Chapter 558 - Decimator Rounds
They used their raw strength without utilizing a martial art technique, let alone taking a soulbond into their mana core to strengthen themselves further.
Despite using no affinity or mana their punch still met the required strength, and the first of the decimator rounds ended without an issue for them.
As such, everything went according to plan, and the spectators, who had observed the God\'s Children performance with keen eyes clearly understood that the strength they had displayed was nothing but brute force.
Thus everyone began to slowly understand why the human race was seemingly more interesting than previously expected.
Their real strength had yet to be explored but it was obvious that their soul world was profound!
Not long after the God\'s Children had advanced to the second round, the others in the same batch had finished their exam too.
.
As such, it was finally Jason\'s turn. He was not worried at all and went towards the set of mana mastery orb and punching machine he had been assigned to.
Because there was someone he found interesting in his batch, Jason wanted to finish the round quickly. He wished to take a look at a young woman\'s mana mastery talent and strength.
She belonged to a sub-race of those that were called Demi-humans, named Tigron. She was half human and half tiger which was interesting to look at because Jason had heard many stories about Demi-humans.
He had wanted to meet one of them before as they were said to be able to morph between their human and animal appearance.
This gave them many advantages, but at the same time, they were frowned upon because of this.
The female Tigron, Jason found so interesting was at the 9th Lique stage and had a Light affinity.
As such, the moment his exam started, Jason utilized the information he had received from his Emperor Eyes to quickly unknot the intertwined and tangled mana threads inside mana mastery orb.
His mana fluctuations pierced into the orb, finishing everything in a matter of half a minute, as a droplet of sweat trickled down his forehead before he approached the punching machine.
Without holding back, he used his brute strength to cross the required threshold easily before turning towards the woman.
Jason knew that he had wasted too much time with the mana mastery orb, but he couldn\'t help himself because he had almost completely untangled the mana threads in the orb before.
Unfortunately, this was the reason he couldn\'t see the light affinity awakened Tigron anymore.
He could only see her punching bag with the number 11,500 written on it, meaning that her punch had the force of someone at the peak of the 10th Lique stage with some extra strength.
Even though Jason didn\'t know whether the Tigron had used her whole strength, he couldn\'t help but smile.
\'She will be interesting to fight against!!\' He thought before walking out of the arena towards his friends, unbothered by the result of his exam.
Jason was confident enough to pass the first round despite not having refined his body for a long time, thus he simply returned to the God\'s Children, who gave him a cheeky smile.
"Executing the strength of an average being at the mid of the 7th Lique stage while being at the Low 2nd Lique stage is not holding back, you know?" Betty commented, teasing Jason.
Ignoring her remark, he just turned around to see the number of liquefied mana drops his quick punch was worth.
"6,451 drops? I guess that\'s not so bad." He muttered with a faint smile, knowing that this was not the only trick up his sleeve.
He had yet to use an affinity, martial art technique, let alone his fortified soul conjunctions, or the newfound fusion to increase his strength.
Other than that, Jason had many more ways to increase his strength, or even to distract and decrease his opponent\'s strength!
The God\'s Children knew this, and couldn\'t help but involuntarily rub their arms and abdomen while trying to cover up their painful memories that had resurfaced with a forced smile.
Even though they were confident in their own strength, Jason was on a completely different level.
He might be from a different race, but that didn\'t matter to them as they wanted to be as strong as other races, which included Jason\'s mysterious Celestia bloodline!
In comparison to everyone else, Jason was the most talented and powerful because despite just being 18, he was already stronger than the majority of the population on Argos.
Nevertheless, he helped them to improve and remained humble, if one were to leave out how nonchalantly he did certain things that others required double or more time to do.
This was frowned upon by the God\'s Children, and they had to let go of their jealousy to prevent themselves from turning too greedy or petty.
The spectators looked at Jason\'s score with astonishment, finding it hard to believe that he was only at the low 2nd Lique stage.
"Maybe he is using an extremely strong body refinement manual? According to the stigma he has and everything else, his origin shouldn\'t be the human race, but his mana fluctuations are partially the same as that of the human race…"
It was the voice of the manager of the colosseum who was speaking with a few higher authorities who were seated next to him, looking towards the colosseum with a glint of interest in their eyes.
"I guess that he is the halfling the Shadow walkers had been talking about two years ago...That being said, he is a human to some extent…But even if he has a soul world, his physical strength is extremely high, so his body should be refined to a high degree, that\'s certain!"
There were many rumors about the human race, and one of them had been the existence of a halfling.
The Olympus federation had ignored this rumor because it was deemed as impossible.
It had mainly originated from the Shadow walkers that had swept through the federation without showing a tinge of respect towards the federation.
However, from the looks of it, the rumors might as well be true.
"What kind of race could this young man belong to? His aura seems familiar and is profound, but I just can\'t think of the race it belongs to!"
Unbeknownst to Jason, his Celestia aura had already been altered several times.
The first time it had been because he had accepted both his human and Celestia race\'s heritage, while the second time had been when he had almost turned into an Infernal Celestia.
Fortunately, the anger, wrath, and agony had been cleansed from his mind at that time, altering his aura for the third time.
Meanwhile, the fourth time had been after he\'d annexed his father\'s divine aura, bringing it closer to the Celestia aura once again.
It was only because of his altered aura that nobody was able to figure out which race he hailed from, but that was exactly his great advantage.
At the same time, the higher-ups\' assumption about his strength was only partially true as only the physical strength equal to 31 mana drops hailed from his body refinement!
In comparison to the strength his punch had exerted, this was nothing, and Jason knew that his current body refinement manual was unable to cope with the efficiency his cultivation speed had. This meant that he could increase his strength faster by absorbing mana instead of refining his physique.
This rendered the Netherworld\'s fort technique useless for Jason!
