Chapter 198: A battle between young girls!
“Impossible!”
“Chris only has an ordinary human bloodline. She couldn’t progress so fast even if she never rests and trains nonstop for twenty hours a day. Three open arcane gates is her limit, it’s impossible for her to have four open gates!”
In team Silver Trout, Nolan and Sarina suddenly froze.
The speed of progress was of course limited, depending your bloodline.
Even for pure dragon bloodlines, opening four arcane gates three years after Awakening was already the limit. In the history of legendary geniuses on Doraster, four open gates in three years were still the limit even for monsters who went through continuous battles the moment they were born.
As to ordinary human bloodlines, even exercising every single day with a training regimen of the highest caliber, three gates in three years was already a speed that was impossible to exceed.
But now, the power of Chris’ “Giant Fireball” was definitely not something a three-gate arcane master could match.
“Could she have?”
Nolan suddenly thought of a possibility and quietly exhaled, a little absent-minded in spite of himself. “Impossible!”
“What?”
Sarina turned to look at Nolan.
Johan was definitely out of the fight already after suffering Chris’ attack. She was the one going out next. If she couldn’t pierce the secret of Chris’ arcane skill, if she were to lose at Chris’ hands as well, then there would truly be little hope left for Silver Trout Academy.
“The Evil Dragon followers’ Burden Overload!”
Nolan did his utmost to recover his calm and quickly said, “Burden Overload, something only the liches among the Evil Dragon followers can master and operate!”
“Impossible! How can she use Burden Overload! Only liches can do it!” Sarina exclaimed in disbelief all of a sudden.
“Burden Overload!” In the stands, the “Pervert Doctor” Songat almost bit his own tongue in surprise. “This is definitely the Evil Dragon followers’ Burden Overload. Liszt, what’s going on, why’s a student of your academy using a skill like that?”
Liszt smiled faintly beside him, not showing any surprise whatsoever. “We fought the Evil Dragon followers for so many years, it’s not impossible to obtain a skill of theirs, is it?”
“I don’t give a damn about how you obtained the secret of this skill!” Songat shouted, a little urgent. “The important thing is, a method forcibly raising your spiritual strength and compressing your arcane skill like that is almost impossible to bear without a something like a lich body fused with the power of a dracolich!”
“That’s why… among all those young people, she’s the only one who can use this skill.” Liszt’ smile was a little proud. He quietly said, his voice slow, “Because her physique… is every day in a state of overload. She only has an ordinary human bloodline, so she can’t open her arcane gates as fast as geniuses with dragon bloodlines, like Rinsyi or Morgan. But even so, she overloads herself with training every single day. The ability of the tiny particles inside her body to endure fatigue, to endure burden, is far above anyone else.”
“Even with dragon bloodline, another three-gate arcane master, probably wouldn’t last even one minute with this ‘Burden Overload’. Their physical functions would suffer failure very quickly because of the excessive fatigue, and they would have to stop fighting. But her… her body can still persevere for half an hour even under utter exhaustion, or maybe even more. That’s why, after so many years of constant overloaded training… This arcane skill is the most terrifying thing about her, rather than Dark Destruction Dragon she can only use once right now.”
“She can endure overloaded training every single day… Has it been like that every single day for these past three years?” Songat was totally dazed.
If it were only one day or two, then maybe someone else could have endured a short-time training overload, the kind where even lifting a finger would require amazing willpower, where even lifting your head would make the muscles twitch all over your body. But to train like this every single day for several years, to sharpen the body so it can bear every more burden… How many people could that on the entire continent?
“Liszt!”
Songat took a deep breath and suddenly shouted with incomparable gravity.
“Hm? What?” Liszt looked at him, a little confused.
“Introduce us!” Songat said with incomparable solemness. Then he immediately wore a perverted drooling look. “She’s really amazing, and the girl looks so cute and beautiful. Introduce us, let me hang out with her, how about it?”
“Go die already…” Liszt rolled his eyes.
“Burden Overload! Chris can actually endure the side-effects of this arcane skill!”
“Burden Overload, that’s a secret skill only the liches among the Evil Dragon followers can use. It can forcibly enhance your own spiritual power and arcane particles. When she uses an arcane skill, Chris’ power’s is really at around the same level as a four-gate arcane master. But to circulate a power stronger than that of your own body, it’ll make it bear a burden exceeding its limits. It’s extremely exhausting and hard to endure… How can she bear with it!”
“It turns out Chris’ real trump card wasn’t Dark Destruction Dragon, but Burden Overload!”
“…”
More and more people in the stands finally realized what secret skill Chris had used after Johan couldn’t stand up anymore from taking Chris’ one hit, and after Kleis declared the end of the fight,
