GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?
Chapter 156 Finally Done With The Second Stage Of Training.Then he moved on to amplification casting. The art of casting multiple spells and linking them so that act on another and create an amplification effect. It can be within the same spell which is easier or between different spells which is more difficult.
Fireballs can be amplified by air gusts or wind cyclones. It can also be amplified by another fireball spell. The more similar spells combine, the more unstable the spell becomes, but it is still easier to amplify a spell with another exact one than a different spell.
It is worthy to note that some spells that can't be multi-casted can be used in a delicate combination to amplify each other. They can't be savages at the same time but they can be cast one after the other to amplify their effects. It's all about timing and coordination.
He is required to chain four spells together to pass amplified casting. This usually takes months for the challengers to determine a proper combination and to actually execute it. He simply recycled the four spells he used for multi-casting. Their combination created a small cyclone of deadly ice and shale which took him a minute to accomplish. He moved on after that.
He began the last regimen with the least enthusiasm. He just wasn't feeling pumped up by the challenges. The Mind pressure regimen requires him to perform some straining physical acts while being under a constant spiritual attack. The physical acts require finesse, such as running on water and balance challenges, but the Spiritual attack will make it highly difficult to concentrate.
It is supposed to help the challengers develop competent spiritual resistance and strong mental defenses. Their ability to focus and concentrate will also receive a boost through the exercise. Soverick could never receive a boost from something like this. Even transcendents cannot receive a boost from it much less the soul of an Origin god. He simply went through the motions and called it a day.
"I am finally done," Soverick said as he closed the training room behind him.
"Yes, you are. You have completed the required regimen to move on to the next stage. Your performance has broken all rules and conventions. It seemed to me that the Spiritual techniques training wasn't a challenge to you. So I hope you will find a challenge in your coming days." Wendy said.
"Thank you. That's a nice thing to say. I guess I'll see you around."
"I doubt that. My job is done with you. But anything can happen. Goodbye." The golem said then walked away.
Soverick decided to see his siblings before moving to his next training stage. He isn't visiting them to alleviate his boredom but to check up on them. He might not see them again until he finishes his next stage if he doesn't check up on them now. Mihila will appreciate the effort and he can always use the fact that he checked up on her children against her in the future. He will save it up and use it to win himself some benefits from her.
He went straight for Litori's room but no one was around. Ghaster wasn't around either. He decided to check up on them in the preparatory training room. It was then that he noticed some people running in a certain direction on his way to the preparatory training room.
He isn't one to go along with public currents but he was intrigued. These people must be attracted by something which caused them to gravitate toward a single direction. In a place like this without any form of entertainment, something like this might interest him too. So he went in the direction that everyone was moving in.
He came upon a large crowd of about a thousand people in a large room. He was surprised because he didn't know that there were this many people in the academy. The room resembled a colosseum with seats surrounding a raised platform that appears to be a fighting ring.
"It is an arena. Why have I never heard about it?"
He sat at the edge of the arena, a position that is almost 100 meters from the fighting ring. His eyesight is good enough to see clearly what's going on at the center of the arena. His hearing is also good enough to pick out little bits of information from the cacophony.
The ability to communicate with divine sense didn't curb their enthusiasm to shout and cheer. The range of the divine sense is very short at this stage of refinement while sound waves can travel farther. There are some things that are better said with the mouth rather than the divine sense.
From what he could gather, this event is a rare occurrence. The arena can only be opened by someone in the third stage of training, which soverick has just qualified for. The stage is called the fighting proficiency stage.
The trainees at this stage challenge one another and they use this arena for fighting. Their challenges happen a few times In a month and only on such occurrence can these people entertain themselves a little. It is why more and more people were coming into the arena to watch the fight. He also heard talk about a blue battle sage monkey boy that has been getting trashed here for the past few months. He suspected that they are talking about Ghaster.
He focused on the ongoing match. There were two battle sage monkeys in the ring duking it out. One of them had blue fur and was wearing a light battle attire that is more of straps than defensive wear. His opponent is another battle sage monkey dressed in a red robe that matched his fur. The opponent had long fur on its head that did nothing to help Soverick in determining their sex.
If there was a way to determine sex among battle sage monkeys, then Soverick doesn't know it. Sex difference begins to disappear in most races when they reach the transcendent level. That is also the lowest level necessary for a bloodline.
Transcendents can change how they look, their height, weight, and muscle mass easily as long as they have enough energy. This change is temporary but it becomes permanent by the time an organism reaches the origin god level. Only if a race's divine ability is linked to their sex do sex differences prevail.
The refinement process affects different races in different ways. One of its effects is physical features. The original variant of battle Sage monkeys only develop visible female features such as mammary glands when they are pregnant. At any other time, you won't be able to tell a male apart from a female unless you check their genitalia.
He only knew that Kayla is a female because Ghoto told him. Mihila didn't even exhibit any physical changes when she was pregnant apart from a swollen stomach. Thankfully, she had evolved to a stage where her babies did not need more from her in order to survive. Or else they would have starved to death as babies because their Mon wasn't producing milk.
So Soverick can't tell battle sage monkeys different sex apart but he doesn't care. Sex hardly matters in this society. It certainly doesn't when you become an Origin god.
The blue fur warrior held an ax in both hands and he fought with wild abandon. He was a hurricane of movement. He attacked in a flurry of strikes with each arm always moving in tandem. But he always missed. Most of his strikes impact the ground instead of his opponent. The ground would crack with the force of his blows but would then heal up. The fighting ring had been enchanted with self-healing properties.
His opponent with the long curly red fur wielded a single blade which he used to great effect to resolve the enemy's attacks. Unlike the blue warrior that was moving with the momentum of a storm, the red warrior was calm and precise. But there was the strength behind each of his blade strikes, enough to block the ax in a direct blow.
They crossed weapons many times in a shower of sparks. The blue warrior was aggressive in his stance and his actions. He pressured the red one again and again. The red one gave up ground but always managed to escape unscathed. The red warrior dodged what blows he could dodge and parried what he couldn't.
They fought to the wild cheers of the audience. The audience whistled and shouted. The arena was filled with the infectious excitement of violence. Those in the audience probably have a lot of pent-up emotions due to frustrating training regimens.
Soverick found it all amusing.
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ "This isn't so bad."
The fight is an outlet for those pent-up emotions. He knows how frustrating the Obstacle Course was for him, so these people needed the outlet more than him. Anyone will be frustrated by the lightening fast attack of the titan frogs.
