As such, Vaan's sheer physical strength had already surpassed the known limits granted to men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the enhancement of aura, the physical strength of Aura Masters was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Vaan didn't seem to have a limit on the growth of his physical strength. If he could train his physical strength and aura to the extreme, even she could not imagine how powerful he would become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astoria suddenly had a vague sense of a greater force at work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan's rise was unstoppable as if a hidden hand had guided him up until this step. He possessed a destiny so great he could be regarded as heaven's chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who followed him would prosper, and those who were against him would suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He could be the savior of this world or its destroyer, depending on how the world treats him,' Astoria thought with knitted brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on their past interaction, she knew Vaan was quite reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was also aware of just how poorly the supremacist faction's witches treated men. It was even worse in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she can't prevent a grudge from forming between the two sides, their conflict could potentially shatter the kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have to keep him away from the capital,' Astoria silently swore to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Eniwse and Aeliana didn't have such complicated thoughts as they watched the spar between Vaan and Senior Jergag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took pride in his growth, and his glory was also their glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Vaan sparred with Senior Jergag, he did not pay attention to the onlookers, nor did he have such luxuries to be distracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he could still the dragons' cheers of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a friendly bout between him and Senior Jergag, nothing big or exciting to watch. However, the dragons of the younger generations were just as excited as his last spar with Gryme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fights between humans and dragons were more interesting than fights between two dragons, especially when the latter was commonly seen in their dragon clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the young dragons all wanted to see one outcome; Vaan's miserable defeat. But, unfortunately for them, such a thing was not going to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Jergag knew when to pull his punches. After all, he wasn't competing but assisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, each time they traded blows, the air resonated loudly from their clashes, and strong winds blew in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very impressive, Vahn. With that, you should have, more or less, adapted to your current strength now, right?\" Senior Jergag casually asked as if he hadn't even worked up a sweat. \"How about we put a stop to our spar here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds good, Senior Jergag. Thank you for helping me out,\" Vaan readily agreed and expressed his gratitude for the elderly dragon's assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ended his Lycan state and wiped his sweat with his ragged clothes, which had been torn to shreds after failing to withstand the intensity of their spar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regular clothes cannot endure high-level battles. He needed to consider better equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your strength has improved significantly, but your defense and speed are rather lacking, especially your speed, Vahn. You should really work on it,\" Senior Jergag offered his feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I've also noticed that problem,\" Vaan openly acknowledged his shortcoming and said, \"However, I can only work on it when the opportunity arises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the voices of disapproval and disappointment sounded when the dragons didn't get to see what they came to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Get lost, you punks! This isn't a show!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Crap, Elder Jergag is angry. Let's quickly leave!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after Senior Jergag scolded the crowd, the young dragons immediately scattered in fear of getting into trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry about that, Vahn. Members of the younger generations are still too immature. I hope you aren't offended by them,\" Senior Jergag apologized for the crowd's unruliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Vaan wasn't some edge lord that would get butthurt just because he heard something unsavory or people looked at him unkindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had grown accustomed to such treatment while trying to survive in the slums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have to worry about that, Senior Jergag,\" Vaan calmly smiled and said, \"Words and stares can't hurt me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good,\" Jergag nodded with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed Vaan had the potential to overcome the Trial by Fire and lead the Red Dragon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, if Vaan wanted to remove all the dissidents to reinforce his rule, none of the senior dragons would complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was best if they could avoid such a scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you challenge the Trial by Fire now?\" Senior Jergag asked shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Vaan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not immediately, soon,\" Vaan replied before explaining further, \"I need some rest to catch my breath. Also, I have company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astoria, Hester, Eniwse, and Aeliana were seen making their way over from different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True.\" Senior Jergag acknowledged with a nod and said, \"Even if you have the Fire Spirit Body now, the Trial by Fire isn't a place you can take lightly. So it'd be best if you are properly prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyhow, this old dragon won't take up any more of your time. I will be entering isolated meditation to digest some insights, young friend. I wish you all the best with the Trial by Fire. Take care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You too, Senior Jergag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, the elderly dragon took off for his cave, leaving Vaan behind to accompany the ladies approaching him.\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-06T05:27:57.812Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9813bbf6cfa7083fa7127f68c011d562c26b7f1e89f3eb88d21f4981b33c37c","the-witch-hunter-system-chapter-192","the-witch-hunter-system-chapter-329",1230,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-witch-hunter-system-cover.jpg"]
