Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Pace

Waves rolled around in a violent tempest. It almost felt like the dark, storming waters were trying to form the blades of a blender, rotating around Sylas with a ferocity that made his hair stand on end.

A familiar Fusion Crystal hovered in front of Sylas as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Since he was caught up in having to finish this mission in 24 hours, he thought it would be a good opportunity to actually train.

Having been caught up going place to place without rest, Sylas realized that the Fusion Crystal had just been sitting in his Madness Key for too long.

After realizing how much improvement the Rune trials had given him, it was only logical to conclude that if he left too much of his chances to improve on the table, he would stagnate as well.

However, he had kept trying to find the perfect time, when in reality... there was no such thing. He would probably never have a moment of peace until this Summoning had at least concluded. In that case, he had to make his own time.

What he didn't expect was to lift up a rock and drop it on his own foot, shattering his poor, sensitive toes.

The problem wasn't actually the training. In fact, Sylas' progress was shockingly fast, in one part due to his high Wisdom and another part due to <Madness Control> having reached Legendary Mastery thanks to Madness.

The real issue was that it was taking up a large segment of his mind, and most importantly, to benefit the most, he couldn't rely on his telekinesis to begin with. It wasn't just his telekinesis that had to be placed on the sidelines either, but also his newly minted Skills.

How could he train his martial arts if he was using flying dagger wizardry and Ice-Poison magic?

All of this left Sylas battling it out with creatures tens of times larger than himself with nothing more than his fists and the support of Basic Aetherflow. It was tough going and it took him an entire hour before he finally killed the first one at the expense of a great deal of focus.

Still...

With just one enemy defeated and in a single hour, his Dormant Comprehensions had gotten a great boost and a new Comprehension had appeared on the list: Mixed Martial Arts.

It was just like his Blade Aura Gene Talent in that it didn't have an official Grade but was instead only a dashed line. But the moment Sylas saw it, he knew that it was likely the one that he wanted the most.

His gaze sharpened as a tail grew from the small of his back. He stomped down a foot, causing ripples of water to flutter out in a manner that was almost too gentle considering the situation. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
