Ryo blue flames decreased, and disappeared like snow melting in his body, but he looked happy.Ryo is a serious person, to make him happy, must be a good thing.
"What happened?" Bai asked curiously.
Ryo don't responded and just extended his hands, and a bright blue flame appears.Even though it don't changed colors, it looks much more condensed, so the power must be stronger now.
"Thank you, Lucas." Ryo said after he extinguished his flames.
"If it is me, then I would make several Tier 7 for the humanity." Lucas rolled the eyes.
Everyone nodded, if words can make people advance to Tier 7, then it is too ridiculous.Ryo is talented and his father has a high position, so energy stones aren't a problem too, his only problem is that he think too much about others.This affect his power comprehending, so hearing Lucas's words, he thought more about his power than the others.
"Let's sleep then, tomorrow will be our turn, even though a Tier 8 monster is weak to us, we have to take it seriously." Ryo said and lied down.
They got impressed that Ryo just went to sleep, even though he just got stronger.Even Lucas can't do it, he get excited when he upgrades.But everyone go to sleep, there is nothing to do in this empty place anyway.
*****
The sun just rise and a sound reverberate through the base, everyone got up quickly.Lucas didn't get up, he just opened the eyes and looked to the still dim sky, seeing everyone standing, he then got up.
"We will continue the preliminaries now, I know that you guys are hungry, but eating after a victory is better.So support it and fight for the victory, you are just a step away." the Vice-Admiral appeared with several soldiers behind him and said loudly.
Everyone got a little excited, even though only the top ones will go to the best schools, but they can go to weaker schools if they pass this.They even forgot about the hungry, they aren't normal humans anymore, not eating for a day is just discomfort, it won't affect their performance.
More 100 monsters are brought again, and they put 20 in the field every time.The students have a better result than yesterday, it is unknown if it is the Vice-Admiral speech or the stronger ones arrived.
After several rounds, there is no Tier 9 entering the field.Lucas looked around and there is only around 500 people who don't entered the field yet.
This time Liz are called to the field, Lucas's group got curious how she is gonna fight.They aren't very preoccupied, her previous group won't let her enter if her power is just weak like that.
Liz looked to the monster seriously, when she entered, she chose her opponent and ran to him.The monster ran to her too, it knows that it can only fight.
When Liz is near the monster, she took a dagger from behind.She attacked the monster with it, the monster don't care and attacked too, but the dagger suddenly passed through her hand.She caught the dagger with her other hand and contorted her body to dodge the monster attack, and she craved the dagger in the monster eyes.
When she hit, her hand passed through the dagger again and she stepped to the side.Just after that, the monster screamed and crazily attacked around him, after a while it stopped and looked to Liz with the remaining eye.
Liz has another dagger in her hand, and she waved her hand to provoke the monster.After doing the same thing 3 times, the monster died, he lost his eyes and a dagger penetrate it's mouth.Lucas's group looked to that in disbelief, Liz is quiet normally, and she brutally killed the monster like that.
"She is really courageous, making this type of attack 3 times.The first time it can be called lucky, but doing it 3 times it is ability, but the estress with this type of fight is immense.It is like standing near death every fight." Ryo analyzed and said in admiration.
Lucas looked with admiration to her too, he can fight with his life in risk sometimes, but doing it in every fight is so worn out to the mind and the body.He won't even want to fight anymore if every fight is a life and death battle, so he admired her.
Liz got out of the field and came to them, she didn't say anything like usual, but they included her more.In the beginning she is with them just because she buyed things to Lucas, now they respects she more than before.
After a while, Bai and Edward are called, they easily resolved the monsters and got back.Seeing that the rest of the people can easily deal with the monsters, a official appeared in the field.
"From now, if you want take a stronger monster, you will gain a energy stone." the official said.
"We can do it again?" Bai immediately lifted his hand and asked.
His family is poor, so he arrived here with the luck in the beginning, talent, and effort to search about lightning.Now his knowledge of lightning is big, he knew the basic of the physics aspects of the lightning, and he knows several myths about lightning too, so if he has energy, he can achieve the peak of Tier 8 and breakthrough to Tier 7 with his knowledge.
The official nodded and a third of the guys who passed went to the field.The special soldiers bought 20 different monsters, it looks stronger than the previous ones, because these special soldiers brought 100 monster previously, but now they brought only 20.It looks that isn't so easy to control them like the previous ones.
There is 5 guys including Bai in the field, so the soldiers let 5 monsters go too.When they entered, they roared and separated from each other, it looks like monsters don't get closer if aren't a order from a more powerful monster.
Bai looked seriously to the monster, but he isn't afraid, they are Tier 8 too, just in the peak.With his lightning power, he think that he has a chance to win this monster.These monsters don't have double power or a evolved power, the army won't let this advantage happens, so Bai has a little confidence in killing it.
The monster isn't big, it is the size of a gray wolf, it is small for a peak Tier 8, but Bai don't underestimate it because of that.These monsters normally are faster, and it is the most dangerous ones, principally in the wild.Now is a face to face combat, but in the wild these types of monsters stay in the shadows and only gave lethal attacks.
The monster jumped in Bai's direction and bite his neck, this movement is obvious, but if he dodged, the next step will be dominate by the monster, because it was faster.So Bai got determined and punched it's mouth.
His punch just entered the monster's mouth, and it wanted to bite, but suddenly a big lightning surged on his fist.The lightning immediately fried the monster's mouth and even the brain.
It's body still got forward and threw Bai to the ground, the official got prepared to save him, but the monster don't make a move, neither Bai.Everyone watching got confused, but after a while, a hand pushed the monster body to the side.
Even though he killed the monster instantaneously, he looks so tired, even pushing it's body away is hard.Everyone understands now, attacking with all energy in a attack really is strong, but almost no one do this.When the person perceive that the opponent is stronger than himself, the energy already has been partially used, so using the rest is almost useless, so escaping is a better choice.
After all energy is used, you will be weak for a while, even killing the opponent is useless.In the wild several monsters can pass by you and do nothing, but if they sensed that you are in a weak state, they probably will take advantage, but this is a test, so using this now is pretty smart.
After a while, the others finished too, only one other than Bai killed the monster, 2 others hold up the required time, only one is defeated and a official saved him.
"You can fight novice Tier 7 monsters too, you will gain 5 energy stones." the official entered the field and said.
Bai and the others smiled bitterly, this guy must be mocking them.Only Bai and another guy can kill the monster, and Bai got without energy and the other guy is injured, the others only runned.Fighting a Tier 7 is trying to kill yourself.
They denied and the official threw a energy stone to the ones who achieved victory or hold up the monster.The guy who lose looked annoyed, he just fighted to shame himself without rewards.
