The crowd of Elite Class students who had witnessed the one-sided beating stood frozen in stunned silence, their minds struggling to process what they had just seen. Jake, who had been ranked 199 and was known throughout the district as someone with considerable physical power and a B-Rank talent that made him dangerous in close combat, had been defeated in less than thirty seconds by a newcomer who supposedly possessed only an F-Rank talent and only just entered the academy!

They could hardly believe what had just happened.

Among the crowd of the spectators, a particularly thin young man with sharp eyes who had watched the entire battle frowned as his eyes flickered with different thoughts glowing through his head.

Without drawing attention to himself, the thin young man turned and started walking towards a particular direction.

***

Building 100, was dramatically different from building 101 to 300.

It was a two-story building with flowers in front of the house, making it look very luxurious.

Inside the mansion, in a specially constructed cultivation chamber that was at the center of the building, a young man who appeared no older than seventeen was settled deep in meditation.

His silver hair that fell past his shoulders fluttered and seem to shimmer with light.

The young man's features carried the refined elegance that came from generations of selective breeding within noble bloodlines.

The cultivation chamber wasn't too large and only about ten meters square, but there were Astra flowers of various types arranged neatly around the cultivation chamber, making the room look incredibly serene and calming.

Behind the silver-haired young man's back, was an enormous silver sword that was three meters in length.

As it floated behind him vertically, it rotated slowly in a vertical circle. The blade's surface was covered in intricate engravings that seemed to shift and flow like liquid metal, and with each complete rotation, the sword drew in Astra energy from the void itself.

The gathered power flowed through the air as it surged into the young man's body, increasing his cultivation base with each circulation.

This young man's name was Tyrion Silvercrest, and he was widely acknowledged as one of the most talented students in the entire Elite Class first-year cohort.

His family, the Silvercrest clan, was one of the major powers in the Eastern Continent with a history stretching back over a thousand years.

More importantly, Tyrion himself possessed an A-Rank Astra Soul talent. No one knew if he possess a bloodline or not as no one had ever been powerful enough to force him to reveal his bloodline.

He was currently ranked 100 in the Elite Class first-years, and most students expect him to eventually challenge for 90th position very soon.

Tyrion's meditation was suddenly interrupted as his holo watch vibrated.

His eyes opened, and a silver light flashed from his pupils.

What was shocking was the unusual structure of his pupils themselves. At the very center of each eye, instead of the normal circular pupil that most humans possessed, there was a perfect five-pointed star shape.

Tyrion's handsome face showed a slight frown of irritation at being disturbed during his practice session.

With a casual gesture of his hand, Tyrion swiped through the air in front of him. His energy responded to the motion, connecting with the mansion's Matrix.

The gate opened up and the thin young man who had been watching Levi's fight quickly entered the mansion quickly and navigated through the entrance hall without hesitation, clearly familiar with the layout.

He moved directly to the cultivation chamber where Tyrion waited, and when he entered, he immediately adopted a respectful posture with his head slightly bowed and his hands clasped in front of him.

"Why did you come, Wesley?"

Tyrion asked calmly, while he was irritated, his face was still expressionless as though nothing could disturb his state of mind.

Wesley smiled in a fawning manner.

He was also from Silver crest family but his status was that of a servant.

If it weren't for the Silvercrest family using connections to get him here l, he would have never have even neutered the academy.

If he was able to perform well, there was a chance that he would be rewards with good stuffs and maybe his status would be elevated also.

"Young Master Tyrion, it's something that just happened," Wesley began, his words tumbling out quickly with barely suppressed excitement. "Jake, who was ranked one hundred ninety-nine in our district, was actually defeated by the new student who came first during the trial examination. The fight wasn't even close. Jake was completely overwhelmed in less than half a minute."

Tyrion's frowned slightly. "Jake is a Level Two Genetic Warrior."

"Exactly, Young Master Tyrion," Wesley eagerly spoke. "No one expected the youth had actually broken through to the Genetic Warrior realm already. The trial examination only ended a few hours ago, but this Levi person is already at Level 1 Genetic Warrior stage, and he managed to cross a minor realm to defeat Jake who is a Level 2. The beating was completely one-sided. Even when Jake activated his Astra talent and technique, he was still overwhelmed!"

"Hm." Tyrion grunted softly, but not appearing particularly impressed or concerned by it. His star-shaped pupils rotated slowly as his thoughts flickered.

There were many geniuses in the cultivation world who could cross minor realms to battle opponents technically stronger than themselves. Superior technique, better combat instincts, or simply having more practical battle experience could allow a technically weaker cultivator to defeat a stronger one under the right circumstances.

It wasn't strange for a Level One Genetic Warrior to defeat a Level Two Genetic Warrior if they possessed better techniques and knew how to use them effectively.

After a moment of consideration, Tyrion spoke. "Continue to keep an eye on him and inform me when he goes to retrieve the Earth-Grade manuals from the archives. Earth-Grade techniques are useless in the hands of such trash and can only be useful with someone with a good Astra Soul."

"Yes, Young Master," Wesley replied immediately.
