Heaven's Greatest Professor - Chapter 123: Total Invulnerability

When Warden woke up, he immediately felt something different about himself. They were in some cave far away from the mountains, or so it appeared. A pitch-black darkness enveloped the surroundings as Warden groaned while attempting to sit upright.

He found his clothes in disarray—dried blood, sweat, and all sorts of disgusting things filled his armour and equipment. Warden felt repulsed by the terrible stench emanating from his body. Was that why there was nobody around him? Did they fear the stench more than the Drakes?

It seemed so.

Warden chuckled and decided to focus on finding out what had happened with all the cathartic experience. He summoned his system to review the notifications he hadn’t had time for.

_____________

He had a new tab for boon now.

[Void Vanquishing Physique: Unique | Progress: 1%

The Void Vanquishing Physique grants invulnerability to poison, curses, or tainted energy. With this physique, you can even survive in space. Your entire structure of physique has been altered to something superior to operate with more power, energy, and aura. At full attainment of the Void Vanquishing Physique, your body will be superior to any gold rankers.

Total Invulnerability: For 6 seconds, you can be invulnerable to any attack.

+50% Efficiency to Strength and Dexterity.]

“Only for 6 seconds,” Warden muttered. And then finally, his eyes fell on the whole thing. Wait for any attack? Even an attack from a transcendental Ranker?

The 50% increase in strength and dexterity was more than welcome. With this, he was exactly 50% stronger now in them. Well, the exact math could be more or less, but he was too delighted to think about all that. Honestly, anyone would behave disappointed if they did not receive such benefits after that cathartic experience.

And with all the benefits Warden received, he was more than willing to go through it again. The weakness that always lingered in his core finally subsided by a large degree by this breakthrough.

Still, being invulnerable to poison and tainted energy alone was already a significant benefit that most people would kill for, but Warden got so much more out of it. And that was not all.

[The Void Energy capacity has been raised to 15%. Your body has been forged to handle void energy better.]

Warden couldn’t wait to have a fight with those darn lizards again. He would fuck them up real well this time. To be honest, he wouldn’t have had to run away before if there was no metamorphic experience. It sure would have been difficult, but Warden was sure he could deal with them taking his time.

He stood up, only to find that his body was heavier than usual. It didn’t make it difficult for him to carry himself, but he somehow felt more substantial than before. With 100 points in strength, he wouldn’t have much difficulty carrying, even if he weighed twice as much. But that was a different kind of weight on him now. He was like more… divine?

Oh right, I forgot about the radiance power that helped me through the whole altering process, Warden thought. When he checked his status page there was no mentioned of it, although everything about him seemed to have improved to some degree.

Warden was sure he hadn’t been mistaken about the radiant power, which was like the unique power of the Celestial. Perhaps it was a safety mechanism of the body?

Warden would need to talk to June to find out more.

Warden found a whole barrel of water waiting for him as he walked around a bit to find others. Honestly, Warden didn’t think the water was enough to clean himself properly, but he did as much as he could, using all the water he had. This dungeon was not a place to have a lot of water, so Warden was delighted that they bear to give away a whole barrel of it.

Finished cleaning up and back into his attire, Warden crept a little further as the smell of roasting meat came to his nose, almost forgetting about the reek. He was diabolically hungry, and could eat more than what they had roasting in the fire. Looks like my appetite hasn’t changed much.

The stench he was oozing out seemed to catch their attention, as all of them turned towards him.

“Took some time for you to wake up,” Jason said. “But then again, I was asleep the whole day too, after receiving my first boon.”

“I was asleep the whole day?” Warden asked, stunned to think it would take so much time. Then again, the stress he went through was unlike anything before. Even the experience in the Phantom Accuirsed Valley could not compare to it. It paled in comparison.

All his muscles had undergone breakdown and reformed once again in a superior form. Even his channels for supplying void energy had changed to endure the 15% capacity limit, not to mention the boon he received.

“A few hours less than that,” Jason said, “though I thought you would take a couple of days, considering you went through that while fighting with the Drakes. Good thing you are not injured.”

Warden nodded as he crouched down near the fire. “So everyone receives these boons when their strength reaches 100 points?” Warden asked, though it seemed self-explanatory. “Why did no one tell me this?”
