After downing an entire bottle of strong liquor, Santiago flipped to his feet
with surprising agility. Swaying slightly, he flashed a grin at Emmanuel. “Want a bottle too?*
With a flick of his wrist, four large gourd-shaped wine bottles dangled from
his belt.
Everyone around was stunned.
What kind of drunk carries around gallons of booze?
"Why not? Hand me one!"
Emmanuel was ready to warm up, and with a flick of his wrist, he shrugged
off his jacket.
Santiago smirked and, with a snap of his fingers, sent one of the bottles flying

right into Emmanuel's hand.
Their smooth, effortless coordination was mesmetting capturing the
attention of everyone watching.
"Quick! Do as Emmanuel says and get the helicopters and engineeing teone ready!*
Ethan wasted no time, issuing commands without hesitation.
His assistants scrambled to carry out his commands.
Meanwhile, Chester, who had previously shown no interest in the disaster
relief efforts-it wasn't his job or responsibility-couldn't help but throw in a
snide remark.
"Mr. Hale, what you're doing is pointless! There's no way human strength can handle this. You're just sending them to their deaths!"
As a top-tier martial artist himself, Chester knew his own limits. Jumping into
a raging flood was a death sentence, let alone trying to hold up boulders

"I have faith in Mr. Wolf and his team," Ethan replied firmly, his voice leaving no
room for doubt.
At his level of leadership, trust was everything. He knew when to let go of
doubts and allow capable people to take charge.
Since Emmanuel and Santiago had volunteered and were making every
effort to prepare, he had to back them up.
Chester snorted quietly, choosing not to say anything further. He had said his
piece. If Emmanuel wanted to risk his neck, that was his choice.
Soon enough, the helicopters hoisted two massive boulders into the air.
These rocks, while huge to the human eye, seemed insignificant against the might of the floodwaters.
The plan was for the stones to plug the broken dam-if Emmanuel and
Santiago could hold them in place long enough for the crew to reinforce and

Santiago had finished off every last drop of liquor and was already swaying on his feet.
Just when everyone thought he was about to collapse, he suddenly struck a strange pose. His legs rooted into the ground, and suddenly, the air around him shifted. It was as if a powerful ripple spread from his body, causing those nearby to stumble from the sheer force.
With one leg planted firmly on the ground, there was a thunderous shift in the air. A powerful aura rippled outward, sweeping over the crowd like a wave, causing even the onlookers to lose their balance.
The entire crowd was in shock.
Even Chester's expression shifted to one of disbelief. Who is this old man?
And how could he possess such power?

"I'm ready, too!" Emmanuel declared.

While the old drunk had been drinking, Emmanuel had been tightly clutching
the Heart of the Sun.
It was something he carried with him, meant to heal Hattie Zelinsky once they
made it back to Zovince.
Ever since Emmanuel returned from Dark Night Islands, he had been studying
the Heart of the Sun in his spare time. He discovered that whenever he practiced the "Art of Adaptability" technique, the stone's energy resonated
with his own.
The resonance was particularly strong when he entered deep meditation. Today, he planned to harness the power of the stone to repair the dam and
help the people.
"Let's get moving!" Santiago called out, wobbling as he suddenly jumped straight into the roaring floodwaters below.

But a second later, their shock turned to amazement.

With no boats on-site and no vessel capable of braving such fierce currents,
Santiago was now literally walking on water, hopping from one floating object
to another as he made his way toward the broken dam.
It was a sight unlike anything they had ever witnessed before.
"That's... incredible!" Ethan marveled, unable to hold back his awe.
Emmanuel couldn't help but smile wryly. Santiago is going all out to get back
to his peak and even push beyond it.
If that's the case, I have no choice but to give it my all, too!
"Let's do this!"
With a mighty roar, Emmanuel gathered his energy and leaped into the
water. For a moment, it seemed like he had disappeared beneath the waves,

but then, just as suddenly, he shot up, using the floating debris to catch up to
Santiago,
"Heh, not bad, kid!" Santiago called back, "But the real show's just starting. If
you don't want to die, you better give it your all!"
"I'm all in!" Emmanuel yelled, his voice echoing as he signaled to the
helicopter above. "Drop the boulders!"
“Lower them!" Ethan shouted from the shore, his voice carrying over the
rushing water.
Clank, clank, clank.
The iron cables of the helicopter creaked as they began to lower two
massive boulders into the raging river. The splash they made was immense,
sending waves crashing up onto the banks.
Boom!
Water sprayed everywhere, soaking Ethan and his team as they stood near

the dam.
His assistant and the others were drenched, too, but no one cared about
that.
All eyes were fixed on the scene unfolding before them.
"They're in!" Santiago shouted as he dove into the water.
"Let's go!" Emmanuel hollered, diving in right behind him like a general
charging into battle.
"It's no good! The current is pushing the stones away!"
"They're about to be swept off!"
The situation seemed dire again, and everyone held their breath, fearing
disaster.
But gradually, their expressions began to change.

"The stones... they're slowing down!"
"You're right!"
"They're holding steady!"
"Oh, my goodness!"
Ethan's assistant cried out in disbelief. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I
wouldn't believe it!
The sheer power under those floodwaters is unreal. Those two men are using superhuman strength just to keep those boulders in place.
Chester stood there, dumbstruck, murmuring to himself, "How is this even
ssible?"
Emmanuel and the old drunkard's strength was beyond anything an ordinary
person—or even an elite martial artist-could comprehend. It shattered
Chester's understanding of martial arts.

Underneath the water, Emmanuel's body was at a painful angle, bracing
himself against the massive rock. His bones felt like they were on the verge of
breaking, his body pushed to its absolute limits.
It was sheer willpower that kept him going.
Not far from him, Santiago was in a similar state. Although his inner strength
was far superior to Emmanuel's, years of no real combat and the natural
aging of his body had taken a toll. Without the alcohol dulling his senses, he
might have given up already.
"No! I can't give up now!" Santiago steeled himself. "I must break through!"
He hadn't come here just to help his disciple. He had hoped that the immense pressure of life and death would push him beyond his limits and
help him break through the barriers in his martial arts.
During their last meeting in Eldoria, he realized that the Savage Martial Saint
had grown even stronger than before. If he couldn't regain his peak and go beyond it, he would surely lose in their next fight.

"Burn! Spin! Explode!" he roared under the water, his voice somehow carrying

"Jane! I love you! I will kill that man and avenge you!"

Suddenly, his shirt ripped apart from the sheer force of his power.
Emmanuel, sensing the terrifying vortex that formed near him, was
awestruck.
This is unbelievable!
His strength is on a whole other level!
