Chapter 362: He's too OP!
Chapter 362: He's too OP!
Aside from Selain and the group, the whole audience was also shocked by Rio's abilities.
*W-what!? Are my eyes deceiving me!? Did I just see a human use golden thunder that is unique to only golden dragons!?*
*This is insane!! Rio Flash has beaten the genius of the Dragon Valley using her own skills! This is a major wake-up call for all young dragons in the dragon valley!!*
The battle between Rio and Selain ended too fast... No, it can't even be called a battle; it was just Rio playing around the whole time.
As promised, he gave Selain three free attacks before counterattacking.
Not a single one of Selain's attacks did any injury to Rio, and he dodged it easily.
Of course Rio would have dragged this fight for a longer time instead of finishing it in one move if he was still fighting in the tournament of supreme talents.
He would have wanted to see the entire skill set that Selain has mastered, not only to appreciate her abilities but also to give her some recognition.
But right now, he didn't have that luxury; he had to end the battle in one move, as he would have lost the bet if he didn't.
Rio easily beat the strongest talent of the younger generation in the Dragon Valley, and this will cause a huge sensation in the Dragon Valley.
All young talent will end up thinking that the human race has become too powerful and dragons have fallen behind due to being isolated from the world.
Thus, they will train harder from now on.
'Well, it's a good thing anyway; the stronger they get, the stronger the chances of them surviving in the future...'
The increase in miasma will affect everyone, even the dragon valley, so if the younger generation doesn't actively try to improve, they will not be able to survive the long battles that will happen in the dragon valley in the future.
'In the end, I ended up doing good things again, I guess...'
First Rio indirectly saved the human empire from losing Ashtel Rex and Raji Croft as he saved Link and Riya, then his indirect influence caused the appearance of another new SS ranker, Jin Walt.
Second, he saved the Elven Empire by helping that depressed prince and stopping the chaos from even starting. The friendship between humans and elves will stay strong as always now.
And now he has helped out in making the younger generation of the Dragon Valley more desperate for power.
Rio can already see that his today's actions will definitely ignite a spark of competition. Young dragons will challenge each other for duels more frequently, and the overall strength of the whole younger generation will improve.
Even Selain will get a lot of competitors, and her improvement speed will increase.
'If she gets some good rivals, she can awaken her sword intent much faster...'
Rio stretched out his hand towards Selain, who had collapsed on the ground. It seems this was the first time she has felt death so close to herself; thus, her legs gave away and she slumped down on the ground.
"Princess, I am impressed; if it were some other ordinary person, they would have already fainted when facing death for the first time, and you have a stronger willpower than I thought..."
Hearing that praise from Rio, Selain smiled dryly and grabbed his hand to stand up.
"Well, I knew you were strong, but this much... ugh, only now I understand why Lia was giving me that weird stare when I doubted her words that you can't possibly copy my golden thunder ability..."
"Ugh, I am such an idiot; I should have believed her words; after all, no one knows better about you than her... Tch, I feel like an idiot now..."
While walking towards the exit alongside her, Rio sighed and replied,
"Yeah... You should have believed her; now your golden thunder ability is mine... I will use it from now on, princess; don't blame me for the rudeness..."
"It's a strong ability, so it would be a shame not to use it in combat... Well, if one day you are able to defeat me in the future, I will acknowledge my loss and stop using the golden thunder..."
Hearing those words, Selain cheered up a bit, and a determined look appeared on her face. "Good! I will train and become strong! And then I will challenge you again in the future!" "And if I win, then you will need to take me as your concubine!"
Seeing that determined look on her face and hearing those words, Rio ended up laughing a bit after a very long time.
"hahaha, seriously... ahaha concubine!? In this day and age!? Hahaha... You seriously are an interesting person, princess; aside from Lia, you are the first to make me laugh so much..." Hearing those words, Selain crossed her arms and spoke with a proud look on her face.
"Well, I am the great princess of the dragon valley after all!"
Rio was surprised at how fast Selain adapted; just a few minutes ago, she was trembling from
the death she felt from his blade, and now she's already back to normal.
'As I thought, she is indeed talented; I wonder why she wasn't mentioned in the novel...'
...
In the audience seats.
Except for Riya, who was too busy nibbling on her candies, the rest of the three had shocked expressions on their faces at this moment.
Although Lia already expected that Rio might copy Selain's abilities, she didn't expect that he could do it to this extent.
He not only copied it; he even performed that ability better than Selain herself. Saying that Rio's an insane monster in terms of copying is not an exaggeration.
'Wait, does that mean he might be able to copy my spirit magic too in the future!?'
Aside from Lia, the ones who were the most shocked were Link and Liam.
"What the f*ck did I just see!? H-his sword intent..."
Hearing Link's bewildered voice, Liam also nodded his head, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Yeah, his sword intent has improved again... The speed of his improvement in sword intent is just too exaggerated and too fast..."
Last time the two of them fought Rio, Rio still didn't have the sword heart, and his sword intent had yet to cross the 50% mastery level.
But now, Rio has long crossed the 75% mastery level on sword intent; in other words, he's not too far away from the 'perfect' sword intent now.
The manifestation of the 'Imperfect Sword Heart' gave a huge boost to his mastery over
sword intent. Looking at that insane speed of improvement, even Link couldn't help but tremble in desperation.
'Sh*t! The moment I think I have barely caught up to him, I end up being left behind in dust
once again!'
'He's too overpowered!!'
In the end, the three of them could only shake their heads helplessly, borrow some candies from Riya to cure their depression, and leave the audience seats to head outside.
Riya was a bit confused at first, but then she patted the backs of each of them to make them cheer up. (Yeah, Riya is the emotional support of the whole team...)
"Hey, Liam, how about we spar more in the future from now on... If we want to keep up with
that guy, we will need to relay on each other..."
Hearing Link's words, Liam sighed and replied in a solemn tone,
"Yeah, let's do that when we go back to the human empire, we would need to train our
mastery over the legendary skills further, or we will be nothing but random vegetables in front of him, waiting to be chopped off..."
Link glanced at Lia and said in an envious voice,
"In that aspect, you are luckier, Lia; no matter how strong he gets, he won't leave you behind... Instead, the rest of us will be left behind if we are too weak...."
Lia shrugged her shoulders at those words and replied in a rather vague tone,
"Er... I don't think he's the type of person to just forget about his friends after becoming stronger than them... But yeah, I can understand your concern... We all need to work harder to
improve..."
Just when the three were depressed, Riya spoke with a smile on her face.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you guys, but I have also reached peak A rank recently; also, Aria
Senpai taught me a lot of unique skills this time, so my mastery over the 'Heart of Eternal Nirvana' has reached 40% now..."
Hearing those words from Riya, the eyes of the three of them twitched like crazy!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not even Rio; they were being left behind by Riya in terms of mastery over the legendary skill!
This is just too insane!
Riya, who usually stays silent and is always nibbling on candies, is improving faster than
them! And she has already reached Peak A rank too!
Liam glanced at Link and asked in a sad tone,
"Er, do you have a handkerchief... i-I kind of feel like crying right now..."
Link shook his head and replied in similarly sad tone,
"Ugh, if I had one, I would have used it myself... sigh~"

Author's Notes.

Question of the day.
What do you think could be the reason why Riya is improving so fast?
1. Candy power goes brrrr-
