“Stop right there.”

Leander’s voice rang out clearly. The moment the word left his lips, Jacklyn and Melanie–who had been following the dark–haired man–suddenly froze in place.

The haze in their eyes instantly cleared, as if they had just woken from a strange dream. Both gasped at the same time.

“Huh?”

They looked at each other in shock, completely unaware of how they had ended up at the staircase. They had no memory of anything that happened after the man came over to offer them a drink.

Seeing them stop, the dark–haired man’s expression stiffened. He turned sharply toward Leander, his pupils shifting.

“It was you, wasn’t it? What did you do? You actually broke my Hypnosis Art!”

The technique he practiced allowed him to transmit power through eye contact, fully hypnotizing anyone who met his gaze and turning them into obedient puppets.

He had already reached the peak of Kindling Transcendent, and anyone below the Transcendent Realm should have been unable to resist or break his hypnosis. Yet, Leander had shattered it with a single command and restored the girls‘ awareness.

Other than the master who had taught him everything, he couldn’t imagine anyone else capable of such a feat.

“Hypnosis Art?” Leander picked up the pina colada the man had brought and took a small sip before shaking his head dismissively.

“It’s just a minor hypnotic trick. It’s slightly more advanced than what those so–called psychology experts use, perhaps. How dare you call it an art? It’s ridiculous.”

He set the glass down calmly.

“Take this pina colada, for example. It’s colorful and flavorful, but still a mixed drink meant for casual entertainment. It can’t stand in the realm of something refined.”

With just a glance, Leander had already seen through the man’s methods. It reminded him somewhat of a descendant of the Augurey family he had once killed. But that clan’s enthrallment ability was an innate gift of their bloodline. What this man used was merely an enhanced version of hypnosis, which was far inferior.

In Leander’s eyes, even true enthrallment was nothing impressive, let alone this so–called hypnosis art.

But hearing Leander belittle it, the dark–haired man was instantly enraged.

All his abilities had been taught by his master, and this Hypnosis Art was his master’s proud creation. With it, his master had once enslaved nearly a hundred Martial Sovereigns and ten Transcendent Realm experts, building immense power.

Yet in Leander’s mouth, it was worthless and compared to an improper cocktail. It was a direct insult to his master’s legacy.

“Who are you to insult my master? To call our supreme technique a mere side trick?” He pointed at Leander, his eyes narrowing with dangerous light.

Earlier, when they brushed past each other, he had sensed something unusual about Leander. Now he was certain that this man

was no ordinary person. Otherwise, he couldn’t have broken his technique with a single word.

“You’re not qualified to ask who I am,” Leander said casually, lifting his glass without even looking at him. “Maybe if your master were here, he might have the right.”

He continued, “Earlier downstairs, you drained that woman’s vitality to strengthen yourself. I should have killed you. But she walked into your trap willingly, so I didn’t interfere. Now that you’re right in front of me, how dare you use the dark arts for your own cultivation? You’re asking for a death wish.”

The dark–haired man’s pupils shrank sharply.

“You want to kill me?”

He didn’t know Leander’s identity or background. There wasn’t even obvious killing intent in Leander’s tone.

Yet for some reason, a wave of cold fear wrapped around him. A terror he had never felt before filled his heart.

The man standing before him gave him an unprecedented sense of danger.

The other customers on the second floor looked on in confusion, unable to understand what the two were talking about.

Leander, however, only smiled faintly.

“I won’t kill you.”

He slowly raised his hand and extended one finger.

“But from today on, you’ll never use those evil techniques again.”

The young man’s expression shifted slightly, not understanding what Leander meant. At that instant, a powerful force surged toward him. Before he could react, a sharp burst of finger energy pierced through the air and struck his lower abdomen.

An overwhelmingly violent power erupted from his core, racing through his limbs and invading every meridian in his body.

His face changed drastically. He tried to circulate his innate vitality to suppress it, but the refined energy he had cultivated for decades crumbled the moment it touched that force–like a lamb meeting a starving wolf. It was completely suppressed, unable to

esist at all.

‘How is this possible?”

‘anic filled his heart. The force surged along his meridians, then exploded inside him like a volcano, shattering the martial vein in

is chest in one blow.

Pfft!” He spat out another mouthful of blood and staggered back five steps until he hit the wall at the corner of the second floor. ‘retty soon, all color drained from his face.

His arm trembled as he pointed at Leander, his voice nearly hysterical.

It was you… You destroyed my cultivation?”

.eander casually withdrew his hand, his tone as cold as ever. “If you want revenge, come find me anytime. Now get lost.”

The dark–haired man felt his mind buzzing, his body on the verge of collapse. He had reached the peak of Ember Transcendent and was only one step away from entering the Infernal Crown Transcendent.

Yet with a single finger from Leander, thirty years of bitter cultivation had been erased.

Anger surged in him, but even stronger was shock. To cripple his cultivation with one strike–such strength was comparable to bis

master’s.

What was more, Leander looked so young. How could he possess such terrifying power?

But he had no time to think. The loss of his cultivation drove him nearly insane.
