Blood Evolution System

The testing continued after Nevis Truemight was taken away from the testing room on a stretcher.

"Grade-3: pass."

"Grade-7: pass."

"Grade-2: fail."

"Grade-1: fail."

"Grade-9: pass."

Some of the temporary students barely managed to pass the test of titan\'s strength as they didn\'t have any supernatural ability. Moreover, they lacked magic technique and transcendental-grade combat technique. Among these students, most of them had a very low control over battle energy and they weren\'t able to utilize a single transcendental-grade combat technique.

What really caused Alex\'s eyebrows to raise was the fact that these brats haven\'t even learned a good offensive magic technique.

"It isn\'t hard to learn a magic technique. You just need to memorize some hand signs," Alex said while feeling disappointed. "Why are the examinees this year so bad? Only the first few were interesting to see. Should we disqualify the rest?"

Kayle rolled her eyes at Alex as she thought that maybe he doesn\'t know the basics of how a magic technique works. \'He probably also doesn\'t know that most of the commoners can never afford one as an actually powerful magic technique cost a fortune.\'

A person can cast a magic technique once magic power circulates from the heart into certain veins. Most people use hand signs to circulate magic power. It\'s scientifically proven that certain hand signs cause magic power to flow out of the heart and travel into the veins. For example, Old Miller created a magic technique called [Mana Bullet]. By performing the required set of hand signs, magic power had flowed out of Vincent\'s hand and condensed into a magic bullet that was used to kill the Red Tusk Elephant.

However, humans have countless veins, and it\'s hard to come up with an offensive magic technique by oneself.

Nevertheless, some books called magic books explains in detail the postures of each hand sign and the order they are to be performed in to cast a certain magic technique. However, magic books are costly. It\'s because magic book contains information about magic techniques that was created by a person who sells magic books for a living. That person earns 50% of the total revenue. The remaining is split between tax authorities and the trading platform.

"It\'s easy for you because you find it easy to memorize hand signs. But it\'s hard for others, as they can\'t easily memorize hand signs and the order they are needed to be performed to cast a magic technique. Besides, this year the minimum acceptance rate in every testing center is 50 students. Any less than that, and they will cut our salaries," Theodore said as he looked at Alex.

They needed to at least bring back 50 new students to their base. Or else, they will be punished and their salaries deducted.

"Well, I guess beggars can\'t be choosers," Alex mumbled after a while, watching one unassuming student after another pass the test with an average grade.

However, many of the temporary students had passed the test with flying marks. Though they also were considered as average in Alex\'s eyes. Some of them possessed abilities extremely useful for combat while the others had great control over their battle energy and were able to execute a transcendent grade combat technique with some difficulties. So far, most of the students that had taken this test have passed. Only a few have failed.

"Let\'s decide who go first and last with a single round of rock paper and scissors," John said once only a few students that didn\'t take the test remained.

"Okay, let\'s start at the count of three," Vincent said as they started counting the numbers in unison.

A few seconds later, Vincent and John claimed victory over Leilani in the first throw. They both used rocks while she threw scissors and that lost her the game.

"I guess I will be the first to take the test among us," Leilani said before she excused herself and started to step towards the iron wall.

As she was stepping in front of the crowd to take the test, the boys played another round of rock paper and scissors.

"I won," John exclaimed. As luck would have it, Vincent lost to him in the third game, the first two were a draw as they picked the same hand.

At the very moment he lost against him, a notification popped up in front of his face.

‹ New Mission Activated! ›

‹ Task: Pass the test of titan\'s strength ›

‹ Completion Reward: 3 Experience Points ›

‹ The better your grade, the higher your reward ›

"Hmm, I will earn three experience points if I pass the test with grade-3. Right?" Vincent internally said.

‹ Yes ›

"Doesn\'t that mean that I will gain one extra experience points for each grade?" Vincent asked as he wanted to confirm his suspicions.

‹ The owner is absolutely correct ›

Vincent smiled as he thought that he needed to score grade-60 to earn enough experience points to level up. \'That will be pretty hard but I might just be able to do it,\' he thought before his gaze focused on Leilani\'s figure.

She was clad in a beautiful white dress and wearing knee-high socks. Her baby face, small nose, and rosy lips made her look exceptionally cute. Her short and slender figure only worked to enhance her cuteness. Because of her white hair and mesmerizing big eyes, she seemed like a cute snow rabbit. She was eye candy for everyone, both males and females.

The best thing the people in the surrounding felt about her was that she was equally talented. She scored 340 points, gaining the third-highest result. She created a one-meter-long pole by using her ice ability and hurled it at the iron wall with incredible speed by using telekinesis. Her points summed up to strength grade-34.

The strength of an average human was 10 points or 100 kilograms.

In simpler words, Leilani\'s attack carried 3.4 tons of force!

This surprised her a lot as she was now ten times stronger compared to her previous self. Her eyes filled with gratitude landed on Vincent. It\'s all because of him that she managed to self-awaken and become powerful. She started to walk towards him.

"Give it yours all in this test. Use all your strength even if it means breaking your bones. I have a feeling that the contribution points will determine much of our future. Trust me on this one," Vincent said as he looked at John.

"I will try my best to do as you say, but it\'s hard to guarantee that I\'ll be able to uphold my words," John replied. He feared pain like any other sane person. That\'s why he wasn\'t sure whether he will be able to pull off a stunt like Nevis or not.

"Well, it\'s your life," Vincent said as he started to walk towards the front of the crowd.

Leilani came up to him as he walking towards the iron wall.

"I did good. Right?" She said.

Vincent knew that she was expecting to be praised.

"Yes, you did well," Vincent said as he gently caressed her head.

Leilani blushed so hard that her face turned red like a ripe tomato.

"Big brother, I wish you all the best!" Leilani said.

Hearing her words of encouragement, Vincent walked towards the iron wall while thinking that he will do better than Leilani.

"Big brother\'s eyes were so sharp and his touch was so warm! Now my heart is racing so fast," Leilani internally exclaimed like a fangirl as she buried her face in her hands.

"I have a few questions to ask," Vincent said once he stood a few meters away from the iron wall.

Alex looked at him and said, "Shoot."

"Say, if there\'s a chance of my heart rupturing, bones of my entire hand shattering, and blood vessels exploding, will I make it out alive? Can the healers heal such injuries? How long will it take to heal such injuries?" Vincent asked while rubbing the back of his head as he looked at the examiners.

The instructors looked at him as if he was crazy.

What kind of questions were these?

Are you planning to commit suicide?

"Yes, but it will take a few minutes," Theodore replied. "We will bring you back to life, even if you are halfway through the river Styx. Though why do you ask?" he inquired with a look of interest.

"Well, you will find out soon enough," Vincent replied mysteriously as he took off his shirt.

"Oh my god, he\'s so hot! This is free eye candy!"

"I wish he is still single. I will get his number as soon as he finishes this test."

"He is so muscular. He must have trained a lot."

Vincent\'s muscular body and pale skin with no acne attracted the attention of a lot of girls. All of them, including Kayle, stared at his handsome face seemingly having no intention of looking away.

Vincent\'s eyebrows slightly twitched due to their compliments. Anyway, he had taken off his shirt as he believed that otherwise it will be torn apart.

After hunching low and slamming his fist on his left chest, Vincent took a deep breath and his eyes turned scarlet. At the same time, his blood flow increased by a few times, enhancing his strength, speed, stamina, and natural recovery rate.

"Blood Gear: Crimson Ruler!"

His looks changed as one could see thick veins pulsating all over his body, making him look ferocious like a devil

‹ 30 units of Sangue Blood has been consumed to manipulate your blood flow ›

‹Your Strength has temporarily increased to 79 points ›

‹ Your Stamina has temporarily increased to 72 points ›

‹ Your Agility has temporarily increased to 75 points ›

The Sangue Heart was connected to his blood vessels. A day before the examination, he had mixed the blood contained in the Sangue heart with his own blood. After that, he found out that he could control and manipulate his blood as he wished.

\'By accelerating my blood flow, I almost doubled my strength. However, this ability is a little bit too straining. I need to end this fast," Vincent thought as his right hand balled into a fist.

Whoosh!

He concentrated ten units of battle energy into his legs, dashing towards the iron wall with an incredible speed, and at the same time, he activated the transcendental grade combat technique, charged strike, and amplified the power of his fist by focusing 20 units of battle energy into it.

The 20 units of battle energy increased the power of his fist by a few tons. His base strength had reached 790 kilograms the moment he activated his blood gear. Both combined up to around 5 tons. The speed behind his attack also increased the strength of his attack by a few times.

A person\'s speed also increases his attack. It\'s just like throwing a tiny rock from a very high place, it will become a very dangerous weapon comparable to a bullet as it descends.

Boom!

The sound of his bones cracking and the surface of the iron wall shattering echoed at the same time after his fist connected with the iron wall, and he immediately gritted his teeth, forcefully stopping himself from squealing like a little girl.

"777 points!"

"Grade-77.7: pass."

The system announced as he dropped to his knees. The pain of bones stabbing into flesh was proving to be too much to bear and Vincent couldn\'t help but release a few painful whispers every now and then.
