Chapter 6: A New Challenger Appears!
The training grounds buzzed with excitement long after Su Lanyi left.
Leon Xian had not only held his own against a top-ranked disciple, but he had also copied and perfected her technique in mere moments.
This wasn't just shocking—it was unprecedented.
"Did you see that? He used Su Lanyi's own move against her!"
"How is that possible? Is he some kind of monster?"
"First, he crushes Bai Chen, and now he impresses Su Lanyi? Who the hell is Leon Xian really?"
Leon ignored the whispers, his thoughts focused on his newfound Heavenly Sword Intent.

Good. Very good.
He was getting stronger, but he wasn't satisfied yet. The Sect Ranking Tournament was in two days, and he wanted more power.
Just as he was about to leave—
BOOM!
A powerful shockwave erupted through the training grounds.
Leon turned, his eyes narrowing as a figure descended from the sky, landing with a loud thud.
The crowd gasped.
"It's him!"
"A ranked disciple has come to challenge Leon?!"
"Things just got serious!"
Standing before Leon was a tall, broad-shouldered young man wearing red robes with a flaming dragon insignia on his chest. His aura burned with intense heat, and his sharp gaze locked onto Leon like a predator eyeing its prey.
Feng Zhen – Rank #5 in the Sect.
A genius known for his Flame Dragon Arts and explosive combat style.
He crossed his arms, smirking. "I've heard the rumors, Leon Xian. You've been making quite a name for yourself."
Leon smirked back. "Jealous?"
Feng Zhen's smile widened. "I just don't like nobodies thinking they can rise above their place. I came here to remind you where you belong."
The crowd stirred.
"He's going to challenge Leon right here?"
"This is bad! Feng Zhen is a direct disciple of the Grand Elder!"
"Leon might be strong, but can he handle someone ranked #5?"
Leon yawned. "So, let me get this straight. First, Bai Chen thought he could teach me a lesson, and I destroyed him. Then, Su Lanyi tested me, and I surpassed her technique." He tilted his head. "And now you think you'll be any different?"
Feng Zhen's eyes flashed with dangerous amusement. "Cocky. I like it."
BOOM!
Without warning, he stomped the ground, and flames erupted around him.
The heat was so intense that the nearby disciples had to take a step back.
Leon, however, stood still, completely unfazed.
Feng Zhen smirked. "I hope you're ready to burn."
Leon grinned.
Perfect. Another ability to copy.
