Casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re just a junior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even have the right to speak here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plaza suddenly grew quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several disciples sucked in cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon continued, his voice still gentle but carrying an invisible

white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not dare explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure from Leon’s gaze felt like a mountain resting on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, even breathing felt slightly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon looked at him with the meaningfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression carried faint amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, Shan was simply not worth the effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Leon had no interest in arguing

limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon turned around calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze landed on Selena, Rias, and Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t run around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three nodded obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,

greatest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry slapped his thigh dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s how you should do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Domineering!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who dares to provoke us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leon’s self-declared most loyal supporter, Harry looked as proud as if he himself had just won a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he didn’t even try to lower his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan’s gaze turned murderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you staring at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re not convinced...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come fight me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding disciples immediately froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he insane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Rias couldn’t help covering her mouth as she laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena merely rubbed her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several disciples of Secret Sword Summit were already trembling with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them whispered furiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did this brat come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another disciple gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That mouth of his is too damn annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s infuriating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them dared move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew he had come with Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly belonged to Amethyst Summit Division—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then provoking him meant provoking Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even their own master Shera had just chosen to endure Leon’s provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they dare act recklessly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias leaned closer to Harry and said teasingly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really should know your place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you anger him too much...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might not be able to save you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry grinned shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned toward Selena dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Selena!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must protect me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he attacks me, you have to help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena looked at him with a blank expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she slowly sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability to provoke people truly reached a terrifying level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But surprisingly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dislike it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was standing up for her teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as someone opposed Secret Sword Summit, Selena naturally felt some approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan’s eyes burned with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pride had never been trampled like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the eldest senior brother of Secret Sword Summit, he was admired wherever he went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been humiliated repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this arrogant brat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan’s voice dropped to a dangerous whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re quite brave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve successfully angered me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you won’t regret what you’ve done today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly laughed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does that line sound so familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s exactly what I said the first time I appeared here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry crossed his arms smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When it comes to arrogance...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve never lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Selena standing nearby, his confidence reached ridiculous levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you were some terrifying expert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’re only good at talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone can say harsh words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back in my day, the harsh words I said were more than the salt you’ve eaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even patted Shan’s shoulder casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be so impulsive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were the final straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan’s anger exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp sound—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword was drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade flashed with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he moved—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden chill struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a blade sliding across his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silent pressure had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze slowly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And stopped—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Selena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood calmly beside Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silver hair drifted gently in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her blue eyes had turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a single instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan felt something terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deadly instinct screamed inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I attack...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought appeared so clearly in his mind that even he was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan suddenly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back was drenched in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly lowered his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What just happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the strongest disciples of the new generation, only one person had ever made him feel this kind of fear before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that single instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena had given him the exact same feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the conclusion was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly attacked—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would
