Green Monster Epic

"Ha!!!"

A heavy strike landed, stirring up a surging storm of energy that surged back and forth within the not-so-wide arena, ruffling the beautiful hair of the goblin legend, Kouer.

Opposite her stood the calm and composed Allen, his hands gripping the long sword hilt in front of his chest, easily blocking Kouer's fierce attack.

On the high platform of the arena, dozens of solemn-faced goblin warriors sat, their eyes fixed on Allen and Kouer's movements, unwilling to miss the battle between the two legendary figures.

These high-ranking warriors from the Green Field Tribe were the elite of the new generation in the Muir Fortress, and they cherished the opportunity to personally witness a battle between legendary powerhouses.

The attack failed, and Kouer, rebounded into the air, spun around, dragging a heavy sword somewhat similar to the Bone Cleaver, instantly transforming into a steel whirlwind and attacking once more.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Bone Cleaver in Allen's hand transformed into a solid and sturdy wall, his wrist constantly twisting and shifting, using skillful techniques to block the blade storm transformed by Kouer's Wild Tempest Sword Technique, his movements appearing exceptionally effortless.

Kouer's combat skills were indeed proficient, but lacking the enhancement of legendary specialization in terms of speed and strength, her moves were merely visually impressive, unable to exert much pressure or threat on Allen.

"Teacher, go! Go, teacher! Beat him! Beat him!!"

"Teacher, go!!"

A series of discordant voices disrupted the solemnity of the arena, as a small group of 4-5 young goblins on the other side of the platform cheered for Kouer while leaning on the railing.

The two figures constantly shuttled back and forth, stirring up storms of energy within the arena, dazzling the group of goblins in the stands.

"Alright, today's training ends here!!"

Allen's arm shook, the muscles hidden beneath the leather armor constantly wriggling, transferring the accumulated power in his body to the Bone Cleaver, instantly pushing Kouer, who was grappling with Allen, away.

"Oh!!"

Even after living alone in the Graveyard of the Damned for more than a decade, Kouer's pursuit of power had not changed, the only changes perhaps being that her pockets were always filled with countless snacks, and that she no longer liked being alone.

After more than half a year of training in Green Lake Town, Kouer, believing she had made considerable progress, brought her newly acquired students and traveled over the mountains like a spring outing to Muir Fortress to ask Allen for advice on some of her confusions and techniques.

The students were all descendants of Kouer's acquaintances, including the young granddaughter of her good sister Irene, the earth goblin Bruce, who was just over 7 years old, as well as Marvin, the descendant of the earth goblin Barrington, who had once been close to Kouer and almost became her partner, and so on.

The benefits of being associated with a legendary powerhouse for goblin descendants were self-evident, so when Kouer returned to Green Lake Town and enthusiastically contacted Irene, Stoneborn, and others, these goblins took the opportunity to stuff their talented children into Kouer's care as her students.

Although Kouer's personality was boisterous, she understood the thoughts of her former companions, but compared to the no longer pure feelings and relationships of adults, Kouer preferred to be with children.

Therefore, Kouer, who also no longer liked being alone, gladly accepted the students that everyone gave her and taught these innocent goblin cubs in her spare time, according to her own ideas and experiences.

"The Perfect Physique legendary specialization greatly enhances the physical body, you should spend more time and effort on this if you have time, other legendary specializations can be put aside.

If you have time, go to the sea west of Mansha Quarry to train, don't always stay in town."

Allen began to point out the problems in today's battle to Kouer, fulfilling his duty as a teacher.

Over the past year, Allen himself had rarely traveled around, instead stationed in Muir Fortress, examining the changes in his strength after advancing to the high-tier and the choices for future improvements, while also constantly improving and planning the tribe's long-term development.

"As for combat skills, you are too focused on the flamboyance of the moves, but ignore the practicality of combat, which is not a good habit."

"Every bit of strength must be controlled as much as possible, converging into a single point and line.

Don't vent too much anger outwards, as that will weaken the power of the moves…"

A group of high-ranking goblin warriors walked down from the stands in an orderly manner, surrounding Allen and Kouer, silently listening to Allen explain various techniques.

Although the various techniques Allen was talking about at this time were not something they could fully understand, let alone apply to actual combat, who would dare not concentrate when there was such a rare opportunity to personally experience the combat skills and pressure of a legendary powerhouse!

Several young cubs were very clever and did not come down to disturb the adults' learning, but instead looked at the teacher below and the teacher's teacher from the high platform with pure eyes, full of reverence and longing.

"For example, like this…"

As he spoke, Allen suddenly pointed into the empty space between people, and a faint wave of anger passed through the wall of people, instantly appearing on the cast steel target stand at the other end of the arena.

Thud!!

The loud sound of steel reverberated throughout the arena, startling several cubs in the stands and filling the surrounding warriors with awe and horror.

They did not even notice the energy changes contained in Allen's finger, but a gray-white mark on the distant target stand revealed the power of this finger.

Kouer's eyes flickered with light as she nodded repeatedly in agreement, while a large amount of anger and a faint pressure constantly emanated from her body, the constantly fluctuating waves increasing the pressure on the surrounding goblin warriors.

"Don't experiment here, these techniques require you to train persistently and transform them into bodily instincts before you can fully control them."

Allen stopped Kouer's actions, and as Kouer regained her senses and reined in her anger and pressure, the surrounding goblin warriors breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, Allen suddenly understood that Trick's suggestion to have him specially train those members of the tribe who might break through to the legendary realm in the future was indeed necessary.

"Teacher is so amazing!!"

"When I grow up, I want to fly like teacher!!"

"Good, good, good!!"

A group of clever little devils, seeing that the tribal chief Allen's lecture time was over, immediately flipped down from the stands and surrounded Kouer, chirping and shouting.

Around them were a group of middle-aged and young goblin warriors in their prime, full of fighting spirit, plus Allen and Kouer, who could be considered old guys, and the empty arena had already gathered representatives of three generations of the Green Field Tribe.

Allen was very gratified, the scene before him was so warm and full of vigor, and he seemed to see a bright future for the Green Field Tribe.

After Cole led the children and the team of goblin warriors away, the arena returned to silence. Allen stood alone in the center of the arena, a blazing orange flame gradually erupting from his body, making him look like a human-shaped torch.

Concentrating his mind and calming his breath, the soaring flames gradually receded, and the substantial anger was constantly compressed. The orange color also became darker as it was compressed, gradually evolving towards a scarlet hue.

Until a layer of solidified anger was squeezed from a gaseous state into a liquid state, constantly rolling and surging on the surface of Allen's body, Allen's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and his closed eyes quickly opened. The anger that had been under control finally became a wild horse running wild, erupting towards the surroundings of the arena.

Swish! Swish, swish!!!

The entire arena was enveloped in a massive energy storm, and even Allen's sparse hair was blown into disarray.

"Alas!!"

Sighing softly, this experiment had failed once again. The massive consumption of mental energy made Allen look somewhat tired.

Since advancing to the high-tier of Legend, especially after the breakthrough of the Perfect Physique skill, Allen's strength had made even greater progress. But to say that there was a qualitative leap compared to the mid-tier of Legend would be too optimistic.

However, whether it was just an illusion or not, as the high-speed growth period of his strength ended and his physical potential was almost completely developed, Allen always felt that the massive amount of anger within him seemed to have undergone a slight, subtle change.

This experiment was Allen's exploration of the changes in his anger. He used his powerful mental energy to control and condense a large amount of anger together. Originally, the anger, which felt like a gas constantly flowing through his body with his blood in his mental perception, was constantly compressed under Allen's powerful control, and eventually began to evolve towards a liquid state.

Unfortunately, trying to manipulate a large amount of anger and compress it was still very difficult, even with Allen's current strength. And the biggest obstacle to condensing liquid anger was that it could not be sustained. When Allen's mental energy slightly relaxed or was excessively consumed, the anger would revert from a liquid state back to a gaseous state, causing great damage to Allen's body.

Allen had been collecting information on how powerhouses above the demigod level break through, but he had not obtained anything very useful so far. The temples had always maintained a unified stance on this knowledge, resolutely refusing to disclose any information.

Therefore, Allen had once again returned to a state of confusion regarding the path ahead, and everything had to be explored by himself.

Although the road ahead was unknown, Allen always had an intuition that the slight changes in his anger might be the biggest difference between a demigod and a Legend in the future. This was not without basis. The only time he fought a demigod in Mansa City, Allen felt that the energy density under the opponent's moves was higher, and the destructive power that could be caused was also stronger.

Of course, these were just Allen's guesses. In that fight with Lord Bricken, the opponent's mental pressure almost crushed Allen's, and in fact, it was far more different than the application of energy.

It was better to rely on himself than to ask for help from others. Allen had long been accustomed to groping in the dark, and each failed experiment was the cornerstone for him to move towards success.

Readjusting his mood, while his mental energy was weak, Allen took out a bottle of dark, unknown potion from his dimensional bag, frowned slightly, and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the potion entered his mouth, Allen completely released his control over his body. A corrosive energy quickly spread from his stomach and chest to his entire body, followed by waves of pain, directly attacking Allen's heart.

"Hmph!!"

A look of pain appeared in Allen's eyes, his steel teeth clenched tightly, and a muffled groan escaped from the corner of his mouth, and his body trembled accordingly.

The 'Embrace of Pain' potion was originally a poison prepared for those spellcasters, but now it had become a tool for Allen to temper his next Legend skill - Iron Will.

With the complete control of the Perfect Physique skill, Allen could choose another skill to train and learn. Compared to the previous dilemma of only learning whatever skills he had, the dozen or so Legend skills that Allen had plundered from the Agina tribe's treasury and Birel's dimensional bag after annexing Agina, allowed Allen to not have to worry about the problem of skills for the first time. Instead, he could choose the skills that were more suitable for his own body to learn.

The Iron Will skill, as the name suggests, was a tempering of Allen's will and mental energy, allowing him to greatly increase his resistance to various mental spells. The reason for choosing this skill was that Allen had carefully considered it.

Warrior-type professions do not actually pay too much attention to mental energy, because they do not need to perfectly construct a complex spell model through mental energy like spellcasters. However, Allen had suffered from being controlled by mental spells such as fear spells and charm spells. Although he also had the Mechanical Mind attached to the Iceheart Armguard, which could temporarily increase his resistance to such spells, the Iceheart Armguard could only cast the spell effect twice a day, and the spell level was low, which was somewhat backward for long pursuits and protracted battles after the Legend level.

Allen had never liked to entrust his life safety to external objects, especially since he also knew that there were many spells that could dispel the magical effects cast on him, or simply destroy his magical items. Rather than fighting with spellcasters with trepidation at all times, it was better to prepare for various unexpected events in peacetime. This was the concept that Allen had always been implementing.

Moreover, the experience of being directly crushed by the mental pressure of the demigod Bricken in Mansa City also made Allen feel that it was necessary to strengthen his shortcomings in mental energy. Intuition told Allen that the future breakthrough to demigod was related to the state of anger, but in countless attempts, changing the state of anger required the assistance and control of powerful mental energy.

It could be seen that if he wanted to continue to move forward, then mental energy was also the direction that Allen needed to improve next.

In the end, Allen chose the Iron Will skill, which was related to mental energy, from more than a dozen Legend skills as the direction for his next stage of learning.

And the Embrace of Pain potion that Allen was using now was to strengthen his will in a state of weak mental energy through the torture of his body, so as to make his spirit as strong as steel and unaffected by external objects.
