Chapter 72: Becoming A Tier 4 Axonn

Exhilaration!

A Tier 6 or even a Tier 7 Axonn wouldn't be able to resist such temptation and elation, needless to say a Tier 3 Axonn like Atlas!

Borus was probably planning to use it after the fight and spend some time stabilizing his cultivation progress, but now it lands in the hands of Atlas and Nova.

It would be extremely logical for a lower tiered Axonn like Atlas to receive a low grade Tier 3 Ascension Pill. But a high grade one? Medium tiered and higher tiered Axonns would be pissed when they such treasure wasted on minimal talent. They would literally gang up on Atlas and rob him clean.

"Atlas, you should take it." Nova patted Atlas's shoulder sincerely, furrowing his brows with genuine and openness. "Since you are already a Tier 3 Axonn, you should accept it and be promoted to a Sea Arena member as soon as possible for the benefits they serve."

A string of gratefulness and gratitude strummed in Atlas's heart. Isn't this what bros are for? Caring and watching each other's backs?

"Thanks bro. But I think you should receive it instead." Atlas rejected this generous offer politely, passing the box back to Nova.

"Ok. Thanks!"

Nova answered without hesitation and Atlas watched unbelievably as Nova opened the box and threw a whole pill into his mouth.

"Woah! This is not how the story goes man! First, you will decline. Then I would be reconsidering. And after that we would finally drop to a conclusion to split or something like that..." Atlas was so confounded and thrown, speaking so hastily that he staggered over his own words.

"Hahaha!" By the side, Percy has already fallen onto the ground once again, but this time laughing and snorting hilariously. "Mr. Atlas! Ya played yourself!"

Nova also chuckled, revealing some black gooey melted substance in his mouth.

"Oh you piece of..." Atlas snatched away the box with rosy cheeks, slicing the safely preserved golden Ascension Pill into two perfect portions. "If you don't want its energy to expire, you better eat it now."

Feeling the strong blast of Aura emitting tastily, Atlas gulped intensely. He open his mouth and shallowed the Tier 3 High grade Ascension pill.

Immediately, Atlas sat down crossed legged, concentrating on digesting the incredible and horrifying burst of energy within it.

The moment it dissolved in his stomach, a powerful stream of energy inflated in every direction, causing Atlas to tremble furiously.

Atlas is currently in quite a shock.

No wonder Tier 3 High Grade Ascension pills are mainly designed for higher tiered Axonns! This rampaging force is unbearable for low tiered Axonns like him! And it is under the circumstance that he has already split it into half, or else it could have been double the force. It would have been extremely risky if he ate the whole intact pill without any precautions.

Even half of its energy is giving Atlas a hint of suffocation! But the shock in Atlas instantly changed into sheer grit.

Atlas still underestimated the impact of a High Grade Tier 3 Ascension Pill, for as the immense volume of Aura ramming through his body and meridians are causing his body to swell.

If it weren't for the naturally wide meridians he is born with, his mentor forcing him to bath in mysterious buckets of medicine for hours when he was younger, and the improvements that the horrifying pain had previously done to his body, he might as well be exploded into a storm of flesh and blood from the tornado within.

Even with all those characteristics, the pain is just too excruciating!

Imagine feeding a tiny baby a large bowl of rice during a short meal, whose daily appetite can be fulfilled with a few small scoops of rice. How can a baby take in that much?!

Atlas is experiencing that exact same torture.

Getting stuffed to the brim with Aura is every Warriors wildest dream. But when actually experiencing the happiest dream he can ever receive, Atlas came to the realization that this 'dream' is a full on nightmare.

Cruel! It's too cruel!

To think about it, he may be the first and last luckiest doofus to die from overeating Aura in the past few decades. There still may be idiots who die in this rather weird manner in the future. But as for now, Atlas can stay proud and unprecedented!

Massive beads of sweat bolted down Atlas's forehead as the grueling pain of tearing engulfed Atlas. He utilized every ounce of remaining energy in him to channel this raw Aura into his meridian to tackle the border that's preventing him from intrusion or exchanging it into usable Aura that solely fits him.

Finally, the trembles began slowing down and the twitching of indications of pain has almost ceased.

Almost simultaneously, another burst of apocalyptic coercion rippled out Atlas's body, sending the shelfs in the tiny bunker crashing over one another.

With the increased twirls and rapid rotations of the gaseous Aura from the dissolved Tier 3 High Grade Ascension pill, Atlas could feel his own Aura gaining and reaching a point of culmination.

A wave of feather lightness showered Atlas as according to reports from the meridian, the Aura assigned have shown great progress, penetrating the wall that stands between being a lower tiered Axonn and a medium tiered Axonn; the specific category where an Earth Arena member can become a Sea Arena member.

A loud roar of freedom and excitement escaped Atlas's lungs as new power veiled him once again, exerting an even more powerful presence.

This presence, similar to tons of mass from a waterfall crashing down, like it is a whole new level of craziness and strength.

It is way more powerful than ordinary Tier 4 Axonns'!

The skyrocketing cultivation process has yet to stop.

The Aura has spiraled hundreds to thousands of times like a restless machine, continuing to provide and transport Aura into Atlas's system.

A silent click efferent from Atlas, yet another symbol of an Axonn hitting the next fence and breaking through. Tier 4 Tyro Axonn into a Tier 4 Expert!

Atlas unsealed his space black eyes, dazzling blindingly like sharp piercing daggers, discreet and deadly.

Controlling and circulating the Aura through meditation, the reaction has finally come to an end as all energy has been sucked completely dry, not a single morsel of raw Aura from half a Tier 3 High Grade Ascension Pill left lingering in Atlas's stomach.

[I made it out alive.] Atlas thought as he huffed out a humid and pungent air, feeling as if his inner organs have been cleansed thoroughly in a way as in thrown into the washing machine to clean.

After reaching the rank of Tier 4 Expert Axonn, Atlas still isn't proud and ignorant enough to say that he could confidently defeat Borus one on one now, but at least even without the aid of Kraig, a Tier 6 Axonn, he wouldn't be trapped in a crisis. With Nova beside him cooperating, they may be capable of defending against an uninjured Borus.
