The First Store System

Chapter 328: I Almost Fucked Up!

The next moment, a blue light engulfed Trihan, and the next second, all the exhaustion he felt due to this long battle disappeared. All the injuries, big or small, also got healed in the presence of the light.

"Thud!"

Trihan stood up, but the next moment, a sudden headache bombarded him, making him clutch his head in irritation, and then he crashed on the ground with a loud second.

Despite dying millions of times, the pain Trihan felt at this moment was worse than those deaths.

"ARGH, DAMN IT!" He screamed and cursed as new information was forcefully added into his consciousness.

The pain was because Trihan's consciousness wanted to reject the coming knowledge, but unfortunately for it, the system proved to be stronger, and it transferred the knowledge like a tide.

A few seconds later, the influx of the knowledge finally stopped, freeing Trihan from that terrible pain.

Trihan's day for today had been his worst and best at the same time. He, who never felt afraid of anything, felt an insurmountable fear, not only once but twice. He even was certain that he would die the second time.

Then he literally died millions of times at the hands of the Hygar. When he finally killed the creature belonging to his most hated enemy's race, this pain attacked him.

Trihan was on the verge of cursing when suddenly his jaw dropped in shock, while his eyeballs felt like they would pop out. His breathing got so rough that he felt his heart would give up.

Fortunately for him, the training area acted, and his shocked and excited mind returned to calm right away.

"YES!" His mind had only returned to calm when the next moment he yelled in excitement, making the training area act again.

As if the training area didn't want to act again, Trihan's mind became as cold and calm as it could be the next moment.

Finally, he looked calmly at the knowledge he had gained after the death of the Hygar by his hands.

For killing the Hygar, Trihan had gained a knowledge of a skill.

It wasn't a new skill, but his strongest spear skill had gotten an automatic upgrade. He didn't have to practice the skill; even the experience of using it had gotten added to his mind.

If he were to compare the power difference between the skill before and after the upgrade, it would be mind-blowing even for someone of his stature. If the skill previously had an attack of 1 unit in terms of numbers, now that same skill's attack power had reached at least 10, marking at least a ten times growth.

The skill not only upgraded in terms of its strength, but its energy requirements also came down by similar exaggerated rates.

Trihan, who had a cold temperament, nodded, seeing the level by which his strength would grow after leaving the training area.

Trihan then waited to leave the training area since he had already defeated his opponent, but things didn't go as he had expected.

The next moment, the same menu of race selection appeared inside his head.

Since Trihan had already killed the Hygar, he had no interest in fighting against a defeated opponent again.

But he couldn't just stop himself to check whether there had been changes to the Hygar section.

When the section of the Hygar race had appeared, as expected, there was a change in that section. There was a pattern of '1' engraved on the Hygar's projection, marking Trihan had killed it once.

It was not the only thing as Trihan also noticed that the current section of Hygar shone brighter than the other race sections.

Trihan's curiosity got the better of him at that moment, despite being in a cold and calm stage, so he selected the Hygar as his next opponent.

After the race selection, Trihan chose the same concrete open ground as the battlefield.

Soon, the damages the concrete area had faced due to the previous battle disappeared, and soon after that, the same Hygar with the same spear as Trihan appeared.

Trihan's eyes turned into slits, as despite the Hygar standing far from him without even aiming its spear at him, he felt a danger to his life.

The next moment, a bell rang and announced the start of the new battle.

Trihan didn't even get the chance to change his grip on the spear when he lost his consciousness. If Trihan were to see what had happened, he would've seen that the Hygar casually moved his spear and pierced Trihan countless times, with not a single part of his body left untouched, while the Hygar did all this in less than even one-billionth of a second.

Time flew by, and finally, the new torture for Trihan ended as the limit of thousand hours had passed.

During the last seven hours, Trihan had died so many times that he had even lost the count.

If deaths before killing the Hygar were to be considered a drop of water, then after the death of the Hygar could be seen as an ocean.

His death remained the same throughout these seven hours. He wasn't even able to see how he died, let alone forcing the Hygar to use another strike.

Fortunately, the system erased the memory of death after every revival of Trihan. Only his experience remained. Otherwise, Trihan would've even lost the will to live in reality after dying so many times.

It was one of the options that got unlocked after the trainee killed his opponent once. The system did this to protect the mind of the trainee.

Since the opponent gained an exponential level of growth after its death once, deaths became as common as dirt, similar to the situation of Trihan.

Similarly, the growth rate of the trainee also began increasing at an exponential rate, but since Trihan only had seven more hours left after the death of the Hygar, he couldn't even accommodate himself to the speed at which the Hygar moved, let alone survive an attack.

***

"I will fight that bastard, in reality, now," Trihan murmured after returning to his physical body.

Since the system erased the memory of the deaths, Trihan only remembered that he hadn't been able to defeat the Hygar after the upgrade. But remembering that he had killed the Hygar in the training area, he now wanted to face the Hygar who defeated him in the battle again.

After exiting, Trihan checked if he gained any growth in his cultivation as his son had gained. He didn't gain any increase in his cultivation. Since he was already at the peak of the cultivation in the Primal dimension, if he were to gain even a minor increase, he would've been forced to face the tribulation and ascend to the Sacred dimension.

***

"Father, why did you suddenly exit the weapons room and look at the store owner?" Kuriati asked after getting over the fact that his father killed his opponent in the Gods & Demons level training area.

Kuriati wasn't even able to cause any injury to his opponent. He finally knew, why does his father get so much respect in the clan and the dimension, despite being such a wild character.

Trihan, who had been over the moon due to killing the Hygar, suddenly felt cold water poured all over him.

"I fucked up and almost caused my death," Trihan bent down and whispered into Kuriati's ear.
