Claire was breathing heavily, her chest heaved in and out. Beside her was a large body of a giant snake.

William looked at his sister and said, "next, fight me if you manage to hit me you win"

Claire looked up at his brother and said, "Wait, let me rest for a bit"

William looked at his sister, she was full of sweat and she's using her sword to stand up.

"Hais.." William sighed and nodded at his sister.

Then he looked at Alice and James and said, "We're sparring try to hit me, don't hold back"

Alice and James nodded at William. They both brought out their weapon. Alice was using a long sharp katana while James was using a gauntlet with a spike at it's knuckle.

William fix his posture and said to them, "come"

****

A month have passed by quickly. This month everyone of them become stronger. Many thing happened in this month.

Claire was looking at a giant green lizard in front of her. She slowly unsheathed her sword as she poured her mana in the sword in her hands.

Swooosh!!

The giant lizard was slice in to many pieces.

Claire put her sword in it's sheathe elegantly. She was clearly a lot stronger than she was in the past month. She level up from 48 to 56, she break her limits in this training many times and she could also control her mana but she was not clearly at the level of Alice and James at controlling mana.

Claire could easily kill a monster that is higher level than her. Only those level 70+ monster could give her a trouble.

James also become stronger as he was at level 28 compare to last month he was level 19. James too could do what William do as James can now coat his fist using his mana when he was fighting.

Alice too level up greatly in this month. She level up from 25 to 36. Alice have the greatest improvement in the three.

She trained hardly how to imbued her mana in her sword when fighting. Unlike James it takes her a lot of time to learned this as James was using his mana to strengthen his punch.

And Alice was training her mana so that she could imbued it into her sword, unlike James she imbued her mana in her sword which was a lot harder as the sword was not a part of her body.

William could confidently say that Alice and James was the strongest first year if excluded him.

Of course, William didn't just sit around when he was training the three. He hunt a lot of high level monster in the Flame Ape forest. He get a lot of exp and points this month.

William didn't received or triggered any quest from the system in this month as he was just hunting a monster. He didn't encounter any event that could triggered a quest from the system.

William looked at his new stats.

Name: William

Level: 51

Str: 70| Agi: 8i| Dex: 69| Vit: 91

Mana: 385| Def: 42

Stat point: 61 | Point: 3772

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

With this many points he could finally level up his Undying Body. He checked the Undying Body in the system.

Undying Body?level2? = 2000 points

Two thousand point just to upgrade it into level 2.

The Undying Body was a God rank body strengthening technique. Thousand years have passed since a god created this technique, after he created this body strengthening technique that god become unrivaled in his own era, that god was later called the Undying Emperor. If a person attained the highest level of Undying Body that person couldn't die unless you exterminate his/her whole existence. Cause the highest level of Undying Body one could even revive in a single drop of his/her blood, even if a strand of hair left that person could revive.

William didn't even hesitate to use two thousand points to level it up. In the past William didn't managed to level it up to max.

William felt something warm in his chest and it slowly scattered in his whole body. Soon, he felt a numbling sensation throughout his whole body as he started to sweat.

After a while William felt that the numbling sensation was gone. He wiped the sweat forming in his forehead. Then looked the added stats of his Undying body level 2.

Fifty stat points was added in his vitality stat and thirty stat points was added in his defense stat. He was sure that only those level 90+ mortal could damage his body. Even without using his mana to cover his body he was sure that he could take a level 80+ attack head on and escape unscathed.

He looked at how many points he needed to level up his Undying Body to level 3.

Undying Body?level3? = 5000 points

It seems that he could only level up the Undying Body after he reached the Legend rank.

He then level up the Cloud step to max. Considering the Cloud step is a low rank skill, it could only increase his speed by 10 percent even after he level it to max.

He also level up his fireball spell to max. The fireball was quite a weak spell, he could only level it up to max for it to have a damage against his future opponent.

And he level up the Burning Flame Blade to three.

William looked at the changes in his stats.

Name: William

Level: 51

Str: 70| Agi: 81| Dex: 69| Vit: 141

Mana: 385| Def: 72

Stat point: 61 | Point: 472

Skill: Fireball?levelmax?, Bronze body?level1?, Cat's speed?level5?, Cloud step?levelmax?, Burning Flame Blade?level3?, Undying Body?level2?

He still have a spare of 61 stat points. This 61 stat points could exponentially increased his battle prowess by a huge margin. But still William didn't allocated he was only using it in a emergency.

****

William looked up and saw James and Alice was sparring and his sister Claire was fighting some level 60 monster.

'My sister battle prowess was enough to reach the top rank in the tournament' William thought as he walked forward. He was sure that those people in the academy will be surprised by a huge increased in their battle prowess in this month.
