My Muscles Adapt 10,000 Times Faster

Magus Reynold stood up. He was expressionless. His visage, awe-inspiring. With a stomp of his staff, the world at the center of the large stadium vanished.

Just as the students were shocked to see this, the ground suddenly trembled as it opened up like the mouth of an abyssal beast.

"Rumble!"

A massive battle arena rose to the skies, reaching 300 metres in height and 3000 metres in width as it stood there menacingly.

To see such might of a magus again, Tron's heart was moved. This only reaffirmed his heart that his path was correct. He must repair his arcane cortex and become a magus!

"100 candidates. Only 30 among them can pass this entrance examination and officially become a Mage

"From the initial 300, to the final 30. A one in 10 chance. This ensures that only true geniuses can become student of the Dark and academy!

"The path of a magus is fraught with risk. One has to challenge the earth, the world , one's self for the truth! Unless one has tremendous potential and perseveres, one cannot embark on the magus path. Otherwise, all that awaits is injury and death - a waste of life!"

"All who can stand here, understand the severity of your choice! I shall say no more."

"The rules of the simple, everyone must ensure they remain on the same standing on battle arena within the time frame. If they are beaten down, pushed out or surrender, they will be considered eliminated. Remember that you must not kill. To not obey this rule means you will defy the academy's authority, and my authority, I won't stand for it that."

"When there are only 30 left on the Arena, the battle will be over. Aside for that, the there are no further rules. Everyone can team up, or fight individually if you sole wish."

It seemed simple, but it was actually very risky. A chaotic battle was the true fight of the Magus Path. No one had eternal friends or enemies. One must always depend and guard against everybody else.

Those remaining might not be the strongest 30, but those 30 had to be exceptional in some way. Even hiding successfully was also a skill.

"Of course, if only that were the case, then this would be meaningless."

Magus Reynold said, laughing himself. This also aroused their curiosity.

"There's an additional mission, which is to obtain the Arcane sphere. Today, we have prepared three huge rewards for the disciple who obtains the Arcane sphere. Firstly, whoever obtains the Arcane sphere immediately joins as a student. If at that time the Magus Royale battle is not over, they can also leave early. Of course, this is immaterial. More importantly are the two treasures.

Firstly, a Super position potion."

Hearing this, the crowd gasped. The Super position potion was a genuine magical potion. It was valuable beyond price! Breaking through from level 9 Acolyte to a Magus would be several times easier depending on one's talent.

That was something that even Mages like Daphne, who was still a First Rank Magus, longed for!

"The second object is a bronze-tier magical weapon, the Spatial Rend Blade which possess embedded spell called Spatial Cut and can even compare to a normal silver-tier magical weapon."

Silver-tier weapons are weapons that could only be used by Rank 1 Magus. Because only they possess enough mana to feed the weapon.

Tron's eyes burned. That was infinitely better than Megaton Blade that system had given him. Even right now, he had dumped it in his room as it would severely affect him if he carried it.

The Spatial Rending Blade is way better than ordinary bronze-tier weapons and even equal to regular silver-tier weapons with a first circle spell embedded, it was simply a perfect for Tron.

This time, since he possessed mana but couldn't control it manually, weapons with embedded spells in them were simply god-sent.

Super position potion, Spatial Rending Blade. These two things were coveted by students of the academy such as Xavier, and Roselyn and his gang.

"Obtaining the Arcane sphere occurs concurrently with the Magus Royale battle. Whoever can take the Arcane sphere and hold on to it for 1 minute is deemed the owner of the Arcane sphere.

"Once it is snatched away, when taken back, the time begins anew."

"If there are 30 people left and the Magus Royale battle ends with no one in possession of the Arcane sphere, then I will keep the Super position potion and the Spatial Rending Blade."

Magus Magus Reynold concluded his announcement.

And then the Magus Royale's battle formally began!

* * *

The Magus Royale's battle was different from the Immortal's Path and the Darkbane Arcane World Royale.

The Arcane Path was just a test of one's mana control and level.

The Darkbane Arcane World Royale was about slaying beasts within a closed environment.

The Magus Royale would be a savage melee under 10,000 pairs of eyes.

At the same time, the Super position potion and the Spatial Rending Blade were huge prizes that left all the candidates restless for the Arcane sphere.

To make your name in one battle and earn the prizes.

No one would pass on that temptation.

Tron was the same.

The so-called Arcane sphere was currently in the hands of the Arch Magus. It was a white sphere, that contains towns, city, forests, rivers and mountains within. It was also like a mini world inside of the sphere.

What Tron and the rest needed to do was hold the Arcane sphere for 60 seconds of time, and then they would win it.

Of course, they had to ensure that they could still remain on the Magus Royale.

10,000 gazes seared hotly. This was enormous pressure, and many candidates could not withstand such stress.

And there were the elite Acolytes seated in the skies.

"The moment the Sphere drops from my hand, the battle begins." Magus Reynold's voice rang through the entire hall.

"Huo!"

The nervous moment finally arrived.
