The Pinnacle of Strength

The pinnacle of Martial Arts represents the highest level of combat. Such individuals are often extremely warlike; they never crave Divine Strength, yet possess strength comparable to that of Divine Strength. 69ƧΉЦX.ᄃӨM

Jax was not modest; he considered himself to have reached the pinnacle of Martial Arts, capable of using his refined techniques to counter any powerful force.

Many others possess this potential but lack guidance, and he is now playing that mentor role.

The pinnacle of magic represents earth-shattering power, capable of moving mountains and filling oceans. However, those who reach this level are extremely rare, with only the legendary Archmage Morello once being bestowed the title of the pinnacle of magic.

The pinnacle of Natural Power, in stark contrast to magic, represents creativity, utilizing elements such as wind, thunder, water, fire, light, and darkness to construct a wondrous world.

In terms of power, the pinnacle of magic is no weaker than the pinnacle of Natural Power. However, the process of creation is much more difficult than the process of destruction, so Jax tacitly acknowledges that Natural Power are superior to magic.

There are more people who reach this level than those at the pinnacle of magic, but most of them have been granted godhood and become Demigods, such as Janna, the God of Wind of Ionia, Ivern, Kindred God of Wood god, God of Death, and Volibear of Freljord, who were all originally human.

As for the pinnacle of Divine Strength, Jax was unsure. He had never seen a god, nor did he know if gods existed, but judging from various signs, they did.

Otherwise, where does the power of Demigods come from? And how are Ascended born? These are all difficult to explain.

Finally Jax addressed my doubts. "Since you have mastered a higher level of power, your starting point is also higher. The reason I say this is because many people haven't had your extraordinary encounter. If they want to face powerful enemies, they have to rely on their superior Martial Arts."

"So that's how it is, I understand! In that case, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the Vastaya by forming an alliance with someone skilled in Martial Arts?"

"To reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts, hard work alone isn't enough; you also need immense self-confidence. This confidence comes from the very essence of humanity, something not everyone possesses, and you don't have it!"

Jax made no attempt to hide it, but he was right; I certainly didn't have that kind of confidence.

When it really comes to a critical moment, I will definitely still rely on the Wind Force or Spiritual Power, but that doesn't matter. I will refine both to their peak and become equally powerful!

Thank you for your guidance; I have benefited greatly from today's instruction!

"Haha, I'll be going then. I'll need to find more powerful individuals to deal with the Vastaya. Until we meet again!"

"Wait, Master Jax, can I ask you something else?"

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Have you ever met the person who guided the Icathia mage to open the void rift?"

"I've seen him, but he was very well disguised, so I didn't see his face or know his name. I'm sorry I can't answer you."

"I want to know, is this person male or female?"

"Men, I'm sure of that!"

Jax left after speaking, and everyone was impressed by him, including Varus, who had initially been hostile towards him.

"He was a remarkable man, a mortal who stood on the same level as the gods!"

Sivir patted him on the shoulder. "So we have to work hard too. Don't think that the Ascended Power is so great. Only when we reach his level can we be considered true Ascended, and only then will we live up to the name of the Celestial Warrior!"

I admire him just as much, but right now I'm thinking about the last question. If his answer is "woman," then I can be sure it's Evelynn, but he's absolutely certain it's a man.

Could Evelynn have accomplices? We were just beginning to suspect Aatrox's frequent appearances of the Vastaya, and now there's another unidentified person involved. This is really a headache!

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Introduce us!" Sivir interrupted my thoughts.

"She is Fiora, a swordswoman from the Laurent Family, one of the five great families of Demacia, just like Jarvan. The other is the master swordsmith she hired, Jergente."

"To be precise, Jergente is my fiancé," Fiora corrected.

"Oh! A master swordsman and a master swordsmith, you two are a perfect match!" Sivir offered her heartfelt congratulations, but I felt quite disappointed.

I felt their relationship wasn't just casual when I last saw them. Fiora even told me I was overthinking it, but I never expected they'd confirm their relationship in just over two months.

She was the first person I met when I came into this world, and we once had feelings for each other. Although we are now just friends, I still have a strange feeling, as if my memories have been stolen.

It's a selfish thought, but also very real. I even had a match with Jergente because of it last time.

Seeing that I suddenly stopped talking and stopped introducing myself, Sivir took over the conversation:

"This is Varus, an Ascended. That's Wukong, Yasuo's Wukong, a Vastaya. My name is Sivir, and like Varus, I'm Ascended. I'm currently Yasuo's fiancée."

Hearing her self-introduction, I almost spat out blood. Even jokes should be made in the right context, right?

Sure enough, Fiora's gaze towards me changed, as if a sharp sword had pierced my chest. I quickly explained:

"Don't talk nonsense! Fiora is my good friend, she knows me very well!"

"That's strange. I just wished them both well, so why didn't she wish us well when she heard me?"

"Because she knows you're talking nonsense!"

"Okay, not yet, but soon!"

"Hurry up, my foot!" I wanted to scold her, but I didn't say it in front of Fiora. She was very polite and disliked foul language.

"Sivir likes to joke, don't mind her."

"Of course I don't mind, and I can tell she's a good girl, and a legendary Ascended at that. You don't have that kind of luck!"

"Yes, yes, of course I'm not good enough for her. Being friends with her is already a luxury."

"Smooth talker! By the way, what brings you to Demacia this time?"

"Actually, we share the same goal as Jax: to find powerful allies to fight the Vastaya. Now it seems you won't refuse, will you?"

Where to?

Ionia.

"I promise you, it's been so many years since I've been out and about. I've never been to Ionia yet. You guys come back with me, I need to pack some things."

"You go pack first, I'm going to the Eastern Plains to find Jarvan, we can't do without him!"

Fiora is very clean, so she'll probably have a lot of things to pack when she gets back. We might as well go find Jarvan first.

It is now early winter, and the vegetation on the eastern plains is withered and yellow. A huge stone statue stands there, as if it were the guardian of this plain.

A group of people were gathered around the Galio statue; without a doubt, they were Jarvan and the mages from the Tabor Family.

Before we even got close, we were stopped by several soldiers who didn't recognize me, so I had no choice but to call Jarvan over.
