The moment Tyrion felt the vibration, his expression changed and before he could do anything, the peculiar force ran through him, giving him a jolt that made him unbalanced.
Noticing what was about to happen, Tyrion released massive bursts of energy into the air, but it was all for naught as his body tilted sideways.
Involuntarily, he took a step backward to stabilize his body. In that instant, his body remained still like a frozen lake. But his brows were furrowed, revealing his extremely troubled expression. It was as if he couldn’t believe what had just happened.
His cold eyes settled on the lady before him. She seemed only a year older than him, around 17 to 18 years of age but the maturity within her eyes revealed the wisdom within. One who underestimates her would surely regret it.
Theryscira drew back her sword. An indifferent expression on her face, not at all concerned about Tyrion’s cold expression. Keeping her human-sized blade behind her back, she walked towards the Gryananium Stone and picked it up after putting on a glove. She was about to leave when a voice rang out to her, “Wait!”
Theryscira paused her step. Her eyes shifted backward at Tyrion and she snorted. “What? Do you want to go back on your word? Doesn’t be a sore loser.”
Tyrion’s fists clenched tightly upon her words. His face was slightly pale and his muscles trembling slightly. He swallowed hard and squeezed out a word from his mouth. “How?”
Theryscira tilted her head and after a few seconds, she turned around to face Tyrion. A slight bit of amusement was on her face as she observed Tyrion from the top to bottom.
“It’s called forced vibration. When you become familiar with fiend energy, you might have a chance to comprehend it.”
Confusion clouded Tyrion’s face even more. This was the first time he was hearing about Force vibration. With the system, he didn’t think his talent would be any lower than that of others out there. But even then, the distance between him and a supernal appears to be even further than he had initially thought.
Seeing the confusion on Tyrion’s face, Theryscira sighed and proceed to open his eyes to more. She acknowledged his strength and knew if he were to go all out, it might be difficult to take the stone without getting injured which will be bad considering the upcoming rumbling battle.
“Do you have any idea why they separated us into three categories? Troopers, Elite and Supernals?”
Tyrion’s brows furrowed. Staring into her eyes, he replied in an obvious manner. “Fiend energy.”
Theryscira shook her head in disdain. “Elites are all about talents but Supernals are on another whole new level. If it was all about fiend energy, why would they allow someone like me into the supernal.”
“Impossible!” Tyrion shook his head in disbelief! All this time, he thought they chose supernal based on their Fiendgod talent, Theryscira’s words seem to have shattered his entire logic. If supernal weren’t chosen based on whether they could be Fiendgod , what was the basis of the college selection then?
Raising her index finger to point at her head, she responded. “Comprehension! What good is talent without comprehension? Without comprehension, talent is only for show.”
“It might be extremely difficult for someone to fully comprehend legendary techniques and develop Fiendgod energy. However, its also extremely simple.”
“If you can’t even comprehend Force vibration, you are better off staying at the troopers’ class.”
After saying this, she instantly stomped her feet and leaped out of the hole she had arrived from. But before she left, her voice resounded within the lab. “Don’t be naive and think there’s only one path to evolution. If we could create the Fiendgod path, others could create a whole new set of path, maybe the arcane path.”
Tyrion’s mind jolted and his eyes went blank. It took a whole hour for Tyrion to settle on the news he had just received. Suddenly, he released a chuckle and slumped to the floor.
The laugh was filled with bitterness and also one of madness. “Theryscira. Tut, Tut, Tut. Sly b*tch. She really almost broke me.”
After adjusting his mental state, he dusted himself.
“She didn’t go easy on me, at least using 60 percent of her strength. But my body was stronger than she thought, the force was merely reduced to a mere vibration, pushing me backward. What a move!”
“But 90 percent of her words should be true, only exaggerated.”
But Tyrion knew he had been too arrogant! The moment he saw what the system could do, he had looked down on everyone, and that might eventually get him killed.
Arrogance was different from confidence. Challenging the Instructors, showing off his skills before everyone else when he could simply finish the competition in one move was also arrogance. He needed to tone things down before he gets killed. While he had been keeping a low profile, it wouldn’t hurt to continue keeping it.
Tyrion sighed and immediately sat crossed-legged. His mind went back to the feeling he had felt upon Theryscira’s attack. The vibration was subtle, not at all triggering his internal alarm, crossing unhindered as it went to his internal organ. He could notice that the attack was purely made from genetic energy. But it was extremely silent and deadly at the same time.
He was just unable to make out the frequency being used.
After an hour of contemplation, Tyrion’s eyes suddenly flashed open. It wasn’t just a frequency, but a mix of various possible frequencies combined to form a more deadly force. Which is called Force Vibration!
Softly a hand stretched out toward the ground. The ground was already cracked with uneven spider-web-shaped patterns on the walls of the large underground room.
Suddenly, a faint buzzing sound could be heard a taunting wave of power developed, seeping through the hand and penetrating the ground, spreading out in all corners of the ground.
A rumbling sound faintly rang out from the ground. Increasing rapidly in volume, when the ten crescendo reached its peak, the entire underground was rumbling violently! The cracks started to rapidly expand as pieces of the ceiling started to fall to the ground with dust feeling the entire underground lab.
He had actually successfully practiced Force vibration! But Tyrion wasn’t complacent neither did he show any sign of happiness upon his successful comprehension of the force. It had actually taken him three days to achieve this success and he had no idea how long it took for those in the supernal class but they should be better than him since he had no idea about the Force vibration two days ago.
The murky air stirred violently as Tyrion exhaled through his nose.
Vibrating his muscles in a frequency that kills bacteria but not enough to harm his skin, Tyrion rose to his feet and his eyelid covered his pupils.
All of a sudden, he punched out three times in the air!
“Boom!” “Suuuu!” “Bang!”
At first, the air exploded violently at first as though a massive pressure had been released. Then a ripping sound of the air barrier being broken sounded with another explosive sound of the air imploding as though a grenade had gone off within.
Tyrion took back his fist and inhaled, but he couldn’t help but smile at the end. Although it took days, he was finally able to master force vibration. Now he was closer to those in the supernal class. But then, he didn’t think he had the strength to match them. They weren’t any less than him. He possess his own trump card and there was no doubt they possess their own trump card.
He wasn’t sure he could gain the advantage if he battles any of them.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Tyrion prepared to leave the underground lab. Since Theryscira came here herself and immediately left after grabbing a hold of the Gryananium Stone, it meant that was the only important object within the lab that could attract her attention. Even the appearance of the evolution pod didn’t phase her in the slightest.
Shaking his head to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts Tyrion saw through his holographic watch that he had several notifications. He immediately opened it up and his jaw dropped.
[Rankings List]
[1. Tyrion Methusela – 203,600 kill points]
[2. Fae Brighton – 96,034 ]
[3. Tryston Bane – 72,000 ]
[4. Theryscira Amazon – 66,000]
“Hmm?” Tyrion seems confused. Apart from becoming first place, he had never heard of these names in the trooper class and he could also see a name he was familiar with, Theryscira Amazon.
The name Theryscira was pretty rare therefore, Tyrion knew the one on the rankings list was the lady he had met six days ago and had a brief battle with.
His eyes squinted as he scrolled through the names on the rankings list. They should all be supernal with incredible strength even fiercer than Theryscira. But Tyrion wasn’t intimidated nor was he arrogant to think he would be able to defeat them since he had learned the ultimates of the three basic waves, there were still some things they would have been taught and he had yet to know.
To the supernal, he was just like a baby who was just learning to walk.
