Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 93: Potential

Origin Energy Star Sea!

Alan opened his eyes and looked at the vast sea of stars in front of him. Since tomorrow was the day of the combat skill examination, he had originally planned to conduct a regular round of Origin Energy training. He didn't want his mind to settle down and enter the depths of his gene again, allowing him to see this sea of Origin Energy again.

The sea of stars continued to move according to its own rules. Firefly Stardust circled around the Origin Stars, and the nebula formed by the stars slowly stirred like an ocean vortex. Every time he saw this sea of stars, his heart would be shocked. Alan looked at this sea of stars for ten seconds before he activated his tentacles and swept towards the Origin Energy Firefly that was like a satellite belt.

At this moment, a huge aura suddenly rose in the sea of stars. An undercurrent-like vibration spread out across the galaxy. Alan traced his origin and saw a huge star in a nebula that seemed to be being pulled by an invisible force and slowly colliding with another smaller star. Superstars weren't fast, but every inch they advanced, the might of a mountain would rise by a point.

It was as if a giant star was moving through the sea, pushing hundreds of millions of tons of seawater forward with great difficulty. However, the irresistible momentum was becoming more and more obvious. Finally, the two satellite belts collided with each other, causing countless Firefly Stardust to explode, releasing dazzling flames! This was like a scene of origin power colliding between two experts, causing Ellen's heart to tremble.

Under the pressure of the giant star, the satellite belt of the small star was torn to pieces. The flames formed by the collision of Origin Energy were pushed apart by the two sides of the superstar, pulling out a pair of rising wings of flame. In the end, the superstar collided with its target, and countless cracks began to spread from the point of contact, causing the star to collapse. It collapsed so quickly that the tiny star collided with the star after a flash of light from the tiny fragments that covered the star.

The explosion formed a toroidal origin energy fluctuation, causing the surrounding stars to tremble endlessly. When the tremors stopped, the space around the superstar widened considerably. The shattered star turned into dust and was pulled into its original satellite belt by the gravity of the superstar. A superstar was like a general who had just taken down a city, while the star dust of a small star was like a defeated army. After rearranging the superstars and joining his army, the satellite belt that had been damaged by the collision not only filled the gap, it was also three points thicker than before!

Alan seemed to have comprehended something. The superstar collided with the sky, and finally the moon sank. The momentum and image of the void shattering were even more deeply imprinted in his mind. After wrapping up the seven or eight fireflies, Allen's mind and origin fireflies withdrew from the starry sea.

When the sea of stars gradually disappeared, his consciousness returned to his body like a tidal wave. Alan saw the dark universe. At the end of the void, the arch-shaped ribbons of light formed by the orange light continued to extend. It was as if the dry space would not change even after tens of millions of years. But Allen noticed that there was still a slight change from the world he had seen when he first constructed the genetic circuit.

Above the ribbon of light, there were a few dots of fluorescence that flickered like stars, giving this deserted space a tiny bit of vitality.

Time was completely meaningless in this space. Alan was like a passer-by who didn't glance at it, as if he had been staring at the universe for thousands of years. But when he regained his senses, he saw his bedroom in the castle of Ugarte, and the light of dawn outside the window. Alan stood up and could feel the origin energy in his body whistling happily in his veins. The total amount of Origin Energy had increased by 5%. He could already vaguely sense that it was not far from the time when the second circuit was constructed.

Opening the screen, the rising morning light was leaping from the horizon's heart, awakening the sleeping Babylon. Alan narrowed his eyes and looked at the dawn light that had dispersed the darkness. His heart was filled with strong fighting spirit and confidence.

No matter who the opponent was in today's combat skill examination. This battle was bound to be won!

The flying car took Ellen to Dawn Blade. After getting off the car, Ellen could feel that the academy today was somewhat different. The students who were walking quickly from the parking lot to the arch of the academy were filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement. Ellen's heart skipped a beat. A few teenagers of his age shouted, "What are you still waiting for? Quickly report to the combat training area. The assessment will be held there today. I heard that Marshal Windsor Belo has arrived. We need to hurry over and get a good seat."

The youths ran away giggling and then gave Ellen a thumbs up and said, "We look after you, Ellen! Come on!"

They were new friends that Allen had met when he was promoted to the junior division, and after defeating Vincent, Allen's friends quietly increased. Of course, there were many enemies.

When Allen arrived at the training area of the academy, he was taken to the back/stage of the arena. When the electronic clock jumped to eight o'clock, eight students entered the arena. This arena was set up in the fighting area to hold some of the academy's competitions. The audience seats on both sides of the arena were already filled by the academy's teachers and students. On the referee's bench sat Windsor Belo and Dean Andrew. Obviously, they would personally serve as referees in this match, so as to prevent any possibility of deception.

When Dean Andrew saw that the students had already entered the arena, he stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Here, I will announce some rules for today's combat skill examination." There are a total of eight people in today's exam, and they will be divided into four groups to fight. The winner will be eligible for the second round of the exam. I wish you all good luck first. For the sake of fairness, we will use hand-wagging to determine the list of battle groups. As for the martial artifacts used in the competition, all of them will use the training tools provided by the Academy. In view of Marshal's request, you are free to use your inscriptions and abilities. "

"But remember, this is a competition, not a life-and-death duel! Everyone, please grasp your limits." Andrew looked at the female marshal.

Windsor Belo nodded and said, "Let's begin."

As a result, the academy began to shake the code and group up, and the list of the battles quickly came out. Alan was divided into the fourth group, and his opponent was a student named Alex. Because it was not his turn to play, Allen was arranged to watch the match on the sidelines.

The first group was Wei Wen from the Fan Vinnie Clan and a girl named Jensen. Jensen had launched the main attack from the beginning. She had used two blades. The saber's momentum was fierce as it stuck to Webb's attack. Webb started off with a defensive stance, wandering and defending against the opponent's attack. Jensen was still a girl, and she was only at the tenth level. Very quickly, her Origin Energy and physical strength were unable to maintain her previous offensive.

Only then did Webb begin to counterattack. He gradually grasped the rhythm of the attack. In the end, he patted Jensen's shoulder with the back of his saber and won the match with great grace, winning the qualification to advance.

As he walked off the stage, he looked at Alan and smiled faintly, as if he had completely forgotten about the previous conflict. Alan also smiled, and at this time, the students from the second group began to enter the arena. Alan's line of sight was suddenly blocked by someone. It was a tall boy. He was clenching his hands so hard that Alan was so tired that he was worried that his joints would explode before he could play.

"You're Ellen?" The boy chuckled and said, "I am Alex. Meeting me can only mean that you are very unlucky."

Alan smiled and didn't say anything. He turned his head to watch the second group match. Alex's smile froze. He didn't think that Alan wouldn't even say a word about the scene, so he clearly didn't put himself in his eyes. This made his figure standing on the spot extremely awkward. He was neither standing nor walking, making people laugh like a clown. Ya Li snorted and left with a shake of his hand.

The second group ended in half an hour and was won by a boy named Pitts. The third group consisted of two girls. The two girls were evenly matched and they fought amazingly. In the meantime, the use of engraving ability added a lot to the competition, but since it was a competition, the result would always be a victory or defeat. Thus, this match, which lasted for an entire hour, ended with Nelly's victory.

Finally, it was Alan's turn to play.

Receiving the saber from the academy teacher, it was just an ordinary long saber that had yet to start, and it was still two points inferior to the training saber used by Beth Cod. Alan held the saber in his hand and casually waved a few times to test the weight of the long saber. After knowing what was going on in his heart, he stepped onto the stage.

He and Ali took the side, and Ali's eyes were filled with excitement. He wished he could immediately pounce on Alan and beat him up. Alan hung his saber and stood there with a natural expression. He just looked at his opponent calmly.

"Let the competition begin!"

By the time Dean Andrew finished speaking, Ali had already rushed over with his saber in hand.

Alan's mind flashed through the Origin Energy Star Sea, and the image of the giant star crashing into the sky, turning everything into ashes. Naturally, he raised his saber. When he looked at Ali, the surrounding grounds, people, and voices were removed from the world one by one. In the end, Ya Li was the only opponent left.

Windsor Belo was yawning. With the eyes of the female marshal, no matter how exciting the matches were, they were just as boring as a child's fight. Andrew looked into his eyes and smiled speechlessly. This was perfectly normal. With Windsor Belo's gaze, how could she put these little fellows who had just entered the Origin Energy World in her eyes?

Suddenly, the female marshal let out a "yi" sound, her wandering gaze focused on the arena of the competition. Dean Andrew was a bit slower than her and noticed that something was amiss. After the two of them, some of the keen-eyed teachers in the audience also focused their attention on Alan.

At this moment, Allen's movements were ordinary. He only raised his saber high above the top and pushed it down inch by inch. Even the engraving hadn't been activated. It looked like an ordinary slash. However, what attracted everyone's attention wasn't this movement, but the imposing aura that was triggered by this movement. The saber's speed wasn't fast, as if it weighed more than ten thousand kilograms.

Even every movement of the falling knife can be easily folded and undone, but when they are combined together. Every time the saber sank an inch, its momentum increased by a point. In the eyes of Windsor Belo and the others, what they saw was no longer a slash, but a towering mountain that was tilting and sinking!

"The little fellow actually has his own momentum? What an unexpected surprise." Windsor Belo said with a smile.
