Chapter 176
"You insolent cur! How dare you bark at me." Marak seethed with anger. He hadn''t even sought
revenge, and yet vin dared to provoke him.
"Shall we spar then?" vin shoved Vinos'' head aside and stepped into the pool. His gaze was
sharp as a de, unblinkingly fixed on Marak. A palpable aura of intimidation filled the pool.
Vinos touched his head, thinking, “By the gods, he dared to push me.” Vinos red at vin, but
vin paid him no heed. After a long stare, Vinos deted.
vin sneered, considering Marak, a scion of House Viperbane, utter rubbish, a scum unworthy of
proposing to Celesse. He even tried to use the secrets of Botanic Haven as a threat! He hadn’t had
the chance to deal with Marak before, but now was the opportunity, and he definitely nned to
draw blood today.
Marak sneered back. "Who do you think you are? Just because you''ve won a few bouts, you
think..."
p! vin''s hand struck Marak''s face. The sound of the p echoed across the pool.
Marak staggered, nearly slipping into the pool. His head turned to the side, blood trickled from his
mouth, and a bright red handprint slowly appeared on his cheek.
By the gods. The young nobles shivered, their mouths agape.
Marak was stunned, truly stunned. Had vin struck him? How dare he?
"Please, let''s be reasonable," the guards were truly rmed, but they were watching in confusion.
What had happened? How had this fight broken out so suddenly?
"How dare you strike me?" Marak slowly raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot with rage, staring
venomously at vin. "In all my life, no one has dared..."
p! With another resounding p, vin struck hard, sending Marak stumbling back, slipping,
and falling backward with a loud ssh, water spraying in all directions.
"Enough!" Marak roared to his feet. A mighty aura surged from him, the pool roiled, and the wooden
walls of the chamber shook from the force.

vin stepped forward, his frenzied aura trembling the very air around him. A mighty Shockwave
Cobra hissed into existence, its form crackling with electric energy and emitting sharp, intense
sounds. Shockwave Cobra coiled in front of his chest, gathering strength along his arms before he
unleashed it furiously towards Marak.
With its fierce momentum and thunderous roar, Shockwave Cobra struck Marak again, sending him
flying through the air. The brutal lightning tore through his flesh, and a powerful force flung him
away. With a swift grasp, vin caught Marak''s ankle. His body shook slightly as he channeled his
full strength and hurled Marak with great force.
Thud, thud, thud. Marak tumbled repeatedly, smashing through the room and crashing into the one
opposite, leaving a trail of crimson blood in his wake.
Vinos and the others gasped in shock! Madness, utter madness, trouble was brewing!
Cedrick and Balder rushed out, clueless about what had transpired. Doors of nearby rooms swung
open as onlookers poked their heads out, wondering what had caused themotion. What had
started as an argument had now escted into a full-blown fight.
"Lord vin, what are you doing?" The guards hastened to restrain vin, signaling that enough
was enough.
"vin, let''s talk this out; no need for violence." Vinos and the others were petrified; this madman
was wild in the arena and even more so in everyday life. Marak was a Novice Mage at Stage VIII,
while vin was a formidable Stage IX, ranking among the top five in The sh of Eight Orders. If
it came down to a real fight, five Maraks wouldn''t be enough to withstand vin''s wrath.
"vin... how dare you..." Marak struggled to his feet, his body aching and tingling from the electric
shocks.
"What''s wrong, Lord Marak? Looking quite ragged there. Without your guards, you can barely
stand, can you?" vin shoved the guards aside and strode towards Marak.
