Chapter 22: Proving Ability

Immediately, two red dots appeared in the robot's eyes as it directed his gaze to Khan who also moved in the next second.

BANG

A punch tore through the air as Khan lowered his waist, and punched at the robot's head which quickly dodged his head to the side.

Immediately, Khan retracted back his right arm before bending to the side as his left hand blasted outward delivering a solid punch to the robot's stomach.

RIIIP

A minor shockwave rippled where his fist made contact and the robot was immediately lifted its feet smashing into the wall.

BANG

"You have cleared the stage!" The AI voice rang out as he stood upright and turned back to look at Audrey without saying a word.

Audrey's eyes flashed in shock at what happened as he watched an ordinary mortal easily take care of a third-rank stage robot! It was simply impossible and unheard of.

Yet his eyes quickly regained his calm as he hmphed instead. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"Barely worthy enough..." Immediately he inputted some codes into the holographic in front of him as the robot that Khan defeated slowly entered back into the space on the ground and in front of Khan another robot also came out.

"This one is at the fifth star rank stage. Don't die quickly, boy..." Audrey said but Khan only snickered as he got into his fighting position.

Immediately the red dot in its eyes flashed as they both moved instantaneously.

BOOOM

A robotic leg kicked forward towards Khan who took a step to the side dodging the kick before his right hand punched forward with speed.

CLANG

The sound of metallic collision as Khan's hands jerked backward, but he was quick to regain himself, slipping back to his fighting position.

The robot managed to block his punch by covering its face with both arms.

'It's tough...'

But unknown to him what Khan said was the truth. Khan had a single defect and that is his inability to cultivate. Instead, he improves his strength using his system which mainly implemented Nanobots to grow his strength instead of Mana.

This caused a state of confusion for Khan as he didn't know what stage his level of strength was. But with the robots, he can slowly tune up their strength and when he arrives at a particular level he can't defeat them. Then he'll know his level of strength compared to gene awakeners.

"So is this enough to convince you or should I keep destroying them?" Khan asked as he slowly untied the tie from his hand before knotting it back to his neck.

Honestly, he hated wearing a tie but he had no choice. It was the necessity of business.

"Ok. I'll give you the mission, but only under one condition..." Audrey finally conceded as Khan raised his eyebrow.

"And what is that?"

"There is a group of four other adventurers who also signed up for the Mission. You'll be joining their group?" Audrey said but all he got was a questioning look from the young man.

"The lowest of them is at the D-rank while the highest is at B-rank. I believe you'll be safer with them..." Audrey finally revealed as Khan nodded.

"I agree to the condition..." Khan said, not sparing it much thought.

He could simply abandon the group on arriving in the ruins if they turned out to be a hindrance to his plan. Then he'll simply cut them off.

"Great..." The duo finally exited the training room as Khan watched Audrey get to work, dipping his device into the different device on the table before passing him his card.

"You have successfully been registered for the mission. Don't forget it's two days from now at 8:00 in the morning. The location will be sent to you soon."

"Thank you..." Khan said with a smile as he turned back, his hand reaching for the knob and he unlocked the door, moving out but before he could completely step out of the office.

"So, how did you get those robots?" Khan asked once again.

"I made them myself. How about a deal? If you survive this mission, I'll help build a personal training room just like mine in your future house for free, but if you fail, then..."

"Then what?"

"Then the dead don't bite, do they?" Audrey said with a smirk drawing an even larger smirk from Khan.

"Deal..."

And the door zipped to a close, the sound of footsteps rapidly fading away.
