Chapter 321 - 086 – Attack In House Kurt 2

Lirian felt genuinely concerned for his future and stopped holding back to properly vent out his anger, if the world had no one that could surpass the fourth rank then this world was going to be useless for his growth.

With a thought, a layer of energy started to pour out from every inch of his body to form a thin cloak of energy that held a metallic purple colour.

Lirian activated his [Aura] ability, it might have been a first accord technique for warriors, but with his esper breath it held a level of power that no first accord cultivator could match, and in general, most body cultivators would only be able to activate [Aura] in the later stages of the second-grade.

But to Lirian using these techniques was second nature to him, as he charged with power coursing through his body he threw out a powerful fist.

A massive burst of wind exploded outward with Lirian at the centre, the force was so powerful that some of the novices who survived were swept off their feet by the impact.

A cloud of dust hung in the air, and when the dust cleared up, they were surprised to see that no one had died.

But their expressions were filled with relief as they saw the figure that stood there, he was a tall man with an ugly face and long black hair that fell to his shoulders.

Everyone could see that he caught Lirian's fist squarely in his palm, and to their relief, he didn't appear to be pressured by the strike.

The entire floor however was filled with cracks that spread around Lirian and their Lord, the figure of their lord filled them with confidence especially when they looked at the stark contrast between Lirian and Lord Rupid Kurt.

Despite his recent growth, Lirian was still pretty short, and his size was tiny, in fact, the recent change that came to his body after he devoured the snake god's essence made Lirian's body even slimmer than it already was.

When compared to the 7 foot tall and muscular Lord, one wouldn't be able to help themselves from thinking that Lirian was on the losing end.

Lord Kurt looked at Lirian coldly, and without exchanging so much as a single word, a dense yellow aura extended from his body and wrapped around him tightly and he delivered a powerful kick at Lirian.

Lirian pulled his fist free from Rupid Kurt's palm, and used both his arms to block the blow, as the kick landed, Lirian felt waves of pressure run through his body as he was launched backwards with breakneck speed.

When Lirian finally crashed against a wall, he felt waves of pressure run through his bones, but his newly modified bones, that seemed to be more flexible, handled the pressure extremely well.

Lirian could feel his blood pumping as he jump back to his feet, a smirk spread across his face, "I was starting to think that your house was filled with weaklings," Lirian laughed happily, even as he spoke Rupid was already closing the distance to launch another strike.

This time Lirian stepped in with a quick step, and aim a punch at Rupid's gut, but like before his attack was easily blocked by Rupid's palm.

"You're gonna have to do better than that boy," Rupid grunted coldly at Lirian, the only thought on his mind was to crush Lirian, he didn't have the details but he could guess that Lirian was the cause of all his problems.

Rupid lifted his leg and prepared to deliver another kick to Lirian.

"Don't tell me that you're a one-trick pony," Lirian said in a ridiculing tone and twisted his arm free from Rupid's grasp.

Lirian twisted his entire body up into the air, and narrowly dodged the kick, "Let me tell you, if your attack worked against me once, it's never going to work against me again," Lirian laughed.

Rupid's eyes widened as he looked at Lirian, currently, Lirian was facing him while hanging upside down in the air, it was like gravity had lost all effect on him as he laughed, then Rupid noticed a strange diagram that appeared behind Lirian's foot.

But he didn't get to look at it for long because in the next moment it erupted in flames that exploded outwards.

Lirian's leg was already moving in a kicking motion, when the flames erupted like a thruster, his leg moved down with breakneck speed, and he landed a powerful kick on Rupid's shoulder.

Rupid felt like a mountain crashed onto his shoulder, the force knocked his massive figure down onto one knee, and the corridor floor experienced another massive impact, that sent new cracks running through the ground.

Rupid felt his world spin for a second, before he looked up and saw that Lirian went spinning backwards through the air.

Lirian felt the recoil in his leg after landing the strike, and since he was using levitate, he couldn't channel the excess energy into the ground, instead, it acted on his body and sent him hurtling in the opposite direction.

Lirian soon regain control of his body and landed a good distance away from Rupid, who was still on his knee, Lirian could imagine that he was currently seeing stars after taking such a solid hit.

"There is always a way to make up for strength if you use your imagination," Lirian said knowingly, "But if you want to have another go at it, I promise I won't use a trick to make up for the difference in power," Lirian laughed lightly.

As he spoke Lirian started to use his [Intrinsic Energy Mastery] skill, currently, he was using his normal energy that had an I.E.Q of 4, while Rupid who was a knight had an I.E.Q of 6.

Lirian activated his skill and changed his I.E.Q to 6, the change in energy simply increased the rate at which Lirian consumed energy the change from 4 to 6 increased his energy consumption by 50%.

[Intrinsic Energy Mastery] was a skill that very few people would ever be able to use, amongst cultivators in general, Lirian would estimate that not 1 in a 100 trillion genius cultivators would be able to increase their Intrinsic Energy Quality by a single level.

The reason why he could do it was mainly credited to his status as a reincarnator, it was almost impossible for someone to fathom the change that energy experienced, as the grade of the energy increased.

But Lirian already knew what it felt like because, of the levels, he reached as a cultivator during his past lives, which was what allowed him to easily imitate the energy of higher levels.

However there was one major change that he couldn't do, and that was to imitate immortal energy with mortal energy, due to his esper techniques, when he reaches the seventh grade it might be possible, but he wouldn't be able to make a large amount.

The same rule applied to any other being who reincarnated, Lirian knew for a fact that all the eternals were capable of using, [Intrinsic Energy Mastery], and so to were those damaged souls that kept their memories after reincarnation.

The final constraint, when it came to the skill was a person's body, if their body was unable to handle the higher concentration of energy they would kill themselves, Lirian could push his energy to around 670 fifth grade energy particles with his current reserves, but then that amount of energy would be required in its entirety to cast a single spell without it falling apart.

At those levels, it takes a great deal of focus to hold a spell together, without having a sufficiently powerful mind more energy would be used to hold the spell together instead of being used to make the spell more powerful.

At his current level, Lirian wouldn't push his energy quality over 40 or it would have a bad effect on his body.

As he increased his I.E.Q.. Lirian noticed that Rupid Kurt was already charging directly at him.
