"Face...my own fate?" Upon hearing that voice, Sheyan roared out without a shred of hesitation."Yes! I've met my fate a long time ago. To conquer fate, I've only seeked for more power, power that stems from myself!!"
"I must live on! I must grow stronger. I must protect my family and friends!!"
[Unwavering resolution......that's good. Then be prepared to meet your own innate power! Your inherent gift!]
A beam shot out from the eye, and shone against Sheyan's nightmare imprint. Instantly, Sheyan could feel a shattering agony throughout his body. Under the shine of that beam, shadows of clouds and mists started wafting out from his back.
[What! This power...... ] The periphery of that pupil suddenly undulated briefly, before quickly calming down.
[Though your innate ability isn't an exceptionally rare dual innate or triple innate, its moldability and maturing potential is incredibly terrifying! If you choose to morph it into an offensive innate ability, I can allow you to experience the formidability of its ultimate evolution right now!]
"Offensive innate ability?" Sheyan was stunned."Isn't my innate ability a defensive type? How do I experience it?
After speaking those words, the clouds and mist behind him congealed into a strange jade symbol, before integrating into his body. All of a sudden, that unexplainable sound of a heartbeat rung in Sheyan's ears once again!
The ringing caused Sheyan to feel like his own heart was pumping strenuously within his chest. The deafening heartbeat reverberated through the entire world, like rolling of thunder and the beating of drums!
Only after a long while, did he recover his normal state. However, a field of scarlet greeted his vision. Sheyan couldn't help but press his palm to cover his face.
In this instant, Sheyan felt like every cell of his was brimming with a berserking force! A wave of raging intentions congested his mind; Destroy myself, or destroy this world!
Through the cracks of his fingers, Sheyan's pupils had noticeably transformed into a deathly white luster! His waist involuntarily curved down, and his arms started distorting abnormally. It was as though something was awakening within him, and each breath he made transformed to steam!
In this instant, he felt as though anything could be torn asunder by his hands!!
"This is indeed freakishly strong, but I......I detest this feeling!" Suddenly, Sheyan howled out loudly.
Following his howl, the clouds and mist pervaded out from his body! Freeing him from his berserking state. Furthermore, that vertical eye seemed to be aware that he would reject this.
[Then, how about this form of power?]
In a split second, Sheyan felt his body being positioned uprightly beside a river. Larve waves arose from the river as it smacked against the greenish black reefs. Akin to an expert gazing down disdainfully from the corner of his eyes, his every movement schemed with hostility. The raging waves slapping against the shore, embodying a wild, furtive, emphatic, haughty yet graceful impression...a sense that could decipher hundred distinct auras from a hundred individuals.
Finally, 2 words remained in his mind.
Insufferably arrogant!
Despising all living under heaven, such insufferable arrogance!
Clearly, this was an extremely dreadful offensive ability! The strength of tremendous waves that could overflow to the sky!
Instead, Sheyan still shook his head gently. That vertical eye sighed once again.
[The greater the power, the greater the consequence! Fine then. I will allow you a glimpse of the ultimate power your matured innate can demonstrate. But this signifies that in the future, you can only attain this pinnacle through compensating with a hundred folds of effort, and possessing absolute luck unheard of by others!!]
With a glimmering illumination of the vertical pupil, the clouds and mist behind Sheyan transformed with dull diamond like shimmers, as it fused into his body.
In this moment, his hands swung high above his head subconsciously, as Sheyan widened his palms.
"AHH......"
Momentarily, a faint agonizing groan echoed through the entire space!
Then, a blinding light enveloped the entire space unhindered!
A flash of white surfaced throughout the entire world.
A white nothingness had covered both sky and ground!
An eternal deathly stillness would well up in the hearts, of any whose vision interacted with this plain of whiteness. Though one's heart could try its utmost to deflect it, one's vision would be drawn in totally like a dissolving absorption!
The power of extermination, the power to encompass and extinguish everything!!
Such power; everything it encompassed would dissolve into nothingness!
Yet dealing with such power, Sheyan still maintained a solemn countenance as he shook his head.
"This still isn't the strength I desire."
That pupil hadn't anticipate an answer like that. After a brief daze, it asked.
[What kind of strength do you truly seek?]
Sheyan contemplated for a while, before declaring.
"Only surviving can translate all else into possibilities! I seek for the power of protection! The protection over my life, the protection over my comrades, and finally the protection over my family!!"
[You truly wish to forsake an innate ability of such invincible might?? But rather choose fortitude in defence?]
The vertical pupil's tone was filled with disbelief. Eventually, it released a thunderous snarl.
[Do you know what you are truly forsaking?!!]
Sheyan replied with utmost sincerity.
"Yes! I am very clear on my actions!! Didn't you just mention, the greater one's innate ability, the harder one must strive?! Throughout my journey in the nightmare worlds till now, if not for the wondrous impact of my innate ability 'Endurance', I wouldn't have even made it thus far."
"To me who has grown accustomed to the path of survivability, if I abandon my defensive innate ability, death will befall me sooner than later. Why should I bite off more than I can chew? Why deliberate about an invincible offense?! Facts speak for itself, the realm doesn't lack individuals adept at offense! Therefore, I can very assuredly confirm, what I seek is a defensive innate ability! I seek the most impregnable defensive innate ability!!"
At the latter portion of his proclamation, Sheyan was already shouting till his shouts turned hoarse. The vertical pupil paused silently, before abruptly casting out a beam; irradiating the clouds and mist of Sheyan's innate potential!
"Thump thump, thump thump thump!!"
The frightening thumps of heartbeat once again resounded in Sheyan's ears. He instantly felt his body submerging; as though an imposing mountain peak like Potala palace*, was gradually weighing down firmly on him!
(TN:*Potala palace, is a palace in Lhasa, Tibet. )
Withstand it, and one's body becomes one with the mountain; profound and indestructible like a mountain. Yet failure to withstand it, then one would be flattened into a meat paste on the spot!
Such a sensation; an awe-inspiring grandeur, that seemingly desired to be placed above all innates. An innate that breathed honesty and respect, that could guard against even the suppression of the heavens!
At the juncture when the mountain peak drew near, Sheyan could no longer withstand the stifling pressure as he roared out in fanatical struggling! Suddenly...... he sat up! At this moment, he discovered......where the hell was that mountain peak and that heartbeat?! He was clearly lying on a bamboo bed within the village. His head was topped with a damped tower, while the lady Naizhu was observing him with horror.
At present, Sheyan couldn't care less about others. He was busy checking if his innate ability had been awakened. The nightmare imprint transmitted the notification into his ears.
[ Note: Your innate has officially awakened in the present world! ]
[ Note: Your innate ability can now go into effect in the present world. ]
[ Note: Your innate ability has evolved. Your original innate ability 'Endurance' is officially upgraded. ]
[ Note: Contestant no. 1018 has discovered his awakened innate ability - Stronghold (Passive). Any damage received will be forcefully reduced by 40 points (Previously was only physical damage and 25 points reduction). If the damage received is below 40 points, your HP will only be deducted by 1 point. Apart from that, duration of negative buffs will be additionally reduced by 25%. This effect can be layered with physique exemption effects. ]
[ Note: Unable to determine precedence of the ability 'Stronghold'...data disorder. ]
[ Details: Your are currently unable to evaluate your innate ability rank! (for example, rank A, B, C etc). Therefore, others cannot probe out your innate ability as well. However, you are unable to communicate your innate ability to others as well. ]
Upon browsing through the series of notification, Sheyan finally let out a long exhalation. It could be said that he had truly suffered much hardships the past few days.
Right now, he was honestly feeling as though a huge burden had been relieved. Sheyan glanced down towards his nightmare imprint at his chest, which had shockingly morphed into a strange, abstruse, mysterious symbol. Examining it, it emitted a tremendous sensation as though it was the backbone of the world, a meteoric feature, guarding against all inhibition!
Right now, Sheyan could feel the rumbling and churning of his stomach, he then squeezed out a smile to Naizhu.
"How long have I been out for?"
Niazhu looked into his eyes and replied.
"3 days."
Sheyan was astounded.
"I've been unconscious for so long? No wonder I feel so hungry, get me something to eat!"
Naizhu headed out, and swiftly returned with a large clump of banana leaf wrapped rice, along with some sour spicy cucumber. Sheyan blissfully gorged down his food, and even desired more after finishing his meal. But at this moment, tears welled up in lady Naizhu's eyes, as she suddenly burst into tears.
Sheyan was taken aback; there is no need to cry even if this brother eats a little more, in any case, you've already received several thousand american dollars as training fee...with the climate of Thailand, you can have two rounds of chilling drinks daily, and still retain surplus. Seems like payment should be made in installments next time, to prevent being neglected...... Instead, the lady Naizhu lamented while she sobbed and sniffed.
"Our chef, Uncle Song, had been beaten up yesterday till he couldn't even get up today. This rice was prepared by him yesterday..."
