I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

On the outskirts of the San Luebisto Kingdom, near the Death Forest, Fein and Sofia faced each other.

An abandoned castle stood behind the two with mosses and spiderwebs on its walls. Trees with yellow leaves surrounded the whole place and the sound of water's continuous collision on a lake could be heard.

Fein scanned the ground devoid of grasses, but fertile enough that he could spot thick earthworms that would surface from time to time.'This is really weird. What kind of place is this? It has good fertile soil, but the trees and the grounds looked dry and brittle.'

"It's really weird, isn't it? There's a rumor that circulated once in our entire kingdom that says that this place was cursed by a powerful witch." Sofia spoke as she noticed Fein looked around from time to time. Then she pointed at a tree not far away from her with her index finger. "Even a normal adult would be able to punch a hole in the trees here. In the past... This place had luscious trees that bore large nutritious fruits. Yet, after it was cursed. It wasn't the same anymore, and it became like what we are seeing now."

"Interesting... It goes against the law of physics. One can really do a lot with degu energy." Fein caressed his chin in deep thought. "I can't even sense any presence of animals here or insects other than these earthworms. A witch, huh?"

"Well, who knows if the rumors are true?" Sofia shrugged. Then she condense a blood scythe in her hands and gave Fein a look of provocation.

"You're aware that you won't be able to hit me with that thing, right? But well... come!" Fein gestured for Sofia to attack while he had his hands behind his back.

Sofia's eyes turned serious. Blood boots covered her foot. Then hundreds of blood bullets appeared in the air out of nowhere... And it didn't end there. She took a deep breath and her eyes became sharper.

Each of the blood bullets multiplied into three relentlessly until it increase from thousand to hundreds of thousands!

Fein just looked at the scene that would make anyone's scalp numb. But in truth, he was quite surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Sofia had already reached such a level that she could already create an astronomical number of blood bullets effortlessly. 'Hmmm... Her breathing was still stable, and she didn't look tired at all... She had really worked hard.'

Sofia didn't talk like their previous sparring this time. And she just quietly launched the bullets in Fein's direction.

With that, hundreds of thousands of blood bullets produced a whizzing sound... Such a number of bullets had already covered all the spaces, which made it difficult to dodge.

Fein sighed as he saw the blood bullets surrounded him from all directions. He could just use his ghecko substitution, but he chose not to. He opened his palm and gathered his strength from them.

CLAP!

A loud, resounding clap echoed in the place. With Fein's clap... A strong wave of air was produced and swept all the blood bullets like a tide. The blood bullets exploded one after another before the wind, like a tide, dissipated.

Sofia looked at Fein, whose pair of palms were smoking. She couldn't believe that a human being would be able to create such a powerful wind force without the help of degu energy, but just pure physical strength! 'Too strong... Is this the might of S rank strength? He could produce that kind of attack with just a clap of his hands?'

She knew just how powerful her blood bullets were. Even more powerful than the previous ones she used. And she can confidently say that it could sweep almost any degu users in the same rank as her.

"You've improved your energy control." Fein opened his mouth and glanced at ten trees that fell to the ground due to his attack.

Sofia felt somewhat happy as Fein recognized her improvement. Yet she still felt helpless because her attack turned into a joke in front of the man she love. "It's thanks to the training regiment that you made."

"Don't be humble... You've worked hard."

Sofia took a deep breath... 'I'll show you that it's not only my improvement in the past months!'

Thinking of this, Sofia dashed towards Fein. In her left arm, the scythe glowed a crimson light. Then she swung it towards Fein.

SWOASHHH!

The air got ripped apart from the speed and power of Sofia's attack, then on her right hand, a blood spear was created in just a second.

Fein just moved one inch from his position and leaned his body slightly... With that, he managed to dodge the blood scythe with ease. Then he jumped two meters high and saw how the ground was ripped apart by the blood scythe.

It created a deep eight-meter rift that Fein could only see darkness... Suddenly; he felt the air ripple with his sensitive perception, and two blood chains connected near Sofia emerged near to him.

"You want to restrict my wrist with these weak chains?" Fein let the blood chains wrap on his wrist and watched Sofia make her next move with interest.

"You taught me to not underestimate any opponent, right?" Sofia took a deep breath. 'Blood Magic: Animal Object!'

The blood chains on Fein's wrist turned into five snakes which now wrapped his hands completely, and he could move them at all.

Of course, he's not exerting his full strength. Because if he did, he could have destroyed them at any time. But he has to say that the snakes that bound both his hands would make even an A rank peak or even Brick Norty struggle.

The Fein saw the blood-red spear turn into a purple spear, and just as she did so... The entire space around it shattered, and the surrounding space shook intensely. The ground trembled nonstop. The trees exploded, and Sofia's entire body got covered by a destruction mist.

Just like that, Sofia threw the destruction spear in her hand in Fein's direction. It moves in an instant and tore the space around.

'M*therfucker! Is she trying to kill me!?' Fein couldn't help but curse in his heart when he saw the purple spear arrive instantly just one meter away from him.
