Chapter 187 - Precarious Situation
Chapter 187 - Precarious Situation
To every talents in the Institute, there is some type of limit to how much their blood revolutions will grow. Although it is not absolute, it becomes very hard to increase the blood circulation once this limits was reached.
A Spryher with a one star talent has a blood revolution limit of 120 – 130 CPM. A two star talent has a blood revolution limit of 140 – 150 CPM.
A three star talent has a blood revolution limit of 170-180 CPM. While a four star talent could be said to have a blood revolution limit of 220 – 230 CPM.
And last but not the least, a five star talent has a blood revolution limit of 280-290 CPM.
This was a thesis some professor had come up with after studying the advancement of several students. And since it was 50 percent correct, the people all over the world agreed to let it be.
But the thesis was not absolute. There are several conditions required during the training of a Spryher. And this conditions could actually lead to them surpassing their limits or remain stuck there.
David frowned deeply upon seeing this. But then his eye flashed. He wasn't really a three star talent and although he had taken things lightly in the beginning, he wasn't the same man as he was before.
He knew the moment he emerged from the Cryogenic Pod, he didn't feel any pain or the Myalgia stated by that professor called Mu Chen.
Which means he is either a five star talent or even higher than.
Excitement flashed in his eyes upon his thoughts. He was truly a genius. Together with his ability, there was nothing stopping him from reaching the limit of being a Spryher. The thoughts of reaching a blood cycle of 1000 CPM... Made him shiver in excitement.
But also in fear, he just have to keep it hidden as exposing too much of his ability may be detrimental to him. And also, concerning his Red Grade combat technique, he wasn't sure if others had recognised it as he had used it to confront Lu Feng the other time.
But then, it was only one person, so he hoped there wouldn't be a problem as long as he killed whoever saw him using it.
His excitement was instantly replaced with killing intent.
"Lu Feng and Janeane, just don't let me see you during this competition..." David muttered.

"WHO DARES KILL MY DISCIPLE!!!" A very loud and angry voice sounded out throughout half of the entire map.
The trees instantly swayed as though some wind had passed through them. And several students who were at that location couldn't help but cry out loud in pain as their eardrums threatened to burst out. They immediately covered their ears with their hands while they circulated their blood to resist the sound wave. It was just too strong.
David's deep sleep was forcefully interrupted. His eyes turned serious as he felt the power behind the voice. Because he was far away from the source, he didn't bear the brunt of the attack but he could still feel it.
Several student's came out from their hiding spot as they looked to the skies, where the voice had being coming from.
"What the hell is happening!" someone who had just recovered from the shock whispered as they had just recovered from the sound waves.
Nobody got to answer them before another voice shouted in the skies.
"Mr Phalax! Have you gone mad! How dare you attack the students of Thembreia Institute!" a middle aged man instantly erupted in fury as he also took for the skies using his Sky walker.
The middle aged man had a blonde hair, and an handsome face which is currently twisted in anger. He couldn't believe someone from another institution would dare to trespass on their training ground. What puzzled him the most was how the person even found out about the whereabouts of the training ground.
Phalax's beard trembled in anger and his old wrinkly face twisted into an ugly expression. He couldn't help but laugh out loud due to extreme anger.
"Don't think I didn't make my enquiries before coming here, you think only you can hold me back?" the old man snorted and then opened up his interface. Suddenly, he turned his eyes towards a certain direction and instantly flew towards there without waiting for a reply.
Garen was instantly angered and he shouted "So you take me as air?" instantly, the sky walker beneath his feet erupted and he charged towards the old man to block his way.
Suddenly, three figures cloaked in black clothing covering their faces and figures instantly emerged from the shadows, blocking Garen's attempt to style the old man.
"Mr Garen, you shouldn't be in a hurry to leave." One of the figure said lightly, and from the tone, it seem to be a woman.
Mr Garen's expression instantly darkened. He was just a simple inspector with decent combat strength. There was no way he could deal with three Phasers. Even if he is stronger than them, dealing with three of them at once would prove to be quite troublesome and would delay him by several minutes.
Even if the three figures didn't block his way, he had only a 40% chance at dealing with the old man. The better option for him to do is to stand still and lest things unfold.
Mr Phalax although just a normal professor from the Sealing Wave Institute, his strength wasn't something he could deal with.
But the Thembreia Institute wouldn't have that much influence within Skultron City or throughout the without strength to protect itself or its students.
"I don't know who the three of you are but it's best you guys stay out of this." Mr Garen warned in a low and threatening voice.
This made the three figure paused as though they were scared of something. But the figure in the middle seem to shake it off "We aren't here to cause any trouble. As long as we stall you for a minute or two, our mission would be considered done." The voice appeared to be that of a male. They had being hired to delay the inspector, in order for the old professor to capture the culprit of his disciples's killer before the reinforcements from the institute reaches there.
Suddenly, Mr Garen smiled coldly but remained silent. He floated in mid-air and he crossed his hands as though he was about to watch a great show. The institute obviously wouldn't be stupid enough to place the safety of their student on a single Phaser. That was just what they wished to show on the surface.
Who knows what Was hidden beneath the shadows.
David exited the cave with a frown and he looked up at the sky but the huge trees blocked his line of sight.
As he was about to jump to the top of a tree to see the situation quite well, his spine suddenly tingled and all his hair stood up on end.
An overwhelming terror washed over him which made David trembled all over. He couldn't even move his body.
'F*ck! What kind of brainwave is that!?' David cursed in his mind. The wave seem to supress his very motion and seem to have a paralysing effect. Blood dropped out from his lips as he bit them hard. This seem to have brought him out of the illusion.
Sweat dripped out profusely from his body. Looking into the sky above him, he saw a shadow diving towards his direction.
"It was you who killed my disciple!" an old but loud angry voice of an old man resounded which contained a heavy thick killing intent.
David's expression changed drastically and without holding anything back.
"Boom!"
His foot instantly stomped the ground, creating a five meter crater. Disintegrating the hard rocks and sand below his feet.
His figure was as though a cannonball had been shot. He immediately flew backwards with immense speed, surpassing the limits even he never imagined but this wasn't the time to observe himself. He was currently in an extremely precarious situation.
"Eh!?" The old man was a bit stunned but then he laughed furiously.
"It was indeed you!" With the strength David just executed, it was at the level where he could kill his disciple and moreover, that was the face his disciple saw last and transmitted to his interface before he died. The old man's killing intent deepened further. That means the youngster is at least a five star genius.
Such a genius at such a young age, coming from another institute which isn't their own, needed to be eliminated without hesitation. The old man's thoughts spin rapidly.
At first, he was a bit worried about the consequences and repercussions of capturing a student of another institute as his own institution would never let him go. But once they figure out it was a genius, his punishment would surely reduce by several folds.
He had wanted to capture the person that had kill his student but now that he knew how talented the person was, he didn't hesitate to go in for the kill .
His gaze deepened as he shouted. "Die!"
