Being the closest to Morales, the 4 beast leaders were also the first that felt the change in his aura. They immediately adopted wary attitudes, but this could not still suppress their bestial instincts.
The mutated Black panther, being the fastest rushed out in the front at Morales who gladly welcomed it with opened hands.
Ptui!!
Breeze swiftly blew past first, then the heavy sword cut down tyrannically the next moment.
An unpleasant glaring sound of metal cutting through flesh reverberated, followed by a painful whimper, which formed a stark contrast to the originally chaotic noise from the battle.
The Black panther dodged after detecting the danger, but Morales’s sword still cut a deep injury across its back. The flesh underneath that was exposed heaved up and down as the mutated beast cried out in pain.
It was bloody.
-------------------------------------------------
Critical hit -340
You have inflicted your opponent with the heavy bleeding status: -3 HP for 20 seconds.
---------------------------------------------
Despite the fierce innate damage resistances of the strong mutated Black panther, Morales still dealt his highest one-hit damage since he transmigrated into this world.
His hands shook in excitement.
He intended to finish the Black panther off, but the other beast leaders quickly rushed in at this moment to intervene.
He did not cower like before though, the heaviness attribute currently in his sword already evened the odds. He clashed directly without fear with the Draconic ape, cutting a deep injury across its arms.
The mutated Lion dived at him from the side with its wide maws opened but Morales easily formed a solidified air shield.
As soon as the Lion was repelled, he struck with his storm sword across, succeeding in removing one of its legs. The incapacitated lion roared in pain and retreated.
The mutated Black bear stopped in its tracks immediately, the example of its companions was enough to warn it against brainlessly rushing in.
All 4 beasts regrouped again. They no longer fought aggressively; they watched their opponent warily while slowly retreating.
Morales was not letting them be though, he had only less than 8 minutes before his time here elapsed so wasting time was not in his plans. He had to kill these beasts, and he had to do it now.
He suddenly leaped up as the surrounding air revolved and clung to his body, forming something like a space armor. He now seemed like the space emperor.
Boom!!
Falling back down, he directly cleaved the carefully arranged formation of the 4 beasts apart. Before real strength, every strategy must bow!
These intelligent beast leaders were now on the receiving end, suffering what Morales was suffering a minute ago.
Despite Morales’s focus on the 4 beast leaders, he still did not forget the cannon fodder beasts that were still brainlessly throwing themselves at him. For them, he had a special treat, bomb!
Some of the beasts suddenly exploded into a blood mist, their flesh rolled, squeezed, and were destroyed to pieces under the fierce crushing force of the Space bomb- contraction ability.
Other beasts shot backward with mind-blowing speed, hitting the hall’s walls and being turned into meat paste under the strong pressure force of the Space bomb- detonation ability.
The other ones that survived this, temporary cages that were created from the solidified air trapped and held them in place.
Through the impeccable air control granted to Morales by his Space manipulation race specialty, none of them could wriggle away and escape no matter how slippery they were.
They were trapped, keeping them perfectly intact for the next round of the Space bomb tearing.
In summary, the subordinates of the 4 beast leaders could only be said to be pathetic. They had no use in this battle other than to be trapped and bred, only to be crushed the next moment.
This way, it did not take long, in another 2 minutes Morales finally finished ending the lives of all the subordinates.
After using his race abilities for so long, it could be said that he was currently standing on needles as his energy reserves were almost depleted already. He felt weakness striking his fragile brain.
Despite this, he was confident as he already calculated that if he used his abilities smartly, he could win this battle without burning out.
Biting his teeth to stimulate his concentration, his eyes gleamed sharply at the 4 beast leaders. “Finally, I can now focus on you guys”.
He grabbed his storm sword tighter and threw himself at the beasts.
The air tore left and right, restraining and attacking the beasts at the same time, providing the perfect opportunity for Morales to wreak havoc with the advantage of his temporary heaviness attribute.
Bam!! Bam!!
The battle devolved into a situation of a tiny young boy pursuing 4 strong fierce-looking beasts, the visual effect was extremely impactful and exciting to look at.

----------------------------------------------------
After a minute of fast-paced battling, the first beast leader finally succumbed to the damage inflicted by Morales’s sword.
The others made various strange whimpering sounds, but Morales did not relent for a moment as his storm sword kept on striking at the most vulnerable places in their thick hides.
It did not take much longer before the mutated Lion lost another leg, then the 2 forelimbs followed shortly after.
Morales could not end its life immediately though, the Lion’s vitality proved fiercer than the Black panthers.
The bonus from Adrenaline rush already reset after 30 seconds were exceeded, but he still held the upper hand in the brawl between species. The hall was already dyed blood-red on every part.
With a well-timed move, he finally hit the Draconic ape down which has proven to be his most troublesome opponent since he entered the 5th level.
He did not let it rise again as his sword stabbed dozens of times at it to finish it off. The remaining mutated Lion and Black bear no longer posed much of a threat, he finished them off in another minute.
------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------
As soon as the last mutated beast fell down dead with an unwilling roar, Morales also collapsed. He was thoroughly sucked dry, he felt light-headed and dizzy, making his perception shaky.
Despite this, he inclined his head to look at the time flashing red on the top of the hall.
[00: 02: 47]
After confirming that he made it, he fell to his knees immediately in exhaustion. His face lit up into a fulfilled smile.
“I did it!”
Just as if it wanted to compliment him, as soon as he said- I did it, the A. I of the dojo dungeon finally reacted with the expected words.
[Congratulations! You have completed the 5th level, and you have also set a new newbie record milestone run for the Border town dojo.]
[Record time: 05: 13: 32]
[Base reward: +25 dojo points.]
[Bonus reward: +500 dojo points.]
[You have proven yourself to be a once in a millennium genius, the absolute top of the selection. Once again, congratulations for setting this unprecedented record in the history of this dojo.]
[Transporting participant to level 6…, transportation completed.]
Despite feeling like his bones were already turning to jelly, Morales still smiled like a madman.
Not only did this dungeon run grant him a lot of experience, the dojo points that he got alone already set him at the very top among the newbie first-year students. He felt giddy with joy.
As soon as he was transported to the next level, he did not take on an alert stance like he normally did.
He had no hopes of passing this level, so why waste his strength? He just wanted to see how it was, that’s why he did not directly forfeit.
In the 6th level, the setting was based in a hall that was significantly smaller than the one of the 5th level. The objective was that he should kill only one beast.
The beast of this level was surprisingly a Titan.
With just one blow from the massive beast, the dungeon’s protection ring activated and Morales was eliminated immediately from the dungeon run.
This left him thinking, how did the newbie Pugilist holding the all-time record set it? What type of monster would such a person be?
In the dungeon run, he used all his abilities except one, which was the Attribute regulator that he got from the system lottery draw.
He had no intentions of revealing it here though. The moment he broke the first record, he already knew that the higher-ups of the dojo would begin watching him.
He would not easily let others know that he had such a trump card.
Overall, all his plans for the dungeon run were fulfilled.
Thanks for reading.
Morales’s vision spun a bit, rendering his perception temporarily distorted and disoriented. When he finally opened his eyes, he was not outside the dojo dungeon’s entrance like he expected. He was surprisingly in a room. The room had a sci-fi look to it, its grey metallic walls that were gleaming under the light illumination stole his breath away. “Where is this? Why was I transported here?” He frowned. As he did a 360-degree turn to check out the room and to confirm that he was not in any danger, he saw something horrifying. A pair of eyeballs hovered at a corner of the room, focused and looking at him so intently like they wanted to peer through him. The sight was eerie-looking and could induce goosebumps in anyone. Seeing this, Morales shuddered immediately. “Oh, great eyeball, forgive my travesty for I have sinned. It was not my intention to barge into your humble abode”. He improvised on the spot, spilling a bunch of nonsense imm
“How did you do it?” Chloe asked curiously as soon as they got back to their room to meet their genius teammate. “Zero, you’re so awesome. I’m completely blown away, now I can brag of having a genius as my roommate”. Dave didn’t care about Chloe’s question; he expressed his excitement without restraints. “Congratulations”. Rose simply said. She hid her complicated emotions to herself and located her chair to sit down. “Zero, tell me, I’m really curious. How did you do it?” Chloe did not relent despite the interruption from her other roommates. Morales shrugged. “I did it the exact way that it’s done by others. I hacked left and right with my sword, that’s all. Oh…, and I also used my race abilities to kill most of them”. “Dammit, you didn’t use any special strateg
When the sun started peeping through the veil of the night, Morales finally stopped his cultivation. After a whole night of cultivation, he discovered a few more surprises. Though he did not level up, he detected a visible increase in proficiency of his main and sub-class skills like basic body control and basic energy control. As he slowly pulled himself out of the fuzzy feeling brought by cultivating, he heard a knock on the door. He didn’t even have to think, he knew that his wayward roommates were back. “You guys finally decided to come back”. He said flatly after opening the door. “Hey, how did it feel staying alone without us? Did you miss us? Oh, I almost forgot, thank you for the dojo points. The night was a blast, we really enjoyed ourselves”. Chloe quickly pushed Morales aside and entered after he opened the door, with her mouth already shooting off words at the pace of a machine gun. “Good morning”. Rose and Dave finally gre
“Hey, remember our duel tomorrow. I hope you don’t cower in fear when the time comes”. Chloe said with a yawn as she stretched, exposing her perky cleavages before climbing her bed to retire for the night. Morales was careful not to show any obvious reactions to the sight. “Don’t worry, I won’t forfeit the duel”. “When the time comes…, it’ll be hard to know who’ll decide to forfeit”. He grinned. “Goodnight”. Chloe waved at the others before closing her eyes to sleep. Dave and Rose practically spent the whole day couped inside the room. Due to the loose manner in which the
Morales felt a cool feeling sweep through his body, penetrate his skin, and invade his heart. Despite this rude intrusion, he did not resist it, he welcomed it with open hands. This is power! In just a single night, he already transformed from the cub that he was to a teenage dragon ready to soar through the skies. What better feeling was there than this? “Finally! After all my effort, they all finally paid off. I’m now a grade E superhuman; all hail the mighty earthlings!” Feeling excited was an understatement for his current feeling, he felt giddy with joy and over the moon satisfaction. After taking a few moments to revel in the joy brought by his successful breakthrough, he finally calmed himself down to analyze his situation properly. Despite staying dormant in one place, he could feel the power that was stationary in his body like a slumbering monster waiting to be summoned by its master. By this time, all the aftermath o
Morales laughed with his roommates as they walked across the already boisterous green field with a harmonious atmosphere among them.Of course, Chloe was the leader of the talks, striking silly jokes here and there that made the others laugh out loud. Overall, the atmosphere among them was cheerful.He was a little surprised that till now, none of them detected that he had a breakthrough.After thinking more about it, he reasoned that it was normal. If he didn’t reveal his strength openly to them, how would they know how strong he was? It was not like he was an advertisement board.Having their duel in the big dueling arena that was in front of the main dojo building would have been the best setting, but they didn’t want to make the duel a public spectacle.It was a roommates’ exclusive duel.The area around the dueling arena was boisterous as usual, and 2 students were already on the arena getting set to battle.As
Chloe coughed out blood, her face now extremely pale as she looked at her now mysterious roommate with shock evident in her eyes. She already transformed back to her normal shape, her fairy wings were gone and her blue raging energy already dissipated. Despite Morales almost stuffing his face in hers in worry, she was silent, looking back at him in a daze. “Ahem…, cough, I think I’ll go first. I have a training scheduled for now”. Dave reacted first. After suppressing his shock at what just happened, he coughed, took a glance at his wristwatch, excused himself, and disappeared before anyone could offer an objection. His heart was already bleeding tears. He was actually the first student who was assigned to their room, now the newcomers who came after him were dwarfing him in strength. He really had to stop being so casual with training, he was no damn kid again. “Cough, I think I’ll go too”. Pop! Rose disappeared in a jiffy wit
When Morales got back to his room, he was feeling excited at the same intensity that he felt tired. Battling dozens of challengers consecutively was not an easy feat.Despite all the troubles that followed the challenge, he was completely satisfied with the outcome.To him, the gains of what he just did far exceeded the losses.Having the chance to battle so many same ranked opponents, he could now confidently beat his chest that he was familiar with his newly gained grade E strength.Not only that, though it was faint he knew that he now had a higher mastery over the use and control of his abilities, most especially the attribute regulator.The information that he learned alone about the use of the attribute regulator cannot be completely emphasized in just a day. To him, this ability was an anomaly in this world.“Zero, you were awesome!”“You completely trashed them, bro!”“Your new nickname is
