100 Intermediate Training Ground Part 3 (1/2)

...

Shin is already on the fifth stage challenge of the Intermediate Training Ground. And he also already got all the +50 Bonus Stats on all of his Major and Minor Stats on the previous stages.

Which also made him a little confused. If he already got all the bonus stats that he needs to get, then what will he get on the next three stages?

And the answer was immediately given to him when he entered the fifth stage.

Special Stats!

He can awaken or improve a special stat on the fifth stage and above.As for the what Special Stat is it? Shin don't have to make a guess on it, when he entered the fifth stage.

Because the moment he set foot on the teleportation gate on the fourth stage, he was immediately greeted an endless darkness on the next stage.

Shin quickly activated his 'Sensing Circle' out of instincts the moment he saw that. And immediately after that, he felt a bunch of throwing knives flying towards him.

He immediately activate the 'Meteor Form' of 'Mondi's Style', and swing his swords to use his 'Parrying Stance'

.....

Cling! Clang!

Clang! Cling!

And now, Shin is on this dark place for quite some time already. And during that time, he is pushing himself to the limit as he continue to swing the [Yamato] and [Snowstorm Edge] left and right using the 'Parrying Stance'.

At the same time, he is keeping the 'Sensing Circle' during the entire time. And due to all of that, Shin's concentration is starting to detoriate despite having his monstrous willpower.

'What kind of stage challenge is this? How can I clear it if I can't even take a single step forward.' Shin's mind is starting to become fuzzy as he have this thoughts. Then his arms are starting to become heavy.

'D*mn it. Why do I still experiencing this inside the game? Am I that weak to be in this state even here?' Shin started to question his strength when he felt that he is going to lose.

Then suddenly some memories that is buried deep inside his mind started to flash in front on his eyes

...

That beautiful face that I almost forgot.That brilliant eyes that always making my day turn bright.

That stunning smile that always making me hard to breath.

That charming smile that can energize everyone.

That lonely smile that saying a bitter goodbye.

And that very smile that I failed to protect

.....

BADUM!

DUG! DUG!

'No. Not yet, I can't stop here yet.' Then Shin push himself beyond his limit as he force himself to lift his arms and swing his swords.

Cling! Cling! Cling!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

And as Shin continue to persevere, his mind is beginning to enter a tranquil state, while his body is starting to move on its own. His mind haven't thinking about it yet but his body is already doing it. It is as if his body is moving out of instincts.

If other people saw what Shin is doing, then their jaws might fall on the ground. It is because before a incoming flying knife reached Shin's attacking range, his body is already responding to counter two more incoming knives.

After few more moments, the flying knives stopped coming on his way. At the same time, he reach at the dead-end of the place. And when he stopped to moving, a series of system notifications sounded on his ears.

*Ding!*

System: Congratulations for clearing the fifth stage challenge of the Intermediate Training Ground.

System: Congratulations you scored perfectly for reaching the final point before the timer ends, and rewarding you +50 Awareness Stat.

System: Congratulations! You have awaken your 'Spirit' Special Stat, and you will receive a +50 Spirit Stat for clearing the fifth stage challenge

.....

And before Shin asked himself what is the use of Spirit Stat, another series of System Notification sounded on his ears. And it almost made his brain to stop functioning, and making his mind to turn blank.

*Ding!*

System: Congratulations! You have successfully improve you Personal Trait!

\”FOR REAL!!!??? Recreating this Talent inside the game? No, is this still a game?\” And before Shin manage to say something more, another batch of System Notifications sounded once again.

*Ding!*

System: You can either get out the Training Ground with your gains together with the Management Rights.

Or Take on the Sixth and Seventh Challenge to take some bonus rewards.

System: Warning! You are going to lose all your gains once you failed to clear either one of those two challenges

.....

\”Can you at least let me recover myself before asking me these kind of questions?\” complained Shin as he read the last batch of System Notifications.

Shin rest for quite some time to recover himself back to its peak. He can't logout the game after all, since it is the same as forfeiting the Intermediate Training Ground.
