Chapter 175 - 163.3 : Trainers Phase (1/2)
'ha..'
Arthur took a large breath as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Laying in front of him is a gigantic white corpse with no face, it held two blades, one in each hand and currently, its legs were crushed to a pulp.
*Congratulations! You passed the third phase.*
*Congratulations! You finished the Trainer's Phase.*

”What? Why are the rewards like this?”
Arthur was momentarily dumbfounded as he saw such low rewards. Even the rewards he got from the Beginner's phase after the first clear were not this bad. In fact, they were extremely generous.
He tried asking again but the ARK didn't reply, so he could only sigh and try the Beginner's Phase to see if all the rewards have been nerfed or it's only this phase.
....
*Congratulations! You passed the third phase.*
....
...
Rewards: +10, +100 to all stats.
'.... Seriously? How can this be counted as a new function... it's clearly nerfing the rewards.'
Although he was angry, a formless serene aura took hold of him and suppressed the rising anger. All he could do was sigh and leave the ARK as there was nothing to do here.
Despite not getting generous rewards, he was still able to practice his new Martial Arts and get better them which is why he got a 0 on the weapon score. He only relied on his fists and kicks and managed to defeat the opponents.
However, what's surprising is the second and last phases were incredibly hard to beat. At the second phase, he had to dodge nonstop from the bombardment of whitey, who used magic skills.
As for the last boss, it was a battle of endurance which ended up with him winning with his bronze platform, which he used to flatten the boss and crush its legs.
...
Once Arthur left the ARK, he retrieved the corpse of the youth who was with Vyncent and possessed him. He didn't take his corpse at first as he wanted to see what will Vyncent to do to him but when he saw him just leave after glancing at the lifeless body, he unceremoniously took it.
In fact, he was only eager to obtain the same skill Vyncent used which allowed him to melt into the earth and travel at a speed which a person in his Realm could never achieve.
Unfortunately, except a stats addition and a few techniques which are not useful to Arthur, there was nothing that caught his attention. The technique he was waiting for didn't appear. To be fair, Using Petal Leap, he could outdo Vyncent easily but if he were to use it, his speed would probably be faster than when he's using Petal Leap.
To be more precise, Petal Leap is suited for battle. However, Vyncent's technique is for traveling or fleeing, if it's combined with lightning forth, Arthur was sure that even with a Spirit Boat, no one can catch him, at least if it's not a Unique Spirit Boat like his.
