Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

From the sudden ice that surrounded the prince’s opponent’s body, it was clear that the prince was an Ice Essence user. His Essence Soul was probably that of ice as well.

Since conduits were hard to control to create around a person, rather than just on them, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that he did in fact have an Ice core.

As for some that were quite keen on what they were looking for, they were aware of another thing that nearly everyone else had missed because of how easy it was to miss it.

The Prince was in the High Essence Soul realm.

The Essence Soul realms were divided into 3 realms, Low Essence Soul, High Essence Soul, and True Essence Soul. 

It was said that until you were in the True Essence Soul realm, you hadn’t truly reached the Essence Soul realm yet.

There wasn’t much merit to why it was said, but people believed that it was because it was the realm where one could start to combine their body and soul to use it effortlessly, adding one strength to the other.

That was what made it possible for people to go into the fabled Stellar Harmony realm. No one truly knew if this realm was even a possibility or not in humans, but there have been many records of beasts in the wild reaching this realm, mostly in the ocean.

After all, it was only after this realm did one reach the realm of legends that only a few beasts could ever reach.

The Divine Realm.

After his victory was announced, Prince Allen returned to the hall where the others waited for him. They started speaking words of congratulations as soon as he entered and the prince simply waved his hands, telling them he didn’t need any of that.

The announcement of the event today ending was made.

There had been 95 separate combats today, 83 if the 12 missing from Blackhawk Academy were to be ignored. If the same amount was to be fought tomorrow as well, they would easily finish the Top 64 and even finish the Top 32.

If they dared to squeeze in the time, they could even finish Top 16, but everyone doubted they would do that.

Keeping 32 matches for the final day seemed like the right choice to everyone.

They left the hall, walking outside to meet up with the Headmaster and others.

“You all have no idea how proud you’ve made me,” the old man said. “I would have been fine knowing that half of you dropped out of the competitions, but seeing that you all went through the first round, and 3 even already passed the 2nd round, I can only say that you have all done everything beyond my expectations.”

The 8 students smiled, with Ning and a few others thanking the headmaster for his kind words.

They knew why the headmaster was so happy. The difference in points between the people that lost in the first round and those that were in the second round was huge.

To make it important to pass each round, the points were set up in a way that the better you did, the more points you got.

Meaning, in the first round, the 72 that failed all got simply 10 points each.

In the second round, of the 128 participating, each one that failed got 30 points. In the top 64, they would all get 60 points. In the top 32, it would jump to 100 points, then 150 for the top 16, and finally 200 for the top 8. 

For the top 4, it was slightly different. The one that came 4th overall would get 250 points. 

The one that came 3rd would get 300. 

The one that came 2nd would get 350.

And finally, the one that came first against all odds, would get 400 points.

That sort of point was enough to even make the school that was at the bottom of the rankings currently shoot up to the first if all things went right. That was why this 3-day long Combat Competition was considered equally as important as everything that had come before them.

The group started walking out of the arena and made their way back to the Light Dance Academy.

“Oh yeah, good job on defeating that Essence Heart Academy’s student in a single attack. That was so satisfying to see,” the headmaster said. 

“He was a weak one anyway,” the prince said. “Had he been strong, he would have been seeded and wouldn’t have to go against me.”𝒐𝗏𝔩xt.𝗰𝑂𝑀

“Still, he seemed to have an Essence Soul so he wasn’t that weak,” the headmaster said.

“I suppose you’re not wrong in that regard, headmaster,” the prince said. “And I must say, it did feel good defeating him like that.”

“Haha! Of course, you would,” the headmaster said and then turned to Ning. “You did quite amazing today too.”

“Thank you, Headmaster,” Ning said quickly.

“I swear,” the old man said. “The way it looked like you almost lost, only for you to appear all the way up there in the sky and defeat the girl. That was simply marvelous.”

Ning smiled. “Thank you,” he said once again.

The headmaster looked at Ning closely and shook his head in surprise. “When Hayan said all those months ago that there was a new kid in our school that had a very pure Essence that hadn’t been seen before, I didn’t trust much at that time. However, I can see that I should have instead paid more attention to you back then.”

The headmaster thought for a bit and said, “Because of how well you did in the Combat competition, despite not having to do so makes me want to reward you. Hmm, how about 50 credits once you return to the academy.”

“Just him, headmaster? What about us?” Tenn asked.

The headmaster chuckled. “Haha, if you can make it through the next battle, I’ll give you all a reward as well,” he said. “In fact, for every single round you pass from here on forward, I will give you all different kinds of rewards, all with increasing worth and importance.”
