Jacopo tilted his head slightly and remained silent.
From his past experiences, those who kept boasting but refused to confront him had mostly perished by his hand. Just then, the palace door flew open and a beam of purplish-gold light shot out, aiming directly at Jacopo.
Swoosh! Jacopo swung his sword and sliced through the purplish-gold beam.
However, more purplish-gold beams followed the first one, shooting out from the sspot.

"Excellent moves," the voice echoed from within the gigantic palace. "You might surpass your father if you continued your training.
"Yet, you chose to challengetoday... huh..." While the voice was speaking, Jacopo transformed into numerous fiery red light swords, forming a massive sword formation in the air.
The light swords then shot at the gigantic palace below one after the other.
Loud explosions erupted as the palace's structures were destroyed one by one, until the entire palace exploded. The force of the explosion generated gusts of wind. Amid the rubble where the palace once stood, a mysterious man in a glowing white robe appeared. Jacopo snorted. "I expected you to look a bit more special or different. Yet, it seems you're just another living being." By that time, the wind had died down. The mysterious man chuckled lowly.
"Jacopo, you're bolder and much more arrogant than your father." "I can show you a lot more of that if you want," Jacopo replied with a smirk.
The man snorted. "Catwith all you have. I haven't had a proper battle in quite stime. You'll be the perfect distraction." Jacopo, hovering at the center of his sword formation, extended his arms. Instead of attacking, the sword formation rose into the air and transformed into a shining sacred lotus.
Simultaneously, Jacopo shot up into the air and swiftly changed his physical form, gradually assuming a seated position on the sacred lotus.
A halo made of the Waltraud Light appeared behind his head, giving Jacopo an air of holiness and solemnity. The mysterious man had been observing Jacopo all this while. He froze upon seeing the sight before him.
He never expected Jacopo would try this trick on him.

The mysterious man flinched as he sensed an unusual presence and aura emanating from Jacopo.
He reflexively straightened himself, bewilderment in his eyes.
"Lord Goyo, what... what is that?" Just then, Gladwin hurried over despite his injuries.
The mysterious man still had his eyes fixed on Jacopo. He waved a hand, signaling Gladwin to stop.
The man gasped subconsciously. "Is... Is that the Waitara Path's m reincarnated Soremsia? How is that possible?" Gladwin's eyes widened.
He looked up and finally spotted Jacopo. s... Isn't that Jacopo Caden? He's James Gaden's son! How could he possibly be the Waitara Path's reincarnated Soremsia?"
"The path Source!" The mysterious man's brows twitched. "His body contains the om the path source formed from the fusion of the Forty-Nine Daoisms. Also, the SuprPath's sacred lotus! "Those things cannot be recreated through imitation, even if we're talking about James Caden himself." X
