<h4>Chapter 333 Chapter 333</h4>
"So... this is the Unsullied Body? This physique is indeed miraculous!" Rezen eximed in admiration as he exhaled a warm breath while sensing his body
From Ivy''s database, he learned that the authentic treasure of heaven and earth that he consumed gave birth to a miraculous physique which was called the Unsullied Body
The Unsullied Body makes Rezen invulnerable to any form of poison. Even poison that can easily kill lifeforms at the peak of the Junior Rank is not enough to kill him. It also gave him the ability to detect even the most subtle poison
However, the physique''s miracle doesn''t end there. Poison is a very broad term and many things could be considered as poison
Even pure energy will be poison if the consumer is not able to withstand the amount and quality of the said energy. This is precisely what Rezen discovered and is also the thing that greatly surprised him
In the past, he could only consume spirit nts at his level. Of course, there were also times that he consumed spirit nts that were one cycle higher than him. However, those are rare times and even if he can heal from the damage caused by such action using other spirit nts, it is not advisable to do it regrly as there might be irrevocable consequences
However, with his Unsullied Body, even when Rezen consumed spirit nt at the 6th cycle which was two cycles higher than him, it was still far from enough to harm his body and foundation. At most, it just takes a bit more time to consume the spirit ntpared to when he consumed resources at his level
Too much energy and tonics are also considered poison. As such, Rezen''s Unsullied Body worked and enabled him to consume spirit nts two cycles higher than him with ease. He even vaguely sensed that he could also consume resources at the peak of the Junior Rank without much consequence
With his new innate physique, the speed at which his strength grows will be faster. He can now consume Supple Grapes at a higher level. While quantity can make up for quality, quality is still the best!
The Sup Grapes he consumed in the past definitely cannot bepared to the Sup Grapes in the 9th cycle. Increasing his talent will definitely be way easier than before
"Thanks to the acquisition of my Unsullied Body, my current realm also stabilizes. I can now start to cultivate to the next cycle. Of course, my magical knowledge should also not becking to achieve a perfect breakthrough" Rezen muttered but he didn''t immediately start cultivating
The few days off that the academy gave to the students are over and their sses start again. Rezen naturally wouldn''t miss any of the sses as they are beneficial to his progress
"After I settle in this new semester, I should take the time to further explore my new physique. Who knows, it might have other functions that I am not yet aware of"
——-
Today is the start of the new semester at the Tryst Academy. Of course, it''s not really such a big deal. Every three months, a new semester will start. Only when a new academic year started would it be a bigger deal
Still, this new semester is very special to Rezen''s batch. They are now second semester students which means that they can now ept academy-issued missions to earn contribution points. These points are very precious as it was precisely these points that they needed to have to purchase or exchange for various cultivation resources ranging from spirit nts, pills, weapons, knowledge, and many more!
As such, the people in Rezen''s ss cannot help but be excited as they gathered now inside their ssroom but one of the academy''s gyms
The one who greeted them inside was the Instructor who handled their batch. It was none other than Mage Yero Feather!
"Good job everyone for reaching this point. You can now be considered as real students of the Tryst Academy. You will have ess to more resources as you are now eligible to ept academy missions"
"And to help you, the academy decided to hold a smallpetition for all of you. Since you are being nurtured as mages excelling at battles so that you can help humanity fight against magic beasts, thispetition is very straightforward! It is a battle of strength!"
As Mage Yero said that, there were around 50 ques that suddenly appeared and floated in the air. They are numbered from 1 to 50
"I have here these ques and the mechanics is simple. You can choose any number from these ques and naturally, the que with the number 1 is the best. The student who can secure the number 1 will receive 50 merit points. The number 2 will receive 10 merit points. The number 3 will receive 5 merit points. The top 4 to 10 will receive 3 merit points. The top 11 to 20 will receive 1 merit point. The top 21-30 will receive 0.70 merit points. The top 31-40 will receive 0.50 merit points, and for the rest, they will receive 0.30 merit points. It''s that simple"
Toward the end, everyone can hear Mage Feather''s yful chuckle and they naturally know the reason for that
There was such arge difference between the first ce and the ones below it! Even the difference between the first and second ce was already extremely huge, what more for the lower rankings?
This is simply forcing everyone to fight with all they have so they can secure the first ce
However, while everyone has a fair chance to secure the first ce, the students were merely looking at four students
They are none other than the four most talented students in their ss which are; Porenz, Quard, Rezen, and Theon
Among the four, the most consistent was Porenz and Quard was just slightly inferiorpared to her. As for Rezen, he was originally viewed as the most powerful but because of the various restrictions in the first semester, he fell behind, and only in thetter part of the semester did he start to catch up. As for Theon, although he was also far more talented than the rest of the ss, he is viewed as slightly inferior to the other three
These three are not only the most talented of the batch. They are also the strongest. As such, if there are people that has the potential to secure the first ce, it would definitely be from the three of them
After all, whether it be in terms of talent or the current realm, the three of them are the highest!
"The academy is generous this time. 50 merit points is equivalent to killing 250 contaminated spiders at the 4th cycle" Rezen thought while licking his lips
The merit points for the 1st ce are actually equivalent to killing 250 contaminated spiders in the 4th cycle! For Junior Mages at the high rank, it might not be that much of a challenge to kill such arge number of contaminated spiders but to second-semester students of the Tryst Academy, not only would it take time, but many of them are also not able to aplish that even if they are given a lot of time
It wasn''t just a matter of being time consuming but also of fighting prowess. After all, aside from Rezen, Porenz, Quard, and Theon, which of them reached the 4th cycle?
Of course, there are actually other students that reached that rank but they are either Spirit or Body Mages. These mages even if they are one or two cycle higher than those four might not necessarily win against them
Deviant Mages are far stronger than Spirit and Body Mages and the difference will be evenrger the higher the rank is!
As such, these 4th or even 5th cycle Spirit and Body Mages might not necessarily have the power to defeat a 4th cycle contaminated spider much less such arge number of them
"You are free to take any que. You just have to secure them until the end of the ss" Mage Feather said with a smirk and although everyone wanted to take the number 1 que for themselves, even Quard and the others hesitated
If they try to secure that que this early on, the other students will definitely attack them. They might be able to defeat a few or several of them but if everyone decided to join hands, they wouldn''t be able to secure the que until the end of the ss which will take two hours
However, one person among them was actually arrogant enough to im the number 1 que and it was none other than Rezen!
Using his mental power, Rezen controlled the que and it flew toward his hand, causing all the other students to look at him
Even their Instructor was surprised to see that he was actually arrogant enough to do such a thing
