Chapter 983 - Test of Strength
Even though Kiat had hoped to spar with Jason, it was not like he could use his entire strength because it would be unfair.
His cultivation base was two grades higher than the young halfling's, and his experience owing to his old age was far higher too.
Because of that, he couldn't help but smile lightly when Jason truly asked him for a spar.
Seeing that Jason was serious, he didn't outright refuse him and nodded his head.
It was only at this moment that his soulbonds stopped fighting, at once.
Their movements were in perfect sync, and without even a second of hesitation, they charged toward Jason before returning to the soul world.
All of them knew that Jason required them and the ability to undergo a soul fusion to reach his highest combat prowess.
Even without them, he was powerful enough owing to his Celestia bloodline and the high soul amplification of around 55%.The speed was too fast, and with a swoosh, Wang Xuan was pulled into the whirlpool, like a little crucian carp that had been hooked and was violedntly pulled out of the water.
Still, he was able to reach a much higher level of strength with the support of his dear and most trusted soulbonds.
Perceiving their willingness to help him out, Jason smiled before he said,
"I'm sure you want to restrict your strength, but please pressurize me as much as possible. I want to figure out my limits!"
The Sacred Elvyr just nodded his head when he heard this.
He was not allowed to seriously injure Jason because it would only further postpone the Queen's plan to cleanse Lyina.
As such, it was only obvious for him to restrict his strength to Jason's level, which he understood.
But even then, Kiat had to ascertain how strong the young halfling had become.If your dare to fish against him like this, no matter if it's a strange thing on a mobile phone or that ferocious giant fish, you'll have to pay the price.
After all, there might be times when the security around Jason could be flawed.
Nobody was perfect, and it was better to know the strength of the one that they had to protect.
Based on his strength, They could tweak their means of protection much easier with the procured intel, making things easier for them, and also Jason.
"As long as we don't destroy the mansion or any runes, the Queen wouldn't mind us fighting here." Kiat said in an amused smile and shrugged his shoulders.
This made Jason smile as he had already sensed something weird between the Queen and Kiat.
However, it was not his business to meddle in their personal matters, so he simply let them have their privacy.
Nodding his head, he manifested a spatial portal in front of him, before turning to Kiat.A fisih is mocking him!
"How about we move ahead a hundred kilometers and spar there? There are plains ahead, so we won't have to worry about destroying the surroundings and fight freely."
Revealing his heightened proficiency with the spatial affinity, Jason simply stepped through the portal he had created.
Kiat followed suit only a moment later, his eyes trained on the young halfling's back.
'I thought he had only focused on practicing the Kanadi of a Primordial technique in the last decade? Did he switch his focus to comprehending some elemental affinities as well?'
He was pretty sure that Jason's control over the spatial affinity was quite high, meaning that he must have practiced quite a lot.
If Kiat were to find out that Jason had gained the necessary experience from being in a soul connection with Aren, he would probably puke blood.
In the decade where all of his soulbonds had been deeply connected to Jason, he had learned a lot.Then, it was noisys and motionless, instead of reviving here, it chose to disguise it.
Not only had he refined his entire being but the deep connection he had gained with his soulbonds, and Jennifer allowed him to make use of their experiences.
This was something miraculous but also very beneficial as Jason could save lots of time through this.
At the same time, there were some other things that had changed through the deepened soul connection he had with his soulbonds.
But that was something he wanted to show Kiat in their spar and take him by surprise!
Thus, while lowering several hundred meters above the flourishing plains that had a bright flower field, Jason smiled lightly.
Excitement spread through his body, and he couldn't help but be eager to find out how strong he had become.
It was just a matter of time before the spar would start and he would know either way.If ones piece of sword energy can't solve the problem, then take a few more pieces. Wang Xuan is going to kill it.
Yet, Jason felt like he was unable to wait anymore, which everyone around them clearly noticed through the Celestia aura that expanded over several kilometers, releasing the joy and excitement he felt.
Influenced by the emotions that swept within the Celestia aura, the corners of Kiat's lips curled upward into a smirk before he restricted his strength to the peak of the Ascendion stage.
His instincts told him that even though his experience was much higher, restricting his cultivation base to the same stage and rank as Jason would be suicidal.
After all, even the most understated rumours about the Primordial races pointed out that their most basic strength was, at least, three times higher than those at the same cultivation base!
Underestimating Jason would only lead to him being defeated in a humiliating way.
Avoiding this was quite important.
But in the end, Kiat still believed that Jason should have been unable to reach the combat prowess that was on par with a Specta stage Cultivatior, even if it was only at the initial phase.
With that in mind, both descended to the ground before Jennifer initiated the countdown of their battle.
"Everyone ready?" She first asked, and upon seeing that both Kiat and Jason nodded her head, she began
"3 …
2 …
1…
Start!"
The moment Jennifer stepped back, tremendous currents of mana were released from both the opponents.
Kiat enveloped himself with wind currents that were manifested out of mana and lesser divine energy. A moment later, he manifested dozens of compressed spinning wind spears which he shot through a spatial portal.
He had manifested the spatial portals only for a quarter of a second.
But that was more than enough to spread them through the surrounding area, before shooting them at Jason from all directions.
The speed of the spinning wind spears was shockingly high, and easily shot past the threshold Specta stage beasts could reach.
Even the destructive power of the spears was much higher than an ordinary attack of a being at the Peak Ascendion stage.
However, all of this didn't stem from Kiat's overuse of his energy, but from his experience, and precise control over both the wind and spatial affinity.
His attacks were extremely dangerous, and if Jason were to make a single move, he would be punctured by the spears, ending up heavily injured.
Kiat was fully aware of this, but he wanted to live up to Jason's excitement and pressurize him enough to make him reveal his highest combat prowess.
He wanted to test Jason's strength, which was exactly what the young halfling wanted to happen as well.
As such, Kiat didn't hesitate to use his extremely high speed and wind affinity along with the lesser divine energy in order to arrive in front of Jason.
Both of them had been more than a kilometer away from each other at the start of the battle, and it nearly looked like Jason hadn't moved yet.
But this was not the case, at all.
Instead of remaining idle, and unmoving, Jason had already fused with Petri, making large black scales grow out of his entire body, followed by a seven-meter-long tail that smashed on the ground.
A second stigma manifested above his right eye, which glowed brightly, while the Celestia aura was slowly changing.
The change of his aura was not world-changing but it was clearly gaining in density and potency.
Golden strands that looked like veins appeared on the scales, connecting with each other, forming a golden stream of sorts that flowed around the reptilian golden eyes to which Jason's eyes had turned.
ᴘᴀɴ ᴅᴀ ɴ ᴏᴠᴇʟ The silver touch in his pupils merged with endless darkness while the golden iris began to glow brightly.
Within moments after the battle had started, not only Kiat had initiated his first attack, but Jason had done so too.
However, instead of focusing on using his curses and the abyssal effect against the Sacred Elvyr, Jason decided to make use of his affinities and high physical strength to overpower Kiat instead.
After all, Jason could tell that his current physical strength rivaled beings far stronger than the opponent right in front of him.
To Kiat's misfortune, Jason's raw strength had long since reached a far higher threshold than the Sacred Elvyr had predicted.
What he didn't know was that Jason's brute strength before the decade of refinement had already been four times stronger than anyone at his cultivation base…and that was without the usage of his unique traits.
However, right now, after having refined his entire being thousands of times, while his soulbonds had cultivated relentlessly, Jason was polished like a diamond.
He was far more powerful, and more determined than he had ever been before.
