BOOM!
Da Vinci slowly stepped forward until he stood directly before Tony and Emma. The pressure released from his body rivaled the vast ocean itself. Countless academy elders immediately straightened their backs.
Every disciple of the Nine Lotus Academy felt their blood boil with excitement.
Da Vinci slowly drew his ancient weapon before slamming its end heavily against the ground.
The entire coastline trembled.
His calm voice echoed across heaven and earth.
"I… Da Vinci… Son of Mo Vinci. Promise before every faction gathered here… that whoever dares lay a finger upon the disciples of my Nine Lotus Academy..."
His weapon pointed directly toward the Demonic Sea Tribe.
"...must first cross me."
Silence followed… Absolute silence. Even Luka remained quiet. For several long moments, neither side moved.
Finally… Luka slowly lowered her hand. Her terrifying aura gradually receded.
She looked toward the Demonic Sea Tribe experts. "Retreat."
The command stunned everyone.
