Two months later, three months since the beginning of the training program in Owen Tower.

Grrrrrrrrrrgh!

Roar!!!!!

Screeeeee!

Hisssss!!

In the middle of the virtual space of the training room, Ivan could be seen standing leisurely with an expressionless look on his face.

Surrounding him were over twenty different monsters with menacing sizes and ferocious appearances, they were all prepared to shred Ivan to pieces at any moment but Ivan did not seem to care; he wasn’t even paying them any attention.

“Sigh”

A low sound escaped Ivan’s mouth as one of his hands conjured Nexus energy which then turned into a card.

“Kill” Ivan mumbled softly as the scene of these monsters getting shredded into minced meat formed in his mind.

Wooosh!!

The card floated into the air before scattering into light particles and at the same time, all the monsters lunged at Ivan with their mouths wide open and their claws swiping toward him.

SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!

Sounds of flesh being cut through resounded across the whole space as the light particles of the card intercepted the monsters midair and shredded them all into pieces in an instant.

Showers of flesh and blood rained from the air as the whole place around Ivan turned into a bloody mess of minced corpses.

Ivan only watched this scene with a neutral expression, he was now very used to such a scene so it didn’t bother him. He waited for a few seconds before the blood and flesh of the monsters turned into holographs before disappearing, the place was now neat and spotless with only Ivan standing there.

[Level 24 cleared successfully, the trainee may proceed to the next level!]

[Trainee id: Ivan Von Charles, would you like to continue or stop?]

A prompt appeared in front of Ivan as an electronic voice read out the words to Ivan.

Ivan looked at the prompt in front of him and then looked at his hands and folded them, Ivan was actually exhausted despite appearing calm.

“I have used up six cards to climb up to the 24th level and I can only use my talent one more time before completely running out of Nexus, should I continue or stop for now?” Ivan asked himself, contemplating what to do next. For the past months, the monster on the twenty-fifth level was a boss that Ivan had found difficult to defeat because he was always left with few cards when facing it.

Every five levels of the training room would hold a boss-level monster for the trainees to face and the monster on the 25th level was one that Ivan found particularly annoying to deal with, causing his progress in climbing the levels of the training room to come to a halt.

After a minute of consideration, Ivan finally came to a decision.

” Continue” Ivan voiced out.

Receiving the command, the prompt in front of Ivan vanished and a hologram appeared opposite Ivan which slowly became lifelike before finally turning into a green-skinned monster.

The monster had the shape of a human with four arms, a third eye in the middle of its forehead along with wings that seemed to be made of rocks. This was the boss of the 25th training level that had prevented Ivan from climbing higher for an entire month.

The monster came to life after a few seconds and its eyes immediately landed on Ivan, a look of recognition flashed in its three eyes as a devious smirk formed on its green face.

Ivan equally smirked upon seeing the monster, a card appeared in his hand before turning into a long red-bladed sword.

“Hello, old friend. Did you miss me? I’ve come to kill you for good this time” Ivan whispered to the monster before both of them charged at each other.

Outside Ivan’s training room. A lot of trainees could be seen gathered outside, they were all looking at the list of names beside the 100 levels of the training room.

“He’s in! He’s in! Ivan has completed the 24th level again!”

“Damn, we all started together but why do I feel like he’s an expert in disguise?!”

“True, he’s already as strong as the repeaters, if not stronger!”

“He’s a monster! A monster! Just three months and he’s already about to break a record!”

“Say, do you think he’ll clear the 25th level this time?”

“It’s hard to say, he hasn’t been able to make the 25th level light up since his ascension. What would make today different?”

” Don’t be a sore loser, you know well that he has a talent for surprising people “

” Let’s just keep watching, it’s either he comes out soon or clears the 25th level. Either will only prove how much of a monster he is, even the strongest repeater is still at level 21!”

A lot of trainees said to one another as they stared at the list of training levels in astonishment. Two months ago after Ivan started challenging the training hall, he had managed to leave the trainees in shock every single day because of his unimaginable achievements. One had to know that the average level a normal trainee in the top fifty has managed to reach in these two months was level seven!

The most impressive ones reached ten and even the repeaters were still below the twentieth level; after all, a trainee might have to challenge a single level multiple times before finally clearing it, Just like how Ivan had been struggling with the monster on level 25.

But still, Ivan as a new trainee had left them behind in the dust! Be it his weapon training with Miss Elora, talent training with Tower Master James, his AP training, or even the training rooms, Ivan had proven to be an absolute monster in all aspects; the title of genius was not worthy of him anymore!

In a corner of the training room, two girls could be seen standing close to each other. One was a brown-skinned beautiful young lady with sexy curves, the other was a petite girl with yellow hair tied up in a ponytail.

These two were Sommy and Miko, ranked second and third on the ranking.

“Wow, he keeps surprising everyone. To think Luke was picking on such a monster, he must be regretting it” Sommy exclaimed.

“Hmph! It’s only because he got the best Nexus chamber that his progress is so fast” Miko snorted, unwilling to accept that Ivan was a genius amongst geniuses.

“Come on, don’t be like that. What’s the use of a Nexus chamber to us at this point? We’ll still pass the training this time successfully anyway, so why not give the chance to others?” Sommy suggested with a soft giggle.

Miko only snorted in response without saying a word, Sommy shook her head at Miko’s action as she went silent as well.

Not far away, Glen and Ralph could be seen staring at the list as well.

“He’s the one who hated Nexulytes the most, but he’s becoming a terrifying one himself,” Glen said with a teasing voice.

Seeing that Ralph did not respond to him, he made a serious face before speaking again.

“Seriously, his speed of getting stronger scares me at times. Is our talent level so big?” Glen asked in a somewhat dispirited tone.

“It’s also because of the Nexus chamber in the tower, it’s why he can get so strong in a short time” Ralph stared at Glen and said.

“If that’s so, then why don’t we ask him to share with us? You know, we can challenge him and he’ll lose on purpose, and then repeat the circle between ourselves so everyone can get a share that way” Glen proposed seriously.

Ralph looked at him with a look of surprise in his eyes, this was actually his first time hearing Glen propose something that made sense without anyone having to tell him first.

But he shook his head after a few seconds. That idea might be great but Ralph felt it was too much to ask for even from a brother, they knew very well how Ivan craved strength and how much he had suffered. So asking him to give up his way of accomplishing his dream felt just too cruel.

In the end, Glen still brought up useless ideas.

Glen could very well guess what Ralph was thinking and made an angry face.

” You don’t even know if it will work yet and you’re already insulting me in your mind!” He hissed at Ralph.

Ralph didn’t deny it and simply told the boy not to bring up this topic ever again especially not in front of Ivan. No matter how close they were, trying to take advantage of one’s friend wasn’t noble.

“Look!”

“Oh my God!”

“He did it! The monster finally did it!”

“Damnit, why am I feeling happy and angry at the same time?!”

Loud shouts of the other trainees suddenly exploded through the whole area of the training room. Ralph quickly looked up and saw that the number “25” was currently lit up which meant that someone had just defeated the monster there!
