By midnight, the news of Kent King joining Combat Peak under Master Lao spread like wildfire throughout the Royal Academy.
Whispers echoed in training halls, dormitories, and even the alchemy and mage peaks.
"A mere alchemist stepping into combat?" Some sneered in disbelief."Master Lao personally accepted him? Impossible!"
Others were utterly shocked.Many started digging into Kent's origins, eager to learn more about this rising figure.
By dawn, the entire academy buzzed with one question: Who exactly is Kent King?

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold glow over the Combat Peak. Deep within the Hua Family's quarters, a group of disciples sat in a dimly lit hall, their expressions dark with anger and frustration.
"That bastard Kent—he actually joined the Combat Peak under Master Lao!" one of them spat, slamming his fist on the wooden table.
"Not just that," another disciple, Hua Ren, sneered. "Master Lao personally took Kent as his disciple!"
