Herbert with his white hair go back home, after that he lived happily with his wife and daughter.But 10 years late, he is a little unhappy, because he don't have a way to became stronger.He now is invincible in the world, only the gods in the myths can kill him, but no one had seen those gods.
Even though his lifespan is almost infinite, he is the strongest, but he wants more.He always loved adventures, but nothing more can threat him.
One day, an acquaintance knocked in his door, and said that the now 11 giants encountered a possible way to a higher realm.Herbert got excited thinking about a whole new world.
He followed the acquaintance and go to the reunion of the 11 giants.But in the way his face changed and he disappeared, after that, he reappeared in his house.
In the house there's 3 corpes, his wife, his daughter and a unknown guy.He looked at that smiling, but the smile looked weird.
On this day, God's Realm witnessed it's biggest incident.4 of the remaining 11 giants are destroyed overnight, all of them coincidentally have a good relationship with Balz family, who are one of the giants before being destroyed.
In a desolate region, Herbert looked to the sky and sighed "I finally encountered the way to greater adventures, but because of this, my family is destroyed."
He knelt on the ground and said nothing, just a invisible energy accumulated in his body.After a while, the energy went out of his body, and go to the horizon.His body falls in this desolate region without life signals.

When Lucas heard the end of the story, he was dumbfounded.The strongest man have his family killed, and after vengeance he killed himself, isn't too ridiculous?
"Nobody knows if the end is true, this happened long ago.And the remaining giants took time to invest in educating their descendants, they don't wanna something like that happens again." Sasha said with a smile.
"Why did you look happy?" Lucas asked suspicious.
"Before Herbert, the 12 great families and organizations ruled everything in the God's Realm, but because he destroyed 5 of them, they can't control everything anymore.And they don't wanna be so oppressive anymore too, if some person like Hebert appeared again, they are gone.So they are more accessible and don't have much problems." Sasha replied.
"They lowered themselves so much?" Lucas is surprised.
"Haha, of course not.They are just more accessible and don't get in trouble for something dumb, but if someone think they are docile, they can't be more wrong." Sasha replied lightly.
"You already knew too much, go home train or something." Sasha don't give Lucas a chance, and waved her hand.
Lucas go out unwilling, but he was too weak.Herbert father is Tier 2 and got killed easily, and Lucas can't even imagine how strong a Tier 2 person is.
After arriving home, he got a email from the school.They will choose the top 10 students to participate in the national contest after tomorrow.
"The national contest will be more than 25 days from now, why choose the top 10 so early?" Lucas murmured, but don't care, he has confidence to take one spot.
It's already night, so Lucas ordered a takeout and go to sleep.
He woke up with a knocking in the door, he opened and Bai is there.
"Why did you still sleeping, the school will choose the top 10 today!" Bai said excited.
"Why are you so excited?It's just the top 10, it's easy for us to pass." Lucas said with headache.
"You don't know?The govern started to sell energy stones, it's just fragments, but for those who are in the boundary of breakthrough it's a priceless thing, principally those who had already comprehended the power to upgrade to Tier 8 like me." Bai explained what happened these days.
"I have internet too, why always I don't know the news." Lucas said annoyed.
"Haha, this information is a little hidden, the school made available only for the students that they know that have talent.The government had few of those things, if they sell to everyone it will be over soon.I even heard that after the national contest, those more talent will have the right to buy stones like the one that we encountered." Bai said excited.
If he can have several of those stones, he will be invincible in a moment.Of course Bai didn't know the requirements to upgrade Tier.
"So several of Tier 8 will participate in the top 10 students?" Lucas got a little preoccupied, he thinks he had a good combat power among the recently promoted Tier 8, but if there severalnof them in succession he will lose.
"Of course not, those fragments are expensive, but even with unlimited supply of them, someone won't upgrade to Tier 8 without comprehend their power.I know by my own experience." Bai said with certainly.
Lucas has a relief sigh, he don't care being the first or the last in the list, but he must go to a more competitive place.
"Come in, I will change clothes." Lucas got in the house, and said to Bai.
Bai entered and sat in the couch like he is used to it, Lucas took a short bath and changed clothes.
After arriving near the school, Lucas and Bai encountered numerous other peoples.They even forgot that the school has so many students.If everyone fight for the top 10 spots, it'll take at least 3 days.
No one said nothing, they just entered the school organized.After a while, they encountered a big fighting stage.Everyone is dumbfounded, when the school have money to build such thing?This school might be because it is one of the most famous in the country, but how every school will have such stage?
"Don't need be surprised, every city mayor payed to soil power users to make this stage, in every school." After everyone arrived, a voice said.
Everyone looked to the stage, and there three people in the side of the principal.Who said that is the principal, the others three just looked to everyone, one of them even looked to Bai.
"We know that you guys are eager to become stronger, so we will make this fast.These people by my side are the judges, and they will choose who was in the top 10.If you don't agree, then you can fight with the chosen one." the principal continued with a smile.
Before the students can respond, a short man in the middle of the judges pointed to 3 people and said "You guys."
The three go to the front and one of them is Ryo, the other one is a gentle looking guy, and the last is a short haired girl.
When Bai sees the short haired girl, he opened his mouth wide, and poked Lucas arm.
"Fast as always, little Rick." a middle-aged woman who is also a judge said.
"Don't call me that, or I'll chop you in the middle" Rick said without changing his face.
"Oh, so scary.I may have kicked too low." the woman continued.
A vein appeared in Rick's forehead, when he is gonna revide, a murmur appeared in his side.
"Old people sure is annoying."
The two immediately knows that is the other judge, but they stayed quiet.They can't quarrel here, and that guy is young, it will appear that they are bullying him.
"*Cough* You two have to choose too, only Rick has chosen so far." the principal interrupted their conflict.
The woman pointed to more 3 people, Bai is one of them, another one is a young man with glass, and the last is a shy boy.
The young judge pointed to 3 more people too, one of them is Lucas, the other one is a tall girl with ponytail, and the last is a small cute girl.
Of the top 10, 9 is decided, so the principal pointed to a serious young man, and it's Yufei.
After that, the 10 lined up in the stage.Everyone who isn't choose wanted to go there too, but the principal didn't say anything yet.
"Those who aren't chosen can now challenge any of the 10 in the stage." The principal said with a mischievous smile.
"I wanna fight with..."
"That guy is weak, I..."
"I will fight..."
All of students speaking differently things at the same time is like a big wave, the judges got annoyed too.
Rick stepped on the ground, and said loudly.
"Enough!"
The students got unstable with the shot, it's like the ground is trembling.
'This judge have soil power and great control, is it Tier 3?' Lucas thought doubtful, and looked to his feet and the stage isn't trembling.
"Come by name, in alphabetical order.The teacher will call only once, if you don't wanna fight then do not answer." the principal said helpless.
