From MC's perspective:
On the competition day,
The whole academy is busy with internal competition. The 1st duel is going to happen at noon. But I don't plan on watching the competition.
My participation in the year-end competition is confirmed. I don't have to go through the selection process. So In the meantime, I decided to practice separately.
10 A.M,
I left the dormitory and started walking towards the teleportation point. The monster zone is the best place to practice and gain experience.
This time, I'm selecting the Class-6 Monster Zone. Which is quite risky. But only under pressure can I improve myself.
After arriving at the spot. I walked to the circular platform. Right after selecting the server, I disappeared from the spot.
Swoosh~
When I opened my eyes. I found myself standing in the dark green rainforest. The sky was covered in black with a heavy rain pouring down.
Rumble~
A thundering sound reverberated throughout the area.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. This is the perfect place for me to fight against the monster.
With the thunder and lightning, I can already feel the purple essence in the surroundings.
Then I picked up a direction and started to walk through the forest. The heavy rain made my body wet.
Ignoring that, I continued walking.
Rustle~
Not long after, I heard a rustling sound coming from nearby.
I paused my movements and started to investigate my surroundings.
On the other hand, a black colored python was moving slowly on the ground. Its wide red eyes have already spotted the intruder.
The black-dotted python is Peak Stage Class-5 Monster. It has already started considering the intruder as a prey.
It's now waiting for the right opportunity to attack the enemy.
On the other hand, I activated my perceptual ability. Soon I saw something lurking in the dark.
Looking at its size, I realized it was a large snake monster. Just as I was observing, the monster made a move.
The giant body leaped towards me. The monster was so close to that.
"Lightning Wheel," I released the lightning defense technique.
A large purple-colored lightning wheel appeared around my body. The black python opened its mouth to attack.
When its body comes into contact with the giant lightning wheel.
Boom~
The wheel explodes the next moment. The lightning power tore through the scale and caused slight injuries to the body.
Swoosh~
Python disappeared back into the woods.
On the other hand, I retreated a few steps backward because of the impact.
I brought the black sword and held it in my hand. The monster is at the peak stage. That's why it's movements are harder to predict.
But I'm keeping an eye on the surroundings through perception.
On the other hand, the python is hiding in the dark. It didn't escape after getting hit. Rather it got enraged.
The bloodthirsty nature of the monster started to appear. It immediately wanted to tear down its prey.
The next moment, the monster again moved towards the prey. When it got closer, it used its long tail to attack.
The slight injuries caused by the previous attack didn't stop the monster's movements.
Swoosh~
In my perception, I saw a black shadow coming toward me at a fast speed.
This time I held the sword in my left hand and raised my right fist to punch the monster.
The blood energy gathered in my right fist within seconds.
When my fist touched the scales.
Crack~
A crackling sound can be heard. The scales of the python burst open causing gruesome injury in the middle.
Pffd~
Blood splattered on the ground.
Hiss~
The python let out a loud hissing sound before disappearing into the woods. Seeing that I placed the sword back in my storage ring.
It's difficult to kill the monster by using elite strength. Right now, I can only use my body strength to kill the monster.
Then I took the initiative to find the monster. Through perception, I saw the monster stopped at one point and kept staring at me.
This gives me a dangerous vibe.
Swoosh~
When I got closer to the monster. The Python finally starts to show some hesitation. This time the monster is looking at me cautiously.
"Lightning Phantom Technique,"
A purple arc covered my legs. The next second, I disappeared from the spot. And got closer to the monster.
The python monster hissed out loud. It wide opened its mouth to attack.
"Blood Fist," I raised my fist to attack again.
This time the punch lands a blow to the monster's head.
Puch~
Blood spilled from the monster's head. My hand got missed from the sharp razor teeth of the monster.
Hisss~
The python starts hissing loudly. It finally starts feeling the pain.
Swoosh~
The next second, the monster wants to disappear into the woods. Seeing that I chased the monster from behind.
"Blood Fist"
I punched again. Fortunately, the monster didn't have the poison ability. The python's movement got slower because of the injury.
So it got attacked by the fist attack again.
Time passed,
Not long after, the python's long body got several broken scales with gruesome injuries all over its body.
Even the head of the monster failed to remain unscathed. One of its eyes was damaged.
Seeing that the monster is slowly dying. I brought the black sword outside to attack again.
Chop~
I raised my sword to cut the monster's head. The black blade easily penetrated the body. Seeing that I used brute force to thrust further.
Pfff~
Blood starts gushing out from its neck. The python monster finally ended its life. Then I started to collect the monster core.
After collecting the monster core. I quickly left the spot. Because I saw strong auras coming towards me. I didn't have time to cut the monster's body.
A 10 minutes later,
Many other monsters arrived at the spot. Seeing the python's dead body. The monsters started to fight among themselves.
The body of the peak stage Class-5 monster is important to other monsters to evolve. So they don't want to miss this opportunity.
On the other hand, I finally found a cave-like structure to hide.
After entering inside, I set up a barrier.
Then I sat down cross-legged on the ground. This is the right place to cultivate the lighting essence.
When I looked into my dan tian. I saw that the lightning essence was low. Seeing that I decided to cultivate.
I started to run the lightning scripture in my mind. Slowly, I started to feel the purple essence from the surroundings.
When the purple essence entered my body. I started to guide the energy according to the cultivation method.
After circulation, the energy enters the dantian. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Time passed in the blink of an eye,
After a few hours, I opened my eyes. The lightning essence has recovered somewhat.
Then I didn't leave right away. Instead, I decided to cultivate a body method.
I held the Python core in my hand and started to run the blood element method. Right after, the blood-red rune in my consciousness started to flicker.
Right after, I started to absorb the monster's core energy. When the monster's core energies entered my body.
I started to guide the energy according to the blood element method. A blood-red light appeared above the blood.
It started to absorb the monster's energy and converted it into white mysterious energy.
The white mysterious energy then drilled into my bones. The next moment, I felt heart-wrenching pain.
The upper part of my skeleton starts to turn red. Slowly, the chest area becomes red.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Time went by,
I don't know how long it has been but the rain outside has stopped. I opened my eyes a few hours later.
Feeling the surging energy inside my body. I know my physique has improved further. Then I stood up from the ground and removed the barrier.
The outside environment sounded calm without noise. But it gives me more alarming danger.
Not long after, I left the cave. I came across another monster. But this time, it was a scorpion.
It's hiding under the huge bedrock. The scorpion was purple. Sensing my presence, the scorpion's status charged towards me.
"Lightning Wheel"
The purple lightning wheel appeared again. When the scorpion monster touched the wheel. The wheel exploded into pieces.
The back of the scorpion monster cracked under the attack. Looking at the monster, it appears to be an Early stage Class-5 Monster.
So the lightning attack has caused significant damage. The scorpion monster tries to run away.
"Lightning Finger Technique," I made another attack.
A purple beam formed at the tip of my fingers. The next second, the beam shot at the target.
In a blink of an eye, the attack reaches the target.
Boom~
The shot lands a blow to the monster's back. The next second, a purple liquid splattered on the ground. Leaving a small hole in the monster's back.
