Chapter 288 Max Spiritual Energy; Challenge

Chapter 288 Max Spiritual Energy; ChallengeThere looked to be a few stronger kids fighting these brutes. They were the more daring ones. 

Some may have called them foolish instead. These hulking lizardmen had thick backs, unable to be penetrated by most weapons.

Without losing his calm, Lyrian approached these beasts and jumped up, leaping over the crowd around them.

While in the air, he surveyed that over 6 students had been eliminated by the three final lizardmen. 

They were the strongest and quite close together. Although, they didn't seem to like fighting in a team like the spearmen.

As everyone looked in surprise, Lyrian landed on the back of an axeman who was focused on the students in front of it.

It immediately noticed the boy on its shoulders and tried to swing at him, but Lyrian wasn't going to let that happen.

Enhancing his hands, he jabbed his blade down the neck of the saurian. The blade sliced cleanly through its flesh and bones as if it were butter, and came out with a fountain of blood.

Lyrian pulled this lizardman down by its head, quickly carving out its eyes and horns.

With blood splattered over his face and torso, he moved on to the other two. They attempted to swing at him with quite dangerous force, but Lyrian was able to outmaneuver the first one easily.

Stepping to the side, Lyrian unleashed multiple stabs into the lizardman's chest. As it fell, Lyrian jumped up and kicked it in the jaw so it fell backward.

Whilst still in the air, Lyrian noticed something odd happen with the lizardman's body.

It began to get cleaved in half by something, as time felt as though it slowed. That something was the head of an axe.

It was headed straight for him next, through the lizardman's body--as he was right in front of it.

Since he was in the air, he couldn't dodge it quickly either, and he hadn't anticipated the axeman to attack through its own kin's body.

This caught him off guard, and his eyes widened as he thought of what to do.

This situation was actually dangerous. He tried to Enhance the side of his torso, as that was where the axe was slashing toward but realized that not enough mana would go there fast enough to protect him.

Then, he caught a glimpse of the lizardman wielding this axe in between the slit of the two parts of the dead lizardman's body.

"Shadow Puppet!"

His shadow lunged out, grabbing onto that lizardman at once as his axe halted right where it was, mere inches from cleaving right through Lyrian.

"That was close..." He muttered under his breath, taking his hands and mimicking a swinging motion toward his own head as he fell to the floor.

The lizardman swung its axe right into itself, decapitating its head. It bounced on the floor a few times, before rolling right to Lyrian's feet.

He was now drenched in blood but obtained the materials of all three of the last lizardmen.

By this point, all the students in the dungeon were gathered around him. He slashed his blade in the air, ridding it of blood as he resheathed it.

Turning around, he finally faced all of the students.

"You motherfucker! Are you retarded!?"

And the words began to spout...

"You have to share those!"

"What are you thinking!? This exam doesn't allow you to take all the materials for yourself!"

"Apologize and split the materials if you value your life!"

As they yelled, they took out their weapons and pointed them at Lyrian.

After a few seconds, he began walking to the front of the crowd.

"Lyrian... if you aren't planning to split those materials." Kaith had a serious expression on his face. "We won't have any choice but to take them from you."

The blue-robed kid stepped up next to him. "You don't possibly think you can take all of us, do you? MVP or not, you are still human." He emphasized the 'all'. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Fine," Lyrian stated out of the blue.

"Haha! That's right!" Students began to roar.

"Good thing you came to your senses!"

"No matter your title, you have to realize your limits. It was a good decision you made." Kaith quipped.

At that moment, Lyrian suddenly unsheathed his sword and held it by his side.

As soon as he did this, the students were thrown off.

"I don't want to fight..." He paused, confusing the kids even more since he just took his sword out.

"But if it's a fight you want, then so be it." A chilling spiritual aura began to slowly ooze out of him--already deterring a lot of students.

"All of you versus me. Let's fight for these materials." With that, a dangerous burst of lethal spiritual energy erupted out of Lyrian's figure, enveloping every student's body.

Lyrian didn't hold back this time, allowing his creatures to showcase their entire spiritual prowess.

The power was unlike last time, it was levels above.

Hairs stood on end, and the skin of every student felt a slight burning sensation.

Kaith's eyes were stretched wide with shock. He expected a scary power when he first felt that energy oozing out of Lyrian, but this was not even close to his expectations.

It tore through his expectations like a sheet of paper and rose uncountable times above it.

'This... is not the power of a first-year student. How is it possible?' He realized the sheer magnitude of the difference between their powers.

Of course, Lyrian's spiritual energy combined with that of his beasts, which made an incredibly powerful outcome.

No one in the crowd knew this of course, so their minds raced with outlandish thoughts and measurements of the boy's power.

Most took steps back, stumbling and falling onto their rears, as some had done in the cave.

However, the difference was that these were the students at the front, not the back. They were the stronger, more daring kids.

In the midst of it all, a single kid walked forward nonchalantly. 

"Che! This is what you all are pissing yourselves over?"
