Chapter 19: Reward Center; 4 Ultima Stages!
After signing, Tyrion turned to leave.
Looking at him, the man asked curiously: "Only a month to go, then it will be the challenge of Reward Placements, you sure you are not going to try something else?"
The reward placement is a challenge held once every six months in Death Academy, the contestants are mostly first-year disciples. If you do well, it means your combat skill is very high; and if you fail, then you will know your skills are lacking.
"I imagine the first level of Berserk explosion should be of a high enough level for me to pass that." Tyrion thought that if he could train his cell activation level to 50%, even if he didn't make it into the top one, his rank should still be fairly good, but it is a fact that he hadn't been in actual combat yet, so he's still not too sure about his combat skills.
But if he went all out and threw in all his trump cards, then he should be able to gain the title of number one.
The librarian nodded subconsciously, then he looked up with full surprise, "You mean you've mastered Berserk explosion? How is that even possible?"
"More or less, I guess." Tyrion replied.
I wonder what he would think if he knew that I have not only mastered Berserk Explosion but also reached the ultima state.
Tyrion did not want to disclose too much, so he walked out of the hall.
After he left, the hall master couldn't believe what he had just heard. He knew that Berserk Explosion was impossible to master since it was created by the third prime Instructor of Death Gate Academy during a moment of epiphany.
However, he died using the technique, hence he was unable to complete it.
With only a rudimentary explanation on the technique, it was almost unattainable to grasp it.
"The students nowadays are way too full of themselves." The old man shook his head. It was obvious that he didn't believe what Tyrion said at all.
* * *
Tyrion departed the hall and walked towards the Reward Center.
The Reward Center building wasn't as tall as Tyrion had expected but it was extremely wide.
Tyrion hesitated for a few seconds and wondered if he was in the right place because the building looked really new and seemed barely used.
After a few seconds of pondering, he decided to enter the building.
It wasn't until he entered the building he realized there were more than a thousand rooms within the building within, some of which were already occupied.
Without hesitation, Tyrion walked into an empty room.
The moment he entered, he was blinded by the whiteness of the room.
"Place your fingers on the transparent platform to scan your profile."
Tyrion tore his eyes off the pure white walls and walked towards the half-meter tall platform in the middle of the large room.
Placing his palm on the transparent platform, a mechanical voice rang out.
"Welcome Legend Tyrion. Please input the technique with which you've made an achievement with."
A holographic image of a keyboard appeared before him. Only a bit stunned by the hologram, he first inputed the Nine Saber Styles technique.
"Please display your comprehension of the Nine Saber Styles Technique and let the system analyze your level."
As the mechanical voice dropped, the entire room rumbled as the platform retracted back into the ground, leaving the room empty.
"Uhm, okay... "
Grabbing the large machete from his back, Michael took in a deep breath.
"First Style: Solar Strike "
"Second Style: Lunar Dance "
"Third Style: Void Flash"
"Fourth Style: Reverse Void Flash"
"Fifth Style: Void Serpent"
"Sixth Style: Star Reaper"
"Seventh Style: Reverse Star Reaper"
"Eighth Style: Phoenix Blaze"
"Ninth Style: Star Annihilation"
Tyrion's face turned incredibly serious as he held on to the machete with his two hands.
"Ultimate Move: Berserk Howl!"
The entire air shook as his muscles squirmed. The blade hummed and oscillated. It was as though it was a beast trying to escape from his grip.
"Whoosh!" "BANG!"
The edge of the blade moves in mid-air and a star seems to explode at the tip of the blade. The air suddenly combusted as a clear white scar appeared in mid-air before it faded after a while.
"Evaluation: ultima level."
"As the first first-year student to have reached the ultima state of the Nine style Saber Styles, 10,000 points have been awarded."
Tyrion's eyes lit up seeing this and without hesitation, he inputted the Phantom Leg Art and immediately displayed his comprehension level.
"BOOM!"
The world seems to slow down to a halt, blurring into a shade of shadows. It was as though he had been dumped into an ocean, everything including air resisting him.
It was as though Tyrion had been thrust into a whole new world as he walked forward.
The moment he took a step forward, he felt the extreme resistance from the air as he moved.
Behind him, afterimages of his former self remained as though he had split into multiple parts.
He even went ahead to touch his afterimages but he only touched air.
In the next few seconds, he walked around and eventually stopped the technique and an extreme feeling of fatigue overwhelmed him.
"BOOM!"
The world shattered and collapsed as the whiteness came over.
"Evaluation: ultima level."
"As the first first-year student to have reached the ultima state of the Phantom Leg Art, 10,000 points have been awarded."
In a giddy state of excitement, he displayed the three stages of Berserk Explosion.
"First level; Berserker state."
"Boom!"
His entire body crackled and reddened as he punched the air.
"Second level: Blood Rage!"
His skin began to crack as his body flushed red.
He immediately punched the air three times.
"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!"
The air trembled and crackled as it compressed tightly.
"Third Level: Feral Demon!"
Veins popped out of his reddish skin as his muscles squirmed and bulged as though his body had been inflated.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The air seemed to collapse in that moment as it distorted, creating visible shockwaves in mid-air that spread outwards.
The power he released was even more than those with cell activation level of 50% percent.
"Ultima State: Primal Fury!"
Blood spurted out from his finger-sized veins as his muscles expanded. His height increased from 1.89 meters to a terrifying 2-meter tall monstrous beast.
Blood pooled down his oscillating body as his flesh literally tore, revealing a whitish membrane underneath as well as squirming yellowish muscles.
"KA-BOOM!!!"
