Chapter 137: Afraid of Death

Earlier Today,

During the meal, Mike looked at Mad Beast Emperor and asked "Master, I have a question that I wanted to ask. Currently, I have some powerful skills that can do a lot of damage. But, there might be a situation where I would need an extremely destructive attack. Can I create such attack with my cultivation?"

Hearing his question, Mad Beast Emperor and Daniel looked at each other, smiling. Mad Beast Emperor turned his head at Mike and asked "Have you ever thought of using a lot of ability energy in a skill?"

"I have but won't I burst due to the massive amount of ability energy?" Mike nods his head and asked.

"Yes, you will. But have you ever checked the limit?" Mad Beat Emperor nods his head and asked.

"....Nope! I cherish my life so I never tried." Mike hesitated for a moment before being completely honest with him.

"That means you are just a coward. Well, it is not a bad thing to be a coward but sometimes you need to step up and do something necessary. If you overuse the ability energy in a certain skill, the impact of that skill will increase by a lot."

"But, your body parts won't be able to handle it. Though, I bet you can use it to increase the strength of your skills by two or maybe three times considering your current defense. But make sure, you use an immense amount of ability energy in a large-range attack." Mad Beast Emperor explained while eating the meat with his fork.

...…

At the moment,

"Hahaha! That's my disciple for you." Mad Beast Emperor holds his belly and starts laughing crazy. Daniel wasn't surprised by him either. He knows Mike is emotionally weak. And, giving him such a trial really pisses him up.

Fire Emperor and Emperor Lewis stare at Mad Beast Emperor speechlessly. Although they can't see the face of the lady on the screen, they can understand her relationship with Mike. After all, Narrator gave them some tips.

Unfortunately, her face was blurred. Although this is a trial match, it still maintains the privacy of participants. After the first level was complete, Mike didn't move since he knows that Jenny was an illusion. He also understood the trial's meaning in a matter of seconds.

It's like his brain worked very fast when he was left with two choices. After all, he was determined about his action.

After few minutes, the narrator's voice rang 'Participants, please look at the right, and then look at the left!'

Mike was a little irritated by the same kind of instruction. But, he still turned at his right and then at his left. After looking at both sides, his expression was very unnatural. On one side, it was his mother, on another side, it was Jenny.

He completely stopped focusing on the narrator's words and sucked out the blue brute essence in his fist. The moment blue brute essence entered his fist, he pressed his foot on the ground. The overwhelming strength pushed him several meters away.

The moment the narrator finished his speech, the train appeared two miles away from him. It was a hundred-meter long train, traveling at the speed of a hundred-meter per second. If he wasn't wrong, then it would reach crash into one of them in thirty seconds.

So, he must do something within thirty seconds. The blue brute essence entered his fist, but it didn't stop there. He continued till half of his ability energy was consumed. He was going beyond the limit set by his master.

At this moment, he was completely mad. The moment his body traveled one mile through fifteen leaps, he appeared in front of the train. He pushed his right fist forward as it strikes the front of the train. The lightning coiled from his fist and entered the train, while the powerful impact stopped the train.

"Tyrant King of Lightning- Brute Lightning Punch"

Bang! Crack! Crack! Boom!

The entire train exploded from inside and crumbled into the pieces.

"Huh!" When Mike saw the entire train crumbling into pieces, he was astonished. He looked at the train slowly turning into blue particles until it disappears.

'Did my strength increased by this much?' Mike speechlessly looked at his fist and murmured. Suddenly, his eyes widen as he muttered 'My strength is almost equal to Lauren. No, if I use Brute Force, it is even better than hers.

'Five hundred plus strength is almost equal to tenth rank soldier. And, my unique ability also increases my strength by six hundred fifty. Does that mean I am even stronger than Lauren? No wait, she has an A Storm Dragon Blood innate ability. If she uses it, her strength will definitely soar.'

'Even so, my brute force is SS rank and the same goes for my lightning. I wonder if I increase the brute force to SSS, can I get thousand plus strength.' While thinking about it, he slowly returned back to his position.

The spectators were left speechless by his act. First, he didn't choose any of the two options. Second, he smashed a train that was moving at the speed of hundred meters per second. Third, he used the lightning element.

For god sake, they didn't know about that. And, why can anyone have three innate abilities? Most of them took that lightning element as an inherited innate ability. But, an S-Rank inherited innate ability was still rare.

If he had this element, why didn't he show it previously? Many spectators had these questions in their hearts. At this moment, Mad Beast Emperor was also shocked as he thought 'Did his innate ability reached SS rank? Both of them?'

'So, he spent ten billion dollars for this. Well, it is not a bad thing. Now, he should be at the top of High-Level Genius. But, he is still far from most of the superior-level geniuses. I hope he won't meet them any time soon.'

At this moment, the narrator's voice rang on Mike's mind 'Let's move on to the third level. This level has a different meaning. Unlike the first two levels, this is the place where you need to show your worth.'

'My worth?' Although Mike was pissed because of this trial, he didn't want to lose. So, he swallowed his anger and tried to focus on the trial. The surrounding around him also changed into a primitive cave.

'You need to create a skill within six hours. That would be enough to show your worth. Using Enlightenment God Stone isn't allowed.' The narrator spoke in his mind as slowly the voice fades away.

'Create a skill huh! This time things are getting serious. But, I believe I can do it.' Although Mike wasn't that smart he had some basic ideas in his mind.

'Lightning Net, Lightning Bomb, or Lightning Claws.' But Mike was still undecided on which to choose.

'Lightning Net can work as a supportive skill. Though I don't see many uses of Lightning Net, in some cases it can be used such as trapping the opponent or capturing the enemy. To make the Lightning Net, I need to decide on the size of a Lightning thread.'

'Each thread needs to be immensely durable. That means I need to channel my own physical strength into each thread. It would definitely need a lot of precision. More importantly, I need to figure out the size of the Lightning Net before using it otherwise I might end using less or ability energy.'

Mike puts his hand on the chin and started thinking. He didn't stop on Lightning Thread alone.

'Lightning Bomb is an effective long-range attack. Normally a bomb explodes on the material inside of it. Fire is the most common element that can explode. Normally, everything can explode but fire explosion creates much more destructiveness.'

'If I am going to try creating a bomb that can rival fire explosions, I need to use the Lightning Element attributes to their fullest. Extreme hotness, Paralyzes, Destructive, and Speed. These are the four most common attributes of lightning.'

'If a Lightning Bomb explodes, it needs to be destructive. Though the people might have a chance to escape since it can't generate flames to engulf them. But on other hand, it can release the bolt of lightning with an incredible speed that can pass through a body of a person.'

'Since lightning possesses extreme hotness especially after the explosion, it can easily pierce or burn a person's body. And, if I keep the explosion low, I can change the impact. Instead of burning them, the lightning bolt can paralyze them if it is used with lesser power.'

'Finally, it is Lightning Claw. Generating lightning in the shape of a claw for close combat might be a useful trick. If I can make the claw with a single bolt of lightning then it can be sharp. But that means I need to maintain ten bolts of lightning in my finger.'

'Normally, my innate ability won't hurt me. But if I couldn't control the precision of ability energy every time I use it, then it might start burning or even destroying my finger. That can be extremely hazardous. I need to find a solution for it.'

This got him into deep thinking. Suddenly, Mike couldn't help but remember his master's words on the second day of his training.
