In terms of sheer speed, the "Heavenly Peng Zongheng," with its absolute velocity of hundreds of kilometers per hour, is considered invincible. However, in land battles, the practical effect of "Zhi Chi Tian Ya" is even more astonishing. The debate over which is superior has always been a hot topic. Experts from both races continuously refine their techniques and engage in endless duels, leading to countless grudges.

Regardless of the merits of these two divine techniques, the current duel's outcome is quite clear. The golden eagle youth, fighting against two opponents, still holds the upper hand. His figure surrounds the two leopard clan Sword Masters, inflicting wounds from all directions.

"Hmm? It's him," Catherine suddenly spoke softly.

While the Moon Attribute is an ability unlocked upon reaching the Moon Flame Sword Master realm, once obtained, it operates independently of one's Aura. This means that one can use Moon Flame Aura without activating the Moon Attribute, and vice versa. Additionally, if one possesses multiple Moon Attributes, they can choose to activate only one.

Catherine's "Emperor Martial Dominance Technique" has reached the fourth level, enhancing her sensory reactions significantly. She can clearly see the faces of the rapidly moving warriors, indicating she recognizes one of them.

"Oh? Which one do you know?"

"The eagle one, Qigefei Skywing Iggle, a genius of the eagle clan who broke through to the Sword Master level at sixteen and also masters wind magic—a true dual-cultivation expert."

"Ah, it really is Lord Qigefei!" exclaimed the fat cat, Fiers. "I never thought I'd have the fortune to meet two of the 'Alliance's Three Heroes' in a single day. How lucky!"

The admiration for powerful individuals among the orcs is no less than humans' awe of unparalleled beauties, so the fat cat's reaction was not surprising.

"But what exactly are the 'Alliance's Three Heroes'? Who are they?"

"Ah, you don't know about the 'Alliance's Three Heroes'? I despise you, Lord Xuanfeng. How dare you walk alongside Miss Catherine without knowing this? It's infuriating."

"Alright, alright, I asked you to explain, not rant." My hand gently squeezed the fat cat's neck.

"Cough... I'm sorry, Lord. Let me introduce these rumors to you." The fat cat immediately changed his tone. "Speaking of the first expert of the Orc Alliance, it's naturally 'War Saint' Leimen. As for the greatest martial genius, it's the orc king himself. He showed incredible talent, becoming a Sword Hero at ten, a Sword Master at fourteen, and a Sword Emperor at twenty-three. This was achieved despite the most challenging cultivation technique, the 'Emperor Martial Dominance Technique.' His progress is unparalleled, and he is hailed as the best in a thousand years. No one has surpassed this record since. However, in recent years, three young geniuses, who are dual-cultivators, have emerged, surpassing their peers with their combined magical and martial prowess, and are seen as the future hope of the alliance."

"Qigefei is one, and Catherine is another, right?"

"That's correct. Lord Qigefei, at just sixteen, broke through to the Sword Master level a year ago and miraculously overcame the ancient limitation of orcs not having mages by mastering powerful wind magic. His fame spread far and wide. Miss Catherine, being both a descendant of the 'Emperor Martial Dominance Technique' and a high-ranking Shaman, commands equal respect."

Unlike humans, orcs, as the inventors of Aura and members of higher races, excel in both the number of Aura practitioners and the speed of martial advancement. For humans, becoming a Sword Hero at twenty, a Sword Master at thirty-five, and a Sword Emperor at sixty is considered genius-level. For orcs, however, their innate physical abilities allow them to achieve these milestones much earlier. If a member of the lion or eagle clans hasn't become a Sword Master by twenty, it indicates a lack of insight, making it unlikely they will ever reach the Sword Emperor realm. Thus, these young geniuses are seen as future Sword Emperors.

"So, who is the third person?"

"It's not the third but the first. This lord became famous before Miss Catherine and Lord Qigefei. Although he hasn't fought in recent years, his supporters still believe his combat power surpasses the other two..."

"Cut the crap, who is it?"

"Lord Romeo Skywolf." The fat cat answered solemnly.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Romeo, that lecherous Shaman, is a dual-cultivation genius?"

"Lord Romeo was already a Sword Master before entering the War God Temple and later gained the title of high-ranking Shaman there. Naturally, he is a dual-cultivation expert. Unfortunately, he hasn't fought since then, leading to doubts," the fat cat explained.

"Xuanfeng, do you know anything about this?"

"Yes, Romeo did possess Sword Master-level skills, and his high-ranking Shaman position is genuine. However, after leaving the War God Temple, his martial skills completely vanished, and even his Shamanic spiritual cultivation is undetectable. This is very strange, but he keeps it a secret, so I don't know the details."

"This guy is truly mysterious."

As we spoke, the speed duel on the long street had concluded. The two cloud leopard warriors were finally defeated by the golden eagle youth, Qigefei, and were thrown away, unconscious. Finally revealing his appearance, Qigefei, with his golden hair and wings, sharp eyes, and sword-like eyebrows, looked incredibly handsome. If not for the fierce killing intent surrounding him, no one would think he was a warrior. However, instead of lowering his guard, he coldly stared down the street, saying nothing.

Following his gaze, people saw an approximately eighteen- or nineteen-year-old golden-haired leopard clan youth standing at the end of the street, staring back at Qigefei. His aura was clearly stronger than the two twenty-six- or twenty-seven-year-old Sword Masters who had just been defeated.
