Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

Chapter 568 Training [3]



568  Training [3]

Shock rippled through this training planet.

'What just happened?!' Questions were raised.

"…" Most of the spectating Pugilists were too shocked to speak.

"He cheated!" One of them suddenly shouted.

Faces turned towards him and they were all conflicted, they also wanted to believe him but the fact that the Pugilist instructor didn't point the strange trainee out already indicated that he likely won fairly.

The only question was… how?

"There's no way his physical power can be so ridiculous, right?!"

"That's only possible for a Pugilist who already reached the body strength grade cap, and that's even above the average for those crazy geniuses who already attained that level!"

"There's no way he's at that level!" This Pugilist was finding it so hard to believe what he saw that he simply vented his disbelief with words.

Everyone ignored him, only some Pugilists in the single digits narrowed their eyes in shock at what they just witnessed.

Yes, the powerful Pugilists in this training planet were mostly on isolation, trying to perfect their calamity paths but they also came out at times.

Like the others, they also needed inspiration to take the last step.

7 Pugilists close to the very top were present today.

They watched with narrowed eyes in surprise, this was because unlike the others, they were able to see everything that happened with total clarity.

'He's strong!' They concluded.

[Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #405!]

[Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]

This confirmed it even further that Legolas did win fairly.

"Yes". Legolas answered immediately.

Even as he answered, he focused on the last few minutes of that battle.

Unlike trainee #612 that he obliterated in 1 strike, the female Pugilist was an opponent that perfectly countered his abilities.

If he was a normal Pugilist, he would have already learned specialized Pugilist techniques to tackle fast opponents with incredible agility but he was a Summoner.

Despite his incredible control level with his beasts in the final form, it was still a body created from a fusion, the synergy was nowhere close to the understanding that a Pugilist had of his powerful body.

It was incredibly hard for him to react to her attacks.

The only reason why he won was his powerful body.

He furrowed his brows. 'I need to create techniques to counter fast opponents, the body-gravity explosion is not full proof alone'.

Yes, the body-gravity explosion was his 2nd self-created technique in 7 days.

The months of devouring knowledge in the Nak national library were not in vain, theories from there mixed with the practical here helped him immensely.

The Body-Gravity Explosion was an offshoot of the Nature Connection.

Instead of simply tapping on the power of the natural neutral mana in the air to amplify his attacks and his weapon, he rather drew on the power of the natural neutral mana and condensed it around his body to thick concentrations.

He was able to saturate this concentration to a point of explosion.

In this state, when he willed it, the natural neutral mana would simply explode in a wave of energy but that was not all.

Afterall, there was gravity added to the name.

After achieving the body strength potential cap for a Grade B Super, compared to a normal human, Legolas' body was now incomparably heavy.

Gravity was related to weight.

The heavier he was, the stronger his gravity.

Using this concept from physics, he applied it to his self-created technique.

He didn't just condense natural neutral mana around his body, he also condensed them inside his body to an extent where his weight increased by almost 100 times!

It almost caused the floor of the combat arena to start cracking.

With such weight, his gravity was immense so when the explosion of energy is triggered, his gravity also affects it, creating a shockwave of immense force.

Few Supers in the Grade B realm could withstand this force.

9.9 times out of 10, they will be pushed backwards.

This was Legolas' true physical power.

Yet, it was just one facet of his true powers as a Super.

This time, it took even longer, almost 2 minutes for another trainee to accept but like expected, one accepted.

Afterall, this was a planet for Pugilist prodigies of the Nak State.

[Trainee #221 has accepted your challenge!]

This was a jump of almost 200 trainees, this was crazy!

Thud!

She landed close to the arena.

Yes, it was another female but this one wielded a gigantic halberd.

The Pugilist instructor completed the ritual.

"Trainee #1,021 and Trainee #221, enter the battle arena".

"You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".

"If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it's a draw".

DING!

21:05

She didn't rush to attack, instead she pointed at him and taunted.

They entered the arena and it started…

DING!

She didn't rush to attack, instead she pointed at him and taunted.

"Come…, give me the best you got".

"As you wish". Legolas did not hesitate.

-----

You have activated Self-Created Technique: Nature Connection!

----

BOOM!

He moved across the combat arena like a bolt of lightning.

She was not intimidated though, she was prepared.

With her gigantic halberd crossed directly in front of her body, she pushed with all her might and they finally collided.

BOOM!

Crack!

Her eyes widened in shock; her left shoulder blade just snapped!

Legolas was also shocked. 'She withstood my full-powered attack?!'

His eyes widened, excitement overwhelmed him. 'She's like me!'

'She also already achieved the body potential strength cap!'

He attacked with zeal and enthusiasm.

She felt the danger and she reacted.

Taking one step, she jerked her shoulders with force, pushing her shoulder blades back into place as her gray Pugilist energy erupted, recovering her injuries.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Halberd and spear clashed at a rapid intensity.

Legolas was shocked the more he fought her. 'She's a monster!'

'Though her techniques are clumsy compared to all the others that I've fought, her physical power compared to them is on a whole other level'.

'She would be even stronger physically than me if I didn't have my Supreme Talents, and if I didn't integrate with all of my contracted beasts!'

The more he fought, the more excited he became.

She dragged the duel out for 5 minutes which was already shocking to the spectators and the ending was even more shocking, Legolas won again.

As she fell unconscious, silence dominated this combat arena.

'He won… again!' These thoughts went through a lot of minds.

'He won against trainee #221!'

'He's been here for how long again?'

'Just a week!' These Pugilists were having a mental breakdown.

[Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #221!]

[Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]

Legolas took a deep breath. "Yes".

A few seconds later…

[Trainee #189 has accepted your challenge!]

DING!

The battle started.

This time, it was a male Pugilist wielding a single sword.

This Pugilist was the embodiment of flair and technique.

He moved like a gale, his sword strikes were as graceful as the wind, he was a thorn on Legolas' side for 40 seconds but he could not injure him.

Once Legolas figured him out, he obliterated him in mere 15 seconds.

[Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #189!]

[Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]

"Yes".

A few seconds later…

[Trainee #77 has accepted your challenge!]

Another great leap, the spectators could not believe what they were seeing.

They really underestimated this newcomer.

Against trainee 77 and his huge long sword, Legolas fought for an incredible 13 hours. In the end, he won by wearing his opponent out.

His 2 Supreme Talents proved superior in the end to any Pugilist advantage.

[Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #77!]

[Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]

Legolas took a deep breath. "Yes".

A few seconds later…

[Trainee #22 has accepted your challenge!]

Since the gap in power was even bigger at the higher ranks, and the disparity between the higher and lower ranks was as clear as day, a jump in the higher ranks indicated a ridiculous increase in difficulty but Legolas still managed to jump high.

Trainee #22 was one of the strongest Pugilists in this training planet.

DING!

The battle started and it lasted an incredible 3 days!

At the end of it, Legolas was left bleeding from all his orifices.

What mattered though was that he won.

The spectators were no longer shocked, they were now numb.

Only 1 thought now occupied their minds. 'How far can he go?'

[Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #22!]

[Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]

Legolas took an even deeper breath. "Yes".

A few seconds later…

[Trainee #15 has accepted your challenge!]

Top 20 trainees upwards were once in lifetime geniuses.

And Legolas' opponent countered his greatest weakness, speed.

He was thin for a Pugilist and wielded a pair of daggers with a python emblem; he had a frail physique and it almost seemed like he suffered from some deficiency but looks could deceive.

He gave off no aura but no aura was more dangerous.

Standing before him, Legolas felt like he was standing before an immensely powerful ambush predator and once the battle started, he was proven right.

DING!

Whoosh!

His speed exceeded every other opponent till now but unlike them, his induced no sonic boom, it was like he deleted sound from his surroundings.

He arrived in an instant and his twin daggers stabbed 100 times in 1 second!

Legolas' defense was obliterated, his heart was almost punctured!

BOOM!

Legolas activated his body-gravity explosion and rapidly retreated but like a Python stalking its helpless prey, this frail Pugilist followed him like a ghost.

And his daggers never seized attacking.

Legolas was receiving injuries every millisecond, and they accumulated into deadly injuries every second, his recovery speed simply couldn't keep up.

This frail Pugilist was deadly.

Legolas was pushed to the wall.

He felt tense, all his instincts screamed danger to him every moment.

More than once, he almost used his more advanced Summoner abilities out of reflex but it took his all to hold himself back, his life was truly threatened.

Despite this though, Legolas never gave up, he persevered in the danger.

He tried to think but his opponent's fast attacks disrupted his thoughts.

His mind which was his greatest asset was neutralized at this moment.

'This f*cker!'

'I'll kill you!'

'I'll murder you!' These were the only coherent thoughts that he could form.

In the end, 30 minutes of relentless attacks later, his life was now below 10% and this was when the feeling of death came closer than ever before.

Legolas was desperate and his desperation birth invention.

He got an epiphany!

Legolas' eyes widened. 'That's it!'

His brief thought opened him to a devastating attack that briefly penetrated his heart, Legolas felt like he was dying as he curled up in defense.

Despite curling up, the concept that he just comprehended replayed in his mind. He meditated on it rapidly, and he understood and assimilated it.

Everything happened so fast, it was just a moment but, in this moment, he changed.

When his eyes opened again, they no longer glowed red in exhaustion.

They now glowed golden.

It didn't matter to the frail Pugilist though, with his twin daggers, he pounced on his opponent, this time he went for the head, his prey was close to death.

The spectators focused.

Time seemed to freeze…

-----

[Congratulations! You have unlocked a new King Final Form!]

[You have triggered Demi-God Effect: Creation!]

[Temporary Creation Evolution triggered!]

[You have created a temporary Evolved Beast: Void Monkey King!]

You have activated Self-Created Technique: Nature Connection!

----

The twin daggers stabbed down, mere moments from hitting his brain.

Yet, this was when he transformed.

It happened instantaneously.

Legolas became a Void Monkey King!

"ARGHHH…!"

Growling, Legolas' grip on his Obsidian Spear became tighter even as his nature energy concentrated on its tip even as he stabbed with all his power.

The frail Pugilist's eyes narrowed but he doggedly continued his attack.

Daggers stabbed down, spear stabbed up, then…

BOOM…!!!

The clash that followed was like a clap of thunder…, and it ended.

The Pugilist instructor intervened.

All the spectators stood up. "Who won?"
