Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

567 Training [2]

[Your opponent has accepted your challenge!]

[5,000 Contribution Points have been deducted!]

[Please make your way to the combat arena!]

[Failure to do so means automatic forfeit!]

Legolas did not hesitate.

Picking up his Obsidian Spear that had been at his side while he trained to his body's full potential for days, he levitated towards the combat arena.

As a Grade B Super, Legolas still didn't have the power to levitate on sheer energy alone, instead what he used was a gravity boot.

It enabled him to levitate by burning energy.

His speed was fast, he arrived in just 5 seconds.

Thud!

He landed just outside the combat arena.

At this moment, a massive blue shield encompassed the combat arena, a shield that was powerful enough to withstand the casual attack of a Calamity Grade Super.

Despite the fact that this battle was just organized a few seconds ago, over a hundred Pugilist trainees were already gathered at this moment.

Battles were ways for them to observe the calamity path of their opponents and not just that, every battle at this realm was intense and gave them inspiration on how to progress on their calamity paths.

Some of them that were stuck mostly came here for epiphanies.

Afterall, it was not every day that the trainees here got to see battles since it took long periods to improve an inch in the Grade B realm.

It was when the eccentric trainee came that everything changed.

He challenged trainees almost every other day.

Also, at this moment, Legolas' opponent was already here.

The red-haired Pugilist glared at him with fiery eyes.

He smirked. "Here to waste some more contribution points?"

Having fought Legolas multiple times in the past few days, losing 5,000 contribution points and coming back each time, this player became irritated.

Not for the reason you would expect, he became irritated because his opponent seemed to be one of those rich overpampered heirs.

He was probably the descendant of some immensely powerful super who held a high position in Nak State, so he had the luxury to laze away while his parents paved his pathway to power and stardom.

He hated people like this with passion.

"Answer me, dog!" He snapped on being ignored.

Despite being called a dog, Legolas did not react to it, rather his attention was on the old Pugilist with white hair and beard that was looking at them.

Like the other, this Pugilist instructor had a stern look on his face.

"Trainee #1,021 and Trainee 612, enter the battle arena".

"You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".

"If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it's a draw".

This was when the blue shield covering the combat arena finally opened and they walked in. Once they were in, it closed up and Legolas looked at his opponent.

"Are you ready?"

The red-haired Pugilist snorted. "More ready than you".

Legolas nodded. "Good, you'll need it".

DING!

As soon as the bell rang, like usual, Legolas acted but this time, it instantly became clear to the Pugilist that something was not right.

----

It was almost the same notification but something changed.

It was no longer just Rage Demon; it was now Rage Demon King.

The difference seemed tiny but it meant everything.

This was a different version of the tank with anger issues.

BZZZ!

Instantly after Legolas summoned all his beasts and fused with them, his opponent, the Pugilist felt an apocalyptic pressure hit against his chest.

He felt breathless instantly as he started suffocating.

In just 2 days, Legolas' aura changed completely.

This was no longer the same Nightmare Hippopotamus.

It was just 2 days but these 2 days meant everything. In these 2 days, Legolas did not just finetune his fighting techniques more, but he also achieved the legendary feat of having a body with the strength potential cap for a grade.

Legolas' sheer body strength increased by a factor of almost 10 times!

Mix it with the growth of his beasts' physicality too and it was evident that he was now an entirely different monster from 2 days ago.

The Pugilist was shocked by the pressure but he still attacked.

Legolas had always had a stronger body than him despite being a Summoner, his advantage that helped him win had always been his powerful techniques.

Not this time though, Legolas grabbed his spear tighter, then…

-----

You have activated Self-Created Technique: Nature Connection!

----

BOOM!

He stabbed with his spear and that one stab ended it all.

All the spectators saw was a bright flash of light.

Then the next moment, they saw an unconscious Pugilist that was being protected by a protective aura that was released by the Pugilist instructor.

This meant that the last attack would have ended his life.

"…!" They all gasped in shock.

One attack to obliterate Trainee #612, this was ridiculous!

[Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #612!]

[Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]

"Yes". Legolas answered immediately.

Then, the Pugilist instructor looked up at the spectators.

The format of the combat arena only allowed a lower-ranked trainee to throw challenges to all higher-ranked trainees and not vice versa. The higher-ranked trainees will determine if they have the power to fight the challenger.

If they could, they accepted the challenge to gain the contribution points.

If the challenger won though, he would automatically take the position of the defeated trainee to be updated during the next trainee ranking update.

This meant that Trainee #1 could even accept his challenge right now and it won't be bullying, Legolas got that much but he was not scared.

Those high-ranked Trainees were too busy to pay attention to weaklings like him, they only fight in combat arenas when the stakes are high enough.

That was why he was confident that the opponent would be on his level.

While he waited for his opponent though, Legolas reflected.

'Nature Connection'. This was the first self-created technique that he created to compliment his powerful body during the training.

The world was filled with natural neutral mana.

Mana turning into elemental and other types of mana were always influenced by different factors. As for Nature Connection that he created though, he created it after getting an epiphany.

Nature Connection enabled him to connect to the natural neutral mana in the world, this connection enabled him to draw upon some of the powers of the world to amplify his weapon attacks.

As for how he almost killed the Pugilist, he simply gathered all the nature energy that he connected to at the tip of the spear like a bomb.

Then on stabbing the spear, all this gathered energy launched out like a laser, creating a ranged attack that was powerful enough to one-shot that Pugilist.

This was Legolas' new power after upgrade!

[Trainee #405 has accepted challenge!]

Legolas picked up his Obsidian Spear and got ready for battle.

Thud!

She landed close to the combat arena.

Compared to the previous Pugilist, Trainee #405 was a blonde beauty.

Yes, she was a female Pugilist who wielded 2 light swords. It was clear that her Calamity Path was focused on maximizing agility to the peak.

"Trainee #1,021 and Trainee #405, enter the battle arena".

"You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".

"If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it's a draw".

The blue shield opened and she entered inside.

Compared to the first Pugilist, she did not talk and she had a focused look on her face, carefully scrutinizing every detail and move that Legolas made.

Then…

DING!

This female Pugilist took a step and… she exploded!

BOOM!

The attack arrived like lightning, almost as fast as the speed of light.

One moment, his opponent was at the other side of the arena, and the next, her twin swords were already digging deep into Legolas' neck!

"…" Legolas gasped in shock.

He feared for his life but he quickly calmed down.

At this moment, her twin swords were digging into his neck, blood flowed but that was all. She could not severe his head, his body strength and resilience were on a whole other level compared to this Pugilist.

His Honey Badger Armor Supreme Talent was no bluff.

Legolas grabbed her swords with his free left hand, ignoring the pain then…

BAM!

Legolas rammed forward with his shoulder but she reacted fast.

Her agility was insane.

Drawing back instantaneously, she evaded his attack as with her twin swords, she turned into a raging green wind that started circling him.

For 2 seconds, she did not attack, only encircling him.

Legolas finally understood her calamity path.

She focused on absolute speed in sacrifice for base power. But with her rapid speed, her combat style was to wait until her opponent revealed an opening and she would take advantage by attacking with everything she got.

The momentum from her speed alone would give her terrifying power.

Legolas' eyes gleamed, then he moved.

'An opening!' She thought.

Whoosh!

She was really insanely fast!

Legolas only saw a blur but he focused on his instincts and reacted.

-----

You have activated Self-Created Technique: Body-Gravity Explosion!

----

BOOM!

What the spectators first saw was a flash of gray energy then a grunt reverberated in the combat arena followed by her coughing blood.

She was stunned and left dizzy; he ruthlessly took advantage.
