Chapter 49

“The user upgraded the Battle Skill [Basic Healing] to Level 5.”

After healing Lor, Yale gave her another slash that sent her outside the stage heavily injured, but without any risk for her life.

The audience was shocked again, Lor was shameless, and a lot of people hoped that she got beaten by someone, but Yale’s ruthlessness impressed them.

Yale who had avoided injuring his opponent before had left permanent scars on Lor’s body and heavily hurt her while tossing her out.

To a girl like her who liked to seduce and cheat boys, that was the worst punishment possible.

“The winner is Yale, congratulations!”

The referee announced Yale’s win triggering more rewards from the Dynamic Quest.

“Dynamic Quest reward for the fourth win: Vitality increased to 19 points.”

“Dynamic Quest reward for the fourth win: Dexterity increased to 20 points.”

“Dynamic Quest reward for the fourth win: Origin Points increased to 18/18 points and restored.”

The rewards were better than the previous ones, instead of only giving one point increase, it gave two.

Yale was nearing to the 3-star mortal realm at top speed, but his mind was still focused in the final battle.

“You dared to injure my girlfriend! You will suffer a destiny worse than death!”

Heruk jumped into the stage to attack Yale, but the referee stopped him.

“You have first another battle; now it isn’t the time to battle with him.”

“My rival in the other battle just give up, right?”

Heruk said it with a loud voice.

“I give up.”

The girl who had beat George before, gave up the match fearing that Heruk would get angry with her.

“Now there shouldn’t be any problem right?”

The referee disliked the way Heruk acted, but as a referee he was impartial.

“The final battle starts!”

Heruk used the same strategy as in the battle against Zack, he ran at top speed until Yale and caught him by his neck.

Yale stood still without doing anything, and everyone thought he was finished.

“In the end, you are only another weakling! Did you want to revenge your friend? You will suffer the same destiny!”

Heruk ripped off Yale’s right arm; he did it in the most painful way.

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 5.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 6.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 7.”

Then Heruk did the same with the left arm.

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 8.”

“The user upgraded the Passive Skill [Pain Tolerance] to Level 9.”

Yale was suffering more pain than one could imagine, his Pain Tolerance leveled up without stop.

However, when Heruk was laughing and about to starting ripping Yale’s right leg, Yale disappeared.

The audience was shocked when they saw Yale reappear in his original position without a single scratch.

Yale hadn’t felt confident about avoiding Heruk’s first attack, so Yale used Absolute Protection just around his body at the same moment the referee spoke.

He suffered the pain of having his limbs ripped out, but in the end, all the damage disappeared from the flow of time, even if the levels of Yale’s Pain Tolerance remained because he had felt the pain even if there was no injury.

Yale didn’t lose his time and executed his Water Battle Armor in full strength at the same time he activated Bloodline Force.

With Bloodline Force, Yale’s Strength and Agility points were the same as a peak 4-star mortal, a full realm ahead of Heruk.

However, Yale didn’t end with that; he also merged his Spark spell into the Origin Skill electrifying all the water.

Finally, he executed Tri-sparkling Sword towards Heruk.

Heruk was still shocked at Yale’s disappearance when the Combined Skill reached him.

That was the main reason Yale supported the pain and waited all the ten seconds, the more Heruk immersed into his enjoyment of torturing Yale, the more shock he will have when Yale disappeared.

He barely managed to block it with his body before the second strike arrived.

Heruk was the type of practitioner who only relied on his body and didn’t like to use any weapons.

Heruk focused on spells and Combined Skills to improve his body; his real strength surpassed the peak of the 3-star mortal realm.

As Heruk was preparing himself to block the third strike another strike came from the other direction.

Yale had created an ice sword in his left hand and also executed Tri-sparkling Sword; he was using the same Combined Skill two times simultaneously.

Heruk was unable to defend, and even his reinforced body suffered some wounds.

However, the spells and Combined Skills he used to reinforce his physical body made him avoid receiving significant damage.

Yale wanted to cripple him, but that wasn’t easy, and he had already used almost all his Origin Points.

Even if Heruk wasn’t injured physically, his pride was deeply hurt, and his hate towards Yale become enormous, he swore that he would manage to kill Yale no matter what.

Heruk needed to step backward due to Yale’s attacks, and Yale didn’t waste that chance.

He turned the ice sword in his left hand into a bow and used the sword in his right hand as an arrow to shoot to Heruk’s body.

Even if Yale was using it as an arrow, as it was still a sword, the Sword Mastery bonus and Sword Aura applied to the attack.

The arrow-like sword stabbed into Heruk’s body sending him to the limit of the stage.

Electrified water covered that sword, so Heruk’s body turned numb after it got stabbed into him. Even if his external body was enormously reinforced, his inner body wasn’t.

However, Yale attacked again after shooting his sword.

He used the Water Battle Armor to form a lot of thin swords; it would be better call them rapiers.

Yale used them as arrows to shoot towards Heruk, the effects were a bit lower as only magic formed those swords and they didn’t have a solid base, but the quantity made up for the quality.

The swords stabbed into Heruk’s body, but they didn’t hit randomly, Yale shot towards essential checkpoints when circulating Inner Qi and magic, even if that wouldn’t be enough to cripple him, the contrast of ice and electrified water would disturb his body enough to make his path harder to walk in the future.

Furthermore, that kind of injury was difficult to heal because it was difficult to detect completely. Unless someone used Time Healing that could treat any wounds without knowing what’s injured, Heruk would have a rough time in the future.

Of course, Ange and Yale were the only two in the academy who could use Time Healing, and neither of them had plans to help Heruk.

Yale wasn’t able to entirely cripple him like he wanted to do, but at least managed to put more obstacles in Heruk’s future.

As Heruk was already a bit late in advancing his realm, that difference Yale created could make the difference and cut his path towards Rank 1.

At that moment, Yale didn’t know anything about what would happen after the tournament. If he knew, he wouldn’t care about Heruk’s future as Swordmad had already decided that Heruk wouldn’t return alive to the academy.

After getting stabbed by that many swords, Heruk fell from the stage losing the battle.

Furthermore, Heruk was unconscious as he wasn’t used to pain and the pain he felt was even more significant than the one he inflicted on Yale before.

The inner body was always a weak spot in the mortal rank, no matter how strong the outside body was, the inner part of the body couldn’t be strengthened.

Yale wanted to let Heruk suffer as much pain as possible as revenge to Zack and also because he had to endure a lot of pain while using Absolute Protection due to Heruk’s ruthlessness.

Furthermore, the main reason he chose a bow as his last weapon was also a tribute to Zack who loved archery.

Heruk had despised archery before, so Yale felt that the best way to humiliate him and at the same time honor his friend was winning with archery.

Of course, Yale didn’t use normal arrows, but there wasn’t written in any book that arrows were the only projectile that could be used in archery.

“The winner of the tournament is Yale!”

“Dynamic Quest reward for the fifth win: Vitality increased to 20 points.”

“Dynamic Quest reward for the fifth win: Origin Points increased to 20/20 points and restored.”

“Dynamic Quest reward couldn’t be awarded completely due to realm restriction. When the user advances his realm, the remain rewards would be awarded.”

Yale reached the peak of the 2-star realm and he could already breakthrough whenever he wanted, he only needed to practice the Origin Path Training Method once.

After the referee announced the result of the battle, everyone applauded Yale, his display of power really shocked all the audience.

Especially how he seemed to had lost just at the start to reappear after seconds without any wounds, almost all of them thought that Yale had used an incredible illusion spell.
