The Immortal God Cultivator
Preparation to become a candidate for the tournament

The wind blew and split, the air moving swiftly exposed to the slash of the sword being swung to and fro. The air blows stronger, but more uncertain and changing the direction of blowing.

The chaotic wind was the result of the demonstration of the Heavenly Sword Dance technique that Adrine practiced after reading through some of the sheets in his technique book. The wind gusts were also getting sharper and the blow was getting chaotic the air temperature.

"No need to overdo it, it's good enough for the demonstration, now you have to train the change in the manifestation of his sword energy. Go to the engineering warehouse, you'll find thousands of different techniques, you can choose."

Adrine immediately headed to the engineering warehouse that was behind the Ascended Sword training ground. Although it is called a warehouse, but the books there are neatly arranged. There was a differentiating order between each sword technique, from sword dancing, sword energy manipulation, and sword energy enhancement.

The manifestation of sword energy was a higher level of sword energy manipulation, his training was also quite complicated, only when he had mastered it would feel easier than the manipulation of sword energy. This is because the manipulation of sword energy must maintain the form of manipulation, while the manifestation will not need to maintain its form and can undo the change in the form of Ascending energy at will. Moreover, the manifestation of sword energy was much more accurate in its form of change than manipulation.

There was also a higher one from the manifestation of sword energy, this type of technique was the transformation of the physical manifestation of the sword.

"The bottom, second, and third line is manipulation, the fourth and fifth are manifestations, while the sixth line is transformation, I am only allowed to take that manifestation."

'It is only fitting that I was viewed cynically by the other disciples, it turns out that the manifestation of sword energy has a higher level of sword energy manipulation.' Thought Adrine.

Previously many were surprised by the licensing given to Adrine by the Viko master, but the other masters did not care which signified that Adrine was indeed allowed to pick up a sword energy manifestation type technique.

"Devil Taring Manifestation, Bone Sword Manifestation, Chaos Manifestation, Crooked Sword Manifestation..."

Adrine continued to read every technique name.

"Hey son, who are you? Are you the new kid?Why do you want to take the manifestation type technique?"

Someone suddenly came and warned Adrine. That person was still quite young and he seemed to have rights and authority over the engineering warehouse.

"Sorry, I've been allowed by master Viko to take the sword energy manifestation type technique, please for the master not to get in the way."

The master stared intently at Adrine's eyes, the glare of his eyes was really very sharp and intimidating.

"On what basis did he give permission?"

"It's on the basis that I gave him that order."

Heyto's master suddenly stood behind the master in front of Adrine.

"Since when has Master Heyto had authority here?"

The young master looked like he disliked the master Heyto and Adrine as well.

"I'll use my position for this, my position is higher than yours in this Zeronian city, you're just a technical warehouse guard, I'm one of the chief leaders in this downtown laboratory. The power I have is higher than you have."

Master Heyto made the young master hate him even more.

"You're just one of the heads of the central lab, but you're not a developer."

Master Heyto smiled cynically in front of the young master.

"You don't know if you're one of those leaders, either... Having the privilege of being part of the developer, keep it in mind, master Kora!"

The young master looked surprised by the enlargement of his eyeballs. It was heard from the name mentioned by master Heyto, the young master who guarded the engineering warehouse was named master Kora.

"Who is this boy? How could you give him permission to take the manifestation-type technique?"

"What if I call him a candidate for the tournament? Does he have no rights?"

Once again master Kora was surprised by the words of master Heyto.

'I was given a message if the candidate was allowed to pick up one transformation type technique, this brat turned out to be lucky. But he looked ordinary, unlike Loid, still Loid was stronger than this brat.' Thought master Kora.

"Alright, I was given a message to give 1 transformation type technique, 2 chaos type technique, and 1 sharpening type technique."

Master Heyto was surprised and delighted to hear it, he immediately turned to Adrine.

"What are you waiting for? Take the techniques that are already allowed."

Then Adrine immediately returned to the bookshelf beside him, he now began to look at the books arranged in the sixth row, the shelves containing books of transformation type techniques.

Master Heyto just turned around without asking anything.

'As for him being the head of the laboratory, he could arbitrarily here arrange all things with the post of a developer. Damn you, Heyto.' Bait master Kora in heart to master Heyto.

A little while later, Adrine discovered a transformation technique that she thought was appropriate, but rather difficult in its control. The technique was named the Dual Layer Lightning Sword Transformation.

Already for hours Adrine was inside the engineering warehouse, master Viko who was outside became a little annoyed at waiting for the 1 student.

'Where is Adrine? Why is that boy so long? Is there a problem?' Thought master Viko.

Shortly after, Adrine had returned from the engineering warehouse and took out 4 engineering books.

"Are you robbing earlier? How can you take out multiple books at once? And these... Transformation type technique?"

The other disciples immediately turned their heads towards Adrine quickly.

"What's? Transformation type? Why is he allowed?"

"Can we? We are only forbidden to take the manifestation type technique, he immediately took the transformation type technique, there are 3 other books as well?"

"Did he bribe the master who was guarding there?"

Many wondered about it, yet there was a master who opened his mouth to mediate so many questions.

"He's a candidate, he's allowed to take on transformation-type techniques and some other techniques, these are indeed common things you don't know."

The master who had just spoken out was the Cherry master, he knew quite well about what Adrine was doing.

They all immediately said a long and large "o" immediately hearing the explanation from the Cherry master.

Not many people turn to Adrine because they are used to the shock given by a thousand languages from Adrine.

"What do you want to train first?"

"Technique the kind of chaos, the Chaos of Lightning Movement."

A technique with a higher tier type than the usual sword dance type, Adrine also picked up the Chaos Lightning Sword and Four-Point Ascending Sharpening technique.

"Are you sure you don't want to practice transformation-type techniques? Besides, you have also mastered the technique of the type of dance, why do you want to master it again the others?"

Adrine was silent for a moment.

Master Viko is a little confused by Adrine who is not so easy to guess.

"The chaos contained within the Heavenly Sword Dance technique was a little easier to guess, besides the Chaos of Lightning Movement also increased the sword's strength when it reached a certain point of movement."

Now the master Viko smiled.

"So you've read it before you come here and you've considered which one you're going to train as an opener, you're smart as well."

"Thank you, master."

After that, Adrine went back to reading and activated her soul eye. Master Viko really liked Adrine for being so confident with her.

A few hours had passed and Adrine had also obtained a new feat that left others dumbfounded. Adrine showed how she presented the Chaos Lightning Movement technique that almost touched perfection. The masters were also surprised and became interested in the abilities shown by Adrine.

Since the morning had changed into twilight, Adrine was allowed to go home and conduct individual training at her residence.

"Next week you have a mission, don't you?"

Adrine nodded.

"Truly master."

"What mission is that?"

"Entered Portal, enter into the Portal Distortion of D-grade Broad level."

Adrine slightly recalled when he was dealing with the Blood Demon inside the Portal Distortion of the same level, which was the D-class Beast level.

"I heard about this mission, won't it involve 10 students including you?"

Adrine nodded again.

"Truly master."

"Be careful in there, not just any place you will enter later. You will also be together with a senior at the level of Perfection just in case there is something strange in there."

"Alright master, I'll be careful later."

Then Adrine turned around and immediately went to some stores to buy some materials that little Shin had requested and would soon return to his residence. He was preparing to enter the Portal Distortion the coming week.

When Adrine reached home, she found a very pungent smell. The aroma of herbal medicines is yet very pungent inside the nose.

Adrine directly covered her nose with her left hand.

'What is this?' Thought Adrine.

Not only that, there was also a lot of smoke flying in his house that made his eyesight become disturbed.

"What are you doing, little Shin? Where are you?"

Adrine immediately looked for little Shin on each side of her house and found little Shin distilling pills in her room.

"What are you doing?"

"Are your eyes no longer useful? I'm refining pills, these pills I've made for you specifically to increase your potential."

Adrine did not listen too much to little Shin's words and he immediately barged into his room and activated his armor and made his face covered by a mask of armor.

Then little Shin gave a pill to Adrine.

"Take this, swallow it right now!"

Adrine was a little suspicious of the pill that little Shin had just given her.

"Is this pill poisonous?"

THE PLAQUE!!

A direct slap landed hard on Adrine's face.

"You think I want to poison you? I told you, this pill can increase your potential, the side effects will only be felt at the beginning and not much, just swallow."

Adrine stared at the strange pill that was in her hand.

'Potential or whatever, I don't understand. Never mind, there is no way little Shin will poison me.' Thought Adrine.

By force, Adrine swallowed the pill.

GLACK!!

"Eh?"

Connect!!
