Three weeks had passed swiftly, one had to say that it was the most intense weeks in the training center; far more intense than the first week that the trainees started training.

And this was because it was their last month of training!

The trainees had just a week left and their training would be over!

During the last three weeks, the instructors were surprised to see all the training working harder than they ever did in the last five months of their training.

Some even skipped theory classes for physical class and training rooms even at the cost of getting punished and there was a bizarre outbreak of challenges in the arena, trainees of different levels challenges the top five as if they had been possessed; they wanted to try their lucks with the Nexus chamber even though it was logically impossible.

Ivan wasn’t spared either as even with his fearsome reputation, he still received tons of challenges every two days.

Of course he would ignore all of them, he only had to accept one and that was his favorite opponent…Miko; the girl’s hate was so strong that she didn’t give up on challenging Ivan despite her numerous defeats against him.

As for the special team training that was held every three days, the trainees had participated in seven of such training and a lot of trainees had received the rewards for their hard work.

This had boosted the strength of a lot of trainees who previously did not have hope of passing the training by themselves and at the same time gaining more friends as well as improving their combat experience.

This was especially true for Ivan’s teammates, all of them had managed to reach the minimum 10% AP within those three weeks and entered the Mortal King rank!

Ralph and Glen had progressed well during those three weeks as well, under the effect of the Nexus chamber and Nexus crystals, the two were slowly approaching the True King rank.

As for Ivan.

Currently, inside the third Nexus chamber underground.

Ivan slowly opened his eyes while at the same time summoning his profile in front of him.

….

NAME: Ivan Von Charles

Talent group: Primal         Talent type: Wisher   Talent: Wish card

Talent lv: SS          AP: 38.55%      Rank: TRUE KING

…..

“Just a little bit more” Ivan muttered softly, his blue eyes flickering with a strange light as he felt the Nexus energy rushing through his body.

He was just a small step away from becoming a Partial Lord ranked Nexulyte!

His speed was nothing that any Nexulyte would compare to in the entire tower, unless one was using Nexus crystals of course; but to get enough Nexus crystals to match Ivan’s speed was harder than looking for bottled water in an ocean.

After reaching 30% AP, Ivan was able to tell that he had become stronger than before. Although he was still in the True King rank, he knew that his strength was almost twice what it used to be when he was still below 30%.

“There truly are differences between Nexulytes of the same rank” Ivan said to himself as he unfolded and folded his fingers repeatedly.

After reaching 30% in his AP, not only did his Nexus chamber increase and his Nexus energy becoming more potent, Ivan felt that his talent could be used in more ways now.

“I’ll see what else it can do” Ivan stood up and left, his destination was the training room.

…..

Arriving at the training room, Ivan immediately found a room and entered a pod.

Appearing at the virtual space of the training room, the familiar notifications appeared in front of him along with the options to begin.

[Training level one, trainee may begin]

With a monster in front of him, the system gave the notification for the fight to commence; the monster immediately charged at Ivan.

Ivan stared at it with carefree look in his eyes as a card appeared in his hand, he wanted to create a sword to chop the monster into pieces but paused when he remembered why he had come here.

“No swords” Ivan said to himself before forming another image in his mind.

…..

Thirty minutes later.

[Level 27 completed, proceed to level 28?]

[Yes/No]

After defeating the monster on the 27th level, the notification to continue or quit.

Ivan checked his Nexus chamber and saw that he still had a lot of Nexus energy left. From the 1st level to the 27th level, Ivan had defeated all the monsters with a single attack so he had not spent a lot of energy.

He had really become stronger than when he was below 30% and the gap in strength wasn’t small!

“Yes”

Ivan answered and the corpse of the monster in front of him vanished into light particles before a new monster appeared in the virtual space.

This was the level that Ivan had been stuck in for so long now, me matter what he did he was just unable to defeat the monsters on this level.

This time, it was a monster with scales like that of a dragon.

The monster stood on two large legs that ended with three large claws, it was seven meters tall and had two large red horns.

A wide mouth filled with razor sharp teeth took half of its face, two small yellow eyes glowed above its mouth.

A tail that was over a meter thick and three meters long was attached to the back of its waist.

It was a fearsome monster which Ivan didn’t know its name but had met it before, what he could say about this monster was that it has a very high defense and a speed that wasn’t inferior to that of a True King Nexulyte.

[Level 28, begin]

The system announced the start of the fight and the yellow eyes of the monster immediately came to life and turned to Ivan.

It opened its fearsome mouth and let out a loud roar before dashing toward Ivan.

The ground cracked from the force of the monster’s steps, over a dozen small craters appeared on the ground almost instantly aa the monster seemed to be teleporting around the place; it’s speed was just that fast.

But its opponent wasn’t some random True King or any other trainee, Ivan was capable of following its movements with his eyes.

Just when the monster thought that it had caught Ivan, the human in front of it suddenly vanished. No! He didn’t vanish, his speed was just so fast that the monster hadn’t seen anything.

Before it could react, a giant icicle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the sharp tip crashed into the back of the monster.

BOOM!!

A loud sound rang out as a cloud of dust rose into the air after the monster crashed fiercely into the ground.

A large hole immediately formed on the ground with half of the icicle buried inside it.

“Roar!”

An enraged roar came from under the icicle before cracks started to run through its body.

Kacha!

It only took a second before the giant icicle shattered into ice fragments and the monster jumped out from the hole.

It turned to face Ivan and roared again.

Ivan stared back at it with a slight smile on his face.

“As expected, it’s unharmed,” Ivan said. It turned out he had expected that the scales of the monster would be able to block his attack.

“Well, if ice doesn’t work, let’s try something else”  a cold smile that would make others shiver formed on Ivan’s face as another card appeared in his hand.
