From Outcast to Overlord: The Unyielding Heir Novel

Chapter 57 The Relentless Prodigy " Brat , are you looking for trouble ? " Elias ' voice dropped to a dangerously low tone as his knuckles tightened , veins bulging on his hand . 69 Finished As the chief disciple of the Tri - Peak Sect , he was regarded as one of the strongest of his generation . At twenty - two , he had already reached the peak of Martial Grandmaster , standing alongside the legendary Twin Stars of Highcliffe and the Three Brilliants , Four Beauties . However , being slightly older , he hadn't been included in their elite ranks .

In Astria's martial arts world , most respectfully referred to him as " Mr. Sebastian ." Yet Leander , a nobody with no known martial skills , dismissively spoke to him , calling his strength mediocre . " You can always try me , " Leander challenged , lounging on the couch , showing no intention of getting up and clearly not taking Elias seriously . To Leander , these so - called prodigies of Astria's martial arts world were overrated . Not only Elias but even Emma , Ethan , and Claire - none of them captured his interest . " You're really asking for it !

" Elias ' temper flared as his internal strength surged , causing the vase beside him to shatter from the pressure . He stepped forward , ready to unleash a devastating blow on Leander . Before he could act , Emma intervened , placing a firm hand on him . " Elias ! He's just toying with words . We've got what we needed ; don't let him get to you ." Elias hesitated but eventually stepped back , his eyes still ablaze with fury . Leander leaned back with a smug grin . " If you're too scared to fight , then don't waste my time . Just get out .

" Elías clenched his jaw , fighting to restrain himself . " You better hope our paths don't cross again ; next time , I won't hold back , " he declared before storming out . Emma looked back at Leander , her voice icy . " You may have saved Maeve , but you'll only get into trouble if you don't learn to keep your head down . There's more to this world than you know , and it's much bigger than you think ." With that , she disappeared down the hallway . Leander barely gave her words a second thought . He casually shut the door and sprawled out on the couch .

To him , girls like Emma , who were so full of themselves , were everywhere . If not for Maeve , he wouldn't have bothered talking to her . As he scrolled through his phone , something drew his attention . His eyes narrowed at a shadow 1/3 13:01 Sun , Oct 12 M ... Chapter 57 The Relentless Prodigy moving quickly across the attic , disappearing into the darkness . " Well , well , this could get interesting , " Leander muttered with a grin .

Finished Meanwhile , Elias and Emma walked side by side down a street in Ravenridge , planning to spend the night at a nearby hotel before returning to the Tri - Peak Sect the next day . Elias stole a glance at Emma's perfect profile , feeling his heart race . Among the sect members , male disciples admired Elias , while the female ones held Emma in high esteem . Together , they were dubbed the " golden duo " of the Tri - Peak Sect , earning the respect of even their master . In his mind , Elias had already claimed Emma as his future wife .

He vowed to marry her , to pursue martial mastery together , and one day reach the peak of the martial world . " Emma , I'll clear the way for you at the Mornwick Martial Arts Championship . I'll make sure you're crowned the top martial practitioner in both Mornwick and Listin ," Elias vowed gently . Though Elias was often cold to most , Elias always treated Emma with special care and kindness . Emma remained distant , her tone cool as she replied , " That won't be necessary . I'll prove my strength on my own . I don't need your help .

I'll defeat anyone who stands in my way- including Olivia from Tarlyn Guild . " Determination flickered in her eyes . She thought , Ethan had been the strongest among the guys for so long , while Claire and Daphne always take the lead among the girls . Sure , the rest of us are seen as equals , but that never sits right with me . We've never truly faced off - none of us really know who's the best . With the Mornwick - Listin Martial Arts Championship on the horizon , I finally have my chance . Olivia from the Tarlyn Guild - I'll prove myself if I can defeat her .

My reputation will soar among the top nine prodigies in Astria . Then , I'll be ready . Ready to challenge Ethan , Claire , Daphne - all of them . Elias nodded , admiring Emma's fierce independence . At that moment , she seemed even more captivating . " Oh , yeah ! " Emma suddenly recalled . " Elias , have you heard about those murders ? Disciples from different sects are being picked off individually , and no one knows who's behind it . Over twenty of them are dead , all killed by some young guy dressed in black . They say he's not even twenty - five . What do you make of that ?

" Elias ' face grew grim at the mention . The string of deaths was a big issue in the martial arts world . Even top - tier fighters had been taken out , including Ollie Bodkin from the Ebon Sect - a 2/3 13:02 Sun , Oct 12 M ... 69 Chapter 57 The Relentless Prodigy late - stage Martial Grandmaster . His death had sent shockwaves through Mornwick , even reaching the Tri - Peak Sect . " Whoever this killer is , they're no amateur , " Elias remarked . Finished He then added , " To take down someone like Ollic , they'd have to be at the peak of Martial Grandmaster . Still , there's something off .

The only swordsman under thirty with that kind of skill is Niall Fagan from Bladehold Temple , but the style of the killings doesn't match theirs . It's definitely not him . Honestly , I can't figure out who this guy is or what he's after . " Though often arrogant , Elias was no fool , and his analysis was thorough . Emma nodded thoughtfully , but she couldn't even piece the puzzle together . As they continued walking , they neared the edge of the moat . Emma's instincts suddenly kicked in , and she froze in place . Alertly , Elias followed her lead while his eyes scanned the shadows ahead .

A figure emerged from the darkness , stepping into the moonlight . It was a young man in black , no older than twenty - five , with a curved sword on his back . " So , this is the famous Tri - Peak Sect , huh ? I've heard a lot about you two , but let's see if you're any better than the weaklings I've taken down so far ! " the man stated , smirking .
