Chapter 325 - Expert Martial Arts System.

In the Fang's School of Martial Arts.

The battle of the Courtyard had ended a long time ago, and only dead silence was left, but soon, it was no longer quiet.

''Haaaaah!'' A young man with black hair opened his eyes with a slam. A loud and long breath escaped his mouth.

''I-I-I am back...'' Ichiro tried to feel his numb fingertips but only felt coldness, with warmth slowly returning to his body.

''Argh...'' He moved from lying on his back to lying on his side.

''HP...'' Ichiro said painfully.

Soon, a holographic bar appeared in front of him.

[HP: 1/525]

''Damn...'' He turned around to lie on his back again and asked urgently, ''System, do I have any Healing Potions left?''

[Only one]

''Give it to me...'' Once he finished his words, a glass bottle appeared in his hand. It was Epic Healing Potion, and once it is used, he has nothing left.

Without further ado, he moved the glass bottle closer to his lips, and once the cold glass texture was sensitively touching his lips, the liquid slowly started pouring inside his throat.

[+ 200 HP]

[HP: 201/525]

Most of the pain disappeared instantly. Also, the wounds and bruises around his bare chest disappeared.

His previous skinny body was no more. Instead, the previous muscular body with broad shoulders appeared.

He slowly sat up and looked at his hands, trying to make the layer of metal appear, but nothing happened.

''Sigh...'' He knew it would be only temporary, but he was still disappointed after finally breaking past the limits, which was impossible in his previous life.

*Step*

Ichiro quickly snapped his head towards the direction of the corridor, which was visible after the walls were broken. He saw a shadow of a figure, and it was missing a left ear!

Without wasting any seconds, he rushed inside the dojo and hid inside. The door of the dojo was right next to him while he was hiding behind a pillar, which could barely conceal his body, but it was enough.

Footsteps arrived in the courtyard. It was a figure of a bloodied man with his left ear missing.

He limped forwards, almost falling every now and then.

Adamas stopped right in front of a headless corpse, and he recognized him instantly.

''Xenor...'' He couldn't believe his eyes, ''W-What... Who killed you?'' He asked, like he was waiting for an answer, but didn't receive any.

He anxiously looked around the courtyard but saw no soul in sight. He clenched his fist and jumped to the roof of the building, where he could see the entire Fang's School of Martial Arts.

Adamas was becoming afraid that someone way above his league killed Xenor because there was no way he would think that Ichiro was the one who did such an unimaginable thing.

''I can't die yet... I still need to kill Mars.'' He looked away from the battlefield and looked towards the distance, where a glorious moon was.

With a burst of wind. Adamas disappeared from the roof and left without leave any trace behind.

Once he was truly gone.

Inside the dojo.

Ichiro sat down on the floor with a racing heartbeat.

[Host, previously was bad time, but you completed a Secret Quest. Do you want to see your rewards?]

Ichiro tried to calm his heartbeat before replying, ''Yes...''

*Ding* *Ding*

[Secret Quest Completed!]

[Rewards: 7050 XP - Protection Amulet - King Slayer Title]

[Protection Amulet: Blocks one lethal attack]

''Oh... These rewards are quite lame.'' Ichiro wasn't that impressed, but soon, something that he didn't expect arrived.

''Expert...'' Ichiro sighed and looked at the Stats, ''Maybe... I can reach Peak Martial Commander.''

He tapped the first stat and started assigning the stats.

[Strength: 435 -> 500]

[SP: 200 -> 135]

[Agility: 436 -> 500]

[SP: 135 -> 71]

[Stamina: 450 -> 500]

[SP: 71 -> 21]

[Dexterity: 420 -> 441]

[SP: 21 -> 0]

After he was done assigning, he knew that the Peak Martial Commander was still some distance away, but he felt stronger than ever before.

In just a few hours, he has almost doubled his strength.

But, he didn't feel happy; instead even more anxious to grow his strength as much as he could.

[Host, you need to stabilize your strength before you try to rise up ranks. Your body is not balanced and might cause permanent damage]

''Haahhh...'' Ichiro swiped the bangs out of the way and stood up with his bones cracking, ''I will be fine... I know what my body can handle and whatnot.''

[But, Ho—]

''Enough.'' Ichiro interrupted the System and continued, ''Have some faith. You might be more intelligent than I am, but I know my body better than anyone.'' He clenched and loosened his fist over ten times and continued, ''I am master of my body...''

He breathed through his nose and left the dojo with last words that made an everlasting impression on the System.

''My body is something only I can command.''
