Half a day later, the tournament reached its thunderous conclusion. With Evan Chu’s awe-inspiring return, both Ethan Chu and Lynn Chu fought like their lives depended on it, unleashing their martial skills to the absolute limit. The crowd watched in breathless amazement as the siblings crushed all challengers—first and second place were theirs, beyond question.
Lynn Chu could have easily claimed first place, but as the younger sister—and a girl—she graciously yielded the top spot to her brother. Third place went to a disciple from Freewind Palace, fourth to Sacred Sword Sect...
To Ethan and Lynn, the official tournament rewards were utterly meaningless. What they truly craved were Evan Chu’s personal treasures—anything belonging to the number-one expert was sure to defy the heavens themselves.
The tournament ended to waves of astonishment. Evan Chu’s return made the whole event legendary—many hurried home through the Teleportation Gate, while others lingered, hoping to bask in the afterglow of greatness.
News of Evan Chu’s return to Frostbane Sect swept across the Divine Continent like wildfire, instantly turning Frostbane into a sacred ground for every youth who dreamed of becoming a true powerhouse.
After the competition, everyone assembled in the Frostbane Grand Hall. Evan Chu, of course, took his seat at the very top. Only the highest-ranking figures from every major power were allowed inside, and being able to see Evan again sent a surge of excitement through their hearts.
Evan immediately had Joan He prepare a grand banquet—now that he’d returned, he had to honor these old friends. While he’d been away, they’d gone above and beyond to protect Frostbane Sect.
Ethan and Lynn sat right beside Evan Chu’s throne. Selena Yale and Selena both tried to scold them for breaking etiquette, but Evan just waved it off; in his eyes, they’d always be his children, no matter how old they grew.
“My return to Frostbane Sect isn’t just for show—I have a mission. The most important thing is to help everyone power up as quickly as possible, so you can ascend to the Immortal Realm sooner than anyone else.”
“Let me share some truly explosive news: Frostbane Sect now stands tall in the Immortal Realm too, though up there it’s called Frostbane Imperial Palace, and I’m the Palace Lord. Among the four great powers of the Immortal Realm, Frostbane Imperial Palace is hands-down the strongest. As long as you ascend, you’ll have the Palace’s protection—no one will dare touch you!” Evan Chu declared.
