[Instance: Trial Arena]
[Rule: Within this Instance, any damage received will not cause any actual harm to the body itself.]
[Description: This is an Instance arena used solely for trials and combat. The rules governing this place are exceptionally precious.]
Accompanied by a wave of weightlessness and dizziness,
when Caelan opened his eyes, he realized that he had already entered the interior of the Instance.
This Instance gave off a very peculiar feeling.
Unlike ordinary Instances, the inside of this one was completely another world, governed by an entirely different set of laws.
For example, at this mont, both Caelan and Jelena were standing on the surface of the water.
No matter how much force Caelan used, he simply could not sink beneath it.
On the other hand, the land nearby was covered with rocks and looked extrely solid.
Yet the mont one stepped onto it, their body would instead sink into it with ease.
"Little Caelan, you should first get used to the rules here."
"Once you’re familiar with them, then we can begin the fight."
"And one more reminder—if possible, it’s best not to fly into the air."
Caelan nodded, then used [Flashstep], rapidly appearing in different areas throughout the Instance.
Although in his eyes, this battle could be resolved with a single skill, out of respect for his aunt, he still approached it with a great deal of seriousness and caution.
As for Jelena, she had been a little dissatisfied with Caelan’s earlier confidence.
But when she saw him carefully familiarizing himself with the rules of the Instance, a faint trace of approval flashed through her eyes.
This kid might look a little arrogant, but at least in battle, he still maintained proper discipline and caution.
If he were trained well in the future, he would definitely beco a leading figure among the younger generation.
"Are you ready, little Caelan?"
Caelan took a deep breath, then slowly let it out.
Truthfully, he still had not decided whether he should just instantly defeat Jelena in one move.
If he did that right away, would it be too disrespectful to his aunt?
But in the next mont, he firmly made up his mind.
Since this was a test of his strength, then he had to go all out.
As for Auntie, she would probably understand, right?
"Auntie, then I’m making my move!"
As Caelan spoke, he slowly drew the longsword from his back.
On the other side, the corners of Jelena’s lips lifted slightly.
She was a ranged awakener, an [Eagle Eye Musket]. So at the very instant the battle began, she quickly widened the distance between herself and Caelan!
At the sa ti, as spatial light flickered, an ancient musket engraved with extrely intricate and complicated runes appeared in her hands.
"Little Caelan, be careful!"
In the next mont, her nimble fingers moved as though she were playing a graceful lody on a piano.
And with each tap of her fingers against the empty air, the ancient musket’s outer form doubled in size.
Within just a few breaths,
the musket had grown so large that it was even bigger than so of the military grenade cannons Caelan had seen before.
When Caelan saw this, he was slightly stunned.
Wait, isn’t your class supposed to be [Musket]??
Why are you pulling out a cannon on here??
No sense of martial honor at all—absolutely none!!
In the next instant, enormous shells the size of washbasins hurtled toward Caelan at a speed beyond what an ordinary person could imagine, blanketing his entire direction.
And that was not all!
Under normal circumstances, a musket would need to be reloaded after every shot.
But Jelena’s musket was clearly no ordinary design.
Just 0.5 seconds after the previous shell had been fired, the second shell was already loaded and imdiately blasted out after it!
It can even fire continuously???
Caelan had never expected that his aunt Jelena possessed such a troubleso skill.
If he were still at 2-star, relying on [Flashstep] alone would have made it very difficult for him to dodge perfectly.
And even if he did dodge, at most he could evade a few tis. Against such overwhelming shellfire, that would have been aningless.
But now?
Caelan gave a faint smile. Gripping his longsword in both hands, his entire body beca like a nimble bolt of lightning.
Each flicker of his form allowed him to evade one shell.
His movents were so smooth and natural that they gave the impression he was not deliberately dodging at all, but rely casually dancing with his sword.
At that mont,
the relatives outside who were observing the battle from the Executive eting Room all revealed expressions of utter disbelief.
"No way! Is Caelan’s movent technique really this sharp?? Those shells are so dense, and he actually dodged them all purely through footwork??"
"My god, Caelan’s movent is already so fast that I can’t even track it! Even as a 10-star awakener, I still can’t clearly see each of his movents! How on earth is this kid doing it??"
"Everyone, look carefully—Caelan isn’t just defending. He hasn’t advanced, and he hasn’t retreated either. He’s been standing in the exact sa spot from beginning to end. Do you understand what that ans?!"
"My god... what kind of terrifying monster has our Grey family produced?? Jelena is practically already using almost all of her strength, and yet this kid looks not only calm, but completely at ease!"
Inside the Executive eting Room,
these great figures who normally commanded authority were now all staring wide-eyed, wearing expressions of complete shock.
People at their level had seen countless geniuses.
And yet a genius like Caelan was sothing they were witnessing for the very first ti in their lives.
As expected of the legendary Chosen One. His strength alone was enough to prove that Caelan’s future would surely be limitless!
And through Talia’s earlier description, everyone already understood that Caelan still had not shown his full strength.
To be precise, he was rely displaying his movent technique. As for his actual skills, he had not used a single one!
Caesar picked up a docunt from the conference table, then signaled to the adjutant beside him.
The adjutant then distributed all of Caelan’s information to everyone present.
At the sa ti, Caesar’s steady voice rang out beside everyone’s ears,
"Talia, introduce Caelan’s skills to everyone."
With an excited expression, Talia walked up to the conference table.
"Honored elders, watch carefully—Caelan’s true killing move still hasn’t appeared yet!"
