Bam! Bam! Bam!
Immediately after Rex's powerful sword attack, blood flew in the training chamber as a deep cut went straight through his ancestor's abdomen.
As the ancestor gasped in pain, Rex ruthlessly took advantage of the opening.
-----
You have activated sword skill: Trident of Ethereal Blackfire
You have activated sword skill: Piercing Stab

While Bam staggered backward, trying to regain his steps, Rex dashed forward like a beast as his sword moved swiftly, echoing his anger.
In 3 smooth slashes that embodied the Trident of Ethereal Blackfire skill, Rex incapacitated this ancestor of his as blackfire started burning through his injuries.
Bam did not scream in pain, he just glared back at Rex.
As soon as he incapacitated him, like the flash, Rex dealt the last blow as his sword stabbed straight through his ancestor's chest.
After this move, Rex released his sword, leaving it on his ancestor's chest as he pounced on him. Since this was a mere consciousness that was left behind, he could not erase it from existence by killing it but he could inflict pain on it.
As soon as he pounced on his ancestor, Rex vented all the frustration and anger that he had been bottling in for the past 3 days.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
His fists descended in tandem like lightning and thunder as he pummeled his incapacitated ancestor, beating his face till it was unrecognizable.
2 minutes later, Bam was still beating him and this was when the ancestor spoke. "Rex, that's enough, you've vented your grievance already…"
"Die, old bastard!"
At this moment, Rex already lost every fraction of respect that he had for this ancestor of his. Pain had an incredible way of changing people and having suffered it for 3 days straight, all he had for this ancestor of his was hate.
"That's enough Rex".
"Get lost!"
"I said that's enough!"
A powerful green energy erupted the next moment as Rex was pushed back, Bam stood up with his injuries already healed as he glared at Rex.
"I allowed you to vent your anger but if you don't appreciate it, I don't mind showing you who is superior here by beating you again".
"I dare you". Rex roared as he sprinted towards him again.
-----
You have activated Master Level Tiajutsu Skill: Green Warrior!
----
After learning and activating the skill the first time, his system already recorded it. As he sprinted back, Rex activated the skill again as he channeled his rage in one focused attack that made use of his lethal sword.
"Fine, so be it". Bam said coldly.
The next moment, a powerful green energy covered his body as his eyes glowed green. He activated all 3 phases of his Soul Rider skill series in an instant.
As soon as he reached the Soul Rider stage, the iconic green bike appeared again as Bam mounted the bike. He no longer had any misgivings having allowed Rex to vent his anger, now he was out to teach this kid manners.
Whoosh!
Even with the speed at which he moved and how attentively he watched his opponent with his zone skill active, Rex only felt the wind blowing.
He thought he saw a green comet moving across as a crushing force collided against his cheek the next moment, Rex felt a few of his teeth shattering from the force as the force of inertia finally acted against him.
Boom!
While coughing blood, Rex flew away like a kite with its strings cut.
When he finally landed, he felt like his face was no longer his. Apart from his swollen cheek, he felt that his skull had fractures everywhere.
Amid the dizziness and pain, Rex acted to heal himself.
-----
You have activated vampire ability: Cell Regeneration!
----
Thud!
He heard footsteps and looked up through the dust in the air.
Bam looked down at him. "You still have a long way to go before you are able to defeat me when I suppress my power to the Advanced grade".
"If I had my full war gear, I would win".
"Don't rely so much on your war gear, the Holmes have ways to neutralize them sometimes. At times, you have to enter a battle knowing that only your personal strength and sword are your most reliable allies".
Bam extended a hand to help him up which Rex refused as he stood up on his own, Bam did not mind. "Congratulations on passing my first test".
"When you complete my 3rd and last step of mastering the Soul Rider, I will give you a gift, the only gift that I prepared for the chosen one".
Rex looked at him without replying.
Bam patted him on the shoulder before turning to leave. "Till next time".
The next moment, Bam's consciousness dissipated into white light as he returned to his statue which was his home.
Rex clenched his left fist and looked down at it. 'Having killed 10th tier Advanced mystic warriors already, I never expected to be beaten so hard'.
Rex sheathed his sword back before leaving the strength training chamber.
On going outside, he did not see Cassandra who already received a tip from Bam. Rex guessed that she was training so he ignored her and returned back to the exclusive training hall where he met Orion Vector's consciousness again.
"Bam told me everything, congratulations". Orion smiled and said as soon as Rex came before him.
Rex gritted his teeth. "I hate him".
"I know". Orion smiled. "You know, he was not like this before, things changed him. After witnessing all your comrades, family, and friends being slaughtered by your archenemy, you change".
"He put you through so much pain because you're his last hope at revenge".
"He's ready to take all the hate if that will make you stronger".
"If you die when facing the Holmes in combat due to him holding back from causing you pain in training, he will not be able to forgive himself".
"He gained strength through pain, so he's only impacting his values to you".
Rex kept quiet. Though he still had not forgiven him, he was still intelligent enough to understand Bam's intentions, he just didn't like his extreme approach.
'What did he go through to become so extreme?' He thought.
At the thought of this, Rex remembered his girlfriend, his childhood friend, and his sworn siblings. 'If I lost them, will I become like this?'
The thought alone sent a chill down his spine, he didn't want to experience it as he clenched his fists. 'If taking all the pain now will prevent me from losing them, I guess I can take it'.
Rex looked up at Orion Vector the next moment then he bowed respectfully. "I understand, thank you for this great opportunity to learn from the strongest experts that graced the massive history of my family".
Orion smiled. "It's your inheritance".
"So, what should I do next?"
"Digest what you just learned". Orion rubbed his long beard. "Over centuries, we learned one thing, fully mastering one was better than barely mastering 10".
"Come back to learn more only when you fully master the Green Warrior ability and can use it to change battle situations singlehandedly".
"Remember, this is Bam's magnum opus".
"Ok, thank you great ancestor".
Rex finally turned to leave but as he left, he paused as a beep notification sounded from one of his communication devices.
Rex picked it and looked at it.
