As Adrian scanned through his new status, he couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction. His stats were outrageous, surpassing even most warriors at middle to late levels of second class, despite only being Level 50.
This overwhelming growth was thanks to the Eternal Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, which not only increased his attributes but also boosted the attributes of his women.
Every night of dual cultivation granted him exponential progress, and now, after reaching his Second-Class advancement, he could finally break past the Level 10 skill cap and push his strongest techniques even further.
“I need to test my new power,” he thought, the anticipation coursing through his veins like fire.
Instead of rushing off to inform his women, he took a deep breath and commanded the system within the Virtual Training Chamber.
“System, generate high-level monsters. I need a real challenge.
The air inside the Virtual Training Chamber grew heavy as Adrian made his request. A deep hum resonated through the space, and the ground beneath his feet pulsed with a crimson glow. The system responded immediately.
☰ Command Accepted.☰ Generating opponents above Level 80…
A deafening roar split the silence as the chamber morphed around him. The flat training grounds twisted and expanded, the terrain shifting into a battlefield of ruin and fire.
Jagged black spires jutted from the ground like the bones of an ancient dragon. Rivers of molten lava flowed through cracks in the earth, filling the air with blistering heat.
Above, the sky darkened, clouds swirling in an unnatural storm, lightning flickering between them.
A low, guttural growl rumbled through the chamber. Then, the first enemy emerged.
But before Adrian could even focus on the upcoming fight, he paused. His red eyes narrowed as he replayed the system’s words in his head,"wait. Why the hell was the system talking like that?"
Frowning, Adrian folded his arms. “Oi. What’s with this way of talking all of a sudden?”
For a moment, the system remained silent. Then, a response materialized in glowing text before him.
☰ Oh? You noticed?☰ I thought I’d spice things up a bit. Didn't I tell earlier, you humans are easily tired of old things, so I am coming up with this style of talking to keep the training chamber fresh.
Adrian ran a hand down his face, exhaling slowly. “...You’ve gotta be kidding me.”
☰ Oh, come on. It’s fun. Just go with it!
Shaking his head in exasperation, Adrian muttered, “If only this thing was not useful, I would have shut it down forever.”
With a sigh, he rolled his shoulders. "Whatever."
If his system likes to act retarded, let it be. He’d just ignore it and focus on the real task—testing his new power.
Adrian drew his sword, golden draconic energy surging to life around him as he turned toward his first opponent.
"Time to see what Level 80 monsters were really made of," he murmured to himself as he readied himself facing towards the monster that was generated inside the chamber.
A colossal figure stepped forward from the shifting shadows—an Obsidian Hellbeast, its molten veins glowing like magma beneath its blackened steel-like hide.
Standing at least four meters tall, the creature’s molten claws scraped against the stone, sending up sparks. Its glowing crimson eyes locked onto Adrian, and with a beastly snarl, it charged.
BOOM!
The ground cracked beneath its weight as it surged forward, moving with terrifying speed for something of its size. Adrian didn’t flinch. His golden draconic aura exploded outward as he activated Dragon’s Might, his muscles surging with raw power.
“Let’s see what you’ve got.”
With a single Shadow Vein Step, Adrian vanished—a blur of motion—just as the Hellbeast’s claws tore through the air where he had been standing. The shockwave from its missed attack sent fissures through the ground, molten lava erupting from below.
Adrian reappeared above the beast, blade drawn, his golden eyes gleaming. He twisted mid-air, channeling mana into his sword. Dragon’s Fang Strike!
A crescent arc of draconic energy surged from his blade, slamming into the Hellbeast’s armored back. The impact tore through its molten hide, sending blackened shards flying. The beast roared in pain, but it wasn’t done yet. It reared back, its massive chest glowing brighter—
It was about to unleash a breath attack.
Adrian’s instincts screamed at him. His body moved before he even thought, his Vein-Touched Reflexes allowing him to react in an instant.
He disappeared once more, this time using Void Step to slip into the shadows—right as the Hellbeast unleashed a torrent of white-hot flames.
FWOOSH!
The flames consumed everything in their path, melting the stone, turning the battlefield into an inferno. Adrian reappeared on the beast’s blind side, his expression unreadable. The monster barely had time to react before he extended a single hand.
“Draconic Pulse.”
A shockwave of golden energy erupted from his palm, point-blank. The force sent the Hellbeast skidding backward, molten chunks of its body splattering across the battlefield.
But before Adrian could capitalize on the opening, a chill ran down his spine.
A killing intent. Cold. Calculated.
His eyes snapped to the side—just in time to see a second opponent emerging from the storm of fire.
