Ancestral Lineage

Chapter 28 Time's Up. A Battle That Will Start His Legacy 1.

It had been a month since Ethan awakened, and a lot had changed in this short time. He diligently trained his Telekinesis, accumulated willpower, and achieved enlightenment in his innate cultivation technique, further boosting his progress. He had also created his martial arts technique, Darvohin—a comprehensive system that combined the fundamentals of various martial arts, parkour, and more, perfectly suited to his Weapons' Constitution.

Tomorrow marked his first battle, where he would also have to read an apology letter to Clara for accidentally kissing her.

Currently, it was morning, and Ethan was deep into his workout routine. He was running up and down a small hill, carrying a large rock the size of a bus tire and weighing 100 kg, while checking his progress bar.

Ethan Smith Junior

- Race: Mixed Human

"They're weaker than those in the Beast Plane. This is too easy. Let's just aim for a pass."*

Ethan summoned Angitia and shared his strategy with her. As his attacks drew the attention of the pack, the beasts retaliated with wind-infused assaults. He dodged, got clipped by a few attacks, and managed to take down five more before retreating into the forest to regroup.

In the end, he successfully killed 15 beasts, leaving the AI with the impression that he was exhausted. He passed the exam and received a permit to prepare for his duel the next day.

Later that day, as he walked through the hallways, he encountered Leon, the notorious bully.

"Look. Isn't it Weakly Ethan?" Leon sneered.

"Oh, hi there, Tyrant of Simps. How was your day?" Ethan replied, feigning indifference.

"You dare act arrogant in front of me? Kneel and lick my boots, and maybe I'll go easy on you..."

"Meh. Your boots aren't worth my tongue. You'll have to pay for that privilege. Besides, I'm not a SIMP."

"You!"

"What? Angry already? Picking on someone because of a girl? That's your excuse? You're just a low-level coward, a tyrannical simp."

Leon was speechless. "Wha..."

"I don't have time for chit-chat. Good luck tomorrow and give me a good fight..." Ethan scoffed, leaving a dumbfounded Leon behind, along with a crowd of onlookers.

With that, he headed to the cafeteria for a meal, then went home with Trevor. His goal was to boost his mänə accumulation to 100 and raise his willpower to around 80-85 before the battle.

That night, Ethan immersed himself in cultivation, preparing not just for a duel, but for a battle that would define his legacy.
