Chapter 303 Everyone below rank SS is just an 'Ant'...

Academy training ground.

*Boom!*

Two swords collided with each other and created a massive shockwave. Cracks appeared in the ground from the massive wind pressure, but the two swordsmen remained unaffected by all this.

"Hoh, in terms of pure physical stats, you are already on the level of an early SS-ranker like me..."

A smile appeared on Jin's face as he countered a thousand sword attacks in a matter of seconds.

The wind pressure created by their sword swings was so strong that Meng, who was sitting on a nearby bench, was having great difficulty barely opening his eyes in that massive wind storm.

From Meng's perspective, all he could see was two swords clashing again and again; he couldn't follow Rio and Jin's movements at all, as they were just too out of his league.

Even Jin himself was amazed at Rio's amazing abilities.

Rio clearly does not use mana, yet his physical abilities are on par with an SS ranker due to the 'Imperfect Sword Heart'.

"You really got a huge boost from the blessing of that world tree, it seems."

Jin didn't know the exact details of what Rio got from that world tree, but he could see that Rio's physical capabilities were definitely enhanced.

Rio ignored Jin's word, placed his sword beside his waist, and took his stance.

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Time Type: Parallel Strikes!]

As it swung, Rio's sword appeared to have created parallel images in the air, and Jin had to parry those multiple parallel sword attacks that came from all directions and angles.

If not for the fact that he has world authority and can easily move through space, he couldn't have dodged it at all.

Seeing that Jin easily used the space-time fabric to dodge the attack, Rio sighed and stopped attacking,

"It's really difficult to hit an SS-ranker... Speed doesn't matter at all..."

Jin nodded in response to Rio's words and provided an explanation.

"SS-rankers have the authority to open portals to teleport, or they can easily teleport to any place that is in their field of vision... Basically, they are not bound by the constraints of speed; they can teleport, so speed doesn't matter to them..."

Jin took the towel that Meng handed him and wiped the sweat from his face as he spoke.

"S rankers can stand in void, which means they can fly or stand in air easily without even using mana, but this ability gets even more enhanced when they ascend to rank SS..."

"At rank SS, you can pass through physical objects by manipulating the space-time fabric itself... Although this ability doesn't work against other SS-rankers, It's still a very strong ability..."

"That's what I just used to dodge your attack; I directly bypassed your sword attacks by manipulating the space-time fabric to my will... This is what it means to be a demi-god..."

"You are unaffected by mortal constraints and can bend even the space-time fabric to your will... This is the path of divine..."

Rio and Meng both took mental notes of Jin's words and committed them to their memory.

They both are aiming to become SS-rankers one day, so this information is beneficial for them both.

Rio looked at Jin and inquired in an inquisitive manner.

"Just by reaching level 4, Mr. Ashtel became the strongest man on earth... doesn't that mean if some reached the peak of 'World Authority' they would be able to shatter the whole solar system!?"

After hearing Meng's words, Jin chuckled slightly and remarked,

"No, no... I think Mr. Ashtel himself can shatter the solar system even now, which means that if someone reached the peak state of 'World Authority', they would be at multiple solar system level..."

"Haha, but I doubt someone like that even exists in today's world... In the long Annals of History, there was only one person who had achieved this feat, which was King Allen Von Reinhart..."

"There weren't any before or after him who had achieved the same level of strength as him... You could think of him as the true peak of this world's power hierarchy..."

Hearing Jin's words, Rio suddenly asked,

"Then what about the realm above rank SS? Do you have any clue about it?"

Jin suddenly burst into laughter after hearing Rio say those words. Only after a few seconds did he calm down and say,

"I don't think there is even a realm above rank SS... It's likely just a joke made by someone who had too much free time on their hand... Even an SS ranker is already a great burden on the laws of this world..."

Jin's expression turned solemn as he said the next few words.

"If a being of that level of power existed, the world would not be able to bear the burden of their existence... Such a being would have transcended the very laws of this world.... Which is impossible..."

Jin shook his head and said,

"Forget it, don't think about all that; you guys have a long road ahead of you; thinking about a goal that is just too far away will do you more harm than good; just take things step by step..."

"Reaching rank S is just taking the first step; only by reaching rank SS can you start to see the real view of this world..."

While saying those words, Jin sighed.

He waved his hands and decided to leave.

"Today was the final day of our training together. I have gained a lot of insights, I will leave for Oaklum tomorrow morning, Let's meet again in the future if there's a chance for it..."

"Mr. Ashtel went into seclusion training three months ago, as he seemed to have found some insights when he saw the heavenly thunder bombarding Riya. He will likely not come out for one or two years."

"I am going to be in seclusion too... I wish you guys good luck. When I come out of seclusion, I hope you will have achieved greater heights... Goodbye for now..."

At that moment, Jin opened a portal and went to Oaklum after picking up Anna.

Rio and Meng sighed while looking at the closing portal. The same thought came to their minds at that moment:

'The world really is vast... There's a long road ahead...'
