Chapter 47: [100ps Extra Chapter] Strength Test!

"Alicia, don't tell me the fourth teammate is Tyrion? Is this a joke!?" Jason rubbed his nose and said in an exaggerated manner.

"I'm not joking. Tyrion will be our fourth teammate," Alicia said in all seriousness.

Jason looked at Alicia and then at Tyrion. He habitually rubbed his nose and said, "Alicia, all of us know of Tyrion's talent. He might be a genius in combat arts and able to defeat those with more activated cells but combat skills are limited without strength."

"We three have activated 90% and more of our cells."

"Even if he were to wait one week for him to grow, It will be difficult for him to match up to our pace of battle. Our goal is to be first in the combat assignment. I don't think Tyrion is the best candidate! Why don't we do this? I have some ties with Xeniz. If you feel uncomfortable asking him, I'll do the invitation. How about that?"

Jason's words were clearly directed at Tyrion, but the latter wasn't angered.

The combat assignment would determine theor ranking placement shuck would in turn determine their resources. Anyone would hope to do their best and not have others affect their own results.

Furthermore, the strength of a teammate affected one's safety and inside the Alternate Zone, no one wished to use their lives as a joke.

Even Tyrion had aimed for just top 500 before he obtained the system.

This gave him more opportunities to become stronger and not let his talent go to waste. Therefore, Tyrion could fully comprehend Jason's rational reasons for saying such things.

After Jason said his piece, he stopped looking at Alicia and stared at Tyrion.

Alicia looked at Tyrion and said, "Xeniz might be outstanding as well, but I think Tyrion is the best candidate."

By the side, Vander thought and said, "We know you have an eye for talent, Alicia. Tyrion is indeed outstanding by defeating Rhode who had strength of 90% activated cells, but to be honest we are geniuses afterall. If we went all out, defeating a new Super Soldier wouldn't prove too difficult for any three of us.

"The combat assignment results are very important to all of us. We have to treat it with utmost seriousness. Let's do this. If Tyrion doesn't mind, we can do a simple test. Once the results of the test are out, it will be obvious if Tyrion suits our team."

"Vander's right. I agree," Jason said immediately.

"What kind of test?" Alicia asked.

"Wouldn't that be simple? I'm the weakest among the three of us. Let Tyrion fight me in combat. As long as he defeats me, he will naturally be qualified to join our team. You wouldn't call that bullying, right?" Jason hurriedly said.

Alicia didn't say a word and looked at Tyrion.

Tyrion knew that he needed to voice his opinion at such times; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to join the team.

Although he wasn't too interested in joining this team, he still wished to get good results for the combat assignment.

Alicia's team was likely considered the strongest team currently, so there was definitely no harm in joining them.

"I'm fine with that. However, actual combat has risks. It would affect our team if anyone gets injured," Tyrion said with a nod.

Jason laughed in response. "Tyrion, I know you've reached the highest stage in four techniques. Therfore, your combat skills must be extraordinary."

"However, with your low level of cell-activation, your speed and physique must be severely lacking. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of your weakness. Why don't we determine the winner through a simple comprehensive strength competition."

Alicia couldn't help but frown when she heard Jason.

Jason practiced the Lightning Cell Tempering Art and it was Tier-2 tempering technique that primarily unleashed massive bursts of strength.

Jason had also coupled the Lightning cell tempering art with a combat technique, Lighting palm.

However, Jason's Lightning palm had reached the second level but , among the other students, he was one level above them.

Alicia didn't know Tyrion's family background, but from what she heard, his four techniques were all tier-1 combat techniques, not a single one of them were killing moves. .

Furthermore, in his battle with Rhode, he had only improvised to defeat him. Otherwise, he would have lost a limb by now.

Alicia's lips quivered in worry, but she didn't say a word. She thought inwardly, "Let's see how Tyrion will handle this."

Tyrion looked at Jason and asked, "How do we compete in Strength?"

"Although there's a Strength-measuring device in the training room, those lifeless numbers don't mean much. Let's exchange blows. Whoever retreats loses. How about that?" Jason said with squinted eyes.

"I think it's better we use the school's Strength-measure device," Tyrion said after some thought.

"Why? Are you afraid of me injuring you?" Jason said, curling his lips.

Tyrion smiled without a word. He was more afraid of killing Jason with one punch.

Jason's Lightning cell Tempering art and, Lightning palm art, wasn't a secret. Just relying on strength alone probably couldn't beat him. Therefore Tyrion planned on going all out, if he used the third level of Berserk Explosion, he was afraid that a single punch would obliterate Jason's arm as well as his body.

"Don't worry about that. Let's go." Jason chuckled, feeling Tyrion might be a funny guy.

"Do you need to warm up or something? " Jason raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's a simple exchange, no need for the fuss." Tyrion said indifferently.

Jason took a deep breath as he stood before Tyrion.

"Get ready." He snorted coldly and stimulated his cells. Immediately, lightning seem to crackle within him and he gathered his strength in his palm.

The Lightning palm suddenly erupted as thunder seem to roar from his arm. His muscles shook as his veins shook and zapped underneath his skin like thunder.

"CRACKLE!!!"

His palm slithered as he took a step toward Tyrion and slapped forward.

Tyrion took in a deep breath and formed a palm knife while he immediately activated second Level of Berserk Explosion to his right arm alone, while executing the Ultima move of Nine Saber Styles.

"BANG!!!"
