Chapter 31: This Is The Result Of My Training! Electric Burst Evolved!
Principal Helen's final verdict was cut short as steam was generated from the deep cut in Rentaro's chest.
[You have awakened a new ability!]
[Electro-regeneration(level 1): This ability involves the strengthening of the minor electric currents your body produces with your electric Soul-Energy to increase the speed your body tissues requires to repair and replace the damaged tissues. It only works for injuries such as cuts, bruises and a second degree burn]
"A new ability? Alright, not what I had in mind but I guess it should suffice if it's able to heal my hand."
The Electro-regeneration was not the ability Rentaro had in mind to master. It's sudden awakening reminded him that there was indeed a certain condition that he needed to meet to acquire the dragon's true abilities.
After all, his powers originates from the electric dragon.
"I-impossible!" George stumbled backwards as Rentaro's wounds healed up completely, even the scars left by the explosion in his right hand was healed completely.
"Rentaro Mizuno is still in it!?" The principal exclaimed prompting the spectators to cheer on as the battle was far from over.
[Ding!]
[The Electro-regeneration ability is an ability you can only use once in 3 days due to the excess stamina it consumes while healing your wounds, each time you level up this ability, the stamina it consumes also increases greatly]
The Electro-regeneration ability turned out to be a once in a blue moon technique due to the effects it leaves.
Nonetheless as it was still in level 1 the effects were minor. Rentaro stood to his feet with a no expressions on his face as he spoke to George in a rather dark tone.
"I have seen through your attacks, now the same technique won't work twice on me." His words left George even more enraged.
"Just who the hell is he?" The principal muttered outside the ring to herself, she had never seen an Soul-User who moves like Rentaro and possess the ability he does.
The princess however had already made up her mind to approach him regardless of the outcome of the match.
"There is no way.." As George grew angrier a cloud of dark energy quickly emerged from his back and grew in size. "I'd ever lose to a commoner like you!" He exclaimed in rage.
The dark clouds of energy immediately generated multiple bolts of lightning which surrounded his whole body.
"This is the difference between a D-rank Soul-User and an S-rank, Soul-Technique: Shadow Lightning Mode." As George uttered, his dark Soul-Energy cloaked with lightning covered his entire body like an armo.
"What? Two attributes!?"
A smile stretched across Helen's face, one could say she favoured George over the rest as he was her favorite student.
'What makes an S-rank Soul-User or Soul-Hunter so powerful is the ability to develop two different Soul-Cores. Each Soul-Core has several specific Soul-Types that differs from the others completely.
But an S-rank Soul-User has the potential to utilize two or more Soul-Cores, given them access to one or more Soul-Types. George won't lose to the likes of him.' She thought.
He stretched out his right hand, channeling his shadow and lightning energy simultaneously into his palm.
"Soul-Technique: Dark Lightning Ball."
"This is it for you commoner!" With one thrust, he propelled himself forward with unprecedented speed thanks to the lightning cloak around his body and aimed the ball of at his chest.
"It's over!"
[Skill [Bloodlust Of The Assassin] has been activated]
[Bloodlust Of The Assassin] is a skill he gained during his solo raid. The skill allowed him to fight without the use of his five senses.
It disregards all sense of emotions and feelings and focuses solely on the bloodlust his target releases. It works as a sort of sensor.
In essence, he didn't require his sense of sight and hearing to fight. With a fluid motion, he caught the right hand of George, using his own momentum against him and flinging him over his body and to the ground.
"What!?" Helen exclaimed for the first time in the match. 'At that speed he shouldn't have been able to counter him, how's he doing this!?' She exclaimed in her thoughts.
The spectators were speechless, George looked nothing more than a blur to them, but Rentaro easily predicted his movements.
"It's time I end this once and for all." Rentaro spoke softly, George got to his feet slowly as he tried to understand how all this was possible.
"Don't mock me! You insignificant worm!" Out of anger he dashed forward at Rentaro, building up the ball of dark energy he almost used to end Miyuki's life.
In response, Rentaro subconsciously built up the [Electric Burst] and aimed it directly at the ball of energy with the hope of cancelling it out.
But it was the other way around, the dark ball of energy completely overpowered his [Electric Burst], sending him flying into the barrier of the ring.
"Gh-Bleh!" He groaned, ejecting saliva from his mouth as he fell to the ground.
"Did you actually think your technique could over power mine? Your just a commoner, don't ever assume you can surpass a true royal!"
His words irritated Rentaro completely if there was anything he hated more than drowning in fear and weakness. It was undermining his own abilities.
He knew immediately he couldn't beat George just by the physical attacks he had currently, he had to risk it all on the new technique he was developing if he was going to win this.
He utilized his skill [Bloodlust Of The Assassin] which shut off all necessary emotions and indulged in his instincts to kill.
His eyes glowed an ominous white as he slowly rose to his feet.
"George, you resorted to attempted murder against your sister because you knew she had the potential to surpass you, the worst thing you can ever do to yourself, is to undermine a commoner because of your status."
He grunted softly, stretching his right hand forward as electricity coursed through his it and towards his hand, building up a blue ball of energy in his palm.
As he gradually built up the ball of energy, sparks of electricity surrounded it swiftly. It's intensity ripped the surface of the ring apart little by little and Rentaro's hair danced in the wind generated by the technique.
As George gazed upon Rentaro, a blue blinding light emanated from from his palm forcing everyone to block their eyes and was followed up by a gush of wind.
"Behold George, this is the result of my training."
He immediately recalled the words of Shun Li to his disciple.
'I have more than enough Soul-Energy to do this, contrast, expand.' As he thought, the static ball of electricity grew intensively in size and ferociousness.
'And finally, release.' He squeezed the ball of electricity in his palms tightly, sending the electric currents coursing through his whole body. His hair immediately spiked up as an electric burden was now placed on his body.
As the light died down, all eyes were fixated on Rentaro, everywhere was silent as they gazed upon the static flow of electricity that coursed throughout his body.
"Limit Break: Electric Burst Evolved." He said softly as he raised his right hand to the side of his face.
[You have created a new ability!]
[You have earned 500 Soul-Essence!]
[You have levelled up!]
[level 10>13]
[Electric Burst evolved(level 1)]
"Rentaro..." Mizuko could only whisper his name softly as he gazed upon the dazzling technique he had been working on since the start of the exams.
