It was still afternoon when Theon returned to his room. The wooden bucket he filled with water was still there. He wrinkled his nose. With the amount of dirt and grime on his body, wiping with a washing rag wouldn't cut it. He needed to make his way into the river. But it was still four in the afternoon; it wouldn't be light out for some hours.

“Aish!” He stomped on the ground, raking a finger through his hair.

Kraaa!

    It was still afternoon when Theon returned to his room. The wooden bucket he filled with water was still there. He wrinkled his nose. With the amount of dirt and grime on his body, wiping with a washing rag wouldn't cut it. He needed to make his way into the river. But it was still four in the afternoon; it wouldn't be light out for some hours. “Aish!” He stomped on the ground, raking a finger through his hair. Kraaa! The sound made Theon's heart skip multiple beats. He looked down at the floorboard. Hairline cracks were spreading from the spot he stomped on, and dust was already dropping to the floor below his. His mouth opened and closed, eyes wide with incredulity. “It can't be, right? I'm not that heavy. The house really won't collapse because of me, right? Damn! I'm very broke. I can't even afford to feed myself at this point. How can I compensate the academy?” As if in response, a louder kraaa sound followed, and he felt the building shake. He quickly stepped back, gas

    The person's shout had everyone's gaze focusing on the silhouette at level twelve. Theon looked up, his pale emerald eyes slightly darker than normal and clouded with bloodlust. He staggered forward, tottering dangerously near the edge. Someone gasped. Falling from the twelfth floor was certain death. People began to float down to the ground floor, Theon staggered towards the hanging staircase which led downwards. The staircase revolved, dropping him on the ground floor. Theon took an unsteady step forward. With each movement blood dropped to the floor, as if he'd taken a deep soak in a vat filled with blood. Soren's eyes narrowed, watching Theon, suspicion visible in all his features. His forefinger tapped against his sword, as he quickly scanned Theon. Try as much as he could, seeing Theon’s cultivation was impossible. He also couldn't check the extent of the injuries he had sustained. ‘Could he be wearing a rare artefact or treasure?’ Soren shook his head, confused. ‘But where

    MARTIAL COLLOSEUM.A loud blare echoed across all levels of the monster realm, signalling the end of the trials. At the same time, a gigantic building at the edge of the martial arena began to light up. The building was a gigantic white tower which had space crystals and space runes carved all along it in strategic points of its frame. The building was shaped like a spire, and had eighteen floors. Legend has it that no one had ever entered the seventeenth and eighteenth floor, except one person. Each floor was circular with numerous doors. You can not enter one section from another, because all those glowing doors were portals leading to different locations. The first floor had doors leading to the first ring of the monster realm, which was also the first level. The second realm had portals leading into the second level, same with the third one, and upwards. While entering the monster realm, everyone entered from the pavilion which had a central system to determine each person's

    Theon immediately turned and began to run, trying to put as much space as possible between him and the point of potential explosion. As he ran, a thought occurred to him, making his footsteps stutter to a stop. “This ain't right. If I keep running like this, what about the previous beast cores from the creatures I already killed? They will all explode. What will be my gain then? All my suffering would have been for naught.” Theon turned around and faced the beast. “No, I have to figure out a way to stop it from exploding.” His mind ran a scan of possible suppression artefacts and talismans to hold the beast in place. He didn't have any, but the system might have one available in its inventory for exchange. “System, are you there?” No answer. The system didn't want to show its ugly head. “System.” Still no answer. Theon cursed out under his breath. The Dino’s shadow was getting larger and larger, with more quantities of blood spurting out of the injury. Six minutes to

    Theon called back his weapons into his hands with a thought, chest rising and falling steadily as he circulated energy through his meridians. His body was already healing his internal injuries from when the Dino's tail sent him flying.Grrrh! The creature roared again, its teeth jagged and terrifying. Theon scoffed. “Thirteen minutes to go, Dino friend, I can't waste all day with you. I'm quite interested in the energy from your other friends here.”His words seemed to have infuriated the creature for it rushed forward, neck swinging towards Theon. Theon disappeared, his movement technique turning him into a streak of grey wind that whooshed through the crack between the creature’s giant legs to reappear behind it. He pushed out his ultimate attack power, sending his sword straight to the Dino's lethal tail. The creature was quick, worthy of being a level thirteen monstrous beast. The moment he sensed Theon disappearing from his initial position, its head snapped back, guessing h

    Theon gradually cut off the flow of energy and drew in deep, ragged breaths. He forced his lungs to steady. He forced the raw aegis already burning inside him to settle, and stop tearing at his meridians. After screaming out his frustration, something in his head cleared. The fog lifted. His mind went cold and sharp. The rage that had been bleeding from his eyes vanished. Only absolute concentration remained. Since this was the path he chose, he would walk it with strong faith. Anything was better than being a lowly worm anyone could trample. He would fight. He would carve out opportunities where only thorns and rocks existed. The world never helped him anyway. Never gave him the favorable eye. Why should he expect them to start now? It had always been like this. Whatever he wanted was always obtained by selling his blood, flesh and soul, bit by painful bit. The first two beasts lunged. Theon bent backward at an unnatural angle, spine curving like a bow. The two monsters oversh
