           “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 dojo treats students, they could go without training for a whole day without any significant adverse effects.

           As soon as the others closed their eyes, Morales went to the open cultivation space that was at the corner of the room.

           After sitting down cross-legged, he closed his eyes to concentrate before starting his cultivation. He did this for 30 minutes before opening his eyes again after he confirmed that the others were asleep already.

           He finally willed the system to display his current attributes.

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

           Current attributes:

           STR 80, DEX 45, END 30, INT 25, CHA 19, LUCK 2

           Free attribute points: 29

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

           He did not waste time, he ordered for all his 29 free attributes to be distributed. He allocated 21 for his strength attribute, before allocating the remaining 8 to his endurance attribute.

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

           Success! Your main attribute, strength, has been raised to above 100 points.

           [Lv. 25 Novice Pugilist Advancement Mission Complete.]

           You have reached the limit of the first Pugilist class tier; you may now choose any one of the following advancement routes:

           Warlord, E- Dominator, Cell Liberator.

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

           In Space World, the Pugilist class had 3 advancement routes, and choosing one was an irreversible decision.

           During Morales’s previous life, though his main account class was not a Pugilist, he still had a lot of experience through his side accounts about most of the nuisances of the Pugilist class.

           And as a player who mained as a mechanical Pugilist, he had a lot of experience about how normal Pugilists fought.

           The warlord advancement route, like the name depicted, was the most popular development route among the players. Morales also used it for his side account, and it was the coolest development route.

           Anything warlord-related was guaranteed to be tyrannical, and this was no exception.

           For Pugilist class holders, their training mainly focused on their body, their cells, and their energy. The 3 development routes were also divided using this as the focus.

           The warlord development route focused on the body.

           For most Pugilists, their body was their everything, their body was their life, and the warlord route brought this to an extreme.

           Pugilists who choose this route were usually the most aggressive and had the most explosive strength. All their active skill were mainly towards attacking, you rarely see a warlord Pugilist with more than a dozen defensive skills.

           A perfect example of a warlord Pugilist was the Storm warlord, whose weapon Morales drew from the system lottery draw.

           At his peak, the storm warlord was like a mobile war fortress. His offensive power was off the charts. In battle, the power released by his body was more powerful than battleships and planet obliteration weapons.

           The next advancement route, which was the E- Dominator actually meant Energy Dominator.

           Like the name depicted, the E- Dominator route fell into the energy category.           Every Pugilist fight mostly with their body, but E- Dominator Pugilists tend to rely more on their energy than the brute power of their bodies.

           In a more basic tense, E- Dominator Pugilists were the ones more inclined to long-ranged attacks.

           Instead of closing in every time for close-ranged battles which was the widely acknowledged forte of Pugilists, they tend to fight by releasing condensed Pugilist energy attacks at their opponents from afar.

           Among the 3 Pugilist development routes, they were the most balanced, and they had the most tricks during battles. In that sense, they were more like mechanical Pugilists but with much less power.

           For the last development route, the Cell Liberator route fell into the cell category.

           In summary, these were the turtle shell Pugilists.

           Pugilists like the late protector Davis that Morales killed a few weeks ago had the most tendency of choosing this route, this way their bulwark defense potential could be maximized.

           In Space World, it was widely known that if you encounter a Cell Liberator who had more energy reserves than you, it was advisable to run immediately as these guys were practically undying cockroaches.

           Unlike the previous 2 development routes, Cell Liberators mostly focused on defense and hence was less popular among supers.

           Despite its lesser popularity, the strength of this route could not be underestimated.

           Most of their skills were focused on defense, resistance, and regeneration. Fighting an enemy that keeps on regenerating health in battle, such an enemy could only be referred to as disgusting.

           All the 3 development routes had advantages that would make it a hard choice, but Morales already made up his mind before coming here.

           With his knowledge of the game and as a mechanical Pugilist in his previous life, he was more inclined to choose the warlord route. He knew a lot of ways to make up for the disadvantages that followed it.

           This was the true route of a Pugilist, the body.

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

           Congratulations! You have decided on a development route and have succeeded in class advancement.

           Warning: This is an irreversible choice.

           You are now a Warlord [Lv. 1]

           You have gained 1 talent point.

           You have completed the first advancement.

           Endurance stat-boost has increased:

           1 Endurance = 15 Max HP

           1 Endurance = 20 Stamina

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

           Morales shuddered a bit as cool energy flowed through his body, he felt like his body was soaked into a hot pool in cold weather. The temperature contrast made his body feel complicated.

           He felt itchy all over, he felt like ants were crawling around his body.

           “Damn…! It was not like this in the game”. He gritted his teeth hard as a dense gas unknowingly leaked from his butt, diffusing the atmosphere immediately.

           As soon as he released the gas, he surprisingly felt free all of a sudden.

           His system interface lit up again at this moment.

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

           You have gained Energy Affinity: Golden!

           You have learned Energy Training Technique!

           Your skill- [Pugilist- Novice] has changed to Intermediate Pugilist energy Affinity!

           You have acquired a new skill:

           [Basic Cell Control!]

           Your genes have been stimulated: After ravaging through your bloodline, a random innate skill has been learned.

           [NEW! Clifford Decree!]

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

           This time around, Morales almost screamed out loud as the itching feeling immediately turned into a painful one. He felt like he was in a butchering table, and dozens of barbarians were hammering at his head.

           Sweat escaped out of his pores like waterfalls as they evaporated the next moment. He felt hot all over.

           This continued for about 10 seconds before it ended, but to Morales, he felt like he just lived a lifetime through that pain.

           Gritting his teeth while cursing softly, he finally observed his body.

           He noticed that his eyesight was clearer, but the one thing that attracted his attention was the dark golden energy that was revolving around his body.

           He had seen something like this before, it was just like the watery blue energy that revolved around Chloe whenever she cultivated. This was the sign that he was finally a grade E superhuman.

           “Haha…, muahahahahahaha!” He threw his head back and laughed to his heart’s content.

           He finally opened his system character information screen.

    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.

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?

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

    The next morning, after greeting his roommates who once again all woke up early due to the pressure that was induced by his rapid increase in strength, Morales laughed and left. Today, he was spending his time in the library. As soon as he went outside, he felt it immediately, there was a change. He could feel that the way his fellow students looked at him suddenly experienced a huge change overnight. “Good morning Senior!” A student originally walking on the path that he walked on greeted him nervously before quickly scurrying away. He was puzzled. “Am I so scary now? I’m not the Undertaker, who would they be scared of me? Is it because of the duel?” He was a little speechless, not knowing what to make out of this. Yesterday, these same guys were the ones clamoring loudly that he should be thought a lesson. Just after a single duel, they already turned to scared adorable bunnies. “What a scam!” Shaking his head, he did

    After learning all 3 skills, Morales closed his eyes as the familiar feeling of a large amount of information being deposited into his brain took over him.About a minute later, the information finally settled into his brain.He was still awed by the seemingly magical ability of the system. Though he didn’t even have any of these abilities in his previous life, he felt that he practiced these abilities for thousands of years.He was still not accustomed to this, it just felt too unreal.“If the system can dump so much knowledge inside my head without me being able to resist, does that not mean it can equally brainwash me without me being able to resist?”He shuddered on this thought.There was nothing that he could do though, so he put it at the back of his mind. If the system wasted energy to bring him to this world just to kill or brainwash him, then it was free to do it.He didn’t beg to come here; he was br

It was already a month since he trashed all the first-year students of the Border town Pugilist dojo in a duel. During this time, a lot of things happened and he already trained with his energy training technique a lot. It did not take him much effort to get the hang of the technique, so apart from his daily practice and dungeon delving, he spent his remaining time training with the technique. As a reward for his diligence, during this time training daily, he already amassed 125 energy attributes and 232 stamina. The effectiveness of the Energy Training Technique was divided into 3 stages: -&

    As soon as Morales entered inside the open market with his roommates, he felt that he just entered a brand-new fantasy world that was filled with wonders for his eyes to feast on. As he expected, inside the market was far more outstanding than outside. Before they were allowed in, they first had to register themselves with 10 Beiger dollars each. After the registration, they were given a passage card and an omnidirectional map. Through the map, they got the overall size, layout, and design of the market. The market was smaller than Morales speculated. It was 5 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, it was big but not too big compared to what Morales has seen before now. Most cities on planet Beiger don’t have physical markets, all buying and selling are virtual. But if a city has one, the size is easily 10 times this one. The market’s layout is designed and divided into 15 columns and 10 rows, making it fairly complicated to maneuver t

The heroic battle of the new King could never be forgotten. Though the Pyramid was locked from the outside world when Morales was engaged in his epoch-changing battle against the Medusa and the mummified monster, there were countless experts who could recreate the scene.

Donning a special Pugilist armor that was made to fit his physique, and to enhance his Pugilist energy and endurance in battle, Morales was more than ready to take on this impossible mission. 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. Putting aside its deliberate model after earth’s pyramid of Giza, this was a battlefield where he had farmed for experience points like a man

As soon as Pharoah Khufu declared conquer, it was like an authoritative galaxy-wide order was given. All the undead beasts who answered to this ancient Pharoah listened and acted when he spoke. The pyramid opened up into individual triangular shuttles after the order, these shuttles turned into superspeed ferries to transport an endless army of undead creatures to all corners of Beiger planet.

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

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.

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
