Chapter 537 - Dominance
Cracks spread through the combat grounds like vines, created by the force Jason had used to catapult himself towards the Klarir.
His Celestia aura and stigma were fully utilized, increasing his strength in addition to the acceleration he received by exerting the Floating sky movement technique.
At the same time, Petri had already entered his mana core since the beginning, enhancing his physique tremendously.
Because of that, his pure physical strength increased to the standards of a common 7th Lique stage.
Within the blink of an eye, Jason emerged right in front of the Klarir, who could see Jason's eyes piercing through the small slit in his silver dragon mask.
The young man, who had just planned to increase his combat experience while gaining some pocket money, could see his entire life flash before his eyes.
Only for a moment, he noticed that it was difficult, and something made it almost impossible for him to breathe as the dragon-masked man seemed to distance himself at a rapid pace.
'No...it's not he who distanced himself...but I??' This was the last thought the young Klarir had as he was flung into the area that was a couple dozen meters away from his initial position.
Jason had simply used his flat hand to push his opponent away with every ounce of strength he could utilize.
He didn't want to kill the Klarir because they had no enmity with each other, but teaching him a lesson was a great way to demonstrate that death was always around the corner if one wasn't careful.
If Jason had used his fist to punch the Klarir, he could have accidentally damaged several organs, which was why he had used his flat hand.
Having utilized Petri's strength felt amazing, but at the same time, Jason couldn't help but lament that his vessel was still not strong enough.
It felt as if his body was tearing apart every single time he utilized Petri, however, it was necessary to adjust his body to this feeling.
He couldn't always injure himself severely while utilizing every means to defeat his opponents.
That was simply not feasible and even more dangerous than others might think.
Slowly adjusting himself to the overlapping curses and the abyssal effect of his emperor eyes had already been difficult.
Yet, slowly but steadily, it had been possible to control the lethal attack that could be used versatilely. He knew that his control was not perfect, but far from that.
Nevertheless, it was better than nothing.
Thus, Jason wanted to learn how to use his fortified soul conjunction with Petri without injuring himself.
He didn't manifest his armor or any other body part yet, but that was not necessary, to begin with.
In the end, the strongest opponent he would have to face was likely to be at the 7th Lique stage, and that was only in the 50th round.
As such, there was no need for him to worry about anything.
Rather, Jason wanted to showcase his strength in order to scare the colosseum's operators.
Without being able to fight against strong opponents, he wouldn't be able to give his best.
In return, this would mean that he couldn't work on one of the three reasons he wanted to join the colosseum.
The other two reasons were well known and in fact the bet he had made and to gain permission to enter the broken world.
While the young Klarir was taken away by a medic team that was always on stand-by, Jason was thinking about ways to improve the others' combat experience.
The affinities the God's Children had released were easy to control, and it seemed to be second nature to them.
Because of that, Jason could tell that they had utilized them quite often.
Unfortunately, that was everything they were extremely good at.
Suddenly with that thought in mind, he got an idea.
Using a faint mana thread to shoot it towards Merl, Jason used voice transmission to tell him what he wanted the others to do.
[Tell the others that they're not allowed to use any affinity. Furthermore, the mana they use is to be restricted to empower their martial art techniques and nothing else. Not even their fortified soul conjunction! If you think that's too harsh, it's fine with me too. Just go with whatever you think is the best for the God's Children!]
In the beginning, Merl didn't know who had been speaking to him but realized a moment later that it was Jason.
He had yet to learn voice transmission which was something the Ariyor race had told them to learn as soon as possible as it was extremely helpful.
It was unsurprising that Jason was proficient in using it which allowed Merl to remain calm.
The idea Jason proposed was certainly good and Merl told the God's Children what they had to do.
However, instead of fully restricting everything, Merl explained that they were allowed to use their fortified soul conjunction, if something were to happen.
Even though it was important to learn to fight while risking their life, dying was still forbidden.
The powerhouses were not allowed to intervene in the colosseum's battle, and would be punished severely, with the possibility of being beheaded if they were to do something.
As such, the God's Children had to protect themselves.
This wouldn't be much of a problem, but it was always better to be on the safe side!
Meanwhile, Jason had remained inside the combat arena, which automatically added him to the queue.
There was no need for him to rest after every battle.
Instead, his sub-area that passively absorbed mana from the surrounding was more than enough to replenish the mana he had utilized within a minute.
While Jason had forbidden the God's Children to use their fortified soul conjunction, he was continuously switching Artemis and Petri inside his mana core, testing several things.
Though Artemis' amplification was much lower due to her weaker cultivation base, she amplified both his physique and mana core!
However, by comparing the physical enhancement he received, he realised that their quality was entirely different.
Jason didn't even have to take a look at the quantity, as it was obvious that Artemis' physical enhancement would be lower than Petri's solely due to their different cultivation paths.
This was exactly what caused Jason to be so interested in the difference between his two soulbond's physical amplification.
It should be a ginormous difference, and as a matter of fact, this was the case!
Unfortunately, Petri had explained that he will have to rebuild his entire foundation as it had been constructed with mana. This was also the reason he had only constructed a single compressed drop of life force!
Petri's foundation was extremely shabby in comparison to what it should be, but Jason was already shocked about the physical enhancement he received.
This showed him how strong the path of primordial energy was, and that every cultivation path had its own perks.
In the end, this made him only more curious about the path of spiritual force! Unfortunately, he had yet to encounter someone, who had practiced in this cultivation path, and it only motivated him to leave Argos once he had completed every necessary step to ensure that mankind would stay safe for a very long time!
Jason was not sure how much time had passed, but the next few battles were quickly completed without the need to utilize much mana.
He was still in his form and as calm as before when his Emperor Eyes detected the receptionist staring at him from the elevation.
There was a holographic image in front of her, and a middle-aged man from another race seemed to be looking at her through the screen.
'Is that a Video call?' Jason wondered.
However, instead of minding that, he smiled lightly.
His face was covered by the silver dragon mask he was wearing but Jason couldn't help but feel that his aura was exposing his teasing smile.
As such, he raised his hand and showed the receptionist the peace sign which caused her to flinch.
She had been extremely careful in her attempt to take a proper look at him.
Not only had he defeated a total of 15 cultivators without any issue, but even the highly experienced warriors trained by the colosseum to forcefully end someone's streak were failing miserably.
"He is definitely not someone ordinary! Use the alpha unit to fight him. If he continues to win, switch to the Olympians in the 30th round!"
Jason was unable to understand anything the middle-aged man was saying, but from the shocked expression the receptionist showed, it had to be something interesting.
As such, he couldn't help but reveal more of his aura to show his spirit to continue fighting!
