Chapter 856 – Shattered Expectations

 

After the evaluations were completed, Jason thought that the weekly comparison event would be over now, but that was not the case.

In fact, it was almost as if it had just started. 

Only when Linus told them that sometimes the event lasted for three days and two nights did Jason understand that it was more like a weekly trainings camp than anything else.

That was the case because people grouped themselves in pairs and began to spar against each other once again. 

However, this time, nobody was allowed to use any mana or the artificial soul fusion.

Jason found this interesting because the restriction forced everyone to solely rely on their combat awareness, physical strength, and combat style.

Through this, they were able to comprehend much more than during the times they were forced to rely on other things such as mana circulation, the utilisation of specific martial art techniques, using their soulbonds' manifested body parts, and much more.

With that in mind, Jason decided to join the others, while continuing to emphasize that a natural fusion was much better.

At the same time, he clearly demonstrated that his physical strength was far more than that of the others. 

His movements were smoother too without the problem the others had.

As a matter of fact, the issues of the humans around him were solely based on the enhancement they received from the Ninad beasts.

This should tell Jason that the humans themselves were at fault for bringing forth these problems.

However, he couldn't think that way after everything that had happened because it was more like the Ninad beasts were more sensitive towards the soul binding process than normal beasts.

Their soul amplification was higher, and it looked like they were easier to form an artificial soul fusion with even if that was forced.

But that was not helpful considering that the Ninad beasts seemed to be able to retaliate much more than normal soulbonds owing to their sensitivity.

As a matter of fact, Jason's Emperor Eyes were slowly able to comprehend the things he hadn't been able to perceive clearly only hours before.

Through this, he could see that Linus had to keep an eye on his soulbonds, preventing them from doing however they pleased. 

This decreased his possible combat prowess by a small margin.

Jason couldn't tell for sure whether this was owing to the fact that Linus' soulbonds were stronger than his or due to the soulbond contract.

However what he was sure of was the fact that Linus was not the only one with issues, but everyone with a Ninad beast was struggling to bind with them.

Yet, at the same time, nobody seemed to be bothered about it because the advantages of binding a Ninad beast outweighed the disadvantages.

Jason felt that this was hypocritical, but he refrained from commenting. 

He just continued sparring with each of the young men and women, while trying to focus on fighting those with the highest physical strength.

That was something he attempted to do because he wanted to subject himself to a lot of pressure, if he wanted to exceed his limitations, to advance his mastery in the Hermes Celeration movement techniques.

As for the Bladed Ruyi Bang martial art technique, Jason had many ideas, but until now he had been unable to practice it properly.

Because of that, he had yet to reach even the lowest basic mastery.

But that was fine with him because the movement technique was more important for now, and he planned to achieve something else with the Bladed Ruyi Bang technique, to begin with!

With that in mind, Jason made use of his opponent's strength to increase his combat prowess in a slow, but steady manner.

He even attempted to not use his eyes or the passive effect of the foresight blessing.

Unfortunately, this was easier said than done, and Jason was indirectly forced to cheat. 

The passive effects of his Emperor Eyes and foresight blessing were not something that he could simply ignore.

Thus, his perception was enhanced and the ability to tell where he would be attacked next received a boost too.

Using this to his advantage, he was able to fight with more precision, allowing him to execute higher combat prowess.

Following that, the others were astonished about the way he fought. 

To them, it was a mystery of how he was able to predict every single move of his opponent in advance.

This was madness and his accuracy enraged them to the extent that their strength was increasing as adrenaline pumped into their veins.

Yet, instead of defeating Jason easily, they continued to struggle as their movements became even more sluggish due to their loss of concentration.

In the end, Jason was sometimes able to defeat his opponents, and sometimes not, but he never lost his focus on the comprehension of the movement technique. Though this was not the case for the others.

As a matter of fact, the humans he fought were sweating profusely and were barely able to get their act together. Meanwhile, Jason was using the time in between the spars to focus on his comprehension, if he understood everything properly, and what he could do to fix the mistakes he saw.

This difference was what made a true prodigy stand out from someone who was a rookie and an untrained combatant.

Given that circumstance, Jason decided that sparring for a few hours was more than enough for him to understand everything he wanted to.

His comprehension of the Hermes Celeration movement technique had increased, but that was not the most important fact. 

Rather, it was interesting and a major achievement for him to have a rough understanding of the combat prowess every participant of the weekly comprehension event had.

With that in mind, he left the dojo, along with Jennifer, who was right next to him. 

Ensuring that nobody else would hear him, he quietly mumbled,

"I'm quite disappointed…Were my expectations too high about this camp?"

Jennifer heard him mumble, but she didn't comment. 

In the end, she was not sure what she could do to help him because her mood was as bad as Jason's. 

They might have gotten accepted in the camp, and Linus had allowed them to stay inside his large home. 

But that didn't change the fact that everyone treated their soulbonds like a use and throw tissue, to put it nicely. 

She hadn't seen a single human, who treated their soulbond nicely or anything that could be considered close to affection or love. 

This made her believe that Jason was an anomaly amongst the humans from Argos but in a good way. 

Lightly tapping Jason's back, she tried to distract him from the sorrow engulfing him.

Little did she know that Jason's thoughts were somewhere else, focused on finding Lux, the Lord of Death.

The title given to Lux was cringeworthy, but that was not something to be concerned about.

Instead, it told Jason that he had to be careful about the abilities of Lux as well as his army of Undeads. 

He was aware that it should have skyrocketed in number as a decade had passed since their last meeting!

Thus, he couldn't afford to be reckless and plan every move thoughtfully. 

Hence, instead of wasting his time, he soared into the air before releasing his entire mana and divine energy into the Emperor Eyes in order to see everything around him.

By utilising his eyes' ability, he could finally start searching for Lux, who was said to be nearby. 

It was only half an hour later that he began to smile brightly as he mumbled,

"I found him!! He is…at the Peak of the Prismar stage!"
