And that would be none other than the icy Pond.
Fenix immediately entered into the pool, and immediately a terrifying coldness assaulted his muscles, his organs and even his blood seemed to be freezing.
He immediately revolved the True Origin Martial Scripture, as his true origin essence continously fought against the coldness as this in turn forced the coldness to seep into every bit and part of his body.
His flesh, every single hidden part which hadn't been thoroughly tempered where being tempered continously. His whole body was being strengthened at a faster rate compared to when he cultivated normally.
He could feel the Icy coldness assaulting his entire flesh, and continously refining them. Making them far stronger, and more durable.
He had a light smile on his face as he rapidly revolved his true origin Martial scripture.
********
He didn't know how long it had been, his eyes suddenly flared brightly. As a loud defeating explosion rocked the entire space.
BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
He immediately stood up with a wide grin on his face, as he continously glanced at his body. He could feel the intense energy brimming through his entire body and this was only as a result of him attaining the peak of the third stage, he was still some steps short of attaining the fourth stage- bone forging and marrow cleansing realm.
He immediately rose up from the Icy Pond, as he felt a soothing feeling wash over his entire body. He grabbed a hold of his spear.
And some minutes after...
********
A figure could be seen standing under the waterfall as the figure made simple moves with a purplish spear.
Thrust!!!!!
Pierce!!!!
Block!!!!
The figure continously moved under the waterfall, as the waterfall smashed against his body with terrifying force. Revealing a dark abysmal pupil and violet hair, the figure was none other than Fenix.
He had a wide grin on his face, as he felt the terrifying force that smashed against his bones. This was no doubt a form of training, a form of bone forging, though one made of a psychopath.
Cause no one in his or her right frame of mind would cultivate in such a way.
He let out countless grunts, as he felt countless bones breaking apart, his entire body cracking under the pressure yet he continously performed the art of the spear, the foundation spear technique.
His bones were being rapidly healed by the true origin essence, as he continued onwards with this daring training. His entire body was soaked maybe in water or in sweat...he let out a light smile as he continously struck out at the empty space.
Sometimes smashing against the waterfall itself, as his entire arm would ache intensely from the impact of the strike, yet this didn't stop him but instead pushed him further...
He had a look of determination on his face, as he suddenly remembered about the Eradication of the Asura Clan.
A loud roar escaped his lips, his hands clenched tightly around the spear, as he smashed against the waterfall with terrifying force.
His movements became more rapid, more fluidity became attached to it, as he weaved the spear through the waterfall with great dexterity.
Every move brought with it the further steadiness of his usage of the spear, as the spear no longer wriggled around his hand. His hands easily held it as he continously pierced, thrust, block, sweep...
This continued for quite a long time, as he felt his arm swell up continously, bloating up intensely. Almost as though it would explode if given the chance.
Though it was reducing due to his true origin essence but so was it enlarging as he continued. His whole arm scored badly, his arm ached him intensely. But every time he remembered how helpless they were against the assassins, how his whole family had been unjustly murdered and killed. Every corpse, every blood that flowed he vowed to take them back!!!
A loud roar escaped his lips as he threw out a terrifying swipe.
SLAASSSH!!!!
SPLATTER!!!!!
Water splashed against his face and body as the voice of the deacon suddenly tire through the air.
"Time up."
He breathed heavily, as he let out a slight exhalation.
Grabbing a tight hold on his spear, he made his way towards the deacon.
The deacon upon sewing where he had just come down for.
'Don't tell me it's what I am thinking... What a mad man.'
The deacon shook his head, as he suddenly spoke.
"Seems that you want to get stronger rather badly. And I can feel that you have grown quite stronger compared to before." The Deacon said with a narrowed brow, as he further added
"It seems your points are all used up."
"Yes." Fenix replied with a wry smile on his face.
"Would you like to know of a way to get more training time and more points."
Fenix raised his brow from the words of the deacon, as his voice immediately tore through the air.
"And what might that be."
The deacon let out a smilght smile as he spoke.
"It's quite simple, you just have to get onto the Earthly rankings of the True killing array."
"Hmm... Alright, thanks." He replied with a light smile as he immediately made way to leave.
On his way out of the chamber, he immediately learnt all he could about the true killing array through the PNA smart watch.
The true killing array was actually a kind of array that simulates battles, but unlike normal battle arrays, one's death within a killing array would really signify one's death in the real world.
"Seems that the martial house wants to train the mind of the disciples." He muttered in understanding.
It was quite simple after all, to get resources, prove your worth and show you are superior to other geniuses.
He had a light smile on his face as he immediately changed directions, immediately heading for the true killing array.
*********
Arriving at the true killing array, he had a light smile on his face as he stood before the deacon in charge.
"I will like to enter the true killing array."
The deacon immediately grabbed a hold of Fenix's hand. Checking his PMH smart watch, he realized that there was actually no points whatsoever.
He was about to send Fenix away when he suddenly saw the golden star on Fenix's uniform.
'Hmm... The first tanker. I was also wondering what a New-Cadet would be doing here.'
"Alright, as the First tanker of the new cadet, you are given three chances to visit the true killing array without paying..."
He had a light smile on his face as he had already expected this. He had learnt everything that could be learnt about the true killing array within that short moment of time.
The deacon handed him the array exiting stone which he immediately recognized.
'Sigh... Who could have known knowledge could be this fascinating and interesting.'
He had a wide smile on his face, as for the first time ever he actually knew about something without being need to be told.
He immediately moved past the deacon, as he stepped onto a circular array, standing right at the center of the array.
As he was suddenly transported elsewhere...
His violet eyes flared to life, as he immediately noticed countless monsters rapidly approaching him.
Each exuding the cultivation stage which made Fenix shake his head as a loud boisterous laughter left his lips.
"Really... All I have to do is to defeat a bunch of first stage beasts..." He echoed out in shock, as a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted forth from his body as he immediately arrived behind a bunch of first stage beasts.
His spear immediately weaved through the air.
BAAANG!!!!
SPLUTTER!!!!
Rain of blood splattered all over his cloth, as within a blink of a second, he moved at incredible speed.
Easily eradicating the three first stage beast.
And just outside...
A column could be seen, and the bottom of the column immediately lit up.
The deacon glanced at it with a light smile.
"He isn't the first tanker for nothing after all, but still he surely isn't a match for that Monstrous narciccist." The deacon said, as he couldn't help but narrow his brows.
The second rune had lit up... Then came the third...
The deacon had a look of shock on his face.
"This means it had only taken Fenix a few second of time to kill around 5 third stage beasts."
Within the killing array, a kid with abysmal dark pupil and violet hair could be seen in both of his knees, as blood dripped down his arms, eyes and body continously. Various holes could be seen on his body.
Although it seemed as though he was overpowered, but he actually knew best that he wasn't.
He had made use of a tactic, make use of all his strength within a split second of time.
And that he had made use of... All his true origin essence were already used up. As he had already gone above his limits.
He let out a deep exhalation, as a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon him.
He didn't need to be told as he immediately crushed the killing array exiting stone.
For him to face a fourth stage beast in such a state was pure suicide it was actually even worse then courting death.
One which he would gladly run away from...
He immediately appeared outside.
"Wait a minute, won't you treat yourself." The deacon said, as he was shocked by the state at which Fenix was currently in.
"No need." Fenix replied as he dragged his ragged body away. Various cuts and slashes could be seen across his entire body.
The deacon let out a heavy exhalation, as he glanced at Fenix who was leaving and also glanced at the ranking stone.
-Rank 157- Fenix!
"One is at 150, the other is at 157, and some are at 190, 200...seems that this world is welcoming a new Era." The deacon muttered while shaking his head.
"I guess old bags like us should sit down and let the young ones take control." He further added with a wry smile, as he immediately informed the points distributing center.
And Fenix immediately got the notification, a light smile appeared on his face.
As he collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud, just some couple of feet away from his bed...
