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
“You’re right, this quest is not difficult at all and will refresh itself every three hours. It’s just a little troublesome. You’ll find out why soon enough,” replied the apprentice. Zephyr’s curiosity has been piqued. He arrived at the quest’s location. It was a very spacious farmland with sufficient primordial energy. There were many other disciples working on the land as well. An old man that wore a waistcoat currently sat under a pavilion, drinking tea. He was obviously enjoying himself. “Welcome, young man,” said the old man with a kind smile.“Elder, I have come to do my quest,” said Zephyr.“Yes, I know. All the disciples here have come for the quest. You see that field over there? You’ll be in charge of that area. Your quest is to till ten acres of the field. You can grab the tools from there. Go now.” The old man then waved him away.Zephyr left for the field once he found a suitable hoe for himself. He discovered the field to be different from normal farmland for it gl
“No thanks!” He did not want to waste anymore time in completing quests now that he had enough points. At the thought of the Lightning Sword Skill’s power, he quickly ran to The Library without hesitation.Not long after Zephyr had left the Hall of Trials, a man slowly emerged from the shadows while he stared vehemently at Zephyr’s retreating figure. “Haven’t I told you before, to not bother me unless it’s important?” Ricky calmly asked Aiden. His eyes were filled with arrogance and derision. As an Academy initiate of Cloudemon Peak, he had advanced rapidly in his training. In a span of a few short days, he was now on the verge of leveling up to an Agility of level four. Aiden might be a prince outside of The Boundless Academy, but here he was only an apprentice so it was only natural for Ricky to treat him as such. Aiden’s expression changed drastically at Ricky’s questioning. He still could not shake the bitterness from his heart when he was forced to give him the Skygold Divine
The room quickly filled up with a series of bladed energy imbued with lightning. The air started to crackle as the lightning bladed energy shot across the room. He viewed himself holding a sword that appeared in his Spirit Realm. He swung the sword around which erupted with lightning-bladed energy from time to time. The bladed energy became more and more powerful as Zephyr’s movement quickened from its pace. It was as if he was completely surrounded by an ocean of bladed energy. His movements were blurred and had a shadow effect as he moved around in his Spirit Realm.Zephyr woke himself up from the world in his Spirit Realm. He was trembling with happiness! His spirit energy was now strong enough for him to create a virtual world in his Spirit Realm in which he could then easily carry out his Lightning Sword Skill training. During his first session, to his delight, he found that the Lightning Sword Skill was way more powerful than he initially thought.Although he was mentally prepa
Zephyr sparkled like a well-sharpened arrowhead. Within a short amount of time, six bladed energies immediately followed with a swing of his sword. His progress was truly remarkable for such a short time. When the bladed energies landed a cut across a boulder, the exposed surface was as smooth as glass.He took in a deep breath. That was his first time using the Lightning Sword Skill. The speed was astonishingly fast. Every nerve on his body had tightly wounded itself. It took some time before he felt himself relaxing once more. “What an over-domineering power!” Zephyr spoke as he looked at the sword in his right hand. There were a few red lines that ran across the sword. It was probably affected by the speed of the attack too.However, he did not mind so much for this was his first time trying out a new skill. He would surely improve with time. He rested for a while before continuing on with his training. His bladed energies flashed around quickly, just like the wind, he was moved a
