The young man who had just walked over and taken a seat in the first row was Leander.

Earlier, he had exchanged a few words with Julian backstage. Then, he stopped by the hotel front desk to get himself a glass of milk.

Only after the bell rang throughout the venue did he finally arrive at an unhurried pace.

Most of the martial artists present, including sect leaders and heads of great families, had already seen Leander before. Only some younger martial artists who had been brought along to gain experience did not recognize him.

So, at this moment, many of them were secretly shaken that Leander was here.

The young man beside Kian stared at Leander, shock written all over his face. He could not understand how Leander had ended up sitting in the first row, nor how he dared to do so.

Among the younger generation, even a rising prodigy like Kian could only barely sit in the fifth row.

Talents such as Claire and Violet were seated there as well, but Leander had moved straight forward without hesitation and taken a seat in the first row.

It was not just anywhere in the first row, but directly in the center position.

It was obvious he had no regard whatsoever for the four century–old King Phase masters in the front row.

Anyone who dared sit alongside those four was either blindly arrogant–or certain he possessed the strength to stand as their equal, if not above them, yet Leander looked only one or two years older than him.

How could he possibly compare with those century–old martial artists?

What confused him even more was that after Leander sat down so casually and freely, the four century–old King Phase masters beside him acted as though they had seen nothing. Aside from the Mistwalker letting out a heavy snort, the others showed no reaction at all, as if they had silently permitted it.

He turned toward Kian and lowered his voice. “Kian, that guy has taken a seat in the middle of the front row… is he crazy? Is he not afraid that the four King Phase masters will tear him apart?”

He waited for Kian’s reply, only to realize Kian was staring blankly ahead. His expression was shifting rapidly, and his gaze was unusually serious. “Kian, what’s wrong?”

He lightly patted Kian’s shoulder as he spoke.

Only then did Kian come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and murmured, “I did not expect him to come too!”

“Him?” The young man looked even more stunned. “You mean that young man?

“Who is he?”

Kian recalled the battle at Southern Shore, where Leander had swept through countless peak Transcendent Realm martial artists with overwhelming dominance.

He could not help drawing in a sharp breath before saying shakily, “If you ask who among the younger generation of the Astria martial world is qualified to stand on equal footing with King Phase masters, he is the only one! He is the living legend of this era, Jeff Ashcroft!”

The

young man’s eyes widened with shock, and he nearly jumped out of his chair.

“What? My god, that is Jeff?”

Leander’s achievements had already become legend throughout today’s Astria martial world. The older generation regarded him with awe and respect, while nearly every young martial artist treated him as an idol and lifelong role model.

He had never imagined meeting this living legend in such a situation.

The other young martial artists inside the auction hall also learned Leander’s identity through introductions from their elders. The doubt and confusion in their eyes quickly turned into reverence and admiration.

Those who had previously been reluctant to come now grew excited, secretly glad they had followed their elders here.

Otherwise, how could they possibly witness the most legendary figure in the Astrian martial world?

Violet remained seated, yet her alluring eyes stayed fixed on Leander. Leaning back in his chair with one leg crossed, he appeared relaxed and completely unrestrained, causing the light in her gaze to grow even brighter.

King Phase masters of the present era were already regarded as the strongest beings alive, while those who had reached the century mark stood on an entirely higher level.

Yet Leander, not even twenty years old, moved effortlessly among these century–old King Phase masters, completely at case, as though he held the entire situation under his control. Among the younger generation, no one could rival such a presence.

She watched Leander for a long moment before suddenly smiling and speaking softly. “Harmony can’t hold a candle to him!”

Sitting beside her, Claire neither agreed nor disagreed.

Harmony of Lingster and Violet of Envine stood side by side as supreme prodigies beyond the Nine Geniuses. But no matter how outstanding they were, how could they compare with the Iron Sovereign, whose might shook the world and who could defeat thousands alone?

Harmony possessed extraordinary martial talent and had received personal instruction from Master Branson since childhood. His cultivation had already reached the Transcendent Realm, yet even so, he still stood below King Phase masters.

Not only that, even among Transcendent Realm martial artists, he ranked near the lower tier.

Meanwhile, Leander had already fought across the world, standing against century–old King Phase masters and even slashing down supersonic fighter jets with a single strike. The gap between them was obvious.

She gently stroked the Abyssal Godblade before suddenly asking, “Violet, are you reconsidering your choice of partner?”

A faint blush spread across Violet’s face.

After a moment’s thought, she shook her head.

“It is still too early to talk about that. But he is already acknowledged as the strongest of our generation. That is no longer disputed! My wish to see him has already been fulfilled! Right now, what I want most is to watch him fight with my own eyes and witness his true strength!”

Claire’s eyes narrowed slightly as she nodded.

Not only Violet, but even she, who had once witnessed Leander dominate the Southern Shore, felt deeply curious about his current strength.

Since Leander’s identity had been revealed, unrest spread among the younger crowd in the

auction hall.

Just then, a male voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall.

“It seems today’s guests have all arrived. I now announce, the Lowell family’s tenth martial

auction officially begins!”

As the words fell, Julian appeared on the auction stage, dressed in a silk tunic.

Since establishing themselves in Ravenridge more than 100 years ago, the Lowell family had hosted an auction every ten years, inviting members of the martial world. This was the tenth

auction.

Standing before everyone, Julian lifted his palm. Invisible force seeped beneath the auction stage, and ten auction pillars suddenly rose upward from below, settling firmly into place.

Inside each crystal display atop the pillars appeared an item; they were clearly tonight’s auction pieces.

“These are the ten auction items for tonight. The Lowell family auction has always been known for simplicity and efficiency. We never waste time, and tonight is no exception!

“All unnecessary procedures are skipped. I now announce the auction of the first item, a thousand–year–old spirit reishi excavated from Eldergreen Highlands!

“The effects of the thousand–year–old spirit reishi need no further introduction. The starting bid is thirty million; bidding begins now. Those with the highest offer wins!”

Julian’s voice rang firmly, and no one dared object. The Lowell family had stood firmly in Ravenridge for over a century under Julian’s protection as a King Phase master.

No one dared act recklessly.
