Chapter 113: The Hero of the Pillar

Olaf watched Ash come on the court again. Thanks to the bonus brought by the winning streak, he was matched with a stronger opponent in this game.

Longger, a famous battle maniac in the arena, ranks at least among the top 100 students in this class in terms of challenge level.

The floating platform carried a two-meter-tall muscular man with boxing gloves on his hands. He looked like a fighter.

Longger looked Ash up and down and frowned, because he had no impression of Ash at all.

He is one of those who has been in this arena the longest. He has been coming here frequently since he entered school, so he knows all the good players here.

Is this a newcomer who triggers the show of strength mode?
Longger thought that since it was the first time for the new students to participate in the competition, the bonus brought by their winning streak was extremely exaggerated. They could easily defeat others in the previous game, but be easily defeated by others in the next game.

The purpose is to let these students realize that there are always people better than you.

However, this junior student's strength is really exaggerated to be able to be used as a roadblocker.

Longger stretched his body and looked solemnly at Ash opposite him. The strongest example in the past had only more than 900 people acting as roadblocks.

This is the first time in history that someone like him is in the top 100.

Mage, no, swordsman!

Longger determined Ash's profession. Although his body shape was deceptive, his fierce temperament was not deceptive.

"Junior, what's your name?" Longger greeted.

Ash waved his hand, and the only one was held in his hand: "Ash."

"Ash." Longger lifted his heels slightly off the ground, "Junior Ash, be careful, I'm different from those people in front of you!"

"I hope so." Ash said indifferently.

Ding! The bell rang, and Longger took the lead.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Ash, and his right hand was like a claw, grabbing Ash's head fiercely.

Ash simply took a step forward and thrust the sword in his hand towards Longger's chest.

Longger immediately stepped back, dodged Ash's attack, and then used his right leg like a whip to lash at Ash's head.

Ash simply turned his wrist and deflected it, blocking the path of Longger's right leg.

Longger quickly retracted his legs and distanced himself from Ash, the solemnity in his eyes turning into solemnity.

Ash changed his moves too quickly. It was obvious that he had thought of the combo first, but Ash was the one who acted later and got there first, thus blocking his possibility of performing a combo.

No wonder he was made the roadblocker, this junior fellow student is really good at it!

Longger began to jump alternately with his left and right feet, and the speed became faster and faster.

Cry! Like an eagle's cry, Ash tilted his head slightly to avoid the incoming fist.

It was Longger who threw the punch, and it was so fast that no one could see it clearly.

You can even avoid this!
Longger's pupils shrank slightly. He couldn't even see the punch clearly. Even if his opponent was at the same level as him, he could only take it head-on.

Boo!
Longger punched again, and the sound of his punch was like an eagle's cry.

Ash dodged accurately again, and then the sword spine was like a whip, hitting Longger's stomach hard.

Longger was immediately pushed back. Without looking, he knew from the burning pain that there was definitely a bruise on his stomach.

At this time, Longger's face was full of solemnity. He felt that he could not be a roadblock for this junior today.

[Fierce Eagle Fighting Style]

A domineering aura rose from Longger's body and then pressed towards Ash.

But just like the tide hitting a reef, Longger's force was unable to shake Ash at all.

boom!
Longger leaped into the air and pounced on Ash like a bird of prey.

Ash just slid slightly to the side and avoided the attack.

Boom! Longger slammed his feet on the ground with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

This shouldn't be the case. Judging from the style of the previous two rounds, shouldn't Ash take advantage of the situation to counterattack? Why is he dodging?

Without time to think, Longger pounced on Ash again, attacking Ash with fists, kicks, elbows and every attackable part of his body.

But Ash just dodged again and again, with no intention of fighting with Longger at all.

After a while, Longger stopped panting and said, "Hey, junior, what's the meaning of you dodging here and there? Are you deliberately stalling for time?"

Unexpectedly, Ya Xiuzhen nodded.

"Hey, what good will it do you to delay?" Longger couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"For reference." Ash said slowly.

"For reference?" Longger frowned, then frowned even tighter, "You are referring to my power."

"Yeah." Ash nodded.

This is also the purpose of Ash coming here. He already has ideas about the future path, and in order to make the journey smoother, he needs various different forces.

"Why do you want to refer to the momentum of a fighter like me?" Longger retracted his momentum. If he wanted to fight, he would fight hard. He didn't want to be teased like a monkey.

"As food." Yashuping raised his sword. When he saw Longger withdraw his aura, he knew the competition was over. "You're not coming?"

"No!" Longger bared his teeth. "If you want to fight, just fight hard. What's the point of dodging here and there?"

"If you don't come, then I will."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ash had already rushed in front of Longger, thrusting his sword forward, making a sound like an eagle's cry breaking through the wind.

Boo!
Hearing the eagle's cry, Longger's eyes suddenly showed horror. This was his Eagle's Roar Fist!

Boom! Longger flew backwards and hit the barrier, and the blue light shield on his body that was used to save his life was about to fall off.

"How did you do it?" Longger struggled to get up and looked at Ash opposite him.

Ash was puzzled and then suddenly realized: "How did you do that? Oh, you mean the last move? I just learned a little bit of your power-generating method and it looks just like that."

This is more than just an appearance, Longger showed a bitter smile on his face, that is one of the most essential parts of his boxing.

"Next." Ash ignored Longger's bitterness and said to the staff beside him.

"Oh." Olaf, the staff member, nodded blankly, then came back to his senses and said, "Well, because your competitive score is too high, it will take longer to match your opponent now."

"Then call me when you find a match and give me a quiet room." Yaxiu said.

"Okay." Olaf went to open the quiet room for Ash.

In the quiet room, Ash sat cross-legged on the ground, and then a domineering aura emanated from him, which was exactly the same as the aura displayed by Longger.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Ash glanced at the [Fiery Eagle Fighting Style] after [copying] it, and closed his eyes to comprehend the momentum.

Momentum is a learning skill, which is naturally within the scope of imitation.

Disassembling, analyzing, and learning, Ash quickly turned this momentum into his own.

On the other side, Longger was a little depressed and found his friend, ready to have a drink to relieve his boredom. After all, becoming a stepping stone for others is not a pleasant thing.

Even Longger, who was used to losing, felt quite depressed about this.

After finding his good friend, Longger began to complain: "Hei Niu, let me tell you, today I met a very good junior."

The man called Black Bull is worthy of this nickname. He has bronze skin and huge muscles. It seems that he is also planning to become a fighter.

He is Longger's good friend Guduo.

When he heard that his friend's name was "Ash", he suddenly interrupted Longger and said, "Wait, you said his name is Ash?"

"Yeah." Longger nodded, then looked at his friend in confusion, "What's wrong, do you know him?"

"You can read the news yourself." Guduo opened the crystal board, clicked into the association, and then handed it to Longger.

Longger took the crystal board and began to read the information. The shock in his eyes became more and more intense. Finally, he turned to look at Guduo: "Are you sure it's this Ash?"

"It should be him, otherwise how could there be two geniuses with the same name but different people in one day?" Gu Duo took back his crystal plate, "It's not unfair that you lost to him."

"He should be one of the heroes of this era, and we mortals cannot compare to him."

"It's really sad to be born in the same era as such a genius." Longger sighed.

"Yeah." Gu Duo also sighed. They were still hovering around the challenge level of 500, but people younger than them had already crushed those at the challenge level of , bridging the gap of more than ten years or even dozens of years.

"But Pietro is going to be in trouble." Longger suddenly gloated, "After all, that fellow student also has to participate in the Philosopher's Stone Refining Ceremony."

Pietro was a person with whom he and Guduo had a very bad relationship. Thinking that his opponent would suffer the same defeat as himself, or even a more serious defeat, Longger suddenly felt happy.

"That's right." Gu Duo also thought of this, and his face suddenly became happy, "Let's go, drink!"

"drink!"

The two of them immediately walked towards the tavern arm in arm.

At night, when Ash returned home, he felt that Riki's eyes were always on him.

"Why are you looking at me? Do you want to be my man?" Ash said as he sat on the sofa, playing with his darts. "Have I never been your man?" Rikki laughed. "I'm just a little curious, how strong are you, Boss Ash?"

Ash glanced at his personal level of 45 and said, "I am invincible below a Challenge Level of 450. Below 500, I am 550% to 600%, to %, below , % to %, and below , I will trade my limit at one for one."

Rikki's throat twitched. Level 600, this is the strength that only senior teachers have. Has Ash reached it now?
And judging from the tone, this seems to be just a normal competition of strength. If it really comes to a life-and-death fight, it is estimated that the opponent will definitely die. After all, a level 600 opponent can exchange one for one, and a level opponent can definitely be killed by paying a price.

"Boss Ash, are you a hero?" Ruiji's tone was curious and affirmative. After all, at this age, it seemed that only heroes could possess such exaggerated strength.

Ash looked at his achievements column. The [Brave] achievement was quite eye-catching. "It seems so."

But to be honest, it seems that I am not. After all, my Homo sapiens bloodline has been completely devoured by [Heavenly Yinglong].

The brave one is a monstrous being that can only be born among the Homo sapiens race. He is born with unique skills and extremely high talent, which is equivalent to a half-step gem species.

The birth of this monster is related to the bloodline of Homo sapiens, whose ancestors were the "humans" closest to the concept of Titans.

But in the Golden Age, he and the Dragon King, who existed at the same level, died together in the struggle for the throne of the world. Before their death, both of them cursed each other.

The dragon cursed the Titan's bloodline to become increasingly mediocre, and the Titan cursed the dragon's bloodline to be greedy, lazy, lustful, arrogant, etc.

The curses on both sides did not change until the Silver Age.

Since the first angel and demon were born from the gathering places of the world's positive and negative consciousness - heaven and abyss, these two races quickly became the overlords of the new era, and the Silver Age arrived.

The concepts of dragons and Titans were weakened, the curse began to weaken, and heroes began to appear among their descendants.

At the end of the Silver Age, the Third War between Angels and Demons ended with heavy losses on both sides, and more learning-capable races such as elves, dwarves, and Homo sapiens began to rise.

The concepts of dragons and Titans were weakened again, and demon kings and heroes who seemed to be atavistic began to appear, and the Bronze Age began.

In the Bronze Age, the world entered a new stage. The throne of gods began to consolidate, and the false gods known as legends at the time started a war of gods until the pattern of five righteous gods and five evil gods was formed, and the world officially entered the Iron Age.

"What's your name?" Rikki asked curiously.

"Name?" Ash scratched his chin with his fingers, a little uncertain, "Dragon Warrior?"

The unique skill obtained by the [Hero] achievement is [Climb the Dragon Pillar]. It always feels weird to call it the Pillar Hero or the Stick Hero, but the dragon is quite suitable.

"Are you sure?" Rikki's eyes became strange. A brave man can be a dragon slayer and a dragon rider, but he can never be called a dragon.

"That's right. It's impossible to call him the Pillar Hero?" Ash was about to shrug, but his body suddenly froze because a message popped up in front of him.

{Activate achievement · [Hero of the Pillar]: Go to the Titan Temple and carve the title of the Hero of the Pillar. Reward: Strengthen the unique skill · [Climb the Dragon Pillar]}
Afraid that Ash might not be willing to do it this time, [Great Deed] specially marked the reward in advance.

Ash gritted his teeth and uttered a word: "Shit!"

Looking at Ash with a gloomy face, Ruiji asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any problem with calling him the Pillar Hero?"

"No problem." Ash gave Rikki a bright smile. "I just thought of something happier. Well, something very happy."

Although Ash smiled brightly, Rikki felt a little creepy for some reason and unconsciously distanced herself from him.

After letting Rikki finish her meal, Ash drove her away with a gloomy look on his face. If it weren't for her, he would not have activated this confusing achievement.

In the dream world, Yaxiu was flying the Courageous, but suddenly he stopped because he found a dream beast with rather strange behavior.

Controlling the Courage to stop in front of the dream beast, Ash asked, "From the 100th Chamber of Commerce?"

"No." The dream beast that looked like a snail and carried a snail shell on its back stopped and spoke.

It's actually strange that it can speak the common language. Ash raised an eyebrow. It was the first time he met a dream beast that could speak.

As if knowing what Ash was thinking, the snail shook his eyes and said, "I am also from the real world, but I am a monster."

Monster! Ash narrowed his eyes and did not take any action because his [intuition] reminded him that it would be best not to attack this snail.

"Want to make a deal?" Ash asked, "I see you have a bag with you, so you should have collected some things."

"Trade? Not impossible." The snail thought for a moment and nodded his eyes. "But I don't want the dream stone. I want the knowledge of your Homo sapiens."

"What knowledge?" Ash asked.

"Magic knowledge." The snail said, "Any elemental magic knowledge will do."

Ash said, "Okay, let me see what you have first?"

Packages placed on the snail shell automatically open to reveal treasures in various forms.

Ash appeared and selected what he wanted, then said, "What do you want from these?"

"Well, one six-ring perfect quality spell or three six-ring excellent spells." Snail thought for a moment and quoted the price.

"Okay." Ash nodded, took out a dream stone, and then forcibly engraved three spells selected from the Quetzalcoatl heritage into it, and finally threw it to the snail, "Use it quickly, otherwise it will fall apart. After all, dream stones are not very suitable for engraving inheritance."

Snail caught the dream stone thrown by Ash: "Thank you, you are better than your fellow tribesmen. When they met me, they came straight to kill me, even though I didn't go out of my way to kill your people."

"Actually, I really want to kill you." Ash shrugged. "If this wasn't a dream world, I might have done it just now."

"Why do all of you Homo sapiens want to kill me?" The snail said angrily, "I clearly didn't offend any of you, but I killed those who wanted to kill me."

"Because it's a crime to possess a treasure, Wandering Snail." Ash revealed the identity of the snail. When he was engraving the spell inheritance just now, he found the race of this snail by the way.

"The Flowing Heart Snail is a silver species that is good at using mind magic. Eating its meat can greatly increase your soul power. Drinking its blood can improve your understanding. Grinding its shell into powder can increase your lifespan. Its eyes can be made into orbs that can control people's minds."

"To put it bluntly, your value is too high, and your combat power is too weak." Ash looked the snail up and down, "It's like if you saw a bunch of aphids that you love to eat walking in front of you, you would definitely eat them without hesitation."

Liuxin Snail was silent for a moment: "I see, I understand. Thanks for reminding me. Does that mean that if my fighting power is high, you won't come to kill me?"

"Normally, yes." Ash nodded. After all, who would deliberately do something with high risk and low return? "But I suggest you disguise yourself. If you dress more fiercely, the number of people who want to kill you will be greatly reduced."

Will the runny snail move its eyes and become more ferocious?

"Goodbye then." Ash merged into the Daring and left.

"Goodbye."

In reality, somewhere in a large forest, a snail shell as white as jade and one meter in diameter moved, and then pink flesh stretched out from it.

Become a little more vicious?

The Liuxin Snail looked in a certain direction and remembered that there were some ugly creatures over there.

Soon, the sound of eating was heard in the ghost camp.

A water mirror emerged, reflecting a strange creature with two horns on its head but only one eye, its skin was dark red, and its shell had turned scarlet.

It has indeed become ugly.

The Liuxin snail felt a little uncomfortable with its new body, then crawled away.

It needs to eat more, as there must be more ferocious creatures over there.

Returning from the dream world to the dream world, Ash handed Maria a fruit and a bottle of space-time dream crumbs: "Eat it when you have time."

Maria took a look and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. This fruit is the Hundred Dream Fruit, a dream treasure that can temporarily and greatly enhance one's understanding.

"No, you should use it yourself." Maria pushed back, "Giving it to you will maximize the effect."

"Don't shirk it, I still have some." Ash held Maria's hand, "And if you use it, pushing the power to the mind will have a greater effect on me."

The easiest thing to get stuck in among the decathlons is teacher achievement. The others can be achieved by just spending time, but teaching students cannot. It depends on the students' understanding. Those who are not smart may not get it for more than ten years.

"Is it related to your unique skills?" Maria asked. Having stayed with Ash for so long, she had more or less understood Ash's unique skills.

"Yeah." Ash nodded.

"Okay then, I'll make an attack when I have time." Maria accepted the Dream Fruit and Dream Crumbs.

Two days later, Saint Laurent College officially carried out the punishment on student Moss and law enforcement teacher Otto.

The punishment for Ash was slightly changed because Ash was a transfer student and deducting credits would have no deterrent effect at all, so he was fined one thousand points.

hateful!

A carriage drove out of the academy. Morse sat in the carriage with a gloomy face. He never expected that Ash would be so tough and crazy!
Clearly according to the information, he was just a transfer student, a first-year student, but his terrifying strength was even beyond that of the law enforcement teachers.

Thinking of the woman he loved seeking pleasure from someone else, jealousy and anger gnawed at his heart like insects, causing him to ache.

Moreover, after this incident, his status in the family must have plummeted, and there was no chance of him inheriting the position of head of the family.

Thinking of this, Moss's hatred for Ash deepened.

The overly strong and distorted emotions attracted a certain person's attention, and he looked away.

Then Moss heard countless whispers ringing in his ears, and twisted and dark knowledge gathered in his mind.

The Leather Suit Reincarnation Ceremony is a ceremony that can turn a person into a leather suit. As long as you put on the leather suit made through the ceremony, you can obtain the memories of the leather suit's owner before his death.

After Moss sorted out the knowledge, his eyes were full of madness. Great, with this ritual, he would have the opportunity to make Rikki his real property. Even if it was Ash, he might be able to take revenge!
"boom!"

As the sound fell, a light bullet was shot out instantly at the speed of light.

Bang! In the carriage, Morse fell down and his entire head disappeared.

On the top of a mountain, Ash put down his hands, with a sarcastic smile on his face. Sorry, he didn't have the habit of letting the enemy run away and then come to trouble him.
