Ivan felt like he had grown twice as strong as he was after crossing 30% AP, then entering the Partial Lord rank had increased his strength by five times!

It was like jumping out of a cramped room and into an open garden; he felt like he could reach the sky in a single leap; of course, this was just a feeling, and Ivan knew that he would not be able to do so yet.

[Trainee ID: Ivan Von Charles, starting training. Level 1]

[Begin]

A monster appeared in the virtual space and immediately charged at Ivan, bearing its ugly mouth filled with long teeth at him.

Ivan stood in place and waited for the monster to get close, he immediately sent a punch when the monster entered the range of his arm.

Pow!

The head of the monster smashed into a bloody pulp, its body fell and scattered into light particles.

[Level 1 cleared. Proceed to level 2]

[Yes/No]

“Yes”

[Level 2, begin]

BANG!

[Level 2 cleared. Proceed to level 3]

[Yes/No]

” Yes”

[Level 3, begin]

…

[Level 27 cleared. Proceed to level 28]

[Yes/No]

In a short time of five minutes, Ivan had moved from level 1 to level 27. He had killed every monster in a single blow and had yet to even use his Nexus energy, depending solely on his physical strength; this was the might of a Partial Lord!

” Yes,” Ivan answered for the training to continue.

A new monster appeared shortly; surprisingly, it was the same red-scaled monster that Ivan had encountered on this same level the last time he was here.

” A familiar opponent, let’s see how well you fare this time” Ivan flashed a cold smile before dashing toward the monster.

Back then, due to the tough scales of this monster, Ivan had been unable to hurt it no matter what and had used a fire snake to melt its scales before killing it; he wanted to check if the monster’s scale would still be hard enough to resist his punch now that he had broken through to the Partial Lord rank.

The monster opened its mouth and roared when it saw Ivan heading toward it with the speed of a bullet, it threw out a punch with its claws as well.

BAM!

Crack!!

Ivan ignored the monster’s punch as his fist made contact with the body of the monster, a clear sound of something breaking rang out as the monster was sent flying away like a broken kite.

It left a trail of red broken scales in its wake, Ivan’s punch had destroyed the scales on the side of its body.

“Hmm, it survived?” Ivan voiced out in surprise, the monster was tougher than he thought.

Although Ivan did not use all of his strength in that punch just now, it would have been enough to collapse a building upon contact.

Flashing forward, Ivan arrived above the monster. The latter was sprawled on the ground; a good number of scales were missing from its rib area, from which cracks spread to the rest of its body. Its mouth opened wide as blood poured out continuously.

Seeing this, a look of realization appeared on Ivan’s face.

“It only survived barely,” He said while rubbing his chin.

Placing his foot on the head of the monster, Ivan applied some force, and a popping sound was heard.

Under his foot was a mixture of blood, meat paste, broken scales, and two horns.

[Level 28 cleared. Proceed to level 29] Discover exclusive tales on мѵʟ

[Yes/No]

“Yes”

The corpse of the monster vanished as another one appeared. It was a corrupted knight.

Wearing rusty chainmail armor and carrying a severely damaged greatsword, the monster that looked like a human but had two mouths on its face stood opposite Ivan.

Seeing this monster, Ivan knew that he would have to use his talent if he wanted to finish things quickly; he could still defeat this monster easily without using his talent but it would take time.

Corrupted knights possessed a corrupted aura that was similar to the fluid of the Gene banshees; it could eat through Nexus energy and corrode anything it touched; Ivan would rather not want to deal with such troublesome things.

[Level 29, begin]

The corrupted knight waved his great sword in Ivan’s direction immediately after the system announced for the fight to start, sending a black sword wave toward him.

The sword wave grew wider as it approached Ivan, it soon reached a width of five meters.

Ivan didn’t try to dodge this sword wave, he took out a card and tossed it into the air.

The card turned into a sword that slashed at the sword wave.

Fwoosh!!!

The sword wave was successfully cut in two and each half flew by Ivan’s side, though his sword didn’t survive either; it rusted and turned into scrap metal in a matter of seconds.

After blocking the sword wave, Ivan made another sword.

He grabbed it before flashing over to the monster.

Swoosh!

In a single swing Ivan’s sword cut through the chainmail like butter, splitting the corrupted knight in half.

Plop!

The body of the monster fell to the ground, it was dead.

[Level 29 cleared. Proceed to level 30]

[Yes/No]

“Yes”

Ivan watched as the body of the corrupted knight disappeared while a new monster appeared.

He was expecting a random monster this time but was stunned when he saw that it was the same little girl with the green zither.

[Level 30, begin]

Immediately after the announcement, the girl pulled on the strings of her zither and began to recite her poem; Ivan soon found himself in the familiar white space.

“This again?” Ivan said with a frown.

Unlike last time, he knew what would happen next but he had no plans of waiting for it.

He brought out a card and tossed it into the air while visualizing the image of a small black flame.

“Hellfire, detonate!”

Ivan called out, and just like the last time, the small tiny flame in the air started to grow bigger before suddenly turning into a huge explosion, engulfing the white space and destroying it.

Ivan returned to the virtual space and watched the little girl shatter like broken glass, she didn’t say anything to him this time.

[Level 30 cleared. Proceed to level 31]

[Yes/No]

Ivan looked at the notification and checked his Nexus chamber first; he still had more than half left. The majority of the Nexus he had used up was consumed by the hellfire destination.

“Yes”

Ivan replied a serious expression forming on his face as he set his gaze on the new appearing figure while the broken pieces of the little girl disappeared.

When the monster that he was going to face on level 31 appeared, a name immediately came to Ivan’s mind.

Warrior of the Reverse godhood clan!

Indeed, standing opposite Ivan was a female knight in full body armor.

A pair of cold blue eyes stared at him through the visor of the helmet; only her upper face was covered, just like the one Sommy and her team had encountered.

A pair of gauntlets held onto a slim sword that pointed at the ground.

The only difference between this one and the one that Sommy’s team met was the color of their armor.

This one was in silver armor, while the one Sommy had encountered was in bronze armor, and since this one was what he was supposed to face for level 31, Ivan concluded that it was of a higher rank than the one in bronze armor.

While Ivan was still in thought, the notification from the system for them to start was announced.

The female knight took a step forward and bent her knee, her mouth opened as a crisp voice rang out.

“One sword separates the heavens”
