Triopals

Chapter 34

The shield split cleanly in two the moment the Crescent Moon Slashes struck. One of them, slower than the rest, took advantage of the opening and slammed directly into Nathan's body.

A series of cracks echoed through the air as his armor spl...

Chapter 33

Based on the hunting patterns of Mist Eels, Nathan finally located the Luminous Grazer after several days of reconnaissance.

This majestic and elegant creature could be considered the most sought-after prize in the forest. At the same time, ...

Chapter 32

The posts on PsiLink made Nathan's achievements feel less impressive than before. Zeryn hadn't left Verdant Spire yet, demonstrating just how exceptional this sword prodigy truly was. The Verdant Spire's trials were diverse, adapting to each indiv...

Chapter 31

Nathan's gaze pierced the night. The surge of emotions still burned hot within him.

He had done it. In just over three weeks, he had accelerated like a racing car pushing its limits to breakthrough. There were still other formidable racers o...

Chapter 30

Darkan opened his eyes at the sound of his disciple's roar.

Looking down through the clouds, he smiled with pride. In less than a month, Nathan had already defeated his first Tier 2 monster.

What an impressive physique, h...

Chapter 29

(This chapter was a lot of fun to write. I hope you guys like it. And have a great weekend, guys. XD)

The Vermilion Ape Leader advanced, throwing a punch at him. Its movement appeared both graceful and effortless, but the power behind it was...

Chapter 28

Thunder Embrace required a week to be usable. Before that, Nathan had to wait to collect more essence water from the Thunder Crystal Frog. Fortune hadn't smiled upon him—he couldn't find another Crystal Frog anywhere.

The environment of St...

Chapter 27

The sheer number of Vermilion Apes stunned Nathan. He was certain their numbers far exceeded the few dozen he'd encountered during his Blood Moss expedition. At this rate, he might have to use those materials to deal with these manic beasts rather...

Chapter 26

(Sorry for the late update. This chapter should have been posted yesterday. I hurt my back from heavy lifting and couldn't sit for long periods. It's getting better now, and I'll try to catch up with the schedule.)

After the phase of exhilar...

Chapter 25

(I was having a great time writing this chapter. A hint of Nathan's future fighting style is shown here. Can you guess it? Comments what you think. I won't confirm anything to keep the hook. XD)

A boulder whizzed past Nathan's right side, sl...

Chapter 24

The Great Spine Wolf, provoked by Lunar Shadow's contemptuous gaze, let out furious growls. It sought higher ground on a rocky outcrop to stand at equal height, as if asserting its worth.

Nathan was torn between fleeing and staying to observ...

Chapter 23

Nathan remained on the outskirts of Storm Peaks, the darkness making it impossible to return to his campsite. He positioned himself at the edge where barren trees gradually gave way to lush vegetation. His encounter with the Lunar Shadow the previ...

Chapter 22

Dozing off in midair, Darkan had almost allowed Lunar Shadow to devour his disciple whole. Just as Nathan suspected, the monster was brought to the forest by him as a final test. Fortunately, he regained consciousness just in time to use his aura ...

Chapter 21

Nathan slumped to the ground, his body completely drained. He hadn't had time to check PsiLink's information about the types of monsters in Moirath Forest. If he had, things wouldn't have gone so badly. Initially, he'd only planned to gather mater...

Chapter 20

Darkan floated in mid-air, observing his beloved disciple. He hadn't expected Nathan to perform so well on his first day. The boy's immediate ability to cook monster meat for sustenance was beyond his predictions. Despite PsiLink's assistance, Nat...

Chapter 19

Nathan spent his remaining time preparing for the training period. When he heard it would be in Moirath Forest, he immediately used his meager savings to order essential supplies through PsiLink: a self-filling water bottle, intrusion alert barrie...

Chapter 18

Nathan struggled through an entire day after Darkan brought him back to his room. A nurse had been called to monitor him, providing water as he sweated through waves of fever. During his brief moments of lucidity, he could only make out blurry ima...

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Nathan didn't dwell on it much. He left early partly to avoid a prolonged argument with Jessica. She would have refused such a substantial gift anyway. Still, concerns about her work and life lingered in his mind.

"Don't wor...

Chapter 16

"If you keep being like this, Nate, I'm heading back," Zeryn said wearily.

Nathan had been circling around the Sect's transportation system for a while now, his eyes still wide with fascination.

"Let's go. When you come back, you can r...

Chapter 15

Nathan tumbled onto the grass, spinning before regaining his balance. Elder Darkan moved even faster than Orin, sending a wave of nausea up to his throat.

"Swallow it, boy. Or I'll shove that vomit back down your gullet."

Panicked by t...

Chapter 14:

A shimmering blue hue appeared in the distance before Nathan. He was underwater, yet his body didn't need to breathe. Moonlight filtered through the layers of water in wavy lines, illuminating his surprised face.

He knew what that blue light...

Chapter 13

Nathan no longer recognized where he stood. The world around him faded to black and white, with Xander as the sole ink-blot in the panorama. His senses narrowed and recalibrated, responding only to the opponent before him. He could even faintly se...

Chapter 12

Mana from the air rushed towards Keira, forming a visible blue vortex.

Realizing her intentions, Elder Marcus immediately spoke up with urgency.

"Keira Valaine, do you wish to forfeit?"

"No, Elder," she replied decisively.

...

Chapter 11

What the hell? Nathan silently screamed.

Could this bizarre skill really do that? Only now did he realize that the embarrassing sound was coming from him, directed at the disciples sitting on the eastern side of the arena. So u...

Chapter 10

Nathan was rushed to emergency care immediately. His consciousness was still hazy as the cheers from the stands echoed through the sterilized membrane of the infirmary. In truth, he didn't feel like he was in critical condition. His thoughts were ...

Chapter 9

Nathan regained his senses, having just been the victim of a surprise attack. He moved slowly around the arena, wary of Qingfeng. The blood on his cheek had stopped flowing, beginning to heal.

The small girl seemed carefree, mimicking her op...

Chapter 8

Roran appeared even larger up close. His muscles, bulging with every movement of his bare upper body, seemed like a bomb waiting to go off. Towering a head taller than Nathan, his presence made others feel almost insignificant.

Nathan felt a...

Chapter 7:

The bustling atmosphere gradually died down. People were no longer paying attention to the contestants as much. They drifted towards the refreshment stands or grabbed snacks during the intermission, while the organizers reset the arena. Once culti...

Chapter 6:

In just a few minutes, a significant number of participants had already been defeated and taken out, or had surrendered.

“This isn’t good,” Nathan panicked.

The scattered disciples were his hidden allies. These individuals would ...
