Shockwaves blasted apart the surroundings as the air waves swept outward like a tornado, fluttering the clothes of students present in the training room.
"No way? It was a draw? Don't tell me this fellow is deliberating hiding his strength?" Jason couldn't help but be surprised.
Vander and Alicia looked at Tyrion with odd looks. Although Alicia never believed Tyrion to be someone who was weak and was hiding his strength while training arduously in private, she had never expected him to attain such progress.
"To be able to draw with me, you truly are hiding your strength. However, if you believe that you have defeated me, you're wrong," Jason said as he looked at Tyrion.
Upon seeing Tyrion draw with him, Jason was already willing to let the former join their team.
Although Jason could deliver more than Strength with Lightning palm, it was something that expended his energy as well as Dust. At this present level, he could only deliver one punch in a short period of time, preventing him from using it for long.
As for Tyrion, he had delivered such strength with ease. He could engage in combat for long periods of time, a huge boon to the team. It was even more useful than Jason's Lightning palm.
However, Jason wasn't willing to admit defeat. He still planned on defeating Tyrion before magnanimously voicing out his acceptance of Tyrion into the team.
"Jason…" Vander was just about to say something when Jason waved his hand to cut him off.
The benefits were obvious if a person with strength equal to 90% activated cell join their team. Vander believed that since Tyrion had shown enough of his prowess, there was no need to continue. Making things ugly was not beneficial to any party.
If Jason were to use Lightning palm at full strength to defeat Tyrion; thus, causing him to leave. It would be a loss for them.
Upon seeing Jason walk to the pressure board, Vander had wanted to say this but was stopped by Alicia.
"Is this really fine?" Vander looked at Alicia and said.
"It's fine. That fellow has already accepted Tyrion. He just doesn't want to lose," Alicia said softly.
Vander was slightly taken aback before he was enlightened. He cursed in amusement before falling silent, "That fellow just can't bear to play second fiddle."
"Let's go another round."
Tyrion glanced at him dubiously and then at Alice before slowly nodding his head.
Jason's expression was heavy as he stood straight like a pole.
He slowly lifted his fist as veins protruded from it. Lightning bolts seemed to mesh together from his pores, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
"CRACKLE! CRACKLE!! CRACKLE!!!"
Tyrion's expression turned solemn and secretly raised Berserk Explosion straight to the Ultima state: Primal Fury!
His arm covered by the leather jacket expanded as the veins in his arms exploded after the other, giving a rumbling muffled explosive sound.
But Tyrion ignored the searing pain of his flesh exploding and blood spurting out from his veins he let lose another knife-shaped palm strike.
"RIP!!!"
"KA-BOOM!!!"
Before the spectators could have any thoughts, airwaves blasted the surrounding space as the entire training room shook violently.
At the center of the training room, cracks appeared on the ground, spreading out from the middle of the two people, as the sounds of lightning and an space been ripped apart resulted into a massive explosion.
"BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BOOM!"
A person took five heavy steps that shook the entire room backward as they slammed their back to the training room wall.
Vander was in shock and his mouth widened into an O shape as he and Alicia stared blankly at Tyrion. There was silence.
Jason trembled as he felt an enormous force uncontrollably pass through his entire body as he collided with the training wall.
With 90 percent activated cells, the first stage of Lightning palm increased his attack by 50%, breaking through peak Genetic Soldier level and entering the Super soldier level.
[Minor injury, +9 damage points]
"Am I fit to be in the team now?" Tyrion was taken aback and he looked at Jason.
Jason took in a deep breath and spoke. "Sure, I have no more complaints."
With Tyrion joining the team, Jason believed that perhaps they weren't only able to obtain first at the combat assignment, but that they could even raise their targets.
Vander and Alicia were in a good mood as well. Having a powerful teammate like Tyrion join the team brought them one step closer to their goals.
This fellow is more interesting than I imagined. Alicia narrowed her eyes as she looked at Tyrion.
With Tyrion officially joining the team, the four submitted an application form for the combat assignment on the academy net.
...
After the training with Alicia and the team, Tyrion headed back to his building, deep in thoughts and went through the net.
Tyrion went through many posts in the fighter discussion board, such as "50 frequently asked questions on hunting Blood Rippers", "basic ancient Undead survival knowledge", "how to avoid horde leader level monsters", "7 ways to seek death"... all sorts of posts. Reading these allowed Tyrion to learn a lot, and also understand the hardships of a fighter!
Fighters enjoy many benefits in the society but to become one entails hidden difficulties!
"Cell tempering Techniques, attacks, and movement arts. These three major arts are the most important to genetic fighters!" Tyrion read the post and agreed. These three arts are indeed the most important to a fighter.
If you have money, you should throw them at these three arts!
After his battle with Rhode and his fight with Jason, Tyrion had realized he needed an ultimate technique, one that could take care of an enemy in one stroke.
Just like Jason's lightning palm and Rhode's Mountain Shattering Strike.
If he continued to use the Nine Saber Styles, he would only suffer a loss and with the exponential growth the students are receiving at this period, it would only take a matter of time before he lost the Legend position and its benefits.
Tyrion thought for a while and stared at the amounts of death points he posses.
Suddenly, he gritted his teeth.
"Let's go in the academy's store and see what's there."
