=============
His growth had been nothing short of ground breaking.
Atticus’s form leaned forward abruptly, as though he was descending towards the ground. Just as it appeared he might collide face first with the floor, Atticus moved.
The ground beneath him immediately fractured, creating a miniature crater, as he sliced through the forest with unparalleled speed.
Each footfall left a substantial indentation in the earth, and Atticus covered remarkable distances between each step.
His movements were a blur, leaving behind a trail of craters, each one marking the point where his feet briefly touched the ground.
In just a second, Atticus had crossed an astonishing 200 meters. And this was without utilizing burst!
Atticus’s entire focus remained on scanning the surroundings for any signs of prey. And within another heart beat, he pinpointed a youth positioned just 30 meters away from him. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Without pausing or diverting his gaze, Atticus continued his relentless advance. With a mere thought, before the unsuspecting youth could even register Atticus’s presence, an earth spike suddenly erupted from the ground, its sharp tip aimed directly at the youth’s chin.
However, just before the spike could make contact, a golden glow enveloped the youth, causing him to swiftly vanish from sight.
Through out this entire sequence, Atticus hadn’t turned to acknowledge the youth, he had already moved for 100 meters away already before the youth even teleported.
After advancing his bloodline to level 3, Atticus’s connection to the elements grew remarkably.
Before, Atticus had been completely limited to manipulating the earth only when he was in contact with it, and that too was just in a small radius.
But now, Atticus could manipulate the earth any way he wished, even without contact, in a staggaring 50 meter radius.
Atticus zipped through the terrain with blinding speed, his every movement precise and swift.
He was constantly releasing pulses from his mana core, being able to feel, hear, see, and even smell every single thing in a 50 meter radius away from him with complete precision.
As soon as any beast or youth entered his range, they all got an unforgiving earthen spike to their throats before they could even react.

Back in the circular hall, every single one of the paragons’ eyes narrowed into pinpricks; even Aric this time wasn’t excluded.
Such speed! How could a 15 year old accomplish such?
“Ho, Magnus, it seems like you’ve been hiding something from us, huh?” Thorne Alverian turned to Magnus with a slight smile as he spoke.
Every one of the Paragons also turned their gaze to Magnus. It was expected, honestly; who wouldn’t be curious about Atticus after what he had just shown.
While it was to be celebrated any time a once in a generation talent was born in the human domain, unfortunately, despite the alien threat, many of the tiered families had gotten used to being in power for far too long.
The only thing many of them cared about was either dominating their counter parts or, at the very least, maintaining the balance and ensuring that each of them was of the same strength.
But even with all the stares, Magnus maintained his calm, dominating presence, not even turning to look at them. His gaze was fixed on the screen.
Thorne frowned. Despite knowing Magnus’s behavior very well, it still stung blatantly getting ignored like that.
The Alverians and Ravenstein relationship had completely deteriorated over the years, especially during the Ravensteins rampage in their sector.
And apart from that, because Dell had lost to Atticus during the spar back then, the Alverians had lost the bet with the Ravenstein.
Anastasia was completely merciless during the negotiations, making sure to milk them dry. The fact that they had involved her baby in every thing, was enough grounds for her to be that merciless.
Ever since Thorne had heard about Dell’s loss, he had been curious about Atticus.
The rest of the paragons, seeing Magnus had no plans of saying anything, all turned their gazes back to the screens. They were all aware of the white haired man’s personality.
…
The cheers reverberated through the coliseum as the crowd all cheered loudly while watching the unfolding events. 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜
Each one of them kept an eye on the rankings, occasionally commenting and noting down any changes.
But suddenly, “Hey, who’s that?” one random boy sitting amongst the crowd suddenly spoke, and it was as if those words triggered a reaction.
Everyone suddenly turned their gazes to the rankings and saw an unfamiliar name shooting up the ranks.
94… 90… 70… 50… 20… 13… 10…
Immediately it got to 10, everyone swiftly turned their gazes toward the newest big screen that suddenly appeared at the top of the myriad of screens.
Everyone’s gaze focused on a figure of a white haired youth whose other features were completely a blur as he was moving at a speed the cameras found it hard to catch.
Zipping through the forest like a comet, he effortlessly dispatched every single youth and beast he came across with a single strike, all without him even turning to look at them.
After a few moments of shock, everyone turned their astonished gazes toward the rankings.
