forget wind, even light couldn't reach him as they practically crushed him inside the humanoid wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\" Varian looked around with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards stood next to each other and formed a very practiced formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They formed something akin to a human wall, but this wasn't just a wall but also a dome above. And even the floor! So, the guards were around Varian, above him and even below him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation bore a resemblance to ants crowding on a prey airtight to kill it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's mobility was extremely limited and he had to face attacks from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, fight!\" But he merely laughed it off and clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless punches and kicks assaulted him from all directions. Even with all his strength, Varian could barely make a dent in the humanoid wall formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he knocked a dozen soldiers out, a dozen more waiting outside would instantly fill them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he was trapped in the formation, fighting against the seemingly endless attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the soldiers attacking him numbered at least a hundred. The ones outside were at least two hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Varian was drenched in blood in just ten minutes. After twenty minutes, his bones were broken like dry twigs. Post the thirty-minute mark, he was kneeling on the ground, slamming his head into the soldiers below him and punching his way up to the ones above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one hour mark, Varian forgot everything else and was in a flow-like state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the blood that flowed out of him dried up and formed a light red layer enveloping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you admit defeat now, this battle will stop.\" Raix, the peak rank 1 captain said for the tenth time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying those words embarrassed him to no end. A single man fought against a hundred guards simultaneously for a whole hour and didn't fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even peak rank 2s wouldn't survive this onslaught for thirty minutes. But this man did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Imperial Guards still treated this as a victory, they were delusional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the so-called pride, they still had to 'win'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Admit defeat and this will e—mfff.\" Raix couldn't even finish his words as a fist broke into his mouth and knocked out his remaining teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raix fainted on the spot and was blown out of the formation. Someone else replaced him instantly and the ones outside ran to heal Raix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, even the rank 2s had stopped fighting and watched the battle with shocked expressions. The rank 4 Admiral also brought the rank 3s to watch this ridiculous spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the battle went on, their surprise faded and they had an expression of realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That mysterious man, Constantine was definitely not a rank 1 like his aura showed. Maybe a strong rank 2, but still, fighting these many for so long...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle went on for another hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raix got all broken teeth fixed and joined the battle. Once again, he took the lead and asked in a commanding voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have gained my respect, but you can go on no more. Accept your def—mfff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raix fainted and woke up after an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh great warrior, this is enough! One must know their limits! Just say you're defe—effff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raix fainted again and after waking up, he started sobbing. Despite insisting on escape, his superiors sent him in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"P-Please, admit it already! Admit it and w-we'll be best frie—pppfff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Raix didn't even bother to get his broken teeth fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the soldiers were slowly growing tired. Even though they were given healing potions, their bodies were no longer able to support a fight of this intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, one by one, the soldiers began to collapse. The floor inside the bubble was already filled with blood and reached the height of everyone's calves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a numbing ten hours, the last soldier collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One man remained standing, drenched in blood that was mostly not his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a breath from him caused ripples in the blood lake and swayed the collapsed soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a glance from him caused the rank 2s sitting in the audience to tense up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a step from him shook the entire bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked up with tired eyes and slowly sat down in the blood. His lips moved slowly but his voice was clear. \"A-As I said, you guys are trash. Since rank 1s are done, get me rank 2s!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Admiral and the rank 3s looked at each other. This guy really had a screw loose. He wants to be beaten up!\u003C\u002Fp>",1333,"2026-06-06T07:58:41.257Z",1,"novelbin.me","9364c308a95aba234e4cd20ca75a8dcac8c7584aaae1e120f8aad3309a725ec4","divine-path-system-chapter-1129","divine-path-system-chapter-1127",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
