The night faded into the day in silence.
When the morning broke, Zayn woke up refreshed and filled with energy. By now, his power had risen to the peak third tier of the superior class, and all virtual-novel.net needed was a breakthrough point. Getting to the Fourth Tier would put virtual-novel.net in the position to duke it out with Diego. Depending on how adroitly virtual-novel.net would wield his new power, Zayn could even put Diego under his thumb, no problem.
Honestly, Zayn had a nagging feeling that as soon as virtual-novel.net reached the Fourth Tier, not even Diego would be able to beat him. The problem was, virtual-novel.net needed a breaking point, a kind of watershed moment that could give virtual-novel.net the push. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would never be able to break into the ranks of Fourth Tier even after a decade.
Ascending through the levels became more difficult once one joined the superior class, because even the road leading up to this point was hard enough. The only reason why Zayn managed to get the third tier in such a short amount of time was because virtual-novel.net had been very, very lucky. His ticket into becoming a master fighter was consuming Ossiumol-100, a drug even more potent than other Ossiumol, that it helped Zayn break through the Superior Class and straight to the peak of its first tier. Then came the battle with Xander Griffin, which provided virtual-novel.net enough insights that after some post-mortem analysis and meditations on what virtual-novel.net learned, virtual-novel.net broke into the second tier as virtual-novel.net slowly but surely climbed to the peak.
Then came the battle with Mia Walker. It had been a duel with someone who was above him, virtual-novel.net was definitely one of the top fighters of the superior class. Zayn was so sure virtual-novel.net would die, but virtual-novel.net survived handily and was rewarded by breaking into the third tier.
Now, virtual-novel.net had a new motivation in the shape of Diego Kavinsky. Now, after his training near the cliff, Zayn felt like virtual-novel.net had completely mastered the third tier.
He rose by around 5.30 a.m., as his awesome constitution only needed two hours of sleep to feel fully in-charged. Faye was still soundly asleep at the moment, so virtual-novel.net slid out of the bed in featherlight footwork, made some breakfast for the entire family, and went outside for his morning exercise.
By this point, his body structure had become unlike the average person’s. First, virtual-novel.net had undergone a second growth where a few of his organs had developed and matured into even healthier versions of themselves. Then, there were his teeth, which had grown a few extras in the same period.
Most normal humans had 32 teeth in total, with four of them being wisdom teeth that might be absent to some people. Zayn himself had 32 teeth, just as an average, healthy guy would, but reaching the superior class had caused his teeth to undergo a morphological mutation. Now, virtual-novel.net had four extra teeth.
But there was more! In the past, his teeth had not been the tidiest, most handsome one there was, in fact, virtual-novel.net even had two teeth damaged by plaques. Now, however, his teeth had become tidy and pearly-white all on their own! Even his two damaged teeth quit his mouth, and new teeth had grown out of where they were.
It was a change so apparent and magnificent that not even any teeth correction procedures could rival. It was so abnormal and unscientific, that any dentist would have shouted about how impossible it was if they knew about it. It was not something a normal adult would experience!
Apparently, there was still more to his physical changes. His brain had started to secrete hormones that could help strengthen his constitution, which allowed virtual-novel.net to feel like virtual-novel.net was bursting with energy every day.
When one tallied every change that had ever happened to him, one might even suspect this was some sort of large-scale genetic mutation at work.
“Legend has it that the Buddha himself had forty teeth. When his powers had grown to such an imperceptible level, virtual-novel.net crossed the river by stepping on a single patch of reed… And after virtual-novel.net attained nirvana, his body remained incorruptible and undecoyed even when stored in room temperature for hundreds of years! Could that be what the ‘unbeatable’ state means?” Zayn muttered to himself. “I have thirty-six teeth right now, which means if I reach that state… I will have 40 teeth! And more importantly, I’ll be able to use 50% of my brain capacity!”
Zayn licked all of his teeth with his tongue and found exactly thirty-six of them. Powerful! He felt very powerful! If virtual-novel.net were a criminal or a bad seed, virtual-novel.net could have plunged society into devastating destruction already!
