The next morning, the sun was out.
After a night of training, Vincent did not feel tired. Instead, he felt refreshed.
He did not know what was going on. It was probably because he had awakened three S-Class superpowers, which had improved his spirit.
After he repeatedly brandished his saber the night before, swinging and pondering, Vincent managed to comprehend the essence of the Collapsing Mountain Strike.
Although it was only a weak point, it was enough to shock everyone.
This was something that he could only comprehend after a real battle.
He knew that he would have a better insight into the power once he left the city and had the opportunity to practice it.
“Ding Dong.”
The doorbell rang.
Vincent opened the door and looked at the deliveryman from the psionic mall. He was stunned for a moment as he did not expect that the delivery would be so fast.
He just bought it the day before and it arrived the next day. The speed was so fast that it even made people click their tongues.
“Mr. Vincent, your delivery.”
Vincent took it and closed the door. He could not wait to open the package.
He picked up a dark black, 10 cm wide and 1.2 m long battle saber.
The blade was emitting a cool light; it was obviously really sharp.
“My money did not go to waste.”
Vincent was pleasantly surprised.
He was very satisfied with his saber.
Aside from superpowers, there were also weapons that could be used to deal with monsters.
The weapons were made from a type of psionic ore found in the black hole.
Psionic ore could allow weapons to be imbued with superpowers.
Ordinary weapons could be considered F-Class weapons if a little was added.
Vincent’s saber contained a good amount of psionic ore. It was enough for Vincent to use it until he became an intermediate-level superpower person.
After putting all his medicine into the storage ring, Vincent opened the door and took a deep breath. The sun shone brightly on his face. He then walked out of the city full of determination.
An hour later, at the city gate, Vincent was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
“Hello, please show your identification.”
After many years of development, the monsters around the city had been destroyed.
Only some low-level monsters were left for low-level superpower users to train.
In order to prevent high-level monsters from appearing, there were soldiers guarding a certain area. This part of the city was called a safe zone.
Vincent handed his identification to the soldiers. After the soldiers checked his identification, they let him pass.
However, the soldier was skeptical of him.
It seemed impossible for such a young kid like Vincent to leave the city.
This was the first time he had seen a young teenager leave the city to go for practice.
“Maybe he went out to see what the monsters looked like,” the soldier guessed.
Vincent did not know what the soldier was thinking. He went to the wilderness, breathed in the fresh air, and started stretching.
This was the first time he had left the city in more than ten years.
The woodland and flowers outside the city were indeed very refreshing.
However, he was aware that this refreshing feeling was dangerous. If he let his guard down and relaxed, only death would await him.
In the forest, the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.
The safety zone of Ellis city was less than eight kilometers in circumference. The main monsters were of trainee-level.
The closer one was to the center, the stronger the monster was.
There were even rumors that the strongest monster in the safety zone was an intermediate-level monster.
“Moo!”
A furious roar was heard not very far away from Vincent.
Vincent quickly took out his saber. He had never expected that the first battle to come so quickly.
As he turned his head, he saw a rhinoceros that was covered in a metallic luster. Its eyes were red, and the horn on its nose was shining under the sunlight.
“Steel Rhinoceros, a monster in its probation period.”
Vincent had seen this monster in the monster guide that Chris had given him.
Its entire body was as hard as steel. It ran fast as it was relying on its momentum to launch attacks.
Vincent’s entire body trembled. He could not tell if it was from fear or excitement.
He had no time to think as the steel rhinoceros was just ten meters away.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Vincent raised his saber and strike the rhinoceros.
Clang!
There was no damage to the rhinoceros.
On the contrary, due to the powerful recoil, Vincent was sent flying.
While he was in the air, Vincent twisted his body forcefully. At that moment, he discovered the problem with his battle style.
Fortunately, with the buffer of his battle blade, the Steel Rhinoceros did not cause any damage to him.
Vincent rolled over and landed on the ground.
The Steel Rhinoceros then charged towards Vincent once again.
Vincent remembered the Steel Rhinoceros’s weakness. The Steel Rhinoceros was not agile. He quickly dodged and at the same time, slashed the Steel Rhinoceros’s waist.
Clang!
It still did not do any damage to it.
“I’m still not used to it!”
Vincent shook his head in disappointment and snapped his fingers using his left hand.
He decided to use his special ability to end this meaningless battle.
A cluster of black flames appeared along Vincent’s fingertips. The surrounding space became a little smoky as he casually threw flames on the Steel Rhinoceros.
The Steel Rhinoceros initially thought that it could kill Vincent easily. However, it had failed twice and was very angry.
This time round, it was determined to smash Vincent into pieces.
The Steel Rhinoceros launched another attack. However, when it saw the black flames flying towards it, it felt afraid.
It tried to stop its attack, but because of its inertia, it still slid forward a few dozen meters and was engulfed by the black flames.
S-Class elemental ability, Hellfire!
It was simply a disaster for the Steel Rhinoceros.
Boom!
As soon as the black flames hit the body of the Steel Rhinoceros, a shocking scene unfolded right before Vincent’s eyes.
The raging flames instantly swallowed the entire Steel Rhinoceros, and with the help of the crops on the ground, the fire spread out in all directions.
In the span of one breath, the Steel Rhinoceros disappeared without a trace. Not a single sound was made, and not even a speck of dust was left behind.
If Vincent failed to control Hellfire, the safe zone would have been set ablaze.
Even so, nearly a hundred square meters were still burnt to the ground.
Vincent looked at the black flames on his fingertips and broke out in cold sweat. He had underestimated the terror of Hellfire.
“I killed a trainee monster instantly, how terrifying!”
Vincent exclaimed.
He knew that the Steel Rhinoceros tried to escape after seeing the flames but it was useless.
Vincent guessed that even a novice monster that was about to enter beginner-level would not be able to defend against Hellfire.
After sensing the power consumption in his body, Vincent frowned slightly.
More than ten points of power had been consumed.
He only had 22 points of power!
In theory, he could only use it twice.
If he took any longer, he would probably only be able to use it once.
The consumption made him click his tongue.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an apprentice-level monster, Steel Rhinoceros. You have obtained one upgrade pill.”
“Do you wish to consume it?”
The system’s notification sounded.
“Consume it.”
“Ding! You have successfully consumed the upgrade pill. Your power limit has increased by 5 points.”
Vincent was stunned when he heard the system notification.
He had never expected that the upgrade pill could increase his power limit by so much.
This was roughly equivalent to a day’s worth of intensive training.
“With a few more pills, does it mean that I will become a beginner-level superpower user?”
Vincent muttered. He was surprised.
The system was indeed the fastest way to become stronger!
After checking what he had gained, Vincent set off to explore other places.
