Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 67 67. Not the same

A few minutes later, Raelia rolled up the map and securely placed it on her belt as she spoke.

"Okay, I've familiarized myself with the map and planned a route we can take to hit all the treasure spots in the shortest amount of time."

Hearing this, a majestic golden light bloomed in the eyes of the two young men as their divine blood boiled.

Raelia looked at her two friends with a pair of glowing blue eyes and spoke with excitement.

"Now everything is in order. Let's hunt!"

....

A short while later, three trainees entered the forest pathway.

As the group walked, Oliver looked around and chuckled.

"It brings back pleasant memories, doesn't it?"

Raelia heard this and just scoffed.

"We're not the same people we were weeks ago. We've grown stronger, and we won't be stopped by just some preliminary trials. We didn't come here as trainees but as hunters."

"We've arrived."

Aiden's voice rang out, causing the entire group to pause.

The trio looked forward and saw many different branching pathways, all covered in fog.

Oliver eagerly stepped into the fog, grabbing the faint mystical mist and letting it trickle through his fingers.

"If my guess is correct, this should be the start of the space distortion barrier that allows for a much larger area to be contained within. From this moment on, things get serious."

The trio looked at each other and just nodded.

With that motion, they dove deeper, each of them channeling energy into their legs as they rushed forward fearlessly into the mist.

The second Aiden entered, he noticed something off and frowned.

He couldn't quite feel it before, but now that his strength had greatly increased, he noticed it instantly. This fog seemed to have a faint suppression on his senses. He probably hadn't discovered it earlier because his senses were so weak that the suppression effect was negligible.

As the trio charged forward, Aiden's eyes narrowed with a golden glow as he looked ahead before shouting, "Watch out, those tendrils are attacking!"

Shortly after Aiden's warning, a swarm of dark brown wooden tendrils burst out of the fog like a tide of raging dragons!

[Sunlight Shuttle]

Aiden's figure exploded with blinding radiance as he flickered with countless afterimages, practically phasing through the endless attacks.

While Oliver and Raelia didn't have as easy a time as Aiden, they still managed to comfortably skip past the raging tendrils.

If it were the Aiden from before, he would've breathed a sigh of relief and thanked his lucky stars before continuing down the path. But how could the current Aiden be compared to his former self?

Since he was being attacked, he would definitely fight back!

Aiden's eyes shone with a magnificent glow as he quickly drew the bow from his back. As soon as his hand touched it, the bow glowed with golden light, buzzing with excitement.

[True Dawn]

Aiden's words echoed throughout the forest like a god-emperor's divine judgment as his arrow blasted forward. A golden light tore through the mist, slashing straight into a towering ancient tree.

Boom!

An eruption of golden fire completely engulfed the tree, causing many of the attacking tendrils to go limp and instantly combust.

And now that Aiden had fired the first shot, how could Raelia and Oliver let him have all the fun?

Soon, a swarm of golden and silver arrows descended from the sky like a divine missile salvo, completely littering any tree that was releasing attacking tendrils.

It barely even took a minute before the forest returned to its previous silence, meaning one thing: all enemies were eliminated.

The group hadn't even broken a sweat.

Just like that, an area that had once left them no choice but to run helplessly a few weeks ago had been completely annihilated.

If it weren't for the cautious nature of the group wanting to retrieve their fired arrows, they wouldn't have even bothered to look back at such an easy foe.

After quickly retrieving their arrows, the group continued their run.

Aiden and his group continued to move for a little while before they suddenly started to feel a violent trembling from the ground beneath their feet.

Looking into the distance, Aiden could see what could only be described as a tidal wave of earth rushing toward them.

Aiden remembered exactly what this was—the ground itself would try to fling the trainees off the pathway and into the forest to separate them and get them lost.

Looking to his side, Aiden could see fine silver hairs starting to pop out of Raelia's skin, an obvious sign that she was about to use her werewolf transformation. But Aiden just patted her shoulder with a confident smile.

"You can relax. I've got this."

While she was still stunned, Aiden's body flashed forward until he was only a few meters away from the tide of earth.

Stepping forward, Aiden took a deep breath.

"Badum! Badum! Badum!"

Aiden's heart started to speed up echoing through his surooundings like a raging war drum as the divinity within him bubbled violently !

Clenching his fists, the veins on Aiden's arms popped as his eyes burst out with golden flames and he punched forward

[Daybreak Fist!]

Aiden's fist seemed to contain the power of the sun itself as it made contact with the tide of earth.

Boom! Your journey continues with empire

The world was quickly covered with blinding gold as it was blessed with the radiance of a miniature sun, all emanating from Aiden's fist!

The collision created a shockwave that sent dust and debris flying everywhere!

When the dust settled, they were all greeted with a sight of hellish carnage!

They saw a gigantic fist-shaped hole stretching through the miniature mountain of earth. The ground around Aiden was still bubbling with violent crimson magma that had been generated from his scorching solar flames.

All that remained was an imposing figure wrapped in golden, solar flames standing there motionlessly, almost as if he was oblivious to the utter carnage he had created with his own hands
