Chapter 204 - Talent Revealed

 As the instructor ordered him to push it to its limit, Ryker didn't hold back any of his power. When the talisman power is unleashed, the sword it formed is the size of a small building.

 The sword even glows brightly, almost like a powerful bonfire. Ryker was unable to hold the power any longer and threw it to the dummy. However, instead of just piercing the dummy, a huge explosion was what happened, the explosion was so bright almost everyone else was blinded by it.

 When everyone's vision returned, the sight that they saw shocked them to the core. The training field had turned into a crater, and the rest of the dummies didn't survive the terrifying explosion.

 Everyone who watched what happened had the same thought, 'If that hit me, there will be nothing left to bury. I must not antagonize that person!'

 As they were still awestruck by the crater, a series of claps was heard. They turned their heads towards the sound, to see the most talented Genesis Grade 6 Alchemist clapping at Ryker. Behind him are his equals, one who could become a Genesis Grade 8 of their respective professions.

 They walked towards Ryker, the leading figure had a face filled with mirth. "You should stop showing your talent, young one. You are already able to make pills, a sword, and a token when you just beginning, all of them are Genesis Grade 1 items,"

 When the alchemist finished speaking, the silence was so prominent that one could hear a pin drop. After all, they had heard what could be considered ludicrous if it was said by anyone else except for the most talented figure in alchemy.

 "So, he did not fail,"

 "Then, why did he go to the other department?" 

 "Shush! They probably said it!"

 The alchemist gave a huge grin at the young man, "After all, you do want to master, or at least become a Genesis Grade 1 of every major profession, didn't you?"

 Frankly speaking, Ryker didn't want to talk about it with the alchemist, as he must have wanted the rest to find out. As for the reason, he couldn't care less but he knew trying to leave would leave a bad impression, hence why he decided to stay, not to mention even answering him.

 "Yes, I already reached the Genesis Grade 1 out of 4 of 5 major professions, that left only formation making," he answered, wanting to see how the alchemist would act next.

 Unsurprisingly, his answer caused the hall to become silent once again, most of the people in the vicinity too shocked to say anything else. After all, they just heard what could be considered a ridiculous notion, after all, learning the 5 major professions is, no, should be impossible.

 Mastering even one major profession will take a large portion of one lifespan, not to mention all 5, which should be impossible. However, the young man had achieved that, not to mention reaching the Grade 1 in less than a day for every profession so far. 

 All that is left is to see if he possessed the same talent in formation though most of the executives had agreed that he most likely possessed a talent in formation-making as well.

 While he hasn't performed a single formation-making so far, his talents in all of the other professions pointed out the likelihood of him able to master the craft of formation-making as high.

 As the alchemist seemed to have nothing else to say, Ryker decided to leave for now. After all, there is nothing else for him to do. He does hope this little drama will end by tomorrow.

 When he arrived at the arena, he was met with an unpleasant sight. Mashia is currently fighting. However, her state clearly shows she should be considered to be defeated and sent out of the arena.

 Her opponent is clearly toying with her, which makes sense as the man facing the dragon princess is at the Genesis Core, a major realm higher than Mashia. The referee clearly didn't plan on calling the match judging from the perverted look on his face.

 With her clothes in tatters, Ryker could tell how they all drooling and lusting at Mashia's body, which made him angry. This anger got worse when the blade his opponent used almost cut her clothes, likely leaving nothing to cover her body.

 "Enough," he said, a terrifying aura engulfing the arena. The spectators and the referee suffered from the aura, almost fainting from terror alone. However, it was Mashia's opponent that suffered the most.

 Most of the aura he unleashed hit him, making him froth from his mouth as Ryker didn't hold back, wanting to harm the one that likely had a horrible design for his lover. If he wanted to not play fair, then he would not get a fair opponent.

 When the man is truly unconscious, he stops the aura, letting the rest recover from the fear of the deity he had just given to them. The referee looked anxious, clearly knowing something went wrong but didn't know why.

 The 'why' decided to show himself, gripping the referee's shoulder, "I think you should announce the winner," he 'advised' the man, "or I might decide to have a serious 'talk' with you,"

 The man realizes the 'talk' will not involve any actual talking and decides he wants to live, or at least not get beaten to a bloody pulp by someone who could make everyone in the arena tremble in fear.

 "The winner, the Dragon Fighter," if not for the fact he was worried about her, Ryker would have shook his head. Not wanting anyone to take advantage of her, Ryker grabbed the dragon princess before carrying her outside the arena. The fight, or more accurately beating, took a lot out of her by how she went limp and unconscious by the time he carried her.

 The referee, spectators, and managers of the arena clearly wanted to say something but a glare and burst of aura 'convinced' them there was no need to say anything else. He then carried her to their home, the rest in tow.

 When they returned, the children were excited and wanted to play. That excitement changed to worry when they saw their eldest brother has a grim look on his face while carrying an injured Mashia.

 "Big sis," Ariana called out, tears forming in her eyes. Ryker used his qi to carry the baby and put her in his arms as well before going to his room.

 "Don't worry, big sis will be fine, she just needs some sleep and medication, okay?" he said, wanting to assure his youngest sibling. 

 The girl merely nodded, hugging him even tighter. Ryker decided to sleep quickly after he changed and bathed the dragon girl. The rest decided to let him sleep with Mashia, knowing he likely worried about her.
