BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197: Teacher
" Alright, but its better be worth it. " Jayden muttered.
" NETHER WORLD "
He said and immediately a portal appeared in front of him, Jayden stood up and walked into the portal.
And then he was greeted by the familiar surroundings that were completely engulfed in purple flames, but now the flames seemed more dense than before.
Taking in a deep breath, he asks:
" Ok, can you tell now? "
" The first use of the Asura bracelets is: TEACHER, " Anna said and continued, " Just like the name suggests, it will teach you many things. "
" A teacher? " Jayden asked in puzzlement, his voice sounded a bit disappointed.
" Don't be disappointed, since it's the teaching directly from the 1st Asura God. " Anna said, sensing his disappointment.
" But I can just copy whichever skill I need, why do I need a teacher? " Jayden asked, tilting his head.
" Fighting techniques aren't the only thing you will learn, it will help you with your instincts, your battle reflex, and weapon proficiency, you will learn the right way to use your aura and many other things if you practice properly your battle prowess will definitely increase by many times. " Anna explained.
" Suddenly it doesn't seem so bad, ok tell me how do I start it? " Jayden asked, he felt excited by the prospect of being taught by the Asura God.
" Place, one bracelet over the other and chant after me: " Anna instructed then she began to chant:
" WITHIN COSMIC RHYTHMS, A BALLET UNFOLDS,
MARTIAL WHISPERS THROUGH THE ASTRAL THRESHOLD.
STANCES SCULPTED BY CELESTIAL DESIGN,
A DANCE OF POWER, IN EVERY MOVE, I SHINE. "
Jayden closes his eyes and places one bracelet over the other and then he chants the same sentences.
He felt a strong aura being released by the bracelets, then both of them glowed with an intense red light and soon the light formed a big room around Jayden. A red figure without any face, which looked as if it was made of plastic, formed in front of him.
It stood still, opting a normal pose, Jayden looked around and observed the big room. The walls seemed to be made of the same material as the figure in front of him.
" So, what now-? " Just as he asked, a few messages popped in front of him.
...
[ Task 1 ]: Dodge everything for 20 minutes to clear the first round.
( Staring in 15 seconds... )
...
Jayden reads the message and thinks out loud: " Isn't that too easy, with my Void skill, I'll able to dodge anything. "
" However, there is a catch. " Anna said, interrupting his chain of thoughts.
" And what might that be-??! "
*BANG*
Before he could finish asking questions, a small bullet like ball was formed out of the wall in front of him and within the blink of an eye, it shot towards him.
Jayden tried to activate his Void skill, but to his surprise and horror, it didn't work and he was barely able to dodge the ball, as it grazed past his shoulder leaving behind a scratch in his skin.
" The catch is, most of your skills won't work in here, so you have to use your own senses and ability to clear the tasks. Also, even your healing ability is slowed down here. " Anna explained.
" What the- "
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Jayden rotated his upper body and bent backwards, just barely managing to dodge the ball, the speed of the wall wasn't enough to kill or severely injure him but enough to injure him lightly.
Jayden managed to dodge two balls, but the third ball hit his leg, throwing him off balance. He fell on his butt, " Ughhh, what the hell, how will I be able to- " Jayden said, feeling the pain in his leg.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Before he could react, more than ten balls formed out of the walls from all around him, and then they launched towards him at an incredible speed. He was only able to dodge six of them, the rest hit him, leaving red marks all over his skin.
With each minute the speed of the balls increased, their trajectory became more and more random, making it extremely difficult for Jayden to dodge them. Just in a single minute, several red marks and scratches appeared all over his body.
But the number of balls being launched had already increased to fifty, without the Void skill, he was only able to dodge a max of eight or nine of them, with the rest leaving a mark on his body.
" Haa haa, Fucking hell, why isn't twenty minutes over yet? " Jayden shouted, as over twenty balls hit his body all at once.
By the end of ten minutes, two hundred balls were being launched at Jayden in each second from any random direction, and their speed had increased by more than two times, Jayden jumped, rotated his body, and ran all over the room but he was only managing to dodge six to seven balls.
His body was hurting all over, and he was already feeling a bit tired, but one thing that made him feel better was that the Asura bracelets were now only restricting around 50% of his total strength and speed.
After 19 minutes, in each second more than 900 balls were being thrown at him, at a speed he could barely keep a track of, with his eyes. He was only managing to dodge two to three balls in a seconds, while the rest of the balls hit his body.
As the 20th minute ended, Jayden sat back and panted heavily, his body was hurting like hell. There were bruises and scratches all over his body, even his clothes had become rags.
Jayden was thankful to whoever created it, at least the balls didn't attack his family jewels. After some minutes, he looked at the messages that had just appeared in front of him.
...
[ First Task Completed ]
[ Task 2 ]: One with the sword.
( Staring in 5 minutes... )
...
" Anna, any advice for this round? " Jayden asked, his injuries had already begun to heal and all the pain and fatigue slowly disappearing.
" This is going to be a session in which you will fight using a sword, you can choose any other weapon if you want though. And just like the previous round, you can't use your skill this time too. " Anna said.
" Damnit, why can't I use my skills, whatever. Am I really supposed to go through this hellish training daily? " He asked, slightly regretting asking Anna about the use of these bracelets.
" Yes, you have to. Since you unlocked the training mode, now you have to finish it, use this time to rest properly, next round won't be any easier. " She said and then fell silent.
" Okay, thanks Anna haaa. " Jayden said sighing and began to channel his internal energy.
