Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 69 69. passing the first area

Unparalleled strength combined with genius-level precision—it was enough to leave any opponent helpless.

Anyone who was fortunate enough to gaze upon this sight would instantly admit in their hearts:

Right now, an apex predator was unleashed on the battlefield.

Suddenly the ground beneath their feet trembled.

Aiden felt something wrong and quickly called out:

"Raelia, look out!"

But the warning came too late. A dark, heavy fist tore through the mist, crashing down on Raelia's body.

Boom!

A deafening shockwave spread across the area as the ground trembled.

Aiden looked at the terrifying aftermath of the attack, and his eyes burned with anger. But just as he was about to move, he looked closer, and his eyes shook.

Underneath the giant fist, a burst of dazzling silver light shone out as an enraged cry shook the sky.

"How dare you try to crush me? Do I look like some bug to you!"

Howl!

A furious wolf's howl escaped from Raelia's transformed lips as she flung the giant puppet's arm away, causing it to stumble backward.

Despite falling backward, the puppet mechanically raised its arm and readied to attack Raelia once again, but before it could act...

Two flaming arrows pierced through the mist, landing squarely on its shoulder.

Boom! Boom!

Oliver had fired two arrows that disrupted the giant puppet's movement, allowing Raelia to easily avoid its second blow.

Standing a distance away, Raelia snarled viciously as her claws protruded from her hands, now glowing with a cold silver light.

[Crescent Moon Claw!]

Raelia moved forward in a silver flash of light, and Aiden could just see Raelia appear behind the giant puppet before its legs exploded and were completely sliced and dismantled into falling wooden blocks.

Despite collapsing, the giant puppet clasped its hands together and raised them to the sky, ready to bring them down like a divine warhammer, but Oliver was already a step ahead.

[Apollo's Archery - True Dawn!]

Oliver's bow was engulfed in a dazzling golden flame as a blinding burst of light exploded from the arrow tip.

The arrows tore through the sky, smashing through the giant fist, and that's when Aiden made his move.

His figure moved forward, appearing high in the sky as his eyes glowed with a cold golden light.

[Daybreak Fist!]

Aiden's fist left a golden line through the air as it smashed down like a falling meteorite.

The head of the puppet was as tough as iron, but it still shattered helplessly underneath Aiden's fist!

As Aiden landed back on the floor, he took a deep breath as he looked at the sea of shattered and destroyed puppets and smiled.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Suddenly, Aiden and the others heard the sound of slow clapping coming from behind them.

"Who!"

Aiden frowned.

He was just thinking about how much stronger he had gotten, and yet he hadn't even sensed the person who suddenly appeared from behind him!

But soon, Aiden's caution quickly disappeared.

"I-Instructor Kyros?"

Seeing Aiden's surprised look, the instructor just chuckled.

"Congratulations, students. You are the second group to break through the first sector of the mountain cliff trial."

"Second? Who was the first group?" asked Aiden, a little surprised.

"Well, it would be wrong to call them a group since it was only one person at the end of the day."

As Aiden heard this, his expression hardened.

If it was only one individual, then that could only leave one person—the only one who made Aiden feel unsettled and cautious throughout the entire training camp.

"Kain."

"Yes, it was that boy," replied Instructor Kyros.

Aiden took a deep breath and clenched his fist. While Kain was ahead of him now, it would not be that way forever.

Instructor Kyros saw this and nodded his head, looking towards the three trainees in front of him.

"I won't bore you with meaningless words. Unlike the fool before you, I came with a map, so I assume you've already done your research. From this point on, the area beyond is its own independent realm. You won't be facing constructs made to test your abilities, but real monsters that would devour you at any moment.

You could die."

When Instructor Kyros said these words, he had expected the trainees in front of him to flinch or at the very least become unsettled, but instead, he saw them smile.

"When I was first invited to Olympus Academy, I was already told about the possibility that I could die, and I still chose to come," explained Aiden.

"In life, nothing can be gained without taking risks. This is even more true for us who desire the power of the gods. To seek such otherworldly strength, it's only natural that your life can also be put up for collateral."

Instructor Kyros looked at the confident and resolute expressions on the students in front of him and smiled.

"Very well, then. Each of you are among the top talents of this year's selection. I'm expecting great things from you, not just at the training camp, but at the academy in the future."

As the instructor said this, his voice seemed to fade away, becoming distant as his body disappeared from the spot, making Aiden wonder whether the entire conversation he had just had was just an illusion.

But after he turned to look at Oliver and Raelia and saw them with similarly confused expressions on their faces, he knew that his eyes weren't deceiving him—it was just Instructor Kyros acting mysteriously.

Shaking his head, Aiden walked towards Raelia and Oliver, placing a hand on each of their shoulders as he smiled.

"The real challenge begins now, so, shall we head out?"

"Of course!" replied Raelia.

"I can finally participate in a proper hunt again."

As Raelia spoke, her fangs started elongating as her eyes glowed with an ominous silver light.

Seeing the eyes of both of his friends bursting with excitement, Oliver just shook his head.

"You can get excited, but you still have to remain calm and follow our laid-out plans. We can't afford to fail here. Our lives are at risk."
