866 Destiny 3 (1/2)

When Dyon felt the Presence, at first, he was a bit surprised. But, when he felt the realm of the Presence, he felt the urge to laugh. If he hadn't been in such a crappy mood, maybe he would have.

It was at this point that he finally realized that the third trial hadn't been tailoring its beast waves to his own strengths. No, the reality was that this trial was meant to place heavy pressure on one's Presence to begin with.

Dyon was certain that even with his combat prowess, it would have been impossible to defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies at once with his soul sealed, if he hadn't had his Presence. And if it wasn't for his Perception, he would have died long ago.

That was when he understood. The first trial cultivated Perception. The second trial gave you the acting role of King and introduced you to the concepts of Presence.

Usually, those who do well in the second trial spend decades there, eventually growing a Presence seedling. Then, the point of the beast waves of the third trial was to culture that Presence seedling, and then fight past the 100th wave with the gains you've made.

Unfortunately for these trials, Dyon had cultivated Presence long ago because of his father. Even while being a mortal, his own father high level Presence. Although he wasn't at the Duke or King level, the fact he had cultivated a martial art so far without any concept of cultivation was mind blowing. He then passed it on to his son. In fact, Dyon already had a high-level Viscount Presence by the time he entered Focus Academy, and it only grew with time.

In the end, Dyon entered the days of the second trial with a Peak Duke Presence. And then, because of Luna, it sky-rocketed to the Peak King Level.

So, what did this mean? It meant Dyon was currently undergoing a trial meant for those with seedling Presences, a Viscount level Presence at most. To those of the martial world, this third trial was exceedingly important because it was what separated those ultimate geniuses with King level Presences, from those with mere Peak Duke level Presences and below…

Why did all of the peak level geniuses of the martial world all just happen to have lower King level Presences? It was because the highest levels of the third trial provided this benefit…

However… Didn't Dyon already have a Peak King level Presence? Wasn't this trial too much of a joke in front of him?

Maybe the funniest part was that this arrogant young man with a lance that was currently charging at him, with full confidence in his victory… Was exhibiting a Presence of the mere Peak Viscount level… An entire four realms below Dyon…
