Skill Extraction

Jayden watched the threads stick into Sir Julius' dead body, or what was left of it, he asked Nahshon what was going on but he didn't get a reply, so he waited.

The thread began to suck in something from the body, they flowed from the threads into Jayden's Rogue Suit and a red bar showing his progress was hovering in his face.

[EXTRACTION PROGRESS]

Miss Claudia who had watched the whole confrontation was left with her mouth hanging wide open, the battle had lasted for just ten seconds with Jayden completely dominating Sir Julius, it seemed like a veteran fighter had fought with an amateur in a life and death match.

"What was that skill? It seemed to have just covered him in a full body armour, it doesn't look like the normal Shield skill used by most people, and the color is different too. Also, What's that Mech Suit he used? I've never seen that model before, Is it a prototype of a new model that's still in its testing phase? And his insane physical strength, I know Julius isn't as strong as the rest of us, but his strength should be enough to flatten any first year, yet... He's the one who got flattened. Literally."

"Thats to be expected from my masters student, though I'm just as surprised as you are." A soft voice rang behind her, pulling her out of her stunned state.

"Mr A1." Miss Claudia turned around and bowed.

"Ahh Claudia, I thought I told you to stop doing that, I'm just a robot." A1 said with a small smile, then his expression turned serious. "I hope you've seen what you wanted to? If not, you must return now and never speak of what you've just witnessed here."

Miss Claudia seemed to be in a dilemma, she was torn between the choice of waiting to see the end of what Jayden was doing, and she wanted to listen to A1. Though she feared him, she knew that he wouldn't harm her, not because he couldn't, but because he liked her.

Among all the teachers of the houses, Miss Claudia was respected by A1 because of her smarts. So she wanted to take advantage of that and wait a little to see what was going to happen, while on the other hand, she didn't want to offend him.

A1 sighed and walked forward until he was ahead of her and was now watching Jayden. "You have ten minutes."

Miss Claudia smiled happily and stood beside him, they waited for ten minutes straight, albeit nothing happened. Jayden just deactivated his skills and Rogue Suit, and sat on the ground.

Jayden waited until the bar was full, the threads retracted and returned back to the rogue suit.

[Rogue Mode Deactivated]

Jayden deactivated his skills and the Rogue Suit, then he sat on the ground and began to cultivate.

'Nahshon, What really happened? I felt a sudden boost in strength when I saw those notifications, and before I knew it, Sir Julius was dead and something was being extracted from him. What was all that?'

[Remember I told you something about fighting other Mech Suit users right?]

'Hmm.'

[Well, this is what I meant]

[The Rogue Suit was given that name because of this particular reason, it has the ability to steal the skills of Mech Suit users and make them yours]

'Damn!!! That's really OP!!!'

[One more thing]

'Whats that?'

[When you end your cultivation, check your stats]

Jayden did as told and sat on the ground for close to fifteen minutes, he still felt sore, but the Creation Orb was helping with that. Jayden felt reinvigorated after his cultivation, everything had been restored and it was now time to see for himself, what Nahshon had spoke about.

Jayden stared into space utterly gobsmacked, the first thing that he saw was his physical stats that had almost doubled, he didn't understand how or why it happened.

His increase in strength was gradual and had a certain amount of points added on a daily basis, but his strength had just skyrocketed and actually almost doubled.

'How?!' Jayden finally asked.

[Your body was tempered]

'...'

[The last attack of the Three Headed Blood Reaver had caused your body to break down on a cellular level, and the Creation Orb had healed your body back to the peak, just for it to be broken down again]

[This repeated process had caused your body to forcefully adapt and come out stronger after every cycle, and when you eventually cultivated, your strength stabilized]

[That basically is the reason you have to cultivate after exercising, to get a better boost in strength]

'So that's why, I originally thought you hated me and was trying to make me suffer.' Jayden said with a smile, totally forgetting about his strength increase.

[.... sometimes you amaze me with your dumbness]

'I'M NOT DUMB!'

[Yes you are]

'I'M NOT DUMB!!'

[Yes you are]

'I'M NOT DUMB!!!'

[Yes you are]

Jayden mumbled some inaudible causes at Nahshon and moved to the Blood Reavers corpse that looked as if it was thoroughly drained of blood by a group of vampires.

"Time for the third phase." Jayden mumbled and rubbed his palms together.

He soon got to work and began to dissect the beasts carcass like a seasoned butcher. He seperated the body parts and placed them aside, the torso, hind legs, fore legs and the two barely intact heads.

After that was done, he removed the flesh from the bones and piled the bones in a corner, Jayden picked the Energy Orb and placed it in the center of the battle ground, after that was done, he began to put pieces of flesh on the ground, three meters apart from each other.

The flesh was put in all directions that led out of the area, forming a line that led to an unknown destination.

By the time this was done, over thirty minutes had gone by and Jayden was hiding in an inconspicuous corner, waiting patiently, for the next phase to commence successfully.

As for the new skills he got, they would have to wait, till he was in a safe place to check them properly.
