“What luck Erik!”“Damn it!”“You’re lucky!”The Elders clamored once more, annoyed at this development. It would seem that the Elder in question was Erik Chavez, head of the Beast Peak! The Beast Peak was a strength-oriented path. Their initiates were strong and destructively powerful. The man on the field was obviously strength-attuned. No one had any reason to steal him away from Erik. Seeing the Beast Peak and Oriental Peak be able to recruit such great initiates had made the other Peak heads become more frantic. They would not let them continue on like this.As the trial ended, the blue-haired girl was called over by Elder Lucia, while the man from Brass was heckled by Erik. Many stared at them with envy, even the initiates. There was a good chance they would become disciples, faring better than initiates.The trials continued as usual. After a few rounds, only two had made nine rays of light. Not many were accepted as an initiate. Apart from the Oriental Peak and Beast Peak,
Zephyr frantically defended himself against the seemingly-endless attack. His stamina kept depleting while most of the other fighters in the square had already completed their talent test. Both Yang and Ricky had already caught the elders’ attention.Zephyr felt like he was at his limit, when suddenly, the resistive power of the scales and Electrical powers finally lessened. He grabbed hold of this opportunity to absorb the light energy around him. In a blink of an eye, he absorbed a vast amount of light before he was once again suppressed by the Electrical powers. He had only managed to condense the light energy around him into two light beams. If it was not for the fact that Zephyr had experienced it himself, he would have thought he was dreaming. This was because he knew it was impossible for him to only create two light beams after he had absorbed so much light energy!“What? Only two?” The elders were surprised when he absorbed so much light, but it quickly turned into disappo
An Academy initiate took out a book and spoke, “Reporting to all elders, the results from the talent test have been all recorded here. One hundred and nine fighters have been promoted to an Academy initiate. Out of them all, one had eleven light beams, twelve had ten light beams... and one had two light beams.” Everyone turned to look at Zephyr at the mention of two light beams. Even the elders on the scene were shocked. Vert Murray was in the hall as well. He stood behind an elder and looked at Zephyr with a piercing stare. Compared to the other elders present, he had a better understanding of what Zephyr was capable of. A talent of two light beams was undeniably useless. Yet, there was also no denying Zephyr had won in a fight against Shaun. The final blow — Lightning Spear — was especially powerful. So how was it possible for Zephyr to have a talent of only two light beams?Zephyr’s current circumstance felt very awkward, to say the least. Under general conditions, based on hi
“Fine by me,” Lucia spoke with a smile.“Me too!” said Erik with a nod.“Yes, Yang should be assigned to Maxim,” said the Skydragon Peak’s elder. “Then, he should take Zephyr as well!” Ethan countered this suggestion with an icy tone. “How could you say something like this, Ethan? Maxim wouldn’t have ended up like this if it wasn’t for that accident.” Ethan’s words caused displeasure amongst the elders. Some of them even looked at him with murderous eyes. “It’s only fair he should take Zephyr since he got Yang! Although Zephyr has the worst talent, he’s still the first place winner in the Inter-city Tournament. Are you suggesting we revoke his Academy initiate status? Besides, it would be more than fitting for you to take him in since it was your initiate who brought him here,” Ethan explained with a smile while he looked at Vert for he was the initiate that was mentioned.The other elders agreed with what Ethan had said even though it was really uncalled for. They clearly und
Maxim and his group of initiates quickly raced towards a mountain peak. The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. The closer they got to the mountain, the more they could feel powerful energy exuding off it. The group of initiates was made up of Zephyr, Yang, and five others. Each of the five was equally talented and amongst the seven of them, there was only one female initiate. Along the way, none of the five initiates paid any attention to Zephyr. After all, it would not benefit them to waste their time on a talentless person. The same thing could not be said for Yang though. However, Yang had the same cold personality as Maxim, so he did not really join in their conversation. What really puzzled the five others was the seemingly close bond between Yang and Zephyr. When did the strongest of them all and the weakest of them all become such good friends?“Don’t mind them. I’m sure even with your abysmal talent you’ll become stronger if you’re willing to train hard,‘
“During the past, The Ethereal Land could be divided up into four eras — Ancient Draconic era, Prehistoric era, Dynastic era, and Old Kingdom era. Old Kingdom era was the current era the fighters were living in. The Ancient Draconic era was once upon a time an era that boomed prosperity but was cut short by an unexpected event.“One day, a huge number of extraterrestrial beings from another planet invaded The Ethereal Land and slaughtered the fighters there. The extraterrestrial beings were very strong and had a penchant for killing. They were so powerful that The Ethereal Land was flooded by the fighters’ blood for many days that came after.“The extraterrestrial beings had been given the name of Extraterrestrial Demons. There were many fighters who unleashed all their potential to protect their land. Through the years of fighting off the invaders, these fighters had become so strong that they were able to go head to head in a fight against the Extraterrestrial Demons. However, no b
“Accumulating points is very important if you wish to become more powerful. You can exchange the points for elixirs, weapons and many other things,” said Vert.“Sounds like everything needs to be exchanged with points,” said Zephyr.“Yeah, almost. It’ll be hard for you to level up if you don’t have any points. There are many ways to earn points. The most common is through completing quests. The more difficult the quest is, the more points you'll get.”Zephyr acknowledged Vert’s help with a nod. After that, Vert once again reminded him of the important things, he even mentioned that The Library was a place to visit, after sharing, he left. The Library held all The Boundless Academy’s martial arts skills. Some of the techniques were really powerful and could only be accessed with points. One would have no choice but to get the weaker techniques if they did not have enough points for the more powerful ones.‘I should go there and have a look,’ thought Zephyr. His Seven Slash skill had
Zephyr kept going through piles and piles of books.Tornado Sword Skill. The force of a tornado. Once attained, the fighter would be able to summon a tornado bladed energy. Required points, 3,000.Cobra Sword Skill. A set of tricky movements. Once attained, the fighter’s attack would become as fast and as poisonous as a cobra. Required points, 5,000.Tsunami Sword Skill…It seemed like there were more sword skills than other martial arts skills. Even so, many of these skills required more points. Lightning Sword Skill. As fast as lightning. Must have a stable foundation. Required points, 3,000. Zephyr knitted his brows together. So far, amongst the many sword skills, only this Lighting Sword Skill managed to capture his attention. This was because he knew he contained Electrical powers. It would be a cinch to learn this new skill.“The Lightning Sword Skill eh? You have very good taste.” The old man chortled with laughter after saying that. He was sizing Zephyr up with a twink
