Chapter 120: Speech and Prize giving Day.
P.O.V - David.
They began a fine onslaught that was so refreshing to watch.
For a moment I believed.
Maybe they could...
But then...
Suddenly the Viper hits them all away with its tail.
Just as it seemed like they might win the Beast turns the tide.
With one eye gone it hits them all hard sending them crashing hard into the walls.
It turns its gaze to Hwa who was trying to get up.
She was panting as blood dripped from her body.
Almost too fast for me to react it dashes at her with its mouth wide open to chomp her down.
I was just about to use the blood when I suddenly see a war hammer slam down the head of the beast to the ground.
It was Beom.
He was panting and still bleeding but he was moving...How???
He slammed down the head of the beast shouting it's jaws and pinning it to the ground.
Hwa panting and bleeding stretches forth her left hand.
She uses her mana to wrap the head of the beast holding it down in place.
Nari rises and with and angry look on her faces she dashes round the pit at incredible speed,n trying to build momentum.
She kept pushing until she reached a whooping top speed of around MAC 20.
With that speed and momentum with her two daggers she attacks the neck of the beast from behind.
The cut was deep but not enough.
"Conan!!!" Nari yells as she falls to the ground.
Hoon rushes and catches her before she hit the ground, she had exhausted all her Ki.
Conan shakes off the dirt on his body as he rises up.
He rises facing the side of the Beast.
Before him was a beast whose head was pinned down.
Its neck open for him to slay, a serving on a platter.
"Hurry!" Hwa says as she strains her Ki to hold it down.
"I can't hold on for much longer." Beom says as blood flows down his mouth.
He was truly roughed up.
I stand there watching them, my heart beating extremely fast.
'Please, please win.'
Conan picks up his sword and begins to concentrate with his eyes closed.
Suddenly his sword is enveloped in a fiery Golden Ki.
He opens his eyes and they glow a fine golden light.
He dashes towards the beast in the air and with a downward strike at the point Nari had struck previously.
He lands a heavy fine cut that splits the neck of the beast, dividing its head from its body.
The Separated body of the Viper begins wiggling around hitting the sides of the pit.
"Shit! it's going to collapse!" I exclaim as I leap into the pit.
I pick them up one by one and throw them out of the pit.
The last person was Conan who seemed to have passed out from using all his reserve.
I pick him up and leap out of the pit just before it crumbles.
I place Conan gently on the ground.
Looking at them all roughed up, bleeding, panting and even some unable to move, I... I felt proud.
This was their first true life and death situation.
From here on out, their growth will be tremendous.
I had Ae-Cha heal up Conan a little so he could wake up.
I once tried to learn Ae-Cha's healing technique.
Though I didn't get it I kinda devised something from hers.
I created a technique that could heal those who were connected to me.
That is, those who had learned the Heavenly Blood Absorption Art from me.
Since the Heavenly Demon who activates this Art and the one who has learnt it are connected, this technique works on that principle and only those who have practiced the Blood Absorption Art from me can be affected.
This technique heals them as long as they around ten meters from me.
Since I lack a Dantian, with just External Ki by myself, the effects aren't really solid, so for proper efficiency I need them to be cultivating so they can draw Ki into area which I can therefore use.
That is why I need them awake.
They all sit in a circle around me and begin cultivating.
With the vast amount of Ki being drawn in I activate the technique.
Gradually their wounds begin to heal and their fatigue slowly fades.
I call this technique 'Void Panecea'
It took about fifteen minutes to fully heal them all.
After those fifteen minutes I rise to my feet.
Silence echoed in the forest as they all stare at me.
"I want to say one thing, and that is, you all have made me proud."
"Going through all that rough training you all held through.
You have overcome obstacles I have placed in ur ways, you all have shown potential and growth.
You have all showed me your resolve and this is the result...
For the three years of training, you have all passed successfully."
As I say this the children get all happy and excited.
Some shouted for joy while some a smiled silently.
They hugged each other and giggled amongst themselves.
"Now, let us first return to the cave."
They get up and we all return to the cave.
As we arrive we infused Ki into the Crystal Orbs to lighten the cave.
I let them have some fun for a while.
"Alright then, everyone gather around."
They all stopped what they were doing and walked all the way to me.
"Alright, sit round everyone " I say to them.
They each begin to take their seats around me.
After they had all sat down I began to speak.
"Well for the completion of this three years course I have prepared a little something for each of you."
I pull out a book from my storage ring.
"Ae-Cha, your healing abilities are incredible, your fighting skills are nice but your damage output is low, so for that, I grant you this Martial Arts technique." I say as I hand her the book.
"It is called the Ice Geometric Martial Arts, it's a martial arts that multiplies your attack the more you Master it, one day you could reach a stage where you could destroy a mountain with the flick of your fingers.
This should help you deal better attacks.
Practice Well."
"Th...Thank you Master." She says as she collects the book.
She looked happy, I'm glad, she must have also been bothered about her weak attacks.
"Now, Byeol, for you, this is actually very drastic Martial Arts." I say as I pull out another Manual.
"You are quite fast, and your reflexes are top notch, you are also very flexible therefore, I bestow upon you this Martial Arts" I say as I hand her the Manual.
"It is known as Bone Slithering Martial Arts, it increases reflexes and flexibility, it may not seem valuable right now but when you Master it, you will understand it's true value, you could one even he able to move your organs within your body without complications.

"Th...Thank You Master." She says as she collects the Manual.
"Now unto you Hoon, you insight far contradicts your carefree and loud attitude, you can access and pinpoint key details to certain situations and also possible come up with a solution.
Your mind is vast, I still do not fully understand the concept of your abilities but I shall grant unto you This Martial Arts."
"It is known as the Jade Eyes Martial Arts.
It enables you to be able to read the path of your opponent in a fight and also be able to react on time.

"Thank You Master." He says as he receives the Manual.
"Now unto you Hwa, you the youngest with the most abundant Ki, with your control and skill I bestow upon you this Martial Arts."
"It is known as the Great Azure Lightning Martial Arts.
As the name suggests, it grants you the ability to wield Lightning, it also grants a great increase in speed, It may seem simple right now but it is not, someone without a vast amount of Ki like you cannot practice this.
One day you could be able to command the weather and call down pillars of lightning from heaven.
Practice well."
"Thank You Master." She says as she receives the Manual.
"Now unto you Beom, our shield and tank, your sturdy stature and great endurance helped a lot in the last battle.
After some thinking I decided to bestow upon you this Martial Arts, it is known as the Great Platinum Martial Arts. It grants you a stronger skin and do not fear, your skin wouldn't get hard and rocky or anything like that, it just becomes more impenetrable.
And not just you skin, even you muscles, it is said that you could reach a stage where your body gets a thousand times stronger than Diamond without using Ki. Practice well."
"Thank you Master." He says as he recieves the Martial Arts.
"Now unto our speedstar, Nari, your most valuable asset known to all, your speed.

Practice well."
"Thank You Master." She says as she receives the Manual.
"Now, Last but not the Least, Conan, a steady and fine swordsman. I bestow upon you the Divine Dragon Swordmanship, I don't think I need to explain what its about.
One day you could possibly split the heavens with a single sword draw.

"Thank You Master." He says as he receives the Manual.
"Now that that is done, I want you all to practice those Martial Arts well, I want to see progress as soon as possible Ok?"
"Yes Master!" They shout out in response.
"Good, now earlier I had told you all that there would be a prize for the top two disciples from this training right?"
They all sit looking at me quite anxious as I say this.
"Well, the time has come..."
