Chapter 216 Hidden Dragon Den

It's been three days since Arkhen and Jeizy were daily going to the Hidden Dragon Den club for mock battles.

Arkhen was also having fun because he was indeed learning through the sparrings.

In three days, he broke the suppression seal in every single fight. So well, he was still far from gaining absolute mastery over his bodily prowess.

At the moment, Arkhen was sparring against a beastkfolk like Jeizy. This beastfolk was a male and had an elephant head with an elephant trunk.

That trunk was actually the most powerful organ of his body, and he could enhance it with his skill and make it more powerful.

...

"Hehe, let's see how you fare against this today," Darg said with a sneaky laugh as the potent energy gathered inside his trunk, and boom!

*Shtokk!*

*Boom!*

A dark yellow swirling orb shot from Darg's trunk at such a speed that it broke the sound barrier with a bang!

Arkhen didn't avoid it because he planned to use his Physique's passive ability today, the Chaotic Empowerment.

—> Chaotic Empowerment (level 1): You can absorb any kind of energy into your body, including incoming attacks, and covert them into chaos force. It can be stored up to a certain limit, and you can use this chaos force to increase your body size and overall physical prowess. If you go past the limit of converting chaos force from absorbing incoming attacks, the chaotic empowerment will have an adverse effect and injure you heavily.

The incoming attack hit Arkhen's chest, but right upon the impact, a very faint black hue appeared on Arkhen's body skin and absorbed the entire attack, making everyone watching dumbfounded.

"Wait, wait, wait… What happened? Did you learn a new skill or what?" Darg asked with an incomprehensible expression. "You absorbed my entire attack... How?"

Arkhen and Gard were fighting on a one thousand square meters big floating platform, and there were twenty such platforms in the whole area.

On four sides of each platform were big wooden open box sections with chairs and couches.

Around the platform where Arkhen and Gard were fighting, there were twelve people, including Jeizy, and none of them could see the faint glow on Arkhen's body since Gard's attack was shining more and also blocked the view.

On the other hand, Arkhen was feeling the presence of chaos force that was produced inside him after his Physique's passive converted that attack into chaos force. It was up to him if he wanted to use this chaos force to boost himself or not.

"That's a secret," Arkhen said with a grin in response to Gard's question on how he absorbed his attack. He didn't use the chaos force to boost himself because it would increase his stats and break the suppression seal.

"Fine. But now your turn. Attack me with your best shot," Gard said with a grin. "Today, I will definitely block your attack."

Hearing his declaration, everyone watching shook their heads.

"Haha, stop dreaming, fatty. Unless you got a new powerful defensive skill or you drastically improved your main defense skill, you won't be able to block Arkhen's combo boost attack," said Taliya, a woman with a light brown skin tone and slim figure.

Everyone also nodded in agreement after hearing her. In their group of 2nd class powerhouses, Arkhen's attacks were the most potent, and nobody had yet to successfully defend his most powerful attacks. Meanwhile, Arkhen had managed to block all of their most powerful attacks.

"It's really envious. That EX rank skill is truly good," said a 3rd class powerhouse. "It is almost reaching my most powerful attack. Sigh... A 2nd-class reaching an attack power similar to mine. Sad."

"Heh, who told you to create an SSS rank skill in your enlightenment chance?"

"Humph, I tried my best at that time. We all don't remember much of that state, so even I don't know how I created my SSS rank skill."

p "Haha, no need to become upset. The skills we created in our enlightenment state are always upgradeable."

"Yep. Try your best to find some breakthrough to improve that skill to EX rank."

While other 2nd class powerhouses were talking, Arkhen and Gard started fighting again after Arkhen released his combo attack of <Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen> for a boost to increase the power of his most powerful form of slaughter blade, which was a single slaughter blade condensed with the power of 1000 slaughter blades.

As expected by others, Gard failed to successfully defend as his defense-type SSS rank skill <Geo Tetra Shield> was broken by the five meters long and five centimeters thick black slaughter blade with a dark red aura around it.

Afterward, both of them started intense close combat as they activated their Combat Arts!

*Smack!*

Gard's trunk hit Arkhen's chest after he predicted where Arkhen would appear after Arkhen punched him a second ago.

Seeing Arkhen shooting on the ground with a bang, Gard laughed and said, "I still have the upper hand in close combat!"

Gard's Combat Art provided him with broken and slim golden platings on his body. They looked out of order and without any patterns, but his combat art improved his overall prowess drastically.

Arkhen got up and dusted himself as he switched to the Drifter Form of his combat art!

Drifter Form: Increases your Agility and EP by an additional 5%. Your arms and legs gain a unique pumping mechanism through the exoskeleton connected to your internals which can increase your physical attack speed and movement speed drastically.

Although the seal also suppressed his EP, he could increase it up to 299,999 if he could.

Naturally, he could not increase his EP that much, but that 5% of EP increase was possible as it wouldn't break the seal since the seal's limit on his EP was 299,999.

Of course, Arkhen also didn't let his Agility pass the 201 mark and kept it suppressed and in control by controlling his Combat Art's power flow.

"Arghh, that annoying form again," Gard said annoyingly because Arkhen's speed and maneuverability become very high in the Drifter Form, making it hard to attack him.
