The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 26: Becoming a Zeta-Ranked Xeon User
Chapter 26: Becoming a Zeta-Ranked Xeon User"Just who is Miss Raelyn?"Cedric's mind kept circling around this question.Not only had she forced the XAO Inspectors to release him immediately, but she had also overturned the Disciplinary Committee’s punishment without hesitation. An ordinary teacher wouldn’t have that kind of influence.Although Cedric was suspicious of her background, he no longer felt wary of her.After all, she knew exactly what he had done last month.Even though his punishment had ended, Cedric still arrived at school early. Waking up before sunrise had already become a habit.A Part-Time JobOver the past month, Chef Caleb had given him a part-time job in the academy’s kitchen. It wasn’t much, but Cedric had earned close to five thousand rad in total.Rad was the official currency in BB City. It was comparable to the old-world British pound.That money had been useful. It allowed Cedric to mix his legitimate earnings with the “compensation” he had taken from The
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 27: Energy Drained
Chapter 27: Energy DrainedCedric Vale sat cross-legged in the dimly lit room, his gaze focused and unyielding. He took in a slow, controlled breath, allowing the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest to settle his mind. The air around him was thick with stillness, disturbed only by the faint hum of energy pulsing beneath his skin."I need to channel my Xeon through the fourth conduit today," he murmured to himself, shutting his eyes in quiet concentration.Over the past two months, Cedric had immersed himself in the intricate art of Powerflow Channeling, mastering its subtleties with a relentless drive. He had come to understand that climbing the ranks of Xeon Users wasn’t just about brute force—it required patience, discipline, and a deep connection with the energy coursing through his veins. Meditation was essential. Hours of relentless focus, pushing his limits, forcing his Xeon essence to expand in both quantity and quality.And, of course, training. Relentless, unyielding training
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 28 – A Feast Before the Storm
Chapter 28 – A Feast Before the StormThe moment Max Vale tapped the smooth metallic surface of his storage device, a faint hum resonated through the room.Troooiinn!A holographic projection flickered to life before him, displaying four distinct items in a grid-like formation. His eyes swept over them quickly—A sleek, rectangular metallic slab.A neatly stacked wad of cash.A small, reinforced briefcase.A tall, oven-like apparatus.Without hesitation, Max selected the fourth option, and in an instant, the large device materialized in front of him, standing at nearly two meters tall. His body swayed slightly as exhaustion threatened to pull him into unconsciousness, but he fought against the pull, reaching out to grasp the handle of the oven-like equipment.With a grunt, he wrenched it open.A rush of warm air carried the rich scent of seasoned meats, freshly baked pastries, and roasted delicacies. The sight before him was almost overwhelming—trays stacked with juicy steaks, golden-
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 29: The Duel That Must Be Won
Chapter 29: The Duel That Must Be WonThe XAO Training Center was a marvel of modern architecture, an emblem of precision and power. The moment Max stepped inside, he was met with an atmosphere that exuded discipline and authority.The vast entrance hall stretched before him, its polished floor gleaming under the soft glow of overhead lights. The entire space was a seamless blend of technology and artistry—sleek, metallic walls adorned with intricate geometric patterns that pulsed faintly with embedded circuits.Two long counters stood at the north and east ends of the hall, manned by receptionists in dark, impeccably tailored uniforms. They worked with quiet efficiency, fingers dancing across holographic panels as they processed information at an almost mechanical pace. Their faces remained neutral, professional—trained to maintain unwavering composure.Above them, the ceiling was a breathtaking fusion of deep sapphire blue and golden hues, mimicking a sky caught in perpetual dusk. S
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 30: Measuring Strength
Chapter 30: Measuring StrengthA lush expanse of greenery spread across the environment, where vibrant patches of flowers and carefully cultivated grasses swayed gently in an artificial breeze. Despite being within a massive enclosed space, the ceiling above was a stunning replica of the sky—a seamless illusion of blue with drifting clouds, making it appear as if one stood beneath the open heavens.Scattered throughout were wooden structures, their architecture reminiscent of traditional bungalows. These compact buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion, each adorned with white sliding doors crisscrossed by black lattice patterns. The entire area was vast—easily spanning the size of ten stadiums combined—yet astonishingly, this elaborate design existed within what was technically a business complex.Max Vale had been taken aback the first time he arrived here. The sheer scale and craftsmanship of the place had been unexpected, yet the ancient aesthetic blended with modern enhancem
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 31: The Duel
Chapter 31: The DuelThe tension in the air was palpable as the gathering settled into a hushed anticipation. Miss Raelyn stood firm, her piercing gaze sweeping across the dueling ground.“We don't have time for unnecessary chatter, so let’s get straight to it… Samsuma, Bola, my student is prepared.” Her voice carried an unwavering authority as she addressed the two men clad in emerald-hued yakuta.The man to the left, a wiry figure with a bald head and a deep, gravelly voice, gave a solemn nod. “We have reviewed the terms of the duel. Rest assured, both parties will be held accountable for their commitments.”His counterpart, a stockier man with stark white hair and a slightly tanned complexion, added in a firm tone, “As agreed, injuries are permitted. Each instructor bears responsibility for their student’s medical care if any harm is sustained. Furthermore, no teacher shall subject their student to mistreatment or humiliation should they be defeated.”Miss Raelyn and the opposing i
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 32 – The Second Challenger
Chapter 32 – The Second Challenger The sharp whistle of wind accompanied the attack as it swept beneath him, causing the hem of his yukata to flutter wildly.Max twisted his body mid-air, the motion fluid and instinctual. His left leg arced downward in a brutal counterstrike, aimed straight for Aurora’s torso.But just as he was about to make contact, the air around her shimmered.From nothingness, streams of water materialized—twelve in total, writhing like serpentine tendrils.They lunged toward him.Three targeted each arm, while six more coiled toward his legs, seeking to ensnare him before he could land.The onlookers collectively held their breath.Suspended mid-air with no ground beneath him, Max appeared to be completely vulnerable. The water tendrils were mere inches from capturing him, their liquid forms shifting with an unnatural agility.There was no way out.Or so they thought.In a flash, Max’s limbs snapped inward, his body folding into itself. He curled into a tight b
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 33 - Instant Defeat!
Chapter 33 - Instant Defeat!“Trying to bait me with such weak provocations won’t work,” Max Vale said, his voice calm but firm as he strode away without so much as a backward glance. His posture remained relaxed, his steps unhurried, as if the challenge wasn’t even worth his time. “Not only would I defeat you with ease, but there’s nothing for me to gain from it. I have far better things to do.”The dismissive tone in his voice cut deeper than any insult.Masuba’s jaw tightened as irritation flared in his chest. He clenched his fists, resisting the urge to lash out right there. Being ignored was worse than being mocked."What if you could gain something from it?" Masuba called out, his voice laced with desperation and challenge. "How about a wager?"This time, Max finally paused. His crimson eyes glinted with intrigue as he turned to face the other student.‘Hmm... I may not be able to steal his abilities, but there are still things I can take from him.’ A small smirk tugged at the c

Chapter 49: Stacking Up Paper Bills
Chapter 49: Stacking Up Paper Bills"G-Gustav wins the duel!"Supervisor Bola’s voice trembled as he made the announcement, his throat suddenly dry. Yet, even with the official verdict, the gathered crowd remained frozen, their gazes locked on the crumpled figure lying motionless on the stage.Yura Kaelis—once proud, untouchable, the self-proclaimed elite—was now unrecognizable. Her swollen face bore grotesque shades of purple and red, her once-delicate features marred by torn skin and bruises so deep they seemed permanent. Blood crusted along her cheekbones, her lips split and trembling. The girl who had always commanded attention with her beauty now resembled a shattered doll.A sickening silence lingered in the air. Even those who had supported her could not deny the brutality of the scene before them.Meanwhile, Gustav stood unbothered, methodically wiping the blood from his hands as he descended from the stage. His footsteps were cas
Chapter 48: Hash Disgrace
Chapter 48: Hash Disgrace Yura Kaelis remained on the stage even after her victory, standing firm with her piercing gaze fixed in a singular direction.A hush fell over the spectators as they followed her line of sight, curiosity flickering in their eyes before realization settled in. She was staring directly at Max Vale.“Max, I challenge you to a duel!” Her voice cut through the tense silence like a blade, sharp and commanding.Max met her gaze with an unreadable expression, his face composed and distant. Yet, beneath that stoic facade, an amused smirk played at the edges of his thoughts.‘So, she finally decided to make her move,’ he mused inwardly, his arms loosely crossed as he observed her.Murmurs erupted among the gathered students.“She’s challenging Max?”“Oh, this is going to be good.”“I’ve been waiting to see him in action again.”Excitement crackled through the air. Though m
Chapter 47: The Power of Creation
Chapter 47: The Power of CreationYura Kaelis froze, her sharp gaze locked onto the group approaching from the other end of the training hall. Her expression flickered with disbelief as her focus narrowed on the blonde-haired boy striding toward them with an air of complete indifference."That's...? No, that can't be..." she muttered under her breath, her mind struggling to reconcile the past with the present.Max Bladeheart had once been someone she barely acknowledged—a figure who had, at most, admired her from afar. Yet, now, standing before her, there was nothing familiar about him. No admiration. No reverence. No lingering trace of the boy who had once looked at her like she was untouchable.Instead, his crimson gaze met hers without hesitation, devoid of recognition, interest, or even disdain. It was as if she was a stranger, someone utterly irrelevant in his world. Yura felt an unfamiliar pang in her chest, something she wasn’t willing to n
Chapter 46: invitation
Chapter 46: invitation Max stood in the quiet dojo, his muscles taut from training. A flicker of amusement crossed his face as he sensed the presence of others outside the door. The muffled voices seeped through the wooden panels, laced with tension and hushed urgency.'Finally grew the nerve to show up, huh?' Max mused inwardly, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Without hesitation, he strode toward the door and slid it open, revealing the figures waiting outside.Four individuals stood at the entrance—two boys and two girls, all seemingly around his age. He recognized two of them from the crowd that had watched his fight against Aurora, their expressions now a mixture of apprehension and forced confidence. The other two girls, however, were unfamiliar.The moment the doors opened, the conversation among the group came to an abrupt halt. The girl with streaks of black and purple in her hair eyed Max with skepticism before leani
Chapter 45 - Drawing Everyone’s Attention
Chapter 45 - Drawing Everyone’s Attention As Cedric strode through the academy corridors, a subtle grin played at the edges of his lips. "Maybe this place isn’t such a curse after all..." His posture was relaxed but poised, his movements fluid yet commanding. Unintentionally, he was drawing the gaze of nearly everyone in the hallways. Unlike before, the looks he received were not filled with disdain or condescension—this time, they carried something different. The female students found their eyes lingering on him, an unconscious fascination flickering in their expressions. There was something magnetic about the way he carried himself—an effortless confidence that hadn’t been there before. The male students, on the other hand, observed him with quiet envy, as if struggling to place why he suddenly seemed... different. Cedric remained oblivious to their stares, his mind occupied wi
Chapter 44: Collection Plan
Chapter 44: Collection Plan The neighborhood had been in an uproar since the battle against the Bloodwolf. The news spread like wildfire—Max Vale, the quiet and often unnoticed young man who lived alone, had single-handedly taken down the rampaging beast. At first, many were skeptical, dismissing it as an exaggeration. But after seeing the bloodstained pavement and the claw marks left behind, they could no longer deny the truth. The respect Max received from the community shifted almost overnight. People who barely acknowledged his presence before now gave him approving nods or whispered among themselves when he passed. Even the XAO Inspectors who had been dispatched to investigate had questioned him extensively. They had also spoken to Angy, as she had been directly involved. However, once their inquiries were done, there was little else they could do. The Bloodwolf had been a serious threat, and Max’s intervention had prevented fur
Chapter 43: Earned Recognition
. Chapter 43: Earned Recognition A sharp Zing! pierced the air. In a flash of blue light, the lifeless body of the bloodwolf materialized on the ground. Gasps erupted all around. "What…?!" A stunned silence settled over the gathered officers and bystanders. Every single pair of eyes was locked onto the grotesque remains of the bloodwolf, their expressions a mix of disbelief and horror. The creature’s head was barely clinging to its neck, connected only by a few sinewy strands of torn flesh. Deep, gaping holes riddled its body, each the size of a clenched fist, leaking fresh rivulets of blood onto the cracked pavement. Its face was caved in, its skull visibly fractured. The sheer brutality of its injuries told a chilling story—this beast hadn’t just been killed; it had been utterly dismantled. A shudder ran through the officers as they exchanged uneasy glances.
Chapter 42: Arrival of the XAO Inspectors
Chapter 42: Arrival of the XAO InspectorsBAM!The sheer weight of the bloodwolf sent the towering tree crashing to the ground, splintering bark and scattering leaves in all directions.Max Vale stood amidst the chaos, his breaths steady despite the ferocity of the battle. His golden-brown eyes glowed faintly in the dim moonlight, locked onto the beast. He had deliberately struck its head first, knowing that its unnaturally elastic hide would make a prolonged battle difficult. A precise, powerful blow was his best chance at swiftly ending the fight.But the bloodwolf was far from finished.With a guttural snarl, the beast staggered upright, shaking its head to dispel the dizziness from Max’s previous assault. Its dark red eyes flashed with renewed aggression as it planted its claws into the dirt."Awooo!"The beast’s howl echoed through the night as it lunged at Max with renewed ferocity.Slash! Slash!Its razor-sharp claws lashed out in rapid succession, carving through the air with
Chapter 41 – The Strength of Beast Transformation
Chapter 41 – The Strength of Beast TransformationAngy spun around immediately, her heart pounding as a wave of dread surged through her.Swoosh!She shot forward like an arrow, her eyes locked onto the monstrous beast and the defenseless man beneath its shadow. The Crimson Direwolf loomed over its prey, claws poised to descend, a cruel glint in its predatory gaze.The distance between them was nearly a hundred feet, and despite Angy’s exceptional speed, she could only cover around forty feet per second. That meant she needed almost three full seconds to reach them.Three seconds too long.The Direwolf’s claws were already mid-swing.Its attack would land in less than a second.And that meant—Swoosh!Another figure moved.A blur of motion streaked past Angy’s side, so fast that a gust of wind lifted her hair in its wake.‘If even one of them dies, I fail the quest.’Max’s thoughts burned as he launched forward.[Sprint has been activated][-20 EP]His breath hitched as he compressed
