Leo took the envelope from the servant’s hand and was momentarily stunned when he saw the three large characters on the cover.
The three characters on the cover read: Challenge Letter!
“Leo, what kind of letter is it?”
Leo opened the letter, which contained a single sentence:
“Leo, I have missed you since our last meeting at Seven Stars Sword Sect. Now that you are at my Coleman family, do you dare to fight me in the Martial Arts Arena?”
The letter was signed “Akira Coleman.”
“Leo, is this… a challenge letter? Who wrote it to you?” Violet asked curiously.
Leo handed the letter to Violet.
Leo found it amusing. This Akira hadn’t been scared off by their last encounter and seemed eager for another round.
“This Akira is causing trouble for you again, Leo. I’ll go deal with him!” Violet said angrily after reading the letter.
“Violet, since he wants to spar, let’s grant his wish. After a delicious breakfast, I could use some exercise,” Leo said with a smile.
Leo didn’t mind teaching Akira another lesson.
The location was the Martial Arts Arena.
By this time, hundreds of people had gathered, mostly the younger generation of the Coleman family.
The news of Akira challenging Leo had spread, and everyone had come to watch.
The three genius disciples of the Coleman family, Holden, Christian, and Aimee, were all present.
“Akira, do you think that guy will come?” a young disciple asked Akira.
“He will definitely come,” Akira said confidently. “That guy is very arrogant. This time, I’ll make him pay!”
“Akira, look, that guy is here. Violet and the clan leader are with him,” the young disciple pointed towards the entrance of the Martial Arts Arena.
Akira looked in the direction he pointed and saw Leo, Violet, and Donovan approaching.
“Christian, will you step in later?” Aimee asked Christian.
“We’ll see. If he can’t even beat Akira, he’s not worth my time,” Christian replied arrogantly.
Aimee nodded and looked towards Akira, who was already on the stage.
Under everyone’s gaze, Leo leisurely walked onto the stage.
When Leo stood in front of Akira, Akira didn’t say a word and unleashed his inner strength towards Leo.
Feeling Akira’s powerful aura, Leo raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Akira’s aura had significantly improved since their last encounter at Seven Stars Sword Sect. It seemed he had made a breakthrough after returning to the Coleman family.
“Akira has been training hard since he returned. He must have been preparing for this day,” Aimee said softly, her eyes narrowing slightly.
“Impressive! Akira has broken through to the lower-level Warrior Venerable realm!”
“I don’t think that guy stands a chance against Akira.”
The younger generation of the Coleman family discussed animatedly below the stage.
“Leo, I will avenge our last encounter today!” Akira said with a cold smile.
“Really? Then go ahead. I don’t have much time to play with you,” Leo replied with a faint smile.
“Fine! Watch me break your leg!” Akira’s eyes turned cold as he quickly formed a complex seal with his hands.
Between Akira’s palms, a square seal engulfed in blue flames formed.
On the seal, a phoenix bathed in blue flames danced gracefully.
A powerful flame aura spread out, causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.
“Akira has worked hard recently. His Fire Phoenix Seal is becoming more refined and powerful.”
Watching Akira perform his martial technique on stage, Frederick’s thin old face showed a rare smile.
Akira was his grandson. Seeing his grandson progress so quickly made him proud as a grandfather.
“This match might be exciting. That young man practices Dao Techniques. I’m eager to see them,” Elder Harrison said with a chuckle.
On stage, Akira held the Fire Phoenix Seal above his right palm and looked at Leo arrogantly.
“You are indeed stronger than last time, but it won’t work on me,” Leo said calmly, shaking his head.
“Hmph! Arrogant words!” Akira said angrily. “Take my Fire Phoenix Seal!”
At that moment, Akira’s inner strength reached its peak, and the blue flames burned fiercely.
Then, Akira hurled the Fire Phoenix Seal towards Leo’s face.
Leo remained calm and unfazed as he threw a punch.
Bang!
The fist collided with the Fire Phoenix Seal.
Cracks immediately appeared on the Fire Phoenix Seal before it shattered into blue sparks.
After breaking the Fire Phoenix Seal, Leo didn’t stop his punch and directly hit Akira’s right palm.
Crack!
A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.
“Ah…!”
A heart-wrenching scream followed immediately.
Akira spat out a mouthful of blood and flew off the stage.
Boom!
Poor Akira landed heavily on the hard ground of the Martial Arts Arena.
The onlookers were first stunned and then shocked.
After landing, Akira spat out another mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
“One punch! He only used one punch!” a young disciple exclaimed in disbelief.
“Akira…!” Frederick cried out in shock after regaining his senses.
He couldn’t believe that his proud grandson had been sent flying with just one punch.
Donovan and Harrison exchanged glances, both surprised by Leo’s strength.
Especially Harrison, who had expected Leo to use some mystical Dao Techniques but was shocked by the sheer power of his punch.
“Hehe, Leo is amazing,” Violet clapped her hands and laughed.
“Girl, aren’t you part of the Coleman family? Our younger generation was defeated, and you’re this happy?” Donovan said helplessly upon seeing his daughter’s expression.
“Dad, Akira challenged Leo on his own. He deserved it,” Violet said playfully, sticking out her tongue.
“He is strong. Akira is clearly not on his level,” Aimee said after recovering from her shock.
“His strength is indeed impressive. Maybe he’s on par with us,” Holden Coleman nodded in agreement.
“This is getting interesting,” Christian said with a smile as his fighting spirit surged within him.
“You… how did your strength improve so much…” Akira said in disbelief after regaining his composure, his face pale as he spoke with difficulty.
Since returning from Seven Stars Sword Sect, Akira had trained diligently and successfully broke through to the Warrior Venerable realm. He thought he had gained enough strength to seek revenge but hadn’t expected to be defeated with one punch.
Leo ignored Akira’s disbelief and prepared to leave the stage.
At that moment, a cold voice rang out: “Mr. Bloomer, please wait.”
