As soon as Evan laid his eyes upon the imposing figure before him, he recognized him as Dylan Frost, the Fist Emperor. Evan knew much more about him than just his biography, having delved deeper into this ancestor's history.
Evan had never enjoyed learning history and had made it clear even from his childhood. However, as the Crown Prince of Frost, his personal preferences held no weight in the grand scheme of things. Understanding the lives of his ancestors was crucial, considering they were regarded as the greatest heroes of the Sun Moon Empire. Hence, the Imperial Frost Court, under the command of the Imperial Lord of Frost, made it mandatory for him to acquaint himself with their anecdotes and commit their biographies to memory. The Council of Elders endorsed this decree, leaving Evan with no choice but to comply with their wishes. As an ignorant child at the time, Evan felt indignant towards the injustice he endured. He loathed the enforced learning and the penalties he faced for not conforming to their demands. However, he now appreciates that they forced it upon him against his will. The knowledge he acquired about the founders of his clan in his childhood is proving to be invaluable in his current endeavors, such as the trial of the third floor of the Monster Tower.
Thanks to what he was forced to learn, he knew that among the founders of the Imperial Frost Clan, Dylan Frost was the only one who was not a Soul Cultivator but rather a renowned Galactic Soldier. It was said that he had attained such an impressive level of physical strength that even his peers with supernatural abilities considered him a force to be reckoned with. In the war that occurred around 120 years ago, he annihilated an entire fleet of demons with a single punch!
However, it was interesting to note that Dylan's avatar was just a body-tempering expert, and his stats might not be better than Evan's.
Wanting to confirm it, Evan cast Inspection.

The moment Evan was done going through the information, he grinned.
"Oh, this is going to be easy," Evan strode towards Dylan's avatar, his head held high with a smirk on his face. His strides were confident and steady, and his demeanor exuded arrogance.
Dylan's eyes twitched in response to Evan's disdainful remark, his body tensing in anticipation of the coming battle. He met Evan's gaze with a steely stare, his jaw set in determination.
"You're going to regret underestimating me!" Dylan warned, his voice low and threatening. As he spoke, he lowered his body, readying himself for the fight ahead. In an instant, his entire demeanor changed, transforming him into a beast ready to pounce on its prey.
Bam!
The arena shook with the force of Dylan's launch as he propelled himself towards Evan, his fist shooting out like a bolt of lightning. The attack was so fast that it seemed impossible for a soul manifestation realm cultivator to dodge it. However, what happened was contrary to popular belief, and it left everyone shocked to their core. With just a tilt of his head, Evan dodged the incoming attack by a hair's breadth. The fist moved past his face and hit empty air, producing a shocking air blast that spread outwards and smashed on the wall, causing it to crumble apart.
The audience watching the live stream on the screens projected by the spirit of the Monster Tower were stunned by the sudden turn of events. Their eyes bulged out of their sockets, widening to the size of saucers in disbelief, and their jaws hung as low as they could possibly go, completely agape at the sight before them. They watched speechlessly as the Fist Emperor's lightning-fast attack was effortlessly evaded by the Crown Prince of Frost.
Then, gasps and murmurs of surprise echoed throughout the crowd standing outside the Monster Tower, and many were left speechless.

"The attack of the Fist Emperor was dodged so easily? Impossible!"
"How did he do that? I am a Soul Fusion Realm Cultivator, but even I am not confident about dodging that attack!"
"His Highness's reflexes are truly incredible!"
The disciples of the Imperial Frost Clan were awed by what he did, but they were utterly clueless about the significance of Evan's accomplishment. They couldn't fathom the magnitude of what had just occurred before their eyes. However, the elders of the council and the officials of the court were more insightful. They knew precisely what had happened, and the implications were profound. And they couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.
One of them shook his head in disbelief and said, "I've been watching fights for decades, but I've never seen anything like this. The Fist Emperor's Thunder Strike, which he founded when he was a youth, is famous for being nearly impossible to evade for those at the peak of the soul manifestation realm. But here we are, watching His Highness dodge it with such ease that it's as if he were born to do it."
Another elder chimed in, "The Fist Emperor himself was renowned for his exceptional combat skills. He was the only Galactic Soldier who could hold his own against Soul Cultivators in the early stages of their cultivation. And yet, this young man, I mean, His Highness, flipped the table and made fighting him look like child's play. It's truly remarkable."
The elders exchanged stunned glances, realizing that His Highness Evan was not only talented in the field of Soul Cultivation but also had the potential to become a Galactic Soldier!
"When I saw His Highness Evan daring to challenge the founders of our clan, I thought he was biting off more than he could chew. But he proved me wrong," one of the officials remarked, impressed by Evan's skills.
"I had the same thought as you," another official added, nodding in agreement. "I thought that this fight would be over in a matter of seconds with His Highness Evan's defeat. But now, it looks like this is going to be an intense match. Both fighters are immensely talented and powerful."
All of the spectators watched with bated breath, eager to see who would come out on top in this epic showdown.
