Chapter 519

• "Do you remember the legendary grandmaster Ezekiel Hodges?" Sage inquired, his eyes gleaming with nostalgia and reverence for the martial arts icon.
• Emmanuel's surprise was palpable as he responded, "Him? Of course, I remember him vividly. He was more than just a grandmaster; he was a living legend. Forty-five years of unwavering dedication to the martial arts, establishing his own sect, and even gracing the Northern Territory with his wisdom. I had the privilege of sparring with him once, and let me tell you, his prowess was unparalleled. His moves were like poetry in motion, and try as I might, I couldn't land a single blow."
• Sage nodded knowingly, reminiscing about their encounter with the grandmaster. "Indeed, you were one of the few who could match his skill. The rest of us would have been mere fodder in his presence."
