BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 Special Training
Lying on the ground with a body covered in a thick layer of sweat that made his clothes stick to his skin, Raven\'s chest heaved up and down while his eyes were tightly shut.
\'Fuck... I can\'t move... at all...\' Raven cursed bitterly in his heart as he tried to lift his limbs, only to see that except for an inch he couldn\'t.
His body literally became a waste with all his muscles aching from pain and soreness like hell, some of his fingers even twitching from exhaustion as a result!
For hours straight and without any rest, he did nothing but punched a single piece of equipment with his fist before fighting with Kayn, which despite him having a knife was more of a one-sided beating instead, especially if one looked at the bruises all over his body.
Hell, he even had a long cut running down his lower arm. He got it when he succeeded in taking Kayn off his guard which, according to him, \'triggered\' his instincts.
\'Instincts my ass! Like someone like me could threaten his life only after a few hours of practice!\' Raven groaned inwardly as he opened his eyes weakly, looking at the scar on his arm with pain.
That wound was not something that will heal soon, that was for sure.
"Ha... Haha... Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Suddenly, as Raven was inspecting his injury which luckily was no longer bleeding, a burst of wild laughter snapped him out of his daze and attracted his attention to the side. There, like someone who just heard the greatest joke in his life, Kayn was laughing madly, tears visible in the corner of his eyes.
\'What the hell is so funny for him?\' Raven looked confused but as he had no energy to ask nor did he care, he just shifted his gaze back to the ceiling and closed his eyes, taking a rest after a long while.
...
"Hey. Wake up already."
\'...\'
"If you don\'t wake up don\'t blame me for what I will do next."
\'Uhm... Just 5 more minutes...\'
"Sure, I warned you."
Enjoying his well-deserved rest, Raven was ready to shift his body to the side to get a better position when something hard and big slammed into his stomach with great force, sending his body sliding through the floor.
"Cough... Cough... What the... Cough..." feeling as if the world was spinning around him, Raven grabbed his stomach and began to cough like crazy, saliva uncontrollably flowing out of his mouth.
"That wasn\'t even hard so stop screwing around and stand up already. We have work to do."
Then, feeling a strong hand on his collar stand, Raven watched with disbelief as he was lifted like he weighed nothing and was brought before something he was rather familiar with already; the punching bag.
"Today you will learn how to use your leg to fight. After all, in a fight, not only your hands are your only weapons nor the items in your possession, but your leg also." Kayn said calmly and with a powerful leg swing kicked the punching bag, sending it flying just like he did previously with his fist.
"Just like when you punch, when you kick use your whole body. Now repeat what you saw three thousand times," Kayn said indifferently and took a step back to give Raven more space to practice.
"Kicking? Wait, three thousand times? Again?" although still in pain, Raven straightened his back while his eyes widened.
"Yes. I have already given you enough time to rest so we will continue with your training." Kayn nodded, gesturing at Raven to finally start kicking the equipment.
\'Given me enough time to rest? Just how much time has passed?\' thinking about that, Raven directed his gaze at the clock on the wall, watching as it currently showed 04:47!
\'Almost 5 am?! Wait, if I am right, we stopped fighting just a little before midnight which means...\'
He only got to sleep 5 hours! No wonder why it felt like a blink when he closed his eyes. After all, 5 hours of sleeping time was a ridiculously small amount of time, especially for him who used to sleep twice as long as that!
"From today onward, in the following 2 weeks, you will spend the majority of your time here, training with me." Kayn suddenly said, further increasing the shock on Raven\'s face.
Training for 2 whole weeks? Without increasing his strength, his Avatar Traits by completing Realm Games, gaining rewards, and clearing Realm Domains? No chance!
He has less than 20 days to prepare before that special event, Worlds\' Clash will start, something that is bound to present a greater threat to him and everyone else than the current Realm Games and Realm Domains.
Like, if one took a moment to think, why was it that it will only start in a month and not in a week or right away? It was because everything that so far was happening all around the world was nothing but an appetizer, a \'tutorial\' from video games that showed everyone how things worked and allowed humans to prepare themselves for something even bigger!
One didn\'t have to be a genius to understand this, and this was why when Raven heard Kayn\'s words he almost felt the urge to laugh right in his face despite having no energy for that!
Yeah, while it was true that learning how to punch, kick, and wield a weapon such as a knife could save him from dangers, it was completely useless in the face of a real threat like those massive snakes he faced in the past!
What he really needed now was not how to swing a fist or kick a leg, but real strength which could be only acquired through Realm Games and Realm Domains!
Thinking about this, Raven shook his head and began to walk toward the exit, having understood that he was just wasting his time here.
"I see... As you wish."
Raven was confused when he heard Kayn\'s sigh, but even before he could have turned around he was grabbed by his collar stand and with a strong yank was dragged out of the building.
"H-Hey! Let me go!" Raven struggled to break free from Kayn\'s grip, but it seemed it was useless.
"At least tell me where you are taking m-, urgh!"
Paff!
[You have entered a Realm Domain!]
[All \'Limitations\' now will be lifted!]
"What?" lying on the ground after he was thrown there like a piece of trash, Raven pushed himself up onto his feet and looked around, watching as he was back inside the Realm Domain with the large hotel in the distance.
"What are we doing here?" showing a puzzled frown, Raven shifted his gaze at Kayn who just simply stood a few meters away from him, his arms crossed before his chest rather menacingly.
"I brought you here to prove you only one thing; that you are nothing but a worthless trash, a pig waiting to be slain by others, let it be beasts or not, even with all the strength you have here," Kayn said with indifference and waved his hand.
Whoosh!

"As you can see, my Traits are only average at best. On the other hand, I am well aware that yours are not and they are way above mine."
"Wait... How do you even know that? Who told you that?" Raven asked with his brow furrowed with doubt.
Kayn, however, shook his head and raised his hand, instantly revealing a red ring to Raven.
"It\'s not who, but what. This ring is called Dragon Blood Ring, a Relic I have obtained from a Realm Game. Depending on whose blood falls on it, I can inspect that individual\'s Avatar Traits for 10 seconds."
Then, without any shame, he added, "Curious, while you were sleeping I used your blood to see your strength. And to tell you the truth, I am truly shocked."
"You did what?" Raven blurted out, his face turning pale a little and a cold shiver ran down his spine.
"You had your blood on the floor so I used that to see how strong you really were, that\'s all." Kayn asserted before he sneered and said, "So even before your imagination goes wild, I will say this right here and now, I did nothing to your body while you were sleeping. I am not into men."
After saying that, Kayn ignored Raven, who while nervous for obvious reasons also sighed with relief, and grabbed the knife from his waist before tossing it before Raven\'s feet with indifference.
"You can use that knife as your weapon or you can also take your Artifact out if you wish, in the end, it won\'t matter at all," Kayn said coldly, and even before Raven could have blinked twice he was already in front of him like a phantom!
