William looked at Van as he remembered something in his past life.

Van, one of the four Crystal emperor, the Jade Emperor Van. The four Crystal emperor were a pinnacle existence in the past, their power was unfathomable.

In the past the four crystal emperor were feared in every world. They're known in many worlds, they fought on their own against the demons.

William didn't think that one of those existence were his classmate. It seems that Van's objective is that Jade that was on his forehead. That mysterious energy that dispersed his mana back when he scanned Van was the Jade's energy.

Van was looking at his body, trying to feel his new powers. He felt an overflowing mana in his body and couldn't fully control it

"Ahhhh!! This power" Van murmured as he clenched his fist tightly. His tremendous mana was gushing out of his body, his aura was suffocating.

Van's level jumped from fifty to eighty. That's why he was not familiar with his new powers and couldn't fully control it.

When Van take the last piece of Jade crystal and formed it in his forehead, it gave him a huge boost in strength.

William poured his mana at his fingers and he crushed the purple orb in his hand.

Crack!!

*ding*

[Quest]

[Find the source of the barrier and destroy the source ?completed?]

[3 levels, 5 stat points and 1000 points gained]

He heard the familiar sound of the system when he crushed the purple orb.

*ding*

[Level up]

[Level up]

[Level up]

He heard the system notification in his mind once more, indicating that he level up.

He checked how many points currently he have.

Point: 1172

He shook his head his points was not enough to upgrade his Undying body to level 2. He looked at his other body strengthening skill, the Iron body.

He looked how many points he needed to level it up to 10.

Iron body?levelmax? = 100 points

He immediately poured 100 points upgrading the Iron body to max. He once more checked how many points he needed to upgrade his Iron body.

Iron Body?levelmax? → Bronze body?level1? 200 points

He needed 200 points to evolve his skill Iron body to Bronze body. William used 200 points and evolved his skill. A low level skill have an evolve version after you manage level it up to max. And the evolve of his Iron body is the Bronze body, Bronze body isn't the final evolution of this skill, it's still have many evolution after the Bronze body.

He then allocated 5 stat points to his defense and another 5 stat points to vitality.

William checked his new stats.

Name: William

Level: 32

Str: 51| Agi: 66| Dex: 50| Vit: 72

Mana: 290| Def: 42

Stat point: 4 | Point: 872

Skill: Fireball?level5?, Bronze body?level1?, Cat's speed?level5?, Cloud step?level5?, Burning Flame Blade?level2?, Undying Body?level1?

Iron body gives him 1 stat to vitality and defense every time it level up, while the Broze body gives him 5 stats to vitality and defense everytime he level up the skill.

"Oh?" Van looked at William when he crushed the purple orb.

"I thought you need that?" Van asked William with a hint of confusion in his voice. He heard that William wants that purple orb artifact.

"No, I just need to destroy it to break the barrier" William replied with a serious expression.

Van looked up at the sky at Williams words. He saw the dark purple sky was starting to have a crack and the magic circle was slowly disappearing. He didn't think that William would fight him just to destroy the barrier.

"Hahaha!! You're really interesting William" Van laughed loudly and said.

William didn't think that with his level he could win a fight against Van. He know that with his current level he stand no chance against Van.

William increased his defense in case Van attack once more, he needed a strong body to survive his attack.

"Well, we accomplished our goal, I guess it's time to leave" Van said while looking at the barrier.

Crack!!

The barrier crushed into tiny pieces in the sky before fading away.

He then turned his attention to William and said, "don't stay in this small city, explore the whole world William, become stronger and once again I shall fight you in the greatest stage"

After Van said that to William he disappeared.

William checked his surroundings and when he was sure that Van was gone, he breathe a sight of relief. He wasn't sure if he could take Van attack if he decided to attack.

William looked once more at where Van disappeared.

Van, the future Jade emperor that will carve out his own empire.

****

After that William went back to where Alice and James. He saw that the battle was over and he heard from president that Van came over and take away his people.

He went to the infirmary, there he found James and Alice. They were both wounded from the fight.

"Are both of you okay?" William asked James and Alice.

"Just a slight injuries" James replied to him. He know that with their opponents it's impossible fight them without taking an injury.

William noticed that Alice was staring at his wounded arms.

He waved his arms in front of her and said, "I'm okay, so don't worry about me"

"Hmm!! Who's worry about you?" Alice said as her cheeks turned red. She felt that her face was burning and immediately turned her head.

"Hahaha" James laughed at this scene only to received a glare from Alice.

****

William went to find his sister Claire. He was sure that she was worried about him.

"Brother are you okay?" Claire asked when she saw William.

"I'm okay" William smiled at his sister and patted her head.

"Mou! Brother don't treat like a child here in the academy, you'll ruin my image" Claire pouted and said.

After that he bid his farewell to Alice and James as the classes was cancel by student council.

****

He went back to his home with his sister. He was quite tired after fighting Greg and Van. After the two siblings ate their dinner with their aunt he went straight to his room and lied in his bed.
