"I’ll go next"
Suddenly, The air around the battlefield grew colder as the Ice Jade Princess spoke up while she stepped forward, her expression icy and calm. The temperature dropped noticeably, and a faint frost began to coat the ground beneath her feet. She was no stranger to powerful opponents, and though she had witnessed Aron’s overwhelming strength, she did not falter.
"I’ll take the next fight," she said, her voice steady as she faced Aron.
Aron, with a dismissive smirk, rolled his shoulders. "Another one? Fine, I’ll end this qui—"
Before he could finish, Selene, who had been standing silently beside him, suddenly raised her hand and blocked his path. "No, Aron. Let me handle this one," she said calmly, her voice carrying an air of authority that even Aron didn’t challenge.
Aron raised an eyebrow but said nothing, stepping back and allowing Selene to step forward in his place. The Ice Jade Princess’s cold eyes narrowed as she shifted her gaze to Selene, who exuded an aura of chaos that was different from her brother’s. There was something even more unnerving about Selene—the way she moved, the way her energy felt...
it was as if she thrived in the balance between chaos and order.
"You think you can handle me?" the Ice Jade Princess asked, summoning her ice magic. A storm of freezing winds and shards of ice began to form around her, her mana surging as she prepared to unleash a flurry of attacks.
Selene simply smiled, her chaotic energy swirling around her like a living entity. "I don’t think, Ice Princess. I know."
Without warning, the Ice Jade Princess unleashed a torrent of ice shards, sharp and deadly, aimed directly at Selene. The sheer intensity of the attack would have overwhelmed most opponents, but Selene didn’t flinch. With a mere flick of her wrist, her chaotic mana surged forward, creating a swirling barrier of energy that effortlessly absorbed the ice shards and disintegrated them mid-air.
The Ice Jade Princess’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her strongest opening attack had been neutralized in an instant. But she wasn’t one to back down so easily. With a sharp command, the ground beneath them began to freeze over as massive pillars of ice erupted from the ground, aiming to encase Selene in an unbreakable prison.
But once again, Selene barely moved. Her chaotic energy shifted, shattering the ice pillars before they could fully form. And in the next moment, Selene struck.
With blinding speed, she was upon the Ice Jade Princess, her chaotic energy crackling around her like lightning. The Ice Jade Princess tried to summon her defenses, raising a barrier of ice to protect herself, but it was no use. Selene’s fist, wreathed in chaotic energy, broke through the barrier like it was paper.
The impact sent the Ice Jade Princess hurtling backward, crashing into the ground with a pained gasp.
The Ice Jade Princess struggled to rise, her body trembling from the force of Selene’s attack. She tried to summon more ice, but her mana felt sluggish, like it was being overwhelmed by the sheer force of Selene’s chaotic energy.
"Too slow," Selene said coldly as she appeared above the Ice Jade Princess in an instant. Before the Ice Jade Princess could react, Selene delivered a devastating kick to her midsection, sending her crashing into the ground once again. This time, the impact left a crater, and the Ice Jade Princess coughed up blood, her body unable to withstand the merciless onslaught.
Baff!!!
Selene descended slowly, landing gracefully beside her fallen opponent. She looked down at the Ice Jade Princess, who lay battered and broken, her ice magic completely nullified.
"You fought well," Selene said, her tone mocking. "But you’re far too weak to stand against the chaos."
The Ice Jade Princess, barely conscious, glared up at Selene, but it was clear she could do nothing more. She had been completely outclassed in every way. Selene had toyed with her, showing no mercy and making it clear that this battle was never in the Ice Jade Princess’s favor.
The students and the pillars of the Academy watched in stunned silence. The Fleeting Spear had been defeated by Aron, but Selene’s merciless takedown of the Ice Jade Princess was even more shocking. There was no doubt that the Dragonyx siblings were on a completely different level.
As Selene stepped back, satisfied with her victory, she glanced over at Aron with a smirk. "See? I told you I could handle it."

Aron chuckled softly, nodding. "Fine. But don’t hog all the fun."
General Cao and the other pillars exchanged grim looks. The situation had escalated far beyond what they had anticipated. Selene and Aron were far more dangerous than they had realized, and the Academy’s top students were being crushed with ease.
But the battles were far from over. The next challenger had to step forward, even as the looming threat of the Dragonyx family grew ever more apparent.
The air grew tense as the Ice Jade Princess lay defeated, and the atmosphere around the Dragonyx siblings was thick with a palpable aura of superiority. Aron stood with his arms crossed, his chaotic mana rippling beneath the surface, while Selene regarded her fallen opponent with cold indifference.
Suddenly, without warning, a shadow streaked through the air—silent, precise, and deadly. The Dark Prince had made his move. His dark mana cloaked him like a living shroud, allowing him to blend into the shadows as he struck from behind, aiming directly for Selene’s unprotected back.
Everyone in the vicinity—students, pillars, and even Aron—was caught off guard. It was a calculated attack, a rare moment where even Selene seemed vulnerable. The Dark Prince’s dagger, wreathed in dark energy, shot forward with the intent to incapacitate.
But just as the blade was inches from Selene, she turned with inhuman speed. Her chaotic mana erupted, meeting the dagger mid-strike, and the resulting clash sent a shockwave through the air. The force of the impact repelled the Dark Prince, sending him skidding backward, his eyes wide with disbelief. He had miscalculated. Severely.
Selene’s eyes narrowed, and her lips curled into a dangerous smile. "A sneak attack? How bold."
The others were frozen in shock—none had expected such a brazen move from the Dark Prince. He was known for his calculated tactics, but this time he had severely underestimated his opponent.
Before anyone could react further, Aron’s eyes flared with rage. The sight of the Dark Prince’s attack triggered something primal in him. Without a word, Aron leaped forward, his chaotic mana flaring wildly around him as he descended upon the Dark Prince like a hurricane.
"You dare!" Aron roared, his voice filled with unbridled fury.
The Dark Prince barely had time to recover from his failed attack before Aron’s fist, crackling with chaotic energy, slammed into his chest with terrifying force. The Dark Prince’s body crumpled under the impact, and he was sent crashing into the ground, the earth shattering beneath him. Aron didn’t stop there.
He grabbed the Dark Prince by the throat, lifting him into the air as if he weighed nothing, and delivered a brutal series of blows to his body.
The Dark Prince’s dark mana struggled to form any sort of defense, but Aron’s strength was overwhelming. Each strike from Aron was like a hammer, breaking through the Dark Prince’s defenses with ease. Blood sprayed from the Dark Prince’s mouth, his once imposing figure now looking fragile under the relentless onslaught.
Seeing this, the other top students, except for the mysterious swordsman who stood still and observed, sprang into action. Lila, the Fleeting Spear, and the Ice Jade Princess—still battered from her earlier fight—rushed forward to try and rescue the Dark Prince from Aron’s merciless beating.
"Stop!" Lila shouted, her voice desperate as she unleashed a barrage of ice spears toward Aron. The Fleeting Spear followed, charging forward with his spear in hand, while the Ice Jade Princess summoned the last of her strength to create a defensive barrier between Aron and the Dark Prince.
But Selene was already moving.
With a single glance at Aron, she smirked and joined the fray. Her chaotic mana flared, and in an instant, she was upon them, intercepting the rescue attempt with brutal efficiency. Lila’s ice spears disintegrated as they collided with Selene’s mana, and the Fleeting Spear found himself parrying Selene’s chaotic strikes with desperate precision.
The Ice Jade Princess’s barrier crumbled under the sheer force of Selene’s attacks, and soon she was on the ground again, helpless against the siblings’ overwhelming power.
Aron, meanwhile, continued his assault on the Dark Prince, slamming him into the ground with enough force to create a crater. The other students were powerless to stop him, each of their attempts easily countered or nullified by Selene.
"You’re weak," Aron snarled at the Dark Prince, his eyes glowing with barely contained fury. "You thought you could touch her? You’re nothing."
Selene’s chaotic energy swirled around her like a storm, and with a powerful blast, she sent Lila and the Fleeting Spear crashing backward, their bodies hitting the ground with sickening thuds. The Ice Jade Princess, already severely injured, was barely conscious, and Lila groaned in pain as she struggled to rise.
The battle was over almost before it began. The Dragonyx siblings stood victorious, their chaotic mana still crackling in the air, while the academy’s top students lay defeated at their feet.
The sight was enough to silence the crowd. Even General Cao and the other pillars watched in stunned disbelief. They had known the Dragonyx were powerful, but to see them utterly dismantle the academy’s strongest students was another thing entirely.
Aron released the Dark Prince, who fell limply to the ground, barely clinging to consciousness. He turned to General Cao with a satisfied grin. "I think that’s enough for now. Why don’t you just bring out Kaelen and prevent your precious students from suffering more"
Selene nodded, her expression cold and calm as always. "Agreed."
The two siblings stood together, their dominance undisputed, as the rest of the academy watched in helpless silence. The challenge was clear—anyone who stood against the Dragonyx family would face the same fate.
