STARTING WITH 3 S-CLASS TALENTS

by Kideo11

After waking up, Vincent finds that he has transmigrated to a parallel world where monsters roam, a world that's no longer ruled by science. In this place, body practitioners can lift 10,000 tons of oil wheels with one hand, and espers can summon wind, rain, thunder, and lightning—born to be strong. Beast tamers can tame powerful monsters that become their most loyal pets.

Chapter 1

Ellis City, Ellis Intermediate School.

"I can definitely do it!"

Vincent's face was full of determination as he clenched his fists tightly.

In the past, he was just an ordinary young man. However, when he woke up, he had transmigrated to a world that was filled with danger.

Monsters were rampant here, and ordinary people were slaughtered. Only those who had awakened and became powerful superpowered people could fight against the monsters.

Although everyone had the opportunity to be awakened, there were many types of superpowers, and their levels ranged from low to high. They were divided into F to S-Classes.

There were also six types of superpowers; all with different functions: attack, agility, control, support, special, and elemental.

If someone failed to reach E-Class superpowers, they would not even have the chance to take the college entrance exam, let alone fight against monsters.

For anybody, the awakening of their superpowers was an opportunity to change their future.

"Hey, Vincent, don't be nervous."

A handsome and tall young man stood behind Vincent and put his arm around Vincent's shoulder.

His name was Swire Caesar. He was a rich second-generation kid who came from a wealthy family.

He was a forthright person, and he had helped Vincent many times. He was Vincent's best friend.

"You've been working hard to train your physical strength for the past three years. You're famous in school. You'll definitely be fine if you work hard."

There was a physical requirement for awakening a superpower. According to the records, strength, reaction, coordination, and other aspects could directly affect the level and quality of a superpower.

Vincent was an orphan. His parents were both superpowered people. They had disappeared mysteriously during a mission, and their whereabouts were still unknown.

Although he had relief money, his life was difficult. However, he worked hard and was first place in school for three years in a row.

It was in fact, a real miracle.

"Thank you so much, Swire."

Swire rolled his eyes at Vincent.

"But you don't have to worry. Even if you can't awaken a good superpower, at most, I'll buy you a bottle of power enhancement liquid."

Vincent did not say anything. He just looked at Swire with a face full of gratitude.

The enhancement liquid had an extremely low probability of being able to strengthen one's power.

Even if it managed to successfully strengthen one's power, it would only have the effectiveness of only 1%.

But even so, it was still worth ten million psionic coins!

Swire was a second-generation rich kid; ten million psionic coins was nothing to him. However, to Vincent, it was a huge sum of money.

"Thank you, my friend. I'll accept it wholeheartedly."

However, Vincent would not have accepted Swire's help in this, even if Swire really bought it.

Nevertheless, his heart was very warm to know that he had such a wholehearted friend.

"Everyone, it's almost our turn. Don't be nervous. Bring out your best form."

At this moment, Class Five's teacher George came forward.

"Teacher George, I'm not nervous. It's just that my legs are a little shaky."

"I'm not nervous at all. Who knows, I might even be able to awaken an S-Class superpower. When the time comes, I'll be specially recruited by the three great advanced superpower schools. If anything happens, I'll help everyone!"

"Just you? Hussef, what a joke! How many years has it been since an S-Class superpower appeared in our city of Ellis?"

"I don't have high expectations. As long as it's not an F-Class, it's fine."

...

After hearing that Teacher George was going to start the superpower awakening process, everyone started to feel nervous.

Even the indifferent Swire had a solemn expression on his face.

"Class Five!"

On the high platform, stood a skinny middle-aged man with a hooked nose. His presence was intimidating.

His name was Houston Mobos, and he was the Dean of Education at Ellis Intermediate School. He was only second to the principal.

His strength attained a high-level superpower a long ago. He was only one step away from becoming an S-Class superpowered person.

His superpower level was C-Class.

Hearing Houston's voice, George walked quickly and stood two steps away from him. His face, full of respect for the Dean.

"Director Houston, all students of Class Five are ready."

Houston nodded at George. He then looked at the students of Class Five.

"Class One has awakened one A-Class superpower, two C-Class superpowers, four D-Class superpowers, seven E-Class superpowers, twenty-two F-Class superpowers. Class Two has awakened three B-Class superpowers, three C-Class superpowers..."

"I hope you can surpass them and awaken better superpowers."

Houston's words shocked the people in Class Five.

They never expected that there would be four A-ranked students this year. It would have been great if there was only one in the past.

Those who became B-ranked would be able to apply to the three advanced schools, and A-ranked students would have guaranteed admission. Every year, the three advanced schools would recruit a few hundred students.

"Heaven-defying luck, reaching the heavens in one step!"

The people in Class Five began to discuss in low voices. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious.

Although they were all classmates now, the gap between them would widen immediately after their abilities were awakened. The class hierarchy was very obvious.

Being able to go to the three advanced schools would undoubtedly make this class hierarchy even more obvious.

B-Class was destined to be the class that most people looked up to.

Houston coughed lightly to suppress the discussion.

"As I call out your name, please come and lie in the machine."

Awakening a superpower was not difficult. After many years of development, the machine was well developed.

As long as one laid in the machine and used the medicinal liquid to stimulate the energy contained in the gene, allowing it to explode, the awakening would be completed.

"Emmora."

A teen of medium build walked onto the high platform and laid in the machine. A minute later, the machine beeped.

"Emmora, E-Class superpower, special class, double-barreled shotgun."

Hearing Houston's words, Emmora heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the E-Class was not high, it was still better than the F-Class. At least, it had the ability to earn its own living.

Vincent and the others cast envious gazes at Emmora.

E-Class was a level that most students who were present could not attain.

"Modey."

A young girl with a ponytail walked out, her entire body trembling with nervousness.

"Modey, F-Class superpower, support class, house cleaning."

When Modey heard this, her face turned pale. She covered her face and ran down the high platform. Tears flowed down her fingers and she fell heavily onto the ground.

Time passed by, minute by minute. Each and every one of the students had completed their superpower awakening. Up until now, the highest class in Class Five was only a D-Class support class superpower. It could be said that the result was very bleak.

George's face turned pale. The awakening of a student's power was recorded in the performance appraisal. If the results were not good, it meant that his teaching ability was not good. This would affect his career.

"Vincent."

Vincent took a deep breath and slowly loosened his tightly clenched fist. He took firm steps and walked onto the high platform.

"Ding! Detected that the host is about to undergo the power awakening ceremony. The Super Wargod System is now being activated..."

'The Super Wargod System has been awakened! Extracting abilities...'

'Extracting abilities completed!'

'S-Class elemental ability, Hellfire; S-Class superpower, Monster Affinity; S-Class support ability, Extreme Speed Training! Not awakened.'

Just as Vincent stepped onto the first step of the platform, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Chapter 2

"Three S-class Superpowers!"

Vincent's body swayed; his heart in ecstasy.

S-Class superpowers were considered the most powerful superpowers in the entire country.

To put it bluntly, as long as he was still alive, it was only a matter of time before he became the most powerful superpowered person.

Vincent, on the other hand, had three S-Class superpowers.

As he had always been independent since he was young, he was able to contain his excitement.

"System, what kind of ability do you have?"

"As long as the host kills a monster, he will be able to obtain an enhancement pill that can be used to increase his psionic power. There is also a chance that he will receive a special reward."

Psionic power was an energy that was cultivated by the Espers. Whether it was using a psionic ability or a psionic weapon, it required the support of psionic power.

When Vincent heard the system's reply, his eyes lit up.

Increasing psionic power would allow for a significant amount of cultivation time to be saved.

There also exists an Extreme Speed Training power. The power was a support type that was commonly cultivated.

It was assumed that the cultivation speed would be as fast as a rocket.

There was also a chance to receive a special reward. Although he did not know what it was, to be considered special by the system, it was definitely not a bad thing.

Vincent approached the awakening device. He was about to lay down when something crossed his mind.

Although S-Class superpowers were rare, there were a few that would appear every year in the country. Even if the superpower was a little monstrous and overwhelming at times, it was accepted.

However, if others were to know about his three S-Class superpowers, he would be killed.

After a deep thought, Vincent stopped moving.

Houston and George were not surprised to see Vincent coming to a halt as they assumed that he was nervous.

"System, can you help me hide my two superpowers?" Vincent asked in his heart.

"Of course. Host, please choose the ability that you want hidden."

Vincent was overjoyed. "Please help me hide Extreme Speed Training and Monster Affinity."

He thought over it carefully before choosing to hide the two special superpowers.

Regardless of whether it was the Extreme Speed Training or the Monster Affinity, both required the help of external objects to be able to fight. This was too expensive for Vincent who was penniless.

On the other hand, for the Hellfire superpower, he only needed his own combat strength. There were no mandatory requirements for external objects. The superpower itself was very strong.

"Vincent, you may begin when you are ready."

George looked at Vincent with anticipation in his eyes.

Vincent nodded and laid down.

The instrument was activated. Vincent felt as if he was being drilled by a warm power drill all over his body.

The power circulated in his body, numbing him, and finally gathered in his head.

Teng!

The instrument suddenly ignited a black flame, spreading across the ground, and burned vigorously.

At first, Houston did not pay much attention to it. He waved his hand and a wall shimmering with golden light rose from the ground and blocked the black flame.

Houston's special superpower was known as the 'Defensive Wall'.

He could create an extremely thick wall that was strong enough to defend against a nuclear bomb.

However, the black flame ignited the wall and melted the outer layer.

"What a powerful flame!"

Houston's face was full of shock. He had never thought that a newly awakened superpower could actually break his defense.

Although it was only the outermost layer, it was enough to prove its power.

"This must be at least an A-Class superpower!"

George's face was filled with excitement.

At that moment, Vincent felt a raging fire burning in his body.

The fire had a terrifying destructive power. Even Vincent was a little frightened by it.

"Vincent, S-class superpower, elemental type, 'HellFire'."

Boom!

Just as the awakening machine reported Vincent's superpower, it exploded with a loud bang. Before it could even land on the ground, it turned into ashes.

Everyone looked at Vincent in shock. A circle of black flames formed around him. His pupils turned into the shape of a flame. It was extremely intense.

Everyone, including Houston, stared at Vincent, who appeared like a demon god.

"Oh my god! He's actually an S-Class!"

"There's actually an S-Class superpower user in our City of Ellis!"

"Vincent is so domineering! He's handsome and talented! I really want to marry him!"

…

Everyone discussed animatedly. They were filled with envy and jealousy.

However, no matter how they felt about it, they could not change the circumstances.𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Superpowers determine one's future status!

Vincent was destined to be someone that they could only look up to. They would never be able to catch up with him for the rest of their lives.

The most excited person was none other than George. Being able to teach an S-Class was enough to prove his teaching ability. He had begun to fantasize about his bright future.

"Vincent! You..."

Houston did not know what to say. Vincent gave him a huge shock.

"It seems like even when the principal looks at you, he will have to smile at you!"

Vincent looked indifferent. His smile was neither servile nor overbearing.

For an intermediate school to awaken an S-Class superpower was extremely beneficial to the school.

In fact, it was certain that the country would give Ellis Intermediate School a lot more education funding in the upcoming year.

More importantly, it demonstrated Ellis Intermediate School's teaching ability. As such, they should be able to obtain better-quality students during next year's enrollment.

Vincent had helped Ellis Intermediate School to become one of high quality.

"Congratulations, Vincent!"

George's face was flushed with excitement.

He was only in D-Class, but his student was in S-Class. For a teacher, that was an extremely glorious achievement.

"S! S! Class!"

Swire looked at Vincent and gulped. Although he had great confidence in Vincent, S-Class was enough to scare him.

He initially thought to himself that it would have been good enough for Vincent to even awaken a B-Class superpower.

"Hey! Swire, my friend! It's your turn, come on!"

Vincent did not pay attention to the gazes of others. He walked to Swire's side and patted his shoulder.

Swire came back to his senses and looked at Vincent who was smiling. He shrugged nonchalantly.

"Anyway, with you around, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad."

Although he said that, Vincent could see the seriousness and determination in his eyes.

As a friend, Swire was really happy for Vincent, but he still did not want to be inferior to Vincent.

Vincent watched as Swire walked onto the stage. Someone had already placed a new awakening machine.

Vincent took advantage of the moment and opened the system interface.

A virtual character interface appeared in front of Vincent. Only Vincent could see the character.

On the left side, stood a small person. It was Vincent. On the right side was a series of data.

Name: Vincent Amore

Abilities: Hellfire (S-Class elemental type), Extreme Speed Training (S-Class support type), Monster Affinity (S-Class special type)

Psionic power: 21

Realm: Probationary superpower user

Equipment: None

Combat Skills: None

An awakened superpower causes one to become a probationary superpower user. In order to become a beginner superpower user, one had to reach Level 100.

Looking at the mission panel, Vincent smiled happily.

Chapter 3

In the blink of an eye, everyone in Class Five had completed their awakening.

Except for Swire, who had awakened an A-Class superpower known as Angel's Wings, the highest level obtained by everyone else was C-Class.

Nevertheless, George was so happy that his face was blossoming.

Vincent alone was enough to rival all the A-Class students in the other classes.

Class Five had just returned to class when Swire showed off his superpower to Vincent.

Although his level was not as high as Vincent's, his angelic wings were white and flawless. In an instant, he was hundreds of meters higher. With his looks and figure, he was truly handsome.

"Vincent, come with me."

Not long after returning to the classroom, Houston walked in.

Vincent, who was annoyed by Swire, quickly got up and left without asking where he was going.

In the principal's office, Vincent saw a burly middle-aged man. When he saw Vincent, the man became very enthusiastic.

He was the principal of Ellis Intermediate School, Doyle. He was the strongest person in the entire school. He was a superpower user.

"Oh my dear Vincent, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Mr. Doyle."

Vincent was not reserved as it was his first time meeting a superpower user. His movements were neither servile nor overbearing.

In fact, Doyle was a serious person. He was very dignified and mysterious; even the teachers rarely saw him.

But in front of Vincent, he looked different. He looked at Houston, who was standing at the side, dumbfounded.

"I can't believe you've awakened an S-Class superpower. Congratulations!"

Doyle waved his hand to let Houston leave first. He looked at Vincent with a very fervent gaze. The happiness on his face could not be hidden at all.

If nothing goes wrong, after Christmas, he would be able to transfer to an advanced superpower school to teach.

The reason being that Vincent had awakened an S-Class superpower.

"Ellis will rise up because of you. You are the hero of the school!"

"On behalf of the school, I will reward you with 300,000 psionic coins."

Vincent was stunned after hearing Doyle's words,

00,000! He had never seen so much money in his entire life.

He thought that he had received a lot already, but Doyle took out something that almost made Vincent jump.

"Also, I want to personally reward you."

Doyle stood up, opened the drawer, and took out a black book.

In the book, three powerful golden words stood out: 'Collapsing Mountain Strike'.

"This is a D-Class battle technique known as Collapsing Mountain Strike for you."

Battle skill! It was actually a battle skill!

The most precious thing in the world!

Battle skills were divided into nine classes: SSS-Class to F-Class.

Although Collapsing Mountain Strike was only D-Class and was not considered top tier, it was worth hundreds of thousands of psionic coins. If it was put up for auction, it would not be impossible for it to be worth one to two million.

Vincent did not expect Doyle to give him such a precious thing.

Although he was excited, his character was steady and tough, so he did not show his emotions.

He just looked at Doyle meaningfully, thanked him, and kept it.

It was obvious that Doyle was trying to be nice to Vincent.

Having an S-Class superpower meant that he was destined to be a strong person. At the very least, he would be an overlord. It was not a bad thing to befriend such a strong person even if he was only a probationary superpower user.

And for Vincent, being able to have an additional network was a very good thing.

When Doyle saw that Vincent was willing to accept the gift, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Whilst being friendly with Vincent, it was very obvious that Doyle's heart was beating like a drum.

No matter how great Vincent's talent was, he was still a teenager. What he could do was still completely unknown.

Fortunately, Vincent's performance was not that of an ordinary teenager. His actions and words were mature enough.

"Vincent, although it's very rude to ask, please show your superpower. Let me see it."

"I'm really ashamed. I've never seen an S-Class superpower before."

Doyle said to Vincent with some embarrassment.

In fact, it was very impolite to ask others to show their superpowers for their own amusement only.

However, Doyle was really curious. He really wanted to know what an S-Class superpower from his own school looked like.

Vincent did not feel offended. He just smiled.

With a flip of his right hand, a cluster of black flames appeared in his palm.

As he mobilized the psionic power in his body, the flames grew bigger and bigger.

He threw it into the air. The flames elongated and started to revolve around him.

The pupils that were like flames became deeper and deeper, and there was actually a faint flame throbbing.

A destructive and cold aura burst out from his body.

Even though Vincent was controlling it, Doyle still felt the fear that came from the depths of his soul.

"This! This is! An S-Class superpower?"

Doyle took two steps back, his hands holding the table. His fingertips turned scaly white as he muttered softly.

"I've just awakened, and now I'm scared!"

"MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT!"

Doyle was much older than Vincent, so he had experienced a lot more.

With just a glance, he could see a lot of things.

Vincent withdrew his superpower and looked at Doyle with a smile. "Mr. Principal, you flatter me," he said.

Doyle waved his hands to calm himself down, and his expression became serious.

"Vincent, you should know about the three advanced superpower schools, right?"

Vincent nodded his head.

He knew something about the three advanced superpower schools.

There were many advanced superpower schools. For these three schools to be mentioned, of course, they had their strengths.

In order to apply to the ordinary advanced superpower schools, one had to have a D-Class superpower.

However, the three high-level superpower schools were different. The minimum requirement to apply was a B-Class superpower. This was equivalent to the special enrollment requirements to other high-leveled superpowered schools.

The three high-level superpower schools were St. John, Mokissner, and Quinn.

The three high-level superpowered schools were the dream places for all superpowered people. After graduation, they would at least become special-powered people or even Lord-Class superpowered people.

Apart from strength, the three major schools had many connections. This was something that the other universities could not top.

"Awakening an A-Class superpower can guarantee admission to the three major high-level superpower schools. And if you awaken an S-Class Superpower, you will be specially recruited."

Doyle took a sip of his coffee.

"The three major schools will come to look for you soon enough," he said.

"Are there any schools that you want to go to?"

Hearing Doyle's question, Vincent was in a bit of a dilemma.

In fact, he had never thought of going to the three schools before, so he knew very little about them.

Suddenly, it was really difficult to decide.

After all, the three schools each had their own characteristics.

"I suggest that you go to Quinn."

Doyle saw Vincent's dilemma and gave him a suggestion.

"Even though the teaching at Quinn is average, this also reflects Quinn's strength."

"After all, there is only one school in the entire country that can help you develop in an all-rounded way."

"Although it is ranked at the bottom of the three major schools, the principal is of an elemental type and will be of greater help to you."

"Of course, this is only my suggestion."

Doyle shrugged his shoulders.

Vincent nodded and said, "Thank you very much. This is very important to me.

The two of them chatted a little more about monsters, which made Vincent very happy.

Before they left, Doyle gave Vincent his contact information. If there was any issue, he could look for him.

This made Vincent sigh. His superpowers had brought him a huge increase in status.

Chapter 4

Back at home, Vincent was excited to start experimenting with his other two superpowers.

Extreme Speed Training was a good experiment. Vincent could see the increase in his power clearly just by looking at the character panel.

It was already 12 points, but it had increased by a further 5 points and it was in a situation where he did not deliberately train.

If he trained according to the meditation method taught by the school, he would definitely be able to increase it even more.

His classmate, Haston, had awakened the D-Class Cultivation Acceleration power.

It was similar to the Extreme Speed Training, but the effect was rather different.

After figuring out the Extreme Speed Training, Vincent began to try the Monster Affinity superpower.

He showed a pained expression as he took out the Fury Hound, a trainee monster that he bought on his way back from school.

Ten thousand psionic energy coins, that was all of his possessions added together.

If it was not for the purpose of testing the effects of his power, he would not have been willing to give up his psionic coins.

The Fury Hound looked like an ordinary hound, but it had a fiery temper and sharp teeth. If it was slightly unhappy, it would launch an attack.

For the sake of Vincent's safety, the seller gave him a special cage that was as thick as a baby's arm.

Vincent looked at the ferocious-looking hound and directly activated his Monster Affinity power.

The Fury Hound froze for a moment. It then became docile slowly, and finally showed a fawning expression half an hour later.

Vincent completed the test. As he looked through his notes in his notebook, he nodded with satisfaction.

The Fury Hound was lying on Vincent's feet with his tongue sticking out. It was obvious that I was exhausted.

Even though the Fury Hound was a relatively low-level monster among the trainee monsters, Vincent was satisfied with the effects of his Monster Affinity superpower.

"Seems like I can go out of the city and see what it looks like out there."

Vincent held his chin up, deep in thought.

A hundred years ago, black holes appeared all over the world. Countless monsters surged and humans were massacred.

Fortunately, there were some humans that had awakened their abilities. They led the humans to rebuild the city and slowly allowed them to gain a firm foothold.

It was very safe inside the city. However, there were still low-level monsters roaming outside of the city.

As for the black holes, there were different powerful factions guarding them.

To leave the city, one needed to have the identity of a superpowered person.

Vincent planned to do it the next day.

The next morning, Vincent went to school.

After just one day, everyone in the school knew that he had awakened an S-Class superpower.

Countless students greeted him on the way to class; their expressions were all filled with envy.

Just as he entered the class, his homeroom teacher, George, walked in.

"Vincent, the people from the three advanced schools are here."

Vincent was stunned. He never expected that the three schools would come so soon.

He had definitely underestimated how important S-Class superpowers were to the three schools.

The three schools had 50,000 to 60,000 students; all of whom were favored by the heavens. However, even so, there were only around 40 to 50 people who possessed S-Class superpowers in the schools altogether.

In the principal's office, Doyle was talking to two men and one woman respectfully.

Vincent's arrival attracted the attention of the four people.

Even without introducing them, Vincent knew that the three individuals were the specially recruited teachers of the three schools.

There was nothing he could do. The three of them were too strong, and the faint sense of oppression made Vincent feel a little suffocated.

After Doyle's introduction, Vincent knew the identities of the three of them.

The intelligent beauty with the blonde curly hair, black glasses, and black dress was Chris Qeville. She was from the Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers.

A well-built middle-aged man, Harry Fred, was from St. John Advanced School of Superpowers.

A white-haired, scholarly old man, Miller William, was from Meissner Advanced School of Superpowers.

The three of them were all high-level superpower users who were about to break through to the special class.

With such strength, if they were to work in any school in Ellis City, they would be at the level of a director or even principal. However, in the three advanced superpower schools, they were only the specially recruited teachers.

"Vincent, Nice to meet you."

Chris spoke first. She had a warm smile on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Chris."

Vincent was neither servile nor overbearing. His decent performance made their eyes light up.

"Vincent, I believe you already know the purpose of our visit. I'll cut to the chase."

Harry laughed heartily and patted Vincent on the shoulder. "St. John can provide you with all the training resources before you graduate," he said.

"This includes medicine, combat skills, weapons, and everything else you need. You will also be rewarded with one million psionic coins."

George, who was standing by the side, was shocked by St. John's generosity.

Although he knew that the three schools had a deep foundation, he did not expect them to be so domineering.

In addition to providing all the training resources, Vincent could use everything as well!

The one million psionic coins were nothing in comparison.

Miller also said, "Vincent, our Mokissner isn't as wealthy as St. John, but we can guarantee you everything you need for training. Also, you'll receive personalized guidance from an elemental lord."

Vincent's shoulders trembled when he heard that. Although he was very tempted, he did not say anything.

The three of them were once again surprised by Vincent's maturity.

If it was anyone else, they would have agreed to such generous conditions long ago.

However, Vincent remained calm. Although his excitement could be seen slightly, his ability to maintain his composure was commendable.

"Vincent, the benefits offered by the other two schools are not as much as the benefits offered by Quinn."

Chris glanced at Harry and Miller, revealing a winning smile.

"But I can guarantee that while you're in school, you'll enjoy living there and will have the training resources of a superpower user. After you graduate, you'll at least have the title of a teacher!"

"Regarding the disappearance of your parents, Quinn will also provide you with help and clues."

When she said those words, Vincent was shocked. Harry and Miller were shocked too.

The assistance and treatment offered by Quinn were equivalent to tens of millions of psionic coins.

The condition to help Vincent investigate the disappearance of his parents was not something that the two schools could offer.

The other two schools also knew of Vincent's background. However, it was too difficult for them to solve the mystery as there was no way to investigate it.

Of course, it was not that they could not do it completely. It was just that if they did do it, it would be unfair to the other S-Class students.

After all, there were just too many things involved. Money and resources could not be measured.

Miller was an elder after all. After he discovered something, he glanced at Chris and quickly said, "We Mokissner, can also give you the same conditions as Quinn."

Harry became even more surprised when Miller proposed the same thing.

Although S-Class superpowers were rare, they were far from reaching such a level. He could not understand it no matter how much he thought about it.

Chris raised her eyebrows and silently called Miller an old fox.

Vincent pondered for a long time. "Thank you, teachers, for taking me seriously. I have already made my own decision."

Honestly, no matter how many resources he could have, it was nothing to him.

After all, using the system, killing monsters could give him all kinds of rewards. Resources were not a necessity for him.

On the contrary, the disappearance of his parents was something that he had been worried about all along.

"Vincent, make your choice. We all support you."

Miller stroked his beard and looked at Vincent with a smile on his face.

Chapter 5

"Teachers, I am very sorry."

Vincent bowed slightly to Harry and Miller. His choice was obvious through his actions.

Although it was very honorable to be fought over by the three advanced schools, Vincent was not complacent.

Harry and Miller were strong individuals after all. They had to be respected.

To be arrogant would only cause more tension and problems.

Everyone was very satisfied with Vincent's performance. Harry and Miller did not even feel embarrassed or humiliated.

"Calm and courteous! Congratulations, Chris, you have gotten yourself a good seedling."

Miller looked at Chris with envy.

Harry continued to pat Vincent's shoulder. "Good kid! I'll see you at the special enrollment competition," he said.

He then left.

Miller also left after.

They still had to go to other cities to recruit S-Class superpowered people. They did not want to waste any time.

Chris wiped her waist with her right hand and took out a device that was the size of a phone.

"This is a gene entry device. After you register your genes, you'll become a student of the Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers, Class of 2021." 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Without any hesitation, Vincent registered his genes using a drop of his blood.

After the registration, Vincent officially became a new student of the Quinn Superpower School.

Chris kept the gene entry device and looked at Vincent with a smile.

After a while, Chris felt a little helpless. "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"I do have a lot of questions, but I know that there's no point in asking them now as it will only cause trouble."

Vincent shook his head slightly. Although he was very anxious to know the whereabouts of his parents, he knew very well that he was too weak at this stage. Even if he knew the details, there was nothing he could do.

As such, it was better for him to not know anything.

Chris did not expect Vincent to have such a reaction and could not help but to be stunned.

"You're right, Vincent. If you want to know, you can come and find me anytime."

"Thank you, dear teacher Chris."

Vincent bowed slightly.

"But I do have some questions."

"Where did you keep the gene entry device earlier?"

Chris answered, "This is a storage belt. It's used to store some personal items."

Storage items were created by scientists using a combination of technology and superpowers. Only superpower users could use them. There were rings, belts, necklaces, earrings, and others.

The amount of space also differed for each storage item. The price of a storage item was very expensive. Ordinary people would not be able to afford them at all.

For example, Chris's storage belt only had one cubic meter of space, but it was worth tens of millions of psionic coins.

"I have a storage ring here that can hold 500 ml of water. Consider it as my entrance gift to you."

"There's a monster illustrated book inside. Take a look and have a simple understanding of the different monsters. This will be helpful for you in the future."

Whilst Chris was speaking, she took a white crystal ring from her hand and handed it to Vincent.

Vincent looked at Chris. Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he thought of the fact that he would need to go out of the city to train in the future. He needed the ring and monster illustrated book, so he accepted it.

This ring was worth three million psionic coins. It was priceless.

The monster illustrated book was not known for its value. However, it was an extremely practical book as it allowed Vincent to learn about the pros and cons of the different monsters.

Vincent acknowledged and would remember Chris's kind gesture.

It was not necessary for Chris to give such a valuable thing to Vincent. Chris was popular and had plenty of connections.

"Thank you, teacher Chris."

Chris smiled and nodded. She then stood up and stretched. Her huge breasts trembled slightly.

"Do you have any other questions? Otherwise, I'll leave first."

Vincent shook his head.

"Alright then! This is my contact information. Before you arrive, if you have any questions, you can contact me directly."

"See you at school!"

"See you at school!"

Chris left, and Vincent turned to look at Doyle.

"Principal Doyle, there are still some things that I need to trouble you with."

"You would like the identification of a superpowered person, right?"

Doyle smiled and took out a card the size of a cigarette box from the drawer.

On it was Vincent's name, gender, superpower level and type.

Vincent was stunned. He did not expect Doyle to make one for him before he even asked.

Initially, he wanted to ask Doyle for help in order to save time.

"Thank you, Principal Doyle."

Vincent took the card.

The identity card gave him the right to enter and leave the city, and legally possess psionic weapons.

Psionic weapons could only be used by superpowered people. Ordinary people were not allowed to have them.

"You must be leaving the city."

Doyle's expression was serious.

Doyle did not know Vincent well, but he was his student after all. There was always a trail to follow.

Judging from Vincent's desperate attitude earlier, leaving the city was almost certain.

"Although there are some low-level monsters outside the city, it's still very dangerous for you now."

"Personally, I don't recommend you to go out."

Vincent's gaze was very firm. "Principal Doyle, thank you for your advice. I'll be careful."

Doyle looked at Vincent and knew that he could not persuade him, so he sighed.

"If you want to go out of the city, you must be fully prepared."

"You can tell me. I'll bring you out."

Vincent nodded and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Doyle before leaving.

He knew from that day onwards that the exam was meaningless to him. Therefore, he had more free time and could make plans.

Back at home, Vincent used his phone to open the psionic mall, and began shopping for things he needed in order to leave the city.

The psionic mall sold everything that superpowered people needed. Only superpowered individuals who have reached E-Class could register to shop.

Doyle was right. As they were going out of the city, they had to be prepared.

"Oh! My God!"

"A D-Class Black Battle Saber costs 180,000 psionic coins!"

Vincent looked at the Black Battle Saber on his screen, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The weapon that he used was a saber that was made out of wood.

If the school had not rewarded him with 300,000 psionic coins, he would not be able to purchase it and could only look at the Black Battle Saber with envy.

However, for his safety, he endured the pain and pressed the payment option.

Psionic weapons were very important to superpowered people, so he could not be careless with his decision.

Previously, he had spent 10,000 psionic coins to buy the Fury Hound. He then spent 180,000 psionic coins to buy the Black Battle Saber. 300,000 psionic coins may seem like a lot, but for superpowered people, it was like a mere drop of water in a bucket.

Vincent proceeded to spend another 80,000 psionic coins to buy a bottle of E-Class all-purpose recovery potion. The rest of the coins were spent on other types of medicine.

200,000 was all gone in a blink of an eye.

Vincent looked at his empty account and wanted to cry, but he did not shed a tear.

He closed the mall and put down his phone. Vincent took out his D-class battle skill, also known as Collapsing Mountain Strike.

As he leaped into the air, he used his weapon, striking it downwards. The shockwave caused the target to tear. If the training was pushed to the limit, one strike could split a mountain.

Vincent obviously did not believe that he could split a mountain. However, from the current training, he could see how powerful the Collapsing Mountain Strike was.

Vincent picked up his wooden saber and put it aside. He then began his training.

The training lasted for one night.

Chapter 6

The next morning, the sun was out.

After a night of training, Vincent did not feel tired. Instead, he felt refreshed.

He did not know what was going on. It was probably because he had awakened three S-Class superpowers, which had improved his spirit.

After he repeatedly brandished his saber the night before, swinging and pondering, Vincent managed to comprehend the essence of the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Although it was only a weak point, it was enough to shock everyone.

This was something that he could only comprehend after a real battle.

He knew that he would have a better insight into the power once he left the city and had the opportunity to practice it.

"Ding Dong."

The doorbell rang.

Vincent opened the door and looked at the delivery man from the psionic mall. He was stunned for a moment as he did not expect that the delivery would be so fast.

He just bought it the day before and it arrived the next day. The speed was so fast that it even made people click their tongues.

"Mr. Vincent, your delivery."

Vincent took it and closed the door. He could not wait to open the package.

He picked up a dark black, 10 cm wide and 1.2 m long battle saber.

The blade was emitting a cool light; it was obviously really sharp.

"My money did not go to waste."

Vincent was pleasantly surprised.

He was very satisfied with his saber.

Aside from superpowers, there were also weapons that could be used to deal with monsters.

The weapons were made from a type of psionic ore found in the black hole.

Psionic ore could allow weapons to be imbued with superpowers.

Ordinary weapons could be considered F-Class weapons if a little was added.

Vincent's saber contained a good amount of psionic ore. It was enough for Vincent to use it until he became an intermediate-level superpower person.

After putting all his medicine into the storage ring, Vincent opened the door and took a deep breath. The sun shone brightly on his face. He then walked out of the city full of determination.

An hour later, at the city gate, Vincent was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Hello, please show your identification."

After many years of development, the monsters around the city had been destroyed.

Only some low-level monsters were left for low-level superpower users to train.

In order to prevent high-level monsters from appearing, there were soldiers guarding a certain area. This part of the city was called a safe zone.

Vincent handed his identification to the soldiers. After the soldiers checked his identification, they let him pass.

However, the soldier was skeptical of him.

It seemed impossible for such a young kid like Vincent to leave the city.

This was the first time he had seen a young teenager leave the city to go for practice.

"Maybe he went out to see what the monsters looked like," the soldier guessed.

Vincent did not know what the soldier was thinking. He went to the wilderness, breathed in the fresh air, and started stretching.

This was the first time he had left the city in more than ten years.

The woodland and flowers outside the city were indeed very refreshing.

However, he was aware that this refreshing feeling was dangerous. If he let his guard down and relaxed, only death would await him.

In the forest, the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.

The safety zone of Ellis city was less than eight kilometers in circumference. The main monsters were of trainee-level.

The closer one was to the center, the stronger the monster was.

There were even rumors that the strongest monster in the safety zone was an intermediate-level monster.

"Moo!"

A furious roar was heard not very far away from Vincent.

Vincent quickly took out his saber. He had never expected that the first battle would come so quickly.

As he turned his head, he saw a rhinoceros that was covered in a metallic luster. Its eyes were red, and the horn on its nose was shining under the sunlight.

"Steel Rhinoceros, a monster in its probation period."

Vincent had seen this monster in the monster guide that Chris had given him.

Its entire body was as hard as steel. It ran fast as it was relying on its momentum to launch attacks.

Vincent's entire body trembled. He could not tell if it was from fear or excitement.

He had no time to think as the steel rhinoceros was just ten meters away.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Vincent raised his saber and struck the rhinoceros.

Clang!

There was no damage to the rhinoceros.

On the contrary, due to the powerful recoil, Vincent was sent flying.

While he was in the air, Vincent twisted his body forcefully. At that moment, he discovered the problem with his battle style.

Fortunately, with the buffer of his battle blade, the Steel Rhinoceros did not cause any damage to him.

Vincent rolled over and landed on the ground.

The Steel Rhinoceros then charged towards Vincent once again.

Vincent remembered the Steel Rhinoceros's weakness. The Steel Rhinoceros was not agile. He quickly dodged and at the same time, slashed the Steel Rhinoceros's waist. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Clang!

It still did not do any damage to it.

"I'm still not used to it!"

Vincent shook his head in disappointment and snapped his fingers using his left hand.

He decided to use his special ability to end this meaningless battle.

A cluster of black flames appeared along Vincent's fingertips. The surrounding space became a little smoky as he casually threw flames on the Steel Rhinoceros.

The Steel Rhinoceros initially thought that it could kill Vincent easily. However, it failed twice and I was very angry.

This time round, it was determined to smash Vincent into pieces.

The Steel Rhinoceros launched another attack. However, when it saw the black flames flying towards it, it felt afraid.

It tried to stop its attack, but because of its inertia, it still slid forward a few dozen meters and was engulfed by the black flames.

S-Class elemental ability, Hellfire!

It was simply a disaster for the Steel Rhinoceros.

Boom!

As soon as the black flames hit the body of the Steel Rhinoceros, a shocking scene unfolded right before Vincent's eyes.

The raging flames instantly swallowed the entire Steel Rhinoceros, and with the help of the crops on the ground, the fire spread out in all directions.

In the span of one breath, the Steel Rhinoceros disappeared without a trace. Not a single sound was made, and not even a speck of dust was left behind.

If Vincent failed to control Hellfire, the safe zone would have been set ablaze.

Even so, nearly a hundred square meters were still burnt to the ground.

Vincent looked at the black flames on his fingertips and broke out in cold sweat. He had underestimated the terror of Hellfire.

"I killed a trainee monster instantly, how terrifying!"

Vincent exclaimed.

He knew that the Steel Rhinoceros tried to escape after seeing the flames but it was useless.

Vincent guessed that even a novice monster that was about to enter beginner-level would not be able to defend against Hellfire.

After sensing the power consumption in his body, Vincent frowned slightly.

More than ten points of power had been consumed.

He only had 22 points of power!

In theory, he could only use it twice.

If he took any longer, he would probably only be able to use it once.

The consumption made him click his tongue.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an apprentice-level monster, Steel Rhinoceros. You have obtained one upgrade pill."

"Do you wish to consume it?"

The system's notification sounded.

"Consume it."

"Ding! You have successfully consumed the upgrade pill. Your power limit has increased by 5 points."

Vincent was stunned when he heard the system notification.

He had never expected that the upgrade pill could increase his power limit by so much.

This was roughly equivalent to a day's worth of intensive training.

"With a few more pills, does it mean that I will become a beginner-level superpower user?"

Vincent muttered. He was surprised.

The system was indeed the fastest way to become stronger!

After checking what he had gained, Vincent set off to explore other places.

Chapter 7

Half an hour later, Vincent encountered another monster.

The monster was an apprentice-level monster known as the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

Its entire body was burning with scarlet flames. It had sharp teeth and claws. Its movements were swift, and its agility was high. It was unable to engage in close combat.

The flames on its body had a very strong burning property. If one touched it, he or she would turn into ashes within half an hour.

The most terrifying thing about its flame was that it had a very strong reigniting property.

Vincent did not expect to meet this kind of monster. He was focused.

The Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf saw Vincent, roared, and charged straight at him.

It was like a Lamborghini driving at high speed.

Sizzle!

Before Vincent could react, there was a hole in his body.

The flames burned Vincent's body, and the wound became charred flesh.

Vincent's body only started reacting when the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was twenty meters away.

"So fast!"

Vincent was shocked.

Although he knew that the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was very fast, he still underestimated it when fighting it.

His body was still burning in flames even when he fought back. His instincts were somewhat chaotic, but he was instantly surprised.

The flames had no reaction on his body; even his clothes were not burned.

The Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was also dumbfounded when it saw that Vincent was completely fine after its attack.

It could not understand how its undefeatable flames failed to have any effect on Vincent.

Vincent and the monster looked at each other; both were confused about what was going on.

After ten minutes, the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf bowed and attacked Vincent again.

It thought that since the flames were useless against Vincent, it would use its sharp claws to tear him apart.

Vincent was the first to make a move. He held the hilt of the saber with both hands, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

His mind recalled the feeling of practicing the Collapsing Mountain Strike the night before.

At this very moment, everything around him slowed down.

He could feel that the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was in front of him, and its sharp teeth were about to sink into his neck.

"Collapsing Mountain Strike!"

Vincent suddenly opened his eyes and swung his saber downwards.

Swoosh!

He managed to chop off the left front leg of the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

There was no obstruction.

"Howl!"

The Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf cried in pain and fell to the right.

The pain of losing its left front leg did not make it retreat. Instead, the pain aroused its ferocity.

Its eyes were red and its ferocity intensified.

He attacked Vincent once again.

"How troublesome."

Vincent dodged and thought to himself.

With a wave of his hand, black flames along with the flames on his body flew towards the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

"Try my flames!"

Teng!

The Black Flames instantly devoured the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf, die!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an apprentice-level monster, Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf. You have obtained an upgrade pill."

"Do you wish to consume it?"

"Yes."

"Ding! You have successfully consumed the upgrade pill. Your maximum power has been increased by 6 points."

"Please open the character panel."

Name: Vincent Emore

Ability: Hellfire (S-Class elemental type), Extreme Speed Training (S-Class support type), Monster Affinity (S-Class special type)

Psionic power: 33

Realm: Apprentice-level superpower user.

Equipment: D-Class Black Battle Saber

Combat Skill: Collapsing Mountain Strike

Grade: D-Class combat skill

Proficiency: 15%

"I'm almost at the beginner level!"

Vincent looked at the attributes on his character's interface and felt an abundance of energy in his body. He was very excited.

It had only been three days since he awakened his superpower, and he was already about to become a beginner superpower user.

If the others knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.

"Continue!"

Vincent waved his fist energetically.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was nighttime.

Vincent had killed a total of 11 monsters. His body was covered with the monsters' blood.

His temperament was also very different from before.

He was steady and fierce.

His every move had strong killing intent.

His battle experience also improved greatly.

His psionic power limit had also increased by 17 points, reaching 50 points.

In other words, even if Vincent did not do anything, ten days was enough for him to advance.

Vincent's power limit did not increase much after taking the upgrade pill.

He had even encountered a few instances where it had only increased by 1 point.

However, as it was better than nothing, he just went with it.

The only thing that troubled him was the proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike and Hellfire power.

The proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike had been stuck at 49%. No matter how much he racked his brains, he could not understand it.

If this were to happen to other people, they would wake up with a smile on their faces.

One had to know that even for geniuses, it would take at least two months to reach this level of proficiency in a single combat technique.

Yet, he was in a dilemma here. If others found out about it, they would still try to upset him.

His Hellfire power was still too strong. It was because he had yet to learn how to control it.

As a result, every time he used Hellfire, the monster he attacked would not be left with any remains.

The monster's blood, bones, and other parts could all be sold for money.

After every battle, not even a strand of hair was left. This made his current poor situation even worse.

"It's getting late, let's go home."

After stretching his back, Vincent prepared to return home.

Spending the night outside of the city was extremely dangerous even if he was within the safe zone.

Moreover, the monsters were most active at night.

Bang Bang Bang!

"F*ck! This is my first experience. How did I meet such a troublesome fellow!"

On the way, gunshots and curses were heard.

Vincent felt like they were somewhat familiar, but he did not appear rashly. Instead, he hid behind a boulder and watched.

Outside the city, ensuring one's own safety was the most important thing.

A handsome teen was flying in the air. The psionic pistol in his hand was glowing as he shot continuously at a shadow under the night sky.

However, because of the night sky and the teen flying at high speed, all he saw was a shadow.

The young man was obviously not familiar with the psionic pistol.

This caused the young man's accuracy to be very poor. Eight out of ten shots hit the ground.

"What a waste of an A-class psionic pistol."

Vincent could not help but ridicule.

He had seen this pistol at the psionic mall yesterday. It was worth hundreds of millions of psionic coins.

Suddenly, he realized that something was not right. There was a pair of pure white wings on the back of the young man.

"Swire?"

Upon closer inspection, it really was his good friend Swire.

After he realized that it was Swire, Vincent pulled out his Black Battle Saber, and charged forward.

"Vincent!"

Swire did not expect to meet Vincent.

"Vincent! Don't mind me! Hurry up and leave! This is a low-level monster, the Phantom Lion!"

As he said that, he stopped running and made a skillful turn in the air, charging towards the Phantom Lion.

He wanted to give Vincent a chance to escape.

After all, he assumed that Vincent was just like him, a newbie who had just awakened his power.

Although Vincent's power level was higher than his, his power was not much stronger than his.

Due to the special characteristics of his power, he was inferior to Vincent when facing the Phantom Lion.

Nevertheless, he was determined to die and took the initiative to attack. Before he died, he wanted to take one last look at Vincent. However, he was almost scared out of his mind.

Chapter 8

Vincent grabbed onto his saber using both hands and leaped into the air.

His Black Battle Saber strikes down on the Phantom Lion.

"No!"

Swire roared and closed his eyes in despair.

He thought of Vincent's miserable death under the claws of the Phantom Lion.

Swoosh!

A saber aura formed by black flames flew towards the Phantom Lion's forehead.

Roar!

The Phantom Lion suddenly let out a scream.

Swire opened his eyes in a daze.

After seeing the Phantom Lion split into two, Vincent held his saber in one hand and stood proudly whilst black flames were burning on his body.

He was like an undefeatable devil!

Vincent twisted his saber and placed it back into the scabbard behind him.

The situation was rather dire, so he had to use his special ability on his saber.

In order to ensure a one-hit kill, he unleashed his power without any hesitation.

This caused his body to be pushed to the brink of exhaustion.

The feeling of weakness surged upon him like a wave.

However, there was nothing he could do as he had used all his strength.

After all, this was only a low-level Phantom Lion, and it was fast.

He was afraid that he would not be able to kill it in one hit.

If that happened, not only would he have failed to save Swire, but he might die too.

Swire went to Vincent.

He gulped as he saw the Phantom Lion split into two before him.

"My God!"

"Vincent! You actually killed it!"

Swire looked at Vincent in shock.

The situation before him was something that he could have never imagined.

They had both just awakened, but Vincent was already ready and able to kill a beginner monster.

However, Swire was being chased by a beginner monster instead.

The difference between the two was obvious.

Vincent did not pay any attention to Swire, as he received a few system notifications that made him really excited.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, mountain collapsing strike proficiency has reached 50%!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully killed a beginner monster, Phantom Lion. You have received a bottle of body-forging potion."

"Do you wish to use it?"

"Eh? It's not an upgrade pill!"

Out of curiosity, Vincent checked the information on the body-forging medicine.

Body-forging medicine: apply it all over the body. It can strengthen the body and remove impurities from the body. There will be a slight tingling pain sensation.

After reading the information regarding the medicine, Vincent knew that this was not something that he could use at the moment. He then decided to reject it.

"Ding! Due to the host's refusal to use the body-forging medicine, special storage space has been opened."

"Body-forging medicine has been stored."

Vincent was stunned. His emotional system still had storage space!

Upon further investigation, he discovered that there were a total of 30 slots. Each slot could store 99 sets of the same item.

Even storage items could be stored inside.

Vincent's eyes lit up.

This meant that he almost had unlimited storage space!

After accepting everything, Vincent looked at Swire.

"Swire, what are you doing outside the city?"

"Although you have an A-class superpower, you don't have any combat ability. Are you courting death by coming to the wilderness alone?"

Swire waved the sparkling psionic pistol in his hand.

"Who says I don't have combat ability!"

Vincent was speechless.

The psionic pistol relied on compressing psionic power to attack, so its power was naturally unusual.

A-Class and above could also be equipped with crystals to save psionic energy in their bodies.

Although the power was not weak, it was, however, very expensive.

Only a rich second generation like Swire was willing to waste so much.

"I originally thought that relying on the flying ability of Angel's Wings would not be embarrassing."

"I never thought that I would meet such a deviant fella on the first day." Swire became a little embarrassed.

"You're really unlucky."

Vincent patted Swire's shoulder pitifully.

"Do you still want to continue?"

Vincent pointed in the direction of the forest.

"No, no, no!"

Swire shook his head. "I've used up most of the crystals, and I don't have much psionic power left."

"I don't want to die yet."

Vincent looked at Swire; how could he not have known that he was looking for an excuse.

It was obvious that he was frightened by the Phantom Lion.

"Then let's go, I want to go back too."

While talking, Vincent had already recovered quite a bit of strength and was the first one to walk towards the city.

On the way, Swire saw that Vincent was covered in blood and was secretly shocked.

He could tell that the blood on Vincent's body was not the blood of one or two monsters.

"Vincent, my friend, did you stay outside the city for a day?"

Vincent nodded and did not say anything further.

"Then what strength do you have now? Even such a troublesome fellow like the Phantom Lion was killed in one strike!"

"Not much. I did give my all just now."

Vincent did not give Swire a direct answer.

Given Vincent's reply, Swire curled his lips and did not pursue the matter any further.

When they returned to the city gate, the soldier saw that Vincent was covered in blood. He was stunned.

At first, he thought that Vincent was only going out to have a look around. He did not expect that he would actually fight a monster.

Having fought monsters all year round, he could easily tell that the blood on Vincent's body belonged to different monsters.

At Vincent's age, there were very few people who could fight and win against monsters.

After verifying both their identities, the soldier watched the two enter the city in shock.

"Vincent, thank you for saving me. In the future, I won't be worse than you!"

Swire said firmly before separating from Vincent.

Vincent naturally encouraged him.

Under Swire's insistence, the two even made a bet to fight it out during the college freshmen competition.

An hour later, Vincent returned home, took off his dirty clothes, and threw himself on the bed like he was a broken sack.

The day of constant fighting had exhausted him physically and mentally. However, compared to what he had gained, it was nothing.

He even liked the feeling of fighting.

In the city, it was safe and quiet.

Outside the city, danger lurked everywhere.

The two completely different feelings gave him an extremely powerful spiritual impact.

It was as if a lifetime had passed!

These words were the most suitable description to describe his current mood.

After resting for more than half an hour, Vincent stood up and took a shower. After showering, he then took out the body forging medicine.

He looked at the pale blue liquid in the glass bottle in his hand. The silver light inside was sparkling like stars. It was very beautiful.

He opened the lid and sniffed. There was no smell at all.

He poured a little onto his palm hesitantly and rubbed it on his arm. It felt ice-cold and was very comfortable.

Other than that, he did not feel anything else.

"Didn't you say that it would be a little painful?"

Vincent muttered in confusion. He then continued to apply the remaining medicine to his entire body.

The comfortable feeling made him groan.

He could feel that something was flowing into his body through his pores.

Following the flow of his blood, it flowed through his entire body.

Hiss! 𝑙𝑖𝑏𝓇𝘦𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He suddenly felt a piercing pain in his arm.

"Is it here?"

The pain was not unbearable. Vincent lowered his head curiously. He then saw something black that emitted a foul smell coming out of his pores.

He then felt a sharp pain all over his body.

Vincent suddenly widened his eyes and cried out in pain. It was very painful.

The pain in one place was still bearable, but the pain he felt on his entire body could not be endured.

It was like a whip.

And it was the kind that was dipped in cold water.

"F*CK!"

"F*CK!"

Vincent cursed, repeatedly.

He curled up on the ground, rolled around, and finally fainted.

Chapter 9

The next morning, Vincent was woken up by a foul smell.

He got up quickly to take a shower. He wanted to turn on the valve but had twisted it off by accident instead.

Looking at the valve in his hand, Vincent was stunned for a long time as he felt like he did not use much strength.

After reinstalling the valve, he then carefully proceeded to take three showers until the stench on his body had disappeared.

When he looked into the mirror, his original dark-colored skin had turned into a healthy wheat color.

The bulging muscles on his body were tighter than before, and his figure was perfect.

Even the wound that was caused by the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf on the day before had disappeared.

Clenching his fists, he felt an unprecedented strength flow through him. It was indeed substantial.

"The body forging medicine is indeed powerful!"

Vincent was pleasantly surprised.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Chris.

"Hi! Vincent, have you seen the information I sent you last night?"

"Information?"

Vincent was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"I'm sorry, teacher Chris. I didn't notice it when I was training last night."

"Oh! You're really hard-working."

Chris smiled and said, "You have to know how to combine work and rest. After all, you've just awakened your superpower. Don't be anxious."

"Alright, teacher Chris."

Vincent followed her advice.

"Oh right, teacher Chris, I plan to go to Blazing City at the end of the month."

Blazing city was the city where the Quinn Advanced Superpower School was located.

The entire city was divided into five parts, while the Quinn School had six branches.

Hence, it was nicknamed the "Beautiful Blazing City within the powerful Quinn School."

"Really?"

Chris was very happy when she heard Vincent's words.

"This is a good thing for you. After all, Ellis city is too backward and is no longer suitable for you."

"When you arrive at the school, you may report yourself directly. Your genes have been recorded before, and the school has your information."

"I'll contact you when I return to the school."

Chris asked Vincent some more questions, and the two of them hung up the phone shortly after.

Vincent then went to turn on his computer to check the email that Chris had sent him.

It contained some common knowledge about superpowers, as well as the methods and precautions to take during training.

It was not much, but one of the six stages of using superpowers caught Vincent's attention and interest.

The six stages of using superpowers were middle school and high school level-three, and above that were special, free, and undamaged.

The beginner level only needed to release power outside of the body. However, it would waste 100% of the power.

At this stage, every awakened superpower user could do it.

The intermediate level needed to compress power to the size of a basketball, and 80% of the power would be wasted.

In other words, after reaching the intermediate level, the superpower would increase by 20%.

Vincent was a man of action, so he quickly started experimenting.

He opened his right hand and gathered power in his palm.

Bang!

At first, the power could not be gathered together, and it was very scattered.

As Vincent tried to compress it, the power suddenly exploded and gradually disappeared.

When he tried again, he faced the same result. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Vincent felt that something was wrong. He pondered for a long time, and only when his stomach growled, did he realize that it was already dark outside.

He poured himself a cup of cereal and watched as the cereal slowly disappeared into the liquid. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

The human body was like a cup. Power was like cereal.

It was natural for a lot of space to be wasted when something was in a solid state. Therefore, it was key to know how to turn the power into liquid.

Cereal needed water. What did power need?

Vincent stared at the cereal in his cup and frowned.

Psionic power!

Yes!

It was psionic power!

Since it was the six stages of using a superpower, it was also a compressed power.

The most important thing was psionic power!

Vincent suddenly raised his head, his brows relaxed, and with a flip of his hand, he released Hellfire.

He then added psionic power into Hellfire, whilst controlling Hellfire to maintain the size of a basketball.

A minute later, the fireball exploded.

Vincent quickly retracted it back into his body. Otherwise, the house would have been set on fire.

After all, his parents were still missing, and he had a lot of feelings for everything in the house.

Although he did not maintain it for long, Vincent was not disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was very happy.

At the very least, it proved that his train of thought was correct. He needed to explore it further in order to master it.

For the next three days, Vincent had been compressing his psionic power at home.

By the time he left the house, the second stage of practice had been completed.

His control over his power had improved tremendously.

Apart from that, he also discovered that his power was no longer in the shape of a flame.

Instead, it would change into various shapes according to his will.

Through the test, he also discovered that the strength of a psionic power in various shapes also differed greatly.

For example, the arrow-shaped ability had an extremely strong penetrative power. It was very effective against monsters with a strong defense like the Steel Rhinoceros.

Taking into consideration the monsters outside the city, he was confident that after killing the Phantom Lion, he would still have the strength to fight another apprentice-level monster.

Most importantly, he would no longer burn the monsters completely to ashes.

After all, the monsters were full of treasures and could be exchanged for money.

After not attending school for almost seven days, Vincent decided to go back.

Although he did not really care about school, he was still a student of Ellis. Thus, he had to go back.

When he returned to school, Vincent did not see any of his classmates. Just as he was about to call Swire to ask about the situation, he saw a junior running over to him angrily.

Vincent stopped him and asked him what was going on. Only then did he realize that today was the Ellis City Intermediate School's graduation tournament.

The purpose of the tournament was to strengthen the students' mastery of superpowers.

The reason he did not tell Vincent was because he was afraid that he would disturb Vincent's training.

After all, as he was the only S-Class superpowered person in the entire city, his training was the most important thing. Nothing else mattered.

Seuss Intermediate School had always been the No. 1 school in Ellis City. However, as Ellis School had awakened an S-Class like Vincent, Seuss was extremely against Ellis Intermediate School.

So far, Ellis Intermediate School had lost three matches in a row. Swire was on stage, and he was about to lose next.

Although Vincent wanted to leave, he could not watch others bully his school and classmates.

He set off for the city square, where the competition was held.

At the same time, in the city square arena...

"F*ck!"

Swire circled in the air impatiently. However, he could not land.

This is because the rules of the competition forbade the use of weapons. This made him useless as he was completely unable to attack.

His opponent was a superpower person who had awakened a B-Class elemental superpower that could control the earth mage. His offense and defense were insanely strong.

Although his level was higher than his opponent's, he was at a disadvantage.

"Hahaha! So, this is the Ellis Intermediate School that has awakened an S-Class superpower? It's just average!"

The students of the Seuss Intermediate School ridiculed him in a sour tone.

The teacher stood to the side with a smile on his face. He had no intention of stopping them.

Seuss had always been the number one school in Ellis City. However, they did not have an S-Class superpower person.

On the other hand, there was Vincent on Ellis's side. Their hearts were filled with jealousy.

However, they knew that they could not change the circumstances. Instead, all they could do was kill Ellis's spirit.

On Ellis's side, both teachers' and students' faces were ashen.

Although they lost in the past, they did not lose so miserably.

Out of the three matches, they would at least win one.

Instead, they had lost all three matches. This was Ellis's worst result.

"Bruce, you have to deal with the weak cleanly. They are not worthy of respect."

The strongest person in Seuss, Aaron, had an indifferent expression.

On stage, Bruce chuckled but did not speak. The pace of his attack on Swire became faster.

This increased the pressure on Swire, and the power consumption was even faster.

"No! I can't hold on any longer!"

The power in Swire's body had been exhausted. The wings on his back slowly disappeared, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Stop! We..."

Before George could finish his words, a figure had already darted out.

His movements were extremely swift.

"It's Vincent!"

Those with good eyes recognized the figure and shouted in surprise.

Vincent jumped up and caught Swire who was falling.

At the same time, he raised his hand and fired a Hellfire arrow at Bruce.

Bruce felt the terrifying power of Vincent's arrow and quickly set up his defense.

Five layers of earth walls were penetrated in one hit!

Bang!

Bruce was sent flying. He did not even have the chance to scream. Before he could even land, he fainted.

"You're right. The weak really don't need respect."

Everyone heard Vincent's cool and calm voice.

Chapter 10

Everyone in Seuss Middle School felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their heads.

Although they looked down on Ellis's students, they were still quite afraid of an S-class like Vincent.

"Is this an S-class superpowered person? What a powerful aura!"

"It's as if he's facing the teachers."

The students of Seuss Intermediate School whispered among themselves, their words filled with admiration for the strong.

The teachers' pupils contracted.

With their eyesight, how could they not have known that Vincent had seen blood before?

The aura around him was fundamentally different from those who just started training.

"Vincent is domineering!"

"Teach them a good lesson!"

As Vincent arrived, Ellis Middle School's originally dispirited aura was instantly revitalized.

Similar to a spark falling into dry wood, it immediately ignited into a huge fire.

When Swire saw Vincent, he heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, he had personally seen Vincent kill a beginner-level monster with a single hit.

He was very confident in Vincent's strength.

"Vincent, you're here."

Vincent nodded, patted Swire's shoulder, and turned to look at Aaron.

"What's your name?"

"Aaron."

Aaron's body trembled, and he subconsciously answered.

He then immediately reacted, revealing a face full of humiliation and anger.

Why did he tell him his name!

"Teacher George, I'll go next."

Vincent did not pay attention to Aaron's anger. His gaze turned to George, and said confidently, "No problem."

George was happy to let Vincent go on stage, so he agreed.

Vincent looked at Aaron again and then looked at the students of Seuss.

"You guys go up together."

His tone was indifferent, and his expression was calm.

It was as if it was just a casual greeting.

However, his appearance brought anger to all the students of Seuss.

"Too arrogant!"

"Aaron, teach this arrogant guy a good lesson!"

"So what if he's an S-class! I don't believe that he's stronger than Aaron!"

"Aaron is someone who's about to become a beginner-level superpower user!"

Although they were very angry, the students of Seuss were not blinded by their anger.

They knew very well the gap between them and Vincent.

However, Aaron was different. He was the strongest person in Seuss Intermediate School.

They firmly believed that Aaron could defeat Vincent even if Vincent was an S-Class.

Vincent did not say anything. He just waited silently.

It was not that he was being pretentious. It was that this group of people did not bother him at all.

Whether it was in terms of temperament or strength, they were considered inferior.

Of course, his current appearance also had the intention of making the Ellis school famous.

After all, it was his alma mater. They had taken care of him a lot. If it could help the school to improve, he would obviously be willing to help.

Aaron's face was ashen.

To him, Vincent was completely ignoring him.

As a powerhouse, he naturally could not tolerate such disregard.

"Good! Good! Good!", Aaron said and revealed a cruel smile.

"Vincent, I will make you pay for everything you've done!"

Before he even finished speaking, his entire person was like a god floating in the air.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and a green light flashed across his body from time to time within 30 cm.

A-Class elemental ability, Wind Blade!

"Vincent, prepare to receive the wrath of a powerhouse!"

Aaron shouted in a low voice and waved his hand at Vincent.

Whoosh!

A green wind blade flew towards Vincent.

It was so fast that it was three times faster than the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

The teachers and students of Seuss all had confident smiles.

Aaron's cultivation was high, and his superpower was the second fastest wind element among the elements.

Even if Vincent was an S-Class superpower user, victory was within his reach.

"Aaron, be careful. Don't hurt Vincent."

Teacher Turney of Seuss school said with a smile.

"Don't worry, teacher Turney. I won't hurt Vincent."

Aaron looked like he had the victory in his hands.

"Aaron is Mighty!"

"That's right! Teach him a good lesson, this arrogant fellow!"

Seuss middle school's students shouted excitedly.

Vincent just looked at the wind blade that was getting closer and closer with an indifferent expression.

"Vincent, show your Hellfire, or you won't stand a chance."

Aaron laughed arrogantly.

Vincent glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

Coincidentally, the wind blade was two centimeters away from Vincent.

Whoosh!

The wind blade seemed to have hit something and scattered, disappearing.

"Huh?"

The shouting from the Seuss students came to an abrupt end.

Teacher Turney's smile froze on his face.

Aaron's face was filled with disbelief.

The teachers and students of Ellis High School also had puzzled expressions on their faces. They had no idea what had happened.

"This is your strength? That's all."

Vincent shook his head in disappointment.

In reality, he had only pulled the Hellfire into countless invisible lines and placed them in front of him.

Aaron's blade collided with the Hellfire and was immediately split apart. Finally, it disappeared.

However, from an outsider's perspective, it was as if Aaron's blade had disappeared right in front of Vincent.

"This is impossible!"

Aaron shouted in disbelief.

He knew his own strength and superpower very well; even the hardest alloy would have been cut off easily.

It was simply impossible for such a situation to occur.

"Nothing is impossible."

"Your eyes only see Ellis City, and mine, the Sea of Stars!"

"Your eyes are too short-sighted."

Vincent extended his right hand towards Aaron and clenched it.

A large net of burning black flames suddenly trapped Aaron, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.

"It's over."

Teacher Turney closed his eyes in despair.

Even he did not know when Vincent had done something to Aaron's side.

The difference in their understanding of superpowers was too great.

"As expected of someone who has seen blood. Ellis city will rise because of him."

Turney was extremely certain in his heart.

It had only been less than two seconds from the moment Vincent made his move until the end of the battle.

It was not shocking.

It was not earth-shattering.

There was only calmness and strangeness.

That's right, it was strange.

Vincent's attack was too strange.

It was clearly an extremely powerful elemental ability, but he used it as a control-type ability.

Furthermore, it was the type that disappeared without a trace. Who could bear it?

No one understood the reason behind Aaron's blade and how it disappeared right in front of Vincent.

It would be even more confusing for those who had not even seen Hellfire before. Even the ones who saw Hellfire at Ellis Intermediate School were dumbfounded, especially Swire.

He had seen Vincent's Hellfire fight with his own eyes before.

This time was obviously different from the last time. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The two of them were good friends. They had a friendship that could last a lifetime.

However, Vincent's growth made him clench his fists tightly.

Light flashed in his eyes, and he became more and more determined.

"No! I refuse to accept this!"

Aaron was still struggling. He still had many powerful offensive moves.

He could not accept such a baffling defeat.

The Hellfire burned his body, leaving marks behind.

Although Vincent had control of the S-Class superpower, the damage caused by Hellfire was very great.

"We admit defeat."

Although teacher Turney could not accept this result, he had no other choice.

"No! Teacher Turney! I didn't lose!"

Aaron roared and spat out a mouthful of blood. He tilted his head and fainted from anger.

Chapter 11

The people from Seuss Intermediate School rushed to save Aaron. They were afraid that something might have happened to him.

Turney knew very well that Seuss Intermediate School's overall strength was stronger than Ellis's.

However, Vincent's presence made Seuss's advantage irrelevant.

Turney was sure of this due to his years of experience teaching.

Even if all the participants from Seuss Intermediate School were to attack together, they would not be a match for Vincent. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

If Vincent were to use his superpowers directly, they would not be able to handle it.

Moreover, Vincent's strength was definitely not low.

During the battle with Aaron earlier, it was clear that Vincent was holding back.

However, if everyone attacked together, Vincent might not hold back.

"Vincent's Hellfire. If you are not a beginner-level superpower user, you won't be able to block it."

Turney said to the other Seuss Intermediate School teachers enviously.

The teachers nodded in agreement.

Because of Vincent, a rivalry match turned into a life-and-death battle.

It was really scary.

George smiled and clapped gently. "Congratulations! Seuss Intermediate School is the champion again this year."

Although he lost the match, George was not upset at all.

Everyone present knew the reason.

Turney was upset, but he did not show it.

"More importantly, Congratulations to Ellis!"

"Turney, you're too polite," George waved his hand.

"Oh, right, Vincent has been specially recruited by the Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers. He is the first one in the past ten years!"

"Oh? What a coincidence! Aaron has also been sent to Quinn."

Turney was a little surprised.

It was not surprising that Vincent had been specially recruited, but that Vincent and Aaron were in the same school.

Aaron, who had just woken up, heard George's words and his face darkened.

As he calmed down, he carefully recalled the battle, and his entire body broke out in cold sweat.

Parts of his body that had been burned by the Hellfire were still hurting.

No one knew about the terror of the Hellfire more than he did.

When he thought about how he would be in the same school with such a terrifying guy in the future, the wounds on his body hurt even more.

Damn it!

If he had known earlier, he would have kept a low profile.

Aaron thought of this in his heart, and his face turned ashen.

It was getting late, and the students returned to their schools under their teachers' guidance.

This year's competition had come to an end.

Although the first place was still Seuss Intermediate School, everyone knew that the biggest winner this year was Ellis Intermediate School.

When they returned to school, all the teachers and students were a little unenthusiastic to know that Vincent was going to leave for Blazing City at the end of the month.

However, they were very clear about the gap between themselves and Vincent.

From the moment Vincent awakened his S-class superpower, it was destined that his path would be different from the others.

Under the night sky, Doyle generously treated the entire school to a meal.

It was rare for Vincent to abandon his training.

However, before he left, he wanted to say goodbye to the school, the teachers, and the students who had taken care of him.

Everyone was very happy during the meal. George and Swire even drank a lot of wine. Even Vincent felt a little dizzy.

"Vincent, my friend! Wait for me in Blazing City!"

"I'll definitely go to Blazing City to look for you. When the time comes, we'll fight all over..."

Swire patted Vincent's shoulder. He could not even speak clearly. Before he could finish his words, he had already passed out.

Vincent looked at Swire who was unconscious and nodded his head vigorously.

Swire had awakened an A-Class special ability; however, he was not able to see any combat strength at the moment.

However, this did not affect his talent.

Moreover, awakening an A-Class ability would allow him to get a free pass. However, in the end, he would still have to go through Quinn's assessment.

Only by passing the assessment would he be able to become a student of Quinn.

Even if he was not accepted by Quinn school, he would not have any problems getting into the other schools in Blazing City.

"This child has high aspirations. He gave up the free pass and insisted on passing the normal assessment."

George was an adult after all. Although he was a little drunk, he was still sober.

He looked at Swire with a gratified expression and spoke to Vincent.

"I've tried to persuade him many times, but he insisted on doing so. There's nothing I can do."

As he spoke, he shook his head.

"But I'm really happy to be able to teach the two of you in my lifetime."

He turned to look at Vincent, his gaze filled with love.

"Vincent, I don't have many abilities. Thus, I can't teach you too much."

George was like a loving father to Vincent. He reminded Vincent, "When you're out there, please be careful."

"If anything happens, remember, the school will always be your home. Come back anytime."

After saying that, George revealed a self-deprecating smile.

"What am I saying! Seriously!"

"You are a genius, the pride of a teacher. How can you not survive!"

"Teacher believes that no matter where you are, you will be the pride of everyone!"

Whether it was before or after the awakening of his superpower, to George, Vincent was really his pride.

The corners of Vincent's eyes were wet. He could hear the concern in George's words.

"Teacher George, don't worry. I'll be fine outside!"

"I'll come back often to see you and everyone!"

George patted Vincent's head with relief and did not say anything further.

Instead, he picked up a glass full of wine in front of him and drank it.

He then laid on the table.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. During that time, Vincent was only 22 psionic power points away from advancing to a beginner-level superpower user.

Ellis city was no longer able to meet his training speed.

Even though he had tried other methods in the past few days, except for his psionic power, his growth in all other aspects was still very low.

He stood at the railway station of Blazing City, he took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

His appearance and figure were already very good, to begin with. After his superpower was awakened, he became even more handsome and imposing.

He was wearing a black and red jacket that intersected with each other, making him appear extremely valiant and tough.

When he stood there, his body was surrounded by a cold aura, which attracted the attention of countless females.

Vincent naturally did not care about the gazes of others.

He walked out of the station.

This was the first time he had left Ellis City.

Blazing City was his first stop. Everything in the city gave him a strong refreshing feeling.

"As expected of a big city, it is indeed bustling!"

Vincent muttered to himself.

Blazing City was ranked 98th in the world. Although it was relatively low, it was still amongst the super cities.

The black hole had caused the world to fall into chaos. It took some time for thousands of cities to be established under the leadership of the strong.

The rankings were created based on the different strengths, defenses, attacks against the monsters, and levels of prosperity.

The top 100 cities were known as super cities, and they were located all over the world.

Falcon Nation, which was also Vincent's country, occupied three of them, and its national strength was ranked as second in the world.

If someone threw bricks from a high platform at random, it would hit 9 out of 10 superpowered people.

Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that superpowered people were indeed everywhere.

Moreover, these superpowered people were all very powerful.

Although Vincent's power level was extremely high, he still felt the pressure in that kind of environment.

"Sir, please show me your identity card as a superpowered person."

When he walked to the station entrance, a beautiful female staff member with extremely good looks, large breasts, and long legs stopped him.

Vincent was surprised that the beautiful woman actually had the power of an intermediate-level superpowered person.

He sighed again. A big city indeed had the foundation of a big city.

Vincent handed over his identity card and waited for verification.

In a city like Blazing City, the supervision of superpowered people was very strict.

"Welcome to Blazing City. I wish you a happy life in Blazing City!"

The beautiful lady handed over Vincent's identity card respectfully to him.

This was the most basic respect for a superpowered person who had awakened an S-Class superpower.

Vincent walked out of the station and got into a taxi. As soon as he got in, a figure crashed into him.

Chapter 12

"Hurry up and drive! Hurry up and drive!"

The girl patted the taxi driver in an anxious tone.

The driver thought that Vincent and the girl were together and did not give much thought to it. He did not ask where they were going and just stepped on the accelerator.

Vincent looked at the girl and blinked his eyes in confusion.

Whether he admitted it or not, the girl was not bad-looking.

She had blonde curly hair, a sweet face, and large breasts. She was about 1.6 meters tall, and her legs were nearly one meter long.

She was wearing a sports-themed short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt. Although it was loose-fitting, it was not able to hide her excellent figure.

"I'm really sorry. Someone is chasing me."

The girl patted her chest, and her large breasts trembled.

She stuck out her tongue at Vincent with a face full of embarrassment.

"It's okay."

Naturally, Vincent would not argue with a girl, what more, such a beautiful girl.

"Are you also a student of Quinn High School?"

The girl sized up Vincent and asked with a smile.

Vincent was stunned for a moment. He had originally planned to ask the girl where she was going since they were both sitting in the same car. He would then give her a ride to her destination.

However, he did not expect the girl to ask him first. She even managed to get it right in one sentence.

"How do you know? I wasn't showing any signs that I was from Quinn School!"

Vincent asked curiously.

He was curious about how the girl was able to guess where he was going.

"Hehe!"

The girl smiled mysteriously and patted the back of the taxi driver.

"Send us to the main campus of the Quinn high-level superpowered school. Thank you."

The Quinn School had a total of six campuses in Blazing City. If you mentioned the Quinn School, the driver would send you to any campus.

"Are you going to Quinn High School too?"

Vincent looked surprised.

There was still a full month before the start of a new term at Quinn School. There was only one kind of person who could come to Quinn School at this time.

Special enrollment!

This girl was actually a superpower user who had awakened an S-Class superpower!

"Hello! I'm the one who wants to meet you!"

The girl extended her jade-white right hand gracefully towards Vincent.

"My name is Angelina Gaia. I'm a special enrollment student of the Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers, class of 2021!"

"What's your name?" she asked.

Vincent extended his hand and shook Angelina's hand gently. "Vincent Amore," he answered.

The two of them then began to chat.

In the vast sea of people, to be able to meet a classmate was a great thing for both of them.

As they dived deeper into the conversation, Angelina was shocked by Vincent's erudition.

They talked about the past and the present.

The two-hour journey passed by them unknowingly.

The two of them then got out of the car. Angelina felt like she was not done with the conversation yet.

Thanks to Vincent's explanation, she managed to recall many things that she could not remember back in the past.

Deep and simple, interesting and vivid!

When a question was asked, ten answers were received; they were concise and to the point!

Angelina felt extremely happy to chat with Vincent.

Before the black hole appeared, the Quinn school was one of the most powerful schools in Falcon Nation. Every year, it sends a large number of talented individuals all over the country.

After the black hole appeared, superpowers were awakened. The Quinn school continued to nurture strong individuals.

9.99% of the people who graduated were fought over by various factions.

Vincent and Angelina stood at the front gate of the Main School of Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers.

The gate was carved out of an entire piece of psionic ore. It was filled with brilliant colors and was extremely beautiful.

The total area of the campus was close to 100,000 square kilometers, and it was as high as 20,000 square kilometers.

There were all kinds of facilities inside. There was nothing that could not be imagined; there was nothing that the Quinn School did not have.

It was definitely not an exaggeration to describe the place as majestic.

Vincent stood at the gate. This was the place that he would be living in for the next four years. His heart was suddenly filled with endless heroic feelings.

He looked at the words on the door. It said, 'Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers'.

"Vincent! Don't look!"

Angelina stopped Vincent hastily, her face full of panic.

"Why?"

Vincent looked at Angelina with his face full of curiosity.

"These words were written by an overlord-class superpowered person. It has a very strong aura. With our cultivation level, we will be injured."

Angelina looked as if she still had a lingering fear.

"Overlord-level superpowered person?"

Vincent had a yearning in his heart.

"One day, I will also reach this realm. It won't be too far away," Vincent thought to himself.

The two of them walked into the main gate of Quinn.

The campus environment was beautiful, and the arrangement of the flowers and plants was orderly.

After a few turns, they arrived at the registration area for the new students.

Vincent looked at Angelina, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"You seem to be very familiar with Quinn?"

"I've been...," Angelina said and paused for a moment.

"I've been coming to the school to play since I was young, so of course I'm very familiar with it!"

"Hehe!"

Vincent did not question Angelina on why she paused mid-sentence.

"The two of you are this year's special students, right?"

The teacher at the registration counter was a bald, burly man. His face was full of muscles, but his gaze was very kind. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Give me your identity cards," he said.

Vincent and Angelina handed over their identity cards.

The teacher at the registration counter took out a device that was the size of a cigarette box and swiped it.

The device produced two black metal cards instantaneously.

"Alright, this is your student ID. You must keep it well."

"This will be the only proof of your identity while you are studying in Quinn. You will need to use it for everything."

"This will record your credits, points, identity information, and other relevant information."

Vincent took the student ID and looked at it curiously.

There were only three pieces of information on it: name, his level, and the name of the branch.

"Student Vincent has been assigned to the Elemental School, while student Angelina has been assigned to the Special School."

Other than the main school, there were five branches in the Quinn School, namely the Elemental School, the Special School, the Auxiliary School, the Control School, and the Combat School.

The Combat School mainly taught agility-type and assault-type powers.

"There are search machines everywhere in the school. All you need to do is swipe your student ID card, and you'll be able to know more information."

The teacher continued explaining but was interrupted by Angelina.

"Alright! Teacher, we know! I'm very familiar with Quinn. I'll tell Vincent the rest."

She then pulled Vincent and started to run.

The teacher was stunned by Angelina's actions. It took him quite a while to react.

He had been in the reporting office for many years, but this was the first time he did not have a chance to finish explaining.

When he came back to his senses, Vincent and Angelina were already far away.

"Where have I seen this girl before?"

The teacher at the registration office showed a thoughtful expression and did not react for a long time.

Vincent was pulled by Angelina and they both ran to a search machine.

He used his student ID to swipe at it, and all the information was revealed.

"Only 10 points?"

Vincent turned his head and asked Angelina.

"Yes, the initial points were only 10 points, and this was the special treatment for special students. Those who were sent or admitted only had 3 points."

"Points will be obtained through completing school missions and participating in various competitions. The number of points is uncertain."

Angelina began to explain to Vincent.

"Do you see that tower?"

Angelina pointed to the tallest building. "That is the trial tower. For every floor you pass, you will receive points based on your completion rate."

"The completion rate is divided into three levels: completion rate, excellent rate, and perfect rate. You will receive a maximum of five points."

"Points are the only currency of Quinn. No matter what you do, you will need points."

"Of course, points can also be exchanged for psionic coins. It's just that no one would ever do such a stupid thing."

Vincent had a more comprehensive understanding of Quinn School.

Chapter 13

"As a specially recruited student, the dormitories have already been allocated. However, you will still need to wait for the official start of the semester."

As Angelina spoke, she pulled Vincent and walked towards the direction of the dormitories.

"The dormitories are located all together. This is the same for the other schools. Our dormitories are close to one another."

Only when they arrived at the dormitories did Angelina realize that she was actually holding Vincent's hand the whole time. Her beautiful face turned slightly red.

"You live in dormitory No. 9, and I live in dormitory No. 8."

Angelina coughed lightly to cover up the awkwardness. She then pointed at the two two-story villas.

Vincent looked at the small villas in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

"It was indeed worthy of being in one of the three high-level superpowers schools. The student dormitories were all villa-level," he thought to himself.

If this was in Ellis City, it would have cost at least six million.

However, in Quinn, there were a total of 100 of those villas.

In fact, staying in a villa was a treatment that only specially recruited students could receive.

"The dormitories are for two people. I don't know if my roommates are here or not."

Angelina turned to look at Vincent.

"Wait for me to tidy up my room. I'll come to hang out with you after!" 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Although they had only known each other for a few hours, the two of them chatted happily and had almost endless topics to chat about.

This made Angelina have a close attachment to Vincent.

Vincent agreed with Angelina's proposal. He nodded and walked towards the dormitory.

"Wait!"

Angelina called out to Vincent.

"Add me on WhatsApp, it'll be easier for us to contact each other."

A minute later, the two of them separated. Vincent used his student ID to unlock the door.

Beep!

The door lock beeped, and slowly opened.

Vincent walked into the villa and was amazed.

Furniture such as the sofa, television, coffee table, and other living facilities were all available.

The stairs were on the right side. It was located close to the wall. If someone wanted to go upstairs, they had to walk through the entire hall.

There were two rooms. Both were located on the second floor.

Each room was equipped with a training room, recreation room, bathroom, and other facilities.

After walking around the room, Vincent nodded in satisfaction.

It was clear that Quinn had really pushed the logistics to the extreme in order to allow every student to be free from the secular world, and to only focus on training.

Vincent chose his room at random. He then placed his things and walked straight into the training room.

The training room was made using psionic ores and alloys to create an excellent soundproof effect. It was enough to withstand a full-strength blow from a lord-class superpower user.

Unlike the other rooms, the training room required the student ID and was 1 point per day.

On one hand, it was to prevent students from being disturbed whilst they were training.

On the other hand, it was to also urge students to train hard and earn points.

The higher the cultivation, the more points received.

In the training room, Vincent stood ten meters away from the target.

With a flip of his right hand, Hellfire appeared in his palm.

It turned into an arrow according to his will.

Dong!

The Hellfire Arrow hit the target and immediately exploded. Vincent frowned slightly.

It was supposed to hit the bull's-eye but missed.

It was naturally a hit from such a range.

However, it was just not accurate.

Previously, in Ellis City, Vincent had tested it. At that time however, as he did not have any professional equipment, he did not know that it was actually a problem.

Once he used the professional equipment, this issue was instantly magnified.

"How can there be such a huge difference?"

Vincent frowned and pondered.

Although he had expected to have some kind of deviation, such a huge deviation was unacceptable to him.

This was still a target that could not be hit. If it was a battle against a monster, it would be a fatal problem.

Ten minutes later, Vincent condensed another arrow.

He practiced over and over again, constantly adjusting. Two hours had passed him unknowingly.

At the same time, his doorbell was ringing for more than ten minutes.

Angelina stood at the door, somewhat at a loss. She immediately took out her phone.

Vincent was only practicing his ability to control and was not training. As such, he did not mute his phone.

His phone notification sounded, and Vincent stopped practicing.

Although he had only practiced for two hours, it made him sweat profusely.

However, the results were remarkable. He was able to hit the bull's-eye every time.

It was much better than the practice in Ellis City.

He walked downstairs and opened the door.

"I'm sorry, Angelina. I was training just now."

Vincent was apologetic.

"Vincent, you really are a training maniac!"

Angelina looked helpless.

At the same time, she felt a little ashamed. Her attitude towards training was extremely slow as compared to Vincent.

"It's almost noon. I thought of having lunch together. After lunch, we can explore the school so you can familiarize yourself with the school."

Angelina stretched her body, revealing her flat stomach.

Vincent thought that since he was going to live here for four years, there was no harm in familiarizing himself with the place. He agreed to Angelina's proposal.

"No problem, but you have to wait for me. I'm going to take a shower."

Vincent tugged at his clothes that were soaked in sweat.

After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.

Angelina followed behind Vincent, looking around curiously.

Although every villa was the same, she was very curious about Vincent.

Ten minutes later.

After washing away his sweat, Vincent felt refreshed.

He was reaching for his clothes when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to take a spare change of clothes.

He then remembered that after he entered the dormitory, he immediately started training, and his clothes were still in the luggage outside.

In order to not draw any attention to himself, he deliberately did not put his clothes in his storage ring.

He did not expect to encounter such an awkward situation.

After hesitating for a long time, Vincent finally opened his mouth in embarrassment.

"An... Angelina! Can you help me take my clothes? They are in my luggage."

It was really too awkward.

It felt as if he was luring an ignorant girl.

Angelina was also stunned when she heard Vincent's words.

It took her a long time to react.

"Ah! Oh! Okay!"

Although she was not a stickler for small details, she did take notice of the surroundings whilst she was there.

In fact, she had noticed that Vincent did not unpack his things.

Everything in the room was still the same as before, except for the extra luggage by the bed.

Vincent stood by the bathroom door and waited quietly.

After a short while, Angelina's fair arms reached in.

Not only did she bring him a jacket and pants, she also brought him a pair of underwear.

"I just grabbed it at random. You can wear it first, then come out to change."

Her tone was still free and easy as usual, but her slightly trembling voice showed that she was nervous.

Vincent did not answer. He grabbed the clothes quickly and accidentally touched the back of Angelina's hand.

Angelina instinctively withdrew her arm.

The jacket that Vincent did not have time to grab fell to the ground.

After more than ten minutes, Vincent changed his clothes and walked out of his room. He found Angelina sitting on the sofa in the hall very nervously.

When her eyes met Vincent's, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she turned her head away.

"So handsome," Angelina thought to herself.

Vincent was naturally very handsome and had a heroic figure.

Moreover, as he had just finished showering, his entire body was exuding a faint languid air.

It pierced through Angelina's heart directly.

Vincent looked at Angelina's flushed pretty face and was a little infatuated, but he immediately woke himself up.

Even though he had seen many beautiful women, he was still stunned by Angelina's appearance.

"Ahem, let's go."

Vincent shook the water droplets off his head and coughed lightly.

"Okay."

Angelina nodded. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

The two got up and were about to open the door when the door opened from the outside.

Chapter 14

Superpower Training Room

A teenager who had distinct facial features and a slightly wooden expression pushed his luggage into the dormitory.

He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that was as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle.

As he entered, he saw Vincent's wet hair and Angelina's blushing face.

He already had on a slightly wooden expression. He then became even more stunned.

Although Angelina had a straightforward personality, she still lowered her head shyly after being caught in such an ambiguous situation.

Vincent broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Hello, my name is Vincent. Are you my roommate?"

The teenager nodded. "My name is Nabil. Nice to meet you."

"Are you guys going out? Am I disturbing you?"

After hearing Nabil's words, Angelina just wanted to crawl into a hole to hide.

Vincent also did not expect Nabil to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Of course not. We were just about to leave. Do you want to come along?"

"No," Nabil replied whilst glancing at his box. "I still have things to unpack."

He then took a few steps back and gave way to Vincent and Angelina.

Nabil looked at Vincent and Angelina with envy.

"Look at them, this is what a school should be like!"

He shook his head, entered the house, and closed the door.

The trees on both sides shaded the stone path of the school.

Vincent and Angelina walked side by side, neither of them saying anything.

However, it could be observed that the situation earlier had helped to improve their relationship quite a bit.

In the restaurant, the two of them sat opposite each other.

The food was delicious. Vincent's appetite increased after seeing all the delicious food. After all, he had been practicing his superpower and was a little hungry.

The most important thing of all was that the meals for the specially recruited students were free.

This was undoubtedly good news for him as he was broke.

The food was delicious, and it was free.

Angelina initially wanted to chat with Vincent; however, when she saw Vincent eating so much, she swallowed her words.

She had no choice. Even if she spoke up, he might not be able to hear her.

Angelina was a little helpless.

"BURP!"

Vincent put down his cutleries and burped in satisfaction.

The food in Quinn was too delicious.

There was also a lot of monster meat.

The meat was delicious. However, the most important thing was that it actually contained a trace of psionic power.

It felt like a custom-made meal for Vincent.

A plate of monster meat cost thousands of psionic power coins outside.

However, he was able to eat monster meat until he was full in school.

Vincent felt extremely blissful.

"Are you full?"

Vincent looked at the food left on Angelina's plate across from him curiously.

Angelina nodded.

These foods were normal to her. Although the taste was better, she still did not eat much.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see the superpower training room that is exclusive to the school."

Angelina stood up.

"Superpower training room? What's that?"

Vincent did not understand. It was unfamiliar to him.

"In simple words, it's basically a place where combat power can be trained."

The two walked out of the restaurant side by side and Angelina continued to explain to Vincent.

The superpower room was similar to the training room in the dormitory.

It was just that it was more powerful and comprehensive.

The most vital thing was that it could simulate combat scenes under different gravity.

This was important because the gravity field in each black hole was different and would change from time to time.

This simulation training allowed the Espers to adapt and have the ability to fight in the black hole.

The superpower training room was open all day long, and one could easily use it by paying points.

As a special student, Vincent had 24 hours of free usage every month.

After that, he had to pay points, 1 point for one hour. 𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮

When Vincent heard Angelina's explanation, his eyes lit up.

He looked very interested.

Angelina looked at Vincent and had guessed that he would be.

The superpower training room occupied nearly half of the area in the main school.

It was a five-storey building that was built using psionic ores. There were no fancy or magnificent decorations. Its design was simple.

There was a superpowered teacher guarding the door. The teacher was responsible for registering the students who entered and exited the room.

After Vincent and Angelina finished registering, they walked into the superpower training room.

They entered a long corridor, with two rows of psionic ore and alloy doors.

There were lights that looked like traffic lights on the doors.

The red light meant that it was occupied, while the green light meant that it was free to use.

As long as the room was free to use, they could enter it.

The room was large enough to accommodate seven people.

Just as Angelina was about to go in with Vincent to train, the phone in her pocket rang.

"Sister! It's over, it's over! I forgot that I came to school today!"

For the first time, Angelina appeared very flustered in front of Vincent.

"That! Vincent, I'm leaving first! I'll contact you again!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran. Vincent did not have any time to say goodbye.

Vincent looked at Angelina's back, shook his head, and closed the training room door.

According to the gatekeeper's instructions, when the gravity was doubled, Vincent could feel his body sinking.

The sudden pressure made his legs bend.

"Such a huge effect!"

Vincent was a little surprised.

Although the doubled gravity was not much, it was applied suddenly to Vincent's body, making him feel somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, he had worked hard to train his body since he was young. After awakening his superpower, his body became stronger in all aspects. Therefore, it did not take long for him to adapt to it.

However, just as he was getting used to the gravity, he felt a sudden force under his feet.

Without realizing, he flew upwards.

If not for his strong body coordination, his center of gravity would have been adjusted immediately, and he would have collapsed directly onto the ground.

"What a sudden change!"

Vincent stood on the ground with lingering fear.

The sudden change in the gravity field frightened Vincent.

It was difficult enough to adapt to the sudden change in gravity. It would be even more difficult to fight in such a situation.

Vincent only took an hour to adapt to the change in gravity.

Even a genius would have needed a full day to get used to gravity for the first time.

However, Vincent was still not satisfied with his progress.

He took out his saber and began to practice the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Gravity changed from time to time, increasing the difficulty of his practice exponentially.

However, he enjoyed it as he could feel that his proficiency in Collapsing Mountain Strike was increasing.

When he felt that his proficiency in the Collapsing Mountain Strike was no longer increasing, he kept his saber and began to practice his psionic control.

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, five hours had passed.

Vincent walked out of the superpower training room with his back drenched in sweat.

When the gatekeeper saw Vincent walk out, his eyes were filled with admiration and surprise.

He admired Vincent as Vincent had just reported for special enrollment and was so hardworking.

He was surprised that Vincent could stay in the superpower training room for an entire afternoon.

Many senior students could not even have done what Vincent did.

When he arrived at the resting area, Vincent sat down on the massage chair. He felt as if his body was no longer his.

He had gained a lot after an afternoon of training. The compression of his psionic power had increased greatly.

The proficiency of his Collapsing Mountain Strike had also increased by almost 10%.

The pleasure of becoming powerful made him feel very comfortable.

At the same time, he realized how ridiculous he was to have recklessly gone out to fight monsters when he was in Ellis City, thinking that monsters were nothing more.

Fortunately, he had an S-Class superpower. Therefore, he only had to rely on Hellfire to defeat the monsters.

If it had been a slightly stronger monster, he would not even have known how he died.

After half an hour, Vincent felt a little better and went back to the dormitory.

Chapter 15

When Vincent returned to his dormitory, he did not see his roommate, Nabil. He did not think much about it and walked to his room.

Just as he pushed the door open and was about to enter, he heard a loud noise behind him.

Boom!

Vincent shuddered and felt that the room was trembling.

He turned around quickly and saw that Nabil's room was emitting black smoke through the crack in his door.

The door opened and a stream of black smoke gushed out.

A pitch-black figure emerged slowly from the black smoke.

Vincent looked over and saw Nabil.

Nabil was pitch-black and his clothes were tattered. Only the lenses behind his glasses were still in their original state.

When he saw Vincent, he smiled awkwardly and exhaled a mouthful of black smoke.

Vincent realized that Nabil's figure was actually very thin. He looked as if he was malnourished.

Given that he was specially recruited, he must have awakened an S-Class superpower.

For someone who had awakened an S-Class superpower, how could his physical fitness not be good?

However, when he saw Nabil, Vincent was dumbfounded. He did not know what the problem was.

"My friend, do you need help?"

Vincent looked at Nabil's expression and asked worriedly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It's okay. The refinement of the Lingwu failed."

Nabil waved his hand and did not seem to mind. Clearly, this was not the first time such a situation had occurred.

"The refinement of the Lingwu? Are you an equipment master?"

Vincent's face was full of curiosity and surprise.

An equipment master was someone who specialized in making equipment that was used by superpowered people. They had very high statuses.

As they required extremely high talent and spiritual power, equipment masters were extremely rare. Every single one of them was worshiped and well-respected by the stars.

"No, no, no!"

Nabil waved his hands in a hurried motion. He then gave an honest smile and scratched the back of his head with his right hand.

"I just want to become an equipment master."

He turned around and looked at the room that was still smoking. "But I don't seem to have any talent."

"Uh... it's probably because of the materials."

Vincent could only persuade him in this way.

"Are you sure you don't need help?"

"Thank you, Vincent. No worries, it's a small problem. I can handle it."

"Okay then! Rest early."

After Vincent said that, he walked into his room.

"Oh right! Vincent, your girlfriend came over not long ago. She looked very aggressive."

Nabil remembered suddenly and said it quickly to Vincent.

"Did you eat everything? Hehe!"

Vincent staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He glanced at Nabil in annoyance and immediately closed the door.

He thought that Nabil was a simple and honest guy, but he turned out to be a boring guy.

Vincent guessed that the girl mentioned by Nabil was probably Angelina.

Angelina was an optimistic person by nature. She was also valiant.

They were both in a happy mood when they separated. Why would she be aggressive?

Although he was confused, he did not give it much thought.

The afternoon spent in the training room had exhausted him.

After taking a shower, he laid down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Boom!

Vincent, who was sleeping, was awakened by a loud bang.

At first he thought that Nabil had failed to refine the equipment again.

However, a sense of crisis came over him. He instinctively got off the bed and raised his hand, sending a ball of Hellfire.

PFFT!

His bed was hit, leaving the bed clean.

"Angelina? You..."

Vincent looked at the broken door and was about to ask what was going on.

However, before he could finish, Angelina launched another attack.

"Hey! What's wrong?"

Vincent's face was cold.

Anyone would be angry if someone broke into their room in the morning and attacked them.

Although Vincent was angry in his heart, he did not attack because they were friends.

The main reason was because he was afraid of hurting Angelina.

Angelina did not answer Vincent. She continued to attack him.

Hands, feet, elbows, knees…

She used every part of her body to the extreme. Her attack speed became faster and faster. In the end, there were afterimages.

After dodging her attacks three times in a row, Vincent was also angry.

"Good! Since you want to fight, I'll accompany you!"

Vincent did not use his superpower. He only used his fists and legs to fight.

Vincent did not think that he would lose to Angelina even if he was just using his fists and legs.

After yesterday's practice in the superpower training room, Vincent's control of his body had improved even further.

After a few rounds, the two sides were evenly matched.

Vincent never expected that Angelina's combat strength would be so strong.

"Arc Light Slash!"

Angelina used her hands as an ax and activated her combat technique. A half-moon white air blade slashed towards Vincent's shoulder.

Vincent did not dodge. Using his hand as a blade, he directly executed the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Angelina saw Vincent's attack and was a little surprised.

She did not expect Vincent to have trained his battle technique to the point where he could use it without any weapons.

Moreover, she was the first to attack. This proved that Vincent's mastery of battle techniques was far above hers.

The two attacks collided in the air.

Angelina's Arc Light Slash was shattered by the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

The Collapsing Mountain Strike's momentum did not decrease. Although the light had dimmed quite a bit, it was clear that it still had lethality.

Angelina crossed her arms and shouted in a low voice, "As firm as a rock!"

A Giant Rock Phantom appeared in front of her, blocking her entire body.

Dong!

The Collapsing Mountain Strike collided with the Giant Rock Phantom.

Two against two!

The Giant Rock Phantom broke into pieces and disappeared.

The Collapsing Mountain Strike also turned into stars and scattered.

Angelina was obviously not willing to admit defeat. She took a deep breath and released her superpower directly.

A-Class strong offensive superpower, Fury!

She gained ten times her combat power within a minute and was able to use it three times a day.

As he saw Angelina using her superpower, Vincent moved further away to increase the distance between them.

"You're serious! Then don't blame me!"

Vincent stretched out his right hand and suddenly clenched it.

Swoosh!

Angelina, who was about to launch an attack, was immediately bound by the huge net formed by Hellfire.

This time, Angelina's face was filled with surprise, and her pupils contracted into needles.

She could feel the damage that the huge net had caused her.

Even though she had ten times the combat strength of Fury, her skin was still burning from the flames of the huge net, causing her to feel a faint pain.

"Hah!"

Angelina immediately broke free from the net of Hellfire.

However, she did not continue to attack.

After seeing Angelina escape from the net, Vincent waved his hand and was about to launch another attack.

At the same time, he realized that his control over Hellfire was still weak.

If Chris knew about this, she would definitely say that he was not human.

There were six stages to using a superpower. Even an S-Class super genius would need at least seven days to reach the intermediate stage.

Furthermore, he also learned how to use his elemental superpower in order to control his superpower.

"That's right. You can use your elemental superpower as a control superpower. You are qualified to be my brother-in-law."

Vincent was stunned when he heard this.

"But you are not allowed to affect my sister's cultivation, or I will kill you."

"Are you crazy?"

Vincent could not understand what was going on.

The girl was stunned by Vincent's words, but she immediately reacted.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"My name is Avril Gaia, Angelina's biological sister."

Chapter 16

His pupils constricted after hearing what Avril had said.

He only heard from Angelina that her sister was coming. He did not even have time to ask her about it.

He did not expect to find her here today.

He also did not expect the two of them to look so similar.

The two were exactly the same.

No wonder Nabil mistook her for Angelina and said that she was aggressive.

It was also obvious that there was a misunderstanding.

However, Vincent could not be bothered to explain his relationship with Angelina.

"Big-breasted brainless woman!"

He did not notice her breasts earlier. However, it was no surprise that she had really nice breasts. After all, she was Angelina's sister.

Avril was instantly enraged.

She was about to make another move, but she realized that she was no match for Vincent.

Instead, she shook her hand angrily and turned to leave.

Vincent did not stop her.

People always say that first impressions were very important.

However, Vincent's first impression of Avril was very bad.

It was very rude of her to break into someone's room early in the morning.

Given her rudeness, why would Vincent be nice to her?

However, he could not deny the fact that Angelina's family seemed quite extraordinary.

After all, Angelina had an S-Class superpower, and was specially recruited into Quinn.

However, if Avril, who only had an A-Class superpower but was also specially recruited into Quinn, then this would be a problem!

As one of the three high-level superpower schools in Falcon Country, Quinn should not specially recruit someone just because of their connections.

Avril was obviously not of a simple character either.

For a family to produce such an extraordinary pair of sisters, it was obvious that they had deep roots.

However, none of this had anything to do with Vincent.

After reporting to the dormitory teacher and explaining the condition of his damaged room, he headed to the superpower training room.

His practice the day before had made him fall in love with the feeling of training in the superpower training room.

At the same time, in Villa Number 8, Angelina was wearing a pure white dress and was eating breakfast at the dining table.

"Sister, you're back! It's so early in the morning, where did you go?"

Avril sat opposite Angelina and picked up a slice of bread.

"I've tested your boyfriend, he's not bad."

Although Avril appeared very calm, she was actually very surprised in her heart.

She had always thought that she would be the strongest amongst the new students.

She did not expect that a freak like Vincent would appear.

He was much stronger than her in every aspect. If someone wanted to say that he was weaker in any aspect, they had to be on the same level as him.

The apprentice level was too low.

However, on second thought, Vincent was only at the apprentice level and he had already beaten a beginner like her.

If they were at the same level, would she not have been completely crushed?

The more Avril thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She put down her bread and walked towards the training room.

Angelina did not know what Avril was thinking.

She picked up her milk and drank it. However, when she heard Avril had tested Vincent, she immediately spat the milk out.

"What? Did! You went to find Vincent?" 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢

"How can you do this! He's only a beginner!"

"No! I have to go take a look. Don't get hurt!"

After saying that, she stood up and ran towards the door.

Avril, who had just gone up the stairs, staggered.

He was only a beginner!

He spoke human language!

A beginner defeated another beginner!

Avril felt her heart ache. She was angered by Angelina.

"Come back! He's fine!"

Avril shouted in a low voice.

Angelina was extremely afraid of her sister. She stopped quickly.

There was nothing she could do. If it was anybody else, he or she would not be able to endure being forced to train every day!

"Is he really fine?"

Angelina asked timidly.

"Something's not right! With your personality, if you win, you won't let him off so easily."

Angelina then went into a deep thought.

"Oh! I got it! Hehe!" Angelina looked at Avril with ill intentions.

Avril felt awkward and glared at Angelina.

"Draw! Draw!"

Avril felt ashamed. However, in order to maintain her image, she ignored her comment.

Avril went into the training room.

"I think you're too relaxed. After three days, you should go to the wilderness for special training!"

"These three days, you better train well. You're not allowed to leave the dormitory for even half a step!"

Angelina heard Avril's words and let out a wail.

In the training room, Ariel's face was filled with shame and anger. Her fists were tightly clenched.

The more she thought about the battle with Vincent, the angrier she became. She could not calm herself down.

"Vincent! Just you wait!"

"I'll definitely return! Definitely!"

With strong emotions, she began to perform her combat techniques over and over again.

The combat techniques hit the target, and the sounds of slapping rang out. It was as if every strike had hit Vincent.

On the other side, in the superpower training room, Vincent, who was practicing his psionic ability control, sneezed.

"Strange, did I catch a cold?"

Shaking his head, he continued to practice.

In the superpower training room, Vincent discovered that it had a miraculous effect on his psionic ability control.

Due to the irregular changes in gravity, the Hellfire that was formed a second ago would disperse in the next second.

It was extremely taxing on a person's mind; one would not be able to maintain its form even if he or she was fully focused.

If someone was even slightly distracted, he or she would not be able to condense it.

However, in actual combat, due to various factors, he would not be able to condense his powers even with full concentration.

In the superpower training room, the gravity was only two times.

On the other hand, records have shown that the gravity inside the black hole could change up to a hundred times and was still disorderly.

In one second, it could be three times gravity, and the next second, it would increase to ten times instead.

Although the superpower training room could roughly simulate the battle inside a black hole, it was still fundamentally different from a real black hole.

If he could not even get used to two times gravity in an orderly manner, how could he get used to the gravity that was four times, six times or even eight times the original... What should he do?

If he entered a black hole, he would not even know how he died!

Vincent could not think of any good solutions for this.

Therefore, he used the most primitive method, running while condensing his psionic ability.

He did not stop until noon. In the end, he collapsed in the superpower training room.

Lying on his back, he panted heavily, his chest heaving up and down violently.

However, he had a happy smile on his face as he had found that feeling.

Although he was not successful at condensing it, there was still progress.

It was only a matter of time before he figured it out.

Just like that, Vincent had spent three days practicing.

The three days were very fulfilling for him. It was as if he only lived in the dormitory and superpower training room.

He was able to condense his superpower freely in an environment with twice the gravity and was completely undisturbed.

To anyone, this would be inconceivable.

Ever since Quinn founded the school, no one had been able to reach this level in such a short period of time.

However, Vincent was still not satisfied with his speed.

Too slow!

In Ellis City, he was a genius and was able to look down on other heroes, but in a place like Quinn's Advanced School of Superpowers where almost everyone was a genius, he felt like he did not have the qualifications.

However, he knew that his progress would be much slower if he stayed behind closed doors. He then decided to go into the wild to train.

Just as he was packing his things, his cell phone rang.

It was Chris.

Chapter 17

"Hi! Vincent, how have you been recently?" Chris asked.

Vincent was delighted.

His cultivation speed had been slow recently, and he was looking for someone for advice.

Coincidentally, Chris called him.

"Not bad, but I am having some problems with my cultivation."

"I see! It just so happens that I am currently on campus. I'll go look for you in the dormitory now."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

They then hung up the phone.

Vincent was waiting for about ten minutes when the doorbell rang.

"Teacher Chris, please come in."

Chris did not have on professional clothes.

Her hair was untidy. She wore a white shirt, jeans, and white sports shoes.

She was lively when she saw Vincent.

"Are you the only one in the dorm?"

Chris casually asked Vincent whilst sitting on the sofa. She looked around.

"I have a roommate named Nabil. He went out."

Vincent poured Chris a glass of water.

"Oh! It's him!"

Chris nodded. She knew who he was.

As she was a special recruitment teacher for Quinn, she had an opinion of every student that had been recruited.

Whilst drinking water, Chris sized up Vincent. "You've improved quite a bit recently!"

"You actually go to the superpower training room every day."

"Let me see your growth first."

Vincent nodded and proceeded to summon Hellfire.

Chris watched. He started off slowly and the fire shrunk. It then became two times bigger than a shot put.

Chris looked at the Hellfire in Vincent's hand and revealed a surprised expression.

In such a short amount of time, Vincent had accomplished so much. Although Chris had met a large number of geniuses, she would have assumed that Vincent was a monster.

She thought that he was at his limit.

However, what happened next made her wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes.

The Hellfire in Vincent's hand slowly began to change its shape.

It occasionally transformed into an arrow and a machete.

"Teacher Chris, this is the best I can do."

Vincent looked at the Hellfire fireball in his hand and revealed an awkward expression.

"Only, only!"

Chris almost choked to death by Vincent's words.

He was able to compress his superpower to such an extent and even changed its shape.

He was not just similar to a monster.

He was a monster!

Although she was extremely shocked, Chris showed a calm expression.

On one hand, she was afraid that Vincent would become arrogant and complacent.

On the other hand, she, as a teacher, could not show her ignorance in front of her students.

She had to maintain the demeanor of a teacher.

"Hmm, not bad. It seems like you haven't been slacking off during this period of time."

Chris nodded in agreement. "You still need to work hard, but you have to learn how to combine work and rest."

"I understand. Thank you, teacher Chris."

Vincent expressed his gratitude and asked Chris a question.

After hearing Vincent's question, Chris suddenly stood up. Her huge breasts were trembling because she got up too fast.

She took a deep breath. Her clothes lifted up, and revealed her flat, fair abdomen and slim waist.

"Are you saying that you've completely adapted to double gravity?"

Chris could not maintain her composure anymore.

How long had he been exposed to gravity this time?

Five days!

He had completely adapted to the double gravity. He even managed to stabilize his superpower in such an unstable situation.

No one had been able to adapt to the gravity within such a short period of time in the history of Quinn school.

"Yes, teacher Chris. I can already fight under double gravity."

Vincent looked at the complicated expression on Chris's face and was puzzled. "Is there a problem?" he asked. 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Chris then realized that she had lost her composure. She coughed lightly and sat down again.

"It's nothing. As for the problem you mentioned, it's because you still haven't figured out what a superpower is."

"A superpower is the energy in your body. It's a part of you!"

"You should try to not focus on how the superpower should be used or how to make it stronger. Instead, you should focus on becoming stronger yourself."

When Vincent heard Chris's words, his eyes lit up brightly.

He had grasped the key!

It turned out that he had been doing it wrong all along.

In the past, he was focused on how to make his superpower stronger. However, he had forgotten that he was still human in the end.

If he died, no matter how strong his power was, it would be meaningless.

Chris did not disturb Vincent after seeing that he was deep in thought.

Instead, she looked at Vincent curiously.

She was very curious about Vincent's thoughts.

After all, he was an extremely abnormal and monstrous genius!

As a teacher of the three high-level superpower schools in Falcon Country, she had seen many geniuses. However, they could not be compared to Vincent.

Vincent had a tenacity that ordinary people did not have. In Chris's opinion, Vincent had fulfilled all the conditions to become a strong person.

It was just a matter of time before he became a strong person.

Chris was still thinking whilst Vincent closed his eyes.

The Hellfire in his palm gradually stabilized. In the end, it did not have any destructive power at all.

Chris looked at Vincent after sensing the Hellfire in his palm and was dumbfounded.

It was as if an extremely ferocious and evil monster had been tamed like a docile pet.

Vincent opened his eyes suddenly as if something had appeared in front of him.

Chris looked at the docile eyes and slowly sank into them.

"Teacher Chris, I understand. Thank you!"

Vincent's words woke Chris up.

As he spoke, the fireball in his hand suddenly shrunk and became smaller in size. The size was similar to a shot put.

Superpower usage, psionic ability control, advanced level!

Chris had forgotten to speak. She was speechless.

She was too shocked by Vincent. She was so shocked that she thought that anything she said would have been superfluous.

Being able to compress his superpower into the size of a shot put would reduce its consumption by 40%.

This meant that Vincent's combat strength had increased by 1.5 times!

This was a realm that many high-level superpower users could comprehend.

As for Vincent, he had comprehended it at just an apprentice level.

No one knew how much he could grow in the future.

"It's good that you understand. This is because you have a strong comprehension ability. I'm just giving you some pointers."

Chris tried her best to calm herself down and speak as calmly as possible.

"But I'm still grateful for my teacher's pointers. Otherwise, I might still need a long time to figure it out."

Vincent bowed down deeply to Chris. He then stood up and said with a frown, "However, I feel like I still needed another day or so to truly master this state."

Chris looked away from Vincent.

She was really afraid that Vincent could see the hidden bitterness in her eyes.

One day's time!

Even if he figured it out, the other S-Class students would still need a month's time!

It was simply inhuman that he thought a day's time was too slow.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Vincent saw Chris looking away and was puzzled.

"It's nothing. A day's time is acceptable."

She did not mean what she said but there was nothing she could do about it.

As he was a genius, she was afraid of his pride; therefore, she still had to strike him down appropriately.

"Any other questions?"

Chris looked at Vincent, her heart lacking confidence.

Chapter 18

"I can't seem to improve the combat technique that I've been practicing. I believe that if I went into the wild to gain some experience, my proficiency would increase and may become full."

Vincent looked at Chris with anticipation.

Every single one of Quinn's students was a favored child of the heavens.

If one wanted to go out, he or she would need a certificate issued by their teacher.

"Yes, I can't remember the combat technique exactly, but proficiency needs to be obtained bit by bit..."

"What? Did you just say that your combat skills are almost full?"

Chris's gaze was dull.

She only became 100% familiar with her combat skills after three years. This was already considered as an extremely high achievement and talent among people of the same age.

However, with Vincent, she felt like she was simply trash.

No! She was not even trash!

She just felt like she needed to leave quickly. If she stayed any longer, she might be beaten to death by Vincent.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to deal with, so I'll be leaving first."

"If there are any problems, call me."

Chris then stood up and left.

"Teacher Chris, I still need your help with the wilderness training!" Vincent said in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll handle it for you later. I'll inform you when it's done."

Vincent heard Chris's answer from the other side of the dormitory door.

Chris let out a long breath after leaving Vincent's dormitory.

Although she felt like she had dealt a blow with Vincent, she was still proud of him in her heart.

Just as she was about to leave, the door of dormitory No. 8 swung open.

Angelina and her sister walked out immediately.

"It's them!"

Chris's pupils suddenly constricted.

As a specially recruited teacher for Quinn, she was extremely familiar with the two sisters.

"That old fellow actually agreed to let his precious granddaughters come to Quinn!"

Chris muttered softly to herself.

Then, she revealed a strange smile.

She was indeed lively this year.

In the afternoon, Vincent was practicing his psionic ability control.

He originally planned to head out into the wilderness today.

However, as he had made new progress mastering his superpower, he put his plan on hold.

Just as he was compressing his superpower to the size of a shot put with ease, his cell phone rang.

"Vincent, I've got permission for you to go on field training." Chris said.

"So fast!"

Vincent was surprised by Chris's efficiency.

"I'll be there right. Thank you again, teacher Chris!" 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Vincent went to Chris's office and saw her busy on her computer.

"Give me your student ID."

Chris took Vincent's student ID and inserted it into a device located at the side.

As the device beeped, she returned the student ID to Vincent.

"Although I allowed you to go out to the wilderness to train, you must know that the wilderness of Blazing City cannot be compared to Ellis City"

Chris instructed Vincent earnestly.

"The lowest level monsters were still at beginner level. There might even be special-class or even lord-class monsters appearing."

"For your safety, I will only allow you to move within a 2,000 meter radius."

"You must be careful!"

His words were filled with concern.

Vincent nodded to show that he understood.

"Take these two bottles of medicine with you."

Chris thought for a moment, and with a sweep of her right hand at her waist, she took out two glass bottles that were the size of mineral water bottles.

Each of them contained at least 20 pills.

"The blue pills are for replenishing stamina, while the green pills are for restoring psionic power."

Vincent looked at the two bottles of pills, his heart was moved.

It was amazing for a specially recruited teacher to have done so much for him.

With his good eye, he could naturally tell that the two bottles of pills were extraordinary.

They were worth at least 100,000 psionic power coins.

"Teacher Chris, this is too expensive."

Vincent rejected the gift quickly.

Chris rolled her eyes at him. "If I ask you to take it, then take it."

"You are a special student of mine and Quinn. It is my duty to protect you."

Vincent knew that the so-called duty was just Chris's excuse, but he did not reveal what he truly thought. He just remembered her kindness in his heart.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Chris smiled after seeing Vincent keeping the pills.

"There's no need to be polite with me. However, it's only this once. After all, I don't have much money."

Vincent just smiled.

Ever since they met, Chris had helped him a lot.

He did not believe that it was the same for every special recruit.

Why was Chris being so nice to him?

The only thing Vincent could think of was that Chris was betting on his future.

On Vincent's future achievements!

However, this of course did not affect his ability to remember Chris's kindness.

Chris then asked him to do something else, and Vincent left.

He walked out of the Quinn School and took a taxi out of the city.

Blazing City was the third largest city in Falcon Country. It guarded two black holes.

Although both of them were relatively low-level, they were still extremely dangerous.

There would be a beast tide inside the black hole every day. Even if a base was built inside the black hole, it was still unable to guarantee the safety of all the superpowered people who went inside it.

For this reason, the Quinn School released a portion of the monsters inside the black hole and kept them within a radius of 100,000 meters around Blazing City. The monsters were used to train their students.

The monsters ranged from beginner to lord-tier and were enough for the students to gain some experience.

However, in order to ensure the paramount safety of the students, the wilderness was treated like a black hole, with many supply points set up.

These supply points were not only available to the students at Quinn, but also to mercenaries.

The so-called mercenaries were superpower users who did not belong to any faction.

They traveled between the cities alone or in groups. They relied on monster-hunting and sold monster bones for a living.

Vincent rushed to the nearest supply point at Blazing City. Even though he was still a hundred meters away, he felt a murderous aura.

Although it was called a supply point, it looked more like a small village.

The shops sold all kinds of medicine, weapons, equipment, monster bones, crystals, and others.

People came and went, and it was very lively.

There were constant patrols on the streets. They were mercenaries, teachers, students from various colleges, and the city guards of Blazing City.

The main purpose was to maintain the safety of the supply point and resolve grudges between superpowered people.

Based on Vincent's understanding, this supply point was known as Bick Town. In addition to the student groups of the Quinn School and other schools, there were also two mercenary groups.

The two mercenary groups had been stationed in Bick Town all year long and were constantly fighting over it.

Fortunately, their fights did not affect the others. Even if they encountered danger in the wild, there was always help available.

The two mercenary groups seemed to have this as an unwritten rule, especially when it came to students.

It was understandable why this was so.

In this world, 99% of the experts guarding the black hole were from the schools.

Protecting the students was equivalent to protecting the safety of this world.

"Please show me your ID."

At the entrance of Bick Town, Vincent was stopped by a middle-aged man in his forties with a cold face. The man had many scars.

Vincent took out his student ID.

The middle-aged man used a portable scanner to scan it.

"You are this year's special enrollment student for Quinn!"

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then his expression became much gentler. However, he still looked frightening.

"You just enrolled and you are daring enough to come to the wild to train. Young Man, you have quite the guts!"

Vincent smiled at him.

The middle-aged man returned the student ID to Vincent.

"My name is Hao Sai, I'm from the HUBIC mercenary group. If you encounter any trouble in the wild, fire a flare. We will help you."

As he spoke, he handed a flare gun to Vincent.

Vincent did not reject Hao Sai's good intentions. He took the flare gun, thanked him, and entered Bick Town.

Chapter 19

Vincent was walking on the road in Bick Town. He looked at the shops left and right. He pondered on whether he should buy more medicine.

He had a lot of medicine in his backpack. There was even some leftover medicine that he had bought from Ellis City.

Plus, Chris had given him some as well, so he had more than enough to use.

"Vincent!"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Vincent turned around and was stunned.

"Are you Angelina or..."

"Of course it's me!"

Angelina was dressed in a purple sportswear and had her hair tied up in a ponytail. She was very neat and tidy.

Initially, when Avril brought her to the wilderness to train, she felt like the world had turned dull.

She had never thought that she would meet Vincent. This made her previous bad mood disappear and she became very happy.

She did not even realize the change in her mentality.

Vincent nodded and revealed a smile.

He really could not tell between the two sisters.

Not only did they look exactly the same, even their voices were the same.

"Why are you alone? Where's that irritable sister of yours?"

Vincent looked around and saw that Angelina was alone, so he asked her curiously.

Angelina pointed behind him.

"Where are you going to choose my weapon?"

Vincent followed the direction Angelina was pointing and saw Avril handing over the money.

Although they had not spent much time together, Vincent was still very familiar with Angelina's personality.

She was extremely curious about everything and treated people well.

However, when it came to things like training, she was very casual and even resistant.

"Your sister has really been worried sick about you!"

Vincent was a little speechless.

Angelina chuckled and did not reply.

"Are you guys also preparing to go out for training?"

Vincent saw Avril walking over with two large machetes in one hand and a psionic gun in the other.

"Sigh! That's right! Sister insisted on me going to the wilderness to train. What a headache."

Angelina's face was full of unwillingness.

Avril shot a cold glance at Vincent, her eyes full of warning.

She threw the psionic gun into Angelina's arms.

"Leave the supply point and follow me."

She then turned around and left.

Vincent looked at Avril. He then looked at the two large machetes in her hands, and shivered.

A cool and beautiful woman with big breasts and long legs could use machetes as weapons!

Furthermore, the two machetes were as tall and wide as a person!

They were so valiant that people were speechless.

Just thinking of the battle using the two machetes, even Vincent felt pity for her monster.

What a miserable death!

Angelina, on the other hand, looked as if she was used to it.

"Vincent, do you want to come with us?"

"It's very dangerous to be alone in the wild. Three people can take care of each other."

Angelina extended an invitation to Vincent. Avril, who had already left, stopped her tracks.

Vincent had too many secrets and was afraid of exposing them. Just as he was about to refuse the invitation, he heard Avril's voice.

"I'm not interested in forming a team with a probationary superpowered person."

"F * ck!"

"I haven't despised you yet, but you're despising me first!"

"Of course, I'm also not interested in forming a team with a big-breasted, brainless person who has low combat ability," Vincent sneered.

"You!"

Avril suddenly turned around. Her face filled with anger.

Angelina looked at the two of them. They were both filled with intense gunpowder and looked like they were about to fight.

She quickly opened her mouth to mediate.

"Sis! Vincent is my friend. He's very strong!" she said.

Although she was mediating, anyone could see that she was biased towards Vincent.

"Vincent, come with us!"

After saying that, Angelina looked at Vincent with anticipation.

Vincent thought about it and rejected her.

"Forget it, I won't follow you."

"You two sisters are used to having someone look after you. I'm used to being alone."

After hearing Vincent's rejection, Avril snorted coldly and looked away.

Vincent completely ignored her. He smiled at Angelina and turned to leave.

Angelina's rejection from Vincent made her current bad mood worse; even the gaze that she gave Avril was not very friendly.

Avril rolled her eyes.

Her sister was really hopeless.

"Let's go. One intermediate monster, three beginner monsters, not one less."

This was the mission she had given Angelina.

In fact, Angelina's talent was much better than hers. After all, she was the person who had awakened an S-Class superpower.

However, she was not interested in training. As such, she had just recently advanced to beginner level, and her combat power was still in the probation level.

It was obvious that her attitude was also a result of her position in the family.

As the youngest child in the family, she had been doted on by everyone since she was young. This caused her to develop an undisciplined attitude towards training.

After passing through Bick Town, Vincent was in the wilderness once again.

The air was fresh, the plants were lush. The birds sang and the flowers were fragrant.

The environment could not be compared to the city.

However, this beautiful place was filled with danger.

After taking a deep breath, Vincent strode out into the wilderness.

There were no monsters within the 50 meter radius. Even if there were, they were all cleared out by the patrol team.

However, 50 meters away, it was different. It was a monster's paradise.

Although the level of the monster that he would meet was not high, it was still a beginner-level monster.

To Vincent, there was still a certain level of danger.

Swoosh!

Vincent chopped off the head of the beginner-level monster, the White-Scaled Lion, 300 meters outside of Bick Town.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the beginner-level monster, the White-Scaled Lion. You have received an upgrade pill."

"Do you want to take it?"

"Yes."

"Ding! You have successfully taken the upgrade pill. Your maximum power has been increased by 3 points."

'Ding! Congratulations to the host for raising your realm to beginner-level superpower user!'

Vincent shook off the blood on his saber and smiled.

He could finally use his power without any worries.

Although he improved greatly in all aspects while training in the school, it was still as refreshing when he was in the wild!

Killing monsters was much faster because of his level.

He became a beginner-level superpower user after only killing one monster.

"Open character panel."

Name: Vincent Amore.

Superpower: Inferno (S-Class Elemental Type), Extreme Speed Training (S-Class support Type), Monster Affinity (S-Class Special Type)

Psionic Ability: 101

Realm: Beginner-level superpower user

Equipment: D-Class Black Battle Saber

Battle skill: Collapsing Mountain Strike

Grade: D-Class combat skill

Proficiency: 83%

"The proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike was already so high? Looks like I'll be able to max it out today!"

Vincent looked at his character interface and was delighted.

He unskillfully took out the crystals from the White-Scaled Lion's head. He then kept the body of the White-Scaled Lion. He could exchange them for psionic coins when he returned to Bick Town. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, Vincent would definitely not do that. The best choice was still to return to Quinn school and exchange it for points.

As for the crystals, Vincent planned to keep them for himself as a memento. It could also be used as preparation for forging his own weapons and equipment in the future.

The White-Scaled Lion was a monster that Vincent felt like he truly obtained. It was rather memorable for him.

Previously, he used Hellfire and it would always burn the monsters to ashes no matter how much Vincent tried to control it.

He had no choice. The power of Hellfire was too great!

As he came out in the afternoon, the sky was already a little dark at this point.

The wild was dangerous at night but Vincent did not plan to go back.

It was rare for him to be able to come out, so he had to fight to his heart's content.

At the same time, he raised his level to beginner level.

However, in the wilderness at night, he had to be 120% alert.

The slightest carelessness would cost him his life.

He advanced cautiously. After a few steps, he heard a rustling sound from the bushes beside him.

Chapter 20

Vincent's eyes narrowed. He tightened the psionic battle saber in his hand and quietly hid behind a huge rock.

Not long after, a calf-sized rat that was covered in blood-red crawled out.

"Vampire Rat!"

Vincent was delighted.

The vampire rat had just advanced to a beginner-level psionic ability user, so it was a good opportunity to practice.

The vampire rat was a beginner-level monster. It was fast, had strong defense, and had high attack power. It was a monster with a bit of intelligence among beginner-level monsters.

Once bitten by it, it would not let go until its blood was drained.

Moreover, once it sensed that its opponent could not resist, it would turn around and run without any hesitation.

This vampire rat was obviously out to hunt for food, and its actions were very cautious.

Vincent also adjusted his breathing. He did not expose himself, and planned to launch a sneak attack on it.

If it was before, Vincent would not have dared to attack a monster like the vampire rat no matter what.

But now, it is different. It had become a beginner-level superpowered person and had the advantage of a sneak attack.

As long as he was careful, killing it wouldn't be a big problem.

Time passed minute by minute. Half an hour later, the vampire rat arrived five meters away from Vincent.

Vincent suddenly attacked, starting with the collapsing mountain strike.

Whoosh!

"Squeak Squeak!"

The vampire rat sensed the danger the moment Vincent attacked, so it directly dodged.

Crash!

The collapsing mountain hit the bushes, causing branches and leaves to fly everywhere.

The vampire rat turned to look at Vincent, his pitch-black eyes filled with fury.

"Squeak Squeak!"

The vampire rat suddenly charged at Vincent like a speeding car.

Vincent did not think that he could kill the vampire rat with just one strike.

Therefore, he did not panic in the face of the vampire rat's attack.

The psionic battle saber was raised horizontally and blocked in front of him.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The vampire rat's teeth collided with the psionic battle saber, emitting a metallic clang.

Vincent only felt his arm go numb, and he turned around to deflect the force.

At the same time, the psionic battle saber was raised, and its target was the vampire rat's front claws.

The vampire rat did not Dodge. It raised its claws and clawed at the psionic battle saber.

Clang!

Vincent's attack was blocked and he retreated.

The Man and the Beast faced each other across space, both looking for the other's weakness.

Vincent's arm was somewhat numb. He thought to himself, what a strong strength.

The vampire rat looked at Vincent with a gaze that gradually became crazy.

"Are you using me as food?"

Vincent was both angry and amused.

He was actually treated as food by the vampire rat.

This meant that in the vampire rat's opinion, Vincent was inferior to it.

Although this was the truth, it made Vincent very unhappy.

With a slash, the psionic battle saber suddenly stabbed towards the vampire rat.

The vampire rat was instantly furious. It was actually attacked by a weak human first.

Its two front claws exerted force, and it actually jumped up directly, crashing towards the psionic battle saber like a cannonball.

From the exchange just now, it could be seen that the psionic battle saber was very difficult to deal damage to the vampire rat.

However, Vincent did not change the way he attacked. Instead, he used even more strength.

Sizzle!

The psionic battle saber slashed onto the vampire rat's body.

"Inferno!" 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢

Vincent suddenly activated his psionic ability.

A black flame suddenly spurted out from the blade, directly igniting the vampire rat.

"Squeak Squeak!"

The vampire rat was extremely terrified. It finally realized that it had miscalculated the strength of the human in front of it.

In the blink of an eye, the vampire rat was burned to death by the purgatory fire.

Just like before, not even ashes were left behind.

"It's a beast after all. Even if it has intelligence, it can't change its nature."

Vincent grinned and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

The only regret was that after using purgatory fire, the vampire rat was burned to the point that not a single hair was left.

Otherwise, just the vampire rat's crystals could be sold for tens of thousands of psi coins.

Although the battle time was very short, Vincent's physical strength could not keep up.

Most importantly, his arms were sore, Numb, and swollen.

The Vampire Rat's defense was really too strong.

It was stronger than all the Monsters Vincent had encountered in the past.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a low-level monster, vampire rat. You have obtained an upgrade pill."

"Do you wish to take it?"

"Yes."

"Ding! You have successfully taken an upgrade pill. Your psionic power limit has increased by 2 points."

After more than half an hour, Vincent finally felt that his arm had recovered a little. He took out the pill that Chris had given him and took one.

Looking at the psionic battle blade that had cracked from the vampire rat's attack, his heart ached a little.

He stood up and continued to explore, searching for monsters.

Just like that, Vincent walked and killed all the way until the Moon Hung High in the sky. Only then did he stop.

Although it had only been a few hours since he had come out, Vincent had gained a lot.

His combat experience had improved greatly, and his mastery of the collapsing mountain had reached 100% .

Even his control of the Inferno fire had become much stronger.

Of course, there were naturally dangers when there were rewards.

Even though this was only the wilderness and was less than 800 meters away from BIC town.

The monsters were abnormally powerful.

The monsters that were able to survive in the vicinity of the supply point had rich battle experience with humans.

For example, the low-level monster ice snake that they had just encountered.

Not only did it know how to spit ice balls, it was also fast. Wherever it passed, it would form a thin layer of frost, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.

It actually knew how to use its own characteristics to encircle Vincent, thus reducing Vincent's speed and then spitting ice balls from afar.

Simply relying on the collapsing mountain strike would not be able to hurt it at all.

Vincent did not want to burn the ice snake until there was not even ash left.

The Hellfire Arrow could not even graze the side.

In the end, there was no other way. Vincent turned the hellfire into a thread and spread it everywhere he could see. Only then did he temporarily restrain it.

Why did he say that temporarily?

Because he only restrained the tail of the frost snake. Seeing that it could not beat Vincent, it actually severed its tail and escaped.

Vincent felt a wave of regret.

However, this had also brought Vincent a lot of experience.

It was far from enough to rely on the destructive power of purgatory fire to fight.

The most important thing was the mastery of psionic ability.

This also allowed him to see the most direct effect of psionic ability control in battle.

Vincent sat under a tree to rest. While he recovered his strength, he was also applying medicine on his wound.

Although his injuries were not serious, there was still the smell of blood. The monsters were most active at night.

If he did not deal with it in time, he might attract some strange monsters.

At that time, if he could not fight at his peak, his life and death would be unknown.

This was his first night in the wilderness, and it felt very strange.

The wilderness at night was very different from the day.

Perhaps it was because of the appearance of the black hole, but the Wild at night was very depressing.

It made people very uneasy.

Vincent knew very well that he had to adapt to this situation as soon as possible.

When he graduates, there will be more and more such situations in the future.

I have to say, the medicine that Chris gave to Vincent was really effective.

After applying it, the wound actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This made Vincent even more grateful to Chris.

If it weren't for her medicine, Vincent might have returned to BIC town long ago.

Just as he was about to eat something and rest, his expression suddenly changed.

A long period of concentration and battle had made him extremely sensitive to the wind and grass around him, and he had a very intuitive sense of danger.

Boom!

Almost at the instant Vincent dodged, a scarlet tongue covered with barbs shot out from the ground.

Chapter 21

Vincent looked at the scarlet tongue and broke out in cold sweat.

If he had just been a little slower or even hesitated a little bit, he would have been pierced through directly.

The scarlet tongue retracted, and everything was silent once again.

Vincent did not believe that the monster that had just ambushed him would give up so easily. It was obvious that it was preparing for its next attack.

He recalled the monster guide and filtered through it in his head.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Underground Lizard! This is a serious problem."

Vincent gulped his saliva.

The Underground Lizard was a beginner-level monster. However, its actual combat strength could be compared to an intermediate monster.

Although its defense was low and its speed was slow, it possessed the ability to move underground, allowing it to appear and disappear mysteriously.

It was difficult to guard the Underground Lizards during the day as it would travel as far as it could.

However, it was nighttime. It was even more impossible to look out for the lizards at this time.

Other than the wind blowing on the leaves, there was no other sound.

Vincent was fully focused and constantly paid attention to the surroundings.

"Left side!"

Vincent sensed danger again and suddenly pounced forward.

"How could it be the left side?"

Vincent was puzzled.

Underground Lizards had always launched attacks from underground. This was an unchanging law.

What kind of trick was this for it to attack from the left?

Dong!

Vincent felt a gust of wind blew past the area that he was in earlier.

Suddenly, a big tree on the right fell to the ground. He saw three people hugging the big tree as the tree fell.

"What?"

Vincent's eyes widened.

A gust of wind managed to break the big tree that the three people were hugging? 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

Even if it killed Vincent, he would not have believed that he died.

It was obvious that this was actually another monster.

It was the same type of monster that could turn invisible at night.

"Color-Changing Rhinoceros!"

Vincent really wanted to leave this time. He wanted to return to Bick Town as soon as possible.

Color-Changing Rhinoceros was an intermediate monster. It had a high defense, high speed, and strong attack power.

It had the ability to change the color of its body and blend into the surrounding environment.

Underground Lizard and the Color-Changing Rhinoceros!

What kind of combination was this?

He had never heard of two completely different monsters cooperating with each other!

It really subverted Vincent's view of the world.

Vincent would not panic if he were to face one of these monsters alone.

This is because even if it was an intermediate-level monster such as the Color-Changing Rhinoceros, they were all the same.

Given his body structure, combat characteristics, and his Hellfire power, Vincent was very confident that one monster would not be able to get close to him.

However, he was facing two monsters at the same time and did not know what to do.

The two ambushing monsters were eyeing him like tigers. Vincent was annoyed.

When Vincent landed, he did not even have the time to stand up as he felt danger coming from below him.

"F*ck!"

Vincent cursed angrily and released Hellfire directly to protect himself.

"Argh!"

A scream came from below.

Although he released Hellfire, Vincent controlled his power.

Therefore, he did not directly burn the Underground Lizard to ashes.

Underground lizards were very precious. Although many were killed by the strong, their corpses were never found.

The strong refused to look for them.

To them, psionic coins were just a number.

A single crystal could be sold for hundreds of thousands of psionic coins regardless of its level.

However, Vincent still planned to get his hands on it.

After all, he was short of money.

Vincent stood up and directed the Hellfire to spread in all directions.

Although the Color-Changing Rhinoceros was an intermediate monster, it relied purely on its body to fight. After seeing a monster like Vincent, it's only option was to run away.

The Color-Changing Rhinoceros still wanted to find an opportunity to attack Vincent sneakily.

However, it was horrified to discover that its body was actually emitting flames, and it was the kind of flames that made it tremble in fear.

It turned around and wanted to escape.

However, its speed was too slow for Hellfire.

Its tail was ignited by a small wisp of Hellfire, and with a bang, it was covered entirely by Hellfire.

Under Vincent's deliberate control, the Color-Changing Rhinoceros did not burn into ashes. However, it was cooked thoroughly, and the fragrance of its meat wafted out.

Vincent used Hellfire to look into the hole made by the Underground Lizard's tongue. He then found the Underground Lizard rolling around.

Its entire tongue disappeared after being burned by Hellfire.

Vincent used Hellfire to melt the ground. He melted it until he was directly above the Underground Lizard. He then turned Hellfire into a net to catch the lizard. After he caught the lizard, he chopped off its head.

At this point, both monsters had been dealt with by Vincent.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a beginner-level monster, the Underground Lizard. One upgrade pill obtained."

"Do you wish to consume it?"

"Consume it."

"Ding! You have successfully consumed the upgrade pill. Psionic power limit increased by 5 points."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an intermediate monster, Color-Changing Rhinoceros. One F-Class spiritual martial strengthening stone obtained."

Vincent fell to the ground due to the excessive consumption of his spiritual energy.

"Spiritual martial strengthening stone? What is this?"

While he took some medicine, he checked the attributes of the spiritual martial strengthening stone.

F-Class spiritual martial strengthening stones can strengthen spiritual weapons and increase their offensive attributes. There was also a chance to increase the level of spiritual weapons.

Special note: Three F-Class spiritual martial strengthening stones can be combined into an E-Class spiritual martial strengthening stone.

"Enhanced weapon?"

After reading the introduction, Vincent looked at the Black Battle Saber in his hand. After thinking for a while, he chose to enhance it.

This saber was his first weapon. It faced life and death with him, and it had suffered a gaping wound when he was fighting against the Vampire Rat.

Therefore, it was vital to make it stronger.

Also, it was because he did not know when he would get the other two spiritual martial strengthening stones.

"Use spiritual martial strengthening stones on D-Class Black Battle Saber."

"Ding! Strengthening in progress, please wait a moment..."

"Ding! Strengthening completed, D-Class Black Battle Saber has been upgraded to C-Class Black Battle Saber!"

"Ding! Attack speed increased by 10%, attack power increased by 10%."

Vincent looked at the Black Battle Saber in his hands. There were no changes to its appearance.

The broken part was restored to its original state, and Vincent felt as if he had practiced with it for some unknown reason.

He waved it a few times, and it was very light. However, Vincent knew that it was not because the saber had become lighter.

Instead, it was because the system had notified him that it increased its attack speed.

He used his left hand to feel the blade and laughed heartily.

"Old buddy, let's rest for a while and continue!"

The power in his body had recovered a little bit.

He no longer felt weak. He then stood up and kept the body of the Underground Lizard.

He later walked to the corpse of the Color-Changing Rhinoceros that had been cooked by Hellfire. He dug out the crystals and ate a piece of its thigh meat.

The flesh of the discolored rhinoceros was very firm, but the texture was not good.

Vincent ate half of the leg just to fill his stomach.

After feeling like all his aspects had reached peak level, he continued to kill monsters.

At the same time, the two sisters, who were hundreds of meters away, were attacked by beginner monsters known as the Ghost Wolves.

Ghost Wolves were beginner monsters. They appear in groups of at least dozens, and at most hundreds. They were fast, had sharp teeth, and their howls produced sound waves.

The Wolf King was a gray wolf that had lost its left eye. It was an intermediate-level monster.

Unfortunately, Angelina and her sister were surrounded by more than 300 Ghost Wolves.

Chapter 22

Avril stood in the front, brandishing her two machetes vigorously. She would kill two or three Ghost Wolves at a time.

Angelina stood behind to defend, using her psionic gun to kill anything that escaped.

Although such cooperation should be able to ensure the safety of the two sisters, they felt despair.

There was nothing they could do. There were more than three hundred Ghost Wolves surrounding them and they all cooperated very well. There were frontal attacks, sneak attacks, and sonic attacks.

The two sisters had been fighting for more than an hour since they encountered the Ghost Wolves.

From the grassland to the cave, the spiritual energy in their bodies had been exhausted long ago.

They had to take medicine and strong spiritual energy for support.

"Angelina, I'll fight my way out later. You go first."

Avril said to Angelina without turning her head.

"If you want to go, Let's go together!"

Angelina's tone was firm.

Although she always tried to avoid her sister, in actual fact, the two sisters were very close. She could not leave her sister behind alone.

"Listen to me. Now is not the time to be impulsive!"

Avril roared.

"I'm not being impulsive!"

Angelina defended herself and glared. "Be careful!"

She shot the Ghost Wolf that attacked Avril.

Although she managed to kill the Ghost Wolf, the Ghost Wolf's claws injured Avril.

The claws were originally aimed at her neck but had scratched off her clothes instead.

Avril's clothes were torn off.

Her two large breasts were exposed and were very eye-catching.

Fortunately, there was no one else around except for the two sisters.

"F*ck!"

Avril cursed in her heart. She forced herself to focus and activated her superpower one last time.

"Fury!"

With the enhancement of her superpower, Avril appeared very fierce. The two machetes that she brandished left afterimages.

The howling of the Ghost Wolf did not just affect the two sisters. It also affected their judgment.

In fact, Avril had made some mistakes in her judgment earlier and the Ghost Wolf saw it as an opportunity.

If Angelina had not attacked in time, she would have died.

As for Angelina's superpower, it was really special.

However, when she was facing the Ghost Wolf, there was no difference if she used her superpower or not.

Her superpower was an S-Class special type of absorption.

It could absorb the target's superpower or psionic ability and release it.

The Ghost Wolf was fast and had sharp teeth. Its cry produced a sound wave attack.

How could she absorb it?

Her only option to escape was to run fast. Therefore, it was meaningless.

Even if she had sharp teeth and tongue, would she even be able to bite more than 300 Ghost Wolves?

As for the sound wave attack, it was no joke!

Even if she was a soprano, how could she be better than 300 wolves?

In other words, Angelina could not change the current situation even if she released her superpower.

One minute later, Avril's Fury disappeared. A wave of fatigue came over her, making her feel dizzy.

Although she could still hold on and wield two machetes, her speed slowed down drastically.

A hole appeared in the frontal defense, and the Ghost Wolves swarmed in like a tide instantly.

Angelina shot bullets from her psionic gun and formed a fire net.

However, to the Ghost Wolves, it was nothing.

"It's over!" 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢

The two sisters shared the same thought.

Just as the two were about to give up and thought that they were going to die, the Ghost Wolves suddenly exploded behind them.

The pitch-black flames ignited the surrounding plants, forming a sea of fire, attacking the Ghost Wolves.

…

On Vincent's side, he watched the east turn white. The night's battle had left him mentally exhausted.

He also did not have much medicine left. He then left for Bick Town. On the way back to Bick Town, he suddenly discovered that there was an intense battle happening not far away.

Based on the attack, he was able to determine that there were monsters attacking humans and had surrounded them.

He set out to rescue the people.

As he stood on the hillside, he saw more than 300 Ghost Wolves. His head went numb.

He knew that if he acted rashly, he would be delivering himself as food to the Ghost Wolves.

After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea.

Burn the mountain!

That's right, burn the mountain.

There were many types of plants on the mountain. Even if an ordinary fire was set ablaze, the mountain would be burned until it no longer existed, much less the Ghost Wolves.

However, it was not an ordinary fire, it was the flames of Hellfire!

Vincent threw dozens of small black flames.

When they landed on the plants, the plants turned into flames and ignited everything around them.

Under Vincent's deliberate control, the flames burned the Ghost Wolves from all directions, forming a circle around them.

The Ghost Wolves were surrounded by the flames of Hellfire.

By the time the Wolf King realized what had happened, it was already too late. It knew that it could not charge out by itself, so it summoned the Ghost Wolves to pave the way for it.

At the same time, the sisters were about to give up and were waiting for death.

"Hellfire! It's Vincent!"

Angelina looked at the black flames, her face full of excitement.

Avril was shaken to the core.

Wherever the Hellfire passed, the ground was charred and there was nothing left.

The second before, it was still lush and luxuriant. The next second, it was charred black.

This made Avril shudder.

Vincent held his saber in his right hand and walked out from the flames. The Ghost Wolf cried out in fear behind him.

His face was cold, and his flame-shaped pupils emitted an extremely strong pressure.

He was like a demon god!

Avril showed a confused expression. She had never thought that one day, she would actually be saved by Vincent.

The Ghost Wolf was a disaster for the two sisters. However, it was a piece of cake for Vincent.

Hellfire did not even need to be controlled. The Ghost Wolf was killed instantly.

Shortly after, the Hellfire extinguished, and all the Ghost Wolves burned to death, including the Wolf King.

The system notification kept ringing in his mind. There were more than three hundred upgrade pills for him. They were enough for him to advance to an intermediate superpower user.

As he also killed the Wolf King, the system gave him an E-Class combat skill known as Jump Slash.

The power in Vincent's body was exhausted once again, making him feel empty.

He ate the last recovery pill and walked towards the sisters.

Just as he was about to speak to the two sisters, he was stunned.

Avril's clothes had been torn off by the Ghost Wolf.

Her breasts surged, looking very spectacular.

"Bastard! What are you looking at!"

Although Avril was cold and elegant, she still intended to thank Vincent. After all, it was Vincent who saved their lives.

However, before she could say anything, she saw Vincent staring at her breasts.

The words of gratitude were immediately suppressed by shame and anger.

She roared and covered her breasts with both hands quickly.

However, her breasts were too big, and her two hands could not cover them at all.

On the contrary, they were half-exposed, which made them even more alluring.

Punch!

Vincent spat out two nosebleeds.

He wiped them away and gave Avril a playful smile. "The peaks are stacked together, white and red."

After seeing her look defeated, Vincent was very happy.

"Vincent!"

Angelina knew that the two of them were not on good terms, so she shook her head helplessly. At the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable.

As for the reason why she felt uncomfortable, even she herself was not able to explain it properly.

She took out a piece of clothing from the storage necklace and draped it over Avril's body. She stepped sideways to block Vincent's line of sight.

Vincent retracted his gaze and looked at Angelina.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

As a friend, it was normal to be concerned.

Chapter 23

Angelina shook her head. "It's fine. I just ran out of psionic energy. I just need to recover a little."

"It's a good thing that you're here. Otherwise, we would have not been able to see each other again."

Angelina patted her chest with lingering fear, whilst Vincent feasted his eyes on her.

The two sisters. One was cold and elegant and the other was passionate and fiery.

Although they both looked exactly the same, they each had their own unique features.

"If the two sisters were kept in the room, wouldn't that be…"

As Vincent thought about it, the blood from his nose gushed out again.

He shook his head and tried to erase the inappropriate images in his mind. He coughed lightly to cover up the awkwardness in his heart.

At the same time, Avril changed her clothes. She looked at Vincent with puzzlement, her beautiful face still red.

Although she was embarrassed and angry after being seen naked by Vincent, she was more curious about Vincent's strength.

Previously, when she fought with Vincent, he was only slightly stronger than her.

It seemed that Vincent had held back before.

Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong, and her eyes suddenly widened.

"You! You're a beginner!"

Avril looked as if she had seen a ghost.

She asked around and found out that Vincent was an orphan. It had only been half a month since he had awakened.

However, he had already advanced to a beginner-level superpowered person. His talent and training speed were simply inhuman!

Avril had been consuming all kinds of psionic food since she was young. She even used the best training equipment and was also taught by a special teacher.

She only became a beginner-level superpowered person not long after she had awakened.

But what about Vincent?

Although he was a few days slower than her, he did not have such excellent equipment, food, and guidance when he was young!

Vincent looked at Avril and rolled his eyes at her.

"I saved you, and you're telling me this!"

Avril's beautiful eyes glared, but she did not say the word thank you.

Angelina held her forehead helplessly.

"Thank you, Vincent, for saving us sisters!"

Vincent smiled at Angelina. "We're friends! It's no big deal."

He looked at Avril again and said sarcastically, "We're both the same age, why is there such a big difference!"

When Angelina heard Vincent's words, the discomfort in her heart immediately disappeared.

Avril really wanted to fight Vincent.

However, Vincent was the one who saved her. She also knew that she could not beat him, so she could only sulk.

Beginner versus apprentice, a complete defeat! Vincent still had some doubts.

Beginner versus beginner, the result was self-evident.

"Vincent, what happened to you?"

Angelina looked at Vincent's body covered in blood, some of it had solidified and turned black. She could not help but ask.

"You didn't encounter any danger, right?"

She looked concerned.

"I didn't run into any danger. I was injured a little earlier, but I've almost recovered."

Vincent tugged at his clothes and continued, "Most of these are monsters'."

"Let me see if it's serious!"

Angelina was very anxious when she heard that Vincent was injured.

"Alright, look at him jumping around. He won't die."

Avril could not stand it anymore.

Her sister had also suffered quite a number of injuries. Why is she not showing her any concern?

Angelina heard her sister's reprimand and shot a resentful glance at Avril. She wanted to check Vincent's injuries again.

She let out a long breath and relaxed when she found out that Vincent was truly fine.

"I saved you."

Vincent looked at Avril and retorted directly.

Vincent would never forget anything that could make Avril suffer.

What he meant was, if it was not for him, she would have been dead by now.

Avril was speechless and could only glare at Vincent.

Vincent ignored her.

Angelina looked at the two of them and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Why did they have to fight like five or six-year-old children!

"Vincent, are you still going to continue training?"

Angelina decided to change the topic.

"No, I don't have enough medical supplies. I'm preparing to go back."

Vincent shook his head.

"Not enough medicine?"

Angelina then took out a large bag.

She had a bottle of all-purpose recovery medicine that cost thousands of psionic coins. Her bag was really big.

It could be estimated that the contents of her bag were worth hundreds of thousands of psionic coins.

He could not tell that this little girl was actually a small rich lady!

"Here! I'll give it all to you."

Angelina then handed it over to Vincent without any hesitation.

Avril looked at Angelina and her brows immediately furrowed together.

When she was surrounded by the Ghost Wolves, she should not have left all the medicine with her when she wanted her to escape.

She did not even use much medicine and in the end, she gave them all to that bastard Vincent!

However, Avril did not stop Angelina from giving the medicine to him.

Although it was a lot of medicine, it could not be compared to Vincent's life-saving grace.

"Thank you!"

Vincent accepted her offer and kept the medicine.

With the medicine supply, he could still continue to fight in the wild for a long time.

"Why are you so formal with me!"

Angelina saw Vincent take it, and her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

After watching the two of them talking and laughing, Avril was very envious. However, she felt a little uncomfortable at the same time.

"Why are you not leaving yet? Are you waiting for the other monsters to come?"

Avril said coldly.

"Let's go, Vincent. Let's go back together."

Angelina grabbed Vincent's arm happily.

Vincent did plan to go back but then decided to stay on for a few more days as he had received a lot of medical supplies from Angelina.

"I don't plan to go back. I'll stay on for a little while longer."

Avril, who had already started walking, immediately stopped after hearing Vincent's words.

She turned her head and looked at Vincent with surprise.

Was he going all out?

After hearing what Vincent said, Angelina suddenly had a moment of realization.

"I can't go back either! I still have two beginner-level monsters to kill!"

When Avril heard Angelina's words, she was so angry that her chest hurt.

If she wanted to follow Vincent, she should just say it. Why is she bringing up the missions that she gave?

However, Avril suddenly realized the influence that Vincent had on her.

For the first time, she did not want to return to Blazing City.

Angelina saw that Avril did not object to her proposal and had looked at Vincent gratefully instead.

"Vincent, let's do it together!"

Avril did not reject her offer to Vincent this time. It could be said that she had acquiesced to Angelina's decision.

Vincent thought about it. It was indeed safer to have more people.

After seeing the two of them surrounded by wolves, he thought he could offer protection to both of them.

He could ignore the safety of Avril. After all, he was not on good terms with Avril, to begin with.

As Angelina was his friend, he had to take into account Angelina's safety.

"Vincent, where are we going? My sister and I will listen to you."

Angelina was very straightforward. She looked like she was following his lead.

When Avril heard this, she rolled her eyes.

"When did I say that I would listen to him!" she thought to herself.

However, she did not say anything.

Vincent thought about it and looked at his surroundings.

"On the way here, I saw a valley over there. We can go there and have a look."

"Alright! Let's go!"

Angelina clenched her fists, full of energy.

Chapter 24

After just a day, their clothes were completely soaked in monsters' blood.

In one day, the three of them had killed a total of 28 monsters, and their cooperation was getting better and better.

Vincent finally understood what the two sisters' superpowers were.

It turned out that Avril did not just awaken one A-class superpower; she had actually awakened two A-Class superpowers.

One of them was an A-Class offensive superpower known as Fury.

After activating it, she would have ten times her combat power in one minute.

The other was an A-Class control superpower that she was proficient in.

This was a passive superpower. Avril could learn how to use a psionic weapon instantly, no matter what kind of weapon it was.

With her two superpowers complementing one another, she could become an all-rounded warrior in a minute.

However, it was not obvious as her current level was still too low. She would only be able to truly display her powers if she increased her level.

Nevertheless, she would still be able to win against an intermediate-level monster.

As for Angelina's superpowers, Vincent was shocked when he found out about it.

It was actually an S-Class superpower. Its purpose was to absorb.

It could absorb the target's superpowers or psionic power to be released.

In simple terms, regardless of the enemy she faced, she would be invincible in a one-on-one fight.

This is because she would be able to absorb the enemy's superpower to strengthen herself. Her opponent would become weaker, whilst she became stronger.

No one would be a match for her.

However, this was still not the most terrifying aspect of the superpower.

The most terrifying aspect of the superpower was to absorb the opponent's psionic power.

This would allow one to become an all-rounded mage!

As long as one had enough protection, it would be a nightmare for all superpower users.

It was also because Angelina did not pay much attention during training. Otherwise, she would definitely be more terrifying than Avril.

Vincent had also shocked the two sisters.

His D-Class combat skill, Collapsing Mountain Strike, had been maxed out, and his control over his ability was precise.

When they were about 500 meters away from Bick Town, the ground shook suddenly.

They saw a golden eagle with electric arcs all over its body soared into the sky.

Its eyes were dignified and cold.

When it saw Vincent and the two sisters, it raised its head and let out a cry before launching an attack.

A golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky. It was aiming at the three of them.

The three of them barely dodged it and took cover.

There was nothing they could do. The lightning was too fast. If one were to awaken a lightning-type superpower, their attacks would be extremely fast.

Among the elemental superpowers, the lightning-type superpower was the fastest.

"Not good!"

Avril's face changed.

"It's an intermediate monster, the Lightning Eagle!"

The Lightning Eagle was an intermediate-level monster. Its defense was weak, but its attack power was strong. It had a pair of iron claws that could crush psionic weapons.

Moreover, it had the ability to manipulate lightning to attack its opponent. It was very difficult to deal with.

Although it was only an intermediate-level monster, ordinary high-level superpowered people could not attack it.

The main reason was that it could not be attacked!

It was flying in the sky, while the rest of them were on the ground. How could the Lightning Eagle be hit?

It was more like a live target.

However, Vincent's face was calm.

He took out his Black Battle Saber and said coldly, "She's just a flying monster."

"Angelina, the psionic gun consumes the Lightning Eagle's stamina from afar. When there is an opportunity, release your superpower and absorb it."

"Avril, prepare your psionic bow and arrow and try to compress his movement space."

After they planned their battle strategy, Vincent attacked using his Collapsing Mountain Strike.

The Lightning Eagle let out an angry cry. It did not expect Vincent to be daring enough to attack it.

It released lightning again, one that was as thick as a baby's arm.

Vincent did not dodge the lightning. Instead, he suddenly released Hellfire as the Lightning was about to collide.

The Lightning Eagle sensed danger and stopped its lightning. It then turned to dodge.

It hid far away and looked at Vincent in horror.

In the short exchange it had with Vincent, the Lightning Eagle felt that Vincent was fundamentally different from the other humans that it had fought before.

It released lightning again. It was prepared to use lightning to exhaust Vincent from a distance.

However, it neglected the fact that Vincent was not alone.

Just as it condensed a bolt of lightning, Angelina attacked.

The bullets from the psionic gun interwoven into a net of firepower, causing the Lightning Eagle to dodge left and right. There was no way it could condense lightning to launch an attack on Vincent.

Avril also waited for the right time to fire an arrow to stop the Lightning Eagle from dodging. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

The two sisters worked well together. The Lightning Eagle that had been a headache was restricted; it was difficult for it to charge out.

Avril's arrow made it fly lower and lower.

Vincent stood in place and did not move. He looked like he was a spectator, but in actual fact, he had already set up the Hellfire flames on Avril's arrows.

"Time's up!"

Vincent shouted in a low voice and instantly activated Hellfire.

A large net burning with black flames suddenly appeared and trapped the Lightning Eagle completely.

It could not move its wings and fell directly onto the ground.

"Angelina, now!"

Vincent yelled quickly.

Although the Hellfire net could trap normal monsters easily, it was different against the Lightning Eagle. The Lightning Eagle could break free at any time.

If Vincent was ruthless, he could just burn it to ashes. However, he could not be ruthless.

Angelina heard Vincent and threw the psionic gun to the ground. She pressed her palms together and pulled abruptly.

A fan-shaped white wave of light flew towards the Lightning Eagle.

The Lightning Eagle that was struggling to break free from the Hellfire net suddenly felt the psionic power from its body drain rapidly. It struggled more and more powerlessly.

It was scary. It knew that it had provoked the wrong trio.

However, it was too late.

Bang!

The Lightning Eagle fell to the ground, causing a mess.

Its cries had become much quieter.

Vincent quickly ran forward and chopped off its head.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an intermediate monster, Lightning Eagle. You have obtained a superpower upgrade gem."

"Do you wish to use it?"

"Not for the time being."

Just as Vincent was about to chop off the Lightning Eagle's head, the system notification sounded.

Vincent looked at the superpower upgrade gem, and his eyes instantly widened.

The superpower upgrade gem can be used for unlimited power upgrades without any restrictions.

"System, can an S-Class power be upgraded as well?"

Vincent asked the system in disbelief.

If he had not obtained this, he would have thought that S-Class superpowers were the limit.

"Of course."

The system answered accurately, causing Vincent to forget what he was doing.

"Vincent? Vincent! What's wrong?"

Angelina saw Vincent standing there in shock and asked him worriedly.

Vincent shook his head and did not say anything. This information was too shocking and could not be digested in such a short period of time.

Avril had already dug up the Lightning Eagle's crystals and gave them to Vincent.

Vincent did not stand during the ceremony. He kept the crystals and the Lightning Eagle's corpse. The three of them left quickly.

In less than a minute, countless monsters came from all directions. The three of them looked around in confusion.

Chapter 25

When they finally arrived at Bick Town, Hao Sai was once again in charge of verifying their identity.

He was very surprised when he saw Vincent covered in blood.

How many monsters did he kill?

After a few conversations, Vincent brought the two sisters to the supply point.

Vincent had made great progress after two days of training and continuous battles.

When he left, he was almost a beginner, almost about to break through. Nevertheless, he was not affected or bothered by it.

When he came back, he was a beginner-level superpower user. He had even killed more than 300 Ghost Wolves.

If he wanted to, he could become an intermediate-level superpower user any time.

However, he chose not to level up so quickly.

On one hand, it would be shocking for people to know that he had become an intermediate-level superpower user in two days. It would be hard for him to explain.

On the other hand, although he had improved a lot in all aspects, he still needed time to consolidate.

He would only continue to improve when he completely mastered all aspects.

Before becoming an intermediate-level superpower user, he wanted to ensure that he had a good foundation. He knew that he would only be able to walk steadily in the future if his foundation was solid.

Vincent understood this principle.

He passed by Bick Town and returned to Blazing City.

One city wall, two worlds. This kind of change was something that he had only experienced once.

Vincent was still not used to it.

After returning to Quinn School, the three of them went to the Exchange Place.

Vincent poured out more than forty crystals and thirty monster corpses on the table.

Even Avril, who was standing beside him looked surprised.

The three of them were together for the whole day. She knew that they had killed more than twenty monsters.

However, where did the other half come from?

Did Vincent kill them in half a day?

In half a day alone, he had killed the same number of monsters that the three of them killed in a day.

The teacher at the Exchange Office was not surprised by this. She asked Vincent for his student ID and began to exchange the items for points.

The process of exchanging points was very simple.

There was a piece of equipment that one could use to determine what kind of monster the crystals were from and exchange them directly.

If there was no problem, they could just transfer the points directly into the student ID.

After the teacher finished verifying the points with Vincent, he inserted Vincent's student ID into the equipment.

"You're a new student that has just reported!"

The teacher was extremely shocked when he found out the date that Vincent arrived at Quinn. It was displayed on the equipment.

He did not expect that a new student who had just arrived at Quinn would have such powerful combat strength.

If they were all just all low-level monsters, he would not be too surprised. After all, there was one who managed to do it before Vincent.

However, there were five crystals among them that belonged to an intermediate monster!

He thought that Vincent was a senior student who had not returned home during the summer vacation.

Vincent nodded and did not say anything.

In his opinion, although having such a result was a little surprising, it was only surprising to a certain extent.

He felt like the teacher in the Exchange Office was making a big fuss over nothing.

On the other hand, Angelina revealed a smug expression when she heard the teacher in the Exchange Office praise Vincent.

Avril rolled her eyes at Angelina after seeing her expression.

The teacher looked at Vincent meaningfully and nodded slightly.

He was not expecting anything good, but after seeing Vincent, he was at ease.

He was a good seedling.

After recording 680 points into Vincent's student ID, he returned the student ID to Vincent.

After Vincent expressed his gratitude, he turned around and left with the two sisters.

There were quite a few students at the Exchange Office. All of them made way for Vincent.

They saw the crystals that Vincent had poured out earlier.

Although there were many who could do the same, they were all at least in the second grade!

They simply could not be compared to Vincent.

They saw Vincent as a fierce person and did not want to provoke him.

Shortly after Vincent left, a young man with shabby clothes, a strong build, and a murderous aura walked in with great strides.

"Teacher, I'm here to exchange points."

When the others at the Exchange Office saw the young man, they immediately avoided him by three meters.

They gave way to him way more than they did to Vincent.

When the young man saw this, he snorted coldly.

"A bunch of trash! What's there to be afraid of! I'm seriously injured!"

The teacher at the Exchange Office was not surprised by this.

"Chris, for something to injure you so seriously, you must have been fighting a high-level monster alone."

Chris nodded. He showed more respect when he was speaking to a teacher.

"A Blood Dragon Beast. It did not open its eyes and disturbed my sleep. I had no choice but to kill it."

Blood Dragon Beast. It was a high-level monster. Its entire body was blood red in color and looked like a Stegosaurus. It had high defense and strong attacks. The monster's sharp teeth could destroy gold and break jade.

The other students looked at Chris as if they were looking at a monster.

Chris was indeed a monster in their hearts.

An intermediate-level superpower user killed a high-level monster just because it was disturbing his sleep!

It was an extremely good and powerful reason!

The teacher at the Exchange Office shook his head helplessly. He knew Chris's personality too well.

He would have killed the Blood Dragon Beast regardless of the reason because he was a battle maniac.

His superpower was an S-Class special class esper ability, the incarnation of a monster.

As long as he had monster crystals, he could become a similar monster and possess all the abilities of the monster.

This superpower caused him to have a violent tendency in his genes.

In addition, he believed that he could only become stronger by fighting.

Usually, he would go around looking for people to fight in school.

Although he was only in the second grade, many third and fourth grade seniors were unwilling to provoke him.

Last year, when he first came to Quinn, he brought back eight intermediate monster crystals on his first training trip.

It shocked the entire school and was worshiped by countless new students. He was known as the god of war.

In private, everyone liked to call him crazy.

Battle crazy.

"We saw a fierce person like you earlier. He had more than forty crystals, and five of them were intermediate monster crystals."

The teacher at the Exchange Office calculated Chris's points as he spoke.

After hearing that, Chris's eyes lit up and a vigorous fighting spirit burst through his body.

"He just left?"

He asked and immediately turned around. He wanted to leave and chase him before he even took his student ID.

The teacher at the Exchange Office shook his head when he saw this. He reached out his left hand and grabbed Chris's back.

"Get back here!"

Chris could not control his body and returned to the table.

"He's a newly-enrolled special student. You are a second-year, and you want to fight with him?"

The Exchange Office teacher said unhappily.

When Chris heard that Vincent was a newly enrolled special student, he lost interest.

He was previously a newly-enrolled special student and knew very well what a newly-enrolled special student was like.

He was the strongest amongst last year's batch of specially recruited students.

If he had to battle a similar version of his previous self, he only needed one move to finish him off.

He could not even be bothered to use his superpower.

Therefore, even if Vincent had the same results as him last year, he could not be bothered to fight him.

"Alright, this is your student ID, 987 points."

Chris did not care about how many points he had. He put away his student ID and turned to leave.

"You're not allowed to look for him!"

The teacher at the Exchange Office was afraid that Chris would look for Vincent, so he reminded him once more.

Chris just waved his hand and walked out of the Exchange Office without looking back.

Chapter 26

Vincent gave some points to the sisters when they were in front of the dormitory. He then walked into his dorm.

His roommate, Nabil, was exercising. After a simple greeting, he was excited to return to his room.

Vincent was itching to use the superpower upgrade gem.

He shut his door and locked it.

Vincent took out the superpower upgrade gem from his backpack.

In an instant, seven-colored light filled the entire room.

A gentle yet powerful force surged out from the gem.

Vincent looked at the seven-colored light around him. He was surprised and had a feeling of adoration for it.

"So strong!"

Vincent muttered softly.

He could feel the immeasurable abundance of power that the gem possessed. The gem was only the size of a fingernail.

Even the three powers in his body were affected and became restless.

According to the system notification, he was required to inject his power into the evolved gem.

Once the power was injected, it would evolve.

Of course, the rate of evolution was very little.

Vincent was a little conflicted on which power he should evolve.

After thinking about it, Vincent decided to evolve Hellfire.

This was because Hellfire was very powerful. It was also the only power that he had revealed.

As compared to the two powers, Hellfire was more advantageous to him.

It was also because the other two powers, Speed Training and Monster Affinity were currently enough for him.

When Vincent made his decision, he reached for the superpower upgrade gem and grabbed it.

Boom!

Hellfire appeared and wrapped around the superpower upgrade gem.

The moment Hellfire wrapped around the superpower upgrade gem, the gem shattered and turned into white sand, flowing down from his fingers.

It disappeared before it landed on the ground.

Vincent could feel that there was something different about Hellfire.

As he retracted Hellfire back into his body, Vincent's eyes suddenly widened.

In the center of his flame-shaped pupil, an extremely tiny five-colored gemstone appeared.

It was mysterious and dignified.

Vincent felt like his entire person became much more profound.

A minute later, the five-colored gemstone in his pupil disappeared, and Vincent looked exactly the same as before.

"Check the character panel."

Vincent could not wait to open the character panel.

Name: Vincent Amore

Ability: Hellfire (S-Class elemental type)

Evolution Progress: 34%

Speed Training (S-Class support Type)

Monster Affinity (S-Class special Type)

Psionic ability: 108

Realm: Beginner-level superpower user

Equipment: D-Class Black Battle Blade

Combat technique:

Name: Collapsing Mountain Strike

Grade: D-Class combat skill

Proficiency: 100%

Name: Jump Slash

Grade: E-Class combat skill

Proficiency: 66%

Vincent's eyes lit up when he saw the huge change in the character's interface.

The system previously mentioned that the evolution rate was very small; therefore, he thought that it would be good enough to even have a 10% increase.

He did not expect that it would actually increase by 34%!

In other words, he would be able to complete the evolution of Hellfire with only two more gems.

Vincent then released Hellfire as he wanted to see how much more powerful Hellfire was after the upgrade. His Hellfire power evolved by one-third.

Boom!

Hellfire rose, with Vincent in the center, spewing out in all directions.

The black flames carried a hint of purple and were also more vicious than before.

It was mysterious, noble, and tyrannical!

After careful observation, Vincent discovered that the power and speed of Hellfire had increased by one-third.

His control over Hellfire had also become much stronger.

Previously, Vincent still needed the help of the sisters to kill the Lightning Eagle.

However, after the upgrade, Vincent knew that he could kill it himself.

As he released his superpower, Vincent realized that even his power consumption had reduced but he did not know by how much.

"Looks like I will need to make a trip to the superpower training room."

Vincent put away Hellfire and muttered softly to himself.

He then went to open his room door.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Nabil walk out of his room. He was completely covered in black smoke.

There was black smoke coming out from the door; the smoke was surging outwards.

"This is?"

Vincent's eyes widened. "Did you fail to refine the equipment again?"

Nabil nodded awkwardly and chuckled.

He then straightened his face and asked Vincent, "Vincent, have you been to the Black Hole?"

Vincent shook his head. "No, but I just came back from the wild."

When Nabil heard that Vincent had never been to the black hole, his expression became somewhat dejected.

However, when he heard that Vincent had been to the wild, his blood immediately boiled.

"How is the wild? What kind of requirements do you need for your equipment?"

Vincent looked at Nabil, who was in ragged clothes and was speechless for a while.

He should be more concerned about whether he was okay.

His entire body was charred black. If he said that he had been barbecued, people would believe him!

"Let's not talk about that for now. Are you alright?"

Vincent had a worried look on his face.

Nabil looked down at his body and shook his head.

Black particles flew in all directions.

"It's nothing. It's always a small problem."

Vincent touched his forehead helplessly.

He told Nabil about the field training process and equipment-related aspects.

Nabil listened and nodded in understanding. He later decided to return to his room and did not say anything further to Vincent.

Vincent shrugged and went downstairs to leave the dormitory.

Just as he reached the superpower training room, Vincent's phone rang.

He looked at his phone and saw that Chris had invited him into a chat room.

In the chat room, there were only six people including Chris.

Vincent, Angelina, and Nabil were also in the group. There was another student, but Vincent did not know who it was.

"Students, in about seven days, the new special students will start school."

"During that time, I will arrange a meeting between the new and old specially recruited students."

"I hope that everyone can make it!"

Vincent nodded. It would indeed be helpful to meet specially recruited senior students as he would be able to know the gap between him and the other students.

After replying, Vincent kept his phone and began to test the evolved Hellfire.

In order to ensure that he was safe, Vincent doubled the gravity and waved his hand to summon Hellfire. He controlled the Hellfire to stay the size of a shot put.

Vincent could clearly feel that he still had some energy left to control Hellfire.

Out of curiosity, he summoned one.

Vincent did not feel like he had reached his limit until he summoned five fireballs.

He controlled the five fireballs and was able to change their shapes into arrows, swords, broadswords, fire nets, and others. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

It was as easy as lifting weights!

Suddenly, Vincent realized that he could also divert his attention and control the five fireballs to attack in various directions.

With such skill, he would be able to defeat monsters easily. This is especially so if he encountered a situation similar to before, where he had to attack both the Color-Changing Rhinoceros and Underground Lizard at the same time.

After adjusting the gravity by four times, Vincent could feel his entire body sinking, and his control over Hellfire was no longer easy on his fingers.

However, it was not too different. This meant that the evolved Hellfire had a very high degree of integration with him.

Before he knew it, it was already nighttime.

Vincent returned to his dorm to rest. The next day, he continued training.

Just like that, it had been 7 days. Vincent did not rest at all. He lived a two-point, one-line life.

On this particular day that Vincent was training, his chat group had a notification after being silent for 7 days.

Chapter 27

"Dear students, the new and old special student recruitment meet-up will begin at 3 pm today. Please be punctual!"

After a week of not checking the chat group, Vincent realized that there were two more people in the group. There were originally only six people.

It was probably all the special students for this year.

Vincent was looking forward to the meeting in the afternoon. 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

After finishing his training early, Vincent returned to his dorm, took a shower, changed his clothes, and headed to the first hall.

When Vincent arrived at the first hall, he saw two men and a woman. Three of them had arrived early.

The woman had red hair and long legs. She was wearing a revealing midriff dress.

The other man was bald and had a fierce face.

Another man looked more refined and was wearing black-rimmed glasses.

The three of them were very imposing. Vincent felt pressured.

The three of them chatted happily. They looked like they were familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

They must be seniors.

Vincent nodded at the three of them as a greeting gesture and sat down on an empty seat.

Shortly after he sat down, three sloppy young men walked in unsteadily.

When they saw Vincent, they walked straight in.

"Where did this little punk come from! Get lost!"

Vincent looked at the three young men in front of him and frowned.

How could they scold him like that? They obviously have some character issues.

"Bastard! What are you still sitting there for! Hurry up and get lost! This is boss Snick's seat!"

The young man saw that Vincent did not move and was very angry. He clenched his fist and waved it in front of Vincent.

Vincent turned his head to look at the chair. There was no name on it.

"Snick? There's no one's name here."

Vincent said indifferently.

The young man became furious instantly. He hit Vincent's face with his fist.

It was a powerful blow!

A cold light flashed before Vincent's eyes.

He attacked him because of a slight disagreement. It was obvious that he did not hold back.

Vincent did not want to be at the mercy of such a person.

He flipped his hand and grabbed the young man's fist, twisting it outward.

Crack!

The young man's arm was broken.

"Ah!"

He then screamed and laid on the ground.

The three people who were chatting at the side showed a playful expression.

"This person doesn't look familiar. Is he a freshman?"

"He should be, he's so ruthless!"

"He does have a bit of Chris's intention. Looks like he's another madman."

"By the way, aren't you guys curious about what happened to the person who hit Snick?"

"PFFT! That trash can only bully freshmen."

The three of them clearly did not care about the situation.

Vincent defeated him easily. The other two men raised their eyebrows.

They did not expect that a freshman would be so ruthless.

He just broke a senior's arm. He had a ruthless character.

However, they did not retreat.

After all, it was not like they did not encounter ruthless characters before.

They proceeded to release their superpowers and attacked Vincent.

Vincent was obviously aware and on guard. He raised his leg and kicked the two of them to the ground.

"Hiss! This new student is interesting! A beginner-level superpower user and he kicked both of them to the ground with just one kick!"

"He's also a beginner-level superpower user. It's nothing strange. After all, those three are good-for-nothings."

"But he did not use his superpowers!"

"Yeah, that's true!"

"I'm afraid that this year's Quinn won't be peaceful!"

"Do you guys think that he'll be able to enter the top 100 in the Academy's Rankings?"

"That's hard to say. We'll only know after we fight."

The two men who had been kicked to the ground were already furious. They were extremely embarrassed.

They had just joined Snick's camp not too long ago. They initially wanted to use Vincent, who was a new student, to establish their might.

However, they did not expect that they would actually be knocked to the ground instead.

They flipped over and stood up. With their eyes red, they charged at Vincent again.

Vincent stood up after seeing them charging at him. At the same time, he covered both of his hands with Hellfire and slapped them directly.

His actions were so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even the three people who were watching the situation unfold did not react in time, let alone the two young men.

Initially, Vincent did not plan to use his superpower against the three men to make them retreat.

However, he did not expect the three men to not understand the immensity of heaven and earth. They still wanted to make a move.

He had no choice but to fight and defeat them all.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled sounds of slapping rang out.

The two men were sent flying, and Hellfire surrounded the two of them instantly.

Of course, Vincent did not intend to kill them, so he controlled the power of his hellfire.

However, it was still an S-Class superpower after all. No matter how much Vincent tried to control it, it still caused quite a bit of damage to the two of them.

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

"Damn it! Why can't this fire be extinguished?"

The two of them felt the pain caused by Hellfire and panicked.

If this continued, it would cause irreversible damage to the two of them. Vincent then withdrew Hellfire and sat down again.

"His attacks are ruthless, and his movements are well controlled. He's quite a character."

"His flames are so strong! They're even stronger than Hixton's!"

The bald man's face turned a little gloomy.

His superpower was the S-Class elemental type World-Burning Flames, and it was extremely overbearing.

He was known as Quinn's number one fire-type superpower user.

However, after looking at Vincent's Hellfire, he felt like he was about to lose his position as the number one fire-type superpower user.

Nevertheless, he did not have any jealousy in his heart, nor did he care about any false reputation.

Vincent was also a fire-attribute superpower user and he had displayed such powerful strength. Plus, Vincent was only a freshman. This made Hixton feel weak.

"I'll teach you a lesson. Don't go too far."

Vincent looked at the three men and said in a cold tone.

The three of them looked at Vincent resentfully, their faces full of shame.

They were beaten to such a terrible state by a freshman. Even if he was an S-Class, they would still feel ashamed.

They had been following Snick around when Chris told them that there would be a new and old special student recruitment meeting.

They then decided to visit this side of the world. At the same time, they had planned on recruiting a few underlings who had awakened an S-Class superpower.

They considered those who had awakened an S-Class superpower to be in the same class as them. It would be very honorable if it were to be revealed.

In the future, they would also be able to obtain more authority on Snick's side.

They had never thought that this would be the end result.

Vincent no longer paid attention to the three men. To him, killing them would be as easy as crushing three ants.

If it was not for the fact that Quinn had forbidden students from fighting among themselves and causing death, the three men would have been corpses by now.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, a robust young man with one blind eye walked over. He looked at the three men who had fallen onto the ground and asked with a frown.

"Boss Snick! Sob Sob Sob Sob! You have to make a decision for us!"

The young man whose arm had been broken by Vincent hugged Snick's leg and wept as he told the whole story.

Vincent listened quietly and did not move or say anything.

The three other people who were watching the situation unfold slowed down their breathing as they waited for what happened next.

After hearing what the young man said, Snake flew into a rage, but he did not make a move directly.

He still knew what these three young men were like.

"Kid, you're the one who said that I was just playing around?"

Vincent did not answer. He looked at the one-armed young man and gave him a cold smile.

The one-armed young man was scared by Vincent's smile and shivered, his eyes dodging him.

Chapter 28

Snick looked at the man with a broken arm.

"Kid, you have to look at the master before you beat up his dog. You have beaten up one of my men. I can't pretend that it didn't happen."

After saying that, he released his superpower directly.

His originally bronze-colored skin turned silver-white, and he punched Vincent.

Vincent's expression changed.

Snick was different from the other three men.

He was a third-year senior and an intermediate-level superpowered person. He had completely relied on his own training to reach the intermediate stage and had done it step by step.

His superpower was an S-Class assault-type superpower. It was known as the Body of Steel.

Although it gave Vincent a great sense of pressure, Vincent was not afraid at all.

He flipped his body to dodge and kicked his stomach.

Clang!

Vincent was sent flying by the rebounding force. Although he realized that something was wrong and managed to deflect the force in time, his entire leg was still numb.

"Not bad, beginner-level superpower user. You dodged my attack. You're very good."

After saying that, he revealed a sinister smile and crashed into Vincent like a tank.

Vincent dodged again.

Snick's defense was too terrifying.

It was stronger than all the monsters that he had seen before.

At least in his previous battles, there were very few monsters that could make his hands and feet go numb.

Snick was not surprised that Vincent dodged the attack.

He suddenly stopped and turned around to give another whip kick.

"So fast!"

Vincent knew that he could not dodge, so he could only take it head-on.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Bang!

Vincent flew away, and his arms were in unbearable pain.

However, he did not suffer much damage. He endured the pain and threw two Hellfire arrows.

Snick did not dodge his sudden attack.

Vincent thought that this was enough to end the battle. After all, Vincent was very clear about the penetrating power of his Hellfire arrows.

However, there were only two white marks on Snick's body. He did not cause any damage at all, but he still gave Snick a fright.

Other than Chris, who was known as a madman, there was no other student in Quinn that could break through his defense.

Although Vincent did not break through his defense completely, the two white marks were enough to show how powerful Vincent was.

Snick did not stop there. He attacked Vincent once again.

Vincent used Jump Slash to increase the distance between him and Snick. He then used his legs to execute the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

He was already familiar with the Collapsing Mountain Strike. Therefore, when he used it, the power was not limited to psionic weapons or his hands.

Clang!

The Collapsing Mountain Strike did not cause any damage to Snick.

"Little junior, is that all you have?"

Snick's words were full of mockery.

Vincent was really helpless against Snick.

His speed was fast, his defense was high, and his corresponding attack power was not low.

He simply had no way to start.

Vincent was not even so helpless when he faced an intermediate monster.

The three people who were watching them shook their heads in disappointment when they saw Vincent in such a bad state.

"I thought there was something special about this new student, but it turns out that he's just like this!"

"I can tell that his combat ability isn't weak. It's only because his opponent is Snick. There's nothing he could do about it."

"Should I say it or not? Although Snick isn't strong, his defense is really terrifying."

Vincent stood ten meters away from Snick. He was panting heavily, and his expression was filled with hesitation.

For the past seven days, Vincent had practiced his superpower and had learned some new techniques.

However, because he had only just started practicing, it was difficult for him to grasp his limits. He was afraid of hurting Snick.

However, from Snick's end, it was obvious that he would not stop until Vincent was half-dead.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma, but this dilemma did not last long.

He seemed more determined. He took a deep breath and looked calmly at Snick.

Snick's heart tightened. He felt that Vincent's entire temperament had changed.

An inexplicable sense of danger came one after another.

The three people who were watching them were also focused.

This new student had a backup plan?

"Flash!"

Vincent said in a deep voice.

Bang!

A cluster of Hellfire suddenly appeared on Snick's abdomen, leaving a white mark on his silver-white skin.

"What!"

Snick was really frightened this time.

The cluster of black flames appeared so sudden. He did not have a chance to prepare for it at all.

"What kind of move is this? How did it suddenly appear?"

The other two looked at Hixton in confusion.

Their eyes were full of questions.

How could Hixton not understand what the two of them meant?

He shook his head, indicating that this was the first time he had seen the superpower being used this way.

Flash was the inspiration that Vincent had found when he was facing the Underground Lizard.

He knew that Hellfire was too powerful, to begin with. If he attacked suddenly, what kind of effect would it have?

Given his curiosity, he was practicing the attack the whole time.

However, it was completely at his own trial and error and was extremely time-consuming.

It was only yesterday when he felt a trace of it during training, and he was able to try it out already.

However, because the power was not easy to control and he had no accuracy, he was unable to use it against Snick.

As he was forced into a corner, he could only give it a try. He did not expect to succeed.

After that, the battle became much simpler.

Vincent used a distraction battle method. On one hand, he maintained a distance from Snick. On the other hand, he used Flash to attack Snick.

However, the power was uneven, and he could not use it every time.

Snick had to be careful because every attack was sudden.

As time passed, the battle became more and more disadvantageous to Snick.

His body was covered with white marks, many of them hitting the same spot.

Initially, Vincent's attacks only caused a little damage to him; however, when he attacked suddenly, the damage was much greater. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Snick was a hot-tempered person. He was rational before but had completely lost his rationality after Vincent's attack.

He took out his psionic gun and fired wildly at Vincent.

Vincent's pupils constricted.

He could tell that his psionic gun was a B-Class.

He was still controlling the power of Hellfire, but as Snick had used a psionic weapon in violation of the school rules, he no longer held back.

"Flash Barrage!"

Whoosh!

Dong Dong Dong Dong!

A series of black flames suddenly appeared in front of Snick and struck him on the nose.

Coincidentally, at the same time, Chris was leading a few people into the hall.

When she saw Vincent and Snick fighting one another, both fighting for their lives, her expression changed drastically.

She was especially worried about Vincent's attack as she did not know how much Vincent had grown during this period of time.

He definitely would not be bad.

Even if Snick was a third-year student with extremely strong defense, she did not believe that he would be able to withstand Vincent's series of attacks.

She was very clear about the destructive power of Hellfire.

She immediately moved, leaving a series of afterimages behind her.

Chris rushed to block the flames just as they were about to hit Snick's nose.

She covered her hands and used her superpower, dispersing every black flame at an extremely fast speed.

When Vincent saw Chris, he quickly dispersed Hellfire.

Snick did not care, but he could not disregard Chris.

After all, she had helped him a lot and she was his special teacher.

Nevertheless, the high heat from the explosion still struck Snick's body.

When all the black flames were extinguished, many parts of his body were still bleeding.

He laid on the ground covered in blood.

Chapter 29

Chris looked at Vincent, her face surprised.

Although she had stopped the battle using her superpower, she was still injured.

Her hands were burned by Vincent's Hellfire and were completely red.

She was a high-level superpower user. To be able to become a special teacher in the Quinn School was enough to prove her strength.

However, she was still injured. This showed how powerful Vincent was.

A low-level superpowered person was able to injure a high-level superpowered person.

This had never happened before in the history of Quinn.

Vincent was the first.

"Little Junior, your combat power is very strong!"

Chris walked up and looked at Vincent excitedly. He licked his lips.

Chris put medicine on her hands. She then glared at Chris.

She knew Chris's personality too well. In fact, a lot of people knew Chris's personality.

Chris shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

It was not like he had never seen a person who awakened an S-Class superpower before. He had also fought quite a number of people.

However, this was the first time he had seen someone with such power.

No one present could have imagined that Vincent's Hellfire would be this strong.

It had evolved.

Vincent looked at Chris. He could feel an extremely strong pressure.

This pressure was not the same as the one he felt with Snick and the other three students.

"This guy is strong! Very strong!"

Vincent thought to himself.

Vincent was also filled with a vigorous fighting spirit, and his eyes were filled with excitement when he saw Chris.

Chris looked at Vincent and felt a headache coming on.

These two fellows, each of them was more infuriating than the other.

Previously, when Chris first entered Quinn, he was a major headache for all the teachers.

Who would have thought that there would be someone like him?

With Vincent around, what would happen around Quinn school was completely unpredictable.

It would definitely not be peaceful.

"Snick, get up if you're not dead. Go to the Infirmary!"

Chris was angry, but she did not know who to vent it on.

Snick, who was lying on the ground, became the punching bag.

In Quinn, Snick's reputation was not good. As Chris had personally recruited Vincent, she knew him very well.

She did not have to guess who started the fight first, as she knew it was probably Snick.

Snick still did not understand how a freshman could be so strong. When he heard Chris's instructions, he quickly turned around and left.

Before he left, he tried to warn and threaten Vincent.

Vincent pretended not to hear him.

A defeated opponent. If he was not afraid of Vincent killing him, why was he in such an apologetic state before?

"And the three of you. Today is the new and old special student recruitment meet-up. What has it got to do with you!"

After seeing Chris angry, the three of them shivered and quickly helped each other to leave.

At the same time, Angelina rushed out and hugged Vincent. Her face was filled with admiration.

"Vincent, you're too strong! One against four, one of them was even an S-Class senior, and you won!"

"You're not injured, right? If he hurts you, I'll make him lie in bed for the rest of the year!"

Chris was almost scared to death by Angelina's words.

Little ancestor! Don't add to the mess!

However, she could not say anything. After all, with their relationship, there was no problem with her words.

Avril, who was standing by the side, wanted to say something. She opened her mouth but then decided to just keep quiet.

Nabil also looked at Vincent in surprise.

They were living under the same roof together day and night; however, he did not know that Vincent was so powerful.

Chris's hands had already recovered. She looked at Vincent with a worried face.

"Vincent, please be careful of Snick. He is popular and is very good at winning people's hearts. Who knows what he plans to do with you?"

"What's there to be afraid of! If one comes, cripple one. If two come, cripple one pair!"

Chris said before Vincent could even speak.

Teacher Chris glared at him once more. "What has it got to do with you! Go away!"

Chris winked at Vincent evilly, turned around and walked away to look for a place to sit.

"Vincent, don't listen to him. He's a madman."

Chris looked at Vincent, her eyes full of warning

Vincent was stunned! 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂

A lunatic!

He had heard the teacher mention him before at the Exchange Place.

They were talking about him!

"Alright, everyone is here. Find a place to work. Let's get down to business."

Teacher Chris's eyes swept across everyone present.

Vincent also turned his head and looked around.

Other than the two sisters, Nabil, Chris, and teacher Chris, there were seven others.

These included the three people who had arrived earlier.

One of them was a tall young man wearing a hand-made suit. He looked at Vincent with hostility.

Vincent was very curious about who the young man was and why he was hostile to him.

However, he did not give it much thought.

Where there were people, there would be fights. This was a normal thing.

Teacher Chris found a seat facing everyone and sat down.

"Everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Chris Qeville. I'm a specially recruited teacher from the high-level Quinn Superpower School."

"I recruited most of you."

As she spoke, she glared at Chris and Vincent.

"Even if I did not recruit you, you must have an idea of who I am already."

"I won't say anything else. Let's get straight to business."

"There are a few reasons why I've asked you to come here today. Firstly, I want you to get familiar with each other. Secondly, I want to talk to you about the upcoming special enrollment competition."

Angelina sat down next to Vincent and explained to him in a low voice what the special enrollment competition was.

It turned out that Falcon Country held a national special enrollment competition every year. The purpose was to train the combat ability of the special enrollment students.

At the same time, they could select some good seedlings and focus on training them.

After all, resources were limited. They could only develop the country better by focusing the training on the strong.

"This year's special student competition is different from the previous years."

Chris continued.

"This year, there are restrictions on the number of people from each school who can participate in the competition."

"The three schools have five slots each this year. The other schools have about one to three slots each. There are a total of 1,818 people."

Chris's gaze swept across everyone once again.

"In other words, from now on, all of you are competitors."

Everyone present was well aware of this point.

However, this so-called competitive relationship did not seem to exist between the special enrollment students.

Many people even showed little to no interest in participating in the special enrollment competition.

After all, the annual rewards were only crystals, points, and psionic equipment.

Therefore, it was really difficult to get people interested in the competition.

Of course, there were three exceptions.

Crazy Chris looked at Vincent with excitement.

The young man in the suit stared at Vincent with hostility.

Vincent looked at everyone with a full fighting spirit.

However, what Chris said next made everyone's eyes widen in shock.

Chapter 30

"The top five students in this special enrollment competition will receive unconditional training from their respective schools."

Chris had a sincere look on her face.

"What! Unconditional training!"

"Does this mean that we no longer have to use points when using the superpower training room?"

"It's more than that! From the looks of it, I'm afraid we don't have to worry about all the cultivation resources anymore!"

…

All the specially recruited students widened their eyes. They were shocked by Chris's words.

They could not believe that the reward was real.

All of them were excited, especially those who had participated in the competition before.

Vincent, on the other hand, frowned.

The price of unconditional training was too much for a school; even the three great schools would find it extremely difficult to do it.

To be able to make such a decision for all the schools in the entire country, it was obvious that they had a motive.

But what was the motive?

Vincent could not understand.

However, regardless of the motive, the reward was not bad.

Hence, he did not say anything.

Chris then spoke again.

"Alright, this is the general situation for this year's special recruitment competition."

"As for the specific rules of the competition, we'll have to wait until the day itself."

"Now, please introduce yourselves."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chris looked at the first three people who arrived at the First Hall.

Hixton stood up and said in a low voice, "My name is Hixton Narrick. I'm in the third grade. I have an S-Class superpower, World-Burning Flames."

As he introduced himself, he looked at Vincent with a face full of battle intent and confusion.

Vincent's eyes were focused. He was also a fire-type superpower user.

This was the first time he had encountered someone who had the same superpower of the same element. It made him competitive.

"My name is Nyssa Theseus. I'm in the third grade. I have an S-Class control-type ability, Shadow Sky."

The beautiful lady with red hair and long legs, wearing a revealing midriff outfit, had a smile on her face whilst she introduced herself.

"Osmanthus. I'm in the third grade. I have an S-Class superpower, Scarlet Blood Wave."

The refined man introduced himself and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.

Chris looked at Vincent and licked his lips. He then stood up and introduced himself.

The others also introduced themselves one by one.

Finally, the student who was filled with hostility towards Vincent introduced himself.

"My name is William Marquez, S-Class superpower, Monster Affinity."

The corners of William's mouth curled up and his face was filled with pride. "It's a pleasure to meet everyone."

"Marquez? You're from the Royal Family?"

Someone looked at William in shock.

William nodded, and his face was full of pride. "Not bad."

Angelina saw William's attitude, and her face was filled with disdain. She snorted coldly.

"Greetings, Prince William. I'm the Knight Commander's nephew."

The person knelt down on one knee and gave a knight's salute. He was very pious.

"Get up. We're all classmates. I'll take care of you."

William had an amiable look on his face.

Vincent was even more surprised when he heard about William's superpower as compared to Hixton's superpower.

He did not expect that William's superpower was actually Monster Affinity.

It was the same as one of his own superpowers.

Although he usually used Hellfire, Vincent definitely did not underestimate his other two superpowers.

Vincent was very clear on how terrifying this superpower could be if it was fully displayed.

To be able to have an affinity with a monster, he was simply a natural-born beast trainer.

For example, back in Ellis City, Vincent had bought the Fury Hound to experiment with his superpower.

Although its level was not high and had a short temper, because of the monster affinity, it had a good relationship with Vincent.

Based on this, one could tell how terrifying the ability was.

It was then Vincent's turn to introduce himself.

After Vincent finished introducing himself, everyone frowned.

They realized that Vincent had not even started school yet.

It had only been less than a month since he awakened his superpower, yet he was already a beginner-level superpower user.

Moreover, his superpower was an S-Class elemental type, Hellfire.

Although fire was not a rare element, everyone had witnessed how powerful Vincent was when he fought Snick.

He had used his superpower so mysteriously that he looked like a fire-type superpower user.

After hearing Vincent's introduction, William narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed before his eyes.

No one knew what he was thinking.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Nabil. I have an A-Class control superpower, Holy Light Binding."

Behind Nabil's thick glasses was a pair of dull eyes.

"A-Class superpower?"

Oscanthus looked at Nabil.

"A-Class, specially recruited?"

William sneered. 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪𝒅.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Nyssa frowned slightly. "I know about Holy Light Binding. It can bind the target's body for one second."

No one present could understand why a person with an A-Class superpower was specially recruited.

"I also have another A-Class superpower. It's a support-type ability with buffs."

No one knew whether Nabil was honest or slow-witted.

He did not seem to care about other people's opinions at all.

In fact, there was a possibility that he did not care at all.

"Dual abilities?"

Chris, who was initially uninterested, suddenly lights up. He looked at Nabil with a vigorous fighting spirit.

The quality of this year's freshmen was not bad!

Everyone looked at Nabil and was surprised.

Two superpowers were simply too rare.

Quinn was one of the three great schools in Falcon Country. There were more than ten S-Class superpower users. However, other than Nabil, no other students had two special superpowers.

It was indeed rare for someone to have two special superpowers.

However, this did not include Avril as she had yet to introduce herself.

"I have another superpower, and it's an A-Class, elemental type, 100,000 Lightning Strikes."

"Three superpowers!"

This time, even Vincent and those who knew about Avril's two superpowers looked at Nabil with a surprised expression.

Although two superpowers were rare, it was not unheard of. Everyone could accept it.

However, for someone to have three superpowers, it was ridiculous. They had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

There was no record of them in history.

In other words, Nabil was the first person to ever awaken three superpowers!

Nabil's three superpowers were even more surprising to Vincent.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he was shocked.

The three superpowers actually existed!

Furthermore, Nabil was still standing there.

This proved that even if his three S-Class superpowers were exposed, he would not be in any danger.

Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Vincent would not expose his three S-Class superpowers.

It could be observed how rare three superpowers were based on the people's reactions.

There was also a fundamental difference between an S-Class and an A-Class.

There was not even one student that possessed two S-Class superpowers. For him to have three S-Class superpowers would be too shocking.

As for the fact that superpowers could evolve, he will not mention it to anyone.

"Alright, we'll be classmates from now on. You guys have plenty of time to talk."

Chris stopped everyone's discussion. She then turned to look at Angelina and her sister to ask them to introduce themselves.

After Angelina and her sister finished introducing themselves, Chris stood up.

"Alright, I've finished the most important things for today's meeting. Now, let's talk about the school's arrangements."

"In order to select those who will participate in the special enrollment competition, I will be conducting a special training for you before school starts."

Chris smiled mysteriously. "At the same time, it's also a kind of selection process."

She did not mention how the special training would be conducted, nor did she mention the selection criteria.

She just notified everyone when to meet. After that, she dismissed the group, leaving everyone confused.

Chapter 31

"Hey, Vincent!"

On the way back to the dormitory, Angelina and Vincent were chatting happily when a dull voice came from behind them.

After they turned around, they saw Hixton, Nyssa, and Oscanthus.

Hixton was the one who called out Vincent's name.

"I also have a fire attribute superpower. It's fate. Let's get to know each other."

Hixton walked to Vincent and extended his right hand with a smile.

Vincent looked at Hixton's face. He looked fierce and his smile did not look friendly.

"Senior Hixton, please advise me."

Vincent could not tell what Hixton was thinking, but he did not back down.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so cautious!"

Hixton's face was a little awkward but he proceeded to maintain a normal expression.

"Actually, I..."

Vincent looked at Hixton's stuttering. He was puzzled.

Nyssa rolled her eyes at Hixton. She smiled and asked Vincent, "Actually, he wanted to ask you, how did you do Flash?"

"This..."

Vincent was stunned. He did not expect the three of them to ask about Flash.

Flash was an ability that he developed after the evolution of his superpower. It was very difficult for him to master.

Vincent had even failed a few times when he tried to use Flash.

He was actually practicing Flash when he fought against Snick.

There was probably some luck involved to be able to defeat Snick.

Moreover, Flash was Vincent's unique skill. It was very rude of them to ask so boldly.

Nasha, as if she could hear Vincent's thoughts, apologized.

"If it's difficult, then forget it. I apologize for our rudeness."

"However, you also know that a superpowered person wants to pursue and improve on the use of their superpower. If possible, please tell us."

Oscanthus pushed up his glasses and said, "We won't let you teach us for nothing in return."

"It's just that we don't really have anything to exchange at this very moment. If you believe in our credibility as three S-Class superpowered people, we guarantee that we will return you equal gifts in the future."

Hixton's face was red, but he did not say anything.

It was a difficult thing to bring up.

Vincent's eyes swept over the three of them.

Aside from Hixton's fierce expression, which made it hard for Vincent to see his good intentions, Nyssa and Oscanthus seemed very sincere.

After thinking for a while, Vincent decided to tell them about Flash.

He also did not forget about their promise.

Nevertheless, it was enough for them to befriend one another just in case they needed help in the future.

After all, everyone had a heart of gratitude. Even if they could not repay him now, they would definitely repay him in the future.

This was also the main reason why Doyle, the principal of Ellis School, and Chris, who was recruiting teachers for Quinn, wanted to help Vincent.

"The principle of Flash is not difficult. The main idea is that the requirements for controlling superpowers are too high."

Vincent began to explain. Although it was not very detailed, he explained what his focuses were and how to use Flash.

Hixton felt as if he had obtained a treasure. He expressed his gratitude towards Vincent with excitement.

Nyssa and Oscanthus were also happy. At the same time, they were also surprised by Vincent's talent.

They were amazed that he was able to think of such an unconstrained combat method.

Moreover, this method was not only for the fire element; it could also be used for all the other elements.

In other words, if Vincent's method was made known to all, the elements that were ranked top in attack power would become even more powerful.

The three of them then left. Angelina looked at Vincent with a puzzled expression.

"Vincent, are you having a fever? Why would you share such an important skill with the others?"

"The special training selection will start tomorrow. Aren't you afraid that they will use this against you?"

Avril was also puzzled, but she did not ask.

Nabil frowned, as he thought about the method that Vincent had just mentioned.

Vincent smiled.

"It's not to say that a secret has been exposed. It is just a change in one's thinking."

"Besides, I've practiced for three days, but I still can't completely master it. How can they master it in one day?"

Vincent did not mean to look down on anyone. He just wanted to give it another try.

He had developed this method for his superpower. Therefore, it was natural for him to have a better understanding of it compared to the others.

However, even he could not completely master it. He did not believe that anyone could have a better understanding of the method than him.

Angelina was not a fool. On the contrary, she was very smart. She immediately understood Vincent's explanation and smiled brightly again.

When Avril heard Vincent's explanation, she felt inexplicably relieved.

Nabil was still thinking.

None of them knew that behind a tree that was not far away, William looked at Angelina who was smiling happily and clenched his fists tightly.

…

The next day, Vincent received another notification from Chris in the chat group.

He instructed everyone to go to the battlefield.

The battlefield was a place where students practiced their combat abilities.

The battlefield also had all kinds of training equipment and testing equipment.

By the time Vincent and Nabil arrived at the battlefield, everyone else had almost arrived.

William was talking to Angelina.

Behind him, there were three people.

They were the three people who greeted him at the meeting the day before.

Angelina was annoyed. Everyone could see her annoyance through her brows.

It was obvious that she was extremely unhappy talking to William, but she could not leave.

However, William did not seem to notice her annoyance at all.

When Angelina saw Vincent, the annoyance on her face disappeared.

"Vincent! You're here!"

Angelina went to Vincent and hugged his arm.

William remained in place. His face was filled with embarrassment. He then looked at Vincent. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger and killing intent.

He shot a look at the three people behind him. The three people looked at Vincent and nodded back at William.

After everyone had arrived, Chris clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.

"I've gathered everyone here today for the special training I mentioned previously."

Vincent looked at Chris. "Teacher Chris, how will the special training be conducted?"

Other than the superpower training room, the special training in the school was very boring to Vincent.

After all, Vincent had already grasped the skills that he had gained in the wild.

He believed that it would be more practical to go to the wild a few more times.

Chris revealed a mysterious smile.

"Since it's a special training, I naturally won't disappoint anyone."

"Last night, I submitted the special training plan to the principal of the headquarter. The principal has already approved it."

"Next, I would like to announce that the special training for this year's special enrollment competition has officially begun!"

After saying that, Chris looked at everyone. She saw everyone's disinterested looks. However, she did not feel embarrassed at all and merely shrugged her shoulders.

"This special training selection is divided into five parts: psionic control, usage of superpowers, physical fitness, combat strength, and combat ability."

"The top five students with the best overall results will participate in this year's special enrollment competition."

Chris walked and stood beside a small silver house.

"Today, we are going to select two captains through the simulation duel equipment."

Chapter 32

The simulated duel was a new device introduced by Quinn for the year.

According to the settings, the simulated duels could be used to fight monsters or people of different levels and abilities.

It was used to test one's ability to fight.

The fights were no different from the usual duels, but one would not actually be in mortal danger or get injured from it.

The simulated duel prioritized the students' safety to the maximum extent.

At the same time, it would also ensure that battle maniacs like Chris would not go around looking for people to fight.

Chris wiped her waist with her left hand and took out a blue folder.

"When I read your names, please enter the simulator. Your respective levels have already been set."

"The equipment will match you with your opponents, according to your names."

She opened the folder. "Nyssa."

Nyssa took a step forward. Aside from encouraging Hixton and Oscanthus, she also smiled at Vincent.

She opened the door of the simulator and walked in.

The moment she closed the door, a ray of light shot out from the top of the simulator and slowly spread out into the air.

Nyssa was standing inside, on a vast prairie.

Less than five meters away from her was a high-level monster known as the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger.

The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger was a high-level monster. It was as fast as wind and lightning. It could also spit out explosive thunder balls.

It was very difficult to deal with.

"This is the viewing screen of the simulation console. We can see Nyssa's entire battle through the screen."

Chris introduced the console to the puzzled crowd.

On the screen, they could see that Nyssa was fully focused on the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger in front of her. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger's eyes were filled with ferocity. It bent its body; it looked like it was about to pounce.

The wind blew the grass low. The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger roared and suddenly pounced on Nyssa.

Nyssa dodged it and threw her right hand at the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger.

A cloud of black gas hit the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger.

The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger landed on where Nyssa was standing before. Its front claws clawing wildly.

At the same time, Nyssa stood beside the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger and pulled out the psionic gun on her waist.

Bang!

The psionic bullet hit the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger's head.

The Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger fell to the ground. It then stood up and shook its head in confusion.

A bloody hole appeared on the side of its ear.

"Eh? What's going on?"

Angelina looked at Vincent with a puzzled expression.

Avril glared at Angelina.

"The Shadow Canopy can seal the target's five senses, but once attacked, it will come into contact."

Angelina grinned at Avril and stuck out her tongue.

William, who was standing at the side, saw this, and his eyes were filled with gloom. He asked his underlings behind him in a cold voice, "Have you prepared what I asked?"

One of the underlings had a fawning look on his face. "Prince William, I'm ready. Hehe, I'll teach him a lesson later."

The battle between Nyssa and the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger continued.

Nyssa's battle method was very advantageous.

She restricted the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger's movements through the Shadow Canopy while shooting with her psionic gun.

Ten minutes later, Nasha successfully killed the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger. Although she consumed a lot of physical strength and superpower, she did not receive any damage.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, the Saber-Toothed Thunder Tiger did not touch Nyssa at all.

"Nyssa Theseus wins!"

The simulator rang with an electronic sound.

Kacha!

The simulator turned on once again, and Nyssa walked out.

She looked exactly the same as before. She did not look like she had used up too much stamina or power.

Everyone including Nyssa had puzzled expressions. Chris then gave an explanation.

"The simulated duel device doesn't really allow you to fight. Instead, it collects your spirit to form a spiritual body."

"You would feel like a long time has passed, but in reality, you only used one-tenth of the usual time."

Everyone checks their phones for the time. They then realized that only ten minutes had passed since Nyssa entered and exited the simulator.

Nyssa, on the other hand, felt like the battle had lasted more than a hundred minutes.

"Hixton."

Bald Hixton took a step forward, bowed to Vincent, and turned to walk towards the simulator.

Vincent did not expect Hixton to bow and was immediately stunned.

Oscanthus and Nyssa walked over.

"When we went back yesterday, Hixton practiced Flash overnight. Although he was still unable to use it, his control over his power was much stronger."

"He was expressing his gratitude to you."

After listening to their explanation, Vincent actually felt a little embarrassed.

Others were curious about the reason Hixton had bowed to Vincent. Chris on the other hand was extremely shocked.

He knew Hixton well and had fought against Hixton before.

He was very clear about Hixton's arrogance. Even when he was beaten to the ground by Chris, he did not say a single word, beg for mercy or admit defeat.

Yet today, he suddenly bowed to Vincent. It was clear that he truly respected Vincent from the bottom of his heart.

A third-year senior respecting a freshman who had yet to officially enter the school.

How could Chris not be shocked?

"Vincent, it looks like I've underestimated you!"

Chris walked in front of Vincent and said excitedly.

Vincent just shrugged.

On the projection screen, Hixton appeared to be standing in the woods. His opponent was an agility-type Esper.

According to the display, Esper's ability was an S-Class Shadow Kill.

Shadow Kill, an S-Class agility-type Esper superpower. It could be perfectly hidden in places with shadows.

Plus, the battle was taking place in the woods, so it was not good for Hixton at all.

Although Hixton looked like a fierce, and boorish man, in actual fact, he was actually a very meticulous person.

As the circumstances were incredibly disadvantageous to him, Hixton released his superpower and ignited the surrounding trees.

In the forest, a small flame was likely to cause a big fire.

Plus, Hixton used his World-Burning Flames superpower.

"Hixton Narrick wins!"

Just as he lit up a large area of trees, the voice of the simulated dueling device rang out once again.

No one had any objections to this decision.

After lighting up the entire forest, it was obvious that victory was only a matter of time. Even assault-type superpowered people would not be able to survive, let alone agility-type superpowered people.

Therefore, it was naturally understandable for a decision to be made earlier.

And just like that, it was Vincent's turn.

Something worth mentioning was that William had been ranked ahead of Vincent.

His opponent was an S-Class fire Elementalist.

Although he had good combat experience, his psionic power was exhausted in the end, and he died under the Monster Affinity that William controlled.

From the beginning to the end, William stood in place and did not move. He even used a white bear as a backrest and looked very comfortable.

His fighting strength made everyone fearful of him.

When facing someone with a Monster Affinity superpower, no matter how strong someone was, there was nothing they could do.

"Vincent, go for it!"

Just as Vincent stepped into the simulator, Angelina's voice sounded.

Vincent turned his head and smiled at Angelina but did not say anything.

After seeing the two of them, William was so angry that his chest was heaving up and down. He called for his underling.

"Change his opponent to the king level!"

The underling jumped in fright and explained quickly, "Prince William, this won't do! If his opponent is the king level, it will be too obvious."

"How about the advanced level? We can pretend that the equipment malfunctioned."

Prince William was very unwilling, but he knew that it was the better option, so he nodded.

Chapter 33

Vincent looked at the enclosed space that had nothing but a chair. His face was filled with boredom.

He thought that a high-level device like this would be magical.

"Please enter your name."

The gentle voice instructed. It felt like it was coming from everywhere.

"Vincent Amore."

"Checking now, please wait a moment..."

"Check complete, input correct, starting simulation battle."

"Please sit on the chair."

Vincent followed suit and sat on the chair.

As he sat on the chair, his vision went black.

When he could see again, he was at the Colosseum.

There were eight iron gates surrounding him, and behind the iron gates was a black hole.

Vincent frowned.

The Colosseum was built in the Middle Ages.

He did not expect Quinn to include it in the scene.

"Roar!"

The iron gate in front suddenly opened, and with a loud roar, a red monkey dashed out.

The monkey had a rooster-like crown on its head, and its tail was made up of a few long peacock tails.

"Bird-tailed Cockscomb Monkey!"

Vincent's eyes widened.

Bird-tailed Cockscomb Monkey, also known as the Cockatoo, was a high-level monster with an extremely high IQ. It could use psionic weapons just like humans. It was one of the most difficult monsters to deal with amongst all other high-level monsters.

Outside the simulator, Chris was shocked when she saw the Colosseum.

As far as she knew, there was no such scene in the simulator.

When the Cockatoo emerged, most of the people present had their mouths agape.

Beginner versus advanced?

This was too unreal!

Never heard of it!

Could it be that Quinn had a high score for Vincent's combat ability?

Chris licked his lips again, his body trembling, and the desire to fight in his eyes burst out.

The sisters and Nabil had worried faces.

The others were shocked.

Only William had a cruel smile on his face.

"Not good! There's a problem!"

Chris's expression changed drastically.

Although the simulator would not harm Vincent, such a problem meant that there was a bug in the device.

Who knows what problems might arise in the future?

If it was someone with strong mental endurance, it would be fine. However, if it was someone who had a slightly weaker mental endurance, it might leave a psychological scar.

This was the only way the device could cause harm to the students.

It was also the most difficult issue to treat.

Angelina heard that there was a problem with the simulated dueling device, and her face was filled with panic.

"Teacher Chris, please explain clearly! What's the problem?"

"This scene doesn't exist in the simulated dueling device. Moreover, the device had clearly set Vincent's level by mistake."

Chris explained the situation to Angelina while taking out her phone to make a call.

"Oh my God! Look! Vincent won!"

Just as Chris dialed the number, she heard Hixton's surprised voice.

"What? He won?"

Chris quickly looked up at the projection screen.

On the screen, Vincent was kneeling on one knee and was covered in blood. In front of him was a charred corpse that looked like charcoal.

One could tell that this was the corpse of the Cockatoo.

"What's going on?"

Chris opened her mouth in shock.

Six minutes ago, in the simulator.

Vincent looked at the Cockatoo in front of him and clenched his fists.

Although it was the first time that he faced a high-level monster, Vincent was not afraid at all.

Firstly, it was because this was only a simulated battle and there was no real danger to his life. This allowed Vincent to have no worries at all.

The second was because he had the chance to fight against a high-level monster. Vincent could test out his strength and gains during this period of time.

To him, this was a good thing.

"Squeak Squeak!"

The Cockatoo barked at Vincent a few times and rushed forward directly.

Vincent's gaze was focused. He waved his hand and cast the Hellfire net. He wanted to wrap the net around the Cockatoo.

However, the Cockatoo was very agile. It dodged and at the same time grabbed a handful of soil and threw it at Vincent.

Vincent drew out his Black Battle Saber and slashed it open. He then followed up with the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

The Cockatoo did not expect Vincent to react so fast.

The Collapsing Mountain Strike was so strong, it sent the Cockatoo flying.

"Squeak Squeak!"

The Cockatoo let out a blood-curdling scream. It crashed into the wall with a bang.

Vincent did not want it to escape. He jumped to reduce the distance between him and the Cockatoo. Three Hellfire arrows were shot out.

The eyes of the Cockatoo turned red. It was obvious that it was enraged.

"Roar!"

The Cockatoo opened its mouth and roared. This sound was like the roar of a tiger and dragon. It was not something that a monkey could produce.

The roar was very loud. It was so loud that it formed sound waves and shattered the Hellfire arrows. Moreover, its momentum did not decrease.

Vincent was in the air. There was no way for him to dodge. He was hit hard.

Not only was he sent flying, but his body seemed to have been cut open by a knife, with countless wounds appearing.

Fresh blood instantly stained his clothes. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

His Black Battle Saber fell onto the ground, not too far away from the Cockatoo.

The Cockatoo jumped up and down beside the saber and grabbed it.

It mimicked Vincent and used a Collapsing Mountain Strike.

However, it was obvious that it was just a demonstration. Although his saber was being used, the power of the Collapsing Mountain Strike was not strong.

At the same time, Vincent felt the Cockatoo's sonic wave attack head-on. He had also used up all his old strength and had yet to regenerate new strength.

Although he tried to dodge it with all his strength, he did not dodge it completely.

He was sent flying once again and spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, he already had a plan in place. He had set up the seed of Hellfire.

He was just waiting for the Cockatoo to come nearer before he detonated it.

A high-level monster was still a high-level monster after all. For Vincent, it was still too strong.

It was so strong that he did not even have time to react.

If he was not careful, he would end up being restrained everywhere.

"Flamethrower Combo!"

Vincent mobilized his power forcefully and launched a set of attacks at the Cockatoo.

The Cockatoo was shocked by the sudden appearance of flames and continued attacking.

Vincent did not assume that one attack would be enough to kill the Cockatoo.

He was not even the slightest bit upset. Instead, he used the Flamethrower Combo again.

Vincent kept using the Flamethrower Combo, and the Cockatoo kept dodging.

It panicked at first but became used to the attack.

The Cockatoo was no longer afraid of Vincent's Flamethrower Combo.

At the same time, Vincent revealed a victorious smile.

"It's over."

Vincent said softly, "Explode!"

Boom!

The Cockatoo was swallowed by the black flames beneath its feet and instantly turned into charcoal.

It turned out that the reason why Vincent spent so much energy on the Flamethrower Combo was to force the Cockatoo to move.

However, due to the excessive consumption of his power, although the Hellfire seed was detonated, it was not able to burn the Cockatoo to ashes.

Fortunately, Hellfire was very strong. Although it only burned the Cockatoo for an instant, it still killed it.

If it was not killed, Vincent would have been killed instead although it would not be for real.

Just as Vincent thought the simulation was over, the other seven iron gates opened.

Chapter 34

"There's more?"

Vincent's eyes widened.

The people outside the simulated dueling device had the same expression.

"Teacher Chris, what's going on?"

Angelina looked anxiously at Chris.

Chris was also at a loss.

There may have been an error with the setup earlier but after seeing what was happening, it was clear that it was not the setup's problem.

Clearly, someone was targeting Vincent. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

However, Chris did not know who was targeting Vincent.

No one noticed that William, who was standing behind the crowd, was revealing a sinister smile.

"This time, I want to see whether you'll still have the dignity to face Angelina!"

His underling had a fawning look on his face.

"Prince William, don't worry. The program I created will not only hurt his self-esteem."

"Oh? There are other uses?"

William looked at his underling with a slight surprise.

His underling had on a proud expression. "Prince William, to put it bluntly, the simulated dueling device is to create a virtual spiritual body."

"The principle is very simple, but what if his spiritual body was really allowed to enter the battle, the result will be..."

"Hehehe!"

At the end of his sentence, he revealed a sinister smile.

When William heard this, his brows raised.

What a good fellow, a ruthless person!

Seems like William will have to be careful in the future. If such a wicked person were to cause trouble, it would be impossible to control him.

Although he thought so in his heart, William's face was filled with a smile of approval.

"Not bad! You did well in this matter! I will reward you in the future."

The person quickly thanked him; his face was filled with excitement.

Little did he know that in William's heart, he had already been pushed to the bottom.

Everyone was discussing Vincent's battle outside the simulator. Chris even contacted the school urgently for help.

Inside, Vincent's entire body was trembling. His eyes were tightly shut, and his brows were furrowed.

Inside the Colosseum, Vincent quickly stuffed a few all-rounded recovery pills into his mouth and picked up his saber.

He looked at the seven high-level monsters with a solemn expression.

"Black-and-White Ringed Snake! Each ring on its body was like a self-destruct button. The damage range is wide."

"Flying Centipede! Thousand-legged wings. It uses its wings to launch sound wave attacks. Thousand-legged legs are like sharp blades."

"Punching Mole! Its attack speed is fast, and its agility is high. Each punch has a force of over a thousand pounds."

"Fire-Breathing Lizard! It can spit out flames that melt alloys."

"Killer Vine! Purple Vine contains lethal poison."

"Gale Bird! Possesses the ability to spit out wind blades."

"Sulfuric Acid Toad! Its entire body is filled with a high concentration of sulfuric acid. It also spits sulfuric acid balls. The sulfuric acid balls can turn the ground into lethal poison."

Seven high-level monsters. They were not something that Vincent could easily deal with. The slightest carelessness would result in death.

However, he had to fight against seven of them at the same time. Vincent felt that it was simply impossible.

"Quinn really overestimated me."

Vincent smiled bitterly and decisively admitted defeat.

However, the expected withdrawal from the battle did not happen. Instead, it aroused the ferocity of the seven monsters.

The seven monsters attacked Vincent directly.

Vincent was dumbfounded. Why was he unable to withdraw from the simulated battle?

After seeing the seven monsters' attacks coming right at him and were about to hit his body, he quickly used Hellfire to form a protective barrier to shield himself.

The attacks of the monsters were not limited. They attacked one after another. Vincent could not even retaliate.

As for the escape route, it was completely blocked.

He could only take the beating passively as he could not retaliate.

After releasing Hellfire, his power that had just recovered a little depleted rapidly.

As long as his power was exhausted, death awaited Vincent.

Although it was only a simulated battle, Vincent did not like the feeling very much.

At the same time, he was also thinking about why he was unable to withdraw from the simulated battle.

Outside the simulator, everyone became nervous when they saw Vincent being surrounded and attacked.

Angelina's eyes were watery.

William and his three underlings were all happy. If it wasn't for the situation, they would have laughed out loud.

The school staff had also arrived. They were checking the simulator and tried to stop the simulation.

However, no matter how much they tried, they could not solve the issue.

They were also afraid of hurting Vincent, so they could not use violence directly.

For a moment, everyone did not know what to do.

In the simulator, Vincent sat on the chair with his fists clenched. His facial features twisted together, and a wisp of scarlet blood was visible at the corner of his mouth.

In the Colosseum, Vincent was still thinking of a solution.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

He thought that he could hide his three S-Class superpowers, but now it seemed like he could not hide it anymore.

Monster Affinity!

Vincent decided to use Monster Affinity.

Although Vincent had never really used Monster Affinity in battle before, its power was extremely strong.

The moment Vincent used Monster Affinity, the seven high-level monsters stopped their attacks and looked at Vincent in a daze.

Outside the simulator, the people watching Vincent's battle through the projection screen were all stunned. This included William and his underlings.

It was not because they had discovered Vincent's Monster Affinity superpower.

It was because they did not understand why the monsters had stopped attacking Vincent.

"What's going on?"

William turned to look at the underling with doubt in his eyes.

The underling was shocked by William's gaze.

"Prince William, I don't know either!"

His tone was extremely anxious as he quickly took out the small black box from his storage ring and began to operate it.

"Hurry up and finish him off! I want him dead! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

William gritted his teeth and said fiercely whilst turning his head to look at the projection screen.

The seven high-level monsters looked at Vincent with curiosity. They looked at each other, completely unable to understand what was going on.

They were clearly filled with endless malice towards this human. Why couldn't they bear to attack him?

"How is it? Why hasn't the monster attacked him yet?"

William asked his underling once again. This time, his tone was extremely stern and filled with disgust.

"Soon! Soon!"

The underling's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat. Both of his hands were rapidly operating the black box as he spoke.

"Found it!"

The staff member who was desperately searching for the simulated dueling equipment suddenly spoke. He was very surprised and relaxed his tone.

"What's going on?"

Chris asked hurriedly with a worried expression.

Angelina and the others also surrounded him.

"Someone tampered with the data of the simulated dueling equipment using external means."

The staff frowned.

External means required someone to tamper with the simulator directly.

In other words, the person who caused Vincent to encounter such a situation was at the scene.

However, at this point, the staff had no way to continue investigating.

The other party wanted to control the monster to attack Vincent and activated the control mode.

This left a clue for the staff.

Chapter 35

The expression of the underling who was operating the black box suddenly changed.

"We've been discovered!"

He did not hear the staff member's words as he was too focused.

When he was discovered, he tried to back out quickly, but it was too late.

Meanwhile, William had already distanced himself from the hacker underling whilst the staff member was speaking.

"Naberius!"

Chris's face turned dark as she walked towards the student who had just put away the black box in a swift motion.

"Ah!"

The student raised his head and looked at Chris's expression.

His face was filled with panic.

"Law enforcement team! Take him away and report him to the school. He is suspected of killing a classmate and will be expelled."

Chris said coldly.

"No! No! I'm innocent!"

Naberius was panicking and struggled.

"Prince William! Save me! Save me!"

Everyone's gaze turned towards William.

This person was following William, and everyone present knew that.

Furthermore, Naberius had no enmity with Vincent. If it was not for William, he would not have attacked Vincent.

William's expression turned ugly, and he cursed silently in his heart.

"What does it have to do with me! Attacking a classmate for personal grudges! Serves you right!"

"I, William, swear in the name of the royal family that I will not fight with someone like you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand angrily and turned his head away.

"Prince William! Prince William!"

Naberius was still shouting and struggling, but it was of no use.

Everyone also knew that this matter must have been ordered by William, but because he was a member of the royal family, no one said anything.

Chris only gave William a stern glance, then turned around and walked back to the simulator. She looked at the staff with a worried expression.

"The student inside will be fine, right?"

The staff answered without raising his head, "His spiritual power will suffer some damage."

"But this student's willpower is very strong, so the damage to his spiritual power is very small."

"Please, you must save him. He's the best student in this batch."

Chris was afraid that the staff did not know Vincent's importance. She quickly reminded them. 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Everyone heard Chris's comment, but no one said anything to refute it, and no one showed any dissatisfaction.

A new student who had not even started school yet had killed a high-level monster. Plus, he was only a beginner-level superpower user.

Everyone knew that there was no one else who could achieve such a feat at Vincent's age and level.

Even battle maniac Chris had a look of admiration for Vincent.

However, this did not affect his desire to compete with Vincent.

Angelina walked in front of William. Her face was filled with anger.

"William, I'm telling you, if anything happens to Vincent, I won't let you off!"

Hixton and the two others also looked at William with hostility.

In the world of superpowered people, their family background was a form of support. Therefore, William did not feel much pressure.

Avril walked to Angelina, hugged her shoulders, and turned to leave without saying anything.

She glared at William before leaving.

Chris turned to look at William and grinned. "Very good, very good. I'll remember you, Prince William."

Nabil was the most direct. With a flip of his hand, he summoned 100,000 Lightning Strikes.

A ball of lightning crackled in his hand, and golden lightning wrapped around his palm.

Inside the simulator, Vincent's seven orifices were bleeding, and his entire body was twitching.

In the Colosseum, the hostility of the seven high-level monsters towards Vincent was reduced. They even started to feel close to him.

Of course, Vincent did not know what was happening outside the simulator.

He was still trying his best to use Monster Affinity to stabilize the seven high-level monsters.

Kacha!

Crash!

Just as Vincent's power was about to be exhausted, his surroundings shattered like glass.

In the simulator, Vincent suddenly opened his eyes and panted heavily.

He only felt pain all over his body. He felt like his hands and feet were no longer his.

At the same time, the simulator's door was opened from the outside.

Angelina was the first to rush in and cradled Vincent.

"Vincent, are you okay? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Angelina was panicking. Her hands searched Vincent's body, her face full of worry.

Vincent was completely powerless. He could not even answer. He could only smile at Angelina. His smile was not good-looking after the battle.

When Avril saw Vincent's expression, she was also very worried, but she did not show it.

"Hahaha! Good kid, you're not dead! Not bad! Not bad! As expected of the man that I value!"

Chris saw that Vincent was still alive and heaved a sigh of relief secretly, but he did not seem to care.

He did not care about Vincent's safety. He was only concerned about whether he could fight Vincent.

Vincent was able to kill high-level monsters and he was only a beginner-level superpower user. He was also able to fight seven monsters at the same time. He seemed like he was undefeatable.

Although it was only a short period of time, it was enough to make him admire Vincent.

Nabil stood at the side. He did not say or do anything.

"Alright, let the Doctor check it out."

Chris walked in. She was followed by a doctor in a white coat.

Quinn's school doctor was a superpower user. He was an A-Class superpower healer.

He walked in front of Vincent. His hands were glowing with a green light.

He placed his hands five centimeters away from Vincent's body. He then walked around his body.

"This is unbelievable! Other than his spirit being exhausted, there isn't any problem!"

The school doctor's face was filled with shock. He then started to treat Vincent's spirit.

Ten minutes later, the school doctor left.

Vincent felt much better, and his body was filled with strength again.

"Vincent! Let me tell you... Sob, sob, sob!"

Angelina saw that Vincent was fine and wanted to tell him that William had framed him.

However, Avril covered her mouth.

"We'll be leaving first."

Avril glanced at Vincent and pulled Angelina away forcefully.

As the simulator had a problem, the selection of the team leader could not continue.

Vincent was confused as he did not know what had happened during the simulation battle.

Angelina looked like she had something to say, but she was pulled back by Avril.

He turned to look at Nabil and asked.

Nabil shook his head and kept quiet.

The others did not say anything either.

After that, Chris proceeded to announce that the selection was over. Vincent would be the captain and Chris would be the vice-captain.

No one objected to Vincent being the captain.

They put themselves in Vincent's shoes. They knew that no one could do it better than him.

There was also no objection to Chris as the vice-captain.

This was the man that represented Quinn and had beaten students from the other schools.

He was not invincible, but he had won more matches than he lost.

Quinn was ranked 12th in the trial tower and 4th in the student ranking competition.

Who could refute the decision to make such a strong man as the vice-captain?

Chapter 36

The night passed quietly. The next day, everyone gathered in the battleground once again.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Chris said, "Today, we will be testing the three attributes of superpower control, psionic ability usage, and physical fitness."

Superpower control depended on how much power one could compress.

Psionic ability usage was relatively more complicated. One had to check the mastery of the psionic ability comprehensively. This included changes in attack power, psionic ability, and so on.

Physical fitness was the easiest. The use of superpower and psionic ability was not required for this test. Students were only tested based on their ability to run at maximum speed and how long they could run for.

As Chris explained how they were going to test the three attributes, an old man suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The old man's beard and hair were all white. He was not tall and was wearing a black and blue long robe. He looked very kind.

The overall feeling that he gave was very profound, and his eyes were calm. However, his eyes would occasionally flash a few rays of starlight.

It was as if his eyes contained an endless starry sky.

When Chris saw the old man, her expression changed. She bowed quickly and greeted "Principal Sibis!"

Sibis Gaia was the principal of Quinn Advanced School of Superpowers, the Garrison General of Southeast Falcon Country, and the biological grandfather of Angelina and Avril. 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Sibis nodded at Chris and turned to look at Vincent and the others.

His gaze stopped at Vincent and Angelina for a moment.

"Not bad! All of you are not bad! In the future, Quinn will be proud of all of you!"

After encouraging the students, Sibis turned to look at Chris. "Teacher Chris, you will have to work hard next!"

Chris was overwhelmed by what he said and waved her hand hastily, gesturing that it will not be hard.

Chris did not even dare to breathe in front of Sibis.

However, this was not because she was afraid of Sibis. Rather, it was because Sibis's aura was too strong.

When she was talking to Sibis, she felt as if she was a student that had not graduated. She basically felt like a child again.

Sibis looked at the students, and finally, his gaze stopped at Vincent.

"Not bad! You're very good!"

He took the opportunity to look at Angelina and her sister who was standing beside Vincent.

He looked at Angelina in particular, his face full of doting and helplessness.

Angelina made a silent gesture at Sibis, and stuck out her tongue cutely.

Avril slapped her head, her eyes full of warning.

Sibis looked at the two sisters and shook his head dotingly.

"The strong are diligent and hard-working. The road ahead is full of thorns. I hope that you will ascend to the peak and look down upon all the heroes!" he said.

"Children, paint a picture of the prosperous times that belong to you!"

Before he finished speaking, Sibis's figure suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.

Everyone present was very excited, including William.

Sibis was a strong man. He could be considered one of the best in the entire Falcon Country.

He did not have the slightest bit of arrogance even though he was a member of the royal family.

Vincent looked at where Sybis had disappeared, his eyes shining brightly.

This was a truly strong man!

He could use his power freely and move wherever his heart wishes to go.

It did not seem like there was any danger, but he could clearly feel a strong destructive power circulating within his body.

In fact, it was similar to a volcano that had not erupted. A volcano may look like it is not dangerous, but it could erupt at any time and place.

"Falcon Nation only has five Garrison Generals. Principal Sibis is one of them..."

"So strong! We don't know when we will reach this level."

Everyone discussed in low voices, and the atmosphere was at a high.

"Congratulations, Vincent! You had been praised by Principal Sibis."

Chris walked in front of Vincent with an unconcealable battle intent on his face.

The others just glanced at him and did not pay much attention to him.

Vincent had fought against eight high-level monsters by himself the day before. Everyone did not have a problem with Sibis praising his combat ability and talent.

However, Vincent did not think so. He did not think that a powerhouse like Sibis would pay attention to him just because of the simulated battle yesterday.

There was definitely something that he did not know.

"Alright, students, let's continue."

Chris clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Next, the first item, superpower control."

When everyone heard Chris's words, they all stretched out their hands and summoned their superpowers.

However, Vincent was different. He summoned his psionic ability instead.

This is because he had been using his psionic ability to wrap his superpower ever since he started practicing superpower compression.

Therefore, he was unable to change it.

He also did not know that it was his method that caused his control to be better than everybody else's.

When everyone saw Vincent's method, they were all stunned.

It was really too unique and maverick.

The sisters and William all revealed shocked expressions.

They had practiced this method before, but it was impossible for them to master it.

They did not expect Vincent, who did not have any foundation, to be able to do it.

Chris's gaze swept across everyone's hands.

"Vincent is number one, superpower control level, advanced."

In Vincent's hand was a shotput-sized Hellfire ball.

"Chris is number two, superpower control level, advanced."

The ball in Chris's hand was one size larger than Vincent's.

"Avril is third, superpower control level, advanced."

The ball in Avril's hand was one and a half times larger than Vincent's.

She looked at the Hellfire ball in Vincent's hand and frowned.

She tried her best to compress it a little more, but the ball did not shrink.

After Chris recorded everyone's superpower control level, she had everyone withdraw their superpower.

"Next, let's move on to the second item, psionic ability control."

Chris glanced at Vincent.

Everyone else also looked at Vincent.

Vincent's control over his psionic ability could be clearly seen during the simulated battle.

If Vincent was in second place for this, no one would dare to claim first place.

This included Hixton and the other two third-year seniors. They did not dare to do better than Vincent.

"What's there to compete! Although I don't want to admit it, I admit that Vincent's control over his psionic ability is inferior," Chris said, whilst looking at the others with disdain in his eyes.

Although everyone knew that Chris was right, his appearance was very infuriating.

Teacher Chris thought about it and also felt like no one present could compete with Vincent and his control of his psionic ability.

"Since no one has any objections, I shall announce that Vincent is in first place in psionic ability control."

Vincent really wanted to speak up. However, after observing the situation at hand, anything he said would have been superfluous. In the end, he decided to not say anything and just kept quiet.

The psionic ability controlled competition for the others then began.

Unexpectedly, the person with the strongest control over his psionic ability was Nabil.

Chris and Avril were tied for third place.

Chris recorded everyone's results.

"The third event, the physical fitness competition."

Chris pointed at the battleground.

"Begin."

Everyone started moving.

In an instant, twelve afterimages appeared in the battleground.

Every single one of them was extremely fast and intertwined with one another. It was beautiful to see how motivated they were.

Chapter 37

Two hours later, only Vincent, Chris, Avril, and Oscanthus were still running.

Vincent had expected such stamina from Chris and Avril. However, he was surprised to see Oscanthus still running as well.

He did not look like someone who could run for long.

No one knew how many laps they had run.

Twenty minutes later, Oscanthus lost his balance and fell to the ground. He could no longer get up after the fall.

Oscanthus gave a bitter smile after seeing the three of them still running.

The three of them were not normal.

Their physical fitness was too good.

It was possible that even the fourth-grade students might not be able to do better than them.

Although Chris was not currently in battle, he used his fighting spirit to run.

This, along with the existence of his superpower, it was undeniable that his body was much stronger than an average person's.

Although he had already reached his limit, he could still persevere.

Vincent only had himself to rely on ever since he was young. He had persevered throughout every training, especially when he wanted to awaken his superpower.

Therefore, he was still far from reaching his limit.

Avril. Ever since she lost to Vincent, she used Vincent as her goal. She hoped to defeat Vincent one day, in every aspect.

However, her face became pale, and she was long gone.

Her legs felt like they were filled with lead. They were very heavy every time she tried to lift them.

Due to the lack of oxygen in her brain, her mind was in a trance, and she could not see clearly.

However, she had a firm belief in her heart, and that was to defeat Vincent, even if it was just running.

An hour later, Avril fainted and fell to the ground. Angelina was so scared that she ran to her and picked her up immediately.

After she was sure that her sister was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly.

How could she not know what Avril was thinking?

"Sister! Why are you doing this!"

Chris ran up beside Vincent and had an ugly expression on his face.

However, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Vincent, a new student is suppressing an older student. That's enough, give up."

Vincent bared his teeth at Chris, not saying a word.

Another thirty minutes passed.

Chris looked at Vincent, whose expression had not changed at all. He sighed, stopped walking, put his hands on his knees, and panted heavily.

"You win."

Chris shook his head and wiped off the sweat on his head. "What a freak. A guy who just awakened his superpower less than a month ago. How can he be so abnormal?"

Vincent stopped walking, looked at Chris, and shrugged.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He adjusted his breath calmly and recovered his strength.

It was already dark. Chris announced the results again. She then recorded everyone's results.

"That's all for today. You guys go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll meet here again. We'll gather and go to the wild."

Vincent's eyes lit up when he heard that.

They could finally go to the wild. 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

To Vincent, the wild was simply heaven.

In other words, where there were monsters, that was his heaven.

His heaven could be in the wild or even the black hole.

William squinted his eyes. His eyes flashing with a fierce light.

…

The next morning, the group gathered. Under Chris's lead, they boarded the bus and left Quinn.

There was a male teacher named Bixby who went with them.

He was handsome and very sunny.

Chris had specially invited him to help protect everyone.

Vincent looked at the scenery outside and asked curiously, "Teacher Chris, we're not going to Bick Town, are we?"

Chris nodded and explained, "As this is a special training for you, we're going to an intermediate monster activity area located five kilometers away from the city."

"There are a lot of intermediate monsters there. High-level monsters will also appear from time to time. It is located in the opposite direction of Bick Town."

Vincent nodded in understanding. He changed his posture, closed his eyes, and rested.

He could now completely control his own power.

In addition, the system had provided him with a lot of leveling up pills in his backpack. He could become an intermediate superpower user at any time.

Therefore, he was not worried about the place that they were going to this time. He was even looking forward to it.

Perhaps, he could even use this opportunity to level up.

However, after considering his classmates' levels, he decided to wait a little longer before he levels up again in order to not attract too much attention.

After all, it only took him one month to become a pretty high-level superpower user. It was too shocking.

He did not want to expose the fact that he was actually a three S-Class superpower user.

The gains outweigh the losses.

Three hours later, at about noon, the bus arrived in a town that was three times larger than Bick Town.

It was no longer accurate to call it a town. It should be called a city instead.

Hero City was the name of this city.

Everyone looked at Hero City with puzzled expressions.

They did not expect a city to be located in such a dangerous area.

As this area was too far away from Blazing City, no one had ever traveled to this area. This included Battle Maniac Chris.

"This city was built by the previous principals of Quinn."

Bixby saw that everyone was puzzled and took the initiative to explain.

"It has been able to withstand the attack of overlord-level monsters. It has also been more than a hundred years since it was built."

"Before the monsters appeared, one of the branches of Quinn School was located here."

As the bus got closer and closer to Hero City, Angelina said in a surprised tone, "Look! There are so many names on the city wall!"

"How is that possible! Why are people's names on the city wall? Damn it! There really is!"

"Why are there people's names on the city wall?"

When Chris heard this, her expression became solemn, and her mood was very down.

"You're not mistaken, those are indeed people's names..."

"However, they have all been sacrificed."

"Every name is your senior or my senior."

"Hero City, how many stones you see are how many warriors that have died fighting for the survival of the human race. There is an equal number of people's names engraved on them."

Chris looked at the crowd with a very serious expression.

"Or else, how do you think this city got its name?"

"How would you still have the peace of mind to study?"

Vincent was in awe.

It had only been a hundred years since the black hole appeared, yet so many people had died.

This group of people had died fighting for the future of the human race. They were worthy of being remembered.

The bus stopped at the entrance of Hero City. Everyone got off the bus and bowed deeply in the direction of Hero City.

This city was the resting place of all the past heroes. This was the respect that it deserved.

"Alright, let's go in. After passing through Hero City, the selection will officially begin."

Chris checked and confirmed their identities with the teacher who was guarding Hero City. Everyone was then beckoned to enter Hero City.

Three hours later, five hundred meters outside of Hero City, Chris said, "Alright, this place will be the center. Everything within a thousand meters will be your area of activity. Teacher Bixby and I will protect you secretly."

Chapter 38

Chris said to everyone, "Remember, please don't leave this area."

"This is considered the depths of the wilderness. The levels of monsters here are very high, and they are also very strong."

"Please remember, the purpose we are here is to train our combat strength. Killing the monsters is not the main purpose. Your survival here is more important."

Everyone nodded when they heard this to show their understanding.

Everyone then split up.

Angelina walked in front of Vincent. "Vincent, let's do it together. We had a great time working together!"

Avril pursed her lips. If she wanted to follow Vincent, she would just say it.

After thinking about it, it was indeed much easier and efficient to kill monsters together with Vincent in the wild.

However, Vincent did not want to go with Angelina.

Previously, he had no choice but to go with her.

This was because, during that time, the two sisters were besieged by the Ghost Wolves and were really afraid.

This caused Vincent to not be able to kill the monsters to his heart's content.

Also, it is different now. With Chris and Bixby's secret protection, they would not let the two sisters encounter such danger.

In that case, why should he not be able to kill monsters to his heart's content?

With this thought in mind, Vincent said, "Angelina, I'm sorry."

"The range set by teacher Chris is too small. It's of no value to my training."

"I need to go deeper and look for stronger monsters."

After hearing Vincent's words, Avril bit her lips. She really wanted to be like Vincent.

She wanted to be able to fight stronger monsters as well.

However, her combat ability was far inferior to Vincent's, so she could not go deeper into the wilderness.

"That's fine. The three of us together, we can take care of each other."

Angelina quickly said, "My ability is very strong, I can make it easier for you to kill monsters!"

Vincent shrugged. "Next time, I really can't this time."

He understood very clearly that bringing Angelina along would definitely help him kill monsters.

However, he could not act recklessly. It was too awkward.

Moreover, he wanted to try Monster Affinity this time.

The previous simulated battle had given him a new idea on how to use the ability.

If he used it well, it would greatly increase the efficiency of killing monsters.

Angelina could only nod her head after seeing Vincent's determined attitude.

Chris looked at Vincent and the others and just smiled. He jumped up and down a few times and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The older students all understood him. He had always been a lone ranger and disdained to travel with others.

Vincent left and William came to Angelina's side.

"Angelina, ignore that log. I'll go with you."

Angelina glanced at William with disdain.

With a cold snort, she pulled Avril and left.

Nabil and Nyssa also went with them.

William's expression froze, then turned gloomy.

After seeing Vincent depart into the wilderness, he called his underlying over and pointed at Vincent.

The underling who was called over was stunned. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Vincent.

After seeing everyone had left, Chris and Bixby looked at each other.

They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Chris, do you think that the god-slaying plan can really succeed?"

Bixby's face was full of hesitation and reluctance.

Chris's expression changed, and she looked left and right cautiously.

"This is a matter to be decided by the higher-ups. We are only responsible for carrying it out."

She revealed a look of reluctance. "I only hope that a few more students in this batch can survive."

Bixby sighed. "Time is too short. I hope everything goes smoothly."

Chris nodded and did not say anything.

On Angelina's side, Nyssa looked at Angelina who was depressed with an ambiguous expression.

"Angelina, you and Vincent have such a good relationship."

Angelina was stunned. She blushed and her face was full of shyness.

"Sister Nyssa, what are you talking about? We're just ordinary friends."

After seeing Angelina's response, Avril's head was full of black lines. She rolled her eyes directly at her.

The ambiguous look in Nyssa's eyes and the others became even more intense, but they did not say anything.

Although Angelina said that they were just ordinary friends, her expression said otherwise.

"Angelina, we have agreed to train hard."

Avril looked in the direction that Vincent left, and her tone was very determined.

"If you continue acting like this, the gap between you and him will only grow bigger and bigger."

It was uncertain whether she was talking about Angelina or herself.

Angelina looked in the direction where Vincent left. A hint of struggle flashed in her eyes. She then became determined.

"Sister, let's start training."

Vincent naturally did not know what was going on at Angelina's side.

At the same time, he chopped off the Horned Boar's head with a single strike and shook off the blood on his saber with a flick of his hand.

Horned Boar was an intermediate monster. Its skin was rough, and its flesh was thick. It relied entirely on the horn on its head to hit its target.

"It's too weak."

Vincent kept the Horned Boar's corpse and shook his head in dissatisfaction.

The upgrade pill in his backpack increased by one.

Vincent continued to go deeper into the wilderness.

With his current combat strength, if the monsters were not top-tier intermediate monsters, they would not be able to cause him much trouble at all.

It was likely that he could also fight ordinary high-level monsters for a bit.

When he was in the simulated battle, although he killed the Cockatoo, it was mainly due to luck.

However, he still discovered that his control over his superpowers had become much stronger.

This was especially so when he was multitasking. It was not difficult for him to use two S-Class superpowers at the same time.

His efficiency at killing the monsters had indeed increased by a lot.

An hour later, Vincent killed another five intermediate monsters.

He saw an endless mountain range not far away.

He changed out of his blood-soaked clothes and turned around to look behind him. Hero City had already disappeared from his sight.

He calculated the distance from where he left. He was almost out of the protection circle that Chris had set up.

Vincent took a deep breath, his eyes shining. He tightened the Black Battle Saber in his hand and dashed towards the mountain range.

Although he seemed to be very close to the mountain range, Vincent ran for more than two hours before reaching the foot of the mountain.

He calculated that it was about three thousand meters.

He killed more than ten intermediate monsters whilst getting there.

So far, he had not encountered a single high-level monster.

He recalled Chris's explanation. Vincent was certain that this mountain range was part of the defensive mountain range.

The so-called defensive mountain range was a safety circle that humans had set up for safety.

This safety circle was made up of countless mountains.

With these mountains as the boundary, the monsters in the mountains were mostly of intermediate-level.

The monsters outside the mountains were at least high-level monsters and it was difficult to see intermediate-level monsters there.

For superpowered people like Vincent and the others, the area outside the defensive mountain range was simply a place to kill. 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Even special-class or lord-class superpowered people would die if they were careless.

Vincent did not plan to leave the defensive mountain range. Instead, he planned to start his own farming plan there.

He could attract other monsters to come over by controlling them using Monster Affinity.

Although doing this will not give him much combat experience, that was not his goal anyway.

What he truly wanted was a superpower upgrade gem.

He did not know how the system would judge his performance, nor did he know how to obtain it.

However, so long he continued to kill more monsters, he knew that he would have more opportunities to obtain it.

Chapter 39

After finding a valley that was shaped like a mouth of a gourd, Vincent began his plan.

Just as Vincent started preparing, a red liquid suddenly shot out from behind him.

Vincent instinctively swung his saber to block it.

Dang!

His Black Battle Saber instantly melted, leaving a gap.

Vincent's pupils constricted.

The temperature was so high.

Although he was shocked by the situation, Vincent did not stay put and moved quickly instead.

At the same time, a giant python with a triangular head darted out and opened its bloody mouth.

Its four poisonous fangs flashed and emitted a cold light. It was targeting Vincent's neck.

"Lava Python!"

Vincent shouted in surprise.

Lava Python, a high-level monster that lived in lava. Its skin was rough, and its flesh was thick. Its venom was not only extremely poisonous, but it was also extremely hot.

There was no lava around, so it was impossible for a monster like Lava Python to exist.

This was the main reason why Vincent was surprised.

Although he was surprised, he was not afraid.

The Lava Python tried to attack Vincent twice but failed.

It coiled around the spot where Vincent was standing before and stuck out its tongue. Its eyes were ice-cold.

Vincent twisted his saber, stomped on the ground, and dashed towards the Lava Python.

In the wilderness this round, Vincent did not use Hellfire.

This was because all of the monsters that he faced were too weak.

Although he was currently facing the Lava Python, a high-level monster, Vincent still did not plan to use Hellfire.

Nevertheless, he would not hold back if he was faced with a life-threatening situation.

Clang!

Vincent's saber struck the Lava Python's body, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

However, it did not cause any damage to the Lava Python. It did not even leave any marks.

Vincent quickly flipped over to dodge. He looked at the Lava Python and then looked at the saber that had been cracked open. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"This defense is indeed worthy for a monster that lives in lava."

Although his saber had been strengthened by the spiritual martial strengthening stone and became a C-Class Black Battle Saber, it was still too weak against a high-level monster.

The Lava Python did not move at all. It looked at Vincent with a very human-like look, full of ridicule.

It suddenly opened its mouth wide and spat out crimson venom continuously.

It was like a machine gun. It had also blocked all of Vincent's escape routes.

Vincent knew that he had to use his superpower.

He snorted coldly. "Playing with fire, you're still too inexperienced!"

He attached Hellfire directly onto his saber and used Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Whoosh!

The Hellfire saber seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as it split open the crimson poison directly.

Before the Lava Python could react, Vincent had attacked.

It split directly into two from the middle.

Its eyes still maintained a half-mocking and half-shocked expression.

Its wound was charred black, and the smell of flesh mixed with the stench of fresh blood wafted out, making one nauseous.

Vincent swung his saber. After looking at the large and small cuts on it, he shook his head helplessly.

"Looks like I really have to change my saber this time."

A C-Class Black Battle Saber was no longer enough for Vincent.

If he were to buy another, the lowest class would have to be B-Class.

However, a B-Class saber would cost him at least 30 million.

It was simply not something that he could afford.

Hence, he thought of using his points to exchange for a saber with the Quinn School; even so, it was at least 200 points.

He had used up a lot of points when he was using the superpower training room. As such, he did not have many points left.

"Phew! I need to kill more monsters."

Vincent looked at the dense forest in the defensive mountain range and grinned.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a high-level monster, Lava Python. Obtained B-Class psionic blade, Purgatory Blade."

"Do you wish to withdraw it?"

Just as Vincent was trying to figure out how to kill as many monsters as possible, the system's notification sounded. He was stunned for a moment, his face filled with shock after.

"Ah! B-Class psionic blade?"

Vincent took it out quickly from the system's backpack. Once he held it, he was unable to put it down.

The Purgatory Blade was completely black. There were red and fiery patterns on it.

The outline of the blade looked like a picture.

However, Vincent was unable to see what it was.

There were three deep and shallow blood grooves on both sides of the blade.

There were barbs all around the blood grooves.

One could foresee that if the Purgatory Blade pierced through a human or monster and was pulled out, there would definitely be a few pieces of flesh and blood stuck to it.

"The Purgatory Blade really lives up to the name, Purgatory."

The Purgatory Blade was different from the Black Battle Saber.

Its entire blade was made of psionic ore, which could reduce the user's consumption of psionic power.

At the same time, it could increase one's superpower.

Moreover, if the monster's spiritual crystal was installed, it could also have additional bonus attributes.

For example, the spiritual crystal of the Lava Python that Vincent had just killed could make the Purgatory Blade contain poison.

At the same level, the value of the blade would become ten times its original price. It was priceless.

After looking at the attributes of the Purgatory Blade, Vincent was once again shocked.

This Purgatory Blade could actually evolve by devouring psionic weapons.

Vincent had never heard of this attribute before.

However, when he thought about how the system had a superpower upgrade gem that could upgrade superpowers, it was not surprising that a weapon could evolve.

After seeing that his C-Class Black Battle Saber could no longer be used, Vincent chose to devour it.

When he pulled out the character panel, Vincent was filled with joy.

Due to the sudden appearance of the Lava Python, Vincent's plan was disrupted.

There was no way to continue using the mountain path. Thus, Vincent had to find another place.

After a long time of confusion and uncertainness, Vincent could roughly grasp the rules around the reward system.

The higher the monster's level, the stronger it was, and the more generous the system's rewards were.

Twenty minutes later, Vincent arrived at a lake.

The trees surrounding the lake were tall. Birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

It seemed like the perfect place for an ambush.

However, the water surface that seemed calm would occasionally bubble.

This made Vincent hesitate on setting the ambush location there.

Obviously, there was something wrong at the bottom of the lake.

Vincent pondered for a moment, looked around, and finally decided to carry out his plan of farming monsters at the lake.

However, before that, he had to deal with the potential danger in the water first.

He did not want there to be anything that would fight him for monsters.

He took the opportunity to test the power of his Purgatory Blade.

After taking out his Purgatory Blade, Vincent hit the bottom of the lake directly using the Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Boom!

The water column soared into the sky!

An angry roar was heard from the bottom of the lake.

Chapter 40

Vincent's eyes turned cold.

Judging from the sound, the monster at the bottom of the lake was likely a powerful opponent.

Whoosh!

A light blue shadow suddenly darted out.

It was about the same length as an adult's forearm.

Vincent dodged it. At the same time, he used his Purgatory Blade to sweep across it.

"Awooo!"

The monster let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. It struggled a few times and died immediately.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an intermediate-level monster, Shallow Leech. You have received one upgrade pill."

"Do you wish to take it?"

"Not for the time being."

Vincent looked at the Shallow Leech corpse that had half of its body hooked off by the Purgatory Blade. He was stunned for a long time.

He thought the monster would be terrifying. However, in the end, it was only an intermediate-level monster.

Moreover, the Shallow Leech's combat ability after leaving the water was very low.

It relied purely on its speed to attack people secretly.

According to the monster illustrations, the high-level Shallow Leech was as fast as a bullet.

Obviously, the shallow leech did not possess such speed.

However, Vincent was very curious. The Shallow Leech had always been in groups.

Why was there only one?

Vincent did not think too much about it. He put away the crystals and corpses. He then began to set up the surroundings.

Just as he turned his back, a bunch of shallow leeches suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake. They were not calm.

Vincent did not have time to dodge at all. He could only release Hellfire to wrap himself up.

He was not sure what would happen if he was hit by the Shallow Leech.

The blood-sucking characteristics of the Shallow Leech alone were enough to make it difficult for Vincent to escape.

The moment the Shadow Leeches touched Hellfire, they disappeared.

The kill notification in Vincent's mind kept ringing. He lost track of the number of kills he had gotten.

Ten minutes later, the system notification finally stopped.

This also proved that the Shadow Leeches were all dead.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for accumulating 1,000 items of the same type. The exchange function has been activated."

"Please wait a moment..."

"Ding! The exchange function has been activated. Please check it yourself."

Vincent did not understand what the function was, but he felt like it was similar to using points to exchange items in Quinn.

In fact, it was really similar.

It was just that the system's exchange function used a barter system instead.

Anything could be accepted. The system would give a value assessment and exchange it for points. One could then use the points to exchange for other things within the system.

The system had a variety of things, from sewing to top-grade SSS items. Everything was available.

This function made Vincent very happy.

It was like carrying an all-purpose department store!

This would undoubtedly solve all of Vincent's worries in the wild.

Missing medicine?

Small problem, find the system to exchange!

Broken equipment?

Small problem, find the system to exchange!

Uncomfortable living in the wild at night?

Small problem, find the system to exchange!

…

Vincent was immersed in the exchange function and was unable to extricate himself.

On one hand, it was really convenient.

On the other hand, the points that were needed to exchange for items were not high; even the highest SSS-Class psionic blade was only worth a few hundred million points.

What was the difference between that and giving it away for free?

In the outside world, if one did not have a few hundred billion psionic coins, there was no need to even think about buying anything.

Of course, this was just simply a thought.

If one really wanted to buy it, the psionic coins required were simply an astronomical figure.

And who would be poor enough to sell a psionic weapon of this level?

They were all used to exchange for other items of the same level.

To put it bluntly, it was bartering.

However, the system was different.

Everything could be exchanged for points. One could then proceed to purchase anything he wants. It was simply too convenient and easy.

Vincent took a long time to calm down.

As he continued to check the function joyfully, his expression suddenly froze.

An item like an upgrade pill that could be sold at a sky-high price was estimated by the system to be worth 0.01 points.

Even if Vincent had 1,000 upgrade pills and exchanged all of them, it would only be worth 10 points.

An all-rounded recovery potion that was worth 100,000 psionic coins was actually cheaper than an upgrade pill!

0.005 exchange points!

"This..."

Vincent felt like his dream was shattered.

If that was the case, it would not be easy to exchange for an SSS-Class psionic weapon.

Vincent sighed. He then continued to get busy.

However, the heavens seemed to be opposing him.

He had been ambushed again!

Vincent, who was already in a bad mood because of the exchange points, was immediately angered.

"F*ck! Are you done yet?"

He took his Purgatory Blade and immediately set Hellfire to its maximum and lashed out.

Dang!

The Purgatory Blade did not cause any damage.

"Eh!"

Vincent's arm went numb. He immediately knew that he had met a worthy opponent. He then used the recoil to flip himself over to increase the distance between them.

At the same time, a claw descended from the sky and landed on where he stood earlier.

The claw had three toes on the front and one on the back. Its entire foot was covered in green scales and was extremely thick.

Its one toe was three times the length of Vincent, and its thickness was twice the size of Vincent.

"F*ck! A Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Vincent looked at the monster that was the size of a small mountain and opened his eyes and mouth widely.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was a high-level monster and had an overlord-level existence. It had wings, could dive, fly, spew fire, and run at the speed of sound waves.

It was the only monster that could fight above its level and win.

In other words, the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex had the combat strength of a special-level monster.

"F*ck! F*ck!"

Vincent cursed twice. He put away his Purgatory Blade and turned to run.

With his current level and combat strength, fighting the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was not training at all. He was simply courting death.

However, although he did not want to fight with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did not mean that the monster would let him go.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex spread its legs and rushed towards Vincent.

Vincent ran fifty meters with all his strength, but compared to the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, it did not even have to take a step.

"F*ck! Why is there a Tyrannosaurus here!"

Vincent turned at a right angle and narrowly avoided the claws of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

As the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was facing a weak human like Vincent, it was very angry when it did not kill him in one stroke.

It roared. It then opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames at Vincent.

The flames were fan-shaped and covered a very large area. Vincent had nowhere to hide.

Similarly, William had arranged to follow Vincent.

After feeling the heatwave behind him, Vincent's expression changed drastically. He quickly released Hellfire.

The black flames completely enveloped him. The flames of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex could not harm Vincent at all.

However, there was a problem.

Hellfire consumed the psionic power in Vincent's body at an extremely rapid speed.

On the other hand, the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex's flames were an innate ability that did not consume any psionic power.

As time passed, it was only a matter of time before Vincent was burned to death.

"Monster Affinity!"

Vincent stuffed the psionic power recovery potion into his mouth as he casted Monster Affinity.

This caused the psionic power that was being consumed at an extremely fast rate to be consumed even faster.

This would happen regardless of how many bottles of psionic power recovery potion he consumed.

No matter how much psionic power recovery potion he consumed, it would still not be enough to make ends meet.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was suddenly stunned. The human in front of it gave it a very familiar feeling.

A voice in its heart kept telling it not to hurt him.

Monsters relied on their instincts to act. It was rare for them to think.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was the former.

It absorbed its flames and looked at Vincent with curiosity.

Vincent was also very surprised.

Although he knew how powerful Monster's Affinity was, he did not expect it to be so powerful.

He wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect it to really save his life.

As he heaved a sigh of relief, Vincent reassessed the power of his Monster Affinity.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex lowered its head. Its nostrils were bigger than Vincent's. Every time it breathed, Vincent's clothes and hair would fly up.

Vincent's muscles tensed up. He was afraid that the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex would swallow him whole.

The man and the monster stared at each other for ten minutes.

"Roar!"

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly raised its head and roared.

Vincent was shocked and took out his Purgatory Blade instinctively.

However, he did not expect to see the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex spread its wings and fly away instead.𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chapter 41

Vincent watched as the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex disappeared into the horizon. He let out a sigh of relief and ran.

He refused to stay in the area for half a minute longer.

It was too exciting!

Little did he know, at the same time, countless monsters were gathering on the plains ten thousand meters away from him.

There were many natural enemies among those monsters, but they were all resting peacefully. They were all lying quietly on the ground. They did not make any sound.

All of a sudden, there were dark clouds rolling by in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled on.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky. Dark clouds rolled by, and a huge dinosaur head emerged from the clouds.

If Vincent was there, he would definitely recognize the dinosaur as the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The monsters that were lying on the ground all lowered their heads after seeing the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex. Their eyes were filled with reverence.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed out from the dark clouds. It hovered in the air and roared fiercely in the direction of Hero City.

After hearing its roar, the monsters all roared in excitement. They then started to run.

As the monsters ran, the earth trembled. Their cries could be heard clearly from a thousand meters away.

Vincent went to the foot of the defensive mountain range again to continue his plan to kill monsters.

However, this time, he made up his mind to no longer use the fishing enforcement method. Instead, he would use Monster Affinity and Hellfire simultaneously.

After all, his main goal was not to train his combat ability but to kill monsters so that he could get rewards such as the superpower upgrade gem from the system.

After killing another high-level monster, the Crystal Rat, Vincent received another upgrade pill.

"Purgatory blade is indeed very useful."

Vincent looked at his purgatory blade. It did not have the slightest bit of blood on it. He was very satisfied with it.

It had been three hours since he had escaped from the claws of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

He had killed five high-level monsters, and the system rewards were all upgrade pills.

However, he did not receive any superpower upgrade gems.

He sighed helplessly and continued to farm monsters.

Suddenly, a Giant Rock Tiger jumped out from behind the grass. Vincent did not hesitate to use Monster Affinity on it.

The Giant Rock Tiger was a high-level monster. Its entire body was covered in rock, and its defense was extremely high. Its abilities were comparable to a special-class monster.

The Giant Rock Tiger initially wanted to tear Vincent apart, but it suddenly stopped when it was five meters away from Vincent.

It had a sense of familiarity with Vincent and was unable to sink its teeth into him. It felt very puzzling. Why would it have a sense of familiarity with a human?

At the same time, Vincent used his purgatory blade and brought hellfire down, slashing the Giant Rock Tiger's neck.

Clang!

Gravel flew everywhere.

"Roar!"

The Giant Rock Tiger cried out in pain. Its ferocity erupted, and it no longer cared about his sense of familiarity towards Vincent.

It turned its head and bit Vincent's waist.

It was Vincent's first time meeting the Giant Rock Tiger.

Although he knew that the Giant Rock Tiger's defense was very strong, he did not expect it to be so overpowering.

The Hellfire did not cause much damage to it.

This was the first time that Hellfire had failed him.

Although it could not be said that Hellfire had failed him completely, he still felt like he had failed.

After seeing the Giant Rock Tiger's gleaming teeth, Vincent turned around and dodged. At the same time, he swung his blade at the Giant Rock Tiger's waist.

The Giant Rock Tiger missed its attack and received another slash on its waist. It was sent flying by a huge force.

The Man and the Tiger looked at each other. They were both extremely cautious.

Vincent was trying to figure out its weakness.

The Giant Rock Tiger was doing the same. However, it still had doubts in its mind.

Why would it feel familiar towards a human?

Vincent thought to himself, "As expected of a monster that has a defense that was comparable to a special-class monster. It's indeed powerful."

It seemed like it was going to be impossible to get a crystal from the Giant Rock Tiger.

Vincent shook his head. He then stretched out his left hand and suddenly grabbed the Giant Rock Tiger.

Boom!

The Giant Rock Tiger was instantly enveloped by black flames. It could not stop screaming.

One second later, the Giant Rock Tiger was burned to death. There was not even a speck of ash left.

For it to be burned to death in one second was enough to show how terrifying Hellfire was.

No matter which monster he faced, Hellfire was able to kill them all in an instant.

Of course, this excluded the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The current Vincent was simply undefeatable. He was like an ultimate boss.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a high-level monster, Giant Rock Tiger. You have obtained one superpower upgrade gem."

"Do you wish to use it?"

Vincent's eyes lit up when he heard the system notification.

The superpower upgrade gem finally appeared.

This was in line with Vincent's thoughts.

As long as he killed enough monsters, the superpower upgrade gem would eventually appear.

"Use the superpower upgrade gem. Open the character panel."

Vincent instructed the system in his heart.

This time, it did not take long for the superpower upgrade gem to upgrade Vincent's superpowers. It only took about ten seconds.

When Vincent summoned Hellfire, its appearance did not change much. However, it was obvious that its power had increased by quite a bit.

Moreover, the originally pitch-black flame had a faint purple in its center.

Vincent extinguished his Hellfire flame. He then rubbed his chin and pondered slightly.

He was very curious about what a superpower that was above S-Class would be like.

So far, Vincent had never heard of a superpower that was above S-Class.

Looking ahead, Vincent clenched his fists.

"Looks like I will need to speed it up a little," Vincent muttered to himself.

Although Chris did not advise on how long the special training was, it would not be more than a day.

After all, there were still other things to do, and the time for the special enrollment competition was getting closer and closer.

Vincent realized that he had already been out for more than ten hours. He had about ten hours left. This was because he had to include the travel time he needed to return to Hero City.

He did not have much time left.

This time, he was focused on training his combat ability as it was also one of the five assessments.

Combat intensity.

As the students were in the wild filled with all kinds of dangers, there was simply no way that they could let their guard down and relax.

If they did, it would cause everyone's combat ability to become weaker and weaker with the passage of time.

The number of crystals obtained after killing the monsters would determine the order of the final ranking.

Although Chris said that killing monsters was not a priority, she merely said it to ensure the safety of the students.

Vincent had always been very clear about this.

Chapter 42

Vincent set off again. An hour later, he was surrounded by more than ten Stinging Wild Boars.

Stinging Wild Boars were intermediate-level monsters. Their bodies were covered with stingers that could be shot outwards to attack their targets.

The Stinging Wild Boar King on the other hand was an advanced-level monster.

Vincent looked at the Stinging Wild Boars and smiled happily at them. He was not afraid.

An intermediate-level monster was not a problem for Vincent at all.

Although Vincent was just a beginner-level superpowered person, his combat strength was enough to fight against a high-level superpowered person.

After all, Vincent had learned many tricks using Hellfire.

For instance, the fire net could restrict one's movement and control.

The fire arrow could break through high defense and attack.

The flash and flash bullets could distract his opponents and increase his agility.

Vincent's current usage of Hellfire covered all aspects.

In other words, he had managed to develop Hellfire, an elemental-type superpower into an all-rounded superpower.

This was not something that he did on purpose. It was just a solution that he thought of when he was practicing in the superpower training room. He combined the battle situations to make up for his own shortcomings.

With a flip of his hand, he condensed a Hellfire arrow. He then swung it at the Stinging Wild Boar King.

As the saying goes, "Shoot the man's horse before you shoot the man."

Vincent learned this principle five years ago.

However, Vincent did not expect the Stinging Wild Boar King to receive his attack. It turned sideways and used its body to receive the Hellfire arrow.

It gathered all the thorns on its body and formed one huge thorn in its center. 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Bang!

The Hellfire arrow collided with its thorn, and black flames started to burn towards the Stinging Wild Boar King.

The Stinging Wild Boar King did not panic. It just shook its body and the thorn that was engulfed by the Hellfire flames fell to the ground.

It turned its head and looked at Vincent mockingly.

When Vincent was fighting the Stinging Wild Boar King, the other wild boars did not bother to watch. They wanted to attack Vincent as well.

Vincent growled and swung his Purgatory Blade. He looked as if he was dancing with the wind.

The flying thorns were shot down by Vincent one after another. One of the wild boars got too close to Vincent and was instantly beheaded.

However, the incident did not instill fear amongst the wild boars. Instead, it aroused their ferocity.

Their eyes were red as they grunted.

When Vincent saw that the Stinging Wild Boars were planning to fight him in close combat, he smiled.

He was different from the other elementalists.

He was better at close-range combat as compared to long-range combat.

Vincent attached Hellfire to his Purgatory Blade, and a tongue of fire shot out from it.

The fiery red color on the blade looked very demonic.

"Jump slash!"

Vincent jumped up to decrease the distance between him and the Stinging Wild Boar King.

Whilst he was still in the air, he performed another Collapsing Mountain Strike.

The Collapsing Mountain Strike performed by Vincent this time was different from all the previous ones.

Perhaps it was because Vincent had used Hellfire on his Purgatory Blade.

The formless blade aura actually turned black.

A blade aura formed by the pitch-black flames slashed towards the head of the Stinging Wild Boar King.

It was extremely fast.

The Stinging Wild Boar King frowned and raised its four hooves, dodging nimbly.

Although it dodged Vincent's attack, its tail was still cut off.

The smell of meat wafted out.

"Roar!"

The Stinging Wild Boar King howled in pain and roared at Vincent. It was extremely furious.

The Stinging Wild Boars became crazy and started to attack Vincent.

Some used their stingers, and some tried to restrict Vincent's movements.

They all worked well together.

For a moment, Vincent was in a bit of a pinch.

Nevertheless, he still refused to use Monster Affinity as he did not see a need for it.

After all, he was just facing an intermediate-level monster. If he had to use Monster Affinity against an intermediate-level monster, it would be a waste.

As the battle went on, the Stinging Wild Boar King became confused.

Why was this human different from all the other ones it encountered before?

He was still alive and kicking even after fighting for so long.

Seven or eight of its underlings had died, but Vincent still acted as if nothing had happened.

Vincent was able to fight for so long because of the Purgatory Blade's special attributes.

It reduced his psionic power consumption by 15%.

It may not seem like much, but as the battle went on, the effects began to show.

For example, although Vincent did not have much psionic power left in his body, he did not have any problem killing the Stinging Wild Boars.

At that moment, the Stinging Wild Boar King suddenly roared into the sky. Its voice was filled with fear.

The other Stinging Wild Boars stopped attacking Vincent and crouched on the ground. It looked as if they were waiting to be slaughtered.

Vincent was stunned and was completely unaware of what had just happened.

However, he did not hesitate to kill them.

He raised his Purgatory Blade and was about to kill all the Stinging Wild Boars.

As he raised his blade, the ground suddenly began to shake. The frequency of the tremor increased.

At the same time, there was a loud rumble.

"What's happening? An earthquake?"

Vincent's face was full of confusion. He looked down on the ground and saw pebbles jumping all around him.

He looked up again and saw the Stinging Wild Boar King leading its underlings. They all rushed in the opposite direction of the loud roar.

Vincent frowned. If he still could not figure out the problem, he would be a fool.

However, he still could not understand what had happened.

Nevertheless, no matter what it was, he knew that it was not something that he could handle. He turned around and ran in the direction of Hero City.

The earth shook more and more violently, and the rumbling sounds behind him became louder.

Vincent turned his head to look behind him and was almost scared out of his wits.

There were so many monsters behind him!

They were all over the mountains and plains, like a tide.

There were all kinds of strange monsters!

Their faces were filled with excitement as they all fought to be first.

"F*ck! What's happening?"

After seeing the Monster Horde getting closer and closer, Vincent really wished that he could just grow a pair of wings and fly into the sky.

He was not a monster. His skin was rough, and his flesh was thick. He could run rampant.

He will need to destroy anything that was in his way.

He also needed to avoid trees, bushes, boulders, and other obstacles.

He had to travel a lot more than the monsters.

He was really small in comparison to them.

Along the way, countless monsters continued to join the Monster Horde.

This resulted in the horde getting larger in size.

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex flew in the air. It's cold eyes looking in the direction of Hero City.

It could sense that there were many humans there.

The humans were its target this round.

"Roar!"

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex roared towards the sky.

When the other monsters heard its roar, they all became very excited and increased their speed.

Vincent was not slow. He was about to leave the defensive mountain range.

At that moment, William and his underling were hiding behind a huge rock.

"Prince William, Vincent!"

William revealed a cruel smile.

"Your superpower is Shadow Binding, right?"

The underling nodded and looked at William in confusion.

"In a bit, you can bind him. I want to use him to feed my babies."

As William spoke, more than ten monsters appeared behind him.

Half of them were high-level monsters.

Although the underling knew that the monsters were all being controlled by William, he was still afraid.

He was even more afraid when he thought of the miserable state Vincent would be in after being torn apart by all these monsters. He could not help but shiver.

Chapter 43

William was very unhappy that Vincent and Angelina were so close.

He could not tolerate Angelina being so close to Vincent.

Angelina was his fiancée!

Although Angelina did not want to admit it, she had no choice.

It was clear to William that he was no match for Vincent. Otherwise, why would he let him live on for so long?

While Vincent was killing the monsters, he had also been controlling the monsters.

There were more than ten monsters, and half of them were high-level monsters.

From the previous simulation battle situation, Vincent would definitely die.

Chris would not be able to find anything even if she wanted to investigate how Vincent died.

This was especially since Vincent had left the safe zone that Chris had set.

This gave him greater mobility.

His underling had never killed anyone before. He was still rather resistant towards the idea of killing.

However, William was the Prince of the Falcon Kingdom. He did not dare to disobey him, especially since he did not have a good family to support him.

Just as Vincent was about to reach the underling's superpower range, the ground began to shake.

However, neither William nor the underling cared.

Vincent, who was running, suddenly stopped. He was unable to move at all.

"What's going on?"

Vincent was shocked.

"Why can't I move?"

Vincent felt the tremors under his feet getting closer and closer. He was very anxious.

"Hahaha! Vincent, you're going to die!"

William walked away. His face was ferocious.

However, at that moment, his underling that was standing behind him started to tremble. His facial expression changed.

"Will! William! The! Prince! You! You…"

The underling saw the Monster Horde, and his face turned pale.

He reached out his trembling hand to pull William.

However, William only had his eyes set on Vincent. He did not care at all.

"Vincent, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for getting too close to Angelina."

William did not waste any more of his breath and waved.

"Babies, it's time to eat!"

However, his monsters did not move at all.

This made him stunned.

The Monster Horde was less than a thousand meters away from them.

William turned his head and saw his monsters lying on the ground. They were all struggling.

"What's going on?"

William thought that the monsters were going to break free from his control. He activated his superpower in a hurry.

However, the monsters did not move at all.

"Prince William! Monster Horde!" the underling roared.

Before he could finish his words, he turned around and ran.

Once he ran, the superpower that was directed at Vincent was naturally removed.

When William heard his underling, he raised his head and looked. Good heavens, there were monsters all over the mountains and plains.

He was so scared that he turned around and was about to run but Vincent grabbed him by the collar.

"Prince William, a murderer, always gets killed in the end. You brought this upon yourself."

Vincent then threw him in the direction of the monsters.

"Ah! Vincent! You can't…"

Before William could even finish his words, he was bitten to death by a Red Lion.

Vincent escaped.

Although the distance between him and the monsters decreased because of William, Vincent was still hopeful. He wanted to live.

He went and searched for a place to hide.

Just when the Monster Horde was a few hundred meters away from him, he finally found a cave.

He ran towards the cave in a flash. 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Red Lion that had eaten William roared in excitement and chased after Vincent along with a few other monsters.

Vincent ran at full speed. The Red Lion was trailing behind him.

The distance between the Red Lion and Vincent was decreasing rapidly. Its front claws were about to grab onto Vincent's back.

Fortunately, the cave was right in front of Vincent. He pounced forward and narrowly avoided the Red Lion's claws.

The entrance of the cave was not big. As the Red Lion's body was huge, it could only fit one claw into the cave.

The Red Lion tried to scratch around the cave using its one claw. Vincent dodged quickly every time.

Although he was not injured by the Red Lion, his clothes were still torn into strips.

With a flip of his hand, Vincent summoned Hellfire and slapped the Red Lion's claws.

"Roar!"

The Red Lion let out a miserable cry and retracted its claws.

Its claws were burnt to just charcoal in an instant.

As it was a fire attribute monster, it was resistant to fire to a certain degree.

If it was any other monster, there would not even be ashes left.

When the Red Lion saw Hellfire still spreading, it decided to tear off its front claw entirely.

"Roar!"

The pain that it felt was similar to someone's heart being gouged out.

It was very angry that Vincent had managed to injure it.

However, due to its large size, it could not do anything to Vincent at all.

It had no choice but to let the other monsters chase after Vincent to kill him.

The monsters naturally would not let Vincent go. He was food after all.

To the monsters, humans were simply a delicacy.

The stronger the monster, the more delicious the human was.

The monsters all scrambled to enter the cave.

Vincent looked at the monsters and took out his Purgatory Blade, his eyes filled with death.

"Beasts! Come on!"

He attached Hellfire to his Purgatory Blade once again and used Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Boom!

"Roar!"

The first monster that entered the cave was split into two before it could even react.

However, its fresh blood did not scare the other monsters.

Instead, it aroused their ferocity. Each and every one of them tried their best to enter the cave.

Vincent brandished his Purgatory Blade like a tiger. He fought against the monsters bravely.

At first, he was only facing one monster at a time. However, slowly, the number of monsters increased. One, two, three…

Suddenly, he was fighting six monsters at the same time.

The entire cave was filled with monsters. It was impossible for him to dodge. There was so little space, he could not even turn around.

Monster Affinity; it was not that Vincent did not want to use the power but for some reason, it did not seem to work against the monsters when they were in a horde.

"Ah!"

Vincent was caught off guard and his right hand was bitten by a Bone-Eating Rat.

Clang! His Purgatory Blade fell to the ground.

Vincent, who was already in a bad situation, was in a worse position after losing his Purgatory Blade.

"Die!"

Vincent had no other choice. He used Hellfire to wrap his body.

His psionic power had been exhausted. It was his last resort and his last attack.

"Roar!"

"Roar Roar!"

"Roar Roar Roar!"

Vincent's attack was really sudden.

None of the six monsters could react in time. They were directly ignited by Hellfire.

They let out a miserable cry and were burnt to ashes.

At the same time, Vincent, who was completely powerless at that point, fell directly onto the ground.

He did not even have the mood to listen to what the system notification had to say.

Death was settling in permanently. So what if the system's reward was good?

The Red Lion had been paying attention to the battle. It roared in excitement after seeing Vincent exhausted. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

The Red Lion was very carefree.

It used its remaining front claw to reach into the cave to grab Vincent.

It opened its bloody mouth and wanted to consume Vincent.

Vincent could smell its fishy breath.

Everything became blurry, and Vincent slowly closed his eyes.

Although he no longer had any psionic power left in his body, he still thought of a way to kill the monster that would cause both of them to die together.

He thought of it all of a sudden.

Self-destruct!

He waited for the moment the Red Lion put him into its mouth. He was ready to activate self-destruct and die together with the Red Lion.

However, at that moment, a roar that Vincent was somewhat familiar with rang out. He immediately felt himself being grabbed and was placed gently on the ground.

He was very surprised. He opened his eyes. What he saw almost made him bite his tongue.

Chapter 44

Vincent looked at the huge dinosaur's head.

The dinosaur had a red monster in its mouth. It looked like the corpse of the Red Lion.

Vincent also recognized the dinosaur.

It was the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex that had spared his life previously.

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex was holding the Red Lion in its mouth. It then raised its head and threw the Red Lion directly into its mouth.

The creaking sound of teeth and bones scraping against one another made Vincent's body turn cold.

Gulp!

The Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex swallowed the Red Lion and looked at Vincent in confusion.

"Roar!"

It roared at the other monsters. It then spread its wings and flew away.

The monsters that initially surrounded Vincent, eyeing him like tigers were all reluctant to part.

However, they still turned around and left with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Vincent was puzzled. Why did the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex let him off twice in a row?

It was understandable the previous time as he used Monster Affinity on it.

However, what about this time?

Not only did it let him off, it even saved his life.

It was really strange.

Plus, the other monsters did not harm him just because of the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex's roar.

He could tell that the monsters all wanted to eat him, but they held back in the end.

What made the monsters give up?

Vincent could only think of one reason.

It was probably because the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex had a very high status in the Monster Horde.

The whole situation was shocking enough, but then something even more shocking happened.

The Monster Horde surged past him, but not a single monster was within three meters of him.

They treated Vincent as if he did not exist.

It was as if he was invisible.

He ate a few bottles of all-rounded recovery medicine. His body recovered a little.

He stood up and ran towards the meeting point.

At the same time, Chris and Bixby were busy protecting everyone. Suddenly, there was a drastic change in their expressions.

"Damn it! Why is there a Monster Horde at this time?" cursed Bixby in a low voice.

"Alright, this is not the time to talk about this."

Chris said anxiously, "Bring back the students who are in the east first. I'll go to the west to look for the others."

She did not even wait for Bixby to reply. Chris rushed out like a civet cat.

Before Bixby could even respond, Chris had already disappeared from his sight.

Without any hesitation, he dashed towards the east.

There were six students in the east. It was Angelina's group.

The six of them were working together to kill a monster quickly in the valley.

Nyssa and Nabil were control-type superpowered people. With them around, monsters could be killed in an instant.

If they encountered a powerful monster, Angelina could restrict the monster's performance using her superpower.

The six of them together had defense, attack, control, and consumption. They were simply a perfect team for field training.

After killing the high-level monster, the six of them were resting.

Suddenly, they felt an extremely strong tremor from the ground.

Oscanthus and Avril's expressions changed. They both looked at each other.

"Let's go back."

The two of them were very decisive. After calling the others, they stood up and left.

Ten minutes later, the six of them met up with Bixby.

"Teacher Bixby."

"Time is of the essence. If you have any questions, you can ask me on the way. Follow me."

Bixby then turned around to leave.

The six of them looked at Bixby with a serious expression. They knew that the situation was serious.

They did not waste any time and followed him.

Bixby found the six students easily.

Chris on the other hand was having some trouble.

The Monster Horde surged into Hero City from all directions. Its main focus was the west.

Chris was also searching for other students in the west. Therefore, she had to face the Monster Horde head-on.

The Monster Horde was very overwhelming. Chris's expression changed again, and it was very ugly.

It was not that the Monster Horde had never appeared before. However, it was the first time that Chris encountered a Monster Horde of this scale in the wild.

However, it did happen in the black hole from time to time.

"Mouse!"

The first person that Chris saw was William's fleeing underling.

She shouted for him. She was hoping that he would be able to see her.

However, he had already been scared out of his wits. At that moment, he only had one thought, which was to return to Hero City quickly.

In addition, the noise caused by the Monster Horde was very loud, so he could not hear Chris at all.

After watching the situation unfold, Chris knew that she had to speed it up a little.

However, if she moved fast, the Monster Horde would move even faster.

Just when she was a few hundred meters away from Mouse, Mouse was swallowed by the Monster Horde.

"F*ck!"

Chris cursed angrily. She felt very guilty in her heart.

She blamed herself for being too slow. If she was faster, she might have been able to save Mouse.

Although she blamed herself in her heart, she did not stop moving.

After all, she was responsible for the other students as well.

She turned around and continued to search for them.

However, she already knew what she was going to find.

She just did not want to believe it.

After all, Mouse was the first person that she saw, and he was already being chased by the Monster Horde.

What happened to the others was obvious enough.

Nevertheless, she did not let her appearance affect the Monster Horde.

However, there were still a few monsters that were charging at her.

"Get lost!"

Chris roared and crashed directly into a few high-level monsters.

She was a high-leveled superpowered person after all. Chris did not even need to use her superpower.

In just a blink of an eye, a few high-level monsters had been dismembered.

Blood and flesh flew in all directions.

Half an hour later, Teacher Chris saw Chris, who had transformed into a Berserk Grizzly Bear.

If it was not for the fact that Chris still retained his human appearance, she would not have been able to recognize him in the horde of monsters.

There was nothing she could do. They all looked too similar.

As for Chris, not only did he use his transformation superpower to escape, he was also fighting three high-level monsters by himself.

The Berserk Grizzly Bear was a high-level monster. It had strong attack power and high defense. However, its movements were slow.

Chris was covered in wounds and his face was filled with excitement.

Every time he attacked, he would use desperate moves and give up on his defense completely.

His desperate fighting style actually helped him to suppress three high-level monsters.

"Chris!"

Teacher Chris waved her hands and unleashed a fan-shaped psionic blade.

Three high-level monsters were sliced in half instantly.

"Teacher Chris?"

Chris had a puzzled look on his face. Due to his transformation, his voice sounded extremely dull.

"Return to Hero City immediately. You are not allowed to fight with any monsters!"

Teacher Chris glared at Chris unhappily. She then left to look for the remaining students.

Chris had a displeased look on his face, but he did not dare to disobey Teacher Chris. He ran in the direction of Hero City reluctantly.

After half an hour, Chris saw Vincent running along with the Monster Horde.

There was nothing she could do. Vincent's presence was really obvious.

There was a vacuum within three meters of him. All the monsters were hiding from Vincent. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

It was hard not to notice.

"Vincent!"

Chris ran in front of Vincent.

The monsters that were chasing her stopped immediately. They looked at Vincent with fear and drool. They then turned around to leave.

"Teacher Chris!"

Vincent was stunned. He did not expect to meet Chris there.

Chris was also very shocked that Vincent could come and go freely from the Monster Horde.

"How did you do it?" asked Chris in disbelief.

It was shocking to see Vincent.

Ever since the monsters appeared, no one could walk around freely in the Monster Horde like Vincent.

The ones that were naturally strong did not count. However, even those who were strong were busy fighting when they faced a Monster Horde.

But what about Vincent?

It was as if he was strolling in a garden. She could not understand how this could happen.

Although Vincent had a rough idea, he was still uncertain about the situation.

He could only shake his head. He was dumbfounded.

Chris knew that everyone had secrets.

No matter how curious she was, she did not continue to pursue the matter.

It was a good thing after all. Vincent was not in any danger although he was within the Monster Horde. She could continue her search for the others.

"Vincent, go back to Hero City."

She then turned to leave.

Before she left, Vincent asked, "Teacher Chris, where are you going?"

Chapter 45

"William and Steele have not been found yet."

Chris was about to rush out to continue looking for them.

After seeing Chris's reaction, Vincent said quickly, "Teacher Chris! There's no need to look for them! They have all been killed by the monsters!"

Chris stopped suddenly after hearing what Vincent had said.

Although she had been preparing herself mentally, she still could not accept such a reality.

"Vincent, is that the truth?"

Vincent nodded his head with certainty.

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Vincent was not lying.

William was indeed killed by the monster.

If he had to admit it, he only pushed him a little.

It was a gentle push.

As for Steele, although Vincent did not see it happen with his own eyes, he felt like someone had been following him ever since he separated from Angelina and the others.

It was just that the person's tracking skills were very good so he could not discover him.

Plus, it was obvious that Steele did not have any good intentions if he was following him.

After he encountered the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex for the first time, he no longer felt like he was being followed.

Using his toes to think, he knew that the tracker was probably killed by the aftershock of his battle with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Vincent.

After all, when he was up against the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, he was being chased and he did not fight back.

Chris slapped her forehead.

Every year, teachers and students would die. There was a complete set of measures to deal with something like this.

However, it was different this time.

William was different.

He was the Prince of the Falcon Kingdom. He was from the royal family. His death would cause a lot of trouble for Quinn.

Plus, only S-Class individuals had died so far. It was a great loss to Quinn.

"Let's go back."

Chris sighed and pulled Vincent along. They then ran towards Hero City.

Chris was too fast. She was so fast that Vincent could not even see the surroundings clearly.

"Was this the speed of a high-level superpowered person?"

Vincent was shocked.

He thought that he could fight high-level superpowered people since he was able to fight high-level monsters.

All along he thought that even if he could not win, he would not be defeated.

However, it seemed like this was not the case at all.

His speed was no match for a high-level superpowered person.

No matter how well he controlled his superpowers, it would be pointless if he could not even hit the target.

Alarms were going off in Hero City.

Hero City had sophisticated equipment to detect the movements of the monsters as they were guarding the frontline.

In addition to the information provided by Bixby, the news of a Monster Horde arriving was accurate.

Everyone in the city had to go to the city wall to perform their duties. They were all in combat mode.

All the spiritual cannons were on standby and were waiting for orders to be fired.

Apart from the city guards in Hero City, the Rangers, mercenary groups, Quinn's teachers, and students were all ready to join the battle.

The mercenary groups' foundation was in Hero City.

If the city was destroyed by the Monster Horde, they would have nothing left.

The city guards were the main force.

The Rangers, Quinn's teachers, and students all had high-end combat strength.

The Rangers had traveled all over the world. If they did not have strong combat strength as their foundation, they would have died a long time ago.

Those who were still alive were definitely not weak and could fight well against monsters.

As for the students and teachers, there was no doubt that they had a great foundation.

They had the best resources for education and cultivation. Their strength could not be compared to ordinary people.

Of course, the students who could participate in such a large-scale battle were usually in the third or fourth grade.

The first and second grades were not allowed to participate at all.

After all, they were the future of Quinn, and also the future of humanity.

They could not be harmed.

Plus, they lacked experience in battles. Their presence would not have made a difference anyway.

Angelina's face was filled with anxiety outside the city wall.

The others all had their brows tightly furrowed.

Only madman Chris looked eager to give it a try.

"Why aren't Vincent and Teacher Chris back yet?" asked Angelina.

Angelina could not help herself.

Bixby's face was solemn as he stared at the Monster Horde approaching them. He then said in a deep voice, "They will come back. Everyone will come back safely."

Although Bixby tried to reassure Angelina, he himself did not have any confidence in the situation.

After all, it had been so long. No one could give an accurate answer as to whether they would return or not.

Angelina listened to Bixby who sounded like he had no confidence at all. Tears started to flow down her face.

At that moment, she realized how weak she truly was.

She was so weak that she could only wait in the city wall anxiously.

She prayed in secret. If Vincent returned to her safely, she would definitely train hard and seriously.

At the same time, there was a figure approaching them. The figure was much faster than the Monster Horde.

"It's Teacher Chris and Vincent!" shouted Nyssa. She was surprised to see them.

"Open the city gates! It's Teacher Chris!" shouted Bixby. He was instructing the City Guard General.

The City Guard General was about to give the order to open the city gates when he saw Chris suddenly squat down. She then jumped upwards.

With a bang, Chris was sent flying.

After a few relays on the city wall, she flipped over and stood beside Bixby.

She was hugging Vincent in her arms. Vincent had a dead look on his face.

Originally, Chris was running whilst pulling him.

However, Chris felt that this method was too slow. They might not even arrive at Hero City before the Monster Horde.

She quickly carried Vincent like how a prince would carry his princess.

Their speed increased. However, Vincent felt like he had disgraced himself.

"Vincent!"

Angelina pounced on Vincent the moment she saw him.

The others looked at Vincent and Chris in confusion. Their eyes moved back and forth between the two.

Vincent coughed lightly and climbed down from Chris's arms.

Although Chris's breasts were very soft and comfortable, he could not stay there forever.

He already lost face. He could not lose his reputation and be labeled as a pervert too.

Those who were familiar with Chris's personality looked at her in disbelief.

Vincent was the first person to have ever gotten so close to Chris.

It was so close that it felt surreal.

"Vincent, are you alright?"

Angelina hugged Vincent. Her face was full of worry.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Vincent felt a warmth in his heart when Angelina cared for him.

Although this was not the first time someone had cared for him, he had not been properly cared for since he was young. He had always remembered every single person who cared for him.

Avril wanted to give Vincent a hug.

However, she stopped herself when she saw Angelina throw herself into Vincent's arms. 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢

Her heart was confused. She did not know what to feel.

Bixby coughed lightly and looked at Chris.

Chris nodded her head sadly.

Bixby sighed slightly.

Although he could already guess it from the moment he saw Vincent and Chris, he still felt uncomfortable after knowing the actual truth.

Chris took a deep breath and turned to look at the crowd.

"Students, I have bad news for everyone."

"William, Mouse, and Steele have all been killed by the monsters."

Everyone fell silent after hearing Chris's announcement.

Everyone understood the logic behind her words. In a battle with a monster, death and injury were inevitable.

However, they still felt bad after hearing the news.

Even though they hated William, they were not very familiar with him.

"Soldiers! The monsters are coming! Hero City is the first barrier of Blazing City. We swear that we will not let these bastards pass!"

The general of the city guards held a spiritual gun in his left hand and a spiritual sword in his right hand as he shouted.

"Our wives, our children, our parents, and the future of humanity all live in Blazing City! We have no choice."

"We can only fight to the death! Let these animals see that we humans are invincible!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

The soldiers of Hero City roared at the top of their lungs. It was as if they had been injected with stimulants.

The noise was deafening!

Chapter 46

The Monster Horde was just a thousand meters away from Hero City. The City Guard General drew his spiritual sword.

"Soldiers, attack!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Vanguard Army! Prepare to charge. Use the spiritual cannons to block the monsters!"

The City Guard General roared. His eyes were red.

Every time there was a Monster Horde, the Vanguard Army suffered the most casualties.

They were the first to engage in close combat with the monsters, and they were also the last.

Hence, their equipment was the best. 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢

From head to toe, they were all equipped with psionic equipment. They were practically armed to the teeth.

Furthermore, the Vanguard Army had defensive-type superpowers.

This was to ensure that the Monster Horde would not break through the line of defense within a short period of time.

This in turn provided a better environment for the rear army to prepare their damage output.

"Everyone, report your status!"

"The assault army is ready!"

"The agility army is ready!"

"The control army is ready!"

"The auxiliary army is ready!"

"The air army is ready!"

"The spiritual cannons are ready!"

"The reserved resources are ready!"

The general of the city guards raised his spiritual gun and yelled, "Let's go!"

"Boom!"

"Da, da, da!"

The psionic cannons were fired. Every time it was fired, a vacuum zone would be created in the Monster Horde.

Although the damage was very high, it was not very effective against the Monster Horde.

In the blink of an eye, the vacuum zone was filled with monsters.

The city guards moved methodically on the city wall. The city was more than ten meters behind them.

They were either filling in the cannons or carrying their ammunition.

The Vanguard troops rushed out of Hero City. They were five hundred meters outside of the city.

This was as close as they could place the psionic cannons.

If the Monster Horde broke through, the psionic cannons would be useless.

The mercenary groups were also ready, and the captains followed behind the City Guard General.

This was to ensure they had what they needed when they needed it.

The Rangers stood on the city wall. They were ready to take the place of the city guards if anything happened.

Hero City only had 8,000 city guards and they had to guard against monsters coming from all four directions.

There were only about 2,000 people on the city wall, and this included the Vanguard Army.

If the Vanguard Army was excluded, there would be less than 1,000 people on the city wall.

Bixby turned to look at Chris.

"Bring them back first."

Hero City was very special to the teachers of Quinn.

Hero City was also a very important and significant place. Therefore, it was no doubt that the teachers of Quinn would participate in the battle.

"Roar!"

"Roar, roar!"

The monsters' roar was deafening.

A monster that had a wingspan of more than ten meters flew in the sky. It blotted both the sky and sun.

On the ground, monsters that were extremely huge were running towards Hero City. The number of monsters was as many as the hairs on an ox.

"Teacher Chris, I'm not going back. You can send them away."

Vincent's expression was firm.

To him, this was indeed a rare battle.

When Chris heard Vincent's words, her expression changed and she berated, "Nonsense! Vincent! Do you know what this is?"

"This is a Monster Horde! It's different from how you usually kill monsters! If you're not careful, you'll die here!"

"Besides, do you think you can participate in this battle just because you want to?"

"Even your seniors who are in the third and fourth grades can't participate!"

Nyssa and her friends nodded dejectedly after hearing what Chris had said.

They had been eliminated in the past. If they wanted to participate in a battle of such a level, they would have to go through a very strict selection and assessment.

"Teacher Chris! The rules do not apply here! When monsters attack, as a human, I have the right to fight them! No one can take that away from me!" said Vincent bluntly.

This was the first time he argued against Chris, but he was adamant that he was not wrong.

"Moreover, teacher Chris, you saw it with your own eyes earlier. I won't have any problems."

Teacher Chris was about to get angry. However, after hearing Vincent's words, she thought of the situation in the Monster Horde earlier.

She then nodded in agreement.

The monsters did not harm Vincent when he was in the Monster Horde. This meant that Vincent would not be in danger.

Since he was not in any danger, then Vincent would be able to contribute to the fight.

"The rest of you, follow me!"

Chris looked at the others.

"Teacher Chris, we're not leaving either!"

"Vincent has not even officially enrolled in Quinn yet, and he already has so much heart. We are seniors. How could we leave?" said Nyssa.

Nyssa and her other two friends were all determined to help.

Chris was even more direct. He just took out a crystal and swallowed it. His body expanded instantly, and he transformed into a giant ape that was forty meters tall.

Angelina and Avril looked at each other and said at the same time, "We're not leaving either!"

Nabil raised his hand with caution and said, "I think I can help too."

Teacher Chris looked at the students, her chest heaving with anger.

Bixby shook his head and said to Chris, "You protect them first. I'll go ask Principal Sibis and the general of the city guards."

Chris could only nod helplessly.

"All of you, follow obediently. If Principal Sibis doesn't agree to let you participate, you will all have to go back!"

He turned to look at Vincent and said, "Especially you."

The group of children in front of him was the future of Quinn, the future of humanity.

He would not joke about their lives.

However, he was also not able to determine their fates.

It was undeniable that the Monster Horde was a really great opportunity for them to train.

As long as they survived, they would definitely have huge growth in their temperament.

There would also be a change in their mental state that would directly affect how they view things in the future.

Plus, their abilities to adapt in battle would surpass their peers greatly.

The battle continued.

Under the command of the general of the city guards, the psionic cannons fired continuously and hindered the monsters' advances.

However, the monsters have become more and more hysterical. They no longer cared about the death of their companions.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the ground had been dyed red.

The flying monsters were all killed. Their corpses fell to the ground and blood rained down from the sky.

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at Hero City coldly from a distance away.

In the sky above Hero City, there was a burly bald man who was looking at the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was a few thousand meters above Hero City.

His name was Johnny, and he was the mayor of Hero City. He had an A-Class superpower known as Thunder God Wings.

He was an old rival of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Both of them knew each other very well.

They had fought each other six or seven times previously. However, neither of them managed to do anything to the other.

Suddenly, a man jumped up from the ground and flew upwards into the air.

"Mayor, the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex is coming, and it is very aggressive this time. Should we ask for help?"

This man floating in the air was Binus. He was the Deputy Mayor of Hero City. He was a superpower user, an A-Class elemental ability type. He was the son of the Wind God.

Johnny shook his head slightly. "Recently, the monsters in the black hole have been rioting. The strong ones have all returned to the black hole. We can handle this ourselves."

"Tell the soldiers, there's no need to save ammunition. Tell them to give it their all. We must stop the monsters outside of Hero City!"

Binus nodded. He then turned around and flew back to Hero City.

Bixby returned to the city wall and nodded at Chris.

"Principal Sibius agreed?"

Chris was very surprised. The news was really surprising.

Bixby was also very shocked by Sibius's decision. However, he had nothing to say as the principal had already made a decision.

"Although Principal Sibius agreed for them to join the battle, he has instructed us to split them up into two teams. We will have to follow them."

"The general of the city guards also said that he will send more people over later. He wants us to form two battle teams."

Chris nodded and turned to look at the crowd of students.

"Vincent, Chris, Angelina, Avril, and Nabil, you will follow me."

"Nyssa, Hixton, and Oscanthus, you will form a group with the others that will come later. Follow teacher Bixby."

They all nodded to indicate that they agreed with Chris's arrangement.

Everyone was very excited to be able to go out on the battlefield.

This was especially so for Nyssa, Hixton, and Oscanthus. They never thought that they would be able to participate in a battle of this scale before they left Quinn.

Ever since they were young, they had dreamt of fighting against monsters and fighting for the future of mankind.

How could they not be excited? Their dream had come true.

Shortly afterward, the people that had been sent by the general of the city guards arrived. Chris and Bixby looked at each other and left with their respective groups.

No one noticed Vincent's face.

In his flame-shaped eyes, an even smaller purple flame was dancing around gently.

Chapter 47

When Vincent was surrounded by monsters in the cave earlier, he couldn't care less about what the system had rewarded him.

When he finally had the opportunity to check the system, he found out that the system rewarded him with a superpower upgrade gem.

He decided to use it.

The Hellfire attribute was originally S-Class. After the upgrade, it became S+ Class.

Vincent could sense a purple flame appearing in the center of Hellfire.

He also felt an unprecedented destructive power.

However, he was puzzled. How did he complete the first phase of evolution?

Moreover, the evolutionary progress had become zero.

Does it mean that Vincent had entered the second phase of Hellfire?

Although Vincent could not understand what was happening, he was still extremely happy with the upgrade.

After all, Hellfire had become twice as strong.

Chris looked at the six of them. She stopped her gaze at Vincent and Chris.

"All of you must stay close to me. You are not allowed to stray further than 100 meters."

Vincent and Chris smiled at each other. They saw a hint of awkwardness in each other's eyes.

It was obvious what Teacher Chris meant.

Chris fought against the Monster Horde.

Was it something a normal person could do?

Vincent, on the other hand, managed to stop the monsters from coming within three meters of him.

No one knew what he would do next.

Teacher Chris believed that the two of them were like bombs.

It was possible for them to do something out of line at any time.

At the same time, Johnny came down from the sky. He looked at Chris and Bixby. Bixby was far away.

"General Sibis agreed?"

Johnny was not from Quinn. He was a general who worked under Sibis.

Hence, he would address Sibis as a general and not a principal.

Chris nodded. "The principal allowed them to train."

Johnny looked at the students and sighed.

"They are all future seedlings. The general seemed to be very willing to part with them."

He took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"Since the general has agreed, I will not say anything further. Follow the Quinn Combat Army."

Chris looked at the Quinn Combat Army that had already been assembled.

"It's better if I lead them myself. If there are any problems, I will handle it."

"After all, these students have not been trained. It's easy to have problems if they join the army rashly."

Johnny thought for a moment and agreed. Chris was right.

"Then you guys stay at the west wall."

"After all, the general wants them to train. This is the main battlefield. It is also the place that has the strongest military. It'll be safer if you stay here."

"You will need to control the timing yourselves. You don't have to listen to anyone's orders."

With that, Johnny got up and flew back to his original position. He still had to keep an eye out on the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex.

After all, it was the biggest threat in the Monster Horde.

High-level monsters had special-class combat strength.

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex had tough skin and thick flesh. The slightest carelessness would result in a large number of casualties.

It had not been long since the battle started.

However, the Vanguard Army was already in a head-on battle with the Monster Horde.

In order to ensure the safety of the Vanguard Army during this time, the psionic cannons could only be fired from one kilometer away.

All kinds of guns, arrows, and elemental attacks were also used to fire at the monsters to reduce the pressure on the Vanguard Army.

If they only had to deal with the monsters on the ground, the defense-type battle would not be a problem.

However, there were also monsters flying in the sky. They were attacking the soldiers on the city wall from above.

Although there were some superpowered people who could fly to fight the flying monsters, there were not many of them.

The difference in numbers was a challenge.

Both humans and monsters suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time.

There were too few humans as compared to monsters. Even if the numbers were equal, humans would not have an advantage over the monsters.

This was because there were very few humans who had high-end combat strength.

On the other hand, the weakest monsters were low-level monsters. There were thousands of medium-level monsters and hundreds of high-level monsters.

On the other hand, there were only about a hundred high-level superpowered people.

There were only a few people who were as strong as Chris.

Chris transformed into a close-combat monster. He watched the battle between the Vanguard Army and the monsters. He was very eager to give it a try.

However, as Teacher Chris was monitoring him closely, he could not move any closer.

Forcing a battle maniac to wait was worse than killing him.

"Teacher Chris, are we just going to watch?"

Chris could not help himself and asked Teacher Chris directly.

Teacher Chris glared at him.

The battle was very intense. As time passed, the Vanguard Army's defense line was about to be destroyed.

In ten minutes, the defense line had been pushed back two hundred meters, and more than half of them were dead.

The City Guard General frowned.

This was not good for the defense of Hero City at all.

If the monsters were within two hundred meters of Hero City, the psionic cannons would be completely useless.

"Mercenary group! Those who are good at defense, please step up!"

Although they did not want to use the mercenary group, the City Guard General had no choice.

The various mercenary groups proceeded to make arrangements. They then sent their people out of the city to take over the Vanguard Army's formation.

It was very impressive how the Vanguard Army managed to hold on for so long.

"Special Forces, move out!"

The Special Forces were a group of high-level superpowered people. There were only about 60 of them, and they were all experienced.

As the Special Forces were deployed, more than 200 high-level monsters rushed out from the Monster Horde to attack them.

This was a battle between the high-level combat individuals and monsters. Although it was only a small-scale battle, the intensity was extremely high, and the damage was horrifying.

Vincent thought for a moment and pointed at the high-level battlefield. He said to Chris, "Teacher Chris, I'll go help."

Teacher Chris frowned. However, after she thought about how Vincent was able to stroll freely in the monster horde, she agreed.

After all, she was still able to protect Vincent even if there was a problem.

After getting Chris's approval, Vincent set out.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Vincent rushing out to fight.

How come Vincent was able to go and fight?

Even if he was powerful, it was unlikely that he could participate in a high-level battle.

"If he can go, I can go too!"

Chris could not hold it in any longer. After seeing Vincent leave, he left Teacher Chris a message and rushed out as well.

Chapter 48

"Chris! Come back here!"

Teacher Chris was shocked and started shouting for him immediately.

Chris pretended not to hear her and did not turn around.

Nabil was even more direct. Without saying anything, he gave himself an anti-gravity buff and jumped off the city wall.

"Teacher Chris, we all came here together. It is only natural for us to participate in the battle together. Let's go!" said Angelina and Avril in a serious tone.

Avril hugged Angelina and jumped down from the city wall.

"All of you, come back! F*ck!"

Teacher Chris cursed and went after them.

She was not very worried about them, but she was still their teacher. How could she watch them leave like that?

The six of them rushed out of the city wall and onto the battlefield.

The people who were fighting were all shocked.

A group of Quinn's first-year and second-year students actually jumped off the city wall and were heading towards the high-level battlefield!

It was crazy.

Before Vincent even landed on the ground, Chris was already there waiting for him.

Bang!

A deep pit was formed in the ground.

"Hehe, Vincent! Let's compete and see who gets to the battlefield first. Let us also see who kills the most monsters!"

Chris turned his head and smiled at Vincent.

As he had transformed into a monster, his smile was very ferocious.

"If you want to be my captain, it will depend on whether you have the ability to be one."

Chris roared towards the sky and jumped outwards.

Vincent smiled faintly at him. He then spread his Hellfire wings and flew towards the battlefield. He was like an arrow that had been released from a bow.

As he had evolved Hellfire, his control over it also became stronger.

He thought that the control only existed in his imagination. However, after the upgrade, Vincent discovered that he could actually control Hellfire as if it was his arm or finger.

"Hey, Vincent!"

Nabil was flying in the air. He gave Vincent an honest smile.

"You're here too?"

Vincent was stunned.

He did not expect Nabil to be there.

"It's not just me. Everyone is here."

Nabil turned around and pursed his lips.

Vincent turned around and saw Avril carrying Angelina. Teacher Chris was by their side.

"All of you, just you wait! I'll settle the score with you when we get back!" said Chris unhappily.

"Chris! Come here, don't interfere with the battle! Let's go to the southwest side! There's a problem with the defense line there!"

Teacher Chris was very experienced after all. While protecting Vincent and the others, she was also able to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Chris turned his head and was instantly delighted.

There were all kinds of monsters ranging from low-level to high-level.

"Roar!"

Chris roared and charged towards the southwest side of Hero City.

"Chris, Avril, protect the left and right sides. Angelina, prepare your superpower and assist Vincent in killing the monsters. Nabil, pay attention to everyone's conditions."

Teacher Chris quickly arranged a battle formation.

"Pay attention and maintain the formation!" said Teacher Chris.

"Yes, Teacher Chris!"

Everyone agreed in unison and quickly gathered together.

Johnny, who was confronting the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex in the air, was very concerned about the students.

However, he was surprised when he saw their high level of teamwork.

Even third-year and fourth-year students might not be able to follow orders like Vincent and the others did.

The forbidden order!

The students were all natural-born soldiers!

"Not bad! This batch of children is really not bad at all!" 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

Johnny nodded his head in satisfaction.

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex also noticed Vincent in the crowd.

When the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex saw a monster sneaking up behind Vincent, it roared angrily.

The monster that was about to attack Vincent was shocked and quickly left Vincent alone.

The monsters that were fighting against Vincent also left quickly and hid as far away from him as possible.

For a moment, the pressure on the west became even greater.

"What? Why did the monsters all run away?"

Chris and the others were all dumbfounded. They had no idea what was going on.

The battle earlier could not even be considered as a warm-up.

Teacher Chris looked at Vincent and revealed a mysterious smile.

Vincent was very confused as well, but he guessed that it was probably because of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex.

He could not help but turn to look at the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Both their eyes met. Vincent could sense the confusion in its eyes.

"Let's go. Let's go back."

Teacher Chris knew that with Vincent around, there would not be any battles.

However, Chris and the other students refused to leave.

To them, being able to participate in a battle of this level was a rare opportunity.

"Teacher Chris, let's go over there."

Chris pointed at the high-level battlefield. His face was full of eagerness.

"No! You guys cannot participate in that battle! Go back!"

Teacher Chris frowned and looked at Chris with a very serious expression.

Chris sighed. He had no choice and reluctantly disengaged his transformation.

However, Vincent had other ideas.

Since the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex would not let other monsters harm him, he could use the situation to his advantage and change the situation on the battlefield.

"Teacher Chris, I have an idea."

Vincent looked at Teacher Chris. "We can go to the high-level battlefield and maybe we can change what's happening there."

Teacher Chris wanted to refute him, but she suddenly stopped herself.

After thinking about it, she felt like Vincent's idea was worth a try.

"Are you confident?"

Although Teacher Chris was very tempted to help, she still had to ask to prioritize Vincent's safety.

Vincent was not confident. However, based on the situation earlier, it was not completely impossible.

Moreover, if it was not effective, they could just withdraw.

"Teacher Chris, I think there's no problem."

"Alright! Let's go to the high-level battlefield. Make sure that you all pay attention in order to maintain the battle formation."

When Chris heard that Teacher Chris had agreed to go to the high-level battlefield, he took out a piece of spirit crystal excitedly. He then transformed into a titan beast that was twenty meters tall.

Although he did not understand what Teacher Chris and Vincent were talking about, he was very happy that he could fight.

"Roar! Damn, monsters! I'm coming!"

Chris roared and was the first to rush out.

The others quickly followed behind him.

The Vanguard Army and the mercenary group fought side by side, blocking the monsters' advances.

When they saw Vincent and the other students charging towards the high-level battlefield, they were shocked once again.

Earlier, Vincent and the others had made a turn towards the southwest. They thought that they had left.

However, they did not expect them to charge towards the high-level battlefield again.

"F*ck! Are they that fierce?"

"As expected of the students from Quinn. They are truly courageous!"

On the high-level battlefield, the Special Forces were engaged in a heated battle with the high-level monsters.

However, due to the difference in numbers, the Special Forces could only try their best to defend against the high-level monsters. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

As they were focused on the battle, no one in the Special Forces noticed Vincent and the others arriving.

However, the high-level monsters could sense Vincent's aura. Their original attack was faced with a problem instantly.

The high-level monsters became extremely flustered.

They looked at Vincent with fear and drooled.

This gave the Special Forces a chance to catch their breath.

In an instant, dozens of high-level monsters were killed.

As Vincent got closer to the battlefield, the battle between the high-level monsters became more chaotic.

Vincent was still more than ten meters away from the high-level battlefield, but the high-level monsters had already turned around and fled.

As they saw the battle disappear before their eyes, Chris let out an angry roar. He could not help but move a little faster.

Teacher Chris was delighted after seeing what happened. It worked. She then picked up Vincent and rushed forward.

Chapter 49

Vincent's face turned gloomy.

Why was Teacher Chris carrying him like he was a princess?

"I don't want to lose face!"

Chris and the others did not know what was happening. Why would Teacher Chris carry Vincent and rush towards the high-level monsters that were fleeing?

Could it be that they had a grudge? Does Teacher Chris want to kill Vincent?

It did not make sense! If Teacher Chris wanted to kill Vincent, why would she bring him back from the Monster Horde?

It was such a waste of time.

Wherever Teacher Chris and Vincent went, the monsters would panic and instantly disperse.

It was quite obvious what was happening. If no one could identify the problem, then humans would not be able to survive in the monster-ravaged world.

The high-level monsters fled with the other monsters.

For the first time, the monsters had the upper hand, but they chose to gradually retreat instead.

The people who were being suppressed by the monsters earlier did not know what was happening.

The City Guard General did not want to waste such a good opportunity. He waved his sword and the entire army started to attack the monsters.

"Roar!"

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex was furious when it saw what was happening. It looked at Vincent with anger.

It thought of killing Vincent, but it was immediately suppressed by an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Although Hero City was besieged by monsters from all four sides, the west was still the main battlefield.

Once the monsters were defeated on the main battlefield, the monsters on the other three sides could not deal as much damage.

It was over!

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex was helpless and angry. It roared at Johnny unwillingly and flew away.

The monsters came in like a tide and retreated like one too.

The battle had come to an end.

Many people still did not know what was going on.

Those who understood the situation all looked at Vincent.

Teacher Chris and the others were familiar with one another. They all had experienced fighting several Monster Hordes in the past. Therefore, it was impossible for them to be the ones who had the ability to turn monsters away.

The only person who could have made the monsters behave in that way was Vincent.

Johnny watched the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex leave. He looked down at Vincent who looked like he had nothing left to live for. He let out a loud and hearty laugh. His laugh could be heard throughout the entire battlefield.

"Hahahaha!"

"Warriors! We have successfully repelled the Monster Horde. We have won! Today, we will not return until we are drunk!"

After hearing what Johnny said, everyone felt as if they had survived a disaster. Their cheers were so loud that they echoed into the sky.

The battlefield was cleaned up and the wounded were treated.

Teacher Chris brought Vincent and the other students back to Hero City.

They were all treated like heroes.

The city guards, mercenary groups, rangers, the teachers, and students of Quinn, all lined up to welcome them back.

Vincent and his team were too eye-catching.

Aside from Teacher Chris, the rest of them were not high-level superpowered users. Why would the monsters be afraid of them?

It could be said that the credit went to Vincent and Teacher Chris. The war ended so quickly because of them.

There were fewer casualties because the battle ended so fast.

After surviving a disaster, who would not feel grateful?

If the battle dragged on, who else would die on the battlefield? No one knew.

Everyone was happy. However, there was one person who was gloomy. It was Chris, the battle maniac.

He was unhappy because he did not even have the chance to fight in the war.

It would be strange if he was happy.

Nyssa and her friends looked at Vincent's team with envy.

They were all strictly monitored by Bixby. Although they participated in the battle, they were controlling psionic weapons and attacking from afar.

Although the people in Hero City expressed their appreciation towards them, the treatment that they received was far different from the treatment received by Vincent and the others.

There was nothing Bixby could do. He was responsible for their lives.

Moreover, those students were the future of Quinn and humanity. He could not allow for any mishaps to happen.

At the same time, Bixby was also very impressed with Teacher Chris.

She actually allowed the students to take the initiative to attack in such a dangerous battle. She also managed to protect everyone.

She was not only strong physically and mentally, but she also had a strong heart.

As a teacher, if she was not careful, she would be punished.

This would be the case even if Vincent and the other students were not injured. She would still be reprimanded.

However, Bixby did not know that Teacher Chris did not actually give the students the green light to fight.

It was the students themselves who took the initiative to leave.

She could not just watch the students leave and fend for themselves. She had no choice!

However, she could not deny that she was the one who allowed Vincent to fight.

After all, Vincent had the ability to fight.

In fact, it could be said that he had an extremely special ability.

She was hesitating on whether she should report Vincent's matter to the school.

It would make the school pay more attention to Vincent.

On second thought, she decided not to inform the school.

Vincent did not tell her why the monsters stayed away from him. He did not want to talk about it.

In other words, it was Vincent's secret.

Why would she reveal his secret to the school?

Besides, with Vincent's talent, Quinn would definitely train him to the best of his ability. Therefore, she had nothing to worry about.

Teacher Chris glanced at Vincent.

Vincent still looked like he had nothing to live for.

He was really embarrassed after being carried by Teacher Chris like a princess twice in one day. Plus, she carried him in front of so many people. It was too embarrassing.

At the same time, Johnny descended from the sky and nodded at Teacher Chris. He then looked at Vincent.

"Little guy, what's your name? You're very brave!"

Vincent took a deep breath, collected his emotions, and revealed a faint smile.

"Mayor Johnny, my name is Vincent. I'm a first-year student at Quinn."

"You're a first-year student? A new student!"

Johnny was shocked by what Vincent had just said.

He initially thought that Vincent was at least a second-year student. He was so strong.

However, he never expected Vincent to be a first-year student.

"Wait!"

"A first-year freshman?"

"Quinn had not even started its new term yet." 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝒎

"Does that mean…?"

"You haven't officially enrolled yet?"

Johnny's voice was trembling as he spoke.

He was hoping that Vincent would correct him and say, "You guessed wrong.".

However, Vincent did not correct him.

Vincent nodded and looked at Johnny. He was curious.

"Did I not make myself clear?"

"I'm a first-year freshman!"

"I was pretty clear!"

Quinn had not officially started school for the year.

Therefore, it was only natural that he did not officially enter the school yet. He was a first-year freshman.

Was there a problem?

Chris stood to the side and looked at Johnny. She could tell that he was shocked. She then looked at Vincent who looked puzzled. She covered her mouth and laughed.

After a long time, Johnny finally came back to his senses.

He looked at Vincent with anticipation.

"Good! Good! The future of humanity is in sight! Hahahaha!"

"Vincent, are you interested in joining Hero City? I'll give you the position of Special Forces Squadron Leader."

Johnny looked at Vincent seductively.

"Special Forces Squadron Leader!"

Chris, Nyssa, and her friends were all shocked.

Avril looked at Vincent, her face was filled with jealousy.

Angelina and Nabil did not know how important the Special Forces Squadron Leader position was. They were confused.

Chapter 50

Angelina asked Avril, "Sister, is the Special Forces Squadron Leader a high position?"

She noticed that there were only a few dozen people in the Special Forces. They were all under the command of the City Guard General.

"The squadron leader position shouldn't be that prominent?"

Avril glanced at Angelina. Although she did not feel like explaining it to her, she felt that it was necessary to let her know the gap between her and Vincent.

"The Special Forces Squadron Leader position in Hero City is only second to Mayor Johnny and the Captain of the Special Forces."

"The Captain of the Special Forces position has always been vacant. Therefore, Vincent would actually become the number two figure in Hero City."

"As for the Captain of the Special Forces, only ten people have taken up the position in the past few decades."

Angelina still did not understand the importance of the position. If the position was so important, why would he still be under the command of the City Guard General?

"Although the Special Forces are led by Mayor Johnny, they have the ability to fight on their own."

Avril continued to explain, "In a war of this scale, it is actually very important for the Special Forces to join the fight."

"But, because the Special Forces doesn't have a captain, they become a pile of loose sand when they start attacking. That is why the City Guard General took over as their Captain for the time being."

Angelina and Nabil nodded and looked at Vincent with admiration. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

He was a first-year freshman at Quinn. He did not even start school yet, but he had already been offered a high position by Mayor Johnny. It was enough to show how important Vincent was to them.

However, Vincent refused to accept the position.

He did not come to Quinn just because he wanted to become stronger and have a bright future, he also wanted to know the whereabouts of his missing parents.

If St. John and Mokissner could provide Vincent with better treatment, he would have gone to one of those schools instead.

Just as he was about to refuse the offer, Teacher Chris stood up.

"City Lord Johnny, you're not doing it properly!" said Teacher Chris with a smile.

"You're poaching people from Quinn?"

"Aren't you afraid that Principal Sibis will come after you?"

Mayor Johnny laughed.

"General Sibis won't come after me just because of this," said Johnny indifferently.

"After all, he's more than willing to allow them to fight monsters."

Teacher Chris did not know how to refute Mayor Johnny.

Principal Sibis did indeed encourage students to fight monsters.

Fighting monsters alone in the wild was not as challenging as fighting monsters whilst defending the city.

If it was any other student, Teacher Chris might have let them go, but not Vincent.

She hinted to Johnny that she wanted to speak to him alone. She then turned to leave.

Mayor Johnny was stunned. What was so important that they had to speak alone?

Nevertheless, he still took the initiative to follow Teacher Chris.

The two walked to the side. Everyone was staring at them.

Teacher Chris looked at Mayor Johnny with a serious expression.

"He's the child of that couple. The couple has done enough for humans. You can't let their child do the same."

Mayor Johnny's expression changed. He turned to look at Vincent and saw him talking to the others.

"You're not lying to me? I thought the couple had no children?"

Teacher Chris sighed. "That couple dedicated their lives to save humanity. They did not say anything because they were afraid that other people would treat their children differently."

"We, Quinn, found out about his identity by accident."

She turned to look at Vincent. "If possible, we hope that he can live his life comfortably," said Teacher Chris.

"Alright, Chris, you've convinced me." Johnny looked at Vincent with respect.

His respect was not for Vincent, but his parents.

"It's such a pity. He has such great talent. If he worked at the front lines, he would definitely become the most dazzling figure."

"We can't say for sure what kind of life he wants to lead in the future, but we have no right to interfere."

Teacher Chris's tone was a bit confusing. "However, if he was willing, we won't stop him."

"It's just that the child has been obsessed with his parents. Maybe in the future…"

Teacher Chris did not finish her sentence, but Mayor Johnny could understand her clearly.

"He doesn't know his identity?"

Johnny was surprised.

Teacher Chris nodded. She did not say anything further.

Vincent on the other hand was being "interrogated" by Angelina and the others.

"Vincent, you're so strong!"

Nabil looked at Vincent with a slight admiration.

Angelina hugged Vincent tightly. Her huge breasts were pressing against Vincent's arms.

Angelina was very proud of Vincent's strength. She acted as if she was the one who received special treatment from Mayor Johnny.

Avril looked at Angelina with a gloomy face.

Does this girl not hold back?

Where was the pride of the Gaia clan?

She was so brazen. It is such a disgrace to the Gaia clan.

Although she felt like Angelina's actions were inappropriate, she still felt jealous after seeing Angelina hug Vincent.

Chris looked at Vincent, his face full of excitement. His muscles were trembling.

"Vincent, let's fight!"

Those who knew Chris's personality looked at him helplessly.

Those who did not know him were dumbfounded and speechless.

What is wrong with this person?

He charged so fiercely when facing the Monster Horde.

After the Monster Horde retreated, he wanted to start a fight with his own people.

It seemed like he could only do things through fighting!

Of course, Vincent did not pay any attention to Chris.

The guy would not stop talking to him as long as he paid attention to him.

He decided to just ignore him.

Nyssa and her friends congratulated Vincent and stood aside. They watch the situation unfold quietly.

"To be honest, Vincent, what do you think about Mayor Johnny's offer?" asked Nabil curiously.

Everyone kept quiet after hearing Nabil's question.

They looked at Vincent and waited for his answer.

Anyone would think that Mayor Johnny's offer was a good thing.

It was as if someone had the chance to ascend into the heavens in a single step.

Everything was happening so much faster than in school.

As long as one was not a fool, they knew what their choice would be.

Even though everyone knew what Vincent's answer would be, they still wanted to hear it from Vincent himself.

Vincent did not hesitate at all. He just smiled and shook his head.

"Although the offer is very tempting, I do not intend to leave Quinn."

"What?"

No one expected Vincent to give such an answer. They were all shocked.

"Vincent, you have to think it through! This is a rare opportunity that doesn't come often," advised Hixton.

"That's right! Vincent, we've always wanted to join the front line but we're not as qualified. This is our dream!"

Oscanthus glanced over at Teacher Chris and Mayor Johnny who were talking.

"Angelina, you need to advise your boyfriend to not do anything stupid!"

Nyssa looked at Angelina. She was hoping that Angelina would say something.

Angelina blushed. She raised her head to look at Vincent. She could see the determination in Vincent's face.

She shook her head. "I'll support any decision that Vincent makes."

The others also tried to persuade Vincent, hoping that he would change his mind.

Vincent just smiled. He did not say anything.

At that moment, Mayor Johnny and Teacher Chris walked back towards them. They heard them trying to persuade Vincent to take up the offer.

"Hahaha! Good lad, you have your own plan. You are not tempted by the benefits! Not bad! Not bad!"

Mayor Johnny laughed heartily.

Vincent thought that he would upset Mayor Johnny when he rejected his offer.

However, he did not expect Mayor Johnny to accept his response so well. It was beyond his expectations.

"I'm sorry, Mayor Johnny. I've let you down."

Mayor Johnny waved his hand and looked at the crowd.

"The city guards have duties to prevent the monsters from returning. Everyone else, please gather at the square. Let the celebration party begin!"

"Oh!"

Everyone shouted.

Chapter 51

On one side, Hero City was celebrating. On the other side, in a valley in the wilderness, the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex roared angrily into the sky.

All the monsters that were laying in front of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex started to move. Their eyes were filled with fear.

This was the sixth time the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex had attacked Hero City.

Although they did not win any of the fights, they had never lost so badly.

In the past, tens of thousands of monsters could at least reach the city wall.

However, this time, although there were 100,000 monsters, they could not even touch the city wall.

How could the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex not be angry?

Nevertheless, the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex knew that the monsters were not the issue.

It was very clear to it that Vincent was the issue. If Vincent was not there to help, the monsters would not have retreated so easily.

However, it was also because of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex itself that made the monsters retreat because of its sense of familiarity towards Vincent.

It was still its own fault in the end.

"Roar!"

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex roared again, and the monsters scattered instantly.

It looked at Hero City, spread its wings, and flew away.

The next day, Vincent and the others returned to Quinn School in Blazing City.

Teacher Chris and Bixby looked at the eight specially recruited students with a sad expression.

When they left, there were eleven people; however, only eight people came back alive.

Although they were prepared for something like that to happen, they still felt sad.

S-Class superpowered users! There were not many of them in the entire Falcon Nation.

Losing three people was a heavy loss but they still had to move on.

Teacher Chris took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, the main purpose of this trip was to test your combat strength."

"After considering all aspects, the rankings are as follows…"

"First place, Vincent."

"Second place, Chris."

"Third place, Nabil."

Everyone looked at Nabil with a surprised expression.

Everyone expected Vincent and Chris to be in the top two.

However, they did not expect Nabil to be in third place.

Nabil chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

"Surprise! Surprise!" he said.

Teacher Chris continued to speak, "Although Nabil's individual combat ability is not very strong, I'm sure you've all seen his ability when he was fighting alongside all of you."

Everyone nodded after listening to Teacher Chris.

Chris and Angelina had fought alongside Nabil.

They recalled the time when they rushed to the southwest side of Hero City to fight against the monsters. They were able to kill the monsters before they escaped.

Nabil's triple A-Class superpowers were too abnormal. 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Not only did he manage to take care of everyone on the battlefield, but his Holy Light Binding also saved Avril more than once.

He was also able to accurately control the monsters that ambushed him every time.

The six of them including Teacher Chris were able to withstand the attack of the southwest side monster.

The lethality caused by the 100,000 Lightning Strikes was only second to Vincent's Hellfire.

He managed to deal extremely high damage to the monsters.

Just like what Teacher Chris had said, although his individual combat ability was not very strong, the combat ability of the whole team doubled with him around.

After they all thought through it, everyone no longer had any questions about Nabil being in third place.

As no one objected to the ranking, Teacher Chris gave them a day off.

"I'll give all of you a day off today. At this time tomorrow, we'll be taking the final test, combat ability assessment," said Teacher Chris.

Chris's eyes lit up when he heard what Teacher Chris had said. He suddenly turned to look at Vincent.

He had been looking forward to fighting Vincent for a long time. This time, he could finally fight Vincent out in the open.

Avril was also eager to give it a try.

Although she knew that there was a gap between her and Vincent, she wanted to know how big the gap was.

The combat ability assessment was a very good opportunity.

Everyone dispersed. Vincent rejected the offer to have a meal together.

He went to the Exchange Office and exchanged crystals for points. He then walked toward the superpower training room.

He had gained a lot of new insights on the battlefield in Hero City, especially regarding the evolved Hellfire.

There were still many things that he needed to practice and develop.

For example, the Flaming Wings was a problem that he discovered. Although it could be used on the battlefield, he felt like he had not fully grasped the concept.

There were still areas that could be developed.

When Vincent reached the superpower training room, he increased the gravity by four times.

The Hellfire-shaped rocket hit the target and caused the target to explode.

The entire target was blasted into darkness.

Vincent looked at the pitch-black target and fell into deep thought.

"The destructive power has increased by more than half, and the degree of control has also doubled. Should I try to make the rocket turn?"

Vincent had always wanted to try and make the rocket turn sideways.

However, every time he wanted to make a turn, there would always be a problem.

The rocket would either scatter or hit the target before he could even react.

Vincent had been trying to figure out the reason behind it. After eliminating all the factors, Vincent concluded that it was probably due to his lack of control.

As he had upgraded Hellfire, his control over Hellfire had also improved by quite a bit. This gave him the confidence to try turning the Hellfire rocket.

He would do what he thought was right. This was Vincent's creed all along.

He summoned Hellfire and condensed it into a rocket. He then swung his hand and threw it at the left target.

The rocket flew outwards.

Vincent quickly tried to control it to make it deviate from its original position. The target was right in front of him.

"Duh!"

The rocket hit the target.

"Bang!"

It exploded with a bang.

Vincent was delighted.

Although the rocket did not hit the target directly in front of him, it still deviated from its original trajectory and hit the right edge of the left target. He almost missed the target.

Nevertheless, it proved that Vincent's idea was correct. The rocket turning was feasible.

Vincent would think that he was dreaming if he failed again.

For the rest of the night, he was focused on making the rocket turn.

After one night, Vincent looked at the time. It was almost time to meet Teacher Chris and the others. He turned off the gravity and walked out of the superpower training room.

Although he did not sleep for a night, Vincent did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he even felt a little excited.

When he arrived at the battlefield, no one else had arrived aside from Chris.

"Vincent, you can't reject me this time, right? Hehe."

Chris saw Vincent and tried to block his way.

Vincent looked at Chris and smiled bitterly.

Although he also wanted to fight Chris, he had not reached his ideal level yet.

Moreover, after looking at Chris's appearance, Vincent would not be able to rest easy in the future if he was defeated.

Vincent was speechless.

If Vincent went easy on Chris, it would be an insult to Chris.

It was supposed to be like sparring. However, if things went wrong, they might become mortal enemies.

There was no need for that!

"Vincent, don't you think about avoiding me. I admit that you're very strong, but I'm not weak either!"

Chris saw Vincent's bitter smile and was afraid that Vincent would not agree to fight him.

Vincent could only nod helplessly.

"Just once! If you lose, don't pester me again!"

Chris was very happy when he heard Vincent agreed.

"Good! Good! Good! Just one fight and I will no longer pester you!"

"Come on! Let's start first!"

Chris took out a piece of crystal and wanted to transform.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Vincent stopped him.

The others had not even arrived yet and Chris wanted to fight him already. What was going on?

Although Quinn did not forbid fighting, Vincent knew of the consequences of the fight. The two of them fighting would wreak havoc.

Plus, if they destroyed the school's public facilities, they would have to pay compensation.

Vincent did not have that much money to compensate the school.

"Let's wait for everyone to arrive before fighting. There's no rush."

Chris thought about it and felt that Vincent was right.

They had waited for so many days anyway. It is not too late yet.

As the two of them were talking, the others arrived one by one.

Teacher Chris and Bixby also walked over.

Chapter 52

"You all look like you are in good spirits!"

Teacher Chris smiled.

"Teacher Chris, can we start the battle?" asked Chris excitedly.

He glanced over at Vincent occasionally.

Bixby became unhappy as he glared at Chris.

"Stop it!" said Bixby.

Chris shrugged and curled his lips. He then looked at Teacher Chris with anticipation.

"Teacher Bixby and I discussed it last night. Today's match has been canceled."

She looked at the students.

"What? Canceled?"

Chris was surprised. He had been waiting for an opportunity like this to fight Vincent. Why was it canceled?

"Why? Teacher Chris!"

Chris was very anxious.

The others looked at Teacher Chris as well. They were very confused.

They were waiting for her explanation.

"I've made a comprehensive evaluation after the previous four assessments. I'm sure you all know the rankings already."

"Then, there's no point fighting."

Teacher Chris took out her notebook that had a record of everyone's results.

"The candidates for the special enrollment competition are Vincent, Chris, Avril, Angelina, and Nabil."

After the announcement, Teacher Chris looked at Nyssa, Hixton, and Oscanthus. "Do the three of you have any objections to this result?"

Nyssa, Hixton, and Oscanthus smiled wryly. How could they object? The five of them were so strong.

In this year's special enrollment competition, only five people could represent Quinn.

Before the assessment and selection began, Teacher Chris had already said that the top five students would participate in the competition.

The five of them had managed to fill the position.

Seeing was believing, so what objections could there be?

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "We have no objections."

Teacher Chris nodded and looked at the five chosen students.

"The specific rules of this special enrollment competition are out."

"The competition uses a point system. There are three types of battle methods: individual battle, two-on-two battle, and team battle."

"If you win one round, you get one point; if you lose one round, you lose one point; if you draw, you don't get any points."

"When the competition ends, the five people with the highest points will be the top five."

Teacher Chris took a deep breath and continued speaking, "You still have half a month left to train. In this half a month, cooperation is key."

Vincent and the others looked at each other and smiled after hearing what Teacher Chris had said.

When they were in Hero City, they had more or less cooperated with each other. Although they did not fight the monsters together for long, they had experienced battling the monsters together. They knew that they could trust each other completely.

"Alright, you are dismissed. You are free to move around. I will give you seven days. After seven days, Teacher Bixby and I will train your team's combat ability."

Teacher Chris gave Vincent a look and left with Bixby.

Every time the Monster Horde attacked the city, it would become the focus of everyone's attention. There was news all over Falcon Country regarding the battle in Hero City.

Vincent, in particular, was trending.

The Monsters' Nemesis!

No one knew who was the first to say his name. However, his name had been spread across the entire network.

Vincent's name was also tied to the words "Monsters' Nemesis."

In Caesar Manor in Ellis City, Swire was enjoying being massaged by four maids. His face was full of pleasure.

He had passed the examination at Quinn Advanced Superpower School and was officially a student.

Although he had not entered the school yet, his position had been confirmed.

His father was happy and told him that he would not interfere with his life in the future.

Swire's father had always been very strict with him. He was proud of him for becoming free and unrestrained.

After reading the news about Hero City, Swire clenched his fists excitedly.

He was especially excited about the news regarding the Monsters' Nemesis.

"To be able to repel the Monster Horde by himself, what kind of strength did he have to be able to do that?"

He did not dare to imagine it at all.

"Vincent?"

Swire was surprised. "He actually has the same name as that guy."

As he thought about it, he picked up his phone and called Vincent. 𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Vincent's phone was turned off, so he left a message.

"Hello, Vincent! Have you seen the news? Yesterday, Hero City was attacked by the Monster Horde."

"There is a powerhouse named Vincent who is known as the Monsters' Nemesis. He has the same name as you…"

"F*ck! It's actually you!"

Swire saw a picture. It was Vincent that he knew.

It had only been a month since he awakened!

Vincent had already grown to such a level?

"Nemesis of Monsters!"

"He's actually my friend!"

"Who could believe this?"

At the same time, on a mountain peak behind St. John's Advanced Superpower School, an old man was reprimanding the specially recruited teacher, Harry. He was angry.

"F*ck! Such a powerful child and you've failed to convince him to enroll in our school?"

The old man was Harrison Emerick. He was the principal of St. John Advanced Superpower School, the garrison general of the southwest part of Falcon Country, and a lord-class superpower user. He had an A-Class control type superpower, the Five Senses Deprivation.

Harry had a bitter smile on his face.

He had seen the news about Vincent.

Although Vincent had an S-Class superpower, who would have thought that he would be able to reach such a level in a short period of time!

If he had known earlier, he would have snatched Vincent away.

"I don't care what method you use. Vincent must be a student of St. John!"

Harrison almost roared.

"Principal Harrison Vincent has already applied for admission at Quinn. Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?"

Harry tried to remind him. His voice was low.

Harrison was stunned but he reacted immediately. He reprimanded Harry again, took out his cell phone, and dialed Principal Sibis's number.

At the other school, the Principal of Mokissner High School, Mike Bromonza, crushed his cell phone in anger.

"Sibis! You old thing! I saved your life! If you don't remember that you owe me a favor, then don't blame me!"

In Quinn's principal's office, Principal Sibis rubbed his temples. Although he was excited, he also had a headache.

He had just got off the phone with the principals of the two schools, St. John and Mokissner.

Both of them only wanted one thing and that was Vincent.

Although Hero City was a city that was built by the principals of Quinn against the monsters, it was not the most significant in existence in Falcon Country.

However, Hero City had experienced the Monster Horde. Everyone in the country knew about it through the news on their televisions and computers.

St. John and Mokissner naturally knew about it too.

After all, every time there was a Monster Horde, there would be death and destruction.

Humans have always been paying close attention to it.

Throughout the entire war, although Vincent's performance was not very eye-catching, anyone with a discerning eye could see how powerful Vincent truly was.

In particular, those who were above lord-class noticed Vincent. What they paid attention to was completely different from what the others paid attention to.

Naturally, they paid more attention to Vincent.

Chapter 53

Vincent did not know that he had become the center of attention.

He was too busy training in the superpower training room.

During the field training, he had become much stronger. However, there were still many things that he needed to stabilize.

After all, he only had seven days.

The time was neither long nor short. However, if Vincent relaxed, he would not be able to stabilize completely.

He had to seize every second.

Two days later, someone knocked on his superpower training room door.

"Teacher Chris? Why are you looking for me?"

Vincent looked at Teacher Chris who was standing outside his door, his face was full of curiosity.

Teacher Chris looked at Vincent with 30% gratification, 30% envy, and 40% sincerity.

"Principal Sibis wants to meet you."

Vincent was stunned. Why would Principal Sibis look for him all of a sudden?

"Thank you, Teacher Chris."

Vincent walked out of the superpower training room.

"May I know why Principal Sibis is looking for me?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

Teacher Chris did not say anything further. However, there was a great relief in her eyes.

"I think I should go take a shower first."

Vincent tugged at his clothes that were drenched in sweat.

"Otherwise, I think that it would be very rude."

Teacher Chris nodded after seeing Vincent drenched in his own sweat.

Although Vincent did not look sloppy, he had been living in the superpower training room for two days.

His entire body reeked of sweat. It was not ideal for him to go meet Principal Sibis in such a condition.

Vincent finished washing up and summoned his character panel in his villa.

Vincent smiled happily after seeing what had been displayed on the mission panel.

Although he was very tired after 48 hours of continuous training, the results were great.

Not only did he manage to transform Hellfire into various self-created combat skills, but he also developed the Fire Vine combat skill.

Vincent learned about it through the system.

It turned out that combat skills actually originated from the ability to shape-shift.

When one has mastered how to shape-shift a superpower, he or she will then be able to unleash it. They can then transform the superpower into different combat skills.

For example, the Rocket Arrow and Fire Net. Vincent always used them. Over time, they became an instinctive reaction when he was fighting enemies. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢

They were then transformed into combat skills.

As his combat skills were not perfect, only Vincent could use them.

For it to become an actual combat skill, it had to be something that people could learn and use.

However, Vincent did not know how to teach it to the others yet.

After changing his clothes, Vincent walked out of the bathroom.

Teacher Chris, who was sitting on the chair waiting for Vincent, showed an infatuated expression when she saw him.

It was not Teacher Chris's fault. Vincent was simply too handsome after taking a shower.

He was a determined young lad. He had a clear and logical way of doing things. He had a natural charisma.

After taking a shower, he added a hint of laziness and casualness to his charisma.

The huge contrast was fatal for the opposite sex.

"Teacher Chris? Are you alright?" asked Vincent curiously.

Teacher Chris's pretty face turned red.

"It's fine. Let's go. Principal Sibis is waiting for you anxiously."

She then stood up and walked out.

In the principal's office, Sibis, Harrison, and Mike were all looking at each other with unfriendly expressions.

Harry and Miller stood at the side and looked at each other with bitter smiles.

Obviously, they had both experienced the same thing.

Sibis looked at his two old friends and said with a red face and thick neck, "Vincent would never go to your school!"

"Sibis! Don't be shameless! A genius like Vincent should be taught by us, St. John!"

Harrison's saliva spilled out everywhere. He did not have the demeanor of an elder at all.

"Of course, we, St. John, are not people who would take things by force. Name your conditions!"

Mike sneered. "Harrison, it's been so many years. If you see any good seedlings, you, St. John, will snatch them!"

"Tell me yourself. Justin Kissner alone, how many students have you snatched away by force?"

Harrison's old face turned red. He then said disdainfully, "You still have the nerve to say that! You can't keep your own students, and you blame St. John?"

After seeing the two of them arguing, Sibis snorted coldly, "Let me put it this way, forget about the others. If any of you want to snatch Vincent from me, don't blame me for making a move!"

"You shut up!"

Harrison and Mike said in unison.

Sibis was speechless. What kind of joke was this?

Vincent was a student of Quinn. They came here to take his student away and told him to shut up.

"You think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"

Sibis flipped his hand, and a small black hole appeared in his palm.

Harrison and Mike, who were arguing, suddenly stopped.

Although the Quinn School was ranked last among the three advanced superpower schools, it did not mean that Sibis was weaker than them.

On the contrary, because Sibis could control space, his combat strength was much stronger than Harrison and Mike's.

The black hole in his palm was Sibis's ultimate skill. He would not use it at all under normal circumstances.

"Sibis! If there's a problem, we can just talk about it. Why do you have to do this?"

Harrison and Mike looked at each other and spoke in unison.

Sibis snorted coldly.

"Don't even think about Vincent. Other than that, you can ask me anything else that you want."

Mike opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, he was stopped by Harrison.

"Sibis, are you certain that other than Vincent, we can bring up any conditions?" asked Harrison seriously.

Harrison stared into Sibis's eyes.

Sibis's heart trembled for no reason. He kept feeling that Harrison was about to set him up.

Although he wanted to go back on his word, he had already said it. It was not good to go back on his word.

He could only nod helplessly. However, he still brought up some limitations. "This is only if I can do it. If I can't do it, it would be useless for you to bring it up."

Harrison chuckled. "You can definitely do it. I'm not the kind of person who would force others to do it."

Mike looked at Harrison curiously. He wanted to see what kind of request Harrison could make to give up on a good seedling like Vincent.

"Let's switch schools. You go to St. John, and I'll go to Quinn."

Sibis was stunned, but he immediately reacted.

This old guy could think of an idea like that.

How shameless!

Mike also felt like Harrison's request was a little too shameless.

"Harrison, what are you saying? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

He turned to Sibis and said, "I'll give you ten S-Class students, and you'll make me the principal of Quinn!"

Chapter 54

Harrison thought that Mike would say something nice. However, his actions were just too shameless.

Sibis was so angry that his face turned red. His body was trembling. He pointed at Harrison and Mike.

"Shameless! Too shameless!"

At that moment, someone knocked on the principal's office door.

"Come in."

Teacher Chris opened the door and walked in with Vincent.

Sibis looked at the two of them.

"Principal, Vincent is here."

As Vincent entered, the five people that were in the room looked at him with eager eyes.

Vincent knew Harry and Miller. They had met once before.

He greeted them by nodding slightly. He then walked to Principal Sibis.

"Principal Sibis."

Sibis looked at Vincent and suddenly thought of an idea. He quickly walked out from behind his desk and patted Vincent's shoulder affectionately.

"Good! Not bad! Looks like you did not laze around even after returning from the battlefield! As expected of a pupil of Sibis!"

Pupil?

Everyone was stunned especially, Harrison and Mike.

At their level, the word "pupil" was not something that could be used casually.

Once it was used, it meant that the two of them would be bound forever.

One of them would prosper and the other one would perish!

Vincent was confused as well. Did he just become Sibis's pupil?

"This old guy is becoming more and more shameless."

Harrison complained to Mike in a low voice.

Mike nodded in agreement.

"Come, Vincent, let me introduce you. This is the principal of St. John Advanced Superpower School, Harrison."

"This is the principal of Meissner Advanced Superpower School, Mike."

Although Vincent did not know what had happened, he still took the initiative to bow to the two of them as a sign of respect.

"Not bad! Not bad! He has good manners. He is a good seedling!"

Harrison praised Vincent.

"Are you interested in coming to St. John? You're so talented, I guarantee that all of St. John's resources will be available to you."

Mike quickly chimed in and promised Vincent the same thing.

Sibis did not expect the two of them to still hang on to the idea of snatching Vincent. They did not give up.

He was so angry that he panted heavily.

"Are you two done yet?"

"Sibis, what do you mean by that? We're just telling Vincent our conditions and we want to hear his decision. You can't possibly interfere with his freedom, right?"

Harrison looked at Sibis suspiciously and then gave Vincent a pitiful look.

Mike nodded in agreement.

"Don't you dare accuse me! I did not interfere with Vincent's freedom, but he is my student. Don't be shameless!"

Sibis's expression changed. As the principal, if he interfered with the freedom of a student, he would be court-martialed.

Vincent looked at the three of them. They were almost 300 years old. Why were they still arguing like children?

Obviously, he knew why the three of them were acting that way. It was because of him.

They wanted him to attend their school and become their student.

After seeing the three of them arguing endlessly, Vincent scratched the back of his head and looked to Teacher Chris for help.

Teacher Chris just smiled at Vincent. She did not say or do anything.

Although she did not want him to leave, she would still be happy if Vincent was able to train in a better environment.

This was not because she thought that Quinn could not teach Vincent well. It was because she wanted Vincent to have more resources and benefits.

The three principals who were arguing had already agreed to provide Vincent with at least B-Class psionic equipment.

There was not much psionic equipment available in Quinn. Plus, there was very little equipment that could reach B-Class.

"The two of you are getting on my nerves!"

Mike's eyes were red. He looked like a gambler who had lost badly.

"Vincent, as long as you come to Mokissner, you can use the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited," said Mike.

Sibis and Harrison looked at him in shock. They fell silent. 𝒍𝓲𝙗𝒓𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝙘𝒐𝓶

The Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited was from the black hole. Mokissner had paid a huge price to obtain it.

A person without any talent could instantly become a genius with just one drop of the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited.

This was because the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited would allow them to have a much better understanding of their superpower. For instance, if they wanted to train their combat skills, they would only need to put in half their effort and they could get twice the result.

However, this was not even the most powerful aspect of the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited. The most powerful aspect was that it did not have any side effects. Moreover, it would not weaken the effect if one used it often.

In Mokissner, only a few high-ranking officials and individuals who had made great contributions to the academy were qualified to get a drop of it every year.

Mike was willing to use the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited on Vincent. This was really shocking.

Although Vincent did not know what the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited was, he could tell from the expressions of everyone present that it was a rare treasure.

He was honestly very tempted.

He thought that the conditions provided by the teachers previously were good enough. He did not expect the principals to provide him with even better conditions.

Although he was tempted, Vincent had no intention of going to Mokissner.

On one hand, it was only a matter of time until he became stronger. With the system by his side, he did not have much desire for the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited.

On the other hand, Quinn could provide him with clues regarding the disappearance of his parents. That was what he wanted most.

He also had teachers and friends who cared for him in Quinn. These were things that he could not give up.

Just as he wanted to speak up and stop the three principles from arguing, Sibis took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Teacher Chris. He raised his hand and took out a black token.

"Chris, take my token and go to the treasure vault to get the Awakening Stone."

Harrison and Mike both gasped when they heard what he said.

Harrison said in a deep voice, "Sibis, are you serious?"

Mike also had a serious look on his face.

"Sibis, that's something you left for yourself in case you need it!" said Mike.

Teacher Chris took the token and turned to leave. Before she left, she looked at Vincent with envy.

Vincent could tell from their expression that the Awakening Stone was more precious than the Epiphany Holy Water Unlimited.

"Sibis, you have to think carefully. After so many years, we have only found one Awakening Stone," said Harrison.

Sibis waved his hand. "It's just a stone. If we can't find it now, it doesn't mean that we can't find it in the future. I haven't had the time to use it yet."

He then revealed a smug expression. "You two old geezers, if you can provide Vincent with something of the same level as the Awakening Stone, Vincent can go with you. I won't say anything else!"

Harrison and Mike looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

They really did not have anything of the same level as the Awakening Stone.

Shortly afterward, Teacher Chris walked in with a black box that was made of an unknown material.

"Principal, the Awakening Stone."

Sibis took it and handed it over to Vincent.

Vincent had made his decision earlier. At the same time, he apologized to Harrison and Mike.

Vincent also learned about the function of the Awakening Stone from Sibis.

It could allow a superpower user to awaken another superpower of the same level.

For example, if Sibis had an S-Class superpower and used it, he would awaken another S-Class superpower.

This shocked Vincent to the core.

He was about to have four S-Class superpowers?

Two superpowers were already very rare. Three superpowers were as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin Horns. Four superpowers were absolutely unprecedented!

Moreover, it was an S-Class superpower. Vincent had no idea how powerful he would become after using the Awakening Stone.

He was looking forward to it.

Chapter 55

Harrison and Mike knew that there was no point staying anymore. They got up to leave.

Before they left, they tried to rope Vincent in one last time.

"Vincent, you can come over to St. John anytime to play! St. John's door is always open for you."

"If you don't want to hang out in Quinn anymore, come to Mokissner."

Sibis's face turned sour. How dare they say such a thing?

"What do you mean by that? Is Quinn that bad?"

"Get lost! Get lost now!"

Sibis snapped at Harrison and Mike.

Harry and Miller, who had been silent the whole time, looked at each other and smiled. That was a load off their chests.

The two of them had been reprimanded by their respective principals countless times. They were labeled as student waste and academy vermin.

However, after this incident, they no longer felt ashamed for failing to convince Vincent to become a student of their schools.

It was unlikely that the two principals would say anything further to them.

The four of them left. Only Vincent, Sibis, and Teacher Chris were left in the principal's office.

Sibis looked at Vincent with a gratified expression. "When do you plan on using the Awakening Stone?"

Vincent thought for a moment and answered, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until I've stabilized my gains and cultivation from Hero City."

"Not bad! You're neither arrogant nor impatient. You're indeed worthy to be my student!"

Vincent smiled faintly. Actually, he did not want to use it yet because he did not know what the effects were. If his other two S-Class superpowers were exposed, then he would be in serious trouble.

However, when he least expected it, Sibis asked him, "Vincent, in regard to your other two S-Class superpowers, is one related to monster intimacy and the other related to training?"

Vincent's expression changed after hearing Sibis's question. His muscles tensed up and his face was full of vigilance.

Teacher Chris who was standing at the side was shocked to the core.

When Sibis saw Vincent's expression, he laughed out loud. He knew that he had guessed it correctly.

"Our Quinn is finally going to rise up!"

Vincent looked at Sibis warily and did not say anything.

Although he was very clear that he did not have a fighting chance against Sibis if a battle were to happen, he could not just sit around and wait for death.

"Vincent! Don't worry. The country that you're in is Falcon Country. Right now, you're on Quinn's land. You're very safe here!"

Sibis sat down. "We only hope that rising stars like you will become stronger and stronger. No one would try to kill you after failing to rope you in."

Vincent still did not let his guard down. He stared at Sibis. There was not a hint of pretense on his face. He slowly calmed himself down.

Teacher Chris suddenly voiced out. She was so excited that her voice was trembling. "Principal Sibis, are you saying that Vincent is a three S-Class superpower user?" asked Teacher Chris.

The news really changed her perspective of the world.

How could there be such a talented individual?

Three S-Class superpowers! There had never been someone who had three S-Class superpowers in the history of mankind.

It was no wonder that Vincent's cultivation speed was so fast, and his control over his superpowers was so high!

Given that he had three S-Class superpowers, it was only normal for him to possess such cultivation speed.

Wait a minute!

The Awakening Stone!

If Vincent used the Awakening Stone, then he would be…

A four S-Class superpower user!

Oh my god!

Teacher Chris felt that her brain was malfunctioning. She felt dizzy and her body was shaking. If she was not leaning against the wall, she would have fallen onto the ground.

Sibis nodded at Teacher Chris and confirmed her suspicions.

Three S-Class superpowers. Even a powerhouse like Sibis who had explored the world had never heard of such a thing.

Although Vincent's background was one of the reasons why Sibis wanted to keep him in Quinn, it was also because of his monstrous talent.

It would be a piece of cake for Vincent to become a Garrison General like him in the future.

In fact, as long as Vincent wanted to continue rising in ranks, it would not be difficult for him to become a Marshal.

After all, in the entire Falcon Country, there were only two superpowered users who have been conferred the title of a Marshal!

Vincent would definitely be the third!

He would become the pillar of Falcon Country!

Sibis was quite glad that Harrison and Mike did not discover that Vincent had three S-Class superpowers.

Otherwise, the Awakening Stone might not have been enough to make them give up the fight for Vincent.

Before they left, they did not forget to pull Vincent aside to look at the Awakening Stone.

"Vincent, just put your heart at ease. No one in the entire Falcon Country will harm you!"

"In this world, everyone has their own secrets. This is not something strange."

Vincent felt completely at ease after hearing what Sibis had said.

He knew very well that wherever he went in the Monster Horde, the monsters would move aside for him. Moreover, his cultivation speed was indeed much faster than the average person.

As long as he was careful, he would be fine.

An ordinary person might not be able to discover anything about Vincent. They would only think that Vincent's Hellfire superpower was very strong. However, it was impossible for a powerhouse like Sibis to not discover the truth.

After digesting all the information, Teacher Chris was finally able to control her emotions. She looked at Vincent and revealed a bitter smile.

"You hid it really well!"

"I was actually stunned by your cultivation speed. Now that I think about it, you're so freakish. Why should I be surprised?"

"I'm really curious. As a future S-Class superpowered user, what kind of glory will you achieve?"

Vincent was still very indifferent towards Teacher Chris's praise.

Sibis suddenly became serious. He looked at Vincent and said, "Previously, Johnny wanted you to join Hero City and become the Squadron Leader of the Special Forces. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Vincent told him his thoughts. Sibis burst into laughter after listening to Vincent.

"Vincent, there's a problem with how you think. Why do you want to leave Quinn just because you joined Hero City?"

Vincent was stunned.

What did he mean by that? He would be a member of Hero City if he became the Squadron Leader.

How could he join Hero City without leaving Quinn?

Sibis explained, "Hero City was originally built by us, Quinn. Naturally, it is under our control."

"Many senior students would join Hero City to gain experience. At the same time, it can also be considered as a career path after graduation."

"As for Hero City's Special Forces, there are no restrictions. They will only gather together when there is a Monster Horde."

"When you have class, you can return to the academy to study. When you have nothing to do, you can also go to Hero City to spar with everyone and get to know them better."

After hearing Sibis's explanation, Vincent suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

Teacher Chris's expression changed. She quickly asked Principal Sibis, "Principal Sibis, isn't the Special Forces too dangerous for Vincent? He's just a beginner-level superpowered user!"

Sibis waved his hand. "It's true that he's a beginner-level superpowered user, but do you think that his combat ability is something that a beginner-level superpowered user would have?" 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"Besides, the Special Forces are all future powerhouses. Being together with them will make Vincent feel more pressured. This is a good thing for him."

"Or do you think that the people in our academy can give him pressure?"

"Only with pressure can one grow. Although Vincent has always been hard-working in his training, this kind of growth is too slow for him."

Teacher Chris thought about it and felt that what Sibis said was true. She looked at Vincent who was eager to give it a try and patted her forehead.

She had forgotten that this guy was a battle maniac like Chris!

As for the Special Forces, Vincent understood that there were only two main tasks.

One was to hunt high-level monsters to ensure that the monsters around Hero City were not high-level.

His other task would arise if there was a Monster Horde. He would be responsible for killing high-level monsters.

Other than that, there was really nothing else.

In addition, the Special Forces were full of strong people. They would at least be stronger than most of the students in Quinn. Naturally, Vincent wanted to be with stronger people.

Moreover, the system also encouraged him to only kill monsters that were high-level. This was because the rewards for high-level monsters were more generous. Vincent was eager to give it a try.

"I agree to join the Special Forces!"

Chapter 56

Vincent left the principal's office. Teacher Chris frowned at Sibis.

"Principal Sibis, did you really choose Vincent to participate in the God Slayer Project?" asked Teacher Chris.

Sibis nodded. His face was serious.

"We don't have much time left."

"Recently, there have been many lord-tier monsters appearing in the black hole. This indicates that the monsters are planning to do something big."

"Vincent is the son of God. The usual teaching methods will not be effective on him."

Teacher Chris was still worried.

"You know the members of the Special Forces. They are all a bunch of unruly fellows. Will there be unnecessary trouble if Vincent suddenly becomes the Squadron Leader?"

Sibis gave Teacher Chris a meaningful glance. "Let's see how Vincent handles this position. If he can't even handle a few dozen people, he won't become the captain of the God Slayer Project."

"You! You want… You want him to be the captain of the God Slayer Project?"

"Isn't this too…"

Teacher Chris could not bear to hear it.

Sibis stood up and patted Teacher Chris on the shoulder. He sighed and said, "The greater the superpower, the greater the responsibility."

"Humans owe their family. Plus, this is their family's mission!"

"We can only try our best to help him grow stronger before that day comes and everything is over."

"Alright, you can leave first. The special enrollment competition is coming up, and this is also part of the God Slayer project. We must not make any mistakes."

Teacher Chris nodded silently.

She turned around and left the principal's office without saying goodbye.

The God Slayer project… More like a suicide plan…

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Vincent received another notification from Teacher Chris in the group chat asking him, Chris, Avril, Angelina, and Nabil to head to the battlefield.

When he arrived at the battlefield, he saw that Chris had arrived early. Chris looked at Vincent, his face full of eagerness.

He had always wanted to fight Vincent. However, due to various reasons, he did not have the chance to fight him. Chris made up his mind that no matter what happens, he would definitely fight Vincent on that day.

However, Vincent completely ignored him. Although he also wanted to fight Chris, he was very clear on what he needed to do.

"Vincent! Take this!"

Chris did not say anything further and attacked Vincent. Nonetheless, he did not use his superpower.

Although he did not use his superpower, his experience fighting throughout the years had made him extremely powerful.

His attack speed was very fast.

Vincent dodged his attack.

Chris missed his first attack. He continued attacking. He was certain that Vincent would not be able to dodge all his attacks.

Although the two of them had not spent much time together, Chris knew that Vincent was also a battle maniac.

He could tell that they were of the same kind.

Vincent continued to dodge and did not fight back.

"Vincent! Why aren't you attacking? Are you looking down on me?"

Chris roared and took out a crystal. He looked as if he was going to use his superpower at any moment.

"Chris, you and I both know that it is not a good time to fight."

"I don't care! I want to finish the battle with you today!"

"Roar!"

Chris roared and activated his superpower. He turned into a black cheetah with wings on its ribs.

He became an intermediate-level monster. He was a black cheetah with a pair of wings. His fangs and claws were sharp, and every attack would ripple across space.

Vincent did not want to be careless. With a flip of his hand, he summoned Hellfire.

Chris let out an excited roar and flew towards Vincent after seeing him summon Hellfire.

However, just as he was less than a meter away from Vincent, he felt a huge force coming in between the both of them. Chris was then sent flying.

"Chris! The special enrollment competition is coming up. Is this the time for you to mess around?"

Teacher Chris was angry.

Chris heard Teacher Chris's angry tone. His aggressiveness subsided. He retracted his wings and drooped his ears. He was scared.

Vincent smiled and retracted Hellfire.

Chris also deactivated his superpower and transformed into his human form. He lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Teacher Chris.

Teacher Chris gave a cold snort and stopped reprimanding Chris.

At that moment, Angelina, Avril, and Nabil walked over together.

When Teacher Chris saw that everyone had arrived, she exchanged glances with Bixby.

"The team training has officially begun!"

Bixby started to explain.

"This team training is divided into two parts."

"The first part will last for three days. The five of you will fight against me and Teacher Chris. If you can last for 30 minutes, you will pass."

"The second part will last for two days. You will head to the black hole and fight with the monsters there. If you manage to kill five high-level monsters, you will pass."

"Of course, if you are not able to complete the two parts of the training, it's fine. The main thing is to practice your team cooperation."

"However, all of you are geniuses. I believe that you would not want to participate in the special enrolment if you all failed your training."

After Bixby finished speaking, Vincent and the others looked at each other. They could see the strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Even Angelina who had never been interested in training appeared to be full of motivation.

"Alright, you may now communicate with each other. The battle will begin in ten minutes."

After Teacher Chris finished speaking, she turned around and left with Bixby.

As they left, everyone looked at Vincent simultaneously.

After all, Vincent finished first in the previous selection. He was also the team leader. It was not shocking for everyone to turn to him.

Vincent did not give in to their stares. Instead, he lowered his head to think for a moment.

"Avril is in charge of the frontal attack. Chris is in charge of protecting Angelina and Nabil. I will coordinate with Avril's attack and find an opportunity to restrict Teacher Chris and Bixby. Listen to my orders and focus on the fire."

The four of them nodded. They agreed with Vincent's arrangements.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Teacher Chris and Bixby stood in front of them.

"Are you guys ready?" asked Teacher Chris with a smile.

The five of them looked at each other and nodded solemnly. They all displayed their superpowers.

Teacher Chris smiled in satisfaction after seeing the five of them standing firm.

She wiped her right hand on her waist and took out a dagger.

"Then, let the battle begin."

After Teacher Chris finished speaking, Bixby faded and disappeared.

Teacher Chris bowed slightly and suddenly rushed towards Avril who was standing at the front.

Avril had two mountain-splitting axes in her hands, a longsword and a crossbow on her back, and a throwing knife and dagger on her waist.

Avril started to spin after seeing Teacher Chris running towards her.

She used her Fury superpower as it would increase her combat power by ten times instantly.

Ding!

As soon as she made contact with Teacher Chris, the spinning stopped. She took a step back abruptly.

At the same time, the tremendous force caused by Avril's spinning sent Teacher Chris flying.

Teacher Chris was a high-level superpowered person after all. Although she was sent flying, she adjusted her body in the air and dashed towards Avril again.

Avril's Fury superpower could only last for one minute. Even if she tried to hold on, she could only last for a maximum of three minutes.

It was not enough to rely on Avril alone. Plus, the gap between her and Teacher Chris was huge.

They also had to take into consideration Bixby who disappeared. As a high-level superpowered person, even if Bixby's power was not an attack-type, his body strength was definitely better than all of them.

"Chris, you need to transform into a Berserk Grizzly Bear! Replace Avril!" 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Nabil, buff Chris's status. Also, summon 100,000 Lightning Strikes to hinder Teacher Chris's attack!"

"Angelina, prepare to absorb Hellfire!"

Vincent commanded while summoning the Hellfire net to protect everyone.

Chapter 57

When Chris and Nabil heard Vincent's order, they moved instantly without any hesitation. 𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

However, there was a downside in doing so. There was a loophole in their defense.

Vincent had no other choice. Due to Teacher Chris's attack frequency and intensity, it was likely that Avril would not be able to last for long. This would be the first time that her Fury superpower had failed her. She was about to lose her ability to fight.

At this point, Vincent could only make temporary adjustments and use Hellfire to defend. After Chris took over Avril, Avril could then fill in the gaps in the defense.

Although Vincent had thought it through well and made the necessary adjustments to defend, he was still caught off guard by Bixby. Even his Hellfire idea had failed him.

Bixby suddenly appeared behind Nabil and Angelina. Bixby pointed two hand knives behind their necks. The two of them froze and could no longer fight.

Vincent saw Bixby and immediately cast Flash. Although Bixby tried to dodge, he was still hit by Flash. His clothes were immediately set on fire, and Bixby was engulfed in flames.

Vincent was afraid that Bixby would get injured, so he quickly withdrew Hellfire.

However, just as he was about to react, he heard Bixby's voice coming from behind him.

"Student Vincent, when dealing with an enemy, you must not have the slightest bit of compassion!"

He then aimed at Vincent's neck.

The moment Vincent heard Bixby's voice, he immediately pounced forward and cast Flash again.

"Teng!"

Bixby was ignited.

However, Vincent did not let his guard down. After all, Bixby's sudden appearance behind him was really strange.

He was burning right in front of him. How could he suddenly appear behind him?

Chris and Avril completed their swap in a short period of time. However, Angelina and Nabil both fainted and lost their strength to fight. There was no point for Avril to return.

Vincent's eyes were focused and filled with determination.

"Chris, Avril, attack Teacher Chris with all your might!"

He raised his hand and cast Hellfire. He then wrapped himself using Hellfire. This way, at the very least, he would not be attacked by Bixby.

After hearing Vincent's order, Chris and Avril started to attack Teacher Chris. They could hear the determination in Vincent's command. They did not hold back.

Even though Teacher Chris was a high-level superpowered user, she still felt challenged by the two of them.

Plus, Chris's special superpower allowed him to transform into a monster. This made Teacher Chris feel helpless.

Teacher Chris wanted to attack. However, she could not move at all when he transformed into a defensive monster.

She could not attack when he transformed into an offensive monster.

She had to stay away from him when he transformed into a speed monster to trap her.

Avril was still fully capable of attacking. Teacher Chris had no other choice but to wait until they used up their psionic power.

They were their elders and were high-level superpower users. However, they had to wait until they finished using their psionic power before they could win. It was simply too shameful.

Vincent did not stop attacking either. While he was defending against Bixby's attacks, he used Rocket Arrows and Flash to attack Teacher Chris.

"Be careful!"

Vincent's eyes suddenly widened just as he reminded Chris and Avril.

He saw Bixby suddenly appearing behind the two of them. He attacked the back of their necks.

At the same time, Avril's Fury superpower ran out.

Vincent's reminder was on time. Avril managed to unleash Fury one last time. However, she was still hit by Bixby and fainted.

Chris was still fine. After transforming into a Rock Snake, it was not so easy to knock him out.

It was two against two. There was clearly no chance of winning even from the start.

"Teacher Chris and Bixby, we admit defeat!"

Vincent yelled out helplessly. Although he was upset about the result, there was nothing he could do.

Chris also agreed with the final result. He fell to the ground after using his superpower.

Only Vincent and Chris were not injured. However, the psionic power in Chris's body had depleted severely. Chris was stuffing restorative medicine in his mouth one by one.

Teacher Chris and Bixby stopped their attacks and stood side by side. They looked at Vincent, Chris, and the other three who had fainted.

"One minute. That's shorter than I expected."

Teacher Chris frowned at Vincent. "There's nothing wrong with your arrangements, but if you make a sudden change without learning the opponent's superpower, the enemy will find a loophole, just like what happened before."

Vincent understood clearly. In fact, their failure was mainly due to his adjustment in their positions. This gave Bixby the opportunity to attack them.

Even if Bixby was not a ghost, it would still be the same result if it were another agility-type superpower user.

In the end, he, the team leader, made the wrong decision.

The four of them followed his orders without any hesitation. This proved that there was no issue with trust.

Although there were other factors such as their slow speed when changing positions, it was not the main reason they failed.

"Wake them up and rest for an hour. Let's continue after that."

Vincent nodded and woke them up. The five of them sat together and began to reflect on the battle earlier.

Vincent felt guilty. "I'm sorry, everyone. It was my mistake that we failed."

"It's okay. It's not entirely your fault. After all, they are two high-level superpowered users."

Angelina quickly comforted him.

The others nodded in agreement. Even Avril who had been giving Vincent a cold look nodded.

"Vincent, in my opinion, we're still too slow this time. As long as we're fast enough, the so-called flaw won't be a flaw anymore," said Nabil as he pushed up his glasses.

"Tell me, how should we fight next time? Although the chance of winning is very small, I won't admit defeat just like that!"

Chris was full of fighting spirit. He waved his fists in the air.

After hearing everyone's comforting words, Vincent felt very grateful. He did not want to continue dwelling on this matter.

Vincent frowned. He thought for a moment and said, "This time, we'll change our tactics. Chris and I will focus on attacking, while Avril protects Angelina and Nabil."

"Angelina, pay attention to absorbing Teacher Bixby's superpower. As long as he doesn't appear suddenly, we won't fail so quickly."

"Nabil, your three superpowers have control, attack, and status buffs. Depending on the situation, you can decide which superpower you want to release."

After listening to Vincent's arrangements, everyone reflected on it for a moment. It was indeed much more stable than before, so they agreed.

Avril frowned. "What exactly is Teacher Bixby's superpower? How is it that he can suddenly appear? Plus, he was everywhere."

"It should be something like doppelgangers or concealment, but these are two separate superpowers! Could it be that Teacher Bixby has two superpowers?"Angelina guessed.

"No, Bixby's superpower has always been very mysterious. Very few people in the academy know about his superpower. However, one thing is certain. Teacher Chris would not be a match for Teacher Bixby," said Chris whilst frowning.

As he was a senior student, it was not unusual that he knew more about the teachers. Therefore, what he said was believable.

The five of them knew very well that Teacher Bixby was the main issue. It was Bixby that they had to look out for.

After watching the five of them discussing intensely, Teacher Chris and Bixby were very satisfied with their performance.

It was indeed quite impressive for them to last one minute in an attack with two high-level superpowered users.

After all, aside from Chris, the other four were all low-level superpowered users.

In the principal's office, Sibis was standing by the window. He shook his head after watching the battle.

"Chris and Bixby have gone too far. They actually used their superpowers on the five children."

However, he was not ashamed. After all, he did agree to let Teacher Chris and Bixby carry out the team training.

Chapter 58

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Most of them had recovered by then.

Teacher Chris and Bixby walked over and started the second battle.

Three minutes later, Vincent and the others were defeated once again. As usual, it was because of Bixby's mysterious appearance and disappearance. It directly destroyed the students' defenses from the inside.

Vincent and his team had a group discussion once again.

The third battle began shortly afterward.

Over the next two days, the five of them fought against Teacher Chris and Bixby more than 30 times. Although the duration of the battle increased over time, they still did not manage to last half an hour.

Dusk was falling rapidly. They had to move on to the second phase of the team battle training the next day. It was their last chance to fight against Teacher Chris and Bixby.

If they could not fight them for at least half an hour, they would be known as losers. This was something that none of them could accept.

"Everyone! This is our last chance. Last time, we fought for 25 minutes before we lost. This means that this time, we only need to hold on for another five minutes."

"After so many battles, we roughly know Teacher Chris and Bixby's fighting style. Let's learn from our mistakes and pay attention to Teacher Bixby," said Vincent in a low voice.

Vincent looked at the four of them with a dark expression.

The four of them nodded in unison. After three days of cooperating and fighting together, their tacit understanding had improved. They knew what to do without Vincent saying a word most of the time.

For example, in the last battle, Vincent and Chris managed to restrict Teacher Chris's movements. Nabil seized the opportunity to predict Teacher Chris's position. He then released his Holy Light Binding superpower and locked Teacher Chris in place.

Although it was only for one second, it gave Vincent and Chris the opportunity to attack Teacher Chris.

However, Bixby suddenly made an appearance. If it was not for Bixby, Teacher Chris would have been injured.

The final battle started. Chris transformed into an Iron Plate Gibbon and stood in front of Vincent.

Vincent grabbed a fire vine with both hands and jumped directly on Chris.

"Roar!"

Chris roared and rushed towards Teacher Chris excitedly.

Teacher Chris activated her superpower and dodged left.

However, just as she was about to use her superpower, two fire vines came swinging towards her from both sides.

Teacher Chris did not panic after seeing the two fire vines inches away. She stepped on the ground and jumped into the air.

"Now!"

Nabil's eyes lit up. He raised his hand and used Holy Light Binding. At the same time, he released 100,000 Lightning Strikes.

When he appeared, Bixby, who was about to launch a sneak attack on Angelina, quickly dodged.

However, his clothes were still damaged by the 100,000 Lightning Strikes.

"Good lad, you've improved!" 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

Bixby praised Nabil. His figure slowly faded again.

"Teacher Bixby, don't go!" shouted Angelina whilst looking at Teacher Bixby.

"Absorb!"

Bixby froze. The flow of spiritual energy in his body suddenly slowed down.

"Teacher Bixby, see you later."

As Angelina said this, her body gradually faded, and she disappeared.

Bixby's face changed. He forced himself to increase the flow of his spiritual energy. His body completely disappeared as well.

He was very clear on how strong his superpower was. However, as his superpower had been absorbed by Angelina, it would not be so easy for him to sneak up on them anymore.

Although Angelina's level was not as high as Bixby's, her superpower was still very powerful. The way she used her superpower was almost perfect.

She was not inferior to Bixby at all.

Vincent looked at Teacher Chris, who was frozen in mid-air and smiled.

"Teacher Chris, I'm sorry!"

"Avril, psionic gatling!"

Avril, who had been standing still at the back, took out a blue Gatling. The Gatling was bigger than her.

She aimed the muzzle at Teacher Chris and pulled the trigger.

"Da, da, da, da!"

The Gatling bullets emitted blue flames and surrounded Teacher Chris.

Teacher Chris's expression changed drastically. She could not move at all because Nabil was restraining her using his Holy Light Binding superpower.

On top of that, Vincent also used his Hellfire net to wrap Teacher Chris up tightly.

After seeing that the bullets were about to hit Teacher Chris, Vincent waved his hand and closed the fire net to block all the bullets.

"Teacher Chris, you lost! If I did not use Hellfire to block the bullets just now, you would have died!" Vincent said to Teacher Chris with a smile.

However, Teacher Chris did not respond.

Vincent was confident that they had won. However, he suddenly frowned.

Something was not right!

Teacher Chris was not protected by Hellfire.

Vincent got off Chris and threw Hellfire onto the ground.

Whoosh! In an instant, Vincent was in the center of a 30-meter-wide ring of fire.

He was using it to find Chris, but he found nothing.

"That's not right! The person who fought us just now was not Teacher Chris!"

Vincent's expression changed as he told Chris.

At the same time, the flame on Avril's psionic Gatling had also been extinguished.

All of a sudden, Chris cried out in pain. His huge body fell to the ground, and he fainted.

Following that, Vincent saw a shadow coming towards Avril and Nabil.

The two of them did not even manage to let out a cry. Before they even knew it, they had fallen onto the ground and fainted.

Only Vincent and Angelina were left to continue the fight. However, Angelina had disappeared.

Teacher Chris revealed herself outside Vincent's ring of fire. Her feet were bare.

Although she was a high-level superpowered user, Vincent's Hellfire was still too overbearing. It was impossible for her to pass through it without paying a price.

She had even lost her pair of shoes to the fire.

"Vincent, do you still want to continue?"

Teacher Chris looked at Vincent and smiled.

Vincent's expression slowly returned to normal as he looked at Teacher Chris.

"Teacher Chris, did you really think that we were the ones who were attacked just now?"

"What?"

Teacher Chris's smile froze.

"Do it!"

Vincent shouted in a low voice.

Whoosh!

As Vincent shouted, a mountain-splitting ax suddenly appeared in front of Teacher Chris. The sharp edge of the ax was only one centimeter away from her eyes.

"Teacher Chris, you lost."

Vincent chuckled.

At that moment, Bixby and Angelina also revealed themselves.

Teacher Chris and Bixby were both dumbfounded. What was going on?

How could they lose?

Clearly, everything was under control.

Their gazes swept back and forth between Avril who was holding the mountain-splitting ax and Avril that had fainted on the ground.

Vincent gave Angelina a look. Angelina then waved her hand. The three people who were originally lying on the ground shattered into pieces and disappeared.

After seeing this, Teacher Chris and Bixby suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out that the two of them had fallen into Vincent's trap since the beginning of the battle.

From the moment Angelina absorbed Bixby's superpower, other than Vincent, the other four of them were just illusions.

They were like clones.

Mirror Clone was Bixby's superpower.

It was an A-Class special superpower that could create a clone that was exactly the same as the target. The clone would then have 100% of their combat power, while the real person would stay hidden.

Teacher Chris and Bixby initially used the Mirror Clone superpower to lure Vincent and the others to attack. Vincent and the others did the same thing in return.

However, Vincent was even more ruthless. He left himself behind as bait to confuse Teacher Chris and Bixby.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll attack you first?"

Teacher Chris asked Vincent with a puzzled expression.

Vincent smiled confidently. "I'm confident that Teacher Chris and Bixby will not be the first to attack me."

As he spoke, he gazed at Teacher Chris's bare feet.

Teacher Chris was stunned, but she still nodded in agreement.

Taking the initiative to attack Vincent was indeed much riskier. Hellfire was simply too overbearing.

At the same time, she was also very appreciative of Vincent. To be able to come up with such a plan and put it into action, he must have courage, caution, and confidence.

"I announce that the first part of the team training has been successfully completed!" Teacher Chris announced loudly.

"Yeah!"

Angelina jumped up happily. Even Avril, who had a cold expression, revealed a faint smile.

"Tomorrow, we'll gather here again. I'll bring you all to the black hole for the second phase of team training."

Teacher Chris smiled and dismissed them. She then left with Teacher Bixby.

Three days of high-intensity combat had exhausted them all. They greeted each other before returning to their respective dormitories.

Chapter 59

The next morning, Vincent and the others arrived at the battlefield once again. Teacher Chris and Bixby then led them to the black hole.

There were two black holes in Blazing City. They were located in different areas. One was located in the forbidden area behind Quinn's main school, and the other was located behind the defensive mountain range outside the city.

Teacher Chris led Vincent and the others to the black hole behind Quinn as the black hole there was relatively safer.

Quinn's teachers and students would go to the black hole regularly for training. Their main purpose was to kill monsters and control the number of monsters in the black hole. This was to prevent the monsters from rebelling and breaking the seal.

The black hole was in a cave. There was a team of 100 people guarding the cave. They were made up of Quinn's teachers and students. They needed to be at least mid-level superpowered users in order to guard the cave.

When Vincent and his team arrived, everyone could feel a strong murderous aura coming from the cave.

"Teacher Chris? What are you doing?"

The teacher who was stationed there knew Teacher Chris. He was puzzled when he saw Teacher Chris leading a group of students to the black hole.

He had a scar across his face. The scar started from his left sideburns and ended on his right chin. Although he looked kind, people would still get shocked after seeing him for the first time.

"These are the students who are participating in the special enrollment competition. I've brought them to the black hole to train."

As she spoke, she handed over her teacher's identification card as proof of her identity.

The teacher nodded. After verifying Teacher Chris and Bixby's identities, he greeted Vincent and his team with a smile.

"Students, show me your student identification cards."

Vincent and the others handed over their student identification cards. The teacher checked their ID cards and revealed a surprised expression.

"They are all new students? Teacher Chris, did you make a mistake?"

Teacher Chris nodded. "That's right, they are the chosen ones for the competition."

The teacher was very worried, but he did not say it out loud. He returned everyone's student ID cards and signaled the students behind him to move aside.

The teacher sighed when Vincent walked past him.

"We are looking forward to this year's juniors! Vincent, Quinn's future depends on you!"

Vincent paused and looked at the teacher.

Previously, Teacher Chris had informed him that there was a group of Quinn's teachers that were stationed in the black hole all year round. They were ready to give up their lives at any time for the future of humanity.

Although their superpowers and levels might not be very high, they were still individuals who deserved to be remembered and respected by humanity.

Vincent knew that the teacher guarding the gate had sacrificed his life for humanity.

He bowed to the teacher and said in a deep voice, "Teacher, I will work hard!"

This was a kind of legacy!

In fact, it was a legacy that had existed for thousands of years!

At that moment, the teacher entrusted the task to Vincent.

Teacher Chris and the rest stood at the side and watched as the two of them completed the exchange.

Vincent's team followed and bowed to the teacher and students guarding the cave.

They then walked into the cave.

About ten minutes later, Vincent and his team saw a black vortex. It had a strong suction force. It was the black hole!

The black hole had a diameter of five meters. It made everyone feel very nervous.

The suction force made Vincent and his team feel very uncomfortable. Not only did they feel the suction force on their bodies, but they could also feel it on their souls.

The thought of giving up on their bodies and allowing their souls to be sucked out directly from their bodies was extremely dangerous.

Teacher Chris channeled her superpower and shouted in a low voice, "Stabilize your mind. The black hole will attack the first person who comes into contact with it. If you can't control it, you will get lost and become a slave of the monsters!"

Vincent was the first person to calm his mind. He looked at the black hole with fear and panted heavily.

For a moment, he felt like he saw his missing parents.

However, he suddenly realized that he had never seen his parents before. He almost fell into the trap.

The others also regained their senses after hearing Teacher Chris's instructions. They all had a sudden look of realization on their faces, just like Vincent.

Angelina's face was paler than the rest. No one knew what she had seen.

After seeing the five of them coming back to their senses, Teacher Chris heaved a sigh of relief.

"Let's go! Let's go in."

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked into the black hole.

Vincent and his team entered next. Bixby was the last to enter.

After passing through the black hole, they could smell a strong blood scent in the air.

The five of them all frowned after seeing the inside of the black hole.

The black hole was filled with a dark and deathly aura. It was so dark that they could not even see their own fingers.

Even though Teacher Chris had warned the five of them about the situation inside the black hole, they still felt uncomfortable.

Teacher Chris took out a stone that was emitting a fluorescent light from her belt.

"This is a Fluorescent Stone. It is the only source of light that works in the black hole," explained Teacher Chris.

"Come with me. We'll go to the supply point first."

The supply point was a square with a radius of three hundred meters. In the middle of the supply point stood four special ability laser cannons. The supply point was also surrounded by laser beams. However, most of them were damaged.

The square was stained with blood. There were many people who were injured and the buildings in the square had been damaged badly.

It was obvious that a fierce battle had occurred.

The arrival of Teacher Chris and the others attracted the attention of many people in the square. One of them, who was more than two meters tall, walked forward. His forearm was as thick as Vincent's waist.

"Who's there?"

"I'm a teacher from Quinn. My name is Teacher Chris. I have brought a team with me for training purposes."

"Show me your identity card."

Teacher Chris handed over her identity card. The man took it and put it into a blood-stained box on his waist.

The box suddenly shot out a ray of light. The light wrapped around Teacher Chris.

"Beep! Humans, you can pass."

When the brawny man heard the beep, he heaved a sigh of relief.

After checking the identification of Vincent and his team, he brought Vincent and the others into the square.

At the same time, he explained why the identification process was important. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

It turned out that monsters could transform into humans too. This was how the lasers were damaged.

Although the monsters were defeated in the end, they still suffered heavy losses.

Vincent and the others frowned. The monsters actually had the ability to transform into humans. This meant that the situation outside the black hole had become more troublesome and dangerous.

Vincent and the others wanted to help fix up the square. However, they were too weak.

After a simple resupply, they all left the square and walked into the darkness.

Five minutes later, they took shelter beside a huge black rock. Teacher Chris looked at Vincent and the others with a serious face.

"You all heard and saw what happened just now. Humans are in danger. Our future depends on you. You are our hope. What you need to do now is focus on becoming stronger."

"Now, the second phase of the team training officially begins now! Unless you encounter a life-threatening situation, Teacher Bixby and I will not help you. However, at the same time, if we do, that will end the team training."

Teacher Chris then turned her head away and ignored Vincent and his team.

The five of them clenched their fists. They all had strong fighting spirits.

Vincent looked at the four of them and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, from this moment on, we can only rely on ourselves."

"I don't know if we can complete this stage of training or whether we will make it out here alive… but, we have no way out!"

"Vincent, just tell us the plan. I can't wait to kill a few monsters!" said Chris. He was gritting his teeth and his face was full of hatred.

The others had the same expression and nodded solemnly.

"Chris will go in front, Avril will go to the left, and I'll go to the right. Nabil, be ready to release 100,000 lightning strikes at any time. Angelina, don't use your superpower just yet. That's our trump card."

No one had any objections to Vincent's arrangements.

They all lined up and groped their way forward.

Teacher Chris and Bixby walked behind. They looked at Vincent and the others and sighed.

"Teacher Chris, they're all good. If they don't participate in the Godslayer project now and take their time to grow, they'll still become the backbone of humanity."

"How could I not know that? But the monsters are getting stronger and stronger. There's not much time left for us."

Teacher Bixby sighed and kept quiet.

Chapter 60

Over the next two days, Vincent and his team fought a total of seven high-level monsters, 13 intermediate-level monsters, and countless low-level monsters.

From a training perspective, they had performed excellently. However, none of them wanted to leave the black hole although they had sustained serious injuries.

In the end, Teacher Chris had to make up an excuse to force them to leave the black hole. She told them that the special enrollment competition was about to begin.

There were actually still two days before the special enrollment competition. The journey itself would take a duration of one day. Vincent and his team only had one day left to consolidate what they had learned and gained from the team training.

Vincent also chose to use the Awakening Stone on that day.

Vincent sat on his bed and looked at the Awakening Stone in his hand. Sibis had previously taught him how to use the Awakening Stone.

He held the Awakening Stone using both hands. He then gathered all the psionic power in his body and poured it into the Awakening Stone. In an instant, the Awakening Stone exploded and emitted an intense seven-colored light. The light was similar to a rainbow.

The light surrounded Vincent and seeped into his body slowly through his pores.

'Ding! Unknown element detected. Analyzing, please wait a moment…'

The system suddenly sent Vincent a notification.

"Ding! Analysis completed. Congratulations to the host for awakening an S-Class support-type superpower, Peak Condition!"

"Peak Condition: Allows hosts to maintain peak condition in all aspects at all times."

After the rainbow light was completely absorbed by Vincent, the system notification ended. The Awakening Stone in his hand turned into powder.

Vincent opened his eyes, and a rainbow-colored light flashed past him.

"Open the character panel," said Vincent to the system in his heart.

The character panel had changed greatly. Vincent clenched his fists and smiled. He could feel the psionic power surging in his body.

He was about to become an intermediate-level superpowered user. He consumed some level-up pills and leveled up.

He stood up from the bed, and his joints crackled.

He looked at the time and realized that it was time for him to gather for the special enrollment competition.

After putting on his clothes, he opened the door and saw Nabil. Nabil was about to knock on his door.

"Vincent… you're intermediate-level now?"

Nabil widened his eyes in shock.

After not seeing him for a day, he actually broke through to the intermediate level. His cultivation speed was terrifying.

"I just broke through. I can't control it well yet, hehe."

Vincent rubbed his face awkwardly. He was embarrassed.

Nabil rolled his eyes at Vincent.

He was already an intermediate-level superpowered user. Why would he feel embarrassed in front of a beginner-level superpowered user?

Nabil turned around and left. He couldn't care less about Vincent's monstrous existence.

When the two of them arrived at the meeting point, they saw everyone there. They were busy chatting and laughing. When they saw Vincent, they were all stunned.

"Vincent, you've broken through?"

Angelina jumped in front of Vincent and hugged his arm. Her face was full of curiosity.

Vincent nodded.

Chris, who had always wanted to fight Vincent, became even more excited when he saw that Vincent had leveled up. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Avril bit her lips and clenched her fists.

Vincent was already at the intermediate level. His level was once lower than her. Yet, he had managed to surpass her in such a short period of time.

Avril was a girl who wanted to be strong. When she saw Vincent growing so rapidly, she felt very uncomfortable.

Although Teacher Chris had known that Vincent was very strong all along, she still revealed a surprised expression when she saw Vincent admitting it voluntarily.

However, the surprise did not last for long. After all, she knew of Vincent's terrifying 3 S-Class superpowers.

"Alright, everyone is here. Let's set off."

Teacher Chris clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.

This time, there were only six people including Teacher Chris. Teacher Chris brought them to the special enrollment competition. Bixby was not there because he was sent to the black hole to assist the defense team.

The special enrollment competition was held in the largest Falcon Arena in the capital of Falcon Country. It was the Jungle Capital, which was also where St. John school was located.

One day later, in the capital of Falcon Country, Jungle City, the highly anticipated special enrollment competition officially began.

The contestants were all representing their individual schools. They were considered as the highest quality students in Falcon Country. As such, the special enrollment competition attracted the attention of many people. Not only did it attract participating academies and students, but the competition also attracted countless citizens.

The competition was even broadcast live on national television.

The tickets were priced at 59,999 yuan and were sold out as early as a month ago.

Vincent and the others left for Falcon Arena early in the morning. They thought that they had arrived quite early, but there were still people who had arrived earlier than them.

Thousands of spectators were lining up at the entrance. The staff checked the authenticity of the tickets one by one. They were all very busy.

Of course, the spectators did not come so early just to enter the venue. After all, they had been assigned their seats on their tickets. Instead, they wanted to see the faces of the strongest young generation of Falcon Country.

Among them were many young girls who wanted to interact with the contestants. It was a shortcut to high status.

There were also quite a number of forces recruiting contestants there.

After all, the contestants were all students. Sooner or later, they will have to leave school. During that time, they would definitely choose one of the forces to join.

The strong students would be recruited by the various forces. Although the remaining students were not weak, their overall quality was not as good.

In order to ensure that their forces were strong, it was necessary to throw out an olive branch in advance.

The special enrollment competition was a very good opportunity.

The arrival of Vincent and the others naturally attracted the attention of many people. They were particularly interested in Vincent. After the Monster Horde, it could be said that he was well-known by everyone.

Many people tried to pounce on Vincent. If not for the city guards of Jungle City who were not far away, Vincent would have been torn to shreds.

"Look! It's the Quinn Advanced Superpower School students!"

"The one walking in front is 'Monster Nemesis' Vincent!"

"So handsome! It would be great if we could marry him!"

"Why don't you look in the mirror and take a look at yourself? Do you think you're worthy?"

People were talking about Vincent everywhere.

From Blazing City to Jungle City, Vincent had heard many things. There were even some bold people who took the initiative to look for Vincent.

Angelina, on the other hand, protected Vincent tightly like an old hen. No one of the opposite sex was allowed to come within three meters of Vincent. This included a pet dog that Nabil liked. As it was a female dog, it had been sent to the pet adoption center by Angelina.

Everyone walked into the Falcon Battle Arena through a secret passage. They arrived at their assigned resting place.

"This group of people is too crazy!" said Nabil as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

If not for the city guards arriving on time, they would not have been able to enter the Falcon Arena.

In order to ensure that the special enrollment competition went smoothly, the Falcon Nation's royal family had dispatched a total of 50,000 city guards to maintain the order.

Earlier, they had sent over 30,000 city guards to escort Vincent and the others into the arena. However, the crowd was very overwhelming. The city guards had to ask for more help.

Chapter 61

After all the participants arrived, the audience entered the Falcon Arena.

There were dozens of luxurious chairs on the east viewing platform. The platform was shaped like an inverted triangle. The seating area was protected by city guards. Many people of high status walked onto the platform one after another.

Vincent only knew three people in the second row of the platform. They were the principals of St. John, Mokissner, and Quinn. Harrison, Mike, and Sibis were all sitting on the east viewing platform.

There was only one seat available in the first row. Everyone knew that it was specially reserved for the representative of the Falcon Country's royal family. It was likely that the seat belonged to the emperor of Falcon Country.

Sibis, who was busy chatting with the others, felt Vincent and the others staring at him. He looked at them and smiled.

Harrison and Mike also looked at Vincent. Their faces were full of regret. They nodded at him as a sign of acknowledgment.

They knew that they had suffered a great loss after failing to persuade Vincent to join their schools.

About an hour later, everyone arrived. Angelina whispered to Vincent, "Vincent, do you see the old man sitting in the first row with the Golden Falcon Crown on his head? He is the emperor of our Falcon Country. He is the fifth strongest person in the world. His name is Swain Marquez and is known as the king of the Western Eagles."

Vincent nodded slightly.

Swain Marquez's aura was very powerful. Although he was just casually sitting on the platform, he was the focus of the entire stadium. No one doubted his strength even though they could not see a single trace of aura emanating from his body.

The host of the competition stepped onto a circular plate and flew into the arena from outside the stadium. The host announced, "Welcome everyone to the venue of this year's special enrollment competition! I am the host for this year's competition. Next, we would like to invite our respected emperor to give a speech!"

Swain held his scepter and stood up slowly. He looked and smiled at everyone present. His gaze swept over the crowd. Although it was only a brief gaze, everyone was focused on him.

All of the contestants held their heads up high and puffed out their chests proudly.

"All of you are the future of Falcon Country. You are also the future of mankind. I hope that all of you can display your strength fully and obtain good results. For the future of Falcon Country and mankind, do display your strength to your heart's content!"

Although his speech was very simple, it was a powerful one. Everyone lost themselves and applauded.

All of the contestants were very excited. Their eyes were filled with fervor and fighting spirit. This was their first time standing in front of the entire nation. This was the first step for them to become famous worldwide. How could they not be excited?

Swain sat down again. The host smiled and said, "This competition is divided into four stages. They are the one-on-one battle, the two-on-two battle, the multiplayer battle, and the peak battle."

"The peak battle?" Vincent and his team turned to look at Teacher Chris. Teacher Chris had never mentioned peak battle before.

Teacher Chris was also dumbfounded. Why was there a peak battle? Did they change the stages at the last minute?

The host continued to explain the rules of the competition.

"1 point for every victory, 1 point for every defeat, and no points for every draw. The five participants with the highest points will be the top five in this year's competition!"

"Let's talk about the peak battle. The peak battle competition is a competition between the schools. The schools will battle one another in a one-on-one rotation until there are no participants left to participate. They either lost or have been forfeited. The school with the last one standing will win and receive the right to use the Evolution Source Fluid for a year!"

"What? Evolution Source Fluid!" Teacher Chris suddenly stood up from her chair, her face was full of shock and astonishment.

"Teacher Chris, what is Evolution Source Fluid?" asked Vincent curiously.

He did not understand why Teacher Chris was so shocked.

Teacher Chris looked at the five of them with a doubtful expression. She shook her head numbly and remained silent. She then sat down again.

Her heart was not at peace.

Based on what she knew, the Evolution Source Fluid was specially prepared for the Godslayer Project. If they allowed the winner to use the Evolution Source Fluid, this would mean that the Godslayer Project had begun.

"The Evolution Source Fluid allows the user to fully grasp their superpowers and combat techniques within a very short period of time. It is a treasure that only superpowered users can obtain. All contestants, you have to work hard!" said the host.

"The rules have been announced. Next, we will proceed with the drawing of lots! The drawing of lots will determine your opponents in the one-on-one battle!"

Suddenly, a projection screen appeared in the middle of the battle arena. It displayed the number of matches. There were also photos of the contestants rolling on it.

It looked like a jackpot machine!

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 1. Azure School's Sasko versus Mokissner School's Zavistas!"

…

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 57. Quinn School's Chris versus Qiu School's Randy!"

…

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 96, Quinn School's Angelina vs Glacier School's Sims!"

…

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 128, Quinn School's Nabil vs Cano School's Luna Merlin!"

…

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 277, Quinn School's Avril vs Swayze School's Rhonda!"

…

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 394. Quinn School's Vincent versus Kelly Terry School's Aiden!"

…

"The first round of the one-on-one battle, Ring No. 909. St. John School's Aurora versus St. John School Bella Gil!"

18 men, one-on-one battle. There were a total of 909 matches. Drawing lots itself took more than three hours.

Chris had no interest at all. He sat in his chair, dozing off.

Fortunately, the drawing of lots for the one-on-one battle was finally completed. The host announced the official start of the special enrollment competition. Chris woke up.

"The first round of the one-on-one battle has officially begun!"

Everyone started moving. 909 of them stood up and walked to their respective fighting rings. There was a virtual projection displayed on top of each ring.

Vincent and the others exchanged words of encouragement before parting ways.

Aiden was a skinny boy. The first thing he said when he saw Vincent was, "I admit defeat!"

Vincent was stunned. How could he admit defeat without even fighting?

Aiden saw Vincent's expression and revealed a bitter smile.

"Vincent, although we are all students from advanced schools, we are simply not comparable to the three great schools. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

Aiden pointed to the other fighting rings.

Vincent turned his head to look. It was true. The vast majority of participants who were lined up against the three great schools admitted defeat right away. Although there were a few who did not admit defeat and had started fighting, it was only a matter of time until they lost. They had been completely suppressed.

Vincent did not say anything. He just shrugged his shoulders.

This was the norm. He was powerless to change anything.

After chatting with Aiden, Vincent turned around and left the fighting ring.

It was three in the afternoon. The first round of the individual battle had ended.

"The second round of the individual battle starts now! Draw the lots!" announced the host.

The drawing of lots was much faster this time as the number of participants had reduced by half. The number of fighting rings that were being occupied had also decreased by half.

"Congratulations to Vincent from Quinn's School for becoming the next round's empty contestant!"

Vincent, who was about to walk out of the resting area, was stunned.

Empty?

He lost his turn!

Although he did not want to, he had no other choice but to accept it helplessly.

Chapter 62

Nabil saw Vincent's expression change and walked up to him. He patted Vincent's shoulder with envy.

"Vincent, you should be happy. If you miss one round, you'll be in a better state the next round."

Nabil tried to comfort Vincent. However, Vincent just smiled at him bitterly.

Only Chris knew why Vincent reacted that way.

He was a battle maniac!

How could he be happy without fighting?

When Chris passed Vincent, he gave Vincent a cheeky bump on the shoulder.

Vincent rolled his eyes at him.

Teacher Chris who was watching from afar covered her mouth and let out a soft chuckle as she looked at Vincent.

This was the first time she had seen Vincent reacted that way. She felt like he was much cuter than usual.

Although there were fewer people in the second round of the individual battle, the battle duration was much longer than the first round. This was because the quality of the participants was higher in comparison.

The sky was already dark by the time they finished battling.

"After a day of competing, I think everyone must be very tired. Let's call it a day, we'll meet again tomorrow!"

The next day, it was bright. Vincent and the others entered the Falcon Arena once again.

"Contestants, audience, we meet again! After a day of intense competition yesterday, there are only 228 participants left in the one-on-one battle. Today, we will finish off the individual battles!"

The host stood on a frisbee-like platform.

"Let's not waste any more time. Let us begin the drawing of lots for the third one-on-one battle!"

After drawing lots, Vincent found out that his opponent was Blue Tyrant School's Jonathan.

Johnson's superpower was A-Class Poison Quicksand. Although it was also an elemental-type, it was able to restrain most elemental-type superpowers. This included Vincent's Hellfire superpower.

Due to their difference in level, the restraint was not much. Plus, Vincent had evolved Hellfire. Johnson's superpower should not be much of a problem.

However, he was still rather superior to Vincent.

Vincent and Johnson looked at each other on stage. When the referee gave the signal to start, the two of them almost released their superpowers at the same time.

Half of the ring was filled with black Hellfire, and the other half was filled with jade-green quicksand. One was able to tell the difference between the two of them easily.

"I know that you are a powerhouse in Quinn. I also know that you have the title, 'Monsters' Nemesis'. However, your opponent right now is me, and I will not be easily defeated by you!" said Johnson.

Johnson's face was solemn. He felt a lot of pressure fighting Vincent, but he did not allow himself to retreat.

This was the heart of a powerhouse!

Vincent knew that he was facing an opponent that was worthy of respect. He respected him.

He nodded solemnly and launched the first attack.

"Flash!"

He started with the elusive Flash. It was clear that Vincent was serious.

Although he had more powerful attacks, Flash was definitely one of the top three in Vincent's attack list.

Bang!

Vincent's Flash hit Johnson's back and started to burn. He left a hole in Johnson's back. Inside the hole, one could see Johnson's healthy wheat-colored skin. It then slowly healed, and the hole disappeared.

At the same time, the flames were slowly being extinguished.

This was due to the quicksand's restraint on fire.

Although Flash did not deal much damage to Johnson, he was still frightened.

He looked at Vincent and frowned. 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"If I didn't have the quicksand coat to protect me, I would have really fallen into your trap. Since you took the initiative to attack, here's my attack!"

"Quicksand Missile!"

Small balls of jade-green quicksand flew up from under Jonathan's feet. As he waved his hand at Vincent, the jade-green quicksand balls flew towards Vincent instantly.

Vincent raised his hand and used the Fire Net to block them. The small balls were immediately destroyed by Hellfire.

"Hellfire is indeed powerful. I want to see how long you can defend!"

Johnson raised his hands above his head. The quicksand beneath his feet flew upwards. The quicksand then morphed into a huge blade. Johnson struck down the blade fiercely at Vincent.

"Quicksand Slash!"

Whoosh!

The huge jade-green quicksand blade against Vincent's Fire Net. The two were in a stalemate.

Vincent did not realize that there was thin, invisible quicksand moving through Hellfire. Johnson was targeting his feet.

"It's over!"

Johnson suddenly opened his hands, and the blade shattered, causing a loud bang. Sand fell everywhere.

"Quicksand to the Grave!"

Johnson clenched his right fist at Vincent.

Vincent's heart tightened. As he had sharp senses, he could tell that there was a problem. He quickly attached the flames of Hellfire to his body.

At the same time, a sand pillar suddenly shot up from the ground and trapped Vincent in the middle. Countless sharp spikes shot out and began to hurt Vincent.

"So strong!" Vincent thought to himself.

He still could not understand how Johnson managed to slip quicksand over to his side.

Vincent took out his Purgatory Blade and attached Hellfire to it.

"Collapsing Mountain Strike!"

Bang!

A huge black flaming blade suddenly emerged from the sand pillar and gave Johnson a fright.

If he had not dodged quickly, the blade would have struck his body.

Vincent's blade split the fighting ring into two. The scene caught the attention of the spectators and the experts of Falcon Country.

"God! What's going on?"

"Is this the combat strength that a student should have?"

"As expected of the Monsters' Nemesis, so strong!"

Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and rushed out from the sand pillar.

He looked like a Burning Man.

Vincent did not hold back. He put away his Purgatory Blade and flew into the air. He grabbed two fire vines and swung them at Jonathan.

Jonathan was terrified by Vincent's attacks. If he reacted any slower, he might have been split into two.

When he saw Vincent's attack again, he quickly defended himself.

He knelt on one knee with his arms crossed in front of him. He used a quicksand shield to protect his back.

Bang!

With just one strike, his defense had been shattered by the Fire Vines.

Before Johnson could even react, the second Fire Vine was nearby.

He closed his eyes in despair. Vincent had endless tricks up his sleeve.

Johnson had used all his strength, but there was still no way for him to win.

However, after waiting for a long time, he did not feel any pain. When he looked up, he saw Vincent standing in front of him. Vincent extended his arm to him.

"What are you doing?"

Johnson was puzzled.

"You are very strong. You are a strong person. I am very happy to be able to fight with you," said Vincent.

Vincent smiled.

Johnson looked at Vincent. Vincent looked very sincere.

In an instant, Johnson's disappointment was gone. To be able to fight with a strong person like Vincent was rewarding enough. What was there to be disappointed about?

He reached out to grab Vincent's hand and stood up.

"Thank you for showing me mercy in the end."

"This is a competition, not a life and death battle."

The referee looked at the two of them and announced loudly, "Round Three, No. 87, Vincent wins!"

Chapter 63

Vincent walked off the stage.

Angelina and the others went to meet him. All of them had won their battles as their opponents were very weak.

They had been watching Vincent's match from the side.

They were very impressed by Jonathan's strength. They did not expect Vincent to meet such a strong opponent for his first match.

"How do you feel? That guy looks pretty strong!" asked Chris.

Vincent thought for a moment and said, "He will be a strong opponent in our later matches."

"Really?"

Chris licked his lips and looked at Johnson, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Chris, I have to remind you that if you meet him, you must finish the battle as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. If you meet him in a team battle, you must not get ahead of yourself!" said Vincent.

Vincent looked at Chris with a serious expression.

"I know! I know! Why are you speaking like Teacher Chris?"

Chris did not pay much attention to Vincent.

"Chris, do you have a problem with me?" said Teacher Chris in a playful tone.

Teacher Chris was standing behind them.

"Yikes! Teacher Chris! Hehe… No! How can that be? You are so gentle and generous, so dignified and virtuous!"

When the others saw Chris stumbling on his words, they all snickered.

Teacher Chris smiled at them.

"I've just been informed that from now on, the lead teacher is not allowed to provide any guidance, or else he or she will be disqualified from the competition," said Teacher Chris in a serious tone.

"What?"

Vincent was shocked. In a national competition like this, they usually had a set of fixed rules to follow. The rules had been established long ago and had always been the same. It was unlikely for the rules to change and there were very few situations that could trigger such changes.

This year's competition was no doubt strange. The rewards were generous, and the competition schedule was constantly being amended. They even banned guidance from the leading teacher.

Vincent realized that there was something going on, and it was not a small matter.

The other four of them also had blank looks on their faces. Although the changes did not affect them much, the sudden change was still quite shocking.

"For the next competition, all of you must listen to Vincent's arrangements, for the glory of Quinn!"

Teacher Chris looked at the four of them. The four of them acknowledged what Teacher Chris had said.

Teacher Chris then turned to look at Vincent.

"Vincent, for the special enrollment competition, all the subsequent competitions will be handed over to you. The glory of Quinn is in your hands. You must be careful with your decisions."

Vincent nodded. He could feel the burden on his shoulders getting a lot heavier. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂

All the other contestants that heard the news were also at a loss.

"The third round of the one-on-one battle has ended. The drawing of lots for the fourth round will now begin!"

In the fourth round, Vincent's opponent was very strong. Nevertheless, Vincent still defeated him easily using Flash.

Chris and Avril also defeated their opponents. However, Nabil and Angelina lost their matches.

Nabil's opponent was focused on defense. Although his opponent's attack power and movement speed were not very high and did not deal any effective damage to Nabil, he was still one level higher than him.

As his opponent's level was higher, he naturally had more psionic power than Nabil. Meanwhile, Nabil's 100,000 Lightning Strikes consumed a lot of psionic power. In the end, the battle ended in a draw.

Angelina's luck was not as good. Her opponent was focused on physical technique. As such, Angelina's superpower was not effective against her at all. In the end, she was defeated.

In the fifth round, Vincent's opponent's combat strength was much stronger, but Vincent still managed to defeat him easily.

Chris and Avril also advanced, while Nabil and Angelina were defeated.

Although Angelina and Nabil's superpowers were very effective in team battles, their superpowers were not as effective in one-on-one battles. It was only a matter of time until they were defeated. It was already quite impressive that they were able to make it this far.

In the sixth and seventh round, Vincent did not have anyone to fight with and directly advanced. People could not help but sigh at his good luck.

It was a pity that Avril lost to her opponent in the seventh round over a slight disadvantage.

At that point, only Vincent and Chris were left standing.

The competition started off with 1,818 participants. However, only eight people were left standing. They were all participants from the top three schools.

St. John and Mokissner each had three students left standing.

Quinn had two students left.

Vincent and Chris fought against the students of St. John and Mokissner.

Vincent's opponent was Brandy from Mokissner. He had an S-Class superpower known as Space Traveller.

He was about the same height as Vincent. His eyes were long and narrow like a venomed snake.

"Vincent, you have been very well-known in our school recently. Thanks to you, Principal Mike has given us one hell of a training."

Brandy revealed a smile.

"Sorry about that, but in order to become stronger, strengthening and training is the way to go."

Vincent's first impression of Brandy was not good. He felt like he was a little too gloomy.

At the same time, the referee announced the start of the match. Brandy stopped talking. With a sneer, his figure disappeared.

Vincent did not hesitate at all. He used Hellfire to cover his entire body.

Whoosh!

A psionic bullet suddenly attacked him from the left. Vincent raised his hand and blocked it easily.

Whoosh!

Another psionic bullet attacked Vincent from the right. Vincent blocked it again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The speed of the psionic bullets was getting faster and faster. They were coming from all directions.

Vincent blocked them all.

The other three matches had ended. Only Vincent and Brandy were still battling.

Brandy could not break through Vincent's defense, and Vincent could not catch him either.

Space superpowers have always been very powerful and mysterious.

Sibis looked at the two of them fighting. He then said to Mike with a smile, "Your student is not bad. Let him come to Quinn. He can be my student."

"Impossible! He is an S-Class student. As if I will give him to you so easily!" Mike snorted coldly. He thought of the time when he went to Quinn to ask for Vincent not long ago.

"However, it is not impossible. As long as you…"

"Don't even think about it!"

The two of them had been friends for decades. When Mike was about to open his mouth, Sibis could already guess what he wanted to say.

Before Mike could even finish his sentence, Sibis had already rejected his offer.

Mike snorted coldly and kept quiet.

However, he also knew in his heart that the only person who could truly train Brandy was Sibis. This was because Sibis was number one in space superpowers in the whole of Falcon Country.

The space superpower was very mysterious. It would be very difficult to effectively teach a space user if one did not possess the same superpower.

Although Mike was very reluctant to let Brandy go to Quinn, he still agreed in the end.

Vincent was fighting Brandy who he did not like. He had no idea that Brandy had become his junior.

After being unable to break through Vincent's defense for a long time, Brandy started to become anxious and directly launched his superpower.

"Space Strangle!"

Chapter 64

"Space Strangle!"

Space Strangle was an A-Class combat skill. It could distort the space around the target. If one mastered the combat skill, they could tear apart a monster or a superpowered user of the same level easily.

Vincent's spiritual power was extremely powerful. When the space around him started to become blurry, he immediately used Flaming Wings to fly away. At the same time, he seized the opportunity to use the Flamethrower Barrage.

Vincent was very fast. However, he was still struck by Brandy's Space Strangle attack. His entire left arm was torn to shreds.

Brandy did not expect Vincent to use a space method on his Hellfire.

Vincent managed to pierce through Brandy's abdomen.

Brandy fainted.

Vincent had been controlling the situation all along. Otherwise, Brandy would have been burnt to ashes by Hellfire.

The referee looked at Vincent who was flying in the air and Brandy who had fainted.

"Round eight, number three, Vincent wins!"

Vincent heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at his left arm and quickly flew back to Quinn's resting area.

"I'm going to heal my left arm. Please help to watch over me. Don't let anyone get close."

He then raised his right hand and wrapped Hellfire around him. He transformed into a giant egg. The giant egg was burning in black flames. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Sibis looked at Vincent and Brandy.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mike! Did you teach him the martial technique? You should have known how dangerous the martial technique is!"

Sibis's expression was solemn. "It was fortunate that Vincent dodged it quickly, or else the future of mankind would have been killed by him!"

Harrison also had a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Vincent is an important figure in this Godslayer project. If he dies, it will seriously affect the implementation and progress of the plan."

Mike smiled bitterly after listening to the two of them.

Before the competition, Mike had already warned Brandy repeatedly to not use the martial technique. However, Brandy still used it in the end.

He almost killed Vincent too. Vincent was the most important person in the Godslayer plan.

Mike did not know what to say.

After all, the students were taught by him. He taught Brandy how to use the martial technique.

He had to think of something to say on the spot.

Fortunately, Brandy was seriously injured, so he was not able to participate in the following matches.

"This is the Amputation Regeneration Potion. You can give it to Vincent. Consider it my compensation for Brandy."

Mike took out a bottle of potion with blue starlight spots from his ring reluctantly. He then handed it over to Sibis.

Sibis did not stand on ceremony and took it. He planned to give it to Vincent at night.

The one-on-one battle continued. The four contestants were St. John's Louis, Mokissner's Pujstark, Quinn's Vincent, and Chris.

The lots were drawn. In the ninth round, Vincent and Chris still did not have the chance to battle each other. Chris could not help but feel sorry for the ones up against Vincent.

Chris had been looking forward to fighting Vincent for almost a month. He thought that he would be able to achieve his goal in the special enrollment competition. However, luck was not on his side. He still did not have the chance to fight against Vincent.

When he saw the results of the draw, he could not tell if God was playing him.

"Contestants, enter your fighting rings!" shouted the host loudly.

Vincent was still inside the giant black flaming egg at that time.

Chris looked at the giant egg. Vincent had told them to not let anyone disturb him. Chris was not sure when Vincent was going to exit the egg. The ninth round had begun. If Vincent was still inside the egg, he would be forfeited.

As the vice-captain, he frowned slightly. He felt that it was necessary to negotiate with the President of the competition.

Louis and Pujstark were already on stage but their opponents were still not there.

"Please ask the contestants from Quinn to get on stage as soon as possible!" shouted the host again.

On the other side, Chris was busy negotiating with the President of the competition. However, the President did not accept Chris's request.

"It's not that Vincent isn't participating in the competition, he's just trying to heal his injuries. He needs some time. It doesn't matter if the competition is delayed for a while!"

Chris was agitated.

"Last ten seconds, if the contestants from Quinn are not in the fighting rings, they will be forfeited!"

The host then started the countdown.

Angelina and the others quickly ran over.

"Chris, you go and participate in the competition first. Someone has to represent Quinn!" said Angelina.

"That's right. Quinn can't bear the reputation of being a coward!"

Nabil's face was full of anxiety.

Chris understood. He glanced at the President with dissatisfaction and swallowed a crystal core. He transformed into a Raging Sword Bear and roared angrily. He jumped onto the stage and smashed it. He left a big pit in the middle of the ring.

The Raging Sword Bear was a high-level monster with high skills and defense. There were sharp feathers down its spine. It looked like a long sword. The feathers could be released and used as a long-range attack.

The referee in charge immediately announced the start of the match.

Chris glanced over at the giant black flaming egg in the resting area and roared again. He then rushed towards Pujstark.

Pujstark had an S-Class superpower known as Earth Guardian. Whether it was attack or defense, he could borrow power from the earth. He was very powerful.

In a way, he actually had the same type of superpower as Chris.

The two of them fought until the end. They were both filled with a lot of power. The audience's blood boiled in excitement.

The battle was intense on their side. On the other side, Angelina and the others were still negotiating with the President. However, the President completely ignored the three of them.

Three seconds left…

There was no movement in Quinn's resting area. The giant black flaming egg stood still.

Louis did not want to win without a fight. However, there was nothing he could do. He was aware of Vincent's situation. He also saw Angelina and the others trying their best to negotiate with the President.

In the end, they had to conclude that Vincent was afraid to fight.

Louis even told the referee that he was willing to wait for Vincent. However, the referee used competition rules as an excuse to reject him.

Louis felt very helpless.

"Announce, Vincent from Quinn…"

Bang!

Suddenly, the egg exploded. Vincent darted out. The Flaming Wings on his back had a wingspan of more than five meters. He looked like a demonic god under the moonlight.

Whoosh!

With one flap, he shot towards the fighting ring like an arrow.

"Vincent from Quinn has appeared at the very last minute. The match continues!"

Angelina and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Vincent breaking out of the egg.

Vincent almost got himself forfeited.

Fortunately, he came out in time.

Chris, who was in the middle of a battle, let out an excited roar when he saw Vincent. His attacks became fiercer in an instant.

He, who was being suppressed, managed to turn the situation around.

Chapter 65

"Look! Vincent's left arm has grown back!"

"Oh my god! It was torn apart by such a powerful attack, but it grew back so quickly!"

"What a perverse recovery power!"

"What kind of heaven-defying medicine did he use?"

Vincent's rapid recovery shocked everyone. He even managed to shock the upper echelons of Falcon Country.

"Sibis, what kind of medicine did you give Vincent?"

Harrison looked at Sibis.

It must have been a very powerful medicine. If it was used in the front line during a battle against monsters, it would greatly enhance their combat strength.

"Even the Amputation Regeneration Potion would not have such a good effect!"

Mike looked at Sibis.

All the higher-ups looked at Sibis as well.

In just a few minutes, Vincent had regenerated his arm. Even experts like them were shocked by his recovery.

Sibis was frightened by everyone's gaze. He smiled bitterly.

"Don't look at me. If I knew of such a medicine, I would have kept it to do some research on it."

Everyone looked at Sibis. What he said was logical.

It was impossible for him to hide something as big as this. After all, the drug was a strategic resource. It could actually determine the outcome of a battle. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

Sibis was the most curious out of all of them. He wanted to know how Vincent grew his arm back in such a short period of time.

Could it be…?

Sibis suddenly widened his eyes. He thought of one possibility, and it was the only possibility.

"Sibis, what are you thinking of?"

Harrison and Mike noticed something strange about Sibis.

Sibis looked at Harrison and Mike and said, "The Awakening Stone."

"Awakening Stone!"

Harrison and Mike suddenly understood what was going on.

They were very clear about the effect of the Awakening Stone. It was no wonder Vincent's left arm recovered so quickly.

"S-Class Hellfire and an S-Class recovery superpower! This kid is really lucky, the two superpowers actually complement each other!" said Harrison enviously.

"I'm just curious about what Vincent's second S-Class superpower is. He has such a powerful recovery superpower," said Mike. Mike held up his chin. He looked like he was thinking hard.

Sibis just kept quiet, but he was very happy. He looked at the two of them. "Two S-Class superpowers? You guys really guessed wrong," Sibis thought.

"That's not right! Vincent has awakened a recovery superpower and you still want the Amputation Regeneration Potion from me? Give it back to me!" said Mike.

Sibis turned his head and looked at the arena. He pretended not to hear Mike.

"You old scoundrel!"

Mike cursed angrily.

In the arena, Louis looked at Vincent, who had just regrown his arm. He was surprised.

"You were regrowing your arm just now?"

Louis was very curious about how Vincent had managed to regrow his arm in such a short time, but he knew that it was Vincent's secret. It would be impolite to ask.

Vincent just nodded. Although he did not see what was happening when he was inside the egg, he still understood what was going on.

He knew that Louis had pleaded with the referee to suspend the match. Vincent had a good impression of this handsome and magnanimous youth.

"Thank you for suspending the match just now. Thank you for also waiting for me to come out. In order to repay you, I will fight you with my strongest battle stance."

Vincent folded his wings and summoned fireballs with a flip of his hand. In the blink of an eye, dozens of fireballs surrounded Louis.

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Louis had an excited look on his face. He was also a battle maniac. He activated his superpower.

His superpower was S-Class Eight-armed Vajra. His superpower allowed him to grow six arms. He could use a maximum of eight weapons to fight at the same time.

He could control the length of his arms. He could also advance or retreat them at the same time. He had both offense and defense. Just him fighting alone was equivalent to a whole battle team. He was very powerful.

He was holding two machetes, a huge ax, a shield, a spear, a set of bows and arrows, and a heavy sword. All of them were A-Class psionic weapons.

Vincent attacked first. With a wave of his hand, more than ten fireballs flew towards Louis.

Louis used his psionic shield to block the fireballs. He attacked Vincent using his psionic gun and psionic bow and arrow.

Vincent raised his hand and used his Fire Net to block them. Vincent saw that the fireballs were about to be blocked by Louis's psionic shield. He immediately raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Whoosh!

The fireballs suddenly disappeared and reappeared right beside Louis and above his head.

Louis knew that Vincent's attack was not going to be simple. He used his psionic shield to protect his head. He swung his psionic sword to break through the attack.

Louis was still attacking Vincent using his psionic gun and psionic bow and arrow from afar.

"Explode!" roared Vincent.

The Hellfire fireballs exploded.

Although Louis was mentally prepared, he still did not expect the fireballs to explode. He was caught off guard by the explosion.

Half the fighting ring had been destroyed by the explosion. Smoke and dust flew everywhere and enveloped Louis.

Vincent did not stop there. He did not believe that Louis would be defeated so easily.

He took out his Purgatory Blade and attached Hellfire to it. He performed Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Swoosh!

He swung his Purgatory Blade downwards and split the fighting ring into two. This was on top of the damage that Vincent did earlier.

"Consecutive Rocket Arrows!"

Vincent raised his hand and shot out a series of Rocket Arrows after performing Collapsing Mountain Strike.

It was impossible to know whether the attack worked as the smoke and dust had yet to disperse. However, Vincent still proceeded to wave his hand and commanded half of the fireballs around him to charge into the smoke and dust.

"Hellfire Prison!"

This was a new skill that Vincent had developed. It was mainly used to restrict enemies.

Teng!

A huge cage formed by black flames suddenly emerged and dispersed the smoke and dust.

He looked over at Louis who was kneeling on one knee. He was trapped inside the cage. His body was covered with blood and his three arms were missing. His psionic shield was full of cracks, and his psionic sword was broken.

In the other fighting ring, the battle ended. Pujstak won just by a little bit because he had more psionic power than Chris.

The audience was shocked when they saw Vincent and Louis's fighting ring. It had almost been destroyed completely. They were also shocked by Louis's miserable appearance.

"Oh my god! How can Vincent be so strong?"

"Is this really the destructive power that an intermediate-level superpowered user should have?"

"Both of them are S-Class superpowered users, but Vincent is so much stronger! As expected of the Monsters' Nemesis!"

It was hard for them to imagine how much strength was needed to injure Louis so seriously in just a few seconds. Louis was still an S-Class superpowered user after all.

In the Blue Tyrant School's resting area, Johnson looked at Vincent and frowned.

Although he was not an S-Class superpowered user, how could he not have known that Vincent did not use his full strength when fighting him.

"Am I really that weak?"

Johnson started to doubt himself.

Louis raised his head and wiped off the blood on his face. His eyes were filled with excitement.

"Hahaha! Vincent! You really didn't disappoint me! You're really strong!"

Louis deactivated his superpower and stood up. He was trembling.

"But it's still a bit short."

He reactivated his superpower and his six arms reappeared once again.

Chapter 66

Louis used his six arms to grab the Hellfire prison. As soon as he grabbed it, he was ignited by Hellfire. His original form was suffering burns as well.

However, Louis just ignored it. He shouted loudly and tore the Hellfire prison into pieces.

He deactivated his superpower and reactivated it again. His six arms were still intact.

Four of his hands were holding A-Class psionic machine guns, whilst his other two hands were holding an S-Class psionic Gatling.

"Vincent, accept the Baptism of Technology!"

Louis roared excitedly. All of his weapons were at maximum power. He fired them at Vincent. Psionic bullets rained everywhere.

It was the same psionic bullets that had the exploding and piercing armor effect.

His other two arms grew longer and bigger. They were like the size of two mountains and were clapping towards Vincent.

Vincent had already prepared a defense when he saw Louis pull out his weapons.

However, Louis's attack was too vicious. Vincent's defense was destroyed in less than one second. Vincent was terrified. He set up another defense.

Louis kept breaking through every single one of them. Vincent had no time to counterattack.

Louis then proceeded to slap Vincent.

Vincent could not think of a way to dodge the attack. He gritted his teeth. He decided to unleash Hellfire to the maximum. He broke through Louis's attack and unleashed the strongest attack yet.

"World of Hellfire!"

Boom!

Flames shot out from Vincent's body and ignited the entire Falcon Arena. It spread in all directions at a fast speed. The flames destroyed everything it touched, leaving nothing behind.

The referee who was standing at the side was shocked. He quickly activated the arena's defense.

The arena had installed defenses to defend against superpowered users who were too strong. It was strong enough to resist the full-force attack of a superpowered user. It had not been used even once since it was set up many years ago. If it was not for Vincent's powerful attack, the referee would have forgotten about it.

However, the Hellfire destroyed the arena's defense as soon as it came into contact with it.

The expressions of the echelons changed. Sibis immediately stood up and flew towards Vincent's fighting ring.

"Space Teleportation!"

Sibis teleported Louis to a safe place.

"Space Black Hole!" Sibis summoned black holes to devour Hellfire.

However, Hellfire was still too overbearing. Even though Sibis was very strong, the devouring speed was still too slow. One could even see faint signs of fire burning the black hole.

"Vincent! Withdraw your superpower!"

Vincent's face turned red. He revealed a bitter smile after hearing Sibis's command.

He was already trying his best to control it. However, the Hellfire explosion was too terrifying. Although he was the controller, he was still unable to withdraw his superpower within a short period of time.

When Sibis saw Vincent's expression, he immediately understood Vincent's situation.

"Don't just stand there, evacuate the audience now! Teachers, protect your students and leave the battlefield!" shouted Sibis loudly.

At that moment, everyone also realized the problem at hand. They all became very flustered. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Fortunately, the city guards helped to stabilize the situation. The audience began to exit the arena in an orderly fashion. The teachers and students from the various schools also left. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

In a few minutes, everyone had evacuated the arena. Only the powerhouses and Vincent remained in Falcon Arena.

Vincent and Sibis joined efforts to effectively control Hellfire. However, it still took some time to completely withdraw all of Hellfire.

"This bastard kid, it's only a match! Why does he need to use such a strong attack?" said Harrison.

Harrison looked at Vincent with both love and hate.

Mike shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I'm afraid only God knew that Vincent has such a powerful skill."

The others were also discussing the situation. Swain, the emperor, was the only one who looked at Vincent and smiled with admiration.

Half an hour later, all of Hellfire had been withdrawn. Vincent fell to the ground. His face was pale and he panted heavily.

He did not turn pale because was afraid. He turned pale because he had used up all of his psionic power.

Although he had the superpower that allowed him to maintain peak condition at all times, retrieving Hellfire still exhausted him greatly.

As the saying goes, destruction's always easier than construction.

Withdrawing Hellfire was equivalent to construction. Vincent had used up more psionic power trying to withdraw Hellfire than releasing it.

Sibis descended from the sky unhappily and slapped the back of Vincent's head.

"How dare you use such a powerful attack in a mere competition?"

Vincent was very embarrassed and said with some grievance, "Teacher, I didn't know you were so strong!"

Sibis still wanted to continue speaking to Vincent but he was interrupted by Swain.

"Alright, the young man is still a child. Mistakes in judgment are inevitable. Since there are no serious consequences, there is no need to investigate."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sibius glared at Vincent and bowed to Swain.

Vincent quickly followed and bowed as well.

"Your Majesty is magnanimous. Thank you for letting me off the hook."

Swain looked at Vincent and patted his head affectionately.

"Young man, you are very good. I hope that you can continue to surprise me."

He then turned to look at the crowd. "Alright, everyone, go home. It is getting late."

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Everyone agreed.

As Swain did not want to hold Vincent accountable, there was nothing else they could do. They left after Swain.

"How are you? Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?" asked Sibis.

Sibis took out an S-Class psionic recovery potion and handed it over to Vincent.

He could tell that Vincent had consumed a lot of psionic power.

"No problem, it's just that my psionic power consumption is a little high. I'll be fine after resting for a night. I'll recover," said Vincent.

He then took the potion from Sibis and gulped it down.

Needless to say, the potion helped him to recover at an extremely rapid speed.

After seeing that Vincent was fine, Sibis raised his hand and slapped the back of Vincent's head again.

"For the next competition, you are not allowed to use World of Hellfire again! Do you hear me?"

Vincent rubbed the back of his head and agreed.

Sibis did not even have to mention it. Even if he allowed Vincent to use it, he would not dare to use it again.

The Hellfire that was released was horrifying. It was not something that he could control at his current stage.

Sibis continued to give orders to Vincent. Harrison and Mike then left.

Although Sibis was scolding Vincent, he was still very happy with his performance in his heart.

What kind of teacher would feel ashamed of his student for causing such a big commotion?

"Teacher, goodbye!"

Vincent waved goodbye to Sibis. He then used his Flaming Wings to fly towards his place of residence.

Chapter 67

The next day, Vincent and the others returned to Falcon Arena.

They all heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that the Falcon Arena had been completely restored.

After all, the competition was the focus of the entire country. In just one night, the Falcon Arena had been restored to its original state.

After the battle with Louis the day before, Vincent's reputation had grown massively. He was a well-known figure in the entire Falcon Country.

The host announced loudly that the finals for the one-on-one battle were about to begin.

The one-on-one finals were supposed to be held on the same day as the semi-finals. However, as Vincent's World of Hellfire attack destroyed the entire arena, they had to postpone the finals.

The fighting ring had been prepared. Just as Vincent was about to enter the ring, Mokissner's Pujstark admitted defeat.

This was the first time in the history of the special enrollment competition that a participant from one of the top three schools admitted defeat voluntarily.

However, no one was surprised.

Since Pujstark had admitted defeat, the two-on-two competition was scheduled next.

The two-on-two competition was different from the one-on-one competition. The points were no longer allocated to the individuals. Instead, the points were allocated to the individual schools.

Each school would send two participants to participate in the two-on-two battles. The points from the two-on-two battle would then be added together with the Peak Battle's points. The total points will determine the school's rankings.

After the host announced the rules, they started to draw lots.

Schools that only had one participant were excluded. However, there were still more than two hundred schools participating in the duels.

Similar to the one-on-one battle, the two-on-two battles all happened at the same time.

The participants were all extremely nervous as they looked at the lots being drawn. Some of the schools were even praying that they would not be put up against Quinn.

They were all afraid of Vincent.

The combat skill that Vincent displayed the day before had put a lot of pressure on the participants.

Although he was no longer allowed to use World of Hellfire, the participants were still afraid that they would not be able to handle Vincent's other combat skills.

"The first round of the two-on-two match, Ring No. 62, Quinn School and Jones School!"

"Whew!"

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they were not paired up with Quinn. They looked at the students from Jones School with sympathy. The Jones School only had two participants.

The two participants from Jones looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Although Jones School only had two participants, they were both S-Class superpowered users. They were in the top 16 for the one-on-one battle.

Many people said that the Jones School stood a great chance in the special enrollment competition.

Even the Education Department of Falcon Country was supporting Jones.

However, their luck was not good. They were matched up against Quinn in just the first round.

Vincent did not think much of it. It did not matter who the opponent was. So long he was around, it was impossible for his team to lose.

"Vincent, although these two guys are not bad, I'm not interested. I don't want to join this round." 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

Chris yawned. He looked disinterested.

Vincent initially did not plan for Chris to go up against them. He was worried that his fighting spirit would be too overwhelming.

However, as he chose to back out voluntarily, it saved Vincent a lot of time.

"This round, Angelina and Nabil will fight."

Vincent thought for a moment before he gave the order.

Angelina did not have much interest in fighting. She was stunned when she was called out by Vincent.

"Why me? I don't want to!"

Angelina pouted. She was unwilling to fight.

Vincent looked at Angelina and smiled.

"There are many battles. All of us will have to go on stage eventually. Do you want to go on stage now or later?"

Angelina did not say anything. She just stared at Vincent with her big watery eyes.

"It's not like there's a rule that everyone has to participate. Why don't you and Chris just clear the stage together?"

Angelina mumbled softly under her breath. Avril glared at her and she shut her mouth immediately.

Vincent smiled faintly and ignored Angelina.

The draw was over. The host instructed all participants to go on stage.

The fighting ring this time was bigger in size as compared to the previous fighting ring. After all, there were twice as many people, so there had to be more room available in order for them to display their superpowers.

The audience was all focused on Ring No. 62. They were all looking forward to Vincent's battle.

However, they were disappointed when they saw Angelina and Nabil on stage instead.

Angelina and Nabil's performance in the one-on-one battle was not very outstanding. Therefore, there were not many people who remembered them. They only knew them because they were from Quinn.

When the two participants from Jones Academy saw that their opponent was not Vincent, they heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were also very angry.

They could not believe that Quinn had selected their weakest individuals to fight them. Although their previous performances were not bad, they showed contempt for them.

The two of them looked at each other. They could see the anger in each other's eyes. They made up their minds to teach Quinn a lesson.

The referee announced the start of the match. They immediately used their superpowers but were restrained by Nabil's Holy Light Binding.

Although they were only restrained for a short second, by the time they could move again, Nabil's 100,000 Lightning Strikes had been unleashed.

Bang!

The two of them fell to the ground, their bodies twitching.

The entire battle lasted less than two seconds. Many people had not even finished saying their first words.

"The first round of the two-on-two match, Ring No. 62, Quinn School wins!"

The referee was certain that the two students from Jones would not have the strength to fight anymore so he just announced the results.

"Oh my god! What just happened?"

"Exactly, it ended before I could even react!"

"It seemed like only Nabil made a move."

"That can't be! His fighting strength was not as strong in the one-on-one battle yesterday!"

"Who knows? Maybe Jones's two students were just too weak."

"Top 16 and you say that they're too weak?"

The audience was discussing the battle. They were all expressing their puzzlement over the battle.

The two-on-two battles lasted much longer than the one-on-one battles. It was already noon when the first round ended.

After the second and third rounds, all of Quinn's contestants except for Vincent had gone on stage. All the fights ended very quickly.

In the fourth round, Quinn's opponent was Mokissner. One of the two participants was the runner-up in the one-on-one battle, Puj Stark.

The other was also an opponent that Vincent had fought before, Brandy.

"For this match, Nabil and I will go up."

Vincent's tone was somewhat solemn.

Vincent was very clear about how strong Chris was. It was obvious that Pujstark was not weak if he could defeat Chris. Vincent was very worried that accidents would happen when they were on stage.

Chris was unhappy about losing to Pujstark. He wanted to fight him and redeem himself.

"Chris, you have just completed a battle and you are not in the best state. This is Pujstark's first battle. You will not have the upper hand here. If you want to get back at him, there will still be opportunities in the future."

Vincent said to Chris in a deep voice, "A two-on-two battle concerns the school, not us. We cannot afford to be careless."

The two-on-two battle was also an elimination system. Once the battle ended, one of the two schools, Quinn and Mokissner, would definitely be eliminated.

Chris still wanted to argue back. However, after seeing Vincent's reaction, he could only sit at the side and sulk.

Vincent ignored him. He glanced at Nabil, and the two of them walked into the fighting ring.

Chapter 68

When Pujstark and Brandy saw Vincent, they both smiled bitterly.

"Vincent, I really don't want to be your opponent."

Vincent shrugged. "There's nothing we can do about it. I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."

Pujstark and Brandy looked at each other and unleashed their superpowers.

As they were up against Vincent, they had to be focused.

They did not have the confidence to defeat Vincent. Plus, Vincent had Nabil with him, and he was not weak.

The referee announced the start of the match. Brandy disappeared. Pujstark had a black hammer with him. It was carved with mysterious golden patterns. It was estimated to weigh over a hundred kilograms.

His weapon was an S-Class psionic weapon. It was known as the Holy Hammer of Destruction.

During his previous battle with Chris, he would use the Holy Hammer of Destruction to launch attacks. The attacks would carry the power of the earth. It was extremely powerful.

Vincent immediately released Hellfire. Nabil gave him a status buff. Vincent raised his hand. More than thirty Fire Vines surged out and rushed towards Pujstark.

Nabil released 100,000 Lighting Strikes. The lightning strikes covered the entire stage. A few of them flew towards Pujstark. Pujstark managed to block them all using his hammer.

Nabil was not disappointed at all. He proceeded to increase the strength of his attacks.

After all, the task that Vincent assigned him was not to attack Pujstark but to protect himself while trying to find Brandy.

Vincent was very worried about Brandy's Space Strangulation.

Pujstark stared at the Fire Vines. He was not in a hurry to dodge them. He lifted the hammer in his hand and started to rotate it. He managed to crush all the Fire Vines.

Vincent frowned. He could tell that the Fire Vines did not even touch Pujstark's hammer. There was a faint, powerful force that destroyed the Fire Vines.

"Could this be the defense by the guardian of the earth?"

Vincent muttered to himself and continued to summon Fire Vines.

Although the Fire Vines did not have any effect, he still had many tricks up his sleeve. He raised his hand and unleashed the Fire Net. He wanted to trap Puj Stark.

Pujstark let out a low growl and smashed his hammer directly onto the ground.

Bang!

Buzz!

The hammer hit the ground. The force from the hammer spread out in all directions and tore apart the Fire Net.

So far, Vincent had already attacked twice. However, he did not cause any damage to Puj Stark. He could not even get close to him.

"Holy Light Binding!"

At that moment, Nabil unleashed Holy Light Binding. He flew past Vincent and headed towards Pujstark.

Pujstark knew how powerful Nabil's Holy Light Binding was. He dodged his attack immediately. At the same time, he held his hammer using both hands and started to spin rapidly.

Although the Holy Light Binding only lasted for a few seconds, it was enough to determine the outcome of the battle. After all, it was a fight amongst the experts.

Pujstark spun faster and faster. He eventually created a tornado. The powerful pulling force made Vincent frown.

"Space Binding!"

Brandy suddenly shouted from behind Vincent. Vincent turned his head and saw that Nabil had been thrown off stage by Brandy.

The small black hole above Brandy's head gradually disappeared. Nabil's 100,000 Lightning Strikes had been devoured by the black hole.

Brandy turned to look at Vincent. He grinned and said, "Black Hole Vortex!"

He aimed it at Vincent. A black vortex slowly appeared. Its pulling force was far greater than the tornado.

"Earth Blessing!" yelled Pujstark.

The pulling force of the tornado suddenly increased.

Vincent was unable to move due to the two strong forces. He could not activate his superpowers.

Pujstark and Brandy walked towards Vincent slowly. They were getting closer and closer.

"Not good! Vincent is being restrained by the two pulling forces!"

In the Quinn resting area, Avril frowned.

Although she did not know how strong the two forces were, it was clearly something that an ordinary person could not withstand. Vincent could not move at all.

"What do we do? What do we do? Vincent! Vincent! Admit defeat!"

Angelina was worried that something might happen to Vincent, so she shouted at him loudly.

Chris noticed that Vincent did not show much expression. He yawned and took out his phone to watch the live broadcast of the special enrollment competition.

He was very bored.

Just as Pujstark and Brandy were three steps away from Vincent, he looked at them directly in their eyes.

"Flash Combo!"

"Flaming Wings!"

"Jump Slash!"

Vincent used all three skills in a row. He used Jump Slash to shoot himself into the air. He then spread his Flaming Wings to fly.

At the same time, he left a Hellfire seed under his feet.

He released Flash bullets as well. The Flash bullets struck Brandy's back.

Brandy was shocked.

He never expected Vincent to use such a method to break free.

He was in a dilemma.

There were Flash bullets flying towards him from behind. In front of him was Pujstark's tornado.

He was stuck in the middle. Although he had the Black Hole Vortex to block Pujstark's tornado temporarily, the Flash bullets were about to hit him.

If he turned around to defend himself from the Flash bullets, he would be swept into Pujstark's tornado.

If he withdrew his superpower, he would not have the confidence to face Vincent's attack.

It was the same for Puja Stark. He did not dare to withdraw his tornado, or else he would be sucked into Brandy's Black Hole Vortex.

Vincent flew in the air to resist the forces. Whilst in the air, he continued to attack both of them.

"Collapsing Mountain Strike!"

"Fire Vine!"

He launched two more attacks at Puj Stark.

"We need to withdraw our superpowers together!"

Pujstark roared at Brandy.

After hearing Puj Stark, Brandy immediately withdrew his Black Hole Vortex and pounced forward.

Pujstark's tornado was destroyed as well. His Holy Hammer of Destruction flew backward due to the impact.

Vincent had been resisting the forces all along. Due to the forces suddenly disappearing and an explosion that followed shortly after, Vincent was thrown backward.

Vincent was almost thrown out of the arena. He threw a Fire Vine and tied it to the edge of the arena to prevent himself from being thrown out.

At the same time, he detonated the Hellfire seed that was buried in the fighting ring.

"Explode!" shouted Vincent.

Pujstark and Brandy felt the impact of the explosion. They were both blasted into the sky. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Everyone's bodies were ignited by Hellfire as well, turning them into Burning Men.

Vincent quickly withdrew Hellfire.

He was afraid that Hellfire would burn the two of them to death.

Plus, the results were already in. There was no need for him to be so aggressive.

"The fourth round of the two-on-two match, Ring No. 21, Quinn School wins!"

Chapter 69

After the battle, no school wanted to be up against Quinn.

Most importantly, they did not want to be up against Vincent.

He was too strong!

Although it was a two-on-two battle, in reality, it was just Vincent alone fighting two people.

Although Nabil was very strong, he was considered trash when fighting alongside Vincent.

Plus, this was not even Quinn's strongest lineup. Imagine if Vincent and Chris battled alongside each other, what would the outcome be?

"The two-on-two championship battle! Quinn School versus St. John School. Please enter the arena!" announced the host loudly.

However, before he could even finish his sentence, St. John admitted defeat.

Vincent and Chris had not paired up so far. Everyone knew that they would fight together for this particular battle.

Vincent won a two-on-one fight. Chris on the other hand was not much weaker than Vincent.

Vincent's World of Hellfire debut the day before had really increased the pressure for all students.

Although everyone knew that Vincent was not allowed to use World of Hellfire, no one could forget Vincent's other combat skills. They were still quite strong. His strength made people's scalps go numb.

St. John's decision to surrender officially ended the two-on-two battle.

This was the halfway mark of the special enrolment competition.

The next day, the competition continued.

Vincent and the others went to Quinn's resting area and waited for the host to announce the start of the competition. At the same time, Vincent also realized that the seating area for the echelons was empty.

Vincent was very curious, but he did not give it much thought. Their presence did not impact him anyway.

"Contestants and audience. His Majesty the Emperor has taken into account that all contestants have fought continuously for three days straight and the battles were all high-intensity ones. The participants must be tired. He has consented for the participants to take two days off to rest!"

The host held the microphone in his hand and announced, "There is no competition today. There is only one team battle exhibition match. Later, we will draw lots to decide who will participate in the exhibition match!"

After hearing the host's announcements, all the participants felt at ease.

This was the most relaxing day for all of them so far.

There were no competitions. Even if they were selected to participate in the exhibition match, it will not be a serious one.

Given the circumstances, everyone rushed over to Quinn's resting area to meet Vincent.

"Vincent and everyone! Are you used to being in Jungle Capital?" asked Louis from St. John. He had a smile on his face.

Everyone from Quinn had a good impression of Louis, especially Chris. This was because Louis had helped them to ask the President to delay the competition when Vincent was injured. They treated Louis like one of their own. Their arms were placed around each other's shoulders.

"Not bad. The Jungle Capital is surrounded by mountains. The environment is very beautiful," said Vincent.

Vincent smiled and shook Louis's hand.

"Louis, when are we going to fight?"

Chris placed his hand on Louis's shoulder. His face was full of desire to fight.

Louis smiled slightly. He might not have known Chris before, but after three days, he could tell what kind of person he was.

This guy was a typical battle maniac. Louis did not want to fight when he had nothing to do.

In his opinion, the most important thing was to live life in the present.

"Let's wait for an opportunity. After these three days of non-stop fighting, I'm exhausted."

Louis tactfully rejected Chris.

"Chris, don't make a scene. Now is not the time to fight," said Vincent.

Vincent rubbed his forehead helplessly. He really had no idea how to deal with Chris.

"Oh right, Vincent, do you have anything to do tomorrow or the day after?" asked Louis.

Louis looked at Vincent with anticipation.

Vincent had no idea what Louis was about to ask him. However, he really had nothing to do over the next two days.

"Well, it's like this. I plan to ask everyone to go to the black hole tomorrow or the day after. Last night, there was a Monster Horde there, and I wanted to see if I could help."

Louis suddenly became sad.

This was because when there was a Monster Horde, there would definitely be casualties. Every death and injury was worth being sad about.

"Alright, alright! Since we don't have anything to do, it's also good for us to go to the black hole to take a look!"

Chris quickly agreed before Vincent could even say anything.

The last time in Blazing City, Chris went to the black hole. However, it was not very satisfying for him. As Louis had invited them to another black hole, he was naturally very enthusiastic.

Nabil tugged at Chris and shook his head slightly. Nabil was hinting to him that he should not simply agree to things like that.

Vincent shot a dissatisfied glance at Chris. He did not want to participate.

Danger lurked everywhere in the black hole. Anyone could die at any time.

As Teacher Chris was not around and he was the team captain, he had to consider everyone's safety.

However, Chris had already promised Louis. If Vincent were to refuse Louis's offer, it would not look too good.

Plus, people would think that the students from Quinn were cowards.

Quinn treated him very well. As the matter would impact the school's honor, he could not disregard it.

Although Chris was a battle maniac, he was not stupid. After Vincent gave him a displeased look, he immediately knew that he had acted rashly.

He became awkward and shut his mouth.

Louis saw what was going on, but he did not say anything.

To him, it did not matter if they wanted to participate or not. He just wanted to go help the individuals in the black hole.

"What time tomorrow?" asked Vincent.

"If you guys decide to participate, I'll come and pick you up."

"Alright, we'll let you know."

The two of them exchanged contact information.

At that moment, the students from Mokissner came by. Their leader was Pujstark. Brandy followed him closely behind.

"Louis? You guys are here too! What a coincidence!"

Pujstark smiled widely.

Although they were all competitors and had a competitive relationship, they were good friends with each other.

Louis told Pujstark that they were going to the black hole. Pujstark agreed to go without any hesitation.

Vincent, Louis, and Pujstark. They were the three most powerful people in the younger generation. They all chatted happily. This was the start of a new friendship.

"Oh right! Vincent, I forgot to introduce you!" said Pujstark whilst smiling mysteriously.

Vincent looked at Puj Stark's mysterious smile. He had a sharp feeling that something important was about to happen.

"Brandy!" 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

Brandy heard Pujstark call out to him and walked over in a daze.

"The two of you have already fought twice. You guys can be said to be familiar with one another."

Vincent and Brandy both looked at Pujstark with a puzzled expression.

Was that not obvious? Although they did not know each other very well, they have met before on the battlefield.

Why did Pujstark introduce the both of them to each other again?

Plus, Vincent had an uncomfortable feeling towards Brandy. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was hostile towards him.

Pujstark looked at the two of them and chuckled.

"But there's one thing you guys don't know yet…"

"After the special enrollment competition ends, Brandy will be transferring to Quinn to study and become Principal Sibis's disciple!"

Pujstark raised his hand and patted Vincent on the shoulder.

"In other words, Brandy is going to become your junior!"

"Huh?"

Vincent was stunned and looked at Brandy in confusion.

Brandy was also confused. When did he become a student of Quinn and the disciple of Principal Sibis?

Pujstark looked at the two of them and laughed happily.

"The drawing of lots has ended! The team battle exhibition match is about to begin! St. John School vs Quinn School!" announced the host.

Louis smiled bitterly after hearing the announcement.

"Vincent, after all this time, I still want to fight you guys."

Vincent shrugged. "Sooner or later, we'll have to fight."

Chapter 70

In the arena, the students of St. John and Quinn stood facing each other with solemn expressions.

Although the results of the exhibition match would not be counted towards the overall points, no one wanted to be the loser.

This was especially so for the students of St. John.

Vincent was very strong to them. He was able to win in a one-on-two battle. They were fearful of him.

However, it was currently a team battle. They did not believe that Vincent would have the ability to fight one-on-five.

This was also their only chance to defeat Quinn, or rather, Vincent.

Since the start of the competition, Quinn had maintained a winning streak.

The three top schools all had rankings. St. John's was first and Mokissner was not far behind them.

Quinn was ranked third, yet Vincent had managed to maintain an all-win record.

St. John and Mokissner were ashamed. They had lost a match each and both to Vincent from Quinn.

"Team exhibition match, begin!" announced the host loudly.

Both schools started to move forward.

St. John only had one goal. Their target was Vincent.

They knew that so long as they defeated Vincent, no matter how strong the other students were, they would still be able to defeat them.

Vincent could tell what was going on. He stood at the back. In this battle, he was willing to give up his main offense and switch to control.

Although his Hellfire's characteristics were of an elemental type, Vincent had managed to develop it into an all-rounded superpower.

Vincent had strategically planned his team's position so that he would be in control.

From that moment on, he was the central nervous system of the team.

Chris and Avril stood at the front, while Nabil and Angelina stood in front of Vincent.

If Teacher Chris was there, she would know that this was the best plan that Vincent had come up with so far.

The students of St. John charged towards them. They were greeted by a huge wave of water-type elemental abilities.

Chris took out a crystal core and swallowed it. He transformed into a Titan Giant Ape!

Titan Giant Ape was a high-level monster. It was over fifty meters tall and had high attack and defense. It had the strength of an overlord in close combat. Ordinary monsters were no match for it.

"Roar!"

Chris pounded his chest and roared as he faced the waves.

Avril immediately pulled out two mountain-splitting axes and threw them outwards.

Just as Chris was about to collide with the waves, more waves appeared behind him!

It was Angelina's superpower, Absorb!

Boom!

The waves collided with one another. Water splashed out in all directions, and the entire arena was submerged in water.

Over at St. John's side, there was a huge bear that was covered in snow-white and azure-blue light. The lights were flashing behind the waves.

Although the bear was not as tall as Chris's Titan Giant Ape, it was still more than thirty meters tall.

When the two huge beasts collided, they did not show any mercy. They seized the opportunity to attack one another with all their might.

It was as if the team battle had turned into a one-on-one battle.

The two mountain-splitting axes that Avril threw were blocked by Louis.

His Eight-armed Vajra had the strength of four people.

Whilst he blocked Avril, he fired his psionic gun repeatedly. He also formed a fire net in front of him to block Avril's attacks. At the same time, he was also supporting the Giant Thunder Bear.

Nabil released his Holy Light Binding superpower to restrict the two students with offensive superpowers. He then unleashed 100,000 Lightning Strikes.

The 100,000 Lightning Strikes struck the two students. However, it passed through their bodies without causing any damage.

Vincent stood at the back and watched the situation unfold. He frowned.

The two participants had never displayed much combat strength in the previous battles. A situation like this had never occurred before.

Therefore, Vincent was quite confused and shocked.

Vincent threw out a Fire Vine and tied it around Avril's waist to pull her back.

Bang!

A big pit suddenly appeared where Avril was standing before. The pit was full of spikes.

If Vincent's reaction had been a little slower, Avril would have fallen in. Even if she did not die, she would have been seriously injured.

After saving Avril, Vincent raised his right hand and slammed it on the ground.

"Hellfire Prison!"

Teng! 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢

Black flames rose and spread under their feet. Vincent trapped the St. John students in a cage.

Louis had faced the Hellfire Prison before, so he was not flustered. He grabbed it with his two arms, shouted, and tore the cage into pieces.

He dispelled his superpower and cast it again. He then turned behind to help the others.

How could Vincent let him off so easily? Vincent used the Flamethrower Barrage to stop Louis.

The Giant Thunder Bear clapped its hands, and countless bolts of lightning appeared in its palms. It then grabbed the cage.

If it were any other time, the bear would have been able to break out of the Hellfire Prison easily.

However, it was fighting against Chris. Chris would not let it escape so easily.

Chris's palms were the size of two people. He shot out giant wind fans towards the Giant Thunder Bear.

The Giant Thunder Bear then turned its body and used its two palms to block Chris's palms in return.

Bang!

Swoosh!

Their two palms were against one another. The wind gusted out and created shock waves.

The other three people were completely trapped in the Hellfire Prison. They could not move at all.

Angelina saw an opportunity and used her monstrous waves to attack the three people.

After Avril was rescued by Vincent, she did not return to her position at the front. Instead, she took out her two psionic guns and started shooting. Her target was Louis.

Although Louis's superpower was powerful, he was still unable to help the three of them who were stuck in Hellfire prison. This was due to the combined efforts of Vincent and Avril.

St. John's five students were completely separated and fought on their own for some time.

Chris fought against the Giant Thunder Bear. Due to the Hellfire prison, it could only receive attacks passively and defend. He was unable to take the initiative to attack.

Louis fought against Vincent and Avril's long-range attacks. Although he was not at a disadvantage, he was still suppressed by them.

Angelina continued to use monstrous waves to attack the three students who were trapped. The three of them could not move, so they could only defend passively.

"Status buff!"

Nabil was the only one who did not have a target to fight against, but he did not slack off. Instead, he gave Chris a status buff.

"Holy Light Binding!"

Nabil used his superpower against the Giant Thunder Bear once again.

"100,000 Lightning Strikes!"

His target was still the Giant Thunder Bear.

Quinn and St. John had used two completely different methods to fight.

Quinn focused on four students and attacked their weaknesses.

St. John on the other hand targeted Vincent and had planned a decapitation operation.

Neither method was good nor bad. Each method had its own merits.

Based on the current situation, it was obvious that Quinn's tactics were more effective.

The Giant Thunder Bear fainted after being continuously attacked by Chris and Nabil. The student's superpower was exhausted and he transformed back to his human form.

Chris, who had struck down the Giant Thunder Bear, turned to look at Louis. He then charged at him. He roared excitedly.

Louis's expression changed. The Giant Thunder Bear's defeat had made it even more difficult for St. John to win.

Chapter 71

The St. John's students were attacked by monstrous waves. The Water Elementalist from St. John was knocked out of the ring. He was disqualified from the competition.

However, there were two students from St. John that were not impacted by the monstrous waves.

Vincent instructed his teammates.

"Nabil and Angelina, attack Louis!"

"Chris, you handle the other two people!"

Vincent had no idea why the attacks had no effect on the two students from St. John.

He guessed that it was probably because they were immune to elemental attacks.

There was no other way to explain why Nabil's 100,000 Lightning Strikes and Angelina's monstrous waves had no effect on them at all.

Although Chris was very unhappy with Vincent's arrangements, he still followed his instructions and attacked.

"Avril, I'll leave it to you," said Vincent.

Vincent turned around and looked at Avril. He then wrapped Fire Vines around her waist and threw her directly at Louis.

Avril swung her two heavy swords in the air and activated Fury.

"Fire Dance Tornado!"

Avril displayed her martial arts skill. She danced around whilst swinging her two heavy swords. Her swords were like wheels. The edges of her swords were fiery red in color.

Louis was shocked. Although he was strong, it was still impossible for him to fight against Vincent, Avril, Nabil, and Angelina at the same time.

As for the other two St. John's students, they seemed to be immune to elemental attacks. Therefore, they had to use physical attacks on them.

Chris sent them flying after a few attacks.

Louis was the only one left from St. John.

He had to fight against the whole Quinn team.

"I admit defeat!"

Louis did not bother wasting any more time and admitted defeat.

He could not even win with four people fighting alongside him. He would be overestimating himself if he fought against the entire Quinn team alone.

"Vincent, the way you fight is really strange!"

Louis looked at Vincent. He then turned around and jumped off the stage.

Vincent did not seem like he participated much in the battle. However, the entire battle was under his control.

With every attack, he would reduce St. John's chances of winning.

This was Vincent's control-type battle.

It was also the terrifying aspect of control-type superpowered users.

Control-type superpowered users can determine the outcome of the battle before it even starts.

"Oh my god! Quinn is so strong!"

"I can't believe that they actually defeated St. John. St. John is the top school!"

"Without a doubt, Quinn will be the strongest school this year!"

The audience was very surprised by the results of the battle.

They initially thought that Quinn's previous victories were all because of Vincent.

However, the most recent battle has shown that the other students from Quinn were not weak either.

They became even more powerful when they worked together.

"Quinn School wins the team exhibition match!" announced the referee.

Angelina cheered happily.

"Don't be happy too early. This is just an exhibition match. Our opponents have learned a lot from this match. During the real competition, we might not win," said Vincent whilst frowning.

He had a feeling that St. John was much stronger than that. Their combat strength should be higher. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Instead, they had been very passive since the start of the battle. They were from the No. 1 school in Falcon Country. It did not make sense.

The host then bid goodbye to everyone. Everyone left the Falcon Arena.

The next day, Louis came by to pick up Vincent and his team. After meeting up with everyone, they headed towards the black hole in the Jungle Capital.

There were thousands of people there. Vincent looked at Louis with a surprised expression.

He did not expect him to gather so many people.

There were a total of 180 black holes in the entire Falcon Country. There were five black holes in the Jungle Capital. The students headed towards Black Hole No. 3.

In order to make it easier for people to differentiate between the black holes in Jungle Capital, they had been ranked from strongest to weakest. Black Hole No. 1 was the strongest and Black Hole No. 5 was the weakest.

Black Hole No. 3 was in the middle. However, it was still quite dangerous for the students. Two days ago, there was a Monster Horde in Black Hole No. 3.

Black Hole No. 3 was under a psionic alloy tower. As soon as they arrived at the black hole, Vincent could feel a murderous aura.

The psionic alloy tower was tall, magnificent, and majestic. The tower emitted an extremely terrifying and powerful aura.

This was the aura of the Jungle Capital's powerhouses.

There were troops stationed around the psionic alloy tower. The weakest troops were all high-level superpowered users.

Everyone gathered at the ground level of the psionic alloy tower. A man dressed as an officer walked out. His face was cold. He did not smile.

"Who are you?" asked the man.

Louis walked forward and took out his St. John's student ID.

"General, I am a student from St. John's. We are all participants in this year's special enrollment competition."

"We have decided to go to the black hole to train."

The officer took Louis's student ID and checked it. After confirming his identity, he smiled slightly.

"So, you all are geniuses from the various schools!"

"Two days ago, there was a Monster Horde in Black Hole No. 3. It's a tricky situation. I personally do not recommend you to enter."

Louis smiled faintly and turned to look at Vincent and Pujstark.

"General, thank you for your kind intentions," said Louis.

The officer looked at the specially recruited students. He had no choice but to let them in.

There were nearly a thousand people there. They all walked into the tower in a grand manner. They were then greeted by a black vortex. It was the black hole.

After entering the black hole, they could smell blood. The students saw a broken wall and many people that were covered in blood in front of them. The people were busy restoring the buildings and their defenses.

Vincent frowned slightly. He could see that the Monster Horde two days ago was very strong. It was definitely stronger than the one in Hero City.

"Alright everyone, we have entered the black hole. For safety reasons, I suggest that we move together," said Louis.

Louis turned his head and looked at the crowd.

"We have close to a thousand people here. It's too inefficient to move altogether. I suggest that we split up."

Someone retorted and everyone agreed with him.

After watching the situation unfold, Louis knew that it was useless for him to try and stop them.

He thought about it for a while and said, "Many of us are entering the black hole for the first time. For safety reasons, I think it's better for us to split up into three groups."

"If this is your first time entering the black hole, stay here and help. Don't go and fight the monsters."

"Those who are going out to fight alone, please don't stray any further than 5,000 meters. Otherwise, if you face any danger, we will not have enough time to save you."

"Those who want to fight together, follow me. We can also look after each other if we go together."

Louis's suggestion was well-received this time.

"Vincent, should we go in groups?"

Chris was eager to fight the monsters. However, it was obvious that he did not want to go with Louis and the others.

Vincent had his own secrets too, so he did not want to join Lewis and the others either. He shook his head slightly and walked towards Louis.

"Louis, we'll go ourselves."

Louis did not expect Vincent to separate from them. He was stunned.

"Vincent, aren't you coming with us?"

Louis was confused.

Pujstark was also confused. He had decided to join Louis.

"No, we have our own way of fighting. If we go together, there will be problems for sure."

Vincent gave his reasoning, nodded at Puj Stark, and turned to leave.

Louis looked at Vincent's back. He was confused.

Chapter 72

Vincent and his team set off. About 20 minutes later, a monster with a bull's head, a snake's tail, and long wings suddenly appeared.

"Double-winged Bull Snake!"

Double-winged Bull Snake was a high-level monster. It could fly and attack its enemies using sound waves. Its body was soft, and its defense was strong.

Chris had an excited look on his face. He immediately transformed into a Lightning Eagle.

However, the Lightning Eagle that he transformed into was different from the one Vincent encountered previously. There was a clump of golden feathers between his brows.

Chris's Lightning Eagle was a high-level monster.

Chris raised his head and let out a cry before charging towards the Double-winged Bull Snake.

Vincent wanted to stop Chris, but Chris had already started a fight with the Double-winged Bull Snake.

"Nabil, status buff!" yelled Vincent.

Vincent had no choice but to quickly arrange his team's battle position.

Five minutes later, the Double-winged Bull Snake cried out and fell to the ground.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a high-level monster, Double-winged Bull Snake. You have obtained a superpower fusion gem."

"Do you wish to use it?"

A superpower fusion gem?

What was this?

Vincent was stunned after hearing the system's notification. This was the first time he had killed a monster in a black hole. He did not expect to receive a special reward for it.

At the same time, he was also very curious about what a superpower fusion gem was.

He opened his backpack and saw a hexagonal prismatic rainbow gem.

Superpower fusion gem allows a user to fuse two superpowers of the same level into a higher level superpower whilst retaining the characteristics of the two superpowers.

A higher-level superpower?

Does this mean that if one fused two S-Class superpowers, they could create a higher-level superpower? 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Vincent had previously put in a lot of effort to obtain a superpower upgrade gem. The superpower upgrade gem allowed him to upgrade Hellfire to S + Class.

However, the current superpower fusion gem could fuse two of his superpowers and upgrade them to a higher level superpower whilst maintaining their characteristics.

This was simply too abnormal.

Vincent was excited to use it.

He asked his team to wait for him. He then wrapped himself up using Hellfire. Once again, he transformed into a giant egg that was burning with black flames.

"Use the superpower fusion gem!"

"Please choose the superpowers that you want to fuse."

"Hellfire and Monster Affinity."

It was a simple decision for Vincent. After all, Monster Affinity was the most useless superpower he had at that moment. This was because he could not use it in public with everyone around. If he fused it with Hellfire, his superpower would definitely become stronger.

Perhaps he could even complete the conjecture that he had never completed.

The ability to mimic monsters!

Vincent wanted to see if he could mimic monsters using Hellfire.

This would not only allow him to gain more powerful combat skills but to also free him from just learning combat skills. He would also be able to explore other aspects as well.

'Ding! Both superpowers are not of the same level. They are not able to be fused! Host, please choose the superpowers that you want to fuse.'

The system had destroyed his idea of fusing the two superpowers.

This was all because he had upgraded Hellfire.

Vincent pondered.

Should he wait until he received another superpower upgrade gem and upgraded Monster Affinity? Or should he just fuse the other superpowers?

After thinking about it, Vincent decided to fuse his remaining superpowers.

There were two reasons for his decision.

Firstly, he did not know when he would be able to obtain another superpower upgrade gem. This would result in an indefinite delay of the fusion.

Secondly, he was very curious about the superpower that he would obtain after fusing his two S-Class superpowers.

"Extreme Speed Training and Peak Condition."

"Ding! Fusing in progress, please wait a moment…"

"Ding! Fusion complete! Congratulations to the host for awakening an X-Class special superpower, Godly King's Posture."

"Godly King's Posture is a passive superpower. It cannot be used on its own initiative. The host can maintain the highest cultivation speed at all times and possess an undying body."

"Holy sh*t! Undying body!"

Vincent's eyes widened in shock.

Vincent understood the benefit of having the highest cultivation speed at all times.

Previously, when he was not training, he would be at Level One.

When he did train, he would be at Level Two.

However, as he had obtained the highest cultivation speed benefit, he would be at Level Two even if he did not train.

If he did train, he would start off at Level Four instead.

Although it may not seem like he had increased much, it was actually a difference of four times.

When Vincent emerged from the huge egg, Chris and the others were shocked.

Vincent was like a different person.

There was not much change in his appearance, but his aura was very different from before.

His entire person looked imposing even though he was not angry. He gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Chris could feel a burning sensation in his eyes and a strong sense of offense in his heart when he looked at Vincent.

"Vincent! Vincent!" shouted Angelina.

"You! You leveled up again?"

Vincent's sudden change made Angelina subconsciously use honorifics when speaking to him.

The others were the same. They looked at Vincent and did not dare to make a sound.

Vincent just smiled faintly.

"I didn't level up, I just had some epiphanies. Let's go."

"Alright!"

The four of them agreed with Vincent. They acted as if they were being guided by a god.

On the other side, Louis and Pujstark had entered the territory of the Soul Eater Rats by mistake. Countless Soul Eater Rats surrounded three hundred of them and started attacking.

Soul Eater Rats were intermediate-level monsters. They appeared in groups and were very fast. Their attack and defense were not high. Every attack would cause damage to the soul. However, the damage was low.

Louis and his team did not know how they had mistakenly entered the territory of the Soul Eater Rats. Everyone was in despair after seeing the Soul Eater Rats. There were so many of them. The Soul Eater Rats did not hold back and started attacking. They did not take into consideration life or death.

In just half an hour, more than fifty people had died.

Even elites like Louis and Pujstark were exhausted after fighting them.

"Students of Mokissner! Attack the Soul Eater Rats with all your strength. Find an opening and send everyone out!"

Pujstark looked at the exhausted crowd. He knew that if this dragged on, they would all die. He planned to sacrifice the students from Meissner School so that more people could survive.

Everyone knew what Pujstark was planning. Their expressions changed.

"Puj Stark! No! We can definitely rush out. The distress signal has already been sent out. We just need to hold on a little longer!"

The light in Louis's eyes grew brighter. He quickly stopped Puj Stark.

They all came to the black hole because of him. He had to bear a lot of responsibility for causing their deaths.

If the students of Mokissner died as well, then he would be a sinner of humanity. This was not something he could live with.

In just a short period of time, more than ten people had lost their lives to the Soul Eater Rats.

After seeing the situation getting worse and worse, Pujstark no longer held back and unleashed all his power.

Brandy did the same. He stood at the front and used a Space Strangle. All the Soul Eater Rats that charged at him were ground into minced meat.

The other three students did the same as well. They steadily protected the remaining three corners.

Five of them used up all their superpower and the pressure on the other students reduced greatly. However, in just a few minutes, the five of them were already exhausted.

The four students from St. John looked at Louis. They were waiting for him to give the order.

As St. John's students, they felt that it was the right time to step forward.

However, Louis did not give any orders.

Bang!

Brandy's psionic power was exhausted, and his Space Strangle shattered. The Soul Eater Rats pounced on him and killed him in an instant.

The students of Mokissner had lost one of their team members.

Due to this incident, many people were not able to react in time. This caused a large number of Soul Eater Rats to rush into the defensive circle. More than a dozen people died.

The other students from Mokissner also exhausted their psionic power. They died one after another. They were all eaten by the Soul Eater Rats.

Louis was still watching from afar. He did not seem like he wanted to give any orders.

The other four students from St. John were anxious. In the end, they decided not to wait for Louis's order and begin attacking.

However, just as they were about to use their superpowers to launch an attack, they felt a sharp pain in their bodies.

Some of their heads were smashed into pieces, while others were sliced into half by their heavy swords.

Their deaths were miserable.

"Louis! What are you doing?"

Chapter 73

"Louis! What are you doing?"

Pujstark, who was exhausted, widened his eyes in shock.

He had never expected Louis to kill his teammates.

The St. John students who were heavily injured at the scene were also dumbfounded.

Louis looked at the crowd and let out a maniacal laugh.

"Hahahaha! You bunch of lowly humans should just stop resisting and let us eat you!"

What?

Pujstark was filled with shock. Louis did not sound human at all.

"You're not Louis! Who are you?"

Pujstark tried his best to support his weak body and stood up. He looked at Louis warily.

The others started defending against the Soul Eater Rats again. The situation was not looking good at all.

"You don't need to know who I am. All of you will become our food! You will aid us in attacking humans!"

"Bastard!"

Pujstark cursed angrily and raised his hand to launch his superpower.

However, he had exhausted all his psionic power. The attack that he tried his best to condense was destroyed by Louis with a wave of his hand.

"Don't struggle anymore! Today, all of you will die for sure!"

Louis had an arrogant look on his face. Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he charged towards Pujstark. His right hand transformed into a claw. He clawed out Pujstark's heart.

"It's really delicious!"

Louis became infatuated after looking at Puj Stark's bright red heart in his hand. He opened his mouth and ate it. He enjoyed it greatly.

At the same time, there were still dozens of people struggling to break free. Louis stood among the Soul Eater Rats and watched their final struggle with a sneer.

Suddenly, Louis looked in the direction of the human base and frowned.

"They came so soon?" muttered Louis.

"Children, hurry up!" said Louis.

At the same time, he started to attack the Soul Eater Rats. He used up all the psionic power in his body at a rapid speed.

Three minutes later, everyone else had died. Louis was the only one left. He was struggling to hold on. His psionic power was almost exhausted. His body was covered with wounds and blood.

At the same time, the human powerhouses appeared. Their leader was Sibis. Everyone that was with him was superpowered users.

Sibis looked at Louis, who was besieged by the Soul Eater Rats. With a wave of his hand, a black hole surrounded Louis. The Soul Eater Rats fell in one after another.

After the Soul Eater Rats realized that the situation had turned sour, they retreated immediately.

Louis looked at Sibis, his face full of guilt. Without saying a word, he fell to the ground and fainted.

Sibis looked at all the corpses on the ground. He was full of heartache.

This was the future of mankind!

"Send Louis back for treatment," said Sibis in a low voice.

He raised his head and looked at the Soul Eater Rats who were retreating.

"Black Hole myriad races, can you all not hold it in anymore?" muttered Sibis softly. No one else could hear him.

The Godslayer plan was cruel in the eyes of those who did not understand it. However, only those who were in the pyramid of power knew about it.

It was only because of the Godslayer plan that humans were able to survive in this world.

"Looks like it has to be faster."

Sibis flew towards the base.

Hundreds of people had died.

Those who fought alone did not know about the incident. At the same time, many of those who went alone had died in the hands of the monsters.

There were also some that were still killing monsters to gain experience.

As for Vincent's side, no one had died. They were not even injured.

Vincent obtained the Godly King's Posture superpower through the fusion of his two superpowers. He was like a monster that had powerful combat strength.

In order to test the strength and effectiveness of his Godly King's Posture, Vincent was determined to fight a high-level monster alone.

"Vincent is so strong!"

Nabil was surprised.

Angelina did not speak. She just looked at Vincent with admiration and adoration. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Avril clenched her fists tightly. She felt powerless.

She wanted to be as good as Vincent. She tried her best to reach his level. However, the gap between her and Vincent kept increasing.

Chris did not care about the gap between him and Vincent. He just looked at Vincent with a face full of fighting spirit.

Chris could also kill a high-level monster if he wanted to. It would just not be as easy for him.

Vincent was fighting a high-level monster known as the Scorpion-tailed Draconic Horse Beast.

Its entire body was covered in scales and was as hard as iron. It had a black and purple scorpion tail that was extremely poisonous.

In order for him to experience the effects of the Godly King's Posture to the maximum extent, Vincent did not use his full strength to fight against the Scorpion-tailed Draconic Horse Beast.

Whilst trying to withstand the Scorpion-tailed Draconic Horse Beast's attack, Vincent was pierced by its scorpion tail.

However, Vincent recovered and returned to his original state in a blink of an eye.

Chris and the others were terrified after seeing what happened.

Penetrating wounds were fatal. However, it did not have any effect on Vincent.

Vincent lost interest in experimenting with his new superpower.

He trapped the Scorpion-tailed Draconic Horse Beast using Hellfire Prison and set it ablaze with Hellfire. The monsters burned to ashes immediately.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a high-level monster, Scorpion-tailed Draconic Horse Beast. You have obtained the battle skill fusion album."

"Do you wish to use it?"

Vincent's heart was filled with joy. He had been quite lucky so far. He had only killed less than five monsters but had already managed to obtain two special rewards.

Vincent checked the effects of the battle skill fusion album. He was surprised to find out that it allowed him to fuse all his skills. Plus, it was not limited to just combat skills. However, he could only use it once.

Without any hesitation, Vincent fused all of his combat skills together.

"Ding! Fusing, please wait…"

"Ding! Fusion complete! Congratulations to the host for completing the fusion. You have obtained a growth-type combat skill known as Mimicry combat skill."

"Mimicry combat skill allows the host to learn all combat skills at a glance and execute them in a perfect state."

Vincent gulped. Mimicry was terrifyingly powerful.

He could learn all the combat skills at a glance! Does this mean that in the future, no matter what skills were displayed in front of him, he would be able to learn them immediately?

This was equivalent to Vincent obtaining a free learning machine! Plus, it was the type that did not require any practice. He could learn and master it instantly.

Vincent was even more shocked to know that he could display his combat skills perfectly.

A person's combat skill proficiency would be considered perfect if they were able to display 100% of its effects.

According to the records in Quinn, a super-perfect display would allow a person to display at least 120% of the effects of a combat skill!

"That's sick! It's really too sick!"

Vincent could not help himself. He said it out loud.

"What's too sick?" asked Angelina curiously.

Chris and the others walked over to Vincent.

"It's nothing. Let's continue moving forward."

Vincent gave an excuse and they continued to explore.

Whilst searching for monsters, Vincent looked at his character panel.

Vincent clenched his fists after looking at the character panel.

"I'll grow faster by killing monsters!" he thought to himself.

Chapter 74

The Thunder Beast was a special-class monster. It was a light blue ball of thunder. It did not have a physical form.

The Thunder Beast was also immune to physical attacks and could explode at any time.

Vincent and his team looked at the monster. They did not know what to do.

This was the first time they had encountered a monster that was immune to physical attacks. Amongst the five of them, Avril was the only one who could not deal damage to it at all.

A high-level monster was not a problem for them. Although they might take a while to kill it, they will still kill it in the end.

However, the Thunder Beast was a special-class monster.

Given the circumstances, the outcome of the battle was unpredictable.

Vincent looked at the four of them. They were all full of fighting spirit.

Vincent knew that it was not realistic for them to retreat. This was because the Thunder Beast was eyeing them like a tiger eyeing its prey. It could launch an attack at them at any time.

"Chris, you need to transform into a monster that has elemental damage. Focus on the wood and earth elements."

Since they could not retreat, Vincent started to give orders to his team.

"Angelina, pay attention and use your superpower on the Thunder Beast. You need to prevent it from self-destructing."

"Nabil, prepare to buff Chris and me. Prepare your 100,000 Lightning Strikes."

"Avril, protect Angelina and Nabil."

After he arranged their battle positions, Vincent pulled out his Purgatory Blade. He then raised his hand to cast Fire Net.

"Mimicry, Fire Net!"

The Collapsing Mountain Strike and Fire Net were no longer officially on the list of Vincent's combat skills. However, after using Mimicry, Vincent felt that any combat skills that he used became much smoother and were more powerful than before.

Swoosh!

The Fire Net suddenly appeared beside the Thunder Beast. It then started shrinking.

However, the Thunder Beast's movements were very fast. It escaped from the Fire Net in a blink of an eye.

Chris roared. He took a green crystal core and swallowed it unwillingly.

Chris did not like to attack from a distance. He preferred close combat.

He liked the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death. The feeling of danger made him very excited.

Boom!

Chris's body suddenly enlarged in size and slowly transformed into a towering tree.

He was a high-level monster, the Towering Tree.

With one violent shake, he could send out countless leaves to attack the Thunder Beast.

After seeing Chris's attack, Vincent slapped his forehead.

"Chris, isn't this also a physical attack?" asked Vincent.

Chris suddenly stopped shaking his body. It was awkward.

Vincent did not bother to wait any longer. He grabbed a vine that was burning with black flames using both his hands.

It was the Fire Vine!

However, the Fire Vine this time seemed to be more powerful and resilient than before.

Vincent also felt like he was more adept at controlling the Fire Vine.

The Thunder Beast completely ignored the leaves that were flying towards it. Vincent's Fire Vine was also about to strike the Thunder Beast. However, the Thunder Beast jumped in time and dodge the Fire Vine easily.

"Holy Light Binding!"

Nabil seized the opportunity and released Holy Light Binding. He managed to trap the Thunder Beast.

"100,000 Lightning Strikes!"

Nabil launched another attack.

Boom!

The 100,000 Lightning Strikes struck the Thunder Beast's body. However, instead of killing it, it made it grow bigger in size.

"F*ck! The Thunder Beast is a thunder attribute monster. You gave it 100,000 Lightning Strikes! You're not helping!"

Chris cursed at Nabil in a low voice.

Chris shook his body again. Countless illusory emerald leaves appeared around him.

"Hahaha! I'm a genius! I thought of such a brilliant method!"

"Illusion leaf flying kills!"

The illusory emerald leaves flew towards the Thunder Beast once again.

However, the Thunder Beast still did not dodge Chris's attack. After breaking free from the Holy Light Binding, the Thunder Beast started to expand. Countless electric arcs that were as thick as a baby's finger shot out towards Vincent and the others.

Vincent's expression changed. He jumped in front of everyone and used his right hand to form a shield. The shield was burning with black flames. He then used the shield to block the Thunder Beast's electric arcs.

"Absorb!"

"No!"

Angelina saw the Thunder Beast expanding. She thought that it was going to explode, so she quickly used her superpower.

Vincent noticed that Angelina was about to use her superpower. He tried to stop her, but it was too late. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Vincent had learned about the characteristics and attack forms of the respective monsters from the book that Teacher Chris gave him.

When the Thunder Beast started to expand, he could tell from a glance that it was just the Thunder Beast's way of attacking.

Angelina had a good foundation and had studied monsters as well.

It was impossible for her to not be able to tell apart the Thunder Beast's attack methods. Her body was probably tensed up due to stress. When she saw the Thunder Beast expanding, she started to attack subconsciously.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for learning the Thunder Arc!"

"What? Thunder Arc?"

Vincent was stunned. He was only focused on the Thunder Beast monster. He did not look anywhere else. Where did this combat skill come from?

He could not understand it at all. The only explanation would be that the combat skill came from the Thunder Beast.

"Mimicry, Thunder Arc!"

Vincent used the Thunder Arc without any hesitation. Blue electric arcs that were as thick as a baby's arm shot out from his hands.

Its speed was extremely fast. In just one breath, the arcs flew dozens of meters and struck the Thunder Beast's body.

Boom!

The Thunder Beast that was being controlled by Angelina started to shrink. Just as it returned to its normal size, it was hit by Vincent's Thunder Arc. Its body expanded instantly. It grew ten times its original size.

Bang!

The Thunder Beast exploded.

A Thunderball that was the size of a soybean with a light blue crystal core fell onto the ground.

Vincent's system notification sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a special-class monster, Thunder Beast. You have obtained the black hole myriad races atlas."

What was this?

Vincent looked at the atlas in his backpack.

"Black hole myriad races atlas is an atlas that records the names, forms, habits, social structures, and other information regarding the various races on the other side of the black hole."

"Remark 1: The monster is just a pet of the various races on the other side of the black hole."

"Remark 2: Where do you think the monster of the black hole is from? And what is on the other side of the black hole? This world is far from simple…"

"Remark 3: No Access."

"Remark 4: No Access."

…

Vincent widened his eyes in shock and stood rooted on the ground. He did not even notice when a Little ThunderBall came to his side and spun around him happily.

He was shocked by the introduction in the black hole myriad races atlas.

There was simply too much information in there.

Plus, there were also a series of comments in the atlas. However, it stopped at the second entry. It was obvious that there were other hints, but Vincent could not continue to read them. He could not understand why.

"Vincent! Vincent! What's wrong?" asked Angelina repeatedly.

Vincent suddenly shivered and turned to look at Angelina.

"What's wrong?" asked Vincent.

Angelina was speechless.

"It's not what's wrong with me, it's what's wrong with you. Ever since you entered the black hole, you've been acting strange," said Angelina.

Vincent shook his head and just kept quiet. He did not plan to tell the four of them about the atlas.

This matter was of great importance. It was not something that could be talked about casually, nor could it be easily explained.

"I'm fine," said Vincent.

He just smiled. He did not say anything further.

"Eh? What is this?" asked Vincent.

Vincent noticed the Little Thunder Ball on his shoulder. His face was full of curiosity.

He could feel intimacy and joy from the Little ThunderBall.

There was some kind of inexplicable connection between him and the Little ThunderBall.

Angelina shrugged and said, "I don't know what it is, but it looks like a Thunder Beast. However, it is much smaller and much weaker. It seems to be quite close to you, and it is not hostile, so we don't care."

Vincent stretched out his finger and poked the Little ThunderBall. The Little ThunderBall responded by rubbing against his finger.

"This little guy is quite fun. Although I don't know why you're here with me, but since you're here, you can be my partner," said Vincent.

After hearing what Vincent had said, the Little Thunder Ball flew up again and circled around Vincent. It looked very happy.

The system's notification sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for subduing a pet: Thunder Beast (unnamed). Please go to the character panel to check the pet's attributes."

Vincent opened the character panel curiously.

Vincent closed his character panel and looked at the Little ThunderBall.

He thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you shall be called Thunderball."

Thunderball flew onto Vincent's face and rubbed against him intimately. It was obvious that it liked its name very much.

Chapter 75

Vincent and his team battled through the black hole smoothly. However, the fate of the others who fought alone was not as good. They were all injured.

There were close to a thousand people who went into the black hole. Other than the 100 people who stayed in the base to help repair the buildings and defenses, there were less than 200 people who survived.

Two-thirds of them had lost their lives in the black hole. They would never be able to return.

On one side, Vincent and the others were still fighting monsters. On the other side, the experts of Falcon Country were gathered together. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

"Sibis, are you sure that this was the work of the 10,000 races of the black hole?"

Harrison looked at Sibis with a grave expression.

The others had the same expression.

In the entire world, no matter what it was, so long as it was related to the 10,000 races of the black hole, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

Sibis nodded his head.

"Other than the 10,000 races of the black hole, it's impossible to gather that many Soul Eater Rats. It's very obvious that it was a premeditated ambush," said Sibis.

"So many S-Class and A-Class users were gathered together. If they didn't receive the news in advance, it would be impossible for there to be so many casualties!"

Sibis frowned.

"Out of a team that had 300 people, only Louis survived."

"What about the others? Didn't they say that there were nearly 1,000 people who entered Black Hole No. 3?" asked Mike.

Mike's eyes were filled with sadness.

The mass killing of the specially recruited students was a serious loss for any school. It was also a huge loss for Falcon Country.

The Falcon Country's powerhouses were all in a state of disarray.

"According to the students who helped build the buildings and defenses, they were all either acting alone or in small teams."

"I've already sent people to look for them. I hope they can come back alive," said Sibis.

After hearing what Sibis had said, everyone closed their eyes in despair.

Only one person survived from a team that had more than 300 people. The chances of surviving were too slim for the ones who acted alone.

"I suggest that we speed up the Godslayer plan this time," said Sibis.

Sibis was the first to suggest his own idea.

The others fell silent. They knew very well what the consequences were if they sped up the Godslayer plan.

Moreover, the long-standing efforts of their human ancestors might be ruined.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Sibis suddenly stood up.

"I know what you all are worried about. However, judging from the current situation, we have no other way. If we don't start this Godslayer plan as soon as possible, the children might all die in this meaningless battle."

"I don't care about what all of you are thinking. I will definitely start the Godslayer plan ahead of time."

"Harm a group of children, protect more children and even the entire human race!"

"Although this isn't fair to the children and we will be criticized by others, let me bear all the blame!" said Sibis.

Sibis then turned around to leave. It was tragic.

Swain took a deep breath and sighed, "I announce that the Godslayer plan has officially begun! Find those bastards and tear them into pieces!"

"Yes! Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Everyone agreed at the same time.

The experts of Falcon Nation were filled with grief. They were starting on a plan that was not meant to be started so soon.

In the black hole, Vincent and his team were in trouble.

Thirteen special-class monsters surrounded them in all directions.

Vincent and his team stood back-to-back and formed a circle. All of them had determined looks on their faces.

Thirteen special-class monsters against the five of them. Even if they had the help of St. John and Mokissner's students, it was unlikely for them to make it out alive.

"Vincent, what should we do?" asked Chris.

This was the first time that Chris actually felt powerless.

Although he was a warmonger, he was not a fool. He had no idea how to fight his way through thirteen special-class monsters and come out alive.

Although Vincent did not plan to give up, he could not think of a way to break out of there.

Vincent knew that he would be fine. He had the Godly King's Posture. Even if he wanted to die, it would be very difficult.

But, what about the other four?

At that moment, all he could think about was how to bring his teammates back alive.

The four of them were also waiting for Vincent's orders.

Fortunately, the thirteen special-class monsters did not start attacking.

"Right!"

Vincent's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had thought of a way to diffuse the situation.

Although he did not know if it would be effective, any glimmer of hope was better than none.

"Don't act rashly, leave it to me!" said Vincent in a serious tone.

"If I tell you to run, you run. Don't hesitate at all."

After saying that, Vincent walked out and faced a two-headed lizard. At the same time, he used Monster Affinity.

Monster Affinity. That was his solution.

It would be best if he could establish a connection with the monsters. However, if he could not establish a connection, just a few seconds of doubt would be sufficient as well.

His teammates were powerful people. A few seconds would be enough for them to escape.

It would be easier if Vincent was the only one left. The thirteen special-class monsters would not be able to do anything to him.

With his Godly King's Posture and undying body, he would exhaust these monsters to death.

When the two-headed lizard saw Vincent walking out, it suddenly rushed forward and raised its claws to attack. However, when its claws were only a few millimeters away from Vincent's head, it suddenly stopped.

The lizard's two heads looked at each other. They then looked at Vincent in a daze.

Vincent let out a sigh of relief after seeing the lizard's reaction.

He had earned the Monsters' Nemesis title because of his Monster Affinity superpower. Although he also had a relationship with the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex, it was mainly due to Vincent's own superpower.

After all, the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex was a special-class monster. It organized a Monster Horde. It also had a certain degree of affection for Vincent. This in itself represented Vincent's strength.

After handling the two-headed lizard, Vincent turned to look at the one-claw seven-colored chicken beside it.

The one-claw seven-colored chicken looked exactly like a common chicken. It was just that it had seven-colored feathers all over its body and had only one claw. Its body was rainbow-colored.

It relied mainly on its beak to attack. It had the power to break gold and jade using its beak.

The one-claw rainbow chicken saw Vincent staring at it and was about to attack him. Vincent proceeded to use Monster Affinity on it.

Before it could even raise its head, it was already at a loss. It looked even more confused than the two-headed lizard. It looked at Vincent with a somewhat intimate gaze.

Vincent did the same. This gradually caused the seven monsters to fall into a daze.

"Run!" shouted Vincent.

His psionic power was being used up rapidly in order to increase the effect of Monster Affinity.

After hearing Vincent's command, the four of them started to escape using their superpowers.

Right when they started moving, the thirteen special-class monsters roared angrily and chased after the four of them.

The monsters ignored Vincent completely.

Vincent was expecting that to happen. He controlled the three monsters that were in the front and gave them the order to stop the other monsters from chasing after his teammates.

The three monsters that were being controlled by Vincent switched sides immediately. As the other monsters were not prepared, they were sent flying instantly and were heavily injured.

The other monsters roared angrily after seeing what happened. The three monsters stayed behind to attack the other monsters under Vincent's control, while some monsters continued to chase after Chris, Angelina, Avril, and Nabil.

Vincent blocked the monsters. Just as he was about to unleash Hellfire using all his strength, five people flew over him from the horizon. They were all superpowered users.

"Report, this is team nine. We have found the students from Quinn. They are currently being attacked by thirteen special-class monsters. We are unable to escort them back to the base. Requesting backup!"

Chapter 76

Vincent heaved a sigh of relief after seeing five special-class superpowered users heading over to rescue them. At least he was safe for the time being.

"Vincent, take the others and leave first. We'll stop the monsters!" said the leader.

The leader was a bald, bearded man.

While they were talking, two special-class monsters suddenly appeared. They then started fighting.

The other four special-class superpowered users met their opponents.

They took turns covering and attacking using their superpowers. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

The five of them cooperated very well. They advanced and retreated all at the same time.

Vincent's eyes were filled with envy after seeing how they fought.

Although he and his team cooperated very well, their level of cooperation was still far from perfect.

However, the five of them were still suppressed by the monsters. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated and killed.

Unfortunately, the situation was not something that could be helped. Under normal circumstances, humans had always been much weaker than monsters even though they were at the same level.

Vincent and the others did not leave. They tried to control the three monsters and attacked them with all their strength.

They had completely given up on their defense. They did not care about injuries or broken limbs.

One of the monsters got its head bitten off.

The two monsters that Vincent was attacking have completely lost their fighting power.

Chris and the other three stood aside and watched. Their roles had been reduced to just spectators.

The battle lasted for ten minutes. All the monsters under Vincent's control were killed. Only six monsters were left.

The other four monsters had completely suppressed the five superpowered users. Unfortunately, two more monsters proceeded to join the battle.

During that time, Vincent still wanted to use Monster Affinity to reduce the pressure on the five superpowered users.

However, he could not move forward at all. The destructive power caused by the eleven special-class monsters was very terrifying. The aftermath alone was not something Vincent could withstand.

The bearded man almost died from anger when he saw Vincent and his team still present.

The five of them were using their lives to buy time for Vincent and his team to escape. However, they did not leave.

The bearded man cursed at Vincent angrily.

"Bastard! Vincent! Why are you still here?"

"Hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, I would have risked my life for nothing!"

"Ah!"

Suddenly, without him noticing, he was attacked by a monster and was sent flying. One of his arms had been torn off.

Fresh blood splattered on the ground. It was dazzling red.

Vincent frowned and looked at the bearded man. The bearded man turned over and stood up. It was obvious that he was at the end of his rope, but he still wanted to join the battle.

"Let's go!"

Vincent turned around abruptly. Tears started to fill his eyes. He raised his arm and ran towards the base.

Chris and the others gritted their teeth and followed behind Vincent.

They knew very well what the fate would be for the five superpowered users. However, they did not hesitate to run. This was the inherited spirit of humans!

They also knew very well that they would not be of much help if they stayed. It would be a waste of time. They might as well leave as soon as possible.

At the very least, the five superpowered users did not die in vain.

Boom!

Vincent and the others had not gone far when they suddenly heard a loud explosion behind them.

Vincent and the others subconsciously turned their heads to look. A mushroom-shaped cloud rose up behind them. It was where the superpowered users were fighting the monsters.

Angelina, who was already in tears, burst into tears again.

Avril, Vincent, Chris, and Nabil were also in tears.

"Let's go! We'll get our revenge sooner or later!" yelled Vincent.

Vincent wiped the tears off his face.

At the same time, the people who had come to support them had also arrived. The 25 superpowered users looked at the mushroom-shaped cloud from a distance. They were very sad and remained silent for a long time.

After returning to the base, the special students who were still alive gathered together.

There were nearly a thousand people who went into the black hole. However, only about two hundred people returned. The rest of them died in the black hole.

Although every special student who went into the black hole had prepared themselves for death, the death of so many of their companions still made them feel cold.

It had been one and a half days since they entered the black hole.

During this time, they realized just how fragile humans were when facing monsters.

This was especially so for Vincent as he had obtained the black hole's myriad races atlas. He was more aware of the human situation than the others.

Monsters were pets of the myriad races of the black hole!

Their pets had already made it so difficult for humans to survive. How powerful were the myriad races of the black hole?

Vincent did not dare to even think about it.

After leaving the black hole and returning to the Jungle Capital, the specially recruited students returned to their respective residences silently.

That night, everyone did not have a good rest. The next day, the competition continued.

In the Falcon Arena, many participants had dark circles under their eyes.

The host announced the death of the specially recruited students in the black hole. He then announced the start of the team battle competition.

Due to the incident in the black hole, many schools were unable to participate in the team battle. Only about a dozen schools participated in the team battle.

As for the three great schools, apart from Quinn, that still had their whole team, there was no one from the other schools left to participate.

All of the students from Mokissner had died in the battle. Louis was the only one left from St. John. He was still heavily injured and unconscious in the hospital.

After being rescued by Sibis, Louis was immediately admitted to the hospital. After he underwent a full body checkup, the doctors found more than 1,300 wounds all over his body. The psionic power in his body had been completely exhausted, and his foundation had been damaged.

After drawing lots, Quinn School battled against Nalan School. Due to the huge difference in strength, Quinn won the battle easily.

In the end, Quinn obtained first place in the team battle.

There was no suspense in the subsequent peak matches. Vincent and Chris picked all their opponents.

The special enrollment competition then ended. Sibis and Teacher Chris finally reunited with the students.

Sibis waved his hand and took out a space teleportation device. He then used it to bring Vincent and the others back to Blazing City.

"Too many things have occurred in a short period of time. All of you should go back and rest. In half a month, it will be time for the new students to register. During that time, the classes will officially begin," said Sibis with a gloomy expression.

"Vincent, come with me," said Sibis.

He looked at Vincent and turned around to leave.

Vincent was filled with curiosity. He followed Sibis accordingly.

Chris and the others looked at Sibis and Vincent. They were puzzled, but they did not say anything. They just left after them.

In the principal's office, Vincent and Sibis sat opposite each other.

"Principal Sibis, why did you call me here?" asked Vincent.

Vincent decided to speak first as Sibis had been quiet for quite a while.

Sibis did not answer Vincent. He just looked at him quietly for a long time.

"Vincent, don't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you," said Sibis.

Sibis was very serious. Vincent was frightened.

He had never seen Sibis so serious ever since he met him.

"Have you heard of the Godslayer Plan?"

"The Godslayer Plan? What's that?"

Vincent was puzzled. Just from the name alone, he knew that the plan was not going to be a simple one.

He could vaguely guess that the Godslayer Plan was something that had to do with high-level monsters or even the black hole's myriad races.

Chapter 77

Sibis's answer confirmed Vincent's guess.

Sibis explained to Vincent what the Godslayer Plan was.

"The Godslayer Plan is dependent on the best human seedlings. They are tasked to kill powerful monsters in order to relieve the pressure and tension on the humans' defenses."

"You can treat those who participate in the Godslayer Plan like the Special Forces. They are in charge of doing things like beheading the enemies from behind."

Vincent nodded. He understood Sibis's explanation.

"And the monsters that you are facing are at least lord-level. There are even overlord-level monsters. They are extremely dangerous. Anyone who fights them can die at any time!"

"Also, if you lose your life, there will be no news regarding your death. Your name will never be known. From now on, you will become a person without a name and disappear from humans' sight."

Sibis stood up and walked to Vincent. He patted Vincent on his shoulder.

"And with your current fame, as long as you grow steadily, you will definitely become a powerhouse. The whole world will tremble before you!"

"Now you have to make a choice. On one end, you will be famous and be remembered by the human race! On the other end, you will never be known, and no one will know even if you died."

"You understand what I'm saying, right?" asked Sibis.

Sibis looked at Vincent full of worry.

Although he knew what Vincent's choice was, he could not help but be a little worried.

After all, the difference between the two choices was obvious. As long as one was not a fool, they would choose the former.

Vincent was also very hesitant in his heart. He knew which option was the better choice.

However, the current situation made him extremely worried about the human race.

As the saying goes, there will not be a whole egg after a nest has been overthrown. He was still a human. If there were problems with the human race, it would not benefit him either.

Moreover, the matter of the 10,000 races in the black hole made him very worried. He did not know if Sibis knew about the 10,000 races in the black hole.

Even if he killed many monsters, it would not be enough to change the current situation. It would only prolong the survival time of the human race.

However, being able to extend the survival time would give humans the chance to repel the monsters, resist and even defeat the black hole races!

Vincent's gaze became more and more determined. He knew what he should do.

Sibis looked at Vincent's gaze and let out a sigh of relief.

Vincent was the most important part of the Godslayer plan. If Vincent did not participate, humans will not know when they will have the opportunity to fight against the black hole races again.

Being able to extend the survival time of the human race was a great opportunity to save humanity. At the same time, it would also give the black hole races enough time to descend onto earth.

Although he did not want Vincent to participate, the Godslayer Plan was extremely important. Other than Vincent, there was no one else who would be more suitable for the plan.

"Principal Sibis, I choose to participate in the Godslayer Plan!" said Vincent.

Vincent looked at Sibis with a determined gaze.

He was not a god, but he was willing to make a contribution to ensure the survival of mankind.

Sibis revealed a gratified smile and patted Vincent on the shoulder again.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! As expected of a pupil of Sibis."

"Go back and rest first. If you need anything during this cultivation period, just let me know."

Vincent nodded and bid farewell to Sibis. He got up to leave the principal's office.

Just when he was about to exit the door, Vincent suddenly thought of a question. He then turned his head to ask, "Principal Sibis, do I still need to join the Special Forces?"

"You can go if you want to. The Godslayer Plan isn't going to start so soon. I still need to select some people to form a second team to assist you," said Sibis.

Vincent nodded. He then closed the door and left.

Sibis sat on a chair. He reached out his hand and took out a photo from the void. The photo had turned a little yellow. It was obvious that it had been there for a long period of time.

There were seven people in the picture. There were five men and two women. Sibis was one of them.

Other than Sibis, there was also the principal of St. John, Harrison, and the principal of Mokissner, Mike.

"Ares, Athena, I'm sorry! I've let you down. For the future of humanity, I've let your son walk the same path as us!"

Sibis looked at the photo, his face full of guilt. He looked at the burly man and the valiant-looking woman in the photo.

"What I can do is to find him a strong group of teammates, so that he won't meet the same fate as us," muttered Sibis.

Vincent left the principal's office. However, he did not return to his dormitory. Instead, he left Quinn School.

He headed over to Hero City to join the Special Forces.

If he had not known about the 10,000 races of the black hole, he might have given himself a day off to rest.

However, he knew that the monsters were not humanity's final opponent and that there were still 10,000 races in the black hole. He could not bring himself to rest for even a moment.

Moreover, he still had to participate in the Godslayer Plan. That was a matter of life and death. If he was not strong enough, he would only be a burden to others. 𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮

From the current situation, no one knew about the 10,000 races of the black hole. Only the human powerhouses knew about it.

Vincent thought it through clearly. Regardless of whether the human powerhouses knew about the current situation, he had to become stronger. He had to become strong enough to fight against the 10,000 races of the black hole. He will need to protect the human race and defeat the 10,000 races of the black hole.

After leaving Blazing City, Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and flew upwards. He used Mimicry. This resulted in his Flaming Wings becoming even bigger, stronger, and faster than before.

It usually took him a few hours to reach Hero City. However, with Mimicry, it only took him less than an hour.

After passing through security, Vincent walked into Hero City. He found his way to the Special Forces base using the address given by Sibis.

The Special Forces base was located in the middle of Hero City. This was to ensure that it would be convenient for them to rush anywhere if there was an emergency.

After all, Hero City was the defending city of Blazing City. It was inevitable to stop the city from being attacked by powerful monsters. There were also Monster Hordes from time to time. It was just that the hordes were not as big as the last time.

The Special Forces base was a three-story building. It was open to everyone. Vincent entered the base easily.

The first floor was a hall. It was supported by a few pillars. On the left side of the hall was a staircase. There was a window by the staircase.

There were many tables in the hall. It was a place for people to rest.

There was also a huge counter facing the door. On the counter was a huge projection screen. There were all kinds of missions listed on it such as killing monsters, gathering resources, and many others.

Each mission corresponded to a certain type of reward. Vincent did not bother to look at it carefully. He strolled up to the counter and saw a young, beautiful girl standing there.

He smiled at her.

"Hello, may I know if the Special Forces are here?"

The young girl saw Vincent's well-defined face and blushed. She also felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Go up the stairs. The Special Forces are on the second floor. This is the Mission Hall," said the young girl as she pointed to the stairs.

"Thank you," said Vincent.

Vincent nodded slightly, turned around, and walked towards the stairs.

The girl looked at Vincent and suddenly remembered he was the famous Vincent!

"Damn it, I didn't recognize him. I just missed him!" said the young girl.

The young girl was somewhat annoyed, but she felt relieved at the same time. It seemed like Vincent was going to join the Special Forces, so there would definitely be many opportunities for her to meet him in the future. She was not in a hurry.

Chapter 78

When Vincent arrived on the second floor, he saw Johnny.

"Vincent! You're here!" said Johnny excitedly.

He had heard from Sibis that Vincent wanted to join the Special Forces.

Vincent's presence would undoubtedly strengthen the Special Forces.

"Mayor Johnny, long time no see!" said Vincent whilst smiling and nodding.

"Let's go! I'll bring you to meet the members of the Special Forces. You can get to know the team!"

Johnny then brought Vincent inside.

The second floor was roughly the same as the first floor except for the fact that it had rooms. Based on Johnny's introduction, Vincent could tell that it was the place where the Special Forces members usually rested.

After walking inside, Johnny led Vincent to a wall. He then pressed his hand against the wall. Suddenly, the wall opened and revealed an elevator door.

The two of them walked in as soon as the elevator door opened. The elevator then moved downwards.

"The Special Forces usually train underground. On one hand, it's to ensure everyone's safety. On the other hand, it's better for training too."

"The elevator is hidden. Only those who are on the Special Forces list can access it. Ordinary people will not be able to find the entrance at all," explained Johnny.

Vincent nodded.

The Special Forces were the most important force in Hero City. There would not be any problems if they took the right protective measures.

Less than three minutes later, the elevator came to a halt. Vincent and Johnny exited the elevator.

Vincent saw all kinds of training equipment there. They were not much different from Quinn.

Many people were busy training.

"Nask!" shouted Johnny loudly.

A thin and feminine-looking man who was training walked over.

"Vincent?"

Nask was stunned after seeing Vincent.

Due to Vincent's outstanding performance, the members of the Special Forces were aware of who he was.

"Vincent, let me introduce him to you. Nask is the captain of the first squad of the Special Forces."

"Nask, I don't have to introduce Vincent, right? From now on, he will be the captain of the Special Forces. He will be managing the five Special Forces squads."

Nask smiled at Vincent.

"You will need to accept missions on the first floor. You can rest on the second floor and have meetings on the third floor. Training will take place underground."

"If you have any problems, you can look for me at any time," said Johnny.

Johnny then turned around and left.

Everything else was left for Vincent to handle. It would not be good if Johnny interfered. As for whether Vincent would be able to subdue the group of unruly fellows, that was not his concern.

However, in his opinion, such a small scene would not be a problem for Vincent.

When the members of the Special Forces heard Johnny mention that Vincent was a Squadron Leader, they all turned to look at him unhappily.

They knew Vincent was very strong. However, he had already become their leader the moment he arrived. They were not comfortable with it at all.

Nask looked at Vincent with a meaningful gaze. His pupils constricted.

He had known Johnny for a long time. Although a good seedling like Vincent would definitely be able to join the Special Forces, he had never expected him to become the Squadron Leader the moment he arrived.

One had to understand that the position of Squadron Leader was a dream position amongst the captains of the five Special Forces squads.

They had worked hard for many years, but they had not been able to achieve it. Vincent on the other hand had directly descended from the sky. Nask felt extremely uncomfortable.

Even though their Special Forces were far superior to the other forces, in reality, they would only be able to see Johnny a few times a year. However, Vincent could go look for Johnny at any time.

The difference in treatment was very obvious.

After seeing Nick's reaction, Vincent knew what was ahead of him.

However, he was not the least bit worried. As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be fights. Compared to what he would be facing in the future, this kind of situation was child's play.

A big fist was the truth!

This was the unspoken rule of the world.

Whether one was willing to submit or not, he would have to fight until they were willing to submit!

Of course, Vincent also planned on taking the initiative to stir up some trouble. He smiled at everyone and turned to leave.

He did not forget why he came to the Special Forces.

"F*ck! Is it that crazy?"

"We have no choice. The capital is crazy for him. Apparently, they say if it wasn't for Vincent, Hero City would have fallen!"

"Bullsh*t! If we didn't delay the main monster, what would have happened to him?"

"Enough! He's our leader. We have to respect him in the future."

"Respect my ass! I can't stand him. It is as if he is too good for me. I won't hesitate to beat the shit out of him!"

Nask listened to what everyone was saying. They were becoming more shameless.

"Disperse! What are you doing? Hurry up and train!" said Nask.

Everyone shrugged and continued with their training.

At the same time, a bald fat man walked over to Nask.

He was the captain of the Special Forces, second squad, Runlun Roy.

"Hey, Nask! You said Vincent left right after he arrived. What is he doing?" asked Runlun Roy.

"He probably went to accept a mission. After all, everyone who just joined the Special Forces is always very curious about missions," answered Mask.

"Let's go and have a look. I'm more curious about the type of missions he can accept," said Runlun Roy.

Everyone was interested to go take a peek.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Everyone got on the elevator and headed towards the Mission Hall.

Just as they walked down the stairs from the second floor, they saw Vincent accepting missions.

"Oh my god! He actually accepted six missions!"

One of them who had sharped eyes saw the list of missions that Vincent had accepted. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Hunting high-level monsters, Magnetic Crocodiles!"

"Searching for high-level ores, Black Gold Sand!"

"Obtaining a special-level monster, The Egg of the Undying Crow!"

"Finding the lost staff of life!"

…

The Special Forces members widened their eyes as they looked at Vincent who was still accepting missions.

"Ten missions! He actually accepted ten missions!"

"How reckless! He actually accepted so many missions!"

"Hmph! He's just trying to attract attention! These missions have been hanging on the top for at least half a year, how can they be so easy to complete?"

"If not for the fact that he's a Squadron Leader and we're just members!"

Runlun Roy snorted coldly, "I want to see where this guy gets his confidence from. He actually dared to accept ten missions!"

Nask's eyes flickered, but he did not say anything.

Vincent slowed down and looked at the mission card in his hand. He nodded his head in satisfaction. 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After all, he felt like he was going on a trip. If he only accepted one or two missions, it would be a waste of time. He might as well accept a few more.

Unfortunately, he could only accept a maximum of ten missions at a time. Otherwise, he would have accepted all of the missions on the list.

Vincent did not know that the Special Forces members were jealous of him.

Of course, even if he knew, he would not care.

He was so strong. Being able to accept ten missions was a skill. What was the use of envy and jealousy? If he had the time, he might as well make himself stronger.

He turned around and saw the members of the Special Force. They all stared at him like he was a joke. Vincent smiled and nodded at them again. He then walked out of the mission hall with his head held high.

Chapter 79

After leaving Hero City, Vincent headed out to complete his first mission. He started with the mission that was furthest away.

Vincent's first mission was to obtain the egg of the Undying Crow!

As the Special Forces have been clearing out monsters, he needed to travel to the defensive mountain range in order to look for high-level monsters.

The Undying Crow was an extremely rare monster. It was very hard to meet one even in the defensive mountain range. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

Vincent unleashed his Flaming Wings and started his journey. After more than an hour, Vincent arrived at the foot of the defensive mountain range.

The last time he was there, he encountered the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, during that time, he was not strong enough to fight the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. He had no choice but to run.

As he had been training, he was confident that he could fight or maybe even win against the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex if they met again.

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex was very strong. It had the combat strength of a special-class monster. Vincent was currently fully capable of fighting against special-class monsters.

The combat strength of the Undying Crow was much weaker than that of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Its greatest characteristic was that it could not die. Even if it was chopped into pieces, it could still be reborn after a period of time.

Therefore, Vincent will need to burn it to ashes.

After searching for more than an hour, Vincent finally found the nest of the Undying Crow. He threw a ball of Hellfire and burned the Undying Crow to ashes. He then walked into the nest.

Usually, normal flying monsters built their nests in trees. However, the Undying Crow built its nests in caves. There was also more than one Undying Crow in each cave.

Vincent walked into the dark cave. There was a pungent rotten smell inside the cave. It took Vincent a long time to get used to the smell.

He could feel many powerful auras in the cave. It was obvious that Vincent's arrival had alerted the Undying Crows.

A large group of Undying Crows flew out of the cave not far from Vincent. Their eyes were red, and they looked at Vincent angrily.

Vincent flipped his hand and took out his Purgatory Blade.

"Great!" shouted Vincent.

He suddenly jumped and swung his Purgatory Blade. A streak of Hellfire shot out in front of him.

It was his combat skill, Jump Slash!

Swoosh!

As he swung his Purgatory Blade, more than ten Undying Crows were ignited by Hellfire. They all burned to death.

The remaining Undying Crows were not bothered by the death of their companions. However, their speed became much faster. They were clearly very angry with Vincent.

"Caw!"

Countless Undying Crows cried out at the same time. It was deafening. They had all cried out together in an almost fully sealed cave.

Vincent was unprepared. He was so shaken that he started to feel dizzy. Blood started to flow out of his ears.

"Fire Net!"

He released the Hellfire Net and used it as a shield.

The Undying Crows crashed into his Fire Net and were instantly burned to death. Countless crows were still charging at him. However, all of them disappeared after coming into contact with the Fire Net.

After half an hour, the Undying Crows had all been eliminated.

Vincent knelt on the ground. Blood was oozing out of his seven orifices as he panted heavily.

The cry of the Undying Crows was extremely damaging. However, it felt more like a mental injury.

Fortunately, as Vincent had fused his superpowers using the gemstone, he possessed the Godly King's Posture. His injured body recovered rapidly.

A few minutes later, Vincent stood up completely healed. He then walked into the cave.

The tunnels within the cave were complex. They all intersected with one another. Vincent could not even remember how many tunnels he had walked through. He was having a lot of difficulties trying to discern his own location.

As Vincent had no other choice, he decided to leave Hellfire seeds in order to retrace his steps.

After looking at the time, Vincent realized that he had actually walked in circles for more than three hours. Fortunately, he could feel countless faint signs of life in front of him. Otherwise, he would have given up.

He walked towards the faint signs. Suddenly, he widened his eyes.

He saw dense crow eggs lying all over the ground. Vincent was delighted. He kept them all in his system backpack. He filled it up to the brink.

Just as he was about to leave, he found a black box sitting in the corner. It blended in with the pitch-black cave.

The Undying Crow did not have the habit of collecting things, so it was very obvious that this box had been in the cave for a long time.

Vincent walked in front of the box and checked it thoroughly. After confirming that there were no signs of danger, he proceeded to open the box.

There was a Brown Beast Skin Scroll and a Memory Crystal inside the box.

The Brown Beast Skin Scroll gave off an extremely terrifying aura. It was obviously left by a powerful monster.

He picked up the Brown Beast Skin Scroll and opened it gently. His eyes suddenly turned white.

At the same time, the Memory Crystal in the box flashed and shattered. A wisp of white gas penetrated the Brown Beast Skin Scroll.

When Vincent regained his vision, he realized that he was in a different place. Birds were chirping and flowers were fragrant.

The sky was clear, and the sun was blazing. The grass was green and there were flowers scattered everywhere. Butterflies were fluttering around in the flowers. It was a peaceful scene.

"Hahahaha! A hundred years! A hundred years! Finally, someone came into this illusion!"

Vincent heard an excited voice coming in all directions. It sounded like it was coming from an old person.

Vincent was shocked after hearing a voice coming from nowhere. He looked around warily to find the source of the voice. However, he failed.

"Little guy, stop looking. The illusion is me. I am an illusion."

The voice sounded joyful.

Vincent did not speak, nor did he move. He just stood there quietly.

He had no idea where he was. He was also uncertain whether the person that was trying to speak to him was good or evil. If Vincent spoke or acted rashly, it would only make the situation even more complicated.

"Little guy, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want to find a successor."

The voice could tell what Vincent was thinking. Although the voice sounded genuine and seemed to be full of goodwill, Vincent did not let his guard down.

The voice did not stay on the issue for long.

"Nevertheless, I would still like to welcome you to the Utopia Fantasy Land. This at least proves that you have enough strength. As long as you pass my test, you will be able to obtain what I have learned in my life," said the voice.

"Little guy, are you ready?" asked the voice.

Before Vincent could even react, the ground started to shake violently. The ground in front of him rippled like water. Suddenly, a tall silver-white five-story tower slowly rose from the ground.

Long stone steps appeared in front of Vincent's feet. It led to the door of the tower.

"The Will Stone Stairs has 365 steps. Each step is twice the previous step. The pressure will increase with every step. Pass the Will Stone Stairs and you can accept the official test!" explained the voice.

"Of course, if you are a coward, then please let me know. It is also good for you to stay here and talk to me."

There was silence after that. The voice had stopped speaking. The entire illusion fell silent.

Vincent just stood there quietly. He looked at the Will Stone Stairs in front of him.

Although he could tell that the voice sounded genuine, he still could not let his guard down.

However, it was also impossible for him to stay.

After some deliberation, Vincent gritted his teeth and took the first step.

Chapter 80

Boom!

Vincent stepped onto the stairs using his right foot. Suddenly, he felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him from all directions. He also felt some resistance in his leg.

"Is this pressure?"

Vincent shrugged. It felt alright.

As he stepped onto the second step, the invisible pressure became even stronger. Although Vincent was prepared, his body still swayed from the pressure. The psionic power in his body started to deplete at an extremely rapid speed.

His Godly King's Posture superpower was not able to help him to recover his psionic power.

What was going on?

Vincent was shocked.

The Godly King's Posture was a combination of his Extreme Speed Training and Peak Condition superpowers. It allowed him to have the effects of both superpowers at the same time. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝘮

This had never happened before.

"Little guy! Looks like you've made your decision!" said the voice. His tone was full of praise.

"Just a friendly reminder. Please do not attempt to use your superpowers or combat skills. You can only walk up the Will Stone Stairs using your own body strength."

Vincent did not believe the voice.

He mobilized Hellfire in his hand.

The moment Hellfire appeared, the pressure around him suddenly increased. Vincent did not have enough time to react. Before he knew it, he had been pushed away. Vincent fell heavily onto the ground. He then turned over and stood up.

Vincent frowned as he looked at the Will Stone Stairs.

At the same time, the Godly King's Posture started working. His psionic power was recovering.

Vincent stood still. He looked at the Will Stone Stairs and fell into deep thought.

Ten minutes later, Vincent summoned Hellfire and threw it at the Will Stone Stairs.

Just as the Hellfire ball entered the range of the Will Stone Stairs, it suddenly slowed down.

It then flew backward towards Vincent at an even faster speed.

Vincent dodged it. The Hellfire ball exploded at the place Vincent was standing before.

It left a large crater in the ground. The aftereffect of the Hellfire ball was twice as powerful.

"Is it rebounding?" muttered Vincent as he looked at the large crater.

He tried using his superpowers twice.

It seemed like the voice was not lying to him.

"Looks like I can only walk up the stairs step by step," said Vincent.

Vincent rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

He reflected on the situation earlier. He felt so much pressure when stepping onto the first flight of stairs. If he could not withstand the pressure, he could be pushed down at any time, or even crushed into meat paste.

There were 365 steps. The pressure on the next step was twice that of the previous step. The pressure was extremely terrifying.

This was not the type of pressure that humans could withstand without superpowers or combat skills.

Not even monsters could withstand it!

Vincent frowned again. If the voice really wanted to choose a successor, why would he or she set up a test that was impossible to pass?

On the contrary, if everything the voice said was false, why would he or she even start this in the first place?

Was it to wash away its sins?

Vincent shook his head. Nothing made sense.

Obviously, there must be a key that he had overlooked.

"What exactly is it?" asked Vincent.

Vincent had a headache just thinking about it. However, he had always felt like he was not far off, and the key was within his reach.

This feeling made him very unhappy and irritated.

"The Will Stone Stairs! This name…"

Vincent's eyes suddenly lit up. He got it.

He started to relax and took a deep breath. Vincent was firm. He stepped onto the Will Stone Stairs again.

Whether or not he could inherit the mantle mentioned by the voice, Vincent did not care anymore. He just wanted to leave this place.

He still had a lot of things to do back in his world.

He stepped onto the stairs again. The pressure weighed down on him like before. Nevertheless, Vincent did not hesitate to take another step.

Two Steps!

Three Steps!

Four Steps!

Five steps!

Vincent was a little out of breath by the time he reached the fifth step. The psionic power in his body was being consumed at a rapid rate. He could not hold out for long.

However, Vincent did not have any thoughts of retreating.

The Will Stone Steps tested a person's willpower!

A person had to depend on oneself in order to have willpower. It had nothing to do with psionic power or combat skills. It was the strongest power in a person's heart.

The stronger his willpower, the greater the things he could achieve!

Vincent was an orphan. His parents had gone missing since he was very young. Vincent had been strong since the first day. His willpower was not a problem at all.

He endured the massive pressure that was sixteen times that of the first step.

Vincent raised his right leg once again.

Thump!

His right foot stepped firmly on the sixth step. At the same time, an even greater pressure pressed down on him.

In just one step, his temples were already covered in fine beads of sweat, and his psionic power depleted even faster.

Vincent felt his lips go numb. He felt dizzy and his eyelids were heavy as if they were fighting to stay open. This was all due to the excessive consumption of his psionic power.

His body could not stop shaking. However, Vincent gritted his teeth. He was determined not to take even half a step back.

However, if he stepped onto the seventh step, he would have to face the pressure sixty-four times. He did not have the confidence to withstand it.

He might as well sit down and start training instead.

Training and mobilizing his psionic power would not cause him to fall off the Will Stone Stairs. It was clear that so long as he did not use his superpower and combat skills, he would not be pushed down.

Vincent trained himself to replenish the psionic power in his body. Although there was a huge gap between recovery and consumption, it prolonged the time Vincent spent on the sixth step.

There was no time for training. Vincent waited until his body had adapted to the pressure of the sixth step. He also ensured that the recovery speed in his body had far exceeded his consumption speed.

He then slowly opened his eyes.

Two days had passed, but Vincent had no idea.

It had always been a sunny day in the paradise illusion.

Vincent was enlightened.

The feeling he felt on the sixth step was similar to the feeling he felt on the first step.

"So that's how it is!"

Vincent stood up and nodded.

Although Vincent had figured out that the Will Stone Test tested willpower, he could not figure out how to withstand the astronomical pressure behind it.

He finally understood it!

He had overlooked something that everyone usually overlooked. It was something that people always took for granted.

Adaptation!

When a person is in an unfamiliar environment, they would always need to undergo the process of adaptation. The process would not be easily discovered due to time.

Over time, it would become one's inherent mode of thinking. The adaptation process was only a matter of time.

The idea of adaptation had existed in the human mind for a long time. However, it had failed to attract humans' attention.

Vincent had managed to take notice of it.

He did not actually have to walk up 365 steps of the Will Stone Stairs in one go. Instead, he needed to adapt to the pressure on each step completely before moving forward.

To put it bluntly, it was only a matter of time before he steadied his mind and walked up the Will Stone Stairs.

He just had to have the willpower to adapt to it.

"Not bad! Very good! Little fellow, I didn't expect you to understand the key to the Will Stone Stairs so quickly!" said the voice.

Its tone was filled with unconcealed admiration and satisfaction towards Vincent.

"God's mercy! He has allowed me to meet such a good seedling when I'm on the verge of extinction!"

The voice sounded very glad. It was the kind of joy that followed after one had encountered a dire incident.

Vincent could tell that the voice was indeed genuine. He then bowed to the silver tower.

"Senior, thank you for your good intentions!" said Vincent.

"Hahaha! Little guy, you're finally willing to speak! Come up, I'll wait for you on the fifth floor."

Chapter 81

Vincent looked at the long steps in front of him and clenched his fists. He then stepped onto the seventh step.

The pressure surged again but it was no longer as strong as he once imagined.

Vincent reached the eleventh step in one breath. However, the situation had become more serious than before.

This time, his legs were bent. He could not stand up straight. He was practically half-squatting on the steps.

Vincent had reached his limit after going up five steps in one go. However, he did not give up.

If he could not do better, then what was the difference between standing still?

After thinking for a while, Vincent raised his right leg. It was extremely difficult for him. He landed heavily on the twelfth step. This step alone took him a full five minutes.

It was as if the psionic power in his body had been completely sucked dry. He had consumed more than half of his psionic power in one step.

Vincent was not at ease. He had flush skin, red eyes, and his sweat was dripping all over the stairs.

"Roar!"

Vincent roared and used what was left of his strength.

He suddenly raised his left leg and landed abruptly on the thirteenth step.

His psionic power that was depleting rapidly had been completely consumed.

Even if Vincent wanted to use his superpowers and combat skills at this point, he had no psionic power left to support him.

His vision started to blur and he became dizzy. Vincent felt like he could faint at any moment.

However, he would not allow himself to.

There was a stream of scarlet blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth.

He would rather die standing than live kneeling!

Creak!

The powerful pressure caused friction in Vincent's bones.

Vincent knew that he could no longer continue to go up the stairs. Otherwise, he would be crushed into a meat patty by the pressure.

Even though he did not want to admit defeat, he still understood what could be done and what could not be done.

Although it seemed like Vincent had only achieved two more steps than before, the pressure had increased exponentially. It was not comparable to the pressure that he was facing before.

The pressure on the sixth step was only thirty-two times, while the pressure on the thirteenth step was more than four thousand times.

Based on the pressure, one had to know that Vincent did not improve by just a little bit.

Even if he only advanced one step, the pressure he was facing was still higher than all the pressure that he faced earlier.

This no doubt reflected Vincent's strong willpower. Otherwise, he would not have been able to step onto the thirteenth step.

He sat down cross-legged again and began to recover his psionic power.

This time, Vincent's training took a long time as compared to before. By the time he opened his eyes again, ten days had already passed.

His psionic power was recovering at a normal speed.

Vincent looked at the three hundred steps in front of him and took a deep breath. He then raised his right leg again.

Vincent did not realize that his psionic power had actually become more solid due to the pressure.

After more than a month of hard work, Vincent was already standing on the 358th step. The pressure that he was facing was equivalent to 1.08 googol.

Googol was the world's largest unit yet; it was 1 to the 100th power. Most people had never even heard of it, let alone used it.

Vincent was enduring a type of pressure that ordinary people could never handle. Nevertheless, he was still able to stand up steadily. He even looked relaxed.

He had grown a lot in just one month. He could feel the changes in his body.

If he were to fight himself from one month ago, Vincent had absolute confidence that he would be able to kill him in one move.

Vincent was terrified to know that he had grown so much. He was extremely shocked. He wondered who the person behind the voice was.

This test that was not even considered the real test was already so terrifying. How terrifying will the real test be?

What destructive lesson did the voice want to teach him?

Vincent had very strong expectations for the next test.

He took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

Vincent used a full month to complete the last seven steps.

Although there were only seven steps left, each step was twice the pressure of the previous step. The 365th step had a pressure of 138.24 googols.

"Phew! It's finally over!" said Vincent.

Vincent walked off the Will Stone Steps and looked at the tower door that was only a few feet away. He let out a long sigh.

As he had been training and climbing the stairs, Vincent did not know that he had actually been in the paradise illusion for two months.

"Congratulations, little guy. You have passed the test successfully. Your talent and willpower are much stronger than I imagined," said the voice. The voice was surprised by Vincent.

"Open the door in front of you and accept my formal test! I look forward to meeting you."

Vincent just smiled and kept silent. He reached out his hand to push open the tower door. He then walked in.

At the same time, in the real world, Vincent's mysterious disappearance had created chaos in the Quinn School.

"Bastard! If you can't find Vincent, don't come back!" yelled Sibis.

Sibis crushed his phone and slammed it onto the ground angrily.

Teacher Chris looked at Sibis, her face was filled with anxiety and panic.

"Principal Sibis, is there still no news of Vincent?"

Sibis shook his head, his face was dark and his eyes were full of worry.

"It's been two months! It's as if Vincent has vanished from the face of the Earth. There's no news at all. Could it be…"

Teacher Chris tried to hold back her tears. She did not know why, but from the moment she found out that Vincent had disappeared, her heart had been on edge. She could not concentrate on her work.

She had no idea why she had become like this. Whenever she thought of Vincent, she could not concentrate. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"No way! Teacher Chris Vincent is very strong. He's stronger than all of the geniuses we've ever met. Whether he entered the black hole or not, he won't die so easily," said Sibis.

Sibis tried to console Teacher Chris. However, in reality, he was not as confident.

The new students had already started school, and the freshmen tournament had ended.

Sibis had chosen the best teammates that Quinn could choose for Vincent. He then chose someone who had a high chance of being able to take charge in the future to form a second team to assist Vincent's team from the remaining individuals.

However, Vincent had gone missing.

If there was anyone who was most worried about Vincent in the world, it would be Sibis.

This was because of Vincent's background. Sibis naturally paid more attention to Vincent. This coupled with the guilt he felt towards Vincent's family, Sibis could not sleep or eat during this period of time.

An overlord-level superpowered user had lost three times in just two months. No one would believe it if the news was released.

"The place where Vincent disappeared has been searched more than ten times. The entire cave is about to be demolished, but there are still no clues."

Teacher Chris finally started to cry.

"His aura had suddenly disappeared inside the cave. If nothing bad actually happened, what other explanation could there be?"

"Principal Sibis, please tell me! I really… really…"

Teacher Chris choked up. She was unable to say the word "died".

Chapter 82

Sibis sighed. He regretted his decision to allow Vincent to join the Special Forces.

If Vincent had not joined the Special Forces, he would not have accepted the mission. If he did not accept the mission, he would not have disappeared.

Sibis prayed to God. If Vincent could come back alive, he would give up on the Godslayer plan and let Vincent live his life peacefully. This was even if he just lived the life of an ordinary person!

Sibis and Teacher Chris could not think of any solutions on their end.

On the students' side, Chris, Angelina, Avril, Nabil, and Swire were also full of worry. Angelina had cried herself unconscious four times. Her eyes were so red and swollen that she could not even see anything.

Swire was Vincent's friend. After coming to Quinn, he got to know Chris and the others. He then joined their circle.

"Don't worry, Vincent is the strongest person in our generation. He has a monster that can fight two levels above him, he'll be fine," said Chris.

Chris tried consoling his four friends. Nevertheless, everyone could still see the unconcealable worry in his eyes.

Four of them did not speak. All of them looked like they had lost their souls.

They really wanted to go out and find Vincent. However, Sibis had strictly forbidden them from leaving Blazing City. In order to prevent them from leaving, he even sent special people to watch over them.

Sibis was very upset after losing Vincent. He cannot imagine if he lost his remaining group of geniuses. Sibis could hardly imagine the kind of situation Falcon Country and the human race would be in in the next few decades.

The special enrollment competition had already caused serious losses to Falcon Country's younger generation. It had even somewhat shaken the foundation of the country. If any more problems arise, the Falcon Country would be wiped off the face of the earth.

Without experts to fight against monsters, only death awaits the entire Falcon Country.

This kind of responsibility was not something that Sibis could bear!

If it were anyone else, they too would not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility.

In Hero City, the entire city was under martial law. Johnny had released everyone under his command to look for Vincent. He had even issued a huge reward.

The Special Forces members originally wanted to see Vincent, who accepted ten missions, become a joke. However, they could not even joke about it anymore. They all had to go out and search for Vincent. They had even lost a five-man team.

They did not actually have any bad intentions towards Vincent. They were just uncomfortable that Vincent became Squadron Leader out of nowhere.

They were also very anxious after learning that Vincent had gone missing.

As long as one was observant, one could tell that Vincent would definitely become the backbone of humanity in the future if he had the chance to grow.

Vincent, who was in the Utopia Fantasy Land, had no idea what was going on over at Quinn.

Vincent looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The man had the same combat strength as him.

He panted heavily.

The man's gaze was dull. It was as if he did not have a soul. When he fought, he was extremely frenzied. He was like an endless tsunami.

The most terrifying thing was that he never got tired, and his defense was extremely strong. Vincent's attacks had no effect on him.

At the start of the battle, Vincent did not even have the strength to defend. As the battle progressed, Vincent was able to achieve a draw result.

The middle-aged man roared and launched another attack. His entire body was like a speeding train. He then crashed into Vincent.

Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and soared into the sky. At the same time, he took out his Purgatory Blade and performed Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Swoosh!

A transparent blade aura that was 80 meters long, 20 meters tall, and five meters thick flew towards the middle-aged man.

Wherever it passed, space would ripple. It was extremely powerful.

In the past, if Vincent wanted to use his Purgatory Blade, he would have to add Hellfire to it.

However, in the present, all he needed to do was mobilize his psionic power. Just using Collapsing Mountain Strike alone was comparable to adding Hellfire on his blade.

It was obvious that he had grown a lot in the past two months.

The middle-aged man did not dodge. He crossed his arms in front of him and his hands transformed into claws. He aimed his claws at Vincent's blade.

The Purgatory Blade hit the man's arms. A metal sound rang out. The middle-aged man immediately used his hands to grab the blade.

Ding!

"Break!" shouted the middle-aged man in a low voice.

The man then pulled his arms behind his back and tore the Purgatory Blade into pieces.

Although this was not the first time such a situation had happened, Vincent still could not accept it.

The level of the Collapsing Mountain Strike may not be very high, but its destructive power still far exceeded the limits of its level.

In terms of power, it was ten times stronger than before. However, even with such power, it was unable to break through the middle-aged man's defense. Instead, Vincent's blade had been destroyed.

So far, the middle-aged man had not used a single combat skill, much less his superpower. He was purely relying on his body strength to fight against Vincent.

On the other hand, other than a few extremely powerful skills that Vincent had yet to use, he had used up all his other skills.

"Flamethrower Barrage!"

"Hellfire Prison!"

"Jump Slash!"

Vincent did not stop attacking. However, his Collapsing Mountain Strike was torn apart by the middle-aged man. He then launched three attacks.

The middle-aged man's pair of meaty palms were like shields. He flapped them left and right and sent Vincent's attacks flying.

The man bent his knees and squatted down. He then jumped up and crashed into Vincent like a missile.

Vincent dodged and twisted the Hellfire Blade in his hand. He attached Hellfire to it and launched Collapsing Mountain Strike again.

However, the Collapsing Mountain Strike this time was different from his previous ones. Vincent had used it five times in a row. There were five streams of his blade aura in the air. They were all gathered together. The surrounding space shattered and he became much faster.

Nevertheless, he still drained half of his psionic power even with his current psionic condensation and recovery speed.

This was Vincent's strongest attack so far.

Even space was shattered by his blade's aura. Its power was evident.

However, the middle-aged man, who was in the air without any use of force, was not injured by Vincent's blade. He was only sent flying by the tremendous force.

When Vincent's blade struck the middle-aged man, it shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. It then disappeared.

The space that was shattered by the blade's aura slowly recovered and finally disappeared.

The middle-aged man landed on the ground and left a huge pit.

The middle-aged man jumped out of the pit in the blink of an eye. Other than his clothes being torn, he was not injured at all.

Vincent was exhausted after a long and intense battle. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢

The Godly King's Posture was healing his body at a rapid speed. However, as everything happened so quickly, Vincent's exhaustion far exceeded his recovery speed.

The middle-aged man continued to attack Vincent. This time, his attack speed was even faster than before.

By the time Vincent sensed danger, the middle-aged man had already appeared in front of him. His fist, like a cannon, slammed against Vincent's chest.

Vincent did not have any time to react. He only felt pain in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood after being embedded in the ceiling.

"What's going on? How was he so fast?" asked Vincent.

Vincent looked at the middle-aged man standing at the edge of the pit. His face was filled with shock.

Vincent then turned to look at the middle-aged man who had attacked him earlier. How could there be two people that looked exactly the same?

The middle-aged man continued to attack. He stepped into the air and produced a sonic boom.

At the same time, the middle-aged man standing at the edge of the pit slowly disappeared.

"It's an afterimage!" said Vincent.

Vincent widened his eyes and wrapped himself in Hellfire.

"World of Hellfire!"

He no longer held back and unleashed Hellfire with all his might.

After taking into consideration the middle-aged man's speed, if Vincent held back, he would definitely be crushed into sand.

World of Hellfire was his most powerful attack. He could not predict what kind of damage and consequences it would cause.

"Eh?"

The man suddenly spoke up. He was clearly very surprised.

"What a powerful, pure, and violent power. Little guy, I did not expect your superpower to be so powerful!" said the man.

Whilst he was speaking, Hellfire had spread over to him and ignited him.

Unlike before, the middle-aged man was actually able to withstand Hellfire. Although his skin had become charred black and there was blood flowing out, he would not be burned to death in a short period of time.

This was the first time Vincent had encountered such a situation after using Hellfire with all his might.

"It's done! Your combat strength has passed the test," said the old man.

Vincent felt an indescribable power sweep through the first layer of his skin.

His Hellfire had been gathered by this power and was transformed into a fireball. It floated in front of Vincent and looked very obedient.

"Hmm? Does it also have the effect of purification? Not bad! Little guy, you really surprised me more and more each time."

Vincent did not pay any attention to him. His eyes were wide open. He stared blankly at the gentle Hellfire flame in front of him.

Too strong! Too terrifying!

He did not even show his true body yet. By just saying one word, a mysterious power from an unknown origin had withdrawn Hellfire.

Vincent, who knew how terrifying Hellfire was, was shocked after seeing the incident unfold before him.

Even the great Sibis used a lot of effort to stop Hellfire when he was trying to prevent it from causing bigger damage.

The man definitely had more strength than Sibis.

The weakest level he could be at was the king-level.

Vincent swallowed hard.

This was actually a test by the king-level powerhouse!

There were only five king-level powerhouses in the world at that moment. Vincent had actually encountered the inheritance of a king-level powerhouse by chance.

Such an opportunity was not something that could be described as heaven-defying luck. It was something that could only be encountered by chance.

Vincent withdrew the Hellfire ball that was in front of him. He walked up to the entrance of the tower. A wooden staircase suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Vincent walked up the stairs.

Chapter 83

Vincent stood on the second floor and stared blankly at the young man in a white robe. He was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the stairs.

There was a chessboard in front of him. The man used his slender fingers to place a silver-white chess piece on the board.

The man then turned to look at Vincent. His gaze was calm, and his smile was gentle.

"You must be the youth that accepted my master's test. Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I am the gatekeeper of this level. Only by defeating me can you continue to advance," said the man.

Vincent nodded and clenched his Purgatory Blade.

The gatekeeper of the first level was already so powerful. The gatekeeper of the second level would definitely be stronger. Vincent could not let down his guard at all.

"Don't be nervous. I don't like to fight and kill. Come and play chess with me," said the man.

The man dressed in white waved at Vincent.

Vincent was stunned. He looked at the man and kept silent.

Play chess?

Why was there even such a test?

Although he did not understand the purpose of playing chess, he did not say much.

He just kept his Purgatory Blade and sat down opposite the man.

The chessboard and chess pieces were made using an unknown material. They seemed very mysterious.

The chessboard was as black as ink. Anyone would be drawn to it at a glance.

The nineteen crisscrossing lines seemed simple, but they gave Vincent an inexplicable sense of power.

The chess pieces were not black and white. Instead, they were silver-white and fiery red in color. There were a total of 360 chess pieces. Every piece had an inexplicable charm.

At that moment, on the chessboard, a silver-white chess piece was sitting quietly at the intersection of the 17th and 3rd lines.

"The chessboard and the chess pieces are a set. They are known as the universe!" said the man softly to Vincent.

"The universe is the chessboard. The stars are the chess pieces! Please!" said the man.

Vincent picked up a fiery-red chess piece and placed it gently on the intersection of the 3rd and 4th lines.

Fortunately, he had learned chess before. Although he was not very good, he was considered one of the strongest amongst his peers.

The third move, silver-white chess piece, 4:16.

The fourth move, fiery red chess piece, 16:17.

The fifth move, silver-white chess piece, 10:10, Tianyuan!

Vincent watched the man play Tianyuan, and his gaze froze.

The man was going to attack.

Vincent naturally did not give his opponent the chance to attack. He played 16:40 and took the lead in attacking.

The man smiled slightly and used 17:40 to neutralize Vincent's attack.

"You're too anxious. Our chess isn't just chess!" said the man.

As he spoke, he raised his hand. Suddenly, the surroundings changed. They seemed to have been transported to outer space. They were in the universe.

Although Vincent knew that it was just an illusion created by the man, he was still shocked.

The surroundings were silent. It was as dark as ink. A few silver-white and fiery-red stars were passing by slowly.

After looking at the positions of the stars, Vincent realized that it was the moves that the two of them had played earlier.

"We have a total of 360 chess pieces. They correspond to 360 stars. For every chess piece that is eaten, one star will disappear."

"There are living things on these stars. In other words, every move you make will determine the life and death of tens of thousands of living things," said the man.

Vincent ignored what the man had said. The changes in the environment could not affect his mind and thoughts.

He picked up the chess piece and placed it in the position of 16:5.

The man smiled at Vincent after seeing him move his chess piece. Suddenly, two cups of coffee appeared in his hands. After handing a cup to Vincent, he took a sip.

"Don't assume that this is all just an illusion. If the illusion becomes reality, can you still calmly decide the life and death of others?" asked the man.

As he spoke, he picked up a silver-white chess piece and placed it in the position of 2:5.

Vincent picked up a chess piece again. When he heard what the man had said, he trembled slightly. He did not move the chess piece in his hand.

The man was right. If this was reality, would he still be able to place the chess pieces so calmly and easily?

Every move would determine the life and death of countless lives. Did he really dare to play a move that would determine the life and death of others?

Vincent stared at the chessboard. He did not make a move for a long time. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

The man did not rush him. He just drank his coffee and waited for Vincent to make a move.

The more he thought about it, the more fear Vincent felt.

The more he thought about it, the more his body trembled.

He could not understand how a situation like that could occur. If something like that actually happened, how would he choose?

He was worried and afraid!

The problem was not groundless. Such a scenario would definitely happen in the future. Just take a look at the relationship between humans and monsters, or even the relationship between the black holes and the ten thousand races.

It was only a matter of time before something like that happened.

When that time comes, what choices would he make?

The more Vincent thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He was trapped in a peculiar circle that he had created. He was unable to extricate himself.

The man just stared at Vincent. Vincent's eyes were red. The man could see Vincent's aura becoming more and more unstable.

Vincent's body started to burn. He was being engulfed by black flames.

The Hellfire was burning Vincent. His flames were fluctuating.

His aura was both strong and weak. It looked as if it could dissipate at any time.

The man just smiled. He did not even have to use any big moves this round. The intensity of his attacks was not weak at all. In fact, it was actually quite strong.

This was because he was attacking a person's heart.

A person's body, superpowers, and combat skills could all become stronger through cultivation. However, cultivation alone could not necessarily strengthen a person's heart.

The affairs of the world were unstable and constantly changing. An unwavering and resolute heart was very important.

Take Vincent for example.

His heart was already very strong. However, that was before he encountered the man in white. When Vincent was faced with a decision that concerned the entire human race, his heart became weak. His heart was not strong enough.

The strength of his heart depended on the type of situation that he was in.

Only after climbing a high mountain and crossing the sea would one have the ability to face everything with a normal heart.

Time passed minute by minute. After a period of time, Vincent's aura stabilized, and his Hellfire became even more vigorous.

Suddenly, the Hellfire was withdrawn back into Vincent's body.

Vincent's gaze also became more determined, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded.

The man's smile was frozen on his face. His eyes were filled with shock.

He had never thought that Vincent would actually be able to understand the concept.

He had crawled out of the strange circle that he had made for himself!

Vincent's right index and middle fingers held the fiery red chess piece. He then moved his arm.

Pa!

The tenth move, 17:14!

The man's face turned pale. He looked at Vincent in shock, doubt, and disbelief.

Vincent smiled faintly. He picked up a chess piece and started to play with it.

"You're right. If this were reality, every move would determine the lives of countless people!"

"But this is only an if! We are just playing a game of chess. It has nothing to do with anything else!"

"Even if someone had to die because of us playing chess, I will still be willing to play as long as we can obtain the final victory!"

"It is indeed unfair to sacrifice a small portion of lives in order for the majority to survive. However, someone has to do it. If no one is willing to do it, then I'll do it!" said Vincent.

Vincent's last sentence was like a loud bell. It showed his determination and confidence.

"Pu!"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood splashed onto the chess pieces and instantly disappeared.

"Hahaha! What a good one, I'll do it! Master! I understand! I understand everything! hahaha!"

The man in white laughed loudly and heartily.

After laughing for more than ten minutes, the man stopped smiling and picked up a silver-white chess piece.

"You're really strong! Master really didn't choose the wrong person! But you must be delusional if you think that you can pass this round of mine so easily!"

Pa!

The eleventh hand, silver-white chess piece, 16 out of 10, star position!

Chapter 84

52nd move, fiery chess piece, 1211!

Vincent made his move on the chessboard. The man's silver-white star suddenly exploded. The illusion of the universe shattered like glass.

"Pu!"

The man in white spat out another mouthful of blood. He looked at the dragon on the chessboard that Vincent had just slain.

"Impossible! How is this possible? How can I lose?" roared the man. He was mad.

Vincent looked at the man in white and shook his head slightly. He stood up and walked towards the stairs that had appeared out of nowhere.

Vincent stepped onto the stairs using his left foot. Before he continued climbing the stairs, he turned around and said to the man, "Your chess skills surpass mine greatly. However, you are too utilitarian. If you had let go of my seven out of five hands earlier, I would have lost."

"You didn't lose to me, you lost to yourself!" said Vincent.

Vincent then walked to the third floor.

"Vincent! Save me!"

Vincent reached the third floor. Before he even had the chance to see his surroundings clearly, he heard Angelina's voice.

He followed the voice and saw Angelina tied to a pillar. Her body was covered in wounds.

Chris, Avril, Nabil, Swire, Teacher Chris, and Sibis were all there. They were all tied up like Angelina.

"Everyone! What happened to everyone? What happened to everyone…"

Vincent's eyes widened. He was speechless.

He had never expected to meet everyone here. There were the most important people in his life.

"Hahaha! Little guy, don't be surprised. Congratulations on passing the first two rounds! In order to reward you for your hard work, I had specially invited your friends over so that you can catch up on old times," said the voice.

The voice woke Vincent up. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Vincent turned cold. He then said in a deep voice, "This is how you invited them over?"

"Why? Don't you like it? That's such a pity," said the voice in a regretful tone.

"Shadow attendants, kill them," said the voice.

Suddenly, seven pitch-black shadows appeared in front of them. They were holding large machetes in their hands. They raised them high and were about to smash down on Angelina and the others.

"Stop!" yelled Vincent.

Vincent was furious. He rushed out whilst raising his hand. Seven Hellfire Prisons trapped the seven shadows.

"You little brat, I thought you didn't like it? Why did you save them?" asked the voice.

The voice was confused.

Vincent did not answer. He pulled out his Purgatory Blade and performed Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Collapsing Mountain Strike split the seven shadow attendants into two.

"What exactly do you want to do with them?" asked Vincent angrily.

Vincent used Hellfire to protect Angelina and the others.

"What? Do you want to fight me? Do you think you're my enemy?" asked the voice.

The voice's tone was becoming unpleasant.

"I won't know until I fight you. You're very strong, but that doesn't mean I'll be at your mercy!"

Vincent used up all of his upgrade pills in his backpack.

His level rose from intermediate-level to high-level in an instant.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to hide your strength," said the voice.

The old voice was surprised by Vincent's sudden increase in level.

"World of Hellfire!"

Vincent roared and released Hellfire with all his strength. He controlled it and formed a pillar of fire that shot up into the sky. It headed straight up.

"I told you, it's useless," said the voice.

The pillar of Hellfire that was rising rapidly stopped immediately. It did not move at all no matter what Vincent did.

Suddenly, Vincent felt a powerful force attacking him. Before he could even react, his entire body had been sent flying.

Vincent's body was covered in blood, and he was breathing heavily.

Vincent's Hellfire had been lifted into the air by an unknown force and was turned into a fireball. The same thing happened on the first level.

"Vincent! Save me!"

Angelina and the others turned a blind eye to Vincent's serious injuries. All of them were calling on him to save them.

Even the overlord-level Sibis did the same.

"Little guy, I've seen you in a new light. I'll give you a chance," said the voice in a playful tone.

"Out of the seven of them, you can only let four of them go. The remaining three will be killed by me."

"I will only give you one minute. Make your choice!"

"If you don't make your choice within that time, they will all die."

The voice sounded gloomy and conclusive.

Although Vincent was seriously injured, his five senses were still very clear.

As for the choices he had to make, Vincent had no doubt that he would definitely make it.

Vincent was in a dilemma after seeing the seven of them tied to pillars.

These seven people were all very important to him. He could not let go of them easily.

He was full of anger. His heart was also anxious and conflicted.

He wanted to save everyone, but the voice was too strong. The voice was so strong that he could kill him by just saying one word.

"System! System! Come quickly! Is there any way to save everyone?"

Vincent could not think of any other way. His only hope was the mysterious and omnipotent system.

However, the system ignored him completely. It was not ready as usual.

His last hope had been destroyed. Vincent closed his eyes in despair.

Time passed by. One minute passed in the blink of an eye.

"You still have ten seconds! Hurry up and make your choice. If you can live, then so be it."

The voice sounded cheeky.

Suddenly, Vincent's anxious heart calmed down.

People would die no matter what choice he made. What was the point of making such a decision?

"Vincent! Save me!"

The seven of them were still calling out to Vincent. Their voices were filled with more panic than before.

Vincent's eyes suddenly lit up. He had grasped the key. He would have never been able to grasp it if he was still in an angry state.

It was impossible for Sibis to be captured! Even if he was captured, it was impossible for him to act so cowardly.

It was even more impossible for Chris to ask for help!

"Time's up! Little guy, you did not make your choice. I'm sorry, they all have to die. You will have to bear the responsibility for their deaths," said the voice regretfully.

"Senior, do it! I believe in your strength. You will definitely not bring them any pain," said Vincent in a relaxed tone.

Vincent struggled to sit up. He leaned against the wall instead.

"Hmm?"

The voice was stunned.

"Senior, if I'm not wrong, they are all just simulations created by you, right?" asked Vincent as he revealed a victorious smile.

"You simulated them by reading my mind. They aren't real."

"Ever since I came to the third level, you have been provoking me. In fact, you have done it."

"Everything was going according to your expectations. If not for the fact that I had given up struggling helplessly just now and managed to calm my mind by chance, I would have fallen into your trap."

"I guess this is the third level test!" said Vincent.

Vincent was full of confidence. In just a short period of time, he had managed to deduce all the possibilities in his mind. This was the most reasonable and best explanation for all of this.

The voice did not speak. Suddenly, everything fell silent on the third floor.

Angelina and the others had also stopped shouting for Vincent.

After five minutes, the voice started to speak again.

"Hahahaha! Little guy! I really like you more and more!" said the voice.

"You guessed right! They are not real, and this is indeed the third level test!"

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test!" said the voice.

Angelina and the others who were tied up to the pillars had disappeared.

Vincent withdrew Hellfire into his body once again. His injured body also recovered.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Vincent stood up and bowed slightly. He then turned around and started walking to the fourth floor.

Chapter 85

There was nothing on the fourth floor except for an empty hall.

Vincent stood in the middle of the hall and looked around with a blank expression.

This was very different from the previous three levels.

"Senior, what is the test for this level?" asked Vincent.

Vincent waited for ten minutes, but no one appeared.

He called out for the voice, but the voice did not answer him.

The surroundings were silent. There was nothing around. Vincent was all alone.

It was terrifyingly quiet.

Vincent could hear his own heartbeat in the extreme silence.

As time passed, Vincent knew that no one was going to come. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

After an uncertain amount of time, Vincent suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart. He quickly stopped his cultivation and raised his hand. He used a Fire Net to shield himself.

Boom!

The Fire Net shattered but there was no enemy in front of him.

Vincent frowned. What exactly was this test?

Vincent did not have the chance to think any further.

Suddenly, he was attacked by an invisible force again. Vincent dodged it quickly. However, due to the high speed of the attack, Vincent could not dodge it completely.

His left leg was hit and suffered lacerations that were bone-deep.

His Godly King's Posture started to heal him.

At the same time, Vincent was attacked by the invisible force again. This time the attacks were much faster and occurred in short intervals.

Vincent was covered in injuries. Although his Godly King's Posture was working, the speed of the invisible force had far surpassed his recovery speed.

"Is this test aimed at me to take beatings passively?"

Vincent pondered in his heart whilst dodging the attacks.

That was obviously impossible. The voice had chosen a successor. It was impossible for him to create an unsolvable test.

Over time, Vincent discovered a pattern.

All the attacks came from the front. Although the speed of the attacks was getting faster and the intervals were getting shorter, it was not impossible to dodge them because he knew where the attacks were coming from.

However, Vincent's body was unable to keep up with his thoughts.

"Why does every attack come from the front?"

That was the question that was lingering in Vincent's mind. He had a vague feeling that he could pass this level if he could figure out why every attack came from the front.

However, there was nothing around him on the fourth level. The invisible attacks seemed to have appeared out of thin air. It was really strange.

Just as he dodged two invisible attacks in a row, the voice started to speak again.

"Little guy, I didn't expect you to find the pattern so quickly. Under such a dense attack, you can still dodge it completely. Not bad!"

"Then let's begin the official test of the fourth level!" said the voice.

What kind of game is this?

The dense invisible attack was not an official assessment?

Vincent swallowed his saliva. This test would probably be even harder than the previous three tests combined!

The voice stopped speaking. Suddenly, more than ten black figures appeared. Vincent was in the center. They formed a circle with a radius of 20 meters around him.

"The first question is a math question. God's sacred mountain has a total of 34,567,899 sacred trees. Once the sacred trees are chopped down, they can recover in a day. Poseidon drank wine on the sacred mountain for three consecutive days and chopped down half of the existing sacred trees every half a day. How many sacred trees did Poseidon chop down in three days?" asked one of the black shadows.

Vincent was still dodging the invisible attacks while he tried to do the calculations in his head.

In the end, he realized that this was a question that he could never answer accurately.

"The examinee only has 10 seconds to answer," said the black shadow.

"Mountain full of divine trees!" answered Vincent.

"Correct answer."

The black shadow confirmed Vincent's answer and suddenly exploded with a loud bang. At the same time, the speed of the invisible attacks doubled.

"The second question is a literary question. A hundred years ago, the overlord of the human race, Ke Chagin, awakened the power of speech. He fought against five overlord-class monsters by himself. What was the name of the book that Ke Chagin wrote? Please recite the full text," asked another black shadow.

Vincent was delighted. The question was not difficult. He had memorized it skilfully when he was still in Ellis Intermediate School.

"Beast Slayer, Ke Chagin…"

Vincent recited the full text in less than five minutes.

"Correct."

The second black shadow also exploded with a loud bang. The speed of the invisible attack doubled.

"The third question is a chemistry question…"

The black shadows all questioned Vincent one after another. Although Vincent was distracted, he still dealt with them easily. However, every time he answered a question correctly, the invisible attack would double in speed. Vincent did not even have a chance to catch his breath.

Fortunately, he had grasped the frequency and characteristics of the invisible attacks. The injuries on his body had also recovered.

A few hours had passed. Vincent was flying up and down on the fourth floor. He could not stop at all.

In order to dodge the invisible attacks, he had to rely on his superpowers and combat skills.

He only had two questions left.

The previous eight questions were tailored around various subjects and fields. They could be said to be all-encompassing.

If it was not for Vincent's extensive knowledge and strong memory skills, he probably would not have been able to fight.

"The ninth question is a common-sense question. How many hairs does a person have? How many eyebrows? How many eyelashes? How many hairs?"

Vincent, who was dodging the invisible attacks, paused for a moment. He was then sent flying by the invisible attack.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to dodge it by a little bit. Otherwise, the attack would have sliced him into two.

He had never thought that such a question would be regarded as a common-sense question.

"Every person has five million pieces of hair, of which 100,000 hair, 5,000 eyebrows, 150 to 255 lashes, and 4.5 million hairs."

Vincent recalled a book on the secrets of the human body that he had read unintentionally. It was full of boring and cold knowledge about the human body.

It was originally meant to be relaxing reading material. He did not expect that the information could be used during such a crucial moment.

"Correct."

The black shadow exploded. There was only one black shadow left. If he answered this question correctly, Vincent would pass the fourth level test.

"Question ten is a logical reasoning question. 1, 2, 6, 24, 130, 780, (). What number should come after that?"

What?

This was a logical reasoning question?

Isn't this clearly a math question?

Vincent did not understand. He reflected on the previous nine questions and realized that there were no errors in the type of questions they had given him. This question should not have any problems either.

Vincent dodged the invisible attacks while calculating the answer in his mind.

Logical reasoning question, what was the logical relationship between these few numbers?

* 1 + 1 = 2

* 2 + 2 = 6

* 3 + 6 = 24

…

Vincent clearly knew the logic at a glance, but what was the reasoning behind it?

Based on logic, the next number should be 5460. However, if it was so simple, then it would not be a logical reasoning question at all.

Vincent frowned slightly. He could not understand it no matter how hard he tried.

At the same time, the black shadow began the countdown. Every second felt like a countdown to the end of Vincent's life.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Vincent could not understand it and just blurted out, "5,460!"

He did not expect to get the answer right. It was the only answer he could think of so far.

He was surprised when the black shadow told him that his answer was correct.

Bang!

The last black shadow exploded, and the invisible attacks disappeared.

"Little guy, congratulations on passing all the tests. Come up!"

The voice sounded kind.

Vincent did not react. How could his answer be correct?

The voice could see through Vincent's confusion. He smiled and explained, "Sometimes, we are limited by our own inherent thinking. We think that if we didn't make a mistake before, we won't make a mistake now. However, we never actually think that the mistake was actually us all along."

"Being able to break through your fixed mindset will be very beneficial to you in the future!"

Vincent revealed a look of realization after listening to the voice.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"

After expressing his gratitude, Vincent walked to the stairs and headed to the fifth floor.

Chapter 86

On the fifth level, rainbow-colored light shone onto Vincent. He looked around. It was as if he was in a fairyland.

The air was filled with a strong psionic aura. Vincent could feel the aura entering his body when he breathed.

The fifth level was different from the previous four levels. Not only was the space much bigger, but the layout was also very exquisite.

There were twelve silver-white pillars built evenly. There was also a rainbow-colored light that flashed on them from time to time.

In the middle of the twelve pillars lay a huge hexagram that was emitting a rainbow-colored light. Purple mist rose from it. One could vaguely see a transparent crystal coffin in the mist.

However, for some reason, Vincent could not see what was inside the crystal coffin.

The crystal coffin was five meters long and two meters wide. Countless precious ores and treasures were studded on the coffin. This included the monster's crystal cores.

Judging by the monster's crystal cores aura, there was not a single monster that was lower than overlord-level.

There were even three monsters that were stronger than the overlord-level!

"King Level Monster Cores!"

Vincent muttered to himself.

Shua!

The purple mist suddenly retracted and transformed into a middle-aged man.

However, the middle-aged man only had his upper body. The lower half of his body was a ball of purple fog that was connected to the crystal coffin.

The middle-aged man looked at Vincent with satisfaction.

"Little guy, we finally met," said the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's voice was exactly the same as the voice that Vincent had heard in the previous levels.

Vincent quickly bowed.

"Senior!"

"Sit."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a chair appeared behind Vincent.

"Little guy, how do you feel so far?" asked the middle-aged man whilst smiling.

Vincent recalled everything that had happened since he stepped onto the Will Stone Stairs.

He then nodded slightly.

"I gained a lot, and I also understand the purpose of every test," said Vincent.

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Little guy, your talent is the best amongst everyone I know. I'm very happy to be able to make you my successor," said the man.

"Senior, you flatter me," said Vincent humbly.

The middle-aged man's tests seemed quite difficult at first. However, after careful analysis, Vincent realized that it was not actually as difficult as he thought it was.

The Will Stone Stairs tested willpower.

The first level tested courage.

The second level tested the state of mind.

The third level tested decision-making and state of mind.

The fourth level tested the thought process.

After considering everything, Vincent realized that these attributes were extremely essential to a powerful person.

At the same time, the middle-aged man was also using these tests to help Vincent strengthen his confidence.

The middle-aged man looked at Vincent's calm expression and nodded in satisfaction.

"Inherit my legacy. But first, you will need to know what kind of power you are about to receive."

"I am the common enemy of humanity. Although there is a reason for this, I am not worthy of being forgiven."

"Even after a hundred years, my power is still a taboo. Therefore, you will need to think very carefully on whether or not you should accept my power."

"My power mainly manifests in three aspects: superpowers, combat skills, and Black Hole power."

"You should be very clear about my superpowers and combat skills, so I won't say much about them."

"Black Hole power, this is the taboo power. It's the power that I have stolen from the Black Hole when the human race was going through a difficult time. It's extremely evil. When I use it at full power, even I can't completely control it."

"There was one incident where the Monster Horde attacked the Forest Capital. I defended the city alone and killed three king-level monsters, fifteen overlord-level monsters, and countless monsters below the lord-level."

"All the humans in the Forest Capital died alongside them…"

It was obvious that the middle-aged man was blaming himself.

"Little guy, do you know about the 10,000 races of the Black Hole?"

Vincent looked at the middle-aged man. After a full three minutes, Vincent finally nodded.

"I didn't expect you to know about the 10,000 races of the Black Hole at such a young age! It seems like you are indeed one of the top human beings out there."

The middle-aged man was stunned. He then looked at Vincent with even more fondness.

"My power comes from the 10,000 races of the Black Hole…"

"Back then, one of the 10,000 races of the Black Hole, the Night Fox Clan, suddenly appeared in the Forest Capital. The weakest among them was at least a lord-class powerhouse. Due to the sudden attack, humans did not have the time to prepare a defense. Plus, there was also a huge difference in strength. The Forest Capital almost collapsed."

"At that time, I was the Mayor of the Forest Capital. I have overlord-class strength. I led the exploration team to fight against the Night Fox Clan. Although I defeated the Night Fox Clan in the end, the exploration team did not survive, and I too was heavily injured."

"From that moment on, I knew that humans might still have the strength to fight against monsters. However, they did not stand a chance against the 10,000 races of the Black Hole."

"Humans need more strength and a faster way to grow."

"I then thought of the power of the Black Hole!"

"The power of the Black Hole is extremely overbearing and destructive. It is not a power that humans can withstand. It was only natural for humans to not allow anyone to touch such power."

"In order to achieve my final goal, I started on a secret experiment to extract the power of the Black Hole from the bodies of the Night Fox Clan. After twenty years of research, I finally grasped it. However, this cost the lives of tens of thousands of people."

"The power of the Black Hole made me lose my mind. I began to yearn for stronger power, so I went through the Black Hole alone and started killing the 10,000 races of the Black Hole. I then absorbed the power of the Black Hole from their bodies."

"During that time, I broke through the conspiracy of the 10,000 races of the Black Hole and was hunted down. At the same time, the Jungle Capital welcomed the largest Monster Horde in history!"

"It was not easy for me to get rid of the 10,000 races of the Black Hole and return to Jungle Capital. However, the Jungle Capital was about to collapse. I had no choice but to drag my injured body into battle."

"I slowly stabilized myself and began to launch a counterattack against the Monster Horde. However, as I had absorbed too much power from the Black Hole, my power was not pure. It was very complicated, and I did not have full control over it. At the same time, I was also besieged by three king-level monsters. I was in a very dangerous situation."

"During that time, I thought that even if I died, I would still drag the three king-level monsters down with me. I wanted to self-destruct."

"However, the power of the Black Hole did not allow me to completely self-destruct. It erupted from my body and devoured the souls of all the human beings in Jungle Capital. It also took the souls of the three king-level monsters."

"After the Monster Horde, I was constantly being judged by the human race. They wanted to kill me for using the power of the Black Hole and causing the deaths of countless people in the Jungle Capital."

"However, during that time, I was being controlled by the power of the Black Hole. I killed the guards and escaped."

"In addition to my injuries that had not been treated, coupled with the erosion of the power of the Black Hole, I was at the end of my rope. Before I could escape the defensive mountain range, I died."

"Before I died, I used the last of my strength to kill an overlord-level monster. I used its fur to create a paradise and was waiting for the right person to come by."

"Over the years, there were a total of eighteen people that had come by, but the best they could do was the third level. Most of them had died on the Will Stone Stairs."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and looked at Vincent with a serious gaze.

"So, have you decided? Do you want to accept all of my inheritance?"

Vincent could tell from the middle-aged man's expression that the Black Hole's power was extremely terrifying. It was impossible for him not to be moved by such a powerful force.

However, he did not want to become like the middle aged man because of this power. 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝒐𝓶

Plus, with the help of the system, it was only a matter of time before he became as powerful as the middle-aged man. He might be even stronger than the middle-aged man.

"Senior, may I ask, what exactly do you mean by the power of Black Hole?"

Vincent decided to ask more questions in order to have a clearer idea.

"The power of Black Hole is ever-changing. It is different for each race."

"The power that I have is called Soul Devouring. If used correctly, not only can I devour souls to strengthen myself, but I can also enslave souls."

"Soul devouring? Enslave souls?"

Vincent's eyes widened in shock.

He had never imagined the world to have such a terrifying and abnormal power.

"My superpower is S-Class elemental Purgatory Purification. It has the ability to purify everything, especially souls. If I wanted to, I could convince a person to die unknowingly."

"My superpower is very compatible with the power of the Black Hole. This is also the main reason why I was not discovered when I was researching the power of the Black Hole."

The middle-aged man continued explaining to Vincent.

"The power of the Black Hole is a taboo for humans. If you choose to inherit it, then you must be prepared to become the public enemy of humanity."

"When the time comes, the 10,000 races of the Black Hole will also come after you. Humanity will also come after you. There will be no place for you on Earth. You will need to hide your identity for the rest of your life and become a loner."

The middle-aged man then stopped talking and waited quietly for Vincent's answer.

Chapter 87

Vincent frowned and pondered. The power of the Black Hole was extremely compatible with his superpower. If they were both used at the same time, it would definitely increase his control over monsters greatly.

However, the power was too terrifying. Even with the middle-aged man's strength, he had to use his life as payment in order to cultivate the power. What ability did Vincent have to control it?

After an uncertain period of time, Vincent suddenly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Senior, I choose to inherit all of your abilities!"

Vincent's tone was firm.

"There are some things that need to be done. If no one is willing to do it then I'm willing to do it for the sake of humanity!" said Vincent.

The middle-aged man stared into Vincent's eyes and asked him in a deep voice, "Even if it means becoming the common enemy of humanity?"

Vincent nodded.

The middle-aged man continued to ask Vincent.

"Is it worth it? You have done so much, but in the end, you have to be judged by the people that you protect. They will not care about the protection that you offer. They will only know that you have used a forbidden power!"

"It's worth it! Sacrificing a small number of people in exchange for the final victory. I don't think there's anything wrong with that!" said Vincent firmly.

"Similarly, sacrificing me alone can be exchanged for victory during a war. I don't think there's anything wrong with that either!" said Vincent.

The middle-aged man looked at Vincent. He did not say anything. After more than ten minutes, he let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! I really didn't choose the wrong person! You're the successor that I've been waiting for!"

"Little guy, accept my power!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he waved his right hand. Gray gas flew out and slowly condensed in the air. The gas transformed into a small gray ball that was the size of a soybean.

"This is my Purgatory Purification superpower. Although it won't be as easy as your own superpower, it's still equivalent to an A-Class superpower." 𝓁𝒾𝘣𝑟𝑒𝘢𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

The middle-aged man flicked his finger, and the small gray ball flew directly into Vincent's glabella.

"Extracting abilities and bestowing them onto others. This is also one of the abilities that the Black Hole's power has given me."

Vincent felt his glabella light up. He could feel a powerful force flowing from his glabella to his limbs and bones.

He closed his eyes quickly and carefully sensed the flow of the powerful force.

'Ding! S-Class elemental ability detected, Purgatory Purification, is it a perfect absorption?'

The system's notification sounded in Vincent's mind.

"Yes!"

'Ding! Absorbing, please wait…'

'Ding! Absorption complete! Congratulations host for obtaining S-Class elemental ability, Purgatory Purification!'

'Ding! 99% similarity detected, 'Hellfire', 'Purgatory Purification'. Do you wish to fuse them?'

Huh? It seemed like he could merge the two superpowers.

Vincent was stunned. He did not understand.

Firstly, there were no superpower fusion gems in his backpack. Secondly, Hellfire was an S + class superpower. The two superpowers of different levels could be merged without any superpower fusion gems!

This obviously had something to do with the similarity the system had mentioned.

"System, what is the similarity?" asked Vincent in his mind.

"Similarity: the superpowers have the same level, 95% of the same level can be fused, regardless of the superpower's level limit."

Vincent suddenly understood. This was it!

He chose to fuse them immediately.

"Ding! 'S + Class elemental ability Hellfire', 'S-Class elemental ability Purgatory Purification' is fusing, please wait…"

"Ding! The fusion of superpowers is complete! Congratulations host for obtaining an X-Class elemental superpower, World Cleansing Fire!"

"World Cleansing Fire: X-Class elemental ability. It possesses flames that can purify everything."

That was it?

Vincent was dumbfounded. World Cleansing Fire had such a short introduction.

"System, what do you mean by purifying everything?"

"Everything that the host can think of."

Holy sh*t!

So terrifying?

Vincent almost jumped up from his chair.

Everything that he could think of was within the purification range. Does this mean that all defenses would no longer work on him from this moment on?

Vincent swallowed his saliva hard.

The terror of the World Cleansing Fire made him speechless.

Vincent slowly opened his eyes again and looked at the middle-aged man.

His one glance actually made the middle-aged man tremble from the depths of his soul.

Vincent's flame-shaped pupils also had a noble gray color in the middle.

"Little guy, it seems like the absorption of Purgatory Purification is much higher than I imagined."

The middle-aged man did not know about the system's existence. He just thought that Vincent's absorption of Purgatory's Purification seemed more complete than usual.

Vincent smiled slightly and did not explain further.

The middle-aged man waved his hand again, and jet-black gas flew outwards. It was also compressed into a small black ball that was the size of a soybean. It then bounced towards Vincent's glabella.

The small black ball entered Vincent's glabella. Vincent closed his eyes again.

"Ding! Unknown energy detected. Analyzing, please wait…"

"Ding! Analysis completed!"

"Spirit-Binding Commander (incomplete): possesses the ability to bind and enslave souls."

"Ding! 97% similarity detected. 'Spirit-Binding Commander (incomplete)', 'S-Class superpower Monster Affinity'. Do you wish to fuse them?"

The two superpowers could be fused?

Vincent's view of the world had been shattered.

The powerful ability that he yearned for had unexpectedly been completed in such a short period of time.

"Fuse!"

Vincent said to the system in his mind.

"Ding! 'Spirit-Binding Commander (incomplete)' and 'S-Class superpower Monster Affinity' are fusing. Please wait…"

"Ding! Fusion complete! Congratulations to the host for awakening an X-Class superpower, Transformation Skill!"

"Transformation Skill: X-Class superpower. Using the target's blood, the host can transform into other forms and possess corresponding abilities."

Although Vincent was shocked, after everything that had happened, he could only accept the power of the Transformation Skill.

When he opened his eyes again, Vincent discovered that the middle-aged man's figure had faded. The man's expression had also become a little dispirited.

"Senior, what's wrong?" asked Vincent, full of worry.

The middle-aged man waved his hand. He was trying to let Vincent know that there was nothing wrong.

This time, a memory crystal flew out from the crystal coffin instead. It was no longer gas.

"This memory crystal is what I've learned throughout my life. Go back and slowly comprehend it."

Vincent took the memory crystal with both hands and expressed his gratitude to the middle-aged man again. At the same time, the system also notified him that he could learn combat skills. Vincent rejected the system to learn the combat skills at that moment.

The middle-aged man's figure had faded even more. The tone of his voice became much weaker.

"Little guy, the future of humanity depends on you. I hope you can stay true to yourself and that you don't disappoint me."

"Senior, don't worry, I will not let your superpowers and combat skills sit in the dust!"

"Hahaha! Good!"

The middle-aged man's figure was becoming more and more transparent. He was vanishing.

"Little guy, my soul is about to disappear. I don't have the status of master and disciple with you. Before we part, can you call me master?"

Vincent stood up with a solemn face and bowed deeply to the middle-aged man.

With an extremely sincere tone, Vincent called out to the man, "Master!"

"Good! Good! This is the most accomplished I've been. I, Ixus, have not mastered the power of the black hole. However, I have managed to meet a genius like you and have taken you on as my disciple! Hahaha! I have no regrets about death!"

"Born an ordinary person, yet you do extraordinary things. The sky is nine thousand miles high. I will go at my leisure!"

"Little guy, we will have no…"

Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, his figure had disappeared completely.

At the same time, Vincent's surroundings started to crack. It then shattered with a bang.

Vincent felt a white light flash before his eyes. When he could see his surroundings again, he found himself standing on the peak of the defensive mountain range.

The cold wind blew, and Vincent started to cry. He knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Teacher, you have a good journey."

Chapter 88

Vincent did not stay sad for long. He stood up and walked down the defensive mountain range.

He had not forgotten that he had accepted ten missions from the Special Forces. So far, he had only completed one mission.

As he walked down the mountain, Vincent took out the memory crystal that the middle-aged man had given him. The system's notification sounded once again.

"Ding! Combat skills that are available to learn have been detected. Host, do you wish to learn?"

"Learn."

"Ding! Learning, please wait…"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for learning the S-Class combat skill, Sky Splitter! S-Class combat skill, Godly Hundred Revolutions! S-Class combat skill, Heavenly Defense!"

"Sky Splitter: S-Class combat skill. Attacks that slash through skies."

"Godly Hundred Revolutions: S-Class combat skill. It will explode instantly and be twice the usual speed. It is a huge burden on one's body. Use with caution."

"Heavenly Defense: S-Class combat skill. The user gains absolute defense through rapid rotation. The top area is the weak spot."

"Ding! Combat skills have been included in Mimicry. The host has completely mastered them."

"Ding! Mimicry has been upgraded to an A-Class combat skill."

Vincent's three S-Class combat skills seemed very common when compared to the Purgatory Purification and Black Hole Power. Although Vincent was listening to the system's explanation of the combat skills, he did not pay much attention to them.

Nevertheless, he still opened his character panel to check his attributes.

Vincent looked at the character panel that had changed drastically and revealed a smile.

He was most happy about the Black Hole myriad races atlas. This was because he had received another piece of information. Although he did not know how many more pieces of information there were in total, he was still very satisfied with his progress.

Vincent finally reached the foot of the defensive mountain range. He then started to look for his target based on his mission card.

The most difficult mission, the Undying Crow Egg, had been completed. The other missions were relatively less difficult.

On the first day after leaving the defensive mountain range, Vincent found a high-level monster, the Magnetic Crocodile. He killed it easily with a landslide.

Ten Special Forces missions, progress 2/10.

On the third day after leaving the defensive mountain range, Vincent found high-level ore and black gold sand.

Ten Special Forces missions, progress 3/10.

…

On the fifteenth day after leaving the defensive mountain range, Vincent found the lost staff of life.

Ten Special Forces missions, progress 10/10.

After completing all the missions, Vincent was prepared to return to Hero City.

At the same time, he discovered many people gathering at the defensive mountain range. It looked as if there was going to be another Monster Horde.

Vincent thought that he had only been away for about a month.

He spread his World Cleansing Flaming Wings and flew towards Hero City.

His upgraded Flaming Wings were five times faster than before. Everything on the ground flashed past his eyes in an instant.

After ten minutes, Vincent landed on the ground and walked towards the city gate of Hero City.

"Look! It's Vincent!"

"Charge! Bring him to the Mission Hall, you can get an A-Class psionic equipment!"

"We found Vincent first! You're not allowed to fight with me!"

"Bullsh*t! I clearly saw him first! Don't force me to fight you!"

"F*ck! Do you actually want to fight? Brothers, Charge!"

…

Vincent saw several groups of people rushing towards him. He was instantly alerted. They then started fighting. Vincent was confused.

What was going on?

Why were they fighting over him?

It did not make sense!

He was only gone for less than a month.

What exactly happened in Hero City?

Vincent walked into Hero City confused.

The other people who were fighting all stopped. They looked at each other and scrambled to chase after Vincent.

Vincent did not pay much attention to them. However, he did not expect more and more people to gather around him along the way. Many of them looked at him in excitement. This made Vincent even more confused.

When he arrived at the Mission Hall, Vincent looked at the group of people that were standing by the door. He was stunned.

Why did he alarm so many people?

Sibis, Teacher Chris, Angelina, Avril, Chris, Nabil, Swire, Johnny…

People who he knew and did not know were all there.

Sibis heaved a sigh of relief.

"Vincent!"

"Vincent!"

Teacher Chris and Angelina threw themselves into Vincent's arms and hugged him tightly. They wept and refused to let go.

Angelina, in particular, was hanging onto Vincent like a koala bear.

Avril took a few steps forward, but she stopped herself. Her face was calm, but her beautiful eyes were filled with joy.

Vincent was a little embarrassed. He looked to Sibis for help.

Sibis stared at Vincent angrily, but he still stepped forward to help Vincent out.

"You two are done! Vincent is back, we'll talk about it when we get back. What are you thinking? In public?"

Teacher Chris knew that she had lost her composure. She stood up awkwardly and rolled her eyes at Vincent flirtatiously. There were tears on her eyelashes which made her look extremely flirtatious. It made Vincent lose his focus for a moment.

Angelina did not care. She just continued to hug Vincent tightly.

Vincent was helpless. He could only pat Angelina's head. He then said softly, "Alright! I'm back. Let me go first. At least tell me what happened!"

Angelina heard what Vincent said and let go of his body reluctantly. However, she was still holding onto Vincent's arm tightly. She refused to let him go.

The people behind Vincent started to yell for Sibis's attention.

"General Sibis! We found Vincent!"

"General Sibis! Don't listen to their nonsense. We were the ones who found Vincent first!"

"Go away! Can you even see Vincent with those eyes of yours? Principal Sibis! It's me! I'm the one who brought Vincent back!"

…

Everyone else said the same thing. Vincent was confused, but he could roughly guess what was going on.

Sibis glared at Vincent again and said in a clear and loud voice, "Everyone! Although I don't know which one of you found Vincent, everyone has contributed during this period of time. Each of you will get an A-Class psionic equipment!"

"How about this? Everyone that is present today will receive A-Class psionic equipment. In addition, to express my gratitude to everyone, each of you will be rewarded with 100,000 psionic coins!"

Vincent was shocked by Sibis's generosity. There were at least 50,000 people present. That was 50,000 A-Class psionic equipment and 500 million psionic coins!

Although the people behind Vincent were not very satisfied with the reward, they knew that there was nothing that they could do about it.

After all, there was no way to verify who was the first to see Vincent, so they could only agree.

Sibis arranged for Johnny to distribute the rewards to everyone. He turned his head and looked at Vincent with a gloomy face.

"Follow me!" he said.

Sibis then pulled his hands in front of him, and a temporary dimensional portal appeared in front of them.

"Teacher! Wait! Let me hand in the missions first," said Vincent.

Vincent took Angelina and ran into the Mission Hall. He handed in all ten missions at once.

The members of the Special Forces all widened their eyes after they saw Vincent handing in the completed missions.

Back then, they all thought that Vincent was just trying to act cool by taking on ten missions. They were all waiting to see Vincent make a fool of himself. They did not expect Vincent, who had gone missing for nearly four months, to complete the ten missions and return safely.

The ten missions had been hanging in the Mission Hall for at least half a year. Yet, they were completed by Vincent in just four months!

This was an ability that no one in the Special Forces possessed.

From that moment on, they were completely convinced that Vincent was indeed a Squadron Leader that had descended from the sky.

After submitting the missions, Vincent brought Angelina back to Sibis.

Sibis did not say anything. He was the first to step into the temporary dimensional portal.

The others also walked in one after another. When they passed Vincent, they each gave him a meaningful look.

When Swire walked past, Vincent pulled him back.

"Swire, long time no see! How are the preparations for the freshmen tournament going?" asked Vincent.

When Swire heard what Vincent had said, he looked at him like he was looking at a monster. When he saw Vincent's sincere expression, he felt awkward.

"Two months have passed since the freshmen tournament…"

"What? Two months?"

Vincent's eyes widened in shock.

Two months? 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

That's not right!

The freshmen tournament was supposed to happen one month after school had started at Quinn. When Vincent left Hero City, classes had not even started yet.

If that was the case, then it would have been nearly four months since he left Hero City!

It only took him 16 days to complete the missions. That meant that he had stayed in the Utopia Fantasy Land for more than three months!

Vincent finally understood why everyone was so excited to see him.

"Good luck, brother. It seems like Principal Sibis is really angry," said Swire.

Swire tapped Vincent on the shoulder with some schadenfreude and walked into the temporary teleportation portal.

Vincent rubbed his forehead and looked up into the sky.

"Master, you've really screwed me up!"

Chapter 89

In the principal's office, Sibis sat behind his desk, while the others stood in silence.

"Vincent, where have you been these past four months? How could you have vanished without a trace?" asked Sibis.

Sibis stared straight into Vincent's eyes like two sharp lasers.

Vincent smiled bitterly. His mind was racing.

"Teacher, I had no idea that it had been four months. In my mind, only 20 days had passed."

"When I found the Undying Crow egg, I also found a box. After opening the box, I entered a strange place. The place had always been bright and sunny. I had no idea how much time had passed. I had to put in a lot of effort to escape," said Vincent.

Vincent told half-truths about what happened in the paradise illusion in order to not arouse suspicion.

Sibis frowned after hearing what Vincent said. It was the first time he had heard of such a place.

Although he had many doubts, it was clear that since the appearance of the Black Holes, the entire world had been in chaos. There were a lot of things that could not be explained.

"Since you feel fine, then go back and rest. I have chosen the members of the first team. They are everyone who is present right now."

"The second team is currently undergoing special training. When the special training is over, they will come and pick you up. You can set off tomorrow," said Sibis.

Everyone knew who the candidates for the first team were. When they heard what Sibis said, they all nodded in agreement.

Vincent, on the other hand, did not expect to know everyone on the first team.

"I'll repeat it once more. Your mission is very dangerous. You can lose your lives at any time. If you want to withdraw, please voice out now. Once you leave Blazing City, you won't have the chance to back out anymore," said Sibis.

Sibis looked at everyone. He nodded in satisfaction when no one refused.

"Alright, everyone can head back now. Vincent, stay behind. I still have some things left to explain to you," said Sibis.

Everyone except Vincent turned around to leave. Vincent remained in his original spot.

Sibis was sharp. He looked at Vincent and said in a calm and firm tone, "You have advanced."

Vincent was stunned for a moment. He knew that it was impossible for him to hide the fact that he had leveled up. He then nodded.

"Only you and Teacher Chris know the fundamental reason for going out this time. During the mission, if there are any uncertainties, you can discuss it with Teacher Chris. As for the God-Slaying Plan, don't tell anyone about it, understand?" said Sibis.

Sibis was not surprised by Vincent's realm. For a person who has four S-Class superpowers, it was not surprising for him to level up at any time.

Vincent nodded solemnly. He knew very well how important the God-Slaying Plan was.

He had thought about it a lot when he was in the paradise illusion.

Although the God-Slaying Plan was a very flawed plan, it had prolonged the lives of the human race. It provided the human race with time. This gave the opportunity for more superpowered users to emerge.

In regard to the plan itself, it can be argued that it was also good training for those who participated.

They were chosen out of millions and were given the chance to fight against powerful monsters. If they succeed, they could grow even faster.

Even if the 10,000 races of the Black Hole suddenly appeared and started a battle with the human race, it was not impossible for the chosen ones to fight against them.

Of course, this would only happen if the chosen ones were still alive. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

"Last but not least, I need to remind you of this. Even if everyone in this plan dies, you must come back alive! Do you understand me?" said Sibis.

Vincent was stunned by what Sibis had said. He was reluctant to concur.

"Teacher, do you mean that even if this plan fails, I must come back alive?" asked Vincent.

"Are you speaking nonsense? Remember, you must come back alive!"

Sibis became even more confusing. His tone was forceful.

"Teacher…"

"Get out! Get out!" shouted Sibis.

Sibis suddenly flew into a rage and pointed at the door.

Vincent bowed deeply at Sibis. He then turned around and walked out of the principal's office.

Sibis watched as Vincent gradually disappeared from his sight. The reluctance and heartache in his eyes increased.

The principal's office door closed. Sibis felt like a deflated balloon. He collapsed on his chair.

He took out the old group photo once again. His hands were trembling.

"Ares, Athena, was it right or wrong for me to choose Vincent? Will you blame me for not taking good care of your children…?" asked Sibis.

Vincent returned to the dormitory and threw himself on the bed. It had been a long time. He was in need of a break.

Too many things had happened during this period of time. He had experienced too much. He was physically and mentally exhausted.

Vincent felt like he might get sick if he did not rest.

As for his friends, he did not want to pay any attention to them for the time being. He only wanted to stay alone in his room quietly.

However, the heavens did not fulfill his wishes. Not long after he laid down, he heard a loud bang.

He flipped over and sat up on his bed with a vigilant look on his face. He was stunned for a moment but then later revealed a bitter smile.

D*mn it! He had forgotten that his roommate was a guy who did not have any talent but had an interest in making psionic equipment.

He opened his door to take a look. When he opened his door, black smoke surrounded him instantly. Vincent felt like he was choking from the smoke and started to cough.

"Nabil, what are you doing?" shouted Vincent.

Vincent choked so hard that tears started to fill his eyes.

Black smoke billowed out of Nabil's room. Two people covered in soot walked out.

"Hey! Vincent, you're back! I'm researching weapons with Nabil. Do you want to join me?"

Vincent waved at one of them.

He stared at them for a long time but could not recognize who the other person was.

Nabil was easy to recognize. His thick glasses were too unique.

"You are?"

Vincent was rummaging through his mind. He could not figure it out.

"Me! Swire!"

As Swire spoke, he used his superpower to reveal his identity.

Vincent looked at the wings behind Swire and widened his eyes in disbelief.

Swire was hanging out with Nabil?

"You've been researching psionic weapons for Nabil?" asked Vincent in disbelief.

Swire nodded and retracted his superpower.

Nabil revealed an awkward smile. His white teeth were very eye-catching since he was covered in black soot.

"I'm sorry, Vincent. I have failed again. Sorry for disturbing you," said Nabil.

Vincent waved his hand to show that he was fine. However, his head hurt after looking at the house filled with black smoke.

He was considering whether to change dormitories. Living with the two of them would be irresponsible.

It was hard to imagine what the dormitory would look like in the future if the two of them worked together officially.

"Vincent! Come with us! It's so fun! I just realized that the things I used to play with are really weak."

Swire was still trying to invite Vincent over to hang out.

In his opinion, if there were good and fun things, he would naturally want to share them with his good friends.

"I'm good! You two should be careful!"

Vincent turned around and went back to his room. He was speechless.

After seeing Vincent disinterested, Swire just shrugged. He did not want to force him any further. Swire turned to look at Nabil and said in a serious tone, "I think that we shouldn't have increased the psionic ore just now. We should lessen the ore."

Nabil nodded in agreement.

"I think you're right," said Nabil.

After listening to their conversation through the door, Vincent could not help but shiver.

"If we encounter a Monster Horde next time, perhaps these two guys will be of great use," muttered Vincent.

He wanted the two of them to study psionic equipment outside the city wall. They could blow up a lot of monsters at the same time.

On second thought, he felt like it would be inhumane. He shook his head and gave up on the idea.

Vincent returned to his bed. However, he did not feel like resting anymore. Instead, he channeled his psionic power and entered a state of cultivation.

Chapter 90

The next day, Vincent woke up from his training. He took a shower and changed his clothes. He was about to leave the dormitory when he saw Swire and Nabil with bloodshot eyes.

"You two haven't slept all night?" asked Vincent curiously.

"Vincent, let me tell you, the two of us have made a major breakthrough in refining equipment," said Swire.

Swire was excited. He did not look dispirited even though he had not slept for the whole night.

Vincent just shook his head and did not say anything.

In the past, although Swire was a little out of tune, he still had some restraint.

However, as he was hanging out with Nabil, Vincent realized that Swire had become lawless.

"Let's go. It's almost time," said Vincent helplessly.

Swire was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly revealed a look of realization.

The mission starts today!

"Oh right! I forgot! Go, go, go! Principal Sibis is quite fierce. We can't be late," said Swire.

Swire pulled Vincent impatiently.

Nabil was a man of few words. He stood at the side and looked at Vincent and Swire with a happy smile on his face. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

The three of them headed to the principal's office. Only Teacher Chris had arrived. Sibis and Teacher Chris were both talking.

"You're here," said Sibis. He had a faint smile on his face.

Vincent could see the deep worry in his eyes.

The three of them nodded and sat on the sofa.

"Why are your eyes red?" asked Teacher Chris.

Teacher Chris looked at Swire and Nabil with a curious expression.

The two of them were a little embarrassed and grinned.

"Hehe, Teacher Chris! Nabil and I were researching forging psionic equipment last night. We made great progress. We were so excited that we couldn't sleep."

Swire and Nabil looked at each other whilst explaining.

"One whole night?" Teacher Chris frowned.

"Did you forget that our mission starts today? You didn't train properly, and you didn't sleep at all!"

"It's fine. Although I didn't sleep at all, I'm not sleepy. I'm in good condition!"

Swire looked eager to give it a try, but before he could finish his sentence, he yawned.

Teacher Chris glared at him and did not say anything further.

Swire's sleepless night was a foregone conclusion. No matter what she said, it would still be useless.

During that time, the others also arrived one after another. After everyone had arrived, Sibis instructed them to create a space portal.

"Alright everyone, you must pay attention to your safety. I hope you can all return safely," said Sibis.

Everyone nodded.

They knew that the mission was very important and dangerous, but no one wanted to withdraw from it.

Vincent knew far more about the mission than the others. Plus, with his personality, it was impossible for him to choose to retreat at this time.

Teacher Chris wanted to protect the children. The God-Slaying Plan was too dangerous. If she could not protect them, she would not be at ease.

This God-Slaying Plan was much different than usual.

Previously, Falcon Country would gather the strongest people from the entire country together. They would then select individuals to form a team and complete the God-Slaying Plan. In the present, however, only students from Quinn were participating in the plan. It was clear that they were in much greater danger compared to before.

As for the others, they did not know the specific content and meaning of this so-called mission. They only knew that they were going to fight higher-level monsters, and everyone was very excited.

This was especially so for Chris, the battle maniac. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling when he knew he was going to fight stronger monsters.

Sibis's gaze swept over everyone. There were so many talented children. Although they were not the strongest in Quinn, they were definitely the most talented. Any damage that they suffer would affect Quinn's future development.

If Vincent and the others died in the God-Slaying Plan, Quinn's development would fall back more than ten years. It would even affect their ranking as an Advanced Superpowered School.

Of course, the other schools had also suffered losses previously in the Jungle Capital. In fact, many of the schools had completely lost their potential for any future development.

Quinn was definitely in a better position compared to the other schools.

"Let's go!" said Sibis. His tone was heavy.

He knew that his words would cause a group of people to go into battle with a slim chance of survival.

Life and death were determined by fate; wealth and honor were determined by heaven!

As the captain, Vincent was bound to take the lead. After all, no one knew what the situation on the other side of the dimensional portal was like. He could not let his companions take such a risk.

He took a deep breath and stepped towards the portal. However, he was stopped by Teacher Chris.

"Vincent, let me go first. I'm an agility-type superpowered user. If anything happens, I can probably dodge it even if I can't win," said Teacher Chris.

Vincent shook his head and looked at Teacher Chris with a determined gaze.

"Teacher Chris, you go second. Be my backup and protect the others at the same time."

"But your level…"

Teacher Chris thought about how she was a high-level superpowered user, and how her combat experience was much better than Vincent's. She could at least react to unexpected situations.

Although Vincent was very strong, and she might not be a match for him in a one-on-one fight, he was still only an intermediate-level superpowered user.

Vincent smiled faintly. "Teacher Chris, you don't have to worry about me. Compared to me, a pathfinder, your mission is more important," said Vincent whilst looking at the others.

The others felt uncomfortable when Vincent looked at them. Their self-esteem was hurting, but they did not say anything.

They knew that they did not have an advantage in scouting compared to Vincent.

Teacher Chris thought about it. She knew that Vincent was right. She could only nod and agree.

"You must pay attention to your safety," said Teacher Chris with a face full of worry. She could not help but exhort.

Vincent's face was full of confidence. He nodded and walked into the dimensional portal.

There was no danger on the other side of the dimensional portal. This made Vincent feel much more at ease.

However, the surrounding environment was not good. The air was a little thin and it was not easy to breathe. Although there was no snow around, the temperature was still quite low. Even with Vincent's strength, he still felt a chill in his summer clothes.

After observing the surroundings, it could be deduced that they were at least 800 meters above sea level.

The trees were lush, but they appeared to be abnormally black and green. There were also large patches of reddish-brown blood stains on the rocks not very far away. There was layer upon layer of blood, and they all vary in depth.

This was proof that they were in a place where battles usually take place. It could also be deduced that the number of monsters in the area must be very large in size.

The second person who walked out was Teacher Chris. She was blown away by the cold wind. She could not help but shiver. Her expression became very serious after looking at the surrounding environment.

"We should be in the depths of the wilderness now. Just by looking at the surrounding environment, there are probably no cities within a few million kilometers radius," said Teacher Chris.

Teacher Chris took a jacket from her space belt and wore it.

Vincent nodded affirmatively.

"Looks like we're not in a good place. We may be in the territory of a large group of unknown monsters," said Vincent.

The others walked out of the dimensional portal one after another. Angelina was the last to walk out. The dimensional portal became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.

"Where are we?" asked Angelina.

Angelina looked around in confusion.

Vincent shook his head. "I'm not sure, everyone. From now on, we have to be extremely alert. We don't have any assistance, we only have ourselves. I hope that when the mission is over, the seven of us will return to Quinn together!" said Vincent.

Everyone had mentally prepared themselves for what they would face next. They all nodded solemnly after hearing what Vincent had said.

"Let's go!"

Vincent waved his hand and led everyone to the southwest.

There were not many traces of monsters there. It seemed safer.

However, less than ten minutes later, something changed!

Chapter 91

There was an angry roar coming from the left. The roar carried an extremely powerful aura and was accompanied by waves of tremors from the ground. The tremors were getting stronger and stronger.

Vincent and his team were shocked and quickly prepared their defense and superpowers.

Although they did not know where they were, they knew that they were far away from the city. This was proof that the monsters would be of high level.

Suddenly, a monster appeared. It looked like it was ready to fight with all its might.

"Follow the previous battle formation. Swire will provide air support. Teacher Chris will support. Be ready to kill in one shot, at any time!" instructed Vincent.

Everyone noted down Vincent's order and got into position quickly.

Chris and Avril were at the front whilst Angelina and Nabil were in the middle; Vincent stayed behind; Swire was flying in the sky whilst holding two A-Class psionic pistols in his hands and Teacher Chris hid behind some trees. 𝓵𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝒎

Right at that moment, Vincent and his team finally got a glimpse of their opponent.

It was a group of high-level monsters known as Jumping Snakes, and there were at least dozens of them.

"They seem to be migrating," said Swire, who was flying high in the sky.

Vincent raised his head to look at Swire and said in a deep voice, "Move to the right and avoid the route of the Jumping Snakes. If the Jumping Snakes don't attack us, no one is allowed to attack."

Most of the monsters still retained some of their characteristics as animals or plants, especially during the migration process. As long as Vincent and his team did not actively provoke them, they would not take the initiative to attack.

The Jumping Snakes were getting closer and closer to Vincent and his team. Vincent and his team were slowly moving to the right. It was unlikely for them to meet if they maintained their pace.

However, Swire, who was in the sky, suddenly shouted, "We have discovered three special-class monsters, the Beeping Horse, the Multi-Colored Tiger, and the Lightning Crow. If we continue with our route, we will meet them all at the same time."

Vincent's gaze was focused. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth. "Chris and Avril will fight the Multi-Colored Tiger. Swire will coordinate from the air. Nabil and Angelina will fight the Beeping Horse. Teacher Chris, prepare to launch an attack. Leave the Lightning Crow to me."

Everyone took down Vincent's orders and headed in the direction of their respective opponents under Swire's guidance.

Three special-class monsters. Although the battles were quite dangerous, it was not as dangerous as fighting against dozens of Jumping Snakes.

Vincent stood in front of the Lightning Crow and shot out a series of World-Cleansing Fire Rockets.

The Lightning Crow had the ability to control lightning. Although its defense was low, it was fast and had strong attack power. Ordinary special-class superpowered users would find it difficult to defeat it.

The Lightning Crow let out an angry cry after it sensed Vincent's presence. It spread its wings and flew upwards. It dodged Vincent's attack easily. At the same time, it spat out a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm towards Vincent.

Vincent raised his hand and used his World-Cleansing Fire Shield to block the Lightning Crow's attack.

He did not have any hopes of killing the Lightning Crow in one move, but he did not expect the Lightning Crow's attack to be so low.

In fact, it was not that the Lightning Crow's attack was low, it was actually Vincent's overall combat power. His combat power had long surpassed the limit of a high-level superpowered user after he had grown in various aspects in the Utopia Fantasy Land.

Aside from being a high-level superpowered user, he was also completely on par with the best special-class superpowered users in terms of psionic power, reaction, and other aspects.

Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and flew into the sky. He pulled out his Purgatory Blade and launched an S-Class combat skill, Sky Splitter.

Boom!

Sky Splitter was actually very similar to Collapsing Mountain Strike, except that it was more powerful. Usually, one would not be able to adjust the direction of the attack without moving. However, Vincent was able to change the angle of the attacks just by using his thoughts.

The Lightning Crow sensed intense danger from Vincent's attack. It chose to avoid clashing head-on with Vincent. Instead, it pulled away from him and attacked him continuously using lightning.

Vincent looked at the Lightning Crow that was hiding in the sky. It did not come down. He smiled coldly at it.

Vincent put away his Purgatory Blade. He then opened his hands and aimed at the Lightning Crow.

"World-Cleansing Fire Gatlin!"

Countless purgatory arrows flew out of Vincent's palms at an extremely fast speed.

The Lightning Crow was shocked by Vincent's attack. It immediately gave up on attacking and began to dodge.

At that moment, the Lightning Crow knew that it was no match for Vincent. It only wanted to get rid of Vincent's attack as soon as possible and escape.

However, how could Vincent give up on killing the Lightning Crow just like that?

His hands followed the Lightning Crow's movements. It was very easy to attack the Lightning Crow as he was in the center.

Vincent was completely suppressing the Lightning Crow on his end. However, the other two battles were not going as smoothly.

Chris transformed into a high-level monster, the Ice Snake. He and Avril attacked the Multi-Colored Tiger from a distance and at close range. Swire on the other hand only had the combat power of a beginner-level superpowered user. He flew into the sky and shot out his psionic pistols from time to time to distract the tiger.

The Multi-Colored Tiger was a special-class monster. Its defense was amazing. The three of them could not deal any effective damage to the Multi-Colored Tiger.

Its powerful attacks had even managed to suppress Avril.

Although the Multi-Colored Tiger's attack speed was getting slower and slower because of Chris, it was still very difficult for Avril, who was only an intermediate-level superpowered user.

The three of them fought against the Multi-Colored Tiger. They barely maintained their balance.

Teacher Chris, Angelina, and Nabil were doing much better in comparison.

Although they did not completely suppress the Beeping Horse, they were still slowly securing victory.

Angelina's superpower had an innate advantage over the Beeping Horse. Every time the Beeping Horse wanted to launch a sound wave attack, she would restrict it. This made the Beeping Horse very annoyed.

Plus, Teacher Chris was a high-level superpowered user who was about to become a special-class superpowered user. She would launch attacks from time to time, which made the Beeping Horse even angrier.

The Beeping Horse's main ability was speed. It would use the wind element to increase its speed in order to collide with its enemies.

Given its combat ability, it would usually not be suppressed so easily.

However, Nabil's presence made it extremely frustrating.

If it wanted to leave, Nabil would use Holy Light Binding on it; if it didn't, Nabil would use 100,000 Lightning Strikes to bombard it.

Its body was charred black and covered in wounds since the start of the battle.

Some were caused by Chris, while some were caused by Nabil.

The three battles as a whole were fine. When Vincent and Teacher Chris killed the monsters, it would be no problem for them to turn around and help the others.

However, accidents often happened unknowingly and would catch people off guard.

Chapter 92

The Jumping Snakes that they were trying to avoid earlier suddenly made an unexpected turn. They were headed in the direction of Vincent and his team.

Swire, who was flying in the air, saw what was happening and widened his eyes in horror.

"The Jumping Snakes are heading this way!"

Although Vincent was busy battling the Lightning Crow, he could still see dozens of Jumping Snakes heading towards them from the air. The Jumping Snakes left a trail of thick smoke and dust.

"What's going on? Why would the Jumping Snakes come here?" asked Vincent whilst frowning.

He could not understand.

Based on logic, it was unlikely for monsters to change their directions all of a sudden during the migration process unless their destination required them to turn.

After thinking for a while, Vincent was shocked to find out that his team was actually in the way of the Jumping Snakes' migration route.

"B*stard!" cursed Vincent.

He then sped up his attacks against the Lightning Crow.

However, the Lightning Crow was too fast. Vincent was unable to kill it in a short period of time.

In a fit of anger, Vincent roared and raised his hand. He threw a large fireball with a diameter of 20 meters towards the Lightning Crow.

The Lightning Crow had gradually adapted to Vincent's attack rhythm and was actually planning a counterattack. However, it did not expect Vincent to change his attack style all of a sudden.

The Lightning Crow was so scared when it saw the huge fireball heading towards it and cried out loudly. The Lightning Crow quickly flapped its wings and fled into the distance.

Although the fireball was huge, it was not slow. However, Vincent did not intend for it to catch up with the Lightning Crow.

"Swire, get out of the way!" shouted Vincent.

Swire did not understand what was going on, but he trusted Vincent. He retracted his wings and fell to the ground.

Boom!

The World-Cleansing Fireball exploded with a loud bang. The explosion was very bright even during the day.

The intense white light blinded everyone as well as the monsters. They all lost their sight temporarily. Only Vincent was prepared and had closed his eyes.

The Lightning Crow was very fast. However, the range of the fireball explosion was also very large. The intense shock wave swallowed the Lightning Crow directly.

Vincent did not stop even after hearing the system's notification. He rushed towards the Multi-Colored Tiger.

The sudden loss of sight drove the Multi-Colored Tiger crazy. It pounced on the ground panicking, but it was of no use.

Vincent climbed on top of the Multi-Colored Tiger and used the Purgatory Purification Gatlin. He turned the Multi-Colored Tiger into a sieve.

Vincent then ran towards the Beeping Horse.

As everyone had lost their sight, the Beeping Horse finally unleashed its first sonic attack in the entire battle.

However, just two seconds after it unleashed its attack, it was hit by a huge force. There were also sounds of its bones breaking. Soon, there were no longer sounds from the Beeping Horse. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

Vincent was in front of the Beeping Horse. When he saw that the Beeping Horse was about to open its mouth, he knew that it was going to use a sound wave attack. Vincent slapped the horse's head without any hesitation. He just wanted the Beeping Horse to shut its mouth and stop the sound wave attack.

However, he did not expect his slap to be so powerful. He whipped the Beeping Horse's head around.

The system notification rang again, and Vincent heaved a sigh of relief. He had killed it.

Vincent then rushed to the Jumping Snakes.

Although the Jumping Snakes was only a high-class monster, their terror was even greater than three special-class monsters. This was because there were dozens of them gathered together.

Vincent's team had not regained their sight, so it was impossible for Vincent to not step up.

Otherwise, the Jumping Snakes would have stomped them into meat paste.

The Jumping Snakes' attacks relied entirely on jumping. They looked like springs.

They never grew in size but would change color when they aged.

The Jumping Snakes had a total of five colors: white, red, blue, green, and black. The darker the color, the heavier their weights were, and the higher the damage caused when they jumped.

The Jumping Snakes that Vincent encountered were not green or black. However, there were five or six blue ones from each side. The snakes in the middle were white and red.

Vincent jumped on top of the Jumping Snakes. He used his Purgatory Purification Gatlin and formed a Fire Net to block their advances.

However, the Jumping Snakes did not pay any attention to him. Two blue jumping snakes jumped up from each side and crashed into Vincent.

Vincent knew that the Jumping Snakes would attack him, so he flew really high to avoid getting hit.

Vincent thought that this would be enough to block the Jumping Snakes' attacks. However, he did not expect the eight jumping snakes to stack on top of one another like a pyramid.

They jumped up at the same time and dropped one by one. The last Jumping Snake was actually close enough to hit Vincent.

Vincent managed to dodge its attack but his Purgatory Purification Gatlin attacks came to a halt.

It seemed like it was not effective in stopping the Jumping Snakes' advances. Vincent took out his Purgatory Blade and slashed down on the snakes.

The Jumping Snakes nimbly turned and dodged Vincent's attacks. They did not slow down at all.

"B*stards! I don't believe that I can't defeat you!" yelled Vincent.

Vincent retracted his Flaming Wings and threw them at the Jumping Snakes. Whilst he was in the air, he used Mimicry and unleashed his S-Class combat skill, Sky Splitter.

"Sky Splitter!"

Vincent's entire body was falling as he started to spin and finally crashed onto the ground.

The powerful pulling force caused the Jumping Snakes to roll up. It then tore them into pieces instantly.

At the same time, Teacher Chris regained her sight. When she saw Vincent battling the Jumping Snakes, she quickly went to help him.

Powerful attacks and terrifying combat skills were used. They managed to tear a hole in the Jumping Snakes' formation. Teacher Chris relied on her swift speed to enter the Jumping Snakes' formation.

After being attacked continuously, the Jumping Snakes became very angry. They then jumped up in unison and landed on the ground with a loud bang.

Bang!

Bang!

The powerful force sent out a ring-shaped shock wave. It collided with Vincent's Sky Splitter and was immediately canceled.

Teacher Chris was not so lucky. She was in the center of the shock wave and had been thrown out. Before she landed on the ground, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Teacher Chris!" yelled Vincent.

He spread his Flaming Wings and flew towards Teacher Chris. He caught her right before she landed on the ground.

Teacher Chris looked miserable. Her body was covered with fine wounds; her face was pale and there were bloodstains on her clothes.

Although she was a little blurry, her face was still full of panic. She grabbed Vincent's arm and said, "Hurry up and save everyone! I'm fine!"

Vincent took out a recovery pill and placed it in Teacher Chris's mouth. He then turned around and continued to block the Jumping Snakes.

Although he really wanted to protect Teacher Chris, he could not abandon Angelina and the others. They would definitely die if he abandoned them.

He could not lose so many of his teammates just to protect one person.

He had the same experience back in Utopia Fantasy Land.

Chapter 93

Chris and a few others gradually regained their sight. There was a den of Jumping Snakes heading towards them.

As Chris was the oldest, he reacted immediately.

He opened his mouth wide and spat out ice balls. The ice balls exploded in front of the Jumping Snakes. The entire area was frozen.

Although the Jumping Snakes had amazing jumping power, they still slipped when they landed on the ice. Many of the Jumping Snakes slipped and fell onto the ground.

They became chaotic and their speed slowed down.

Vincent arrived shortly afterwards. He raised his hand and casted World-Cleansing Fire. Many of the Jumping Snakes were instantly ignited and burnt to ashes.

Vincent noticed that his World-Cleansing Fire was about to spread, so he quickly withdrew it.

Previously, before Vincent evolved, even if he used all his strength, he would still not be able to control Hellfire from spreading.

As he had upgraded his superpower to World-Cleansing Fire, he no longer dared to use his superpower freely. In fact, he had only used less than 10% of it on the Jumping Snakes.

There was no other way. The World-Cleansing Fire was too powerful. It was so powerful that he knew faintly that he would not be able to control it completely.

Otherwise, his World-Cleansing Fire attack would have been enough to destroy all the Jumping Snakes in an instant.

Angelina and the others soon regained their sights. They were all surprised to see Vincent and Chris successfully stopping the Jumping Snakes.

Everyone knew that Vincent was a monster. Even Avril, who had always compared herself to Vincent knew very well that Vincent was someone she could not catch up to. She no longer compared herself to him.

However, everyone found it hard to believe that Chris was also so powerful.

Although Chris's combat style was ever-changing and was made up of many combinations due to his superpower, it never used to be this terrifying.

Other than Swire, everyone else was on the same level as Chris. Although there was a gap in their superpowers, the gap was not as big previously.

The current situation proved that Chris was far more powerful than them.

"Don't just watch, let's attack together. Let's eliminate the Jumping Snakes quickly and prevent the other monsters from coming over!" shouted Vincent after seeing the others regain their sights.

"Swire, go and protect Teacher Chris!" said Vincent whilst pointing to Teacher Chris.

Teacher Chris was surrounded by Jumping Snakes. As she was seriously injured, the battle situation did not look promising. If this continued, she might die under the siege of the Jumping Snakes.

The four of them quickly moved out. Angelina's superpower was useless against the Jumping Snakes, so she hid behind her team and shot using her psionic guns.

Avril held two mountain-splitting axes and charged towards the Jumping Snakes. As soon as she made contact with the Jumping Snakes, she launched a two-level sweep and instantly split a few Jumping Snakes into two.

Nabil alternates between his Holy Light Binding and 100,000 Lightning Strikes in order to block the advancement of the Jumping Snakes. Golden bolts of lightning exploded amid the Jumping Snakes. Those who were close were blown into pieces, while those who were far away were also injured to varying degrees.

Swire was the most relaxed compared to the others. He flew in the sky and fired his psionic pistols continuously. Every Jumping Snake that tried to attack Teacher Chris was struck by Swire's psionic bullets.

Every single one of his shots was on point. Although his level had not increased in the past few months, it was obvious that his combat skills had become much stronger.

Five minutes later, all the Jumping Snakes had been killed by them. Everyone was so tired that they fell to the ground; even moving their fingers felt tiring.

Vincent was the only one that was still fine. He fed his teammates recovery potions one by one.

The others were fine. It was just that they had fought for too long and were somewhat exhausted. Teacher Chris on the other hand was not in good condition.

Not only was she heavily injured, but she had also fallen into a coma. She had been poisoned by the Jumping Snakes.

Under normal circumstances, the Jumping Snakes' poison would not cause harm to a human. However, Teacher Chris's situation was different. She was already heavily injured and was surrounded by dozens of Jumping Snakes. With the addition of the poison, it was no less than being attacked by a poisonous monster.

After Vincent fed Teacher Chris the recovery potion and antidote, he frowned. He felt upset.

The overall situation was not good for everyone. Whether they stayed or moved left, they would still be at risk.

Plus, they had only left Quinn less than a day ago and were already about to lose one of their teammates. This made him reassess the God-Slaying Plan.

"Vincent, what are you thinking about?" asked Angelina.

Angelina was the only one who was in perfect condition. She walked over to Vincent who was frowning.

Vincent shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine. "Take care of everyone. I'll go take a look around. We need to find a place to camp temporarily and give everyone some time to recover their psionic power and physical strength." 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Although Angelina wanted to stop Vincent, it was very clear that the degree of terror in this mysterious place was very high. After all, they had just experienced two battles in a short period of time.

Vincent leaving on his own would obviously be risky.

However, she was also very clear that Vincent was right. They could not continue to stay in this place.

Even if there were no monsters at that moment, it did not mean that there would not be any more monsters coming soon. As time passed, more monsters would definitely show up.

Whether it was humans or monsters, they were all great nourishment for the monsters.

The blood on the ground was enough to make the monsters go crazy.

If they did not leave quickly, Angelina was not sure what kind of monsters they would have to welcome next.

Moreover, everyone was not doing well. They really needed to find a safe place to rest and recuperate.

Vincent spread his Flaming Wings and flew away.

In three minutes, he had flown more than a thousand meters. He saw many monsters heading towards his teammates.

As time passed, the need for a campsite became more and more urgent.

Fortunately, after a minute, he found a hidden cave. He went in to check. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly headed in the direction of his teammates.

The speed at which he returned was much faster than the speed at which he left.

One minute was enough for many things to occur.

After sensing a battle aura from afar, Vincent could not help but speed up a little.

It was clear that new monsters had arrived at their previous battlefield and were currently engaging in battle with his teammates.

When Vincent arrived, he fired a series of flash bullets. The flash bullets pierced through the eyes of the Blazing Lion Gold Beast instantly.

Vincent felt guilty when he saw his teammates suffering new injuries.

"Vincent, have you found the campsite?"

Angelina saw that Vincent had returned and walked up to him breathlessly.

Chapter 94

Angelina was a mage. She had used up quite a lot of energy during the battle with the Blazing Lion Gold Beast because she was the main force.

It was fortunate that the Blazing Lion Gold Beast's ability was of the magic type as it gave Angelina the opportunity to use her superpowers.

Although Angelina's superpower could target all types of monsters and special abilities, she was not very strong. Therefore, she was unable to absorb the monsters' abilities in close combat or their purely physical attributes.

However, the team still benefited from her weakness. Angelina's forte in magic has helped to enhance the magic elements in the team as a whole.

Although Vincent also used magic to attack, he could not fully display his superpower especially when he had just evolved.

Despite his strong combat strength, he still lacked AoE damage.

If Vincent used AoE damage at this stage, it would definitely result in mutual destruction.

He would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Found it, but it's a bit far. The straight-line distance is 1,300 meters, and the curved distance is at least 3,000 meters," said Vincent. His expression was solemn.

In the past, 3,000 meters was not an issue. However, in the present, it was likely that it would lead everyone to death.

Angelina knew the level of danger if they traveled such a distance. She did not speak.

Vincent's gaze swept over everyone one by one before finally locking onto Chris.

Chris noticed that Vincent was looking at him. He immediately understood what Vincent meant. He stood up and walked in front of Vincent.

"I know what you want to do. Go do it. I'm here. Even if I die, I will definitely protect everyone until you come back," said Chris.

Vincent looked at Chris's determined face and nodded.

"Protect everyone and yourself. It will take me about five minutes to go back and forth. You only need to hold on for 25 minutes," said Vincent.

Chris nodded.

As the vice-captain of the team, there were times when he needed to shoulder responsibilities that others could not. This was his responsibility as the vice-captain.

Angelina looked at the two of them talking. She was dumbfounded.

What were these two talking about? They did not understand what was going on.

"What are you two talking about? What five minutes? What do you mean by persisting for 25 minutes? Vincent! What are you doing?" asked Angelina.

Vincent looked at Angelina and shook his head slightly. He did not say anything.

"Nabil, you stay here with Chris. If there is a battle, provide Chris with what he needs," said Vincent.

Although Nabil did not know what Vincent and Chris were talking about, it was obvious that following Chris meant that there was a risk of death. At the very least, it was a much greater risk than following Vincent. Nevertheless, he still nodded and agreed.

Nabil was afraid of death, but he was also very clear that Vincent would not let his teammates die so easily. After spending so much time together, he was certain of Vincent.

After promising Vincent, he proceeded to consume potion to speed up the recovery of his psionic power.

Vincent looked at Avril again and said, "If I remember correctly, you have yet to use your Fury today. Before I return, do not use it unless it is a matter of life or death."

Avril did not speak much, to begin with. When she heard Vincent's orders, she just nodded slightly.

After making the arrangements, Vincent walked in front of Swire.

"Vincent, what task do you have for me?" asked Swire.

"Follow me," said Vincent.

"Ah?"

Swire initially thought that Vincent would ask him to stay. He did not expect Vincent to ask him to leave along with him.

"You have more important things to do."

Vincent could see through Swire. He knew that he was confused.

He picked him up, spread his Flaming Wings, and flew into the sky towards the direction of the cave.

Everyone present was not stupid. After seeing where Vincent was heading, they immediately understood Vincent's plan.

Vincent wanted to rely on his own strength to send his companions one by one to the campsite.

Chris was tasked with protecting everyone. He had to protect them even if he had to die in battle.

Of course, if there was actually a battle, everyone would not just stand by and watch.

Less than three minutes after Vincent left, a red-eyed yellow ox rushed out from the bushes. Its two earthy yellow horns were covered in blood and were gleaming in cold light.

It was obvious that it had just gone through a battle.

"Special-class monster, Brute Force Buffalo!" Angelina cried out in surprise.

Although she was not afraid of encountering monsters, she was afraid of encountering a special-class monster. Plus, everyone had not fully recovered. To encounter a special-class monster during this time was a matter of life and death.

The determination in Chris's eyes grew stronger. He took out a spirit core and transformed into a special-class monster, the Multi-Colored Tiger.

Nabil ate the recovery potion while buffing Chris's status.

It looked very funny, but no one present could laugh.

Chris's body was flashing. All of Nabil's buffs were buffed.

Chris roared and charged towards the Brute Force Buffalo.

He waved his left front claw and a few claw marks appeared in the air. He then flew towards the Brute Force Buffalo.

The Brute Force Buffalo shook its head. The sharp horn on its head collided with Chris's claw marks and produced a muffled bang. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

When the claw marks disappeared, a few white marks appeared on its sharp horn.

The Brute Force Buffalo cried out; its scarlet eyes were filled with anger.

Ever since it upgraded to a special-class monster, the sharp horns on its head had never been attacked in such a manner.

I was greatly humiliated after seeing the white marks.

Its four hooves flew upwards. Whoosh! It soon arrived in front of Chris. The sharp horns rammed into Chris's eyes.

Chris immediately dodged its attack and began to fight with the Brute Force Buffalo. After about three minutes, Nabil seized the opportunity to use Holy Light Binding to control the Brute Force Buffalo.

At the same time, Avril could no longer lift her mountain-splitting ax. She could only use her psionic pistol and open fire at the Brute Force Buffalo. She was aiming for its eyes.

Angelina did the same. Her superpower had no effect on the Brute Force Buffalo.

One second may seem short, but in a battle, it felt very long. However, for everyone, it was enough to kill the Brute Force Buffalo.

The Brute Force Buffalo's two eyes were pierced. Blood and white brain matter flowed out of its eyes, and it fell to the ground.

Before everyone could heave a sigh of relief, another special-class monster suddenly appeared. It was the Mandala Snake, and it was about to launch an attack at them.

It opened its mouth wide and was about to bite into Nabil's neck from the back.

The Mandala Snake had never attacked any target from the front. It was also smart enough to observe and judge situations.

In fact, it had been hiding at the side the whole time. It was watching everyone fight the Brute Force Buffalo. When everyone was relaxed after killing the Brute Force Buffalo, the Mandala Snake seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

In the past, it had always worked. However, the Mandala Snake was not as lucky that day.

The Mandala Snake was about to sink its poisonous teeth into Nabil. It could even feel the blood flowing in Nabil's body.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a gray arrow that was burning with black flames flew down from the sky and struck the head of the Mandala Snake, nailing it to the ground.

Chapter 95

"Vincent!"

They looked at the Mandala Snake that had been nailed to the ground and broke out in cold sweat.

If Vincent had not returned in time, Nabil would have been a corpse.

"Is everyone alright?" asked Vincent whilst looking at the corpse of the Brute Force Buffalo.

"We can still fight," said Chris. He was still a Multi-Colored Tiger.

Vincent nodded. He then picked up Teacher Chris who was unconscious and flew into the sky.

Vincent did this four times. Finally, only Chris and Nabil were left to fight. The monsters were drawn to them because of the smell of blood.

The more monsters died, the more monsters that came by. Every monster was stronger than the one before.

Although there were no lord-tier monsters yet, there were still some monsters that were about to advance to lord-tier.

In a short span of 20 minutes, Chris had already killed eight special-class monsters. However, this number did not include the monsters that Vincent had helped to kill when he returned for them. In total, they have killed roughly 20 special-class monsters.

Chris transformed into a Giant Earth Bear. Although it was only a high-level monster, it was able to borrow power from the Earth. Moreover, its defense was very strong. This meant that it could drag out battles with monsters.

The most important thing was that it was huge. Nabil could stand on its shoulders and avoid being ambushed by other monsters.

Chris was fighting against another Giant Earth Bear. The other Giant Earth Bear was of a higher level. As such, its combat strength was naturally stronger than Chris.

Chris's body was covered with all kinds of wounds. He was panting heavily and could no longer stand straight.

Nevertheless, he still forced himself to be alert. He could not relax as Nabil had not been rescued by Vincent.

The Giant Earth Bear looked at Chris in a teasing manner. Its attacks became more and more powerful. With each strike, Chris would be pushed back more than ten steps.

However, the Giant Earth Bear monster was confused. It was the same type of bear as Chris. Why was Chris protecting a human?

Moreover, it could also see that Chris was already at the end of his tether. Why was he still trying so hard to hold on?

The monster was not human, so it naturally could not understand what the humans were doing. Chris's persistence seemed weak and ridiculous in its eyes.

"Nabil, hide quickly. I can't hold on any longer. Vincent will be back soon," said Chris.

For a battle maniac to say such words was obvious enough that he had reached his limit. He was unable to continue any further.

He planned to perish together with the Giant Earth Bear in order to buy Nabil some time. At the same time, he wanted to scare off the monsters that were rushing over.

Although Nabil looked very dull physically, it did not mean that he was dull as a whole. After hearing what Chris had said, it was impossible for him to not know what to do.

"Impossible! Chris! If you want to die, we'll die together! This is the mission that Vincent gave me!" said Nabil. He rejected his idea and continued to buff Chris.

The Giant Earth Bear roared towards the sky. It wanted to kill Chris and the human on his shoulder in the next attack.

"Vincent isn't here! I'm the Captain! You shut up and listen to my orders!" said Chris.

Chris could feel the Giant Earth Bear gathering its strength. It roared angrily whilst gathering its strength.

Chris had to take the next attack no matter what. The five minutes were almost up.

Vincent would always return every five minutes. Chris believed that Vincent could do the same this time.

"Roar!"

The Giant Earth Bear let out an excited roar. The earthen yellow energy ball in its mouth grew bigger and bigger before it finally spat it at Chris.

Chris did the same. However, as he was already at the end of his tether, coupled with the difference in level, he could not gather his energy ball completely. He had no choice but to spit it out earlier.

Bang!

The two energy balls collide. Chris's energy ball was canceled out by the Giant Earth Bear's energy ball.

The Giant Earth Bear's energy ball had also shrunk by a layer. Even so, it was still very terrifying.

Chris closed his eyes in despair and fell backward. He reached out to grab Nabil on his shoulder and threw him in the direction Vincent had flown off to.

He had no other choice. The only thing he could do was to throw Nabil out, hoping that Vincent would be able to find Nabil before he was killed by the monster.

"World-Cleansing Barrier!"

Chris thought that he had hallucinated before he died. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not feel any pain.

"Chris! Chris!"

Chris could hear Nabil calling out to him.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Nabil. He looked as if he had just survived a disaster. He then turned his head to see Vincent attacking the Giant Earth Bear.

The Giant Earth Bear was very angry at Vincent, the human that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Plus, Vincent had managed to block its own innate attack.

The Giant Earth Bear waved its hands repeatedly as if it was chasing away a fly.

Vincent did look like a fly next to the Giant Earth Bear.

Its attack speed was not as fast as Vincent's. It could not catch up to Vincent at all and could only take a passive beating.

Vincent held the Purgatory Blade in his hand and used Sky Splitter repeatedly as if it was free. Every strike was aimed at the Giant Earth Bear's stomach.

The Giant Earth Bear's defense was terrifying. After enduring Vincent's six Sky Splitters in a row, it fell to the ground and howled loudly.

The system sent Vincent a notification. Vincent heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards Chris. Chris had returned to his human form. Vincent gave him a kick. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

"Bastard! Didn't I tell you to protect yourself? You won't run if you can't win! Only Nabil is alone, don't tell me you can't take him with you?"

Chris looked at Vincent who was furious. He was stunned for a moment. He then proceeded to laugh out loud.

What was life? What was living? He finally understood.

Things that he could not accept in the past were no longer a bother at this point. He became much more relaxed.

Pop!

Chris felt that something in his body was broken. Following that, his aura rose steadily.

Vincent looked at Chris and was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and looked at Nabil.

"This guy has received a blessing in disguise. He has advanced," said Vincent.

Nabil shrugged and did not say anything.

Vincent looked at his surroundings that had suddenly quiet down. He then looked at Chris and sighed softly.

"It's just that the timing isn't right!"

"Nabil, we can't leave for the time being. You protect yourself and Chris. I'll fight the monsters. When he wakes up, we can then leave and meet with everyone else," said Vincent.

Nabil nodded and continued to consume medicine for recovery.

Vincent could sense many powerful auras hidden around him. Based on a rough estimate, there were more than a hundred auras.

After such a long battle, the monsters were no longer fools. They knew that Vincent and the others were not to be trifled with.

However, they were also not willing to give up. After all, it was a rare opportunity to meet a weak human.

If they were to attack, there was a risk of being killed. It was very likely that they would benefit the monsters after them.

If they did not attack, they would not be willing to leave either. No one was willing to give up just like that.

Vincent did not take the initiative to attack either. He only wanted to wait for Chris to complete his advancement.

Neither side took the initiative to attack. A rare delicate balance was formed.

More than ten minutes had passed. Chris finally completed his advancement. He could sense the strong power in his body. Although he was still very weak due to the excessive consumption of psionic power, he was fascinated by the strong power.

"Congratulations, Chris. You've become a high-level superpowered user," said Vincent whilst smiling.

Chris chuckled, and said in a serious tone, "Shall we leave now?"

Vincent nodded. The three of them walked towards the cave together.

Since they had to walk there, they had to walk at least three kilometers. However, there were only three of them left. This was equivalent to one and a half people's combat strength. It was not a big problem.

Vincent was one person, and Chris and Nabil made up half a person.

The monsters that were watching them earlier could not hold back anymore when they saw them leaving. They roared and rushed towards them one after another.

Chapter 96

Vincent turned around and swung the Purgatory Blade in his hand. A huge chasm appeared in front of the monsters. It was 50 meters long and more than 10 meters wide.

"Since you know how to hibernate, then you must have gained wisdom. Those who are not afraid of death can try to follow us," said Vincent.

Vincent turned around and left with Chris and Nabil. They completely ignored the monsters behind them.

In fact, Vincent had long suspected that when monsters grew to a certain level, they would start to possess intelligence. Otherwise, the monsters would not even consider the combat strength of their target beforehand to determine whether or not they could kill them.

Many monsters that should not have been dormant were dormant. This was too abnormal.

Coincidentally, the lowest level of all the monsters was special-class. Vincent wanted to test whether his guess was correct.

If the monsters were intelligent, they would have retreated after seeing Vincent's attack. If not, they would just have to fight a fierce battle.

Vincent had experienced many fierce battles ever since he awakened his superpowers. The current battle was not bad either.

When the ferocious monsters saw that Vincent had created such a large hole using his blade, they all stopped and looked at Vincent in fear.

They thought that Vincent would not have much combat power left after so many battles. Plus, he had also been flying. Nevertheless, it seemed like that was not the case.

Some of the monsters were obviously afraid and had retreated. They returned to the battlefield and ate the corpses of the monsters that Vincent had left behind.

The corpses were left behind by Vincent on purpose to buy time for the three of them to escape.

There were also some monsters that chose to take the risk. They jumped across the chasm and started to chase after Vincent.

These monsters that were chasing after Vincent could be divided into two groups.

The ones with higher intelligence walked behind them or chose to hide.

The ones with lower intelligence chased after Vincent and attacked from behind.

Vincent looked as if he was not paying any attention to what was happening behind him. However, in reality, he had been paying attention all along.

After observing everything that had happened since he used Collapsing Mountain Strike to create a chasm in the ground, Vincent had a clear answer in his heart. There were some monsters that have indeed given up.

In addition, the monsters' pursuit had also been divided into two. Therefore, Vincent was 100% certain that he had guessed right.

The Golden Lightning Cheetah was the fastest. Just as it was about to pounce on Vincent, its head spun backward and was chopped off by Vincent.

Vincent had also attached Hellfire to his Purgatory Blade. This caused the Golden Lightning Cheetah to disintegrate right in front of the other monsters.

Another group of monsters chose to give up the battle.

"You guys go first, I'll be right behind you," said Vincent to Chris and Nabil. They were both blocking the path of the monsters.

The current group of monsters was undoubtedly stronger than the Jumping Snakes.

Chris could feel that his body had not recovered much psionic power. He knew that he would only be dragging Vincent down if he stayed. Without any hesitation, he left with Nabil.

Before Nabil left, he cast a status buff on Vincent.

The monsters looked at Vincent and all stopped in their tracks. They did not dare to act rashly after seeing Vincent's strength.

Vincent's two slashes were enough to show how terrifying he was.

Vincent smiled coldly when he saw the monsters stopped attacking. He raised his Purgatory Blade horizontally and pulled it abruptly.

Whoosh!

A gray blade aura that was burning with black flames flew towards the monsters. It was shaped like a fan and was very fast.

The monsters started to dodge. However, the speed of the gray blade aura was too fast. Many of the monsters did not manage to dodge it completely. Some of them were scratched by the blade aura.

In the end, they all disappeared.

The system kept sending Vincent notifications in his mind.

"Is there anyone else who wants to fight?" shouted Vincent.

The attack earlier did not actually look very special. However, the damage was very powerful. 50% of the psionic power in Vincent's body had been consumed.

Even though Vincent had his Godly King's Posture superpower, he still felt somewhat exhausted.

Vincent had no choice. If he could not scare off the group of special-class monsters, the next 3,000 meters would definitely be their burial ground.

Vincent did not know what kind of monsters he would encounter in the 3,000 meters. One thing for certain was that it would definitely not be peaceful.

Plus, there was still a group of special-class monsters behind him. The thought alone would make one shudder.

Although Vincent had the ability to kill special-class monsters, he could only handle one or two of them at the same time.

For anyone to go against a hundred special-class monsters at the same time was a death sentence. Even someone as powerful as Vincent would end up dying.

Instead of facing a death sentence, Vincent decided that it would be better to expend more energy and try to scare off the group of monsters. At the very least, their next path would be smoother and safer.

The monsters looked at each other. They could see the fear towards Vincent in each other's eyes.

They only thought of Vincent as a fat sheep. They had neglected that the fat sheep had terrifying combat strength.

A fat sheep may be very fat. However, one still needed to have the ability and capital to eat it.

The monsters knew that they did not have the ability to kill Vincent.

As Vincent took a step forward, the monsters scattered and ran back desperately. They were afraid that if they were one step slower, they would be killed by Vincent.

The monsters that hid in the dark also retreated quietly. They did not want to fight with a powerful human like Vincent.

Perhaps they could still fight him after becoming a lord-tier monster.

This was a common thought amongst the monsters.

Vincent did not know what the monsters were thinking. He also did not know that his actions would actually lead to the creation of a hundred lord-tier and even overlord-tier monsters in the future.

When they decide to fight against humans again, they will realize that humans were actually still quite weak.

Vincent let out a sigh of relief after seeing the monsters retreat. He was really afraid that the monsters would attack him regardless of the consequences. If that was the case, he would have to take a risk and release World-Cleansing Fire with all his might. There was a chance that he might lose control of it.

He turned around and chased after Chris and Nabil. He saw the two of them leaning against a huge rock not too far away. They were waiting for him. 𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The three of them reunited once again. Chris and Nabil listened to Vincent's explanation of how he had scared the monsters away. They all had surprised expressions on their faces. They then laughed out loud.

On the way to the cave, the three of them encountered many high-class and special-class monsters. However, because of Vincent, they managed to reach the cave safely.

At the same time, Angelina and the others were in danger.

Teacher Chris was still unconscious. Although most of the snake venom in her body had been expelled, she was still seriously injured and could not recover in a short period of time.

This was also the reason why Vincent chose the cave. It could be used as a temporary resting place for everyone.

Swire was flying high in the sky. He was firing out of his psionic pistols. They were like machine guns.

Avril stood in front. She did not use the mountain-splitting ax that she usually used. Instead, she was holding a huge psionic shield. The shield had a width of two individuals and its height was as tall as two individuals.

Angelina stood behind her. She also attacked using her psionic pistol.

Their opponent was a Gale Vulture.

Gale Vulture was a special-class monster. Its beak and claws were extremely sharp. Each of its attacks would cause terrifying damage. It could destroy gold and break jade. It also had the ability to control the wind. With a flap of its wings, it sent out two wind blades in an instant at an extremely fast speed. Its cutting power was even stronger than Vincent's Collapsing Mountain Strike.

However, because of Angelina, the Gale Vulture could not use its wind blades at all. On the other hand, Angelina could use her wind blades to attack it. This made it feel very sullen.

Chapter 97

Although Angelina and the others looked like they were suppressing the Gale Vulture, in reality, the three of them were actually the ones being suppressed.

The Gale Vulture had the upper hand.

Swire was concentrated on attacking the Gale Vulture with his psionic pistols. However, he missed all his shots.

It was the same for Angelina.

The battle had lasted for more than five minutes. However, the Gale Vulture had not even lost a feather, let alone get injured.

On the other hand, Angelina and her team's attack frequency, strength, and defense were all deteriorating.

"Why is Vincent not back yet?" asked Angelina. She was a little anxious.

Avril did not say anything. Her entire body was leaning against the psionic shield. She was using all her strength to block the Gale Vulture's attacks.

Blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth. Although she did not suffer any external injuries, her internal injuries were getting more serious after being attacked by the Gale Vulture.

Swire also felt like he was about to exhaust his psionic power. His Angel Wings felt powerless.

"Vincent!"

Just as Swire's wings disappeared, Vincent suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Vincent managed to catch Swire who had fallen from the sky.

Chris and Nabil were trying their best to recover their strength and psionic power. As they did not use much of their strength on the way to the cave, they had regained their ability to fight.

Although it could not be compared to when they were at their peak, it was still better than Angelina, Avril, and Swire.

Chris transformed into an Iron-Feathered Eagle and pounced on the Gale Vulture.

Nabil buffed Chris and prepared his 100,000 Lightning Strikes at the same time.

However, he decided to give up on his Holy Light Binding's superpower.

The Gale Vulture was too fast. He could not control it at all using Holy Light Binding. Rather than wasting his psionic power that he had spent so much of his effort to recover, it was better to use 100,000 Lightning Strikes to control the Gale Vulture's movement space instead.

The Gale Vulture was about to launch its final attack on Avril when it suddenly saw Chris flying towards it. It had no choice but to give up the attack. It then turned around to dodge.

Chris did not expect to strike the Gale Vulture in just one hit. After watching the Gale Vulture dodge his attack, he turned around and spread his wings.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Feathers shot towards the Gale Vulture like arrows. They were densely packed and covered a large area.

The Gale Vulture was shocked. It turned around and was ready to dodge.

At the same time, two bolts of lightning suddenly exploded where it took cover. The Gale Vulture was shocked and scared.

Although the lightning did not hit it, it still successfully blocked Gale Vulture's attempt to dodge.

Chris's feathers struck the Gale Vulture's left-wing. Its left-wing became meat paste in an instant.

"Quack!"

The Gale Vulture cried out unpleasantly and fell to the ground.

Nabil then took the opportunity to release 100,000 Lightning Strikes on it.

Boom!

Dust flew everywhere!

The Gale Vulture's head was smashed into pieces. Its corpse was left behind with one wing missing.

From the beginning until the end, Vincent did not make a move. He just stood at the side and watched. After Gale Vulture was killed, he walked forward and put the corpse into his system backpack.

He then looked at Chris, Nabil, and Swire and said, "Let's go back. We'll barbecue some Gale Vulture tonight."

When the three of them heard what Vincent had said, they looked f*cking sick. Was this the right time to say such things?

Vincent did not care about what they were thinking at all. He just walked towards the cave.

When they arrived at the cave, the six of them reunited. Although it had only been a few minutes, everyone shared the joy of reuniting after experiencing a life and death situation.

It was as if a lifetime had passed!

"We'll talk about it later. All of you should let your bodies and psionic power recover as soon as possible. Also, make sure you carefully analyze all the details of the previous battle. This will be helpful to you all," said Vincent.

Everyone knew that the most important thing was to recover. No one said anything. They found a place to sit cross-legged. They ate all kinds of potions and entered a state of cultivation.

After everyone had entered a state of cultivation, Vincent walked over to check on Teacher Chris. After seeing that her condition had stabilized and was beginning to improve, he let out a sigh of relief. He went outside to create a layer of protection to protect everyone.

Vincent did not forget to use the World-Cleansing Fire to completely isolate the cave from the mountain. This would prevent monsters that could burrow into the ground and dig holes from entering and attacking them.

For Vincent, the only drawback of this arrangement was that it would weaken the power of the World-Cleansing Fire if he used it later in the battle.

Previously, he had only used less than 10% of his World-Cleansing Fire superpower. Currently, he could only use less than 7% of his power.

Of course, if he had no other choice, he would still use World-Cleansing Fire with all his might regardless of the consequences. There would be no restrictions then.

However, in the present, Vincent had reached his limit in terms of control over his World-Cleansing Fire.

As night fell, the people who were recovering and training gradually woke up. Their injuries had healed after consuming potions. However, they still needed some time to recover.

They had also recovered their psionic power to different degrees.

Swire had leveled up to an intermediate-level superpowered user. He was finally catching up to the rest of them. This made him quite happy. He finally felt like he was no longer a burden to the team.

However, when he saw that Chris had also leveled up, his entire face turned sour.

He was growing, but the others were growing as well. Plus, they were growing even faster than him.

In fact, apart from Chris, his talent was the worst among the six of them.

There was no need to mention Vincent. Even if he compared himself to Avril and Nabil, he would still be inferior to them and not just by a little bit.

Avril, double A-Class superpower.

Nabil, triple A-Class superpower.

Swire, A-Class superpower.

Such a gap made him feel very useless. He was dragging the team down.

Although he may be careless, he was never bad in situations, especially if it was a big one.

He was very clear that if a person dragged the team down, it was very likely to lead to the destruction of the team. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝘳ℯ𝘢𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝑚

He could not understand why Sibis had chosen him to join the team and carry out such an important task with so many S-Class superpowered people.

Vincent was Swire's classmate for many years. He could tell at a glance that Swire was shocked.

He raised his hand to pat his shoulder. He then said in a serious tone, "Swire, you should know that no one in this team is useless."

"Since the teachers have chosen you, you must be indispensable to the team," said Vincent.

After hearing what Vincent had said, Swire revealed a faint self-deprecating smile.

He knew very well that Vincent was comforting him.

Chris was not as gentle as Vincent. He slapped the back of Swire's head.

"What are you thinking about every day? We've known each other for four months. We usually train together, go to the wild to hunt monsters, and even go to black holes. Don't you know how important you are to the team?"

Swire looked at Chris and pursed his lips.

Of course, he knew his role, but he believed that anyone else could do the same.

Although Chris and Swire had only known each other for four months, he still understood him quite well.

He looked at Swire, raised his hand, and slapped him again.

Chapter 98

"B*stard! Why can't you understand?"

Chris was pissed off. He pointed at Vincent and continued speaking to Swire.

"This guy, it's easy enough for him to beat us all up by himself. In your opinion, should we not team up with him?"

"Since Vincent is so strong, should he come to this damned place alone to carry out the mission?"

Vincent was stunned by what Chris had said. What kind of nonsense was this? Was he not trying to persuade Swire? Why was Vincent being dragged into this?

Chris glared at Vincent. Vincent just shrugged. He then turned around and set up a barbecue grill. He took out the Gale Vulture's corpse from his system backpack and started to chop it into pieces.

Chris looked at Swire and continued to speak, "It is because one person will eventually run out of energy! We're all together. We help to make up for each other's weaknesses. We're here to help each other. Only then can we grow in the long run and survive in all sorts of dangerous missions."

"You always think that you're useless, but you've forgotten the terrifying power that your superpower gives you."

"Nabil is the support in the team. Look at how many times he had used 100,000 Lightning Strikes during battle? Most of them were buffs and Holy Light Binding! It's because of him that our overall combat strength is far above our own."

"Avril is the warrior in the team, an all-rounded warrior! In every head-on battle, she's the first one to rush to the front. She had always taken the lead in dealing damage to the enemy! As she always goes head-on in battles, she restrains enemies and sets the environment for Angelina to deal damage."

"Angelina is the mage in the team, an all-rounded mage! Her understanding and use of the elements are the strongest among everyone. As long as she is given time, her damage would not be weaker than Vincent's!"

"Vincent, the team leader, an all-rounder. You've known him for many years. I don't need to introduce you to him. You should know him better!"

"Teacher Chris is the assassin in the team. She can instantly burst out with damage. At the same time, she protects Nabil and Angelina. Go ask Vincent. In a one-on-one situation, does he have the confidence to receive Teacher Chris's full-strength sudden attack?"

"My superpower allows me to temporarily take up the position of an all-rounder. However, I cannot replace Nabil. At the same time, I also have an advantage that Nabil does not have. I can possess any ability of any monster at any time!"

Chris took a deep breath and stared at Swire with his bright eyes.

"What about you? You're the air support in the team. You are in charge of detecting enemies in advance. You then inform us so that we can prepare earlier and not be caught off guard."

"Do you think that you are not important? If it were not for you, would you have let Vincent and I do such a thing? What if something unexpected happens and we don't have enough time for a rescue?"

"So, your role in the team is far more important than you think! So what if you have an A-Class superpower? You have us, and we need you! That's enough! Is there anything else more important?"

Chris softened his tone. He then raised his hand and patted Swire's shoulder.

"Swire, you're our eyes, and we're a unit. Your superpower level may not be high, but you're very important to this team."

"Think about it. The seven of us, no matter if we split up or fight together as a team, we can still form the most perfect combat style. We complement each other. That's the most important thing!" 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After Chris finished speaking, he ignored Swire and walked towards Vincent who was barbequing a kebab. He picked up a cooked kebab and ate it.

Avril glanced at Swire and said coldly, "You're very good." She then walked over to Vincent and picked up a kebab.

Angelina stood in front of Swire playfully and tilted her head.

"Don't forget, you fought with me and my sister. If it wasn't for you, do you think I would have been able to restrain the Gale Vulture's movements alone? Would I have been able to relieve my sister's pressure?" said Angelina.

She then walked to Vincent's side and took a kebab from Vincent. She took a bite and exclaimed that it was delicious.

Nabil pushed up his glasses and said, "Don't think so much. Go and eat. There's nothing to do right now. We'll study the matter of making equipment together. I feel like we used too much psionic ore last night."

Nabil then walked to Chris and snatched a kebab from him. He praised Vincent's cooking skills.

Swire stood still. He recalled everything that had happened since he arrived at Quinn. He realized that it was just as Chris had said. He was really important to the team.

Even if Chris had exaggerated his role, he was still able to at least give early warnings of danger to Vincent and Chris.

This was without a doubt.

"Wow! It's so delicious! Is there any more? I want to eat more!" said Angelina.

"No, there's only this much left. A Gale Vulture itself doesn't have much meat."

Vincent showed them what was in his hands.

"We don't care! You're the captain. You are in charge of solving our food and clothing problem!"

Chris, Angelina, and Nabil all said to Vincent in unison.

Although Avril did not say anything, she looked at Vincent with a faint smile.

When Swire saw that everyone was having a good time, he felt touched and relaxed instantly.

"And me! And me! I haven't eaten yet! Save one for me!" shouted Swire as he ran towards the crowd.

Angelina saw Swire running towards them and grabbed the remaining skewers. She stuffed them all into her mouth.

"No more! No more!" said Angelina.

Angelina could not speak clearly because her mouth was filled with food.

Soon, it was nighttime. Vincent could see that everyone had not fully recovered, so he took on the duty of keeping vigilant by himself. He was ready to do it until the next day.

Everyone naturally did not agree with Vincent's order. However, they could not stop Vincent from using his authority as the leader. They could only go to sleep or cultivate obediently.

The two jokers, Swire and Nabil, were in the cave researching how to make psionic equipment. They even brought their tools and operating table.

Everyone was so scared that they stopped them immediately.

Good heavens, everyone present had experienced what it was like when these two tried to make equipment. It could not be described as terrifying because the word was not enough to describe the "damage" that they had caused!

As everyone had objected, the two of them gave up on the idea of creating equipment and experimenting in the cave. Instead, they just gathered together and discussed theoretical knowledge.

Vincent guarded the entrance of the cave. He smiled and shook his head after looking at the two of them.

He could not remember how long it had been since he experienced such a comfortable and warm feeling.

"I really miss it!" muttered Vincent to himself softly.

Chapter 99

For the next few days, Vincent and his team did not leave the cave. On one hand, they were recuperating; on the other hand, Vincent was still busy investigating the levels and distribution of monsters around them.

Their mission was to kill a total of 200 lord-class and overlord-class monsters for a year. However, as the team's level was not very high, Vincent decided to focus on killing special-class monsters instead.

He would only consider killing lord-class monsters after everyone had become high-level superpowered users.

Currently, only Vincent, Chris, and Teacher Chris were high-level superpowered users. The others were only intermediate-level superpowered users. Swire had just advanced, so he still needed some time to stabilize.

Everyone on the team was a genius. It would not be a problem for them to become high-level superpowered users in a year's time. It was even possible for Chris and Vincent to become special-class superpowered users too.

Teacher Chris was about to become a special-class superpowered user. It should not be a big problem for her to become a special-class superpowered user in a year's time.

As for the mission, Vincent planned on waiting until he and Chris became special-class superpowered users before doing it.

At that time, even if the team had two low-level superpowered users, they would still be able to make up for it. At least, they would not lose any members.

That was what Vincent thought.

He was more concerned about everyone's safety compared to the mission.

After a few days of exploring, Vincent had a rough understanding of the distribution of the monsters within a 10,000-meter radius.

It was rather strange.

The cave seemed to be the center. There were four directions where the monsters could come from. The further away the monsters were, the higher their levels were as well.

Special-class monsters and high-level monsters lived within a radius of 3,000 meters from the cave. Between 3,000 meters and 6,000 meters, there were lord-class monsters and special-class monsters. The monsters all lived in groups. Overlord-class monsters lived between 6,000 meters and 10,000 meters. From time to time, there would be some strange lord-class monsters that could fight against overlord-class monsters.

The distribution of the monsters was completely in line with Vincent's plan for the next year.

Initially, the cave was intended to be a temporary resting site. However, it seemed like they had to be prepared to live in the cave for a long time.

Vincent used his World-Cleansing Fire to expand the cave. He created rooms for everyone to live in.

After all, there were differences between men and women. It was really inconvenient to live together every day.

On this particular day, Teacher Chris who had been unconscious for many days woke up. She smiled pleasantly after seeing that no one had died. They were all living happily in the cave.

She did not know how she got to the cave, but she still knew where she was.

"Teacher Chris! You're awake!"

Angelina was walking over to Teacher Chris to feed her some water. She did not expect Teacher Chris to wake up. She was very happy and quickly told everyone who was outside.

Teacher Chris's voice was a little hoarse. "Angelina, how long have I been unconscious for?" asked Teacher Chris.

Angelina counted the days and said, "About seven days."

When everyone heard what Angelina had said, they put down the items in their hands and walked over.

Swire and Nabil put down the equipment that they were making.

Boom!

Everyone gathered beside Teacher Chris. However, before they could say anything, there was a loud sound that gave everyone a fright.

"What's going on? Is there a monster?"

Teacher Chris quickly flipped over and wanted to sit up but was restrained by Angelina.

"Teacher Chris, don't worry. It's not a monster. It's the sound of those two guys trying to research weapons and equipment. They failed," said Angelina.

Teacher Chris blinked her eyes blankly and looked at Swire and Nabil who were both embarrassed.

"You two!" said Teacher Chris with a smile.

She then turned to look at Vincent.

"Vincent, what happened in the past seven days? Is everyone alright?"

Vincent shook his head slightly and explained, "Teacher Chris, as you were unconscious, we did not leave the cave. I was the only one who left the cave to investigate the distribution of the monsters in order to prepare our next plan."

Teacher Chris nodded. Vincent did not do anything wrong. When a situation was uncertain, it was necessary to find a relatively safe place to hide.

"What are your plans?" Teacher Chris continued to ask.

Vincent thought for a moment. "I plan on heading east and to only move within a range of 3,000 meters. I also plan to mainly focus on special-class monsters. When everyone's level has risen to advanced, we can continue moving forward then," said Vincent.

Following that, Vincent explained the distribution of monsters to Teacher Chris and his plan in detail.

Teacher Chris listened to him carefully. She was surprised to find out that Vincent had actually thought through everything thoroughly. He had thought of all the solutions that he could think of to deal with the unexpected.

"Very good. Then you can start to carry out this plan."

Teacher Chris approved of Vincent's plan.

"Let's wait a little longer. You'll need to fully recover first. With you around, it'll be more convenient for me to arrange everyone's positions in battle," said Vincent.

Teacher Chris knew her body well. It was not a big problem. She would need at most two days to fully recover.

"Alright, we'll do as you say," said Teacher Chris.

For the next two days, everyone went about their own business.

On the tenth day, Vincent and his team set out to hunt monsters once again.

Vincent made a plan based on everyone's situation. He divided the team into three groups. Teacher Chris and Chris would lead a group each. Vincent would lead his own group. His goal was to hunt special-class monsters that were alone.

He also planned on searching for lord-class monsters to gather information on them.

Although the monster guide had information about monsters, it did not provide sufficient information for users to truly fight against monsters.

Plus, in this unknown world, even a single mistake may risk death. Vincent could not accept such risk.

As the leader and the strongest person in the team, he felt responsible to investigate the monsters further.

Plus, he was the only one who could do it.

The first target chosen by Vincent was the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle. It had a dragon head, and its body and limbs were similar to a turtle.

According to the monster guide, the monster had high defense and attack. It had the ability to control water elements and absorb blood. The turtle shell was enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a top-tier lord-class superpowered user.

In other words, even an ordinary overlord-class superpowered user would find it very difficult to hurt it.

Its weakness was its belly. The best way to kill it was to attack its belly.

However, the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle knew its weakness very well. It would not expose its belly at all.

Usually, when encountering such a monster, the only way to kill it was to rely on earth-type superpowered users to launch attacks using earth thorns.

However, there were no earth-type superpowered users in Vincent's team. Therefore, they could not attack the turtle that way.

Nevertheless, Vincent still knew of a few ways to use his superpower to counter the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle. So, it was not a big problem after all.

Vincent wanted to test the actual combat strength of the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle, so it did not sneak up on it. Instead, he chose to face it head-on.

When the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle saw Vincent, it roared and rushed forward.𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Chapter 100

Vincent smiled faintly when he saw the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle charging towards him. He raised his Purgatory Blade and launched Jump Slash.

Vincent chose not to use his superpower as he wanted to collect battle data from the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle.

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle completely ignored Vincent's attack and collided with it.

Vincent was stunned after seeing the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle's reaction towards his attack.

"Even if you know that your defense is strong, you don't have to be like this!"?thought Vincent.

Bang!

Vincent's Jump Slash struck the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle's head and created a muffled sound.

There was not even a single mark on the turtle, let alone any damage.

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle roared once again and slapped its claw towards Vincent.

Vincent hurriedly dodged. Although he wanted to collect battle data from the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle, it was not rational for him to attack it head-on.

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle missed its attack and twisted its body. Its three-meter-long tail swung towards Vincent's head.

Vincent had used up all his strength and had not regained any new power. There was no way for him to dodge. He had no choice but to raise his Purgatory Blade to block.

Vincent swung his Purgatory Blade forcefully until his arm was numb. He was sent flying ten meters before he managed to stabilize his body.

He stared at the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle and shook his hands.

"Such a big body, and it's so flexible! What a huge force!"

Vincent looked at the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle in a new light.

He picked up his Purgatory Blade and charged forward again.

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle was confused. He looked at Vincent who was still lively.

In previous battles, when the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle swung its tail, its opponents would always end up with broken bones and tendons. Why was Vincent still fine? 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle did not know that Vincent's strength was actually much stronger than it. Vincent's strength improved drastically when he climbed the Will Stone Stairs.

"Collapsing Mountain Strike!" shouted Vincent.

When he was about five meters away from the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle, he used Collapsing Mountain Strike.

The transparent blade aura slashed towards the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle. The blade aura was more than 80 meters long, 20 meters tall, and more than five meters thick.

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle felt a wave of palpitations in its heart. It retracted its head, limbs, and tail back into its shell.

Boom!

The Collapsing Mountain Strike struck the turtle's shell and produced a muffled sound. The huge force sent the turtle's shell into the ground. The hole was estimated to be at least ten meters deep.

Even so, Vincent knew that his Collapsing Mountain Strike did not cause any damage to the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle.

His powerful attack did not harm the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle at all. This was enough to show how terrifying its defense was.

Although the Collapsing Mountain Strike was not Vincent's most powerful combat skill, it was the one he was most familiar with and the one he understood most.

After considering all the factors, Vincent's Collapsing Mountain Strike could actually be considered as one of the strongest amongst his combat skills.

It was not a problem for Vincent to use his other combat skills like Sky Splitter. However, he was not as familiar with it as compared to Collapsing Mountain Strike. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to grasp its power. This would in turn make it impossible for Vincent to gather the most accurate battle data on the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle.

If his battle data was inaccurate, it would be easy for problems to occur when other members faced this monster again.

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle slowly crawled out of the deep pit and shook its head in confusion.

Although the attack earlier did not cause any damage to it, it still felt dizzy.

"This is worth recording,"?thought Vincent. He was in deep thought.

"Roar!"

The Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle roared angrily. I felt really embarrassed after being beaten to the ground by such a weak human.

It was determined to teach Vincent a lesson.

It opened its mouth wide and spurted out black water. The liquid was as thick as a person.

Vincent was shocked and quickly dodged.

According to the Monster Guide, the water spurted out by the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle should be white.

However, the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle that he was facing spurted out black water.

Why was the water black?

As Vincent did not know the reason for it, he was afraid that something might go wrong. He chose to just dodge its attack in the meantime.

The impact of the water that was being spurted out by the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle was very strong. It could instantly shatter all psionic equipment below A-Class.

Fortunately, it could only attack in one direction. Otherwise, the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle would become a monster that could not be provoked by anyone below the overlord-class.

"F*ck!" cursed Vincent.

Vincent dodged and wanted to launch another attack. However, he suddenly felt a powerful wind-breaking force behind him. He turned around and saw that the black water shaped like a pillar had turned in the air and was heading towards him.

Vincent dodged again.

What a monster!

It had an attack that could turn!

Although the Monster Guide was accurate on the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle's appearance, the information provided was completely different in all other aspects!

Vincent was very glad that he had made a plan in advance. He was there to collect battle data on the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle.

Otherwise, if the entire team encountered a lord-class Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle, one or two of them would definitely die.

The black water pillar turned again and attacked Vincent.

Vincent frowned slightly. He had to get rid of this black water pillar as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would affect the battle too much if he continued to chase and fight it.

Fighting a lord-class monster was already so dangerous. The black water pillar behind him made the situation even worse.

Vincent looked at the water pillar that was charging towards him. He no longer chose to dodge it. He used Collapsing Mountain Strike once again and split the water pillar into two. The water pillars flew past both sides of his body.

Vincent turned to look at the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle. Its eyes were filled with ridicule.

Vincent was stunned. What did it mean? Was the monster looking down on him?

Special-class monsters already had intelligence. Lord-class monsters would naturally have higher intelligence. It was interesting to see such an expression on the turtle.

Vincent soon understood the reason the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle had such an expression.

A gust of wind blew from both sides. Vincent quickly pounced forward.

What was originally just a thick black pillar of water had actually transformed into two thinner black pillars of water. It was going to crash into him from both sides.

"They're separated!"

Vincent's eyes widened in disbelief.

The thinner black water pillar was very agile. It did not collide with Vincent.

Suddenly, the pillar turned mid-air and charged towards him again.

Vincent did not dare to continue attacking the water pillar. Who knew if there would be more water pillars? The speed would be faster, and the attacks would become more concentrated. It would be a fool's dream to dodge it.

Vincent executed his Jump Slash on the spot and jumped backward.

The two black water pillars crashed into the ground and left a huge crater.

"It should be over!"?thought Vincent.

Bang!

The two black water pillars emerged from the ground.

"F*ck! This is too much!"

Vincent was on the verge of collapsing. He was completely speechless.

How was he going to fight this?

The situation was not good, to begin with, and it had become even worse.

At that moment, the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle who was watching from the side roared. It was obvious that I was impatient.

It fixed its gaze on Vincent.

Vincent felt a chill down his back, but he did not have time to think much about it.

He dodged another two black water pillars. Before he could stabilize, the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle crashed into him.
