Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

“Hey, did you hear the news? Someone is recommended for a core disciple member of Mortal Chaos peak. Apparently, it’s someone who came here with Senior Rong this morning.”

“Yeah, I actually saw him roughly two hours when he and Lady Rong landed at the central mountain. He is a human, and I didn’t sense any powerful bloodline from him.”

“Haha, let’s see if that guy can pass the test. It’s going to start in the White Stadium.”

“Yeah, people are gathering there. Let’s hurry. The test will start in five minutes.”

White Stadium was in the middle section of the central mountain. That part of the mountain was wide, with a round stadium of three floors built there at the center.

The stadium was constructed using pure white crystal stones, thus called White Stadium.

Arkhen was already at the base of the White Stadium with Meya, Gereld, and Lady Rong.

“Since this is a stadium, I guess he’ll have to fight someone, right?” Gereld curiously asked.

“Not someone, but a dire beast,” Lady Rong said with a smile.

“Oh? What grade?”

“7th-grade.”

Hearing that, Meya and Gereld were dumbfounded.

“Master! Why Arkhen has to fight a 7th-grade dire beast?! Many core disciples are not even in 5th class!” Meya asked in disbelief.

“T-This…” Gereld was stunned and didn’t know if he heard wrong or if Master Rong misspoke.

“Relax, hahaha. I agreed with that because I am going to enter the sect with a bang,” Arkhen said with a domineering grin.

“But 7th-grade… How?” Meya asked nervously. “You are still 2nd-class, right? You can jump a couple of classes gap, but 7th-grade…”

“He can,” Lady Rong said with a smile. The Nexus Holder tree monster of that corrupted dungeon was powerful enough to be considered the equivalent of a peak 7th-grade or early 8th-grade dire beast.

“Just watch,” Arkhen said with a smile as he squeezed Meya’s cheeks with his hands before walking towards the entry path into the stadium.

‘Velshi. I already told you my new idea regarding how to use my physique passives. If things go awry, use reality motes to quickly stabilize me.’

[Leave it to me, my lord. I wish you success].

Meya and Gereld watched Arkhen’s back as he entered the stadium.

“Master…” Meya turned to Lady Rong with a worried expression.

“Don’t worry, lass. Come on, let’s take our seats in the stadium.”

…

Arkhen arrived in a vast open ground with solid white crystal stone ground. The moment he entered the battleground, commotion around the stadium increased since everyone started whispering more after seeing him.

Arkhen also looked around and saw fifteen big seats at the very top of the stadium.

The first five seats at the very top looked like thrones. They belonged to Peak masters. Below each throne-like seats were two additional seats belonging to vice-peak masters. They were less majestic.

Each Peak Master seat had a flag behind them with different symbols indicating the respective peaks.

Illusion Flower Mountain Peak-> West Peak.

Mortal Chaos Mountain Peak-> Northwest Peak.

Shadow Star Mountain Peak-> East Peak.

Frozen Light Mountain Peak-> Southeast Peak.

Spirit Blossom Mountain Peak-> Central Peak.

These five mountains along with several small mountains made up the complete Cherry Blossom Mountain sect.

In the battleground…

A gorgeous woman wearing a red dress appeared. She looked elegant wearing her modest dress covering most of her body. She had long light red hair with a wavy hairstyle.

“First of all, welcome to the sect, Arkhen. Even if you fail this test, you will at least be an inner disciple of the Mortal Chaos peak. But I do wish for the best result,” the woman said with a charming smile and waved her hand. “All the best.”

An energy gate appeared twenty meters away from Arkhen, from which a terrible shriek boomed out.

*Khreeeeeeeeeee!*

The air trembled because of the terrifying shriek before a powerful barrier soon separated the audience from the stadium to prevent the attacks of the battleground from hurting the audience.

And Arkhen had already started preparing.

He executed the <Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen> and stationed it behind him. As the tree formed behind Arkhen, the beast from the gate came out completely.

It was truly a dangerous-looking beast, giving out an extremely bloodthirsty vibe. It looked like a worm, but with legs! It was standing on its eight-thick hairy legs with dark green patterns.

Its worm-like body also had a coating of metallic structure, indicating its tough exterior, and its worm-like mouth had sharp circular rows of teeth and two antennas on top of its head.

As the peak 7th-grade beast saw Arkhen, its dark red bloodthirsty eyes gleamed terrifyingly.

‘So this is my target, eh? Similar vibes as that tree monster,’ Arkhen thought. Since he had consumed 25% soul energy to execute the shrine tree skill, he also produced Order Force.

‘Order of Extreme Shrinking. Target: my body.’ Arkhen created the order and willed it to affect his physical body.

“Why is he not attacking?”

The people started whispering after seeing that Arkhen didn’t attack even though the beast came out completely. It was his chance to get an upper hand after all.

A couple of peak masters and vice-peak masters also frowned, while the rest remained indifferent.

Well, Arkhen’s plan was not to attack head-on but to do a counterattack.

“Come on, little worm,” Arken said with a dominating grin after stretching his hand towards the beast and taunting it with a ‘come at me’ hand gesture.

*Shrieeeek!!*

The worm opened its mouth wide as palpitating energy readings exuded from it.

‘A projectile energy attack? Perfect,’ Arkhen thought as his grin widened and the excitement in his eyes increased. He couldn’t wait to execute his idea.

Many people also noticed Arkhen’s expression and became speechless.

“Is he mad? Why is he not even executing a defensive skill to defend?”

“Who knows? But I doubt that vice-peak master Rong would recommend an idiot. Let’s see what he has up his sleeve.”

The worm was also intelligent in a way. Seeing that Arkhen didn’t attack, it decided to release a charge-type attack possessing pure offensive might.

Arkhen also knew that wouldn’t be able to take on such an attack completely. However, he needed to get hit by an attack to get chaos force.

Seeing the worm charing its attack, Arkhen also executed the <Aegis of Life Conversion> skill.

Many peak masters and vice-peak masters raised their eyebrows as they saw the four orbs floating around Arkhen.

‘Oh my… So, this skill was this much powerful,’ Lady Rong also wryly smiled as she sensed the true energy readings of Arkhen’s skill. ‘Hmmm, it’s either an EX+ rank skill or a Supreme rank skill. I wonder if he got it from his inheritance or legacy?’

On the other hand, the worm finished preparing its full-powered attack in three seconds as an orb of dark green energy conjured in front of its mouth.

*Khreeeeeeeeeee…*

After releasing a strange shriek, the orb glowed intensely before shooting a laser-type attack.

‘Shit, a laser cannon?!’ Arkhen was startled and quickly improvised his strategy. ‘Two for block, one for prep. Alright.’

As the laser neared Arkhen, one of the four orbs glowed and dispersed before turning into a shield to block the laser. An orb of healing waves also formed beside Arkhen, which would store the healing force.
