Bai don't care about others looking and just absorbed the energy stone, the lightning around started to spread and get thicker.After a point, the lightning suddenly retreated and got thinner, but the white lightning got purple strands.
The lightning go back to his body, and everything got normal again.Bai started laughing, even though his lightning didn't evolved completely to purple, he now has hope.If he evolve one more time, it will probably become the real purple lightning, learning about it isn't time loss in the end.
"Congratulations, now you aren't under Ryo." a hand patted Bai's shoulder and he heard a voice, looking back, it is Lucas.
"Ryo has a real evolved power, and another one, I don't think I was his opponent now." Bai said calmly.
Even though the lightning is the strongest element in the same tier, they aren't invincible, they are just stronger, but in the end the owner is the most important.And his power is just half evolved lightning, it is still weaker than the blue flames of Ryo.
"Yeah, this is true, but for me lightning is much stronger than fire.Not just destructive power, but the effects.The most terrific aspect of fire is his temperature, but lightning is hot too, it just fast so the temperature isn't perceived.When fire has only one aspect, the lightning has it too and others ones, like paralyze of muscles and nerves, and it's velocity." Lucas said honestly.
Lucas like fire powers too, but it was much directly, if you can melt then you are invincible, but if you aren't able to melt it, then you are dead.Lightning has this characteristic too, but if you encounter something stronger, it is easier to win than with fire.You can paralyze it and escape, while fire will make it want end the fight faster, and you are dead then.
Only if you have speed power too, then this weakness is gone.In the end he don't care because he wants all, but a person with just a possibility, it is better to analyze.
They go back to the group and waited, everyone around is stunned seeing a breakthrough in real time, they wanted the energy stone even more now.
When there is only about 100 persons, it is Lucas turn.He and the other 19 persons entered the field.The first challenge they don't care, even though the ranking isn't absolute, but all of those who are called recently are strong in the Tier 8.
The monsters go there aggressively, but each of the competitors ended them with a blow, only Lucas's monster attacked him.Everyone is dumbfounded seeing that, all of them deal with monster I a moment, only this guy got himself hit.
After receiving the attack, Lucas didn't get the notification, he is disappointed and punched the monster.The monster died instantly, and everyone got even more dumbfounded, why get yourself hit if you can kill it with a hit?
"You can fight a stronger monster for a energy stone, did you all want?" a official asked the same thing.
Everyone nodded, almost everyone in this round are peak Tier 8, so peak monster are possible to kill, if not them it is just run for the required time.It is a little shame, but the energy stone probably can make them go further, even though nobody evolved after Bai.
The soldiers put the stronger monsters in the field, like always the monsters ran to their opponents.Everyone is serious comparable with their relaxed look in the previous round, only Lucas make the same thing, let the monster attack himself.
He don't have much hope, but it won't hurt try anyway.The gray wolf like monster make the same strategy that it used against Bai, just jumped straight and bite his neck.Lucas only put his arm in the front.
The crowd outside, and even the officials are stunned seeing this.Before everyone can react, a metallic sound came from the bite and Lucas's arm.
(The host obtained a Tier 8 sharp teeth meaning, and lacks 1 meaning to upgrade to Tier 7.)
Lucas immediately killed the wolf and looked to the cracked metal covering, and to the strached arm and got surprised.With his double protection, only 2 combined powers can hurt him, or a evolved strength power.This wolf strached his arm even with metal covering, just with a power, but looking to the obtained meaning, he is bitter.
Only animals and monsters fight using the mouth, this sharp teeth meaning would only help he eat hard things when necessary, like the monsters meat and even normal food.
'Whatever, it helped me get closer to Tier 7.' Lucas thought looking to the meaning.
After a while, all fights ended, and even though this is the string batch so far, 3 people loose to the wolf like monster.They win the first round, so they will go to the federation, but the energy stone is out of range.The official threw the energy stones and didn't say nothing more, and everyone started walking out of the field.
"I want to fight a Tier 7 monster for the 5 energy stones." Lucas lifted his hand and said.
The official got surprised, he didn't speak it anymore because everyone will reject the same way, so he just asked for a few rounds and give up.He thought that only the Tier 7 students will probably accept.
He is a efficient man, so even being surprised, he nodded to the soldiers.They go to a place, and after a while they came back with a tiger, even though it is docile, it's eyes are still vicious.It looks that it isn't completely controlled.
"Tier 7 is already the humanity elites so far, so even though is is only a novice, it would be difficult to us save you.If you want give up, now is time." the official said seriously.
Even the Vice-Admiral who has mysterious power, maybe can't save a person from this tiger in the last moment.
"I already killed two Tier 7 monsters, even if I can't win this, I can escape for a while." Lucas said calmly.
He don't said this to show off, he said that to the officials don't intervene in his battle.He know that he can't obtain higher meanings, but he wants to see if he can kill a Tier 7 monster normally.The others times looked a little dangerous, he want have certainly about his power, and the energy stones can be given to others.He don't need it, so helping his friends is good too.
The tiger don't ran directly to him, it just roared and looked around.It seems to be planning how to escape after killing him, after all he is a Tier 8 in the end, to the monsters, it won't look dangerous.
Since it don't ran to him, Lucas ran to it.He don't have fear of Tier 7 monsters, at least novice ones no.He jumped to the tiger, seeing him in the air, the tiger don't care.Only birds can dodge in the air.
This human send himself to death, even the crowd is confused.The tiger just gave a lightly claw attack to the air.
A wind suspended Lucas in the air suddenly, the tiger attack anticipated his trajectory, so it missed.When it missed, the wind suspending Lucas is like a propulsion and send he to the tiger head.
Suddenly a barrier of water and fire appeared in Lucas's front, the fire evaporate the water and a fog hides Lucas.The tiger used his other paw and blow away the fog, but Lucas is already in his head.
He used heavy body in the tiger, and his fingers got golden with blue flames on the type.He make a claw attack to the head of the tiger.The finger penetrate the head like butter, but his finger is too short to kill the tiger, so lightning blow up in the tip of his finger.
Meanwhile the tiger got used to the heavy body and attacked with his claw again, but a lightning fried his brain before that.His claw dropped in mid-air and made thump sound on the ground.Lucas almost fall of the tiger too, he jumped of and landed on the ground.
'I didn't even used all of my powers and consistently can kill a Tier 7 monster.I got stronger than before.' Lucas thought happily.
Only those who seen Lucas killing the stone man aren't surprised, the rest are dumbfounded.A Tier 8 can kill Tier 7 monsters, it is incredible, they heard that some genius doing this around the world, but only the masses belive.The ones that arrives here know the difficulty of that, so they treat those rumors like bullshit.
The official threw 5 energy stones to Lucas and continued the preliminaries.After a while, nobody challenged the Tier 7 monster again, and only 60 people remain, 3 more rounds.
Everyone is excited, probably now will be the last Tier 8 group, everyone knows that 30-40 Tier 7 are in the contest.With the recent ones, like Bai, it would be more than this probably, so even in the next group might be a Tier 7 guy.
They just waited excitedly, looking to the official in the field.
