last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Back in the Pugilist dojo, the spectators cheered excitedly when team B on yellow and team D on red clashed.

Through the drones, they had a bird’s eye view of the battlefield, so they knew when team B saw their opponents and started preparing for the ambush.

Their hearts were on their throat at that moment, already expecting bloodshed but the reality was far from what they imagined. Team red reacted to the ambush remarkably well that the threat was completely nullified.

They were dumbfounded.

“The dark-haired boy and girl on the red team saved their teammates, they are so strong”. One of the spectators said dreamily. “Are they couples? They look like one”.

“Nah, the boy did everything. He noticed the ambush first; he was the one that saved the whole team singlehandedly”. Another spectator countered.

“The battle already started here, why are the other 2 teams so boring?” A spectator said, already annoyed.

Among the 4 teams, only Morales’s team, team D, and team B were fighting already. Team C was still cautiously poking around, acting cowardly which was an attitude that completely repulsed the spectators.

Though team A was not battling yet, what they were doing was even more boring. They seemed to be…, well, the spectators did not understand so they let them be and switched their view back to the exciting battle.

Unlike what Morales thought, the district was not too big. It was in a rectangle shape, and they were currently moving along the longer side, which brought that illusion of it being big.

Back in the district, the battle ended as swiftly as it started as the team B Pugilists retreated rapidly. Morales didn’t mind them though, he just smiled mysteriously.

“Leave them and focus on the fence”. He muttered smilingly.

His teammates were startled but they obeyed him, the power he showed a moment ago already earned their respect.

Inclining their heads, they were shocked. “So this was the bastard who discovered us. No wonder 4 came out to battle us”.

The enemy Pugilist still clung tightly to the fence, trying to hide his presence as much as possible. When he noticed the collective glares at him, his heart sank but he did not hesitate.

“Help!!” He jumped over the fence to the other side immediately while yelling.

Morales rushed at him with his teammates.

When their opponents heard the cry for help and turned, their hearts also sank. They gritted their teeth, weighed the pros and cons before decisively rushing back.

They could not afford to lose a teammate so early in the tournament.

Both sides finally clashed properly as they rained fists and kicks at each other. The black-haired girl finally showed her prowess in this setting, the only other male in the team also showed how incompetent he was.

Shockwaves billowed from the position of their battle as the sound traveled far and wide, showing how fierce the battle was.

The dojo Pugilist who briefed them previously was correct. After the first clash, his teammates relented to him being the leader without anyone voicing it out, this was the legendary silent agreement.

Though Morales had a complete advantage over his opponent, the same could not be said about his teammates.

He felt worried as the other male in his team was basically being toyed with. He kept coughing out blood as the Pugilist in yellow punched the hell out of him, the sight was pathetic.

Despite this, Morales refused to use any of his active skills for now. He did not know what the other 2 teams were planning, he had to be prudent.

The fight dragged on like this for 2 minutes with no clear winner in sight, both sides were still holding back. What happened next disrupted this status quo.

Team C finally arrived as the 5 Pugilists jumped down from above into the raging battle. They were attracted to the battle from the loud noise, so they decided to hide in the nearby roof of a damaged building.

As soon as they landed, all 5 energetic Pugilists erupted like berserk apes as they threw punches and kicks at the chaotic group of 10 surrounding them.

2 of them isolated the brown-haired girl in Morales’s team and started bombarding her. The girl kept staggering backward as continuous blows quickly left her face swollen.

Her teammates were isolated from her, so she was not getting help anytime soon.

She tried to persevere but she was completely in their grip. Morales wanted to help but the Pugilists of both teams C and B worked together to hold him back.

One of the Pugilists attacking her sent a punch at her chest, pushing her back. She gritted her teeth in pain, trying to retaliate but before she could even fall down, she felt something hard hit her head from behind.

Blood blossomed from her head as the other Pugilist smashed a brick on her head from behind.

She felt like the world suddenly turned upside down, her view, her perception, everything suddenly became inverted to her. She stretched her hand to parry a punch but her hand only brushed the air.

Bam!!

Another punch landed on her abdomen before quickly being followed by a series of other ones. The first casualty appeared in the battle; she was punched to death in seconds as she could hardly resist.

Her figure was a bloody mess.

Both team C Pugilists quickly went after their next target, a close-by team B opponent. This was how the tournament was, no ally was permanent, no enemy was permanent.

The black-haired girl in Morales’s team gladly helped as it became a 3 vs 1 scenario. She hardly cared about her dead teammate; they all came here to get admitted knowing the risks involved.

Combining her deadly attack combos with the 2 Pugilists, the unlucky opponent became the second casualty. The battle was now extremely fast-paced.

Morales fought at his normal pace while carefully observing the battlefield. He was content with the trajectory of the battlefield. So far as people get getting killed, the survival quota would soon be gotten.

He just had to keep himself alive till then.

At this moment, his danger senses suddenly pricked him, prompting him to duck immediately.

Boom!!

A sharp object firmly-hit him hard on his chest as the momentum that it carried flung him roughly at the fence wall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Critical hit -102

-23

You have been hit on the chest by a sharp iron rod. You have been inflicted with the mildly dizzy state.

You have been inflicted with the bleeding status: -2 HP for 10 seconds.

Quickly bandage your injury to curb this effect.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Morales coughed blood as enormous pain bit at him from the right side of his chest. He felt dizzy from the impact, only his timely duck prevented his heart from being directly impaled.

His back felt heavy as pain also struck him from the impact of his back hitting the fence wall.

Forcing his eyes open, he saw his teammates and some of the Pugilists of the other 2 teams impaled with the same iron rod. Blood already littered everywhere as they all moaned in pain.

Feeling something, he set his sight afar where he saw the last team A Pugilists preparing to throw their weapons for a second time.

Throwing the many questions that he had to the back of his mind, he gritted his teeth and pulled the iron rod out before rolling to the side to dodge the second-round attack.

Boom!!

He barely even moved before they arrived again, but he luckily wasn’t impaled this time.

From this fierce attack of the Pugilists of group A, 4 opponents died immediately to the iron rods and 2 were critically injured and bleeding fiercely.

The blonde-haired girl in Morales’s team was among the dead, leaving him with the black-haired girl and the good for nothing boy. What a combination!

After those 2 consecutive attacks, the 5 Pugilists of team A finally started rushing forward to meet their opponents. In their hands was the same sharp pointed end iron rod.

“I thought no weapons are allowed”. The black-haired girl bellowed angrily as she covered her bleeding leg with her hand. She was grazed by one of the iron rods.

As soon as this question was asked, something clicked in Morales’s head.

“Yes, who said that we can’t use weapons? We were not allowed to carry weapons inside, but who said that we couldn’t produce weapons from the surrounding on entering?”

“So this is what the instructor meant by Pugilists should learn to improvise and fight with their environment”. He finally came to the understanding.

His gaze hardened after this. He stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth before picking the same iron rod that just stabbed at his chest. The other Pugilists looked at him weirdly.

“Pick one, let’s confront and teach these guys a lesson”. He growled at the black-haired girl.

The latter gritted her teeth and also picked up one of the iron rods. Though the other Pugilists did not understand, they also hastily picked one of the iron rods for their own use.

“You, you have no place in this battlefield. If you love your life, go and cross the black line now. You’ll at least keep your life then”. Morales was merciless.

The other boy in his team bit his lip on hearing this. Hesitation showed on his face but he shook his head in the end, dropped the iron rod, and ran for his dear life.

Seeing their actions, the Pugilists of team A did not slow down as they rushed at them momentously.

Morales set his eyes on the one who injured him, he knew that this guy was the strongest Pugilist alongside him from the damage that he took.

    Morales rushed out first as the others quickly followed behind him, fire blazed fiercely in his eyes. Even though his eyes were locked on the team A Pugilists, he was still keenly watching everywhere. He was right. As soon as they all started running, the 2 critically injured Pugilists among them turned tail immediately and started escaping. Swiftly turning back, he slightly threw the iron rod upwards before grabbing it back in a tight grip while forming a javelin throwing stance. His muscles contracted before he released the rod with all his might. Only a loud sound of impact was heard, quickly followed by blood blossoming like drizzling rain in early autumn. --------------------------------------------------------------- Critical hit -170 Your attack paired with an iron rod dealt crippling damage to your opponent. -20% overall health.

    After their various buses picked them up, Morales finally knew the exact people that survived. His assumption was correct, the 6 Pugilists that ganged up on him knew themselves before now. He learned the truth from the only team C Pugilist that survived. According to the Pugilist, the boy who led the others to gang up on him was called Ethan, and all 6 of them were childhood friends who lived and grew up in Border town. In the group tournament, only one Pugilist survived from team C, 4 Pugilists survived from team A, 3 Pugilists survived from team D, and the last survivor was from team B. Team C proved to be the most miserable team. All of them died except one, who was their leader and he was among the 6 childhood friends. Due to his strength, his teammates let him become their leader without knowing that it was a devil that was in their midst. Due to his cunning sabotage, they all became free targets to the other Pugilists. Team B als

    As soon as night struck, both Dave and Chloe went to the space at the corner of the room that was designated to them for practicing their techniques and skills. As Pugilists, almost all their training was associated with the control and use of the body. It seemed just like those weird cultivation depicted in novels to Morales but was much more systematic. Seeing them go to train, Morales also joined them to act the part. He already confirmed that he could level up through his system’s interface, so there was no need for training normally like others. Unlike them, the main reason why he went there was just to relax in a comfortable position and check his interface for his current attributes. He was so hyped up to gauge his current power base after awakening his bloodline. ---------------------------------------------------------- Name: Morales Clifford Race: Human/Spac

    “You…, you! I can’t believe it’s you!” Morales exclaimed exaggeratedly, losing his cool for a moment. “Wait! You’re here too?” The girl standing at the door asked in a surprised tone, she seemed even more shocked than Morales. Dave and Chloe were left gawking, speechlessly looking at the 2 people that stood before them. It took some time before they finally recovered as Chloe asked, her voice reverting to its normal cheerful tone. “You guys knew each other before?” She pumped her fists on the air excitedly. “That’s great, it would bring more cohesiveness among us”. “Do you know that there’s an award given yearly for the best roommates? I think we have a good chance of winning it this time…” As Chloe was about to continue blabbering on, Dave quickly covered her mouth with his hands while directing an embarrassed smile at their newest roommate. “Hi, I’m Dave”. He waved cheekily at her even though she just stood a few inches away from him

    2 days later, Morales woke up early in the morning again as he got set to go for his daily training. After these few days together, he already integrated completely with his other roommates. And they already grasped each other’s personalities completely. Fortunately, they were all compatible. With the cheerful Chloe around, they could not fall out with each other even if they wanted. Just the next day after their tour around the dojo, Chloe noticed that he and Rose were keeping a certain distance from each other. She was puzzled at first but she quickly deduced that it was probably an old grudge. When she probed and they didn’t react as she liked, she pestered them for the whole day till they revealed everything to her. Morales was like. “She bullies boys that are weaker than her only to cower before those stronger than her. I hate people with such personalities, they are evil seeds”. While Rose was like. “I’ve tried to make up to him but he k

    Morales’s final preparation was complete, so he had no need of staying in the simulated forest any longer. He gave a mental order which the hall’s A. I acknowledged as the world before him quickly disappeared. It took him a few seconds before his sight finally recovered completely but darkness was what stared back at him. He blinked a few times in the darkness before he understood. After removing the simulation helmet from his head, his sight finally returned before the familiar hall again. Despite the intense movements he performed just a moment ago, he didn’t feel anything, rather he felt light and relaxed as the special couch gently massaged his back. The only defect was that he felt mentally drained. He could only rest back on the couch and wait it out till his energy recovered. He slightly inclined his head to the side, where Chloe’s beautiful face presented itself before him. Her eyelids twitched a bit, indicating that she was do

    “He’s crossed into the 4th level already! Which monster exactly is scaling the dojo dungeon?” A student dressed in red tight-fitting combat clothes exclaimed exaggeratedly. “And I heard that he’s among the newbies that were admitted just a few days ago. What a monster!”. Another one quickly chimed in excitedly. When a student is scaling the dungeon levels, there is an indicator outside that shows the number of levels that he/she has crossed and the current level he/she was in. This was Morales’s 4th hour inside the dungeon, and he was now in the 4th level. He spent only about an hour for the first 2 levels, but he spent about 3 hours just to clear the 3rd level. Despite this, his speed was still record-breaking and already attracted the attention of the whole dojo. Hundreds of students stood outside the entrance of the dojo, attentively watching the orange light that represented the 4th level. This crowd started from a student that als

As one of the 3 Grade C- experts of this Suicide Squad, he had 1/3rd overall authority over any decision-making of the squad. As soon as they went deep inside the pyramid enough, and the number of zombies and other undead creatures swarming towards them started becoming too much, Morales gave a suggestion. “Let’s separate!” Morales could boast of being the warrior with the most knowledge about this Pyramid.

This was a sign of a good omen towards the overall mission. None of the warriors that were recruited into the vanguard team cheered though, this was because they knew that this was just the calm before the storm. This act that they just started was an act of war! Inside the necromancy domain was like a dark endless void filled with chaotic space that kept on ravaging through anything that they could devour. It was now night, but the effects of the night here were amplified several folds. The extreme darkness, gloominess, and absolute silence gave this region the spookiest attribute that it could afford. This strange vacant void seemed spooky, but not to the warriors that came for this mission who were all battle-hardened veterans. None of them were flustered, they kn

The hunting alliance already put everything in order before convening this gathering. From the most important warrior to the least important, even the mysterious Elder Lorrain of the Clifford family were all present. Like before, Pirate Admiral Frenzy was the one who stood up to speak. He was seated alongside his fellow counterparts at the very front of the hall. Morales eyed these seats. With his current status as a Grade C- expert, if he revealed his real strength, he could easily become one of the higher-ups of this alliance. Despite the fame and prestige that may follow, Morales was okay with being prudent. He already had his own plans in place for this mission. To others, it was just about killing the necromancers and getting rid of a disast

Since then, they went into work on gathering manpower and trying to infiltrate the Necromancer’s Den to gather information.When the gathering started, it comprised only Pirate Admiral Frenzy and Pirate Admiral Rage. These 2 were the progenitors of the gathering, and they were responsible for the rapid growth of the gathering in the past 2 years.Compared to when it started, the gathering was now countless times more powerful. They looked invisible, but not so invisible against the Necromancer’s Den.The Necromancer’s Den already changed a lot, Gorge Dame was no longer the sole leader.

    “Who is this?” Morales was confused at first on seeing his ringing communication device, but as soon as he picked up the call, his confusion cleared and was quickly replaced by surprise and speculations. “Morales, right?” On hearing the dignified voice that reverberated from the other side of the virtual projection screen, Morales snapped out of his daze. “Esteemed Pirate Admiral!” Morales quickly expressed his respect by standing up. Being contacted so suddenly by the well-known Frenzy Psychic, Morales experienced a rapid rush of emotions. It did not take him long before he connected this call to the achievements of his fleet in the just-concluded campaign. Though he really wanted to know the reason why this Pirate Admiral called, he did not dare keep him waiting. He put on the most polite smile that he could before asking the universal question. “To what honor am I receiving this unexpected call?” On hearing t
