The faces of the Kirin Operatives showed disdain, while the Edge Agents were stirred with excitement.
Everyone knew of Flynn’s capabilities and his resolve; a single technique, The Dragon’s Embrace, had turned them all into Inner Force Masters.
This time, he surely had even stronger methods.
Faith McCarthy also became excited and asked, “Instructor Mr. Clark, is there really still hope for The Edge?”
Flynn ignored her and addressed the crowd, “Failure is not to be feared. What’s terrifying is staying down after a fall.”
“Believe me, not only can your military exercise defeat the Kirin Special Operations Team, but you will also take first place!”
“Moreover, your goal should not be limited to the military exercise; you should aim for even higher objectives!”
Reginald Shaw burst out laughing and exclaimed, “Excellent! Well said!”
“Such a young age, and already a motivational master. Your career shouldn’t just be in the military; you should be at a university, where the students are even more lost.”
Callan Grey chuckled and shook his head:
“Defeat the Kirin Special Operations Team, take first place in the military exercise? Higher objectives?”
“The more you speak, the more preposterous it gets!”
“Mr. Pearce, you must have invited a madman.”
Brandon Pearce responded coldly, “Callan Grey, this is not someone you can afford to offend; please show some respect!”
What?
The Kirin group was taken aback.
Can’t afford to offend?
A young upstart, a Great Grandmaster not to be offended?
Do they even know what a Great Grandmaster is?
What on earth are the people from The Edge doing!
Being completely manipulated by a young upstart, treating him like a deity.
Hopelessly lost!
“Oh? Now that you mention it, I’m actually quite interested,” Callan Grey said with a smirk, looking at Flynn.
“Little brother, how about a test? I want to see just how much you can’t be offended!”
Hearing this, The Edge agents shook their heads, a sneer flashing across their lips.
A Great Grandmaster compared to a Greater Sovereign? How dare you even say that!
They vividly remembered what happened to Sullivan Cox; did Callan Grey want to be the next ignorant one?
“You’re too weak, not worth a strike!” Flynn glanced at him indifferently, his expression unflustered.
Brandon Pearce also advised, “Callan Grey, I’d advise you not to do this.”
He was sincere, knowing that if Flynn made a move, Callan Grey would be finished.
But to the Kirin crowd, it appeared as cowardice- if Flynn lost, The Edge would be left without even a shred of dignity.
“Oh, I see, he must be the son of a high-ranking official, that’s why you say we can’t afford to offend him.”
“So, you’ve already prepared a way out! Very well, Brandon!” Reginald Shaw looked Brandon Pearce up and down with a smirk.
Brandon Pearce planned to use his last year of authority to have a high official’s son gold-plate his credentials!
That way, he could use this favor to transition into politics.
Brandon Pearce was taken aback and somewhat angrily said, “Reginald Shaw, I think you’re sick. The Edge still has training to do; please leave!”
Callan Grey shook his head, laughing, “Reginald Shaw, it seems you guessed right.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s leave them some dignity. But still, a word of advice, society relies on actual strength, even if you are from a high-ranking family, without genuine substance, you’re just another nobody!”
The people of Kirin sneered continuously, not hiding the contempt in their hearts.
They were all exceptional, including children of officials, but each had earned their place in the Kirin Special Operations Team through real ability.
Wasn’t each one a source of pride for their families?
They despised people like Flynn, who gained fame through pretense rather than merit.
Kirin Operatives from common families particularly loathed such individuals.
They hated these uneducated scions the most, those who took up space without contributing anything.
Instead, it was they, the truly capable ones, who had to start from the bottom and work their way up.
Flynn’s face grew cold, unable to tolerate the incessant chatter any longer. He turned to Brandon Pearce and asked, “Can I cripple him? Will the higher-ups investigate?”
He wasn’t afraid; under normal circumstances, he could even kill Callan Grey without repercussions. However, the Kirin Special Operations Team was part of Golden State, located very close to Lyra Whitaker’s station.
Flynn feared that the woman might hear of it.
Brandon Pearce coughed lightly and advised, “It’s best to keep it moderate…”
Hearing the conversation, Reginald Shaw was stunned.
Cripple?
This young man wanted to cripple Callan Grey?
What was he thinking?
Such a naive kid probably didn’t even know what a Great Grandmaster was.
It was utterly ridiculous.
Alright, let Callan Grey teach him some humility!
Callan Grey hailed from Greenfield, a place known for its tough martial spirit and numerous boxing masters.
He emerged from such an environment, known as the top boxer of Greenfield.
A Great Grandmaster forged through countless life-and-death battles!
His strength was formidable, and his combat experience was vast.
Even masters of the same level were no match for him.
“Callan Grey, take it easy,” Reginald Shaw said with a smile, turning to him. “After all, he is the child of officials; let’s avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Callan Grey nodded, looked at Flynn indifferently, and said, “I can project my chi to kill invisibly. If I don’t control my strength well, I might hurt your delicate body.”
“How about we compare our chi projection? Let’s see who’s stronger!”
Flynn appeared nonchalant: “Fine, as you wish.”
Seeing Flynn agree, the Kirin members laughed.
They had witnessed the overwhelming power of a Great Grandmaster before, his punch unleashing chi that roared like a storm, capable of flipping people over.
Watch, Flynn was going to be terrified.
Today, The Edge had completely lost face.
Yet, the Edge Agents were more excited than ever, a Greater Sovereign taking action was a spectacle rarely seen!
Due to the Great Grandmaster’s devastating power, the crowd moved to the empty space behind The Edge Facility.
This area was a shooting range, with a vast forest beyond.
Endless and lush.
Others from The Edge Facility also gathered, standing a kilometer behind Flynn and Callan Grey to watch.
“Kid, today I’ll show you the might of a Great Grandmaster!”
“See what true strength is!”
Callan Grey threw a punch forward.
“Boom…”
The Great Grandmaster’s killer aura exploded, and a dragon-like chi surged from his fist, carrying the force of a tsunami, thundering forward.
In an instant, the air tore, screaming like a jet passing overhead, leaving a half-meter wide, kilometer-long trench in the ground, eventually dissipating two kilometers away.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
“If that force were to hit me, I’d probably explode into a mist of blood right away!”
So shocking!
So terrifying!
The Great Grandmaster could kill invisibly within a kilometer!
The Kirin Operatives were exceptionally excited.
Did you see that?
This is our chief instructor!
Our idol!
The person we aspire to be for our entire lives!
What can that young boy compare with?
He must be so scared now, his heart racing and ears deafened!
“Little brother, would you like to give it a try?” Callan Grey stood with his hands behind his back, admiring his own work, and turned around with a smile.
But just as he finished speaking, a thunderous noise exploded like thunder.
“Boom!”
Flynn stood in place, appearing like a majestic figure that supported the heavens and the earth.
Thunder erupted from the ground.
A roaring sound that tore through the heavens and the earth exploded next to Callan Grey’s ear, making him tremble with fear, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next second, with Flynn at the center, his energy overflowed, spreading out like a severe storm in all directions.
The terrifying energy gathered together, forming a tornado that soared up to a kilometer high.
It was like the scene when heavy artillery is fired, the ground recoiled from the force, dust billowed into the sky, and the earth trembled and roared.
Even Callan Grey was blown away by this overwhelming power, ascending with the tornado.
“Sssss…”
A kilometer away, the onlookers were blown away by the blast, their faces painfully slashed by the wind blades, even their clothes shredded to rags.
Then, the most shocking scene occurred.
Flynn simply pressed down with one hand towards the front.
“Boom!”
The sound of the airburst resounded again, like hundreds of fighter jets sweeping low overhead.
A wave of air broke the sound barrier with a sonic boom, forming a long white air wave at a low altitude.
This white air wave, nearly a hundred meters in diameter, rolled up dust and smoke, darkening the sky, and completely destroyed the trees and vegetation along its path!
Thunderous roars-
The entire shooting range seemed like the end of the world; the bright sunlight was now obscured by a massive dust cloud, reducing visibility to less than a meter.
The air wave surged with a destructive force, breaking the sound barrier as it charged forward.
Three kilometers!
Five kilometers!
Eight kilometers!
Then it reached the edge of the forest.
Next, the hundred-meter-wide air wave swept directly across and rushed deep into the forest.
For a moment, birds scattered in panic in the forest, and it seemed as if a terrifyingly huge prehistoric creature was stirring underground, causing an earth-shattering rumble!
Finally, the air wave stopped ten kilometers away, leaving a massive trench, dozens of meters wide and ten kilometers long, from Flynn’s feet to ten miles away.
