Chapter 34 I Will Train My Body And Soul!

After reading all of the descriptions of his skills, Derick couldn't wait to use the Training Ground feature of his training system. But first, he needed to know what the Training Ground feature was before he would use it.

'System, can you show me the description of the training ground feature?'

After receiving Derick's command, the training system showed the description of the training ground feature.

[Training Ground (XXX)

Feature Description: A training ground built by a training maniac with the use of various materials and concepts.

Feature Effect: The user of this feature will be able to create another dimension where the flow of time in that dimension is two times faster than in the real world. In other words, spending two days in the Training Ground is equal to spending a day in the outside world.

Feature Effect 2: Inside the Training Ground, the user has complete control over the environment and other aspects within it. The creation of any training equipment and other training-related gadgets will be within the user's authority as long as the user is inside the Training Ground. The user can also simulate the environment of the Training Ground to be suitable for training.

Feature Downside: The user will age twice as fast in the Training Ground when compared to the usual aging process in the real world. For example, the user will age for two years after spending two years in the Training Ground despite it only being a year that had passed in the real world.]

Reading the description of the training ground feature, Derick wanted to use it immediately.

'If I train in the Training Ground every day to complete the requirements of Baldy's Training Regiment, wouldn't I unlock the physical limiters of my body in just a year and a half instead of three years?'

Thinking about the possibility of being able to unlock his physical limiters earlier than he had expected, Derick couldn't help but be filled with hope and anticipation.

As for the feature downside, as usual, Derick ignored it. For him, it was normal that such a powerful feature had its downsides. Nothing was free in this world and Derick had adhered to such a philosophy in his life.

But then, he remembered something.

'Wait, so what if I unlocked my physical limiters? My body might reach godhood at that time but I will still be vulnerable to mind and soul attacks.'

'At first, I ignored such a weakness since there was no way that there would be someone on planet earth who could use supernatural powers. I thought that the only thing that could threaten me in this world was nuclear bombs but now, I have to worry about mental and soul attacks.'

Thinking about that, Derick couldn't help but feel depressed.

​ Even if he somehow became the god of strength a year and a half from now, someone with a mental or soul attack could easily kill him.

He had already known that not only he but other humans had awakened their mana and skills. So it was unlikely for those humans to not have mental or soul skills.

Not to mention, some monsters would invade planet earth and there was a possibility that they also possessed mental and soul skills.

If it was only a mental skill, Derick wasn't that worried. After all, to resist mental skills, one must have strong willpower.

And to train using Baldy's Training Regiment, the trainee must have strong willpower. Since Derick could use that training regiment, then he possessed strong willpower.

In other words, unless it was mental skills at a very high level, it would hardly pose a threat to him.

But the soul skills were a different matter. Derick didn't possess any defensive skills or artifacts that could allow him to resist soul skills.

While Derick was slowly sinking into depression, the system's cold and robotic voice rang in his mind.

[You don't have to worry about that. Now that the training system has been updated to version 2, you can now use two training manuals at the same time.]

[As long as you complete a task from the system, you will receive a training manual regarding the aspects of the soul.]

Hearing the system's reassurance, Derick was filled with hope again as he let go of his depression.

"When will I receive a task? I can't wait to train both my body and soul!"
