Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 68 68. Arrow storm

But Oliver's and Raelia's shocked expressions couldn't be blamed on their ignorance or even narrow thinking.

Aiden's display was really just that ridiculous.

A mechanism meant to leave trainees helpless had been shattered by the force of just one man's fist. How could they not be shocked!

Just after redeeming a new divine technique, Aiden's strength had jumped to a new level again.

Aiden's growth could only be described as exponential; he just kept on growing and showed no sign of slowing down.

He was like an all-consuming flame. Anything and everything would be added and devoured within his flame, allowing it to burn stronger and stronger with each passing moment.

Looking at the burning path he had created in front of them, Aiden looked back towards Raelia and Oliver and spoke.

"Let's continue moving. This is just the beginning."

With that, the group continued journeying forward.

But as they were journeying through the mist, it didn't take long before Aiden paused once again as a cruel smile appeared on his face. He turned towards his good friend.

"Oliver, you sense them, right?"

Oliver, in turn, responded with a smile just as cruel as Aiden's.

"Of course I do. They're those bastards from before."

Just after Oliver had finished his words, countless figures could be seen emerging from the mist.

Several ominous dark wooden puppets walked out.

The dark wood composing their bodies almost had a metallic sheen to it as they cut through the mist like a spectral army.

Maybe it was because they hadn't been knocked off the path, but unlike the last time they ran this trial, the puppets numbered in the hundreds.

In addition, the darker coloring and more ominous aura emanating from the bodies of these puppets showed they were much stronger than the ones they had encountered when they first arrived.

But once Aiden and the others saw this sight, they weren't fearful or annoyed; instead, they were excited!

These puppets were the ones that had left them brutally hospitalized and knocked out when they first came to the training camp.

In a way, they served as symbolism for their awakening to the world of the gods and their inherent weakness.

But what would it mean if they could now defeat this symbolism?

It would mean that they had successfully started their journey towards true strength, no matter how small it may seem now.

It was a step-by-step process that could reach unimaginable heights.

The trio stared at the hundred different figures in front of them, and their eyes glowed with an unimaginable battle intent.

Each of their hands flashed in a blur, and all of a sudden, a terrifying storm of arrows descended from the skies!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Apocalyptic explosions rained from the sky as Aiden's figure flashed forward in a beam of golden light.

Back then, he had rushed into the forest recklessly and hadn't even thought to bring a bow, facing these puppets with just his fists, which caused him to be helplessly defeated.

Now he would shatter these enemies with just these very same fists!

[Daybreak Fist!]

Boom!

An explosion of light appeared, annihilating these puppets as if they were early morning darkness before the rising sun.

And Aiden's reign of terror was just beginning!

Aiden stepped forward, and the earth beneath his feet shattered as his body continued to lunge forward into the endless swarm of puppets.

Countless fists and kicks rained down on Aiden's body, but it was all for naught.

Aiden's figure was like that of an elusive ghost. It was constantly flashing with a golden light as it flickered around, phasing through every attack.

But Aiden wasn't just dodging. After entering the semi-light state, Aiden would instantly phase back out of it to return a devastating punch that sent every puppet his fist landed on flying.

This was all happening within the span of mere seconds, with Aiden's body moving in a massive blur and his fists flying out like a storm of arrows!

All of a sudden, Aiden's mind seemed to wander off into a different space.

A Storm of Arrows?

A simple observation had awakened something in Aiden.

As soon as that thought hit Aiden's mind, his body began to tremble.

Thousands of thoughts and theories flooded Aiden's mind as the divinity within his blood surged with excitement.

His fist techniques and his monstrous archery talent were reacting again to form something.

Aiden could feel it and smiled as he leapt high into the air.

Pulling back his fists, the muscles in Aiden's arms and back twisted and coiled until they perfectly accumulated all the power in his body, like that of a fully drawn bowstring.

Aiden took a deep breath and breathed out a cloud of white, mist-like air before his voice bellowed throughout the skies, calling forth the name of his newly created technique:

"Fist like Arrow – Arrow Storm!"

The puppets all paused to look up at Aiden's figure, and it's a good thing they were puppets as well because if it were humans in their place, they would have all collectively shat themselves.

Aiden's fists seemed to have multiplied, forming countless shadows that seemed to blot out even the dazzling sun behind him!

As these shadows fell, they no longer took the form of fist shadows but instead of countless deadly arrows that appeared as if they could pierce through anything!

It really was a storm of arrows!

Countless explosions sounded as the puppets exploded and were shattered under Aiden's newly created fist technique.

By the time Aiden landed, his feet fell upon a mountain of destroyed puppets.

Howl!!

Although Aiden's performance was magnificent, he wasn't the only one wreaking havoc.

A short distance away, a towering figure wrapped in glowing silver fur could be seen howling manically as her terrifying claws dismantled any of the attacking puppets in a cold flash of silver light.

Cruel, calculated, and fierce!

Although each movement seemed wild and berserk, if one looked closer, they could see that they all contained a deadly amount of precision and accuracy.
