Aiden after forcing himself to watch the ongoing test he couldn't handle it anymore "Elder Chan can you please send us to the academy or I may die from boredom"
"why are they way beneath your level "
"Well to be honest yes they're it's a waste of time" Aiden nodded his head while looking kind of disappointed at the screen.
Instructor White didn't approve of that "yes if we compare you're far better than them but still there may be few diamonds in between" this earned a sneer from Aiden "old man if you really think a diamond will appear in this pile of trash than you may as well go for retirement" not giving the angered instructor a second for replying "look at them it's only a test although it's the famous sanctum of sages it's still just a test yet they are behaving as if they're life in danger even those from famous clans the same which means they're not important because all the real geniuses from those clans are already inside the academy, next let talk about their behavior when I released my killing intent which was with no real intent yet all of them abandoned all resistance which disappointed me except for eight people if I include Frederick with them" he looked at the screen and pointed at seven participants "those seven are the only one who have a little worth there the rest are just a waste of resources if the academy grooms them but since this won't happen so the best thing they achieve in life is being a foot soldier" the more Aiden talks the more the instructors shock raisen after all it was the undying truth Infront of them which makes them not able to say anything.
"And it was all of you who made this problem" shaking his head "always praising it as the incomparable generation or the god gifted generation now many clueless idiots think they are the one been praised while it was called like that because of the few who are the hope of humanity to stay at the top and becoming the light in their darkest days the rest are just there if luck and fate are in their side they may achieve something"
Vice-president Chan started clapping and looking at Aiden with admiration "as expected from the sole disciple of the Exalted one you eye is really sharper than most people" he then looked at Frederick "what's your view about this".
As if in deep thoughts while looking at the screen "if it was the previous me i may say he was wrong and he was just a brainless arrogant but after leaving the Eternal Cardinal and living in the Bottomless abyss for few years my eyes really opened for the real world" looking at Aiden with gratitude "your appearance was the trigger for many to change their prospect about the world be it me, that Devil or Kendrick and many more who participated in the Ancient battlefield changed the moment we crossed your road after all you was far stronger than all of us still didn't show none of the behavior we had at that time, now i remember that time i was really like a clown and i found it funny that i was praised for being a genius who will reach the top because for the current me that version was simply a trash" remembering the past made him embarrassed of himself.
The instructors become dumbfounded from his words because the young Frederick was like a freak, at the age of 15 be it his combate techniques, energy manipulation or strength he was at the top and even reaching the Awareness state without difficulty yet he was saying now that his younger self is just trash which shocked them greatly.
"It's nice that you accepted that fact and improved yourself before it was too late" Aiden respect for him grows up more "not many have the courage to abounded everything just to improve their strength believe me in the future if nothing unfortunate happened reaching the third step will be easy for you"
"Boy you're talking about the third step as if it's something anyone can achieve" Elder Chan rolled his eyes at Aiden boldness, after all it took him up to his seventy before him reached the second step that he talked about yet from the little monster tone reaching it should be easy as eating or drinking.
"Old man it might be hard for others but the likes of us is not" replied Aiden with full of confidence for himself and his friends "as expected from the famous Asura"
"Frederick don't tell me you don't have this little confidence in yourself"
"I already put the second step the bar minimum to reach otherwise i will be embarrassed to consider myself your rival"
The instructors and even Elder Chan were feeling a myriad of emotions at the moment because the way they talked was as if everything was in their reach and not something others will truly risk their lives for a small hope of reaching just the first Step let alone the third one.
"Is this you master philosophy" asked him Scarface with hesitation on his face
"No this got to do nothing with master it's because the way I grow up inside the Bottomless Abyss" Aiden was looking at the screen while remembering the past "from the age of 5 I did nothing except for fighting and training although master guided me he still forced me to figure everything myself and not just relying on him and that's why I was stronger than all of them when I met them in the ancient battlefield because my experience was greater than all of them combinated even though many of them are actually more gifted then me yet when they stood in my face be it the famous geniuses from large clans or those disciples of strong martial artists all trembled in fear under my feet and lost the will to fight back just because of reality hitting them hard they thought that they are the chosen ones yet when they met a true warrior they give up easily"
Aiden's words impressed all the people hearing him, especially Frederick who was looking at him with conflicted gaze because only after experiencing life outside the Eternal Cardinal did he realize how wrong his thinking was.
"I can understand your thoughts but you saying that many of them are more gifted then you is a little too much" said Elder White as a sign of disprove this made Aiden laugh.
"You truly don't understand anything because what I'm better than the other in is that I have been fighting my whole life against all life forms that's the secret of my strength nothing more nothing less" Aiden then pointed at Frederick "like between us if I fight the current him I might not be able to defeat him quickly but if I want to kill him how much time do you think it will take me" hearing his question all the instructors were in silence because no one knew the answer even Frederick was not sure how to answer that.
"From my point of view it'll take you less than a minute" said Elder Chan who has the highest strength and insight in the room, this surprised Frederick because in his mind he should be able to hold longer.
"That's right and not only him because even Kendrick who's widely known for his strength two years ago couldn't survive a minute if I go all out because in the current generation of people I know only Xuan He probably has the ability to push me to my limits and survive"
"Because both of you are killers and not fighters right" Frederick's eyes were shining when he said that while the instructors were in deep thoughts.
"Now I understand why two years ago except for you and Xuan He the rest were fighting everywhere and taking all types of missions is because they wanted to close the gap of strength with you" hearing Benny words made Aiden looks at him with a prise "as expect you're worthy of being called one of the 10 strongest inside the sanctum of sages you're truly sharp one".
"Benny you take them to the academy" said vice-president Chan before turning to Aiden "you have been given the status of an Ace by the president" it was not a surprise to them that he was accepted as an Ace immediately.
"How many Aces are there right now vice-president" Aiden asked with interest because from what he knew only the cream of the crop inside the academy can be given the status of one.
"If we include you than 18 and your friend is also one of them"
"And how's his strength compared to the rest"
"If he goes all out then entering the top 10 is in his reach i guess"
After that Benny took both of Aiden and Frederick away while the rest stayed observing the exame.
The benchmark for entering the Sanctum of sages Academy wasn’t low. All of the students that managed to enter this top academy were all outstanding existences from their respective homes. However, this excellence of theirs had dimmed by comparison after they reached the Sanctum of sages academy. This is because there were too many brilliant people in this place. In order to shine inside a place where geniuses gathered, it required much more than talent. Perseverance, determination, and effort were all required as well, like the Xuan brothers, in a place where no one wants to submit to another the duo were acknowledged as monsters that comes once in a hundred year, the youngest brother is called Xuan Yuan born with godlike strength from young he has a sturdy and tall body and now at the age of 19 he was already over 2 meters tall and weighed 175kg this number was definitely not that high because he was fat, but was instead because of his big strong muscles. His muscles were tha
After Aiden and Frederick were gone the others completed their test without a problem and at the end of the day from 123000 participants 49200 were accepted which was around 40% of the enrollers which was shocking, but the thing that shocked the academy more was the news that Aiden known as Asura has finally enrolled into the Sanctum of sages.In a training room inside the academy, a young man was standing with his upper body being naked, he has an average high and looks a little bit skinny but the outline of his muscles as if they were sculpted like a piece of art, with sharp eyes and handsome face and his golden hair that dripping on his shoulders, he was charming but manly the type that many women were attracted to.Surrounding him were a bunch of broken puppets some were bronze and others were silver, many puppets ganged up on him yet none could even touch his shadow "so he is finally here this
When he confirmed that his opponent didn't die and just lost his consciousness he sighs in relief and leaves thinking that since they're inside the academy nothing will happen to him. After a few minutes, two students came there to check after hearing some noises only to find a person lying there "crap who is this playing dead in the middle of the road" one of them said as he approached the unconscious person when they saw his face both of them froze for a moment "oh no isn't this one of the Aces Sam" both of them exclaimed at the same time and fear spread in their heart, after all, to defeat an Ace to the point of being unconscious can be achieved only by another Ace."Let's take him to the medical department then we'll report this to the elder in charge of the Aces," said the first student.Aiden at that moment didn't care about that because after getting lost many times he finally arrived at the dorm that was assigned for him. To his surprise, there was a yout
"To think I would meet my rival this soon makes me excited" hearing Aiden's words made both Alex and Gonerio look at each other with shock in their eyes because they finally understood Aiden's identity.Both of them were sitting casually a moment ago yet thinking about Aiden's identity made them become sturn as they strengthened their back and beads of sweat started appearing on them as their eyes were filled with fear. Seeing that Aiden couldn't help but sight internally thinking that it was really hard making friends out here.Gonerio looked at Frederick wanting to confirm his guess only for the latter to nod his head "yeah he's the one you're thinking about the one and only Asura" although Alex and Gonerio expected that answer yet hearing the confirmation made their body tense and their body started shaking uncontrollably.Actually, Aiden one was the most casual guy ever. He never thought that he was superior to anyone and treated all people equally no matter
In this age being a Martial artist is the dream of all, yet those who truly step in the Martial way are only those who were blessed with both talent and luck, yet work hard to achieve their goal and so stepping to a new world, and to be recognized as a real martial artist you need first to control your own life force, also known as Taka. It's the Spiritual fuel that runs the body and mind. It governs one's stamina, durability, and strength generally, it's not visible to the naked eye and uncontrolled unless it is highly concentrated or manifested in sizable amounts through training in martial arts and hard work.Martial arts become Humanity's greatest weapon to contend against the other races and any expert is an asset to the Federation, after much research on ancient martial arts and with the help of modern technology and the boost that the primal energy gives, the inner energy Taka becomes something that can be controlled and the human becomes able to achieve an extraordina
On the west side of the academy, there were the three most important facilities in the academy, the sage pavilion where the important personages stay, the techniques department where students visit to learn techniques and skills, and the Aces hall where the future leaders and humanity hope are groomed.Inside the Aces hall there's a room with a big round table in the middle, in that room at the moment 16 youngsters were sitting around the table 10 men and 6 women, they were the current Aces of the sanctum of sages all of them looked dashing and outstanding just from their aura alone. Currently, some of them had a look of anger, and others looked irritated while others were releasing a killing intent without masking anything. After the academy ordered all of them to be back whether they were on a mission, learning new techniques, or trying to break through to the next stage, all of the Aces must gather because a new member was joining them.Yet when all of them to
Aiden's words made some of the Aces ashamed while others were looking at him with displease, however, the reality was clear like the sky because Aiden was truly fearsome compared to them, not only did he participate in many fights against the other races he was able to achieve a military rank and being one of youngest ever to do that at the age of 17. And just to go from a foot soldier to the next rank you have to participate in 30 wars, yet even the best one from so-called geniuses of this generation David only participated in five 10 and this made him proud as if he did something unbelievable."You see the difference between me and you is that I don't care if people consider me a genius or be one of the Aces because what matters is to improve oneself and be impactful after all we are in a situation where an all-out war between the races can begin at any moment" Aiden was looking at them with disdain not
Monarch of Massacre is a title that many respected because of his sense of justice and love for humanity, however, he's also feared by many because of that. Like how he crippled a genius from the Merchant Union because he was disrespectful to his seniors which angered the Merchant Union as they demanded an explanation from him only to be ignored so they wanted to use strength only to end up hitting the wall as the Monarch of Massacre defeated all those they sent and forced the Merchant Union to accept reality. That incident pushed his fame even more as he faced one of humanity's peak organizations without fear."Elder Martyn I respect your opinion, yeah compared to the other generation we are lacking but that includes the two you said are humanity's hope" David said as he looked at Martyn with displeasing, compared to the others he didn't fear him at all after all his master is someone Martyn bow whenever
