Multi-Gene

The duo arrived at the field where the lessons was going to take place with Nihyuh, charging in tow. There were other students that had gotten there earlier before them.

David scanned the field with his eyes. He saw some other students who he could recognize. His gaze lingered on Nick for a second,.before he retracted it.

His gaze suddenly hardened when he saw the figure of a person. It was Janeane, and she was chatting with other male fellow students flocking around her all the while, smiling cutely.

One wouldn't help but admire her beauty as her fingers twirled around her blazing red hair, it was a magnificent sight.

But David was still filled with anger to notice such details. His hands itched to gift her a punch but he contained himself while he checked her immediate surroundings but to no avail, he couldn't find the person he was really looking for which was Lu Feng.

Suddenly, as if feeling the gaze of someone lingering on her for too long, she looked over towards David .

And as she who it was, her expression turned rather ugly while she tried concealing it quickly. But the people with her were exceptionally sharp students, they noticed a change in her expression.

Wale, a very handsome black skinned youth with an exceptionally huge figure frowned when he noticed. With that, he asked "Is anything the matter Janeane. You look somewhat uncomfortable?"

Without waiting for her to reply, Wale glanced towards the direction she had faced before as he squinted his eyes towards David's position. "Is it that skinny guy over there, did he do anything to you?"

The other students with her also had a slight frown on their faces as they faced Janeane with a questioning look.

At first she denied it, but since they 'Insist' she explained "He is called David Syntex and is currently holding the 7th position on the Rookie's Rankings list."

Upon hearing this, the others all nodded as they looked at David's figure in a new light. Those whose name are on the rankings list although some are not very powerful, they still possess a considerable amount of strength.

"So what's the problem?" Wale was confused.

Jeneane expression then turned sour as she continued. "I had appeoached him, hoping to negotiate with him buy buying the position from him. I told him i will pay any price for it, but he actually wanted to take advantage not of me. I had no other choice than to initiate a Forced Duel with him. Who would have expected him to sneak an attack on me?" at the end of her speech, tears threatened to spill out of her eyes.

This immediately infuriated the male students around her. But they weren't stupid people.

Among those that are in the institute, less than 20 percent were dim-witted. They immediately saw through her lies but still, there had to be some truth in her words.

Therefore, David was at fault matter what.

Nihyuh and David had just settled at a position on the soft grass of the field when suddenly David felt several piercing sensation down his spine.

He immediately looks back and saw the several male students with Janeane earlier glaring daggers at him.

David couldn't care less about them as his body didn't even react to their threat. It was only a single individual among them that gave him a slight reaction, the black dude that was currently heading over towards his direction.

David's expression turned ugly instantly. Janeane had done it again. It seems she likes other people doing her dirty job.

This was the second time someone had come, wanting to battle him for her sake and honestly, it was getting a little frustrating.

Wale headed towards David as he stretched forth his hands in greeting. " I'm Wale, what's your name?" Wale asked with a smile.

A little confused, David stood up, shaking hands with Wale. He knew something was up with the senerio even without his Primal Instincts warning him, but he couldn't tell what it was as he couldn't figure it out. He would just take whatever came his way. Stretching forth his hand, they clasped hands

Upon seeing this, the students shook their heads upon the naivety of this fellow student called David. Actaally daring to shake hands with Wale. That is just asking for his bones to be crushed.

Nihyuh just stood to the side, watching the drama unfold with an expressionless face, seemingly having no intention of supporting David at all.

Wale had gained a nickname within the short period of time he had been in the institute. Hands of steel.

Which is related to the Combat Technique Manual he had chosen - Metallic Palm.

A low tier Black Grade Combat Technique Manual. Gradually transmute the hands to be as hard as metal it self.

When trained to the highest level, one's hand will shine with a metallic luster and could easy crush stones to powder with the hands alone.

Obviously, Wale hadn't practice to that stage yet. He had only reached the Prosaic State(1). But still, his hands could crush the fragile bones in ones finger.

He had used this technique to secure the 9th place for himself in the Rankings just recently.

As David clasped hands with Wale he felt as though his hands had been locked in place with a Vice Grip(2)

His expression changed slightly as he felt a force squeeze at his hand, threatening to crush it.

Wale only smiled as he pushed his blood circulation and also activating the combat technoque, Metallic Palm and continued to increase the force in his grip.

David expression loosened as he also pushed his blood circulation, urging his blood while his strength continued to rise as he forcefully resisted Wale's Metallic Palm with his strength alone.

It should be known that Dav's blood revolution had reached a terrifying 53 cycle per minute.

Almost at the bottleneck of one cycle per second. A stage where one can decide either to continue increasing his or her blood revolutions.or advance to the next stage.

Advancing to the next stage while at a blood revolution on 1 cycle per second would result in a successful breakthrough.

But those that advance at that level can never hope to compete with those that advance with a 3 CPS(3) in strength.

The more blood revolutions you have when you can circulate,.the more strength you gain when you advance.

Dav smirked "I'm David Syntex."

1 - Beginner state

2 - a tool or machine specifically used to clamp or hold wood or steel for cutting or filling.

3 - Cycle(s) Per Second.
