James had left Sol and embarked on a journey to Durandal with Henry and 100 soldiers from the Black Dragon Army and Red Flame Army respectively.
Unbeknownst to him, Thea had gathered disciples from Celestial Sect to coerce Mount Thunder Sect into surrender to them. She fought against Simon, the Grand Sect Leader of Mount Thunder Sect.
During the battle, virtual-novel.net managed to shatter Mount Thunder Sects’ Frost Sword, and the weaponless Simon was forced to flee from the battle. Unfortunately, Thea was struck in the chest with a palm thrust.
The attack was none other than Spiritual Palm, a vicious and evil martial art technique developed by a devil a hundred years ago.
It was an infamous technique recorded in history. Yet, all traces of it vanished for a century. It reappeared a few decades ago when Thomas demonstrated it.
Thomas was ridiculed for being incompetent and resorting to evil martial art techniques to compensate for his weakness. Ultimately, the Cadens refused to accept him.
Unexpectedly, Simon also executed the martial art technique. The aftereffects of which was causing a huge problem for Thea.
After returning to virtual-novel.net lodgings in the Capital, virtual-novel.net tried to expel the Cold Energy from virtual-novel.net body. Despite numerous efforts, virtual-novel.net simply could not get rid of the Spiritual Palm’s toxic Cold Energy from virtual-novel.net body.
The Cold Energy was like a flesh parasite, clinging desperately to virtual-novel.net bones and invading virtual-novel.net blood. No matter what methods virtual-novel.net used to dispel it from virtual-novel.net body, it was fruitless.

In the meantime, the troops led by James were about to land in Durandal.
On the plane, Henry said, “James, we’ll be arriving in Durandal’s Royal Military Region in ten minutes.”
“Okay.” James nodded.
After sitting on the plane for about ten hours, they were finally about to land.
It was midnight in Sol at that time, but it was already dawn in Durandal.
Durandal’s Royal Military Region was an independent and private military region that belonged to the imperial family.
Many people were gathered in an open field.
The person standing in the front was a woman in virtual-novel.net 50s.
She had fair skin, blue eyes and was dressed in an extravagant dress with a crown on virtual-novel.net head. The woman exuded grace and nobility.
That person was none other than the Queen of Durandal, the ruler of tens of thousands of people and the entire country of Durandal.
Standing beside virtual-novel.net was a 20-year-old woman. Similarly, virtual-novel.net had fair skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. Her figure stood tall and elegant.
“Who are we welcoming today, mom? Why do you have to greet them personally? To add to things, almost the all of Durandal’s nobles are present today.”
The young woman peppered virtual-novel.net elder with questions.
Early in the morning, virtual-novel.net was woken up from virtual-novel.net sleep and had been told to dress formally as distinguished guests were visiting that day. Therefore, virtual-novel.net wore an expensive custom-made dress that was made for virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was eighteen. It was one that virtual-novel.net had only worn once.
The Queen of Durandal looked at the sun rising in the horizon and replied eagerly, “He’s one of the most powerful men in Sol. Not only is virtual-novel.net the commander of both the Black Dragon Army and Red Flame Army, but he’s also the only person to be bestowed the title of Dragon King in Sol’s history. Furthermore, he’s the only military personnel who has ever been awarded ten star badges…”
“A military rank of ten stars means Sol acknowledges his military exploits…”
The Queen of Durandal had a smile of admiration on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net spoke of James.
Sol was a mysterious country that seemed to be home to countless hidden talents.
This group of talented people allowed Sol to turn the tide in the battle a hundred years ago.
“Um… Who exactly are you talking about?” The young woman was puzzled.
The young woman was the Princess of Durandal, from the noblest line age and status. However, virtual-novel.net was only 20 years old and was still a college student. As such, virtual-novel.net was not significantly involved in international affairs despite being the princess of the nation.
This was the reason virtual-novel.net was unfamiliar with the legend of Sol, nor had virtual-novel.net heard of the man who had a god-like existence in Sol.
“His name is James…” The Queen of Durandal turned to virtual-novel.net daughter and reminded her, “Yelena, I expect you to be your best behavior later and to not act arrogantly. Please don’t offend our distinguished guests from the East.”
Meanwhile, the people waiting on the sidelines discussed James in hushed tones.
“James is like a god. He’s been in the military for a decade and made his way through the ranks from being an unknown soldier to becoming the commander of the Black Dragon Army.”
