"Uhn?" Theon gazed incredulously. He hadn't expected to receive such good news at this time. He was most certainly surprised.
He frowned slightly and thought of a single person. Instructor Luna but then he let out a wild grin.
With the Level-2 authority, he could access the third floor of the Archive, having the chance to get techniques of an even higher level!
One of the information about a level two authority stated that he could select a technique of a higher tier. Instead of the entry level techniques newly admitted students are allowed to receive for free. Theon get to select one Nuclear technique and Combat tactic of Tier 2!
Excitedly, Theon moved to the next floor, his heart pounding loudly with a desirous avid.
The floor was blocked by a huge metallic door, seemingly not made purely of metal. With the golden frame of the large door, dark weirdly shaped pattern was deeply etched on the door. The pattern looked like a huge snake with spikes jutting out of its entire body, blood dripping out from its mouth and ripped skin.
This made the door looked really sinister, but it was strangely pretty at the same time! This made Theon pause, slightly pondering of the large door was also made of a beast skin, same as the statue outside.
A beam escaped the eyes of beast like a laser. But Theon wasn't shocked as the beam stopped near his heart, scanning the badge he had hung by his shirt. In the next second, the metallic frame released a mechanical sound as the door opened up.
[Welcome Theon]
Taking in a deep breath, Theon walked inside and was greeted by an entirely pure white large room without a single speck of stain within. Yet, the most shocking aspect was the fact that despite the books neatly arranged in the shelves, they did nothing to ruin the germaphobic vibe of the hall.
Walking carefully to one of the shelves, Theon stopped to pick up the first book before him. It was a slightly old manual with glossy but dry and fluffy texture. He couldn't open the book though and could only read the introductory text at the front page.
[Infinite Void Attraction: This requires one to circulate their energy like the swirling of a void. Increasing rate of absorption by 50 percent. Upon each advancement, each stage increases rate of absorption by 50%.]
At the perfect stage of this technique, the void around a ten meter radius would be under user's complete control!
Theon raised an eyebrow upon reading the text. Just the first book he had picked was already so powerful, Theon couldn't wait to see the other books.
[Burst Flame Rebirth: This requires one to circulate the energy and vibrate the cells in order for it to create a chemical reaction, causing combustion, therefore attracting and creating even more radiation energy in the surroundings. Increases absorbsion rate by 50 percent.]
it contains three stages and when user reaches the ultimate stage, the body gain resistance such that it would be invulnerable to weapons like anti-tank missile or even a ballistic missile!
Theon's heart thumped loudly upon reading the second manual.
The manuals were getting even better and better! It was just Tier 1 technique and not even a combat tactic and yet, they appeared even more impressive than the Primal Breathing Techniques that he was using.
Licking his dried lips, Theon reluctantly dropped the manual.
Although the Flame Reconstruction technique was tempting, Theon didn't want to select it yet as there might be others even more impressive than it.
Grabbing the next book, Theon began to read through the manuals like a maniac.
Zerth Birth, Rolling Mountain, Catalytic Gravity, Dark Flame Whirlpool, Purple Ray Moon, Ionized Solar Pulse, Nuclear Star surge!
[Eternal Permafrost Veins]
Circulates energy through crystallized meridian nodes, gradually lowering the user's body temperature. First stage increases absorption by 50 percent. At the perfect stage, the user energy is able to transform into frost energy and is able to freeze enemies movement.
[Bloody Catalytic Substance]
This technique depends entirely on blood. Absorb primal energy by drinking blood.
[Ionized Solar Pulse]
Increases absorption with the intensity of the sun. At the perfect stage, user can release energy beam made of compressed air and sunlight.
[Titan's Mantle]
Circulate energy like the earth crust. At the perfect stage, strength multiplies by 200% when in contact with natural ground and be unmovable as the mountain.
[Dark Hell Flame Vortex]
With the Aid of Dark Hell Flames that enshroud whatever it touches will absorb all radiation and energy that appears near them, providing it all to the user for absorption. Absorption rate depend entirely on the quality of Dark-Hellflame
The Dark Hellflame vortex likewise also contains five stages and at the perfect stage, the user is immune to fire damage, his cells are transformed into hell flame cores and can spread hell flames to cover a large radius.
The Hellflame swallows all light within it burning and robbing those trapped of all their senses strength and energy.
However, the user is unaffected by it and can navigate it without any ill effect.
After a few moments of contemplation, Theon decisively chose the The Dark Hellflame vortex. It was the only technique he saw that didn't place a limit on its rate of absorption.
The technique was the one caught his eye the most.
[Ding!]
[Student Theon, you have 1 minute left. Please select the manual of your choice and leave.]
Theon smiled as he picked up the book and turned to leave. Just as he was about to exit through the door, from the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of an old book lying on an empty compartment of a shelf.
The book looked shabby compared to the other techniques. Curious, Theon picked it up and skimmed through the introductory page.
Interdimensional Organism Symbiosis Technique: A symbiotic creature that enhances the absorbsion capabilities of its host rapidly.
The organism partially merges with the host's cells, augmenting the host on both a genetic and cellular level.
Though the host's bones and muscles aren't replaced they are enhanced by the organism allowing them to form whirlpools around the host's pores, absorbing primal energy rapidly.
The Initial stage increases absorption rate by 50 percent and strength by 50 percent, the Mid stage increases by another 50 percent and strength by 50 Percent
When technique is mastered to the perfect stage, one would be able to fully merge with the bio-organism, boosting strength, agility and physique by 500%, boosting the host's constitution to reject toxins and recovering from wounds more quickly.
[Warning: Their will be physical transformations. varies from user to user.]
