On Earth, various scientists have experimented and are still experimenting on various subjects such as the mystery behind sneezing, and how yawning could be contacted through sight or sounds.
One of such, made an actual research to determine the pain of the spinal cord snapping in half and compared it to the same sensation as when the thumb breaks in an awkward angle.
However, why does Tyrian feel as though his soul has been snapped into two!?
The moment the beast chomped down at his waist, Tyrian felt as though an explosion had gone off in his head as he screamed miserably in the mouth of the beast like a slaughtered pig. He immediately lost all feelings in his legs as blood splattered from his waist.
Then came the darkness as the winged python swallowed him whole!
[Major injury +999]
Tears streamed down Tyrion's face as he felt the skin on his legs corroding while the python kept on swallowing him, its throat muscles constructing around his body, pulling him deeper into its stomach.
[Flesh wound +1]
[Flesh wound +1]
[Flesh wound +1]
"Why am I so unlucky!?" Tyrion's face was devoid of blood and extremely green. He couldn't help but cry out loud in frustration!
Why did he reincarnate right at this unfortunate moment!? He had died a few seconds ago, only to die here again. Was he that unlucky?
[Flesh wound +1]
His attention was then attracted to the floating notification above him. Frowning, he checked his status and surely, he realized things had changed within it.
[Name: Methuselah Tyrion]
[Specie: Human]

[Life Level: Cell Activation]

[Remark: If there was an award for trash... ]
[Major injury healed, get another.]
Tyrion's face turned into a deeper shade of green. 'What get another? It would over his dead body he would willingly get another such injury.'
But then, he was startled. ' Wait, why can I move? I healed already!?'
He couldn't help but feel shocked over his regenerative abilities. 'Isn't this regeneration more faster and scarer than 10,000× regenerative speed?' Although it's called 10,000 times regeration speed, it's more than 10,000 times faster! Doesn't it mean he was a living walking immortal?
Suddenly, he shook his head. 'The system only stated healing and didn't say I couldn't die. There must be limitations to this thing.'
At that moment, he felt a suffocating feeling starting to overwhelm him.
Tyrion's face changed slightly. The oxygen within this place was starting to wane as he was being dragged down by the snake's throat muscles.
Even if he could now regenerate 10,000 times faster, it seems he could still die from being suffocated to death!
"No, I can't just sit still and die again!"
Tyrion's face hardened and he began thinking of a solution through the memories of his predecessor.
His eyes suddenly brightened.
He remembered that all students always had a combat knife on them, within their official college coat. The coat was made of special materials and can handle several degrees of coldness or hotness which is why it was able to resist Instructor Keisha's destructive flame dust.
He wanted to reach for the inside of his coat. The knife was located on the side of his ribs but he couldn't reach for it him as well as his arms were tightly restricted by the throat muscles therefore, he couldn't move at all.
He couldn't help but mumble, 'This is not how I wanted to be deepthroated!'
Suddenly, he caught of the system interface and an idea came to him, he hurriedly shouted. "System, increase my cell activation level!"
[Error! Damage points cannot affect host's physical properties ]
Tyrion's brows furrowed. What's the use of the system and its damage points if he cannot even use it to increase his strength? He needed to act fast as the oxygen wouldn't last another minute.
Gazing at his status, his eyes locked into the combat art sectional, the [Nine Saber Styles].
"Increase the Nine Saber styles."
[100 Damage points to increase Nine Saber Styles from initiated to level one]
[Nine Saber Style (1.1%)]
[Nine Saber Style (1.2%)]
[Nine Saber Style (1.3%)] ...
[Combat Arts: Nine Saber Styles (0.0%), [Tactical Retreat(99.1%)]
An influx of memories surged into Tyrion's brain as knowledge of the first style of the Nine Saber Style acclimated into his body, feeling more natural than even muscle memories.
He couldn't help but feel as though he had practiced this same technique for a few years.
Tyrion's face suddenly darkened. A few years? Level One for a few years, was that how untalented he was?
He continued. "Increase Nine Saber Styles to the highest level."
Just as the Nine Saber Styles Technique advanced to Level 9, Tyrion felt a loud boom go off in his mind as multiple blood cells and brains cells exploded due to the sudden rush of memories.
A splitting headache came upon him and his body began trembling violently as if he was struck by lightning.
"BOOM!!!"
At almost the same time as Tyrion saw the change in status, his flesh, tissues, muscles, and veins boiled without warning!
An immense heat wave emerged within his body out of thin air, gushing tyrannically along more than ten of his meridians.
[Internal Injury +00]
The heat wave scorched and boiled, like a stream of flame flowing within Tyrion's body!
[Internal Injury +00]
He stood rooted, his face reddening and swelling rapidly. Even the skin all over his body began turning as red as cooked prawn shells.
[Internal Injury +00](Self inflicted damage cannot create damage points)
Massive volumes of sweat poured out from his pores, evaporating into white steam and rising into the confined space.
Tyrone's expression changed.
After only several breaths, it had rapidly gone through several cycles within his body, the latter gradually acclimatizing to it.
Although Tyrion's body temperature remained high, it was no longer boiling hot like before.
After which, his healing started to take effect, his tissues and cells merging together on their own, repairing the damaged meridians and organs.
A minute passed.
Tyrion's skin finally gradually reverted to its original fairness.
"Phew…"
Even the breath that came out of his mouth was scorching hot.
Not a single part of his body was without pain. All the bones and muscles in his body felt as if they were pierced with needles.
This was a completely different story than when he reached level one. Presently, he felt like he had just been smashed all over his body by a giant hammer.
'Good thing I regenerate 10,000 times faster than the average person. Otherwise, I would have died from advancing too fast.'
Feeling his regeneration at work within his body, automatically healing his organs, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ignoring these sensations, he tightly clenched his fist, and, to his surprise, a practiced muscle memory and intuition that was the result of hundreds of years of familiarity and practice with the saber flooded from his palms into his mind.
The nine moves of the Nine Saber Styles Technique as well as the ultimate move which is the conversion of all the perfected nine styles into one, had unknowingly become etched into his mind. It was like muscle memory now.
He now thoroughly comprehended each strokes, even the hidden subtleties behind every style. Not only that, but he also understood inside out how each style should be used in accordance with his breathing.
"It worked!?" Tyrion closed his eyes, his heart pounding in ecstasy.
[800 death points deducted]
[Name: Methuselah Tyrion]
[Specie: Human]
[Innate Trait: 10,000× regenerative cell(lvl:1)]
[Damaged Points: 3433](Damaged points can be earned, depending on how grave the physical damage/injuries received)
[Life Level: Mortal]
[Level of Cell Activation: 28%]
[Dust Absorbing Technique: Seven Injection Method]
[Combat Arts: Nine Saber Styles(Max lvl), [Tactical Retreat(99.1%)]
[Occupation: Open pervert]
[Remark: If there was an award for trash... ]
He didn't think it would actually give him this sensation. As though he had practiced this technique diligently all his life.
Tyrian also noticed that apart from the technique reaching max level, his level of cell activation had increased by 10 percent. His hatred for the system immediately reduced by 10 points.
He suddenly noticed that he couldn't breathe, his breathing was getting stifled and the throat muscles of the winged python were suddenly pushing him down more vigorously.
Tyrian didn't panic and he flexed his arms, stretching the insides of the beast with his new found strength, he could feel the cold-blooded animal's muscles squirming.
While he wasn't able to stretch it enough, it gave him enough space to grab his dagger.
Reaching for the 12 inches long dagger sheathed in his long coat, he closed his eyes and remembered the feeling of the saber styles and gradually, multiple figures began jumping erratically within his mind, performing the various nine saber styles with ease, grace and ferocity.
"Chi!"
His eyes suddenly flew wide open as he revealed a solemn expression, both his eyes glowing ferociously.
Drawing the combat knife backward with his entire strength of 28 percent, he managed to create space within the belly of the beast.
"Ultimate Saber strike: Berserk Howl!"
Tyrion bellowed, pushing the Nine Saber Style technique momentum to its maximum under the thrust of his full might.
A glint flashed from the blade in Tyrion's hands.
"ROAR!!!"
As the full might of the Nine Saber Style technique rushed through him, the combat blade even clearly emitted the faint, ear-splitting roar of a beast.
The surrounding muscles squirmed and jiggled about.
"CHI!"
The blade instantly pierced through the body of the beast, all the way to the hilt!
"ROOOOOAR!!!"
Outside, the beast roared in pain as its body began twisting and coiling about like an earthworm in salt.
Tyrian muscles, veins, and the ligament in his arms instantly ruptured. His body wasn't strong enough to withstand such sudden eruption of force.
But in the next second, an itchy feeling overwhelmed the pain, and his arm and tendons instantly healed, almost as good as new.
Tyrion ignored the dizzy sensation he felt and focused even more as he changed his grip on the saber to a reverse position.
"Third Style: Void slash."
The blade slashed downwards in one swift motion, cutting the body of the beast.
His arms ruptured again but healed that very second.
Holding the blade in reverse, he muttered.
"Fifth style; Star Annihilation."
"RIPPP!!!"
The blade zipped back upwards and then flashed as it moved in the shape of a star, ripping the entire throat muscles into shreds.
"ROOOOOAR!!!"
Another manaic roar rippled through the throat of the beast, pushing Tyrion with great intensity.
Tyrion grabbed at the blade and held on, madness clearly seen on his face, and without hesitation, Tyrion grabbed at the star-shaped scar, pushing to create a large enough space, he climbed out from the belly of the beast, along with slimy internal fluids.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Mucus, spit, and blood foamed out of his mouth as he dragged himself out of the beast. The winged python had squirmed to the center of the arena, body writhing and twisting in pain.
Ultimately its whimpering faded as strength left its body.
Tyrion was covered in blood and digestive fluids as he desperately struggled to inhale enough oxygen into his body, wiping the disgusting fluid of its face.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Looking back at the whimpering beast on its last leg with a smug expression, he chortled.
"In your next life, ask for permission!"
It was then he noticed that everywhere was deadly silent. He glanced at his surroundings and was stunned by the gaze of so many people.
'Right, according to my memory, this should be an arena. But why are they not anything.'
The silence was so deafening one could hear a pin drop and it would echo loudly for at least 5 revolutions.
But in the next seconds, the spectating students erupted into an uncontrollable roar.
"H-How's this possible!?"
"Why is he still alive and well after getting burnt and eaten!?"
"I clearly heard his back crack in the maws of that beast!"
"Crazy! Crazy! The world has gone crazy!"
"Does this mean the lowest grader performed a miracle and passed?"
Disbelief, shock, surprise, anger, jealousy. Different emotions surged violently within the students like a rampaging storm!
It was simply too inconceivable! They watched as he was burnt to a crisp, almost snapped in half, and even swallowed! Yet, he still managed to survive, how can the students sit still after witnessing something like this?
On the high table, the seven instructors overseeing the examination were surprised and their eyebrows furrowed as they tried to hypothesize and determine how Tyrion managed to survive.
"Could the kid have used some serum?" One of the seven instructors suddenly said.
"No, I don't think a student could own such high-level serum." Another shook his head and argued.
"He might have gained insight from the danger and tapped into his latent talent." A short male instructor suggested.
