The night faded into the day in silence.When the morning broke, Zayn woke up refreshed and filled with energy. By now, his power had risen to the peak third tier of the superior class, and all he needed was a breakthrough point. Getting to the Fourth Tier would put him in the position to duke it out with Diego. Depending on how adroitly he would wield his new power, Zayn could even put Diego under his thumb, no problem.Honestly, Zayn had a nagging feeling that as soon as he reached the Fourth Tier, not even Diego would be able to beat him. The problem was, he needed a breaking point, a kind of watershed moment that could give him the push. Otherwise, he would never be able to break into the ranks of Fourth Tier even after a decade.Ascending through the levels became more difficult once one joined the superior class, because even the road leading up to this point was hard enough. The only reason why Zayn managed to get the third tier in such a short amount of time was because he h
Without the help of master fighters, even an army would find themselves stumped in their mission to apprehend Zayn. Of course, not that Zayn would ever turn to the life of crime! That was a path down doom and death!“How powerful would it be when I’ve unlocked 50% of my brain capacity?” Zayn continued mumbling to himself, his eyes brightening in excitement. When that happens, I’m sure I could kill a random average guy on the street with just a look!”At that rosy thought, alacrity and excitement filled the man’s eyes.When he reached the park of Barrow Cove for his morning exercise, it was only six in the morning. There was nobody around other than a few early-rising senior citizens, who occupied pockets of the park as they went about their aerobics routine.Zayn had to commend them for clearly putting effort into their routine, but that was the best praise he had. The only use aerobics had was that it kept the body moving and fit; it was hardly helpful to any other more strenuou
Zayn froze, glanced around him, and realized he was the only one in the area. It prompted him to point at himself with the genuine question, “Er… Me?”“Yes! You!” the middle-aged man snapped impatiently, “Who else is there except you, genius? Get over here.”He did not sound cordial. In fact, he even sounded a tad bit arrogant, as though Zayn was just another common folk.Zayn thought for a second before crossing the field to where the man was—not out of intimidation, really, but because even he was curious why the man wanted him over there.“How can I help you?” Zayn asked, smiling. As his powers increased, he became more outwardly amiable and mild-mannered. He always gave others some form of positive vibe whenever they were around in his vicinity. Despite being a third-tier superior class master, his demeanor belied his true identity as a powerful nonpareil.On the other hand, this middle-aged instructor was only a garden-variety expert fighter who was about as strong as that Li
Zayn’s eyebrows furrowed even more. He, a third-tier superior class master, plagiarized the moves of some mediocre experienced fighter? God, it felt almost insulting!“What do you want?” Zayn said snippily, his tone turning a lot colder.The instructor mistook his change of attitude as a sign of being intimidated, which delighted him. His lips curled into a smile. “What do I want? Simple. Follow the Rheasiano code, newbie! You either accept me as your master, or you defeat me in a duel to show that I’m inferior to you. I’ll accept that outcome, however impossible it is, but know that from then on, you will be my fighting style’s arch nemesis!”Zayn gawked at him in disbelief. Never had he imagined that watching these people fooling around would have attracted such an annoyance—or more accurately, embarrassment. It was embarrassing to have something like this happen to a man of such eminent status and power like himself.He would have been slightly more interested in the duel if his
The battle was about to begin! And yet, Zayn’s prepared by remaining on his spot in the most unmotivated slouch. There was no stance, no pose. Just the unsettling implication that he was extremely scornful of the middle-aged instructor.Even after witnessing his chop-the-brick feat, Zayn had decided to duel it out with the instructor to the latter’s dark delight. An uncanny smirk shadowed the man’s lips as he regarded his opponent—how many defiant idiots like this one had he met throughout his ‘career’? These people always harbored an ungrounded conceit and thought they could win. In the end, they were always utterly and painfully humiliated. They would always end up calling him their master, and then they would hand over their hefty class fees. Oh, and perhaps shower him with fulsome flatteries while they were at it.“Good for you. You at least have the balls to rise up against a challenge… alone,” the instructor hissed, snickering as he rolled up his sleeves like a professional abo
The instructor was even more infuriated. “Miss me with that bullsh*t! I, Erik Tating, am the ninth-generation heir to the esteemed Guild of Atlasea! How could I possibly be no match for the likes of you? You plagiarize, yet you refuse to play by the code. Do you think you can escape reproach, hmm? Think again!”Erik the instructor pounced, closing the distance between himself and Zayn while letting out some battle grunts. For a moment there, he did seem to appear taller, as though he alone was shouldering the sky, which was actually impressive to a certain degree.A glint flitted through Zayn’s eyes, signaling a further dip in his patience. “Godd*mn it!” he cussed and began his attack, replacing defense with the offense. “Eat this, and this, and this, and this and that and this—”Zayn was faster than Erik by at least twofold. Every single one of his punches and kicks always landed on Erik without fail. The latter was fortunate, though, that Zayn did not mean to exert any actual stre
Erik was right. Zayn literally crossed the lake on his feet at the speed of a bullet as though he was just waltzing through a normal road.To Erik, however, it was mind-blowing. This was so completely out of his understanding that he wondered if he was seeing things. So, to wake himself up, he pinched his thigh as hard as he could.A sharp pain flared from the spot at the same time he heard his students crying out in surprise. It was not a trick of the eyes—Zayn was indeed walking on water!More accurately, Zayn was running across water. For one, he had not become so divine that he could just cross the lake by walking. The actual mechanical secret lay in his speed—he was speeding through the water and was fast enough to generate enough drag force that combined with the thrust Zayn’s feet made as he sprinted, he pretty much zipped over the surface of the lake.Honestly, Zayn would not want to show off his capabilities in front of the ignorant masses if he could help it, but this was
Her exclamation shocked all three of her friends, who blurted out, “That’s him?!”“Oh my God, it’s really him! I heard that his powers had grown so much. It’s impossible to even ascertain anymore… Like, not even the she-devil Mia could match him! He killed her on the spot!”“Sh*t! No wonder he’s Guineve’s premier fighter! I ain’t surprised!”They were unbelievably and absurdly shocked. They stared in the direction Zayn had vanished, their minds still ringing and flabbergasted. It was a large lake with its opposite bank lying about three hundred meters and more away, yet Zayn managed to speed through it like it was a road on land. It was a testament to the level of his power!Lindsay’s eyes burned brightly in determination. Clenching her fists, she promised herself in a determined, gushing breath, “I’ll see you again, my idol! And I’ll make sure I become your student!”Zayn had no idea that Lindsay had set her eyes on him. If he had known, he would have been pretty miffed about it.
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
