Chaos ruled the International Martial Network.noveldrama'That's complete nonsense. Jeff Ashcroft taking down ten supersonic fighter jets alone? Who's buying that garbage?'A Transcendent Realm master fired off the post, disbelief thick in every line.A fresh Transcendent Realm cultivator followed right behind, openly questioning the story with clear skepticism.'Dream on. Does anyone here know what modern armies can do? Even the King Phase monsters from a hundred years ago got forced underground. The Arbitration Office and the Church never dared clash with today's advanced weapons. One man beating cutting-edge war machines? That's fantasy.'Jeff's powerful, no argument. He erased half the Chief Arbitrators back then. I respect that. Still, blind worship? Count me out.'Soon, a Martial Sovereign added his take, 'Hah. People just stirring the pot. Breaking through 3,000 soldiers alone might be possible. Shooting down supersonic fighter jets? That crosses the line into fairy tales.'The flood of replies kept rising. Nearly every post cast doubt on the claim that Leander had ripped supersonic fighter jets from the sky. Skepticism drowned the forums, with over ninety-five percent of members openly expressing doubt and disbelief about the story.Then one account stood out.It belonged to a Transcendent Realm master who had witnessed the battle in the Sahar Wastes.'It's true. I was there. I saw it happen. Odron Shaffer, once ranked nineteenth on the International Combat Units list, saw it too!'His reply hit like a bomb, drawing a flood of comments as everyone swarmed the thread.'So you say you saw it, and that's proof?''Who's Odron Shaffer? If he's really there, why isn't he talking?''No evidence, no credibility. Stop wasting space.'The thread turned on him in an instant. Comment after comment slammed down, stripping his words apart, with barely a single voice willing to agree.Rage simmered within him, yet he could only stay silent behind the screen. No matter how tightly he clenched his fists, it was useless in this moment. All he could do was suppress it and endure the feeling of helplessness.Right then, the International Martial Network's top banner flared to life.'Footage Released: Jeff Ashcroft, No. 1 in History Brings Down Supersonic Fighter Jets!'The headline blazed across every page.Without a second thought, users clicked.The instant the link was opened, the page refreshed, and an HD video took over every screen.Ten supersonic fighter jets were already racing across the sky, closing in on a ghost town. Not even ten seconds passed before a pale streak erupted from the ruins below, tearing upward at a speed that rivaled their own. It punched straight through the formation.The sky detonated.Ten blazing fireballs burst apart one after another, scattering across the clouds as the wreckage fell.Moments later, a column of blue light surged from the town and shot into the heavens. The camera sat far back, yet the image was sharp enough to make out a lone figure standing within that glow. The faint outline of a young face could still be seen.He hovered in open air.The white streak curved back, vanishing above his head.The footage stopped without warning.The clip was brief, yet its impact was crushing.All the jeers and doubt vanished on the spot. Both the International Martial Network and the Global Assassin Network fell into stunned silence for several heartbeats.Then the uproar exploded.Cries of shock and awe flooded the forums, racing across every thread like wildfire. 'No way... that was real? Someone really take down the supersonic fighter jet?' 'D*mn! That blue glow has to be Jeff!''Right! Someone described his energy barrier as always blue!''This is insane. Even King Phase monsters can't do that. What is he now?''I take it back. The Iron Sovereign is beyond comparison!'Threads ignited across every board. Doubt collapsed under undeniable proof.Martial circles went into a frenzy, and assassin circles erupted with chaos. Leander's name quickly dominated every front page. View counts skyrocketed into the million's within minutes. Nearly every martial artist saw it-regardless of skill level, anyone with access piled into the clip. At the Shadow Division Base in Highcliffe, a woman in a training suit moved through the Eternal Flow Art. Each motion flowed like silk, spiritual strength rolling from her palms in steady waves. Her cultivationmatched the very best of Astria'syounger generation, standingalongside names like Daphne andEthan. A little girl rushed in, hugging a laptop. "Anastasia, look! Something huge just broke online!"The woman was Anastasia of the Shadow Division, someone who had once crossed paths with Leander. Her form never slowed, and not a trace of emotion showed on her face as she continued to move."What now? More noise about Jeff and supersonic fighter jets?" Her voice carried cool dismissal. "That kind of rumor isn't worth attention."She shot the girl a stern look."Look at you. So much talent, and you still won't train seriously. The ShadowDivision chose you to become a pillar, not a rumor addict."She still recalled that visit withNixon, another member of the Shadow Division. They had gone to confront Leander, believing the could control him! However they were harshly rejected. It was the firstmajor hit to her pride, and since then, just hearing his name would dampen her spirits. The girl stuck out her chin, irritation written all over her face. She tipped her head up, eyes blazing with stubborn pride. "Fake news? It's all over the net now! There's actual video proof. Jeff really wiped out ten supersonic fighter jets in a single strike!" "Video?" Anastasia's calm finally cracked. Her eyes moved to the screen as the girl clicked the link. The footage played, and once it finished, Anastasia stayed frozen in place.She had met Leander before. Despite the faint blue glow and his half-visible face, she recognized his features instantly.It was him."This clip... It doesn't seem like a digital forgery, does it?" Anastasia asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.Shaking her head, the girl quickly responded, "I was curious too when I first saw it. I had experts inspect it, and there's no CGI or compositing involved. It's genuine raw footage taken with high-end micro lenses."Anastasia went still.Her mind reeled. That troublesome man... Is he really this terrifying now?She had never imagined he could rise to a level where even supersonic fighter jets meant nothing to him.Yet, her shock was only the beginning.By the afternoon of 7th October, the story had broken out of the martial world and into the wider internet. Across forums and major platforms, a single headline shot to the top of every trending list: 'Superhuman Brings Down Supersonic Fighter Jets!'Every link led to the same clip the complete recording of Leander annihilating ten supersonic fighter jets in one strike.

As a result, multiple major sites were overwhelmed and buckled under the sudden surge.Within hours, the video had become a nationwide phenomenon.Jeff Ashcroft's name spread to every corner of the web.
