I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 538: Third Placement Match

Returning to the lobby area, Nash began to review the previous battle.

Merging with the Celestial Beast, his control of the elements was nothing short of perfection.

As long as it was within his range of power, he could control elements like his arms and legs.

"The lower rank seemed to be just like that." Nash thought.

The first battle was still fine. As he only used his raw physical power, the enemy could still fight back.

However, once he got a little serious, his opponent couldn’t even last a minute.

Nash estimated that to have some challenge, he needed to fight those within the late stage of Bronze Rank or at Silver Rank.

"I just hope the next placement match has some challenge."

Tapping on the panel, Nash went on to his third placement match.

[Third Placement Match...]

[Kevlar: Void Marshal

Rank: Bronze 75]

"Oh? I skipped up to Bronze 75?"

From Bronze 25 to Bronze 75, the jump was too massive.

It seemed his previous instant win rebooted the selection process of the Chronos Arena.

Using his runic detection, Nash also confirmed his enemy was on another level.

[Kevlar: Void Marshal

Base power: 80 million

Elemental Core: 1615

Sublimated Element: 1320

Estimated power: 1.068 billion]

"This should be some challenge."

Even with all his Celestial Beasts, the power Nash could muster was only 775 million.

Against such a monster who had already sublimated almost all elements, Nash was still a tier below.

Meanwhile, seeing Nash, a measly Void Venerate before him, Kevlar was a little shock.

"How did you get here? Did the Chronos Arena lag?"

"You’ll know soon!"

Knowing he was not a match for his opponent, Nash went all out.

Merging with all 725 elemental celestial beasts, Nash’s combat power quickly shot up to 775 million.

"So this is why. This should be interesting." Kevlar muttered, licking his lips.

In full concentration, Nash began to gather the elements not only in his body but also in the atmosphere.

"Your control of elements is superb. Unfortunately, it’s not enough~" With a snap of his fingers, it was as if the elements shunned Nash, disobeying his orders.

With greater mastery of elements, Kevlar could drag all elements around him.

Earlier, Wind Hero was too arrogant and careless, that he died without mustering any of his strength.

However, Kevlar, having reached such a high rank, knew cautiousness was first in a fight.

To reach such a level as a Void Venerate, Nash might be even stronger than the usual opponents he faced at the same level.

Brandishing the power of sublimated elements, Kevlar didn’t wait for Nash and quickly attacked.

"It’s indeed not easy." Nash sighed, increasing his attention.

While he couldn’t win the tug of war to control the elements, Nash’s affinity toward them was still superior.

Reading all their movements, as they shot toward him, Nash dodged like a leaf against a hurricane of wind.

Taking his chance, he clenched his fist and lunged toward Kevlar.

"Heh~ I got you!"

As if anticipating his movement, Kevlar caught Nash’s hand, pulling it toward him as his other hand headed toward Nash’s stomach.

"Now it’s over!" Confident in his strength, Kevlar knew it was over for Nash.

What he didn’t notice was that the person before him started to fade as another clone appeared at his back.

By the time he noticed something amiss, pain suddenly smacked his head.

Bam~

Shut out at the edge of the Arena, Kevlar felt his consciousness in disarray.

However, not wanting to lose in such a disgraceful manner, Kevlar instinctively stood up and retreated to another side.

Regaining his consciousness, Kevlar finally saw two people, one was the one he caught and was about to fade, while the other was the one who attacked him in the back.

"What is this? A Genetic Ability? No, is it a soul materialization?" Kevlar guessed.

Given Nash’s ability to merge with elements, this one should be the materialization of his soul.

"You’re quite tough." Nash praised, seeing his opponent still standing.

Just now, he’d sacrificed one of his Celestial Beasts, swapping positions in an instant.

As manifestations of the element, they could travel around him unnoticed in an instant.

He thought he could quickly finish Kevlar, but who knew he could recover so fast.

Feeling his body about to assimilate into elements, Nash quickly charged toward his opponent and performed another attack.

Kevlar also wasn’t about to be beaten back.

Learning his lesson, he turned alert to any of Nash’s tricks while he attacked.

Soon, as seconds and minutes passed, after exchanging dozens of attacks, Kevlar noticed another horrifying fact.

Nash seemed to be merely toying with him, trying all kinds of skills! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Hmph! Don’t try to underestimate me!"

Not wanting to be a sparring partner, Kevlar turned his attack up a notch.

Mobilizing all the elements around him, the world seemed to darken.

With a leap in power, speed, and skill, Nash, who had having leisure to test his abilities, quickly turned serious.

Feeling his throbbing heart, he had a premonition that he was about to lose.

With his instinct screaming danger, Nash activated the [Combat Module System] without hesitation.

Then, before his mind could think, his body exchanged positions with not one, not three, not five, but eight Celestial Beasts!

Like a relentless bull, no matter where Nash was, Kevlar was always on target, determined to kill him.

"No, this can’t go on."

As time passed, the number of Celestial Beasts he had was dwindling.

Although he could recondense them, by the time he did so, it would be too late.

As a minute passed by, a hundred Celestial Beasts were already out.

Feeling a large chunk of his power vanishing into thin air, his mind began to spin faster and faster.

Nash didn’t want to just rely on the [Overlimit Module System] once he couldn’t take on his opponent.

In this battle, he would rather lose than use a trump card he was supposed to save for life and death.

Soon, as he lost another hundred Celestial Beasts from sustaining each of Kevlar’s critical attacks, an idea suddenly formed in his mind.

"Scatter!"

Instead of merging with the Celestial Beasts to continue his useless defense, Nash scattered every Celestial Beast, spreading them throughout the arena.

"So this is the entity that was sustaining your attacks!" Kevlar muttered, finally seeing what caused his attacks to fail.

Feeling their brimming power of elements, purer than all he had seen before, Kevlar was filled with amazement.

"Are you ready for round two?"
