876 Real Inner Courtyard 2 (1/2)

When he detected that he had suffered some internal injuries, Garen vaguely understood the terrifying effects of Resonance Degrees and realized that they could produce special abilities from within one's Willpower.

On the opposite side of him, it seemed as if Havana's ultimate move had ended and she had run out of Willpower. She disappeared slowly after that.

'Times up. The fight has resulted in a tie so there will be no rewards or penalties of Quest Points. Please exit the room,' the computerized voice spoke again slowly.

Without another word, Garen walked out of the room and entered a different one under the indifferent glances of other people. He entered a room with Level Five Willpower and New-Moon Level Resonance Degrees this time.

He underwent the same process and selected the same options before fighting an hour-long battle again.

A strong naked man with a dark green sun tattoo on his chest appeared this time. The records in the computer stated that his name was Conbasque.

”Barbaric Strength…” the hefty fellow swept his right hand in front of his chest before a frighteningly bloody wound appeared on the skin there suddenly. The holographic image of a black bear appeared beside him and began to circle his body before disappearing slowly.

The man then took long strides towards Garen.

Garen did not want to show any signs of weakness and decided to use his Level Five Willpower to face him head on and seize him in one go.

His opponent swung his arm over in a scratching motion as well. Both of their palms came into contact momentarily.

Roar!

The roar of the bear could be heard from the strong man's body.

Garen staggered and was forced to take more than ten steps backward when he was hit by the tremendous quake.

”What powerful strength!”

Shocked looks appeared in his eyes but he was not afraid at all. Unlike these genetically strengthened Mech Pilots who only possessed Willpower, his biggest advantage was his hidden Secret Techniques and his strong physique.

Once his Living Secret Technique and Hellfrost Peacock Technique had fused within his physique, there were two main abilities that had formed there. The first one was his terrifyingly powerful regenerative abilities; injuries that were normally considered serious among other Mech Pilots could be healed within a short period of time when they were inflicted on Garen. This was how the Peacock's body strengthened him. The next effect was intense Cold Radiation. This move was used as a trump card. However, he would always need to get rid of those who witnessed him using this move, as it would be his own fault if he was chased out of the inner region after being mistakenly identified as one of the Radioactive People.

”Again!”

Garen used the Ten Thousand True Technique secretly and shaped his hands into fists before turning his body sideways and charging over in that direction. The Ten Thousand True Technique had its own set of specialized skills that were extremely amazing and could utilize three different moves when he used it with all of his strength.

In other words, although it was impossible for practitioners of other battle skills to use different moves once they had used up all of their strength, Garen was different. When he was not using these specialized moves, the Ten Thousand True Technique was his strongest close combat skill that was also the greatest accomplishment of his martial arts.

His opponent let out a bear's roar once more before clawing at him again.

Clap!

Garen relaxed his fist and opened it into a palm suddenly, before clasping his opponent's wrist from the side and snapping it brutally.

Crack!

A crisp noise could be heard from his wrist but it was not completely broken yet.

At this moment, a terrifying, thunderous Willpower explosion occurred beside Garen's ear.

The explosion that was caused by this move would have caused the ears of any other Mech Pilot to bleed from the vibrations and become extremely dizzy. However, Garen was only dizzy for a moment before returning to his normal state at once.

His powerful regenerative abilities could be seen immediately.

”Exceptional!”

Upon realizing that he could not break his opponent's wrist with one hand, Garen outstretched his other hand at the same time and used both of them to pull downwards.

There was a clapping noise before the hefty fellow swung his other arm downwards and attempted to slap Garen's cheek. Snake-like hissing noises could be heard when his palm came crashing over. It was obvious that it was possessed by a certain creature's Willpower.

The slapping motion resembled a snake even more closely when it used its quick speed to move even faster than before.

The hefty fellow let out a fierce roar and took one step forward before the neighs of war-horses could be heard. They stomped on the ground loudly and the entire room shook for a moment. His Willpower turned into the shape of a warhorse in the blink of an eye.

As an experienced veteran, Garen was naturally unafraid of surprise attacks like these. Garen positioned his elbow horizontally and dodged the snake-shaped palm. Meanwhile, he turned his body sideways and casually dodged his opponent's colliding stance.

His basic attributes were still weak right now and he did not have many advantages as compared to these other Mech Pilots that had used genetic adjustments to strengthen themselves. The amplification of his opponent's Willpower by his Resonance Degree was alarming. Moreover, amplified Willpower would also strengthen the Energy Fields around one's body as well. Therefore, he was able to form extremely powerful and terrifying short-term combat abilities.
