Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 63 63. The Mountain Cliff trial

Aiden looked at his panel and frowned.

'It's not enough.'

His stats appeared more and more inadequate the more he looked at them. There were only two things that could help him right now: Ambrosia and Divine Credits. Find more to read at empire

Ambrosia was obviously used to increase his level and divinity, and Divine Credits were the hard currency of the world of the gods. They could be used to buy various treasures that could increase his strength and other attributes, as well as redeem new divine techniques.

Aiden suddenly started feeling a great regret about his theory exam score. He had just let a great haul of Divine Credits slip through his grasp just like that.

'No, I can't just sit down like thiss. I have to earn some more Divine Credits as soon as possible.'

Aiden quickly stood up from his seat and reached for the door, but when his hand touched the handle, he suddenly froze.

Aiden now realized a major problem.

"Wait a second, how exactly do I even earn Divine Credits?"

It was quite embarrassing to have only realized it this late, but Aiden was clueless on such a major thing. He had been so focused on mastering his divine techniques and increasing his strength that he had spent zero time learning how to earn Divine Credits.

Aiden's face turned ugly, and as he was frozen at the door in confusion and embarrassment, the handle he was holding suddenly turned, and the door swung open.

A figure appeared in front of Aiden and looked at him strangely.

"Aiden, what's wrong with you? Is anything going on?"

Oliver looked at his friend, who was now frozen with an ugly expression on his face, in complete confusion.

The sight of Oliver snapped Aiden out of his stupor, and he eventually recomposed himself.

Aiden just looked at Oliver and sighed.

"Something is going on. I'm broke."

Hearing this, Oliver was confused.

"Broke? How?"

"It's simple. I've got no Divine Credits. I used them all already."

Hearing this, Oliver quickly understood what was going on. After having just received his first reward of Divine Credits, he understood just how useful and important these credits would be in his life at Olympus Academy.

Even though he had just been rewarded some Divine Credits, after realizing what they could do, Oliver himself had already been thinking about how to earn more Divine Credits.

Knowing what was going on, Oliver looked at Aiden and smiled as he spoke.

"Well, Aiden, if you're stressed out because you can't earn Divine Credits, then you're in luck because I might already have a solution."

Hearing this, Aiden's eyes shone with a golden light.

"Oh? And what is this solution?" asked Aiden eagerly.

"You know how I've been doing some research in the library these past few days?"

"Yeah, you've practically been living in that place."

Hearing this, Oliver chuckled.

"Well, all that effort wasn't for nothing, and I finally pieced together some secret information. It has a lot to do with the mountain cliff trial we underwent on the first day at the training camp."

Aiden was surprised at a certain phrase that Oliver had said.

"The Mountain Cliff Trial again?"

When Oliver heard Aiden speak, he was slightly confused.

"What do you mean, again?"

Aiden didn't hide any secrets and quickly explained.

"Well, I've recently received some information that there's more to this cliff trial than meets the eye."

Oliver looked at Aiden, and he couldn't even close his mouth.

After watching Aiden's performance at the arena all those days ago, Oliver had been greatly stimulated, and he had been basically living in the library, not only revising for the theory exam but using it as a method to research ways to increase his strength.

It was only after checking many books and double-crossing records that he came across this knowledge.

Yet somehow, despite avoiding the library like it was a cursed land, Aiden had just simply received this information for free? What sort of luck was this?

Aiden saw Oliver's stupefied face and quickly cleared up his misunderstanding.

"I only received some vague hints. There was no actual concrete information, so for all intents and purposes, I'm basically blind when it comes to the specific details."

Oliver nodded his head and continued.

"Searching the historical records available in the library at the training camp, I got a rough understanding of the situation surrounding the mountain cliff.

The cliff appears to be a landmark, but it's more than that. It appears to be distorting space around it. This means that the distance we see from the outskirts to the true mountain peak is just an illusion.

The true distance inside could be tens, if not hundreds, of times the distance visible to the naked eye."

Once Aiden heard the news, he took a deep breath.

The world of the gods was just full of surprises.

Another great wonder beyond his comprehension had been living underneath his nose just like that.

What made it worse was that he had even entered the realm multiple times, but he had still not felt any strange change. And he probably would have never noticed it either if Oliver had never mentioned it!

Slightly alarmed now, Aiden knew that he had to spend more time learning about his surroundings and quickly asked Oliver.

"Is there anything else important worth noting?"

"Of course there is. The area around the mountain cliff forms its own realm and is split into three sections: the outer area composed of the trial grounds, the inner area filled with dangerous domains, and the mountain peak, which is rumored to contain Rank 2 monsters."

Aiden frowned.

Rank 2 monsters were no joke. The Lion King was a strong monster that shouldn't be taken lightly, and that was just barely classified as a monster nearing the peak of Rank 1. A true Rank 2 monster could only be way more terrifying.

Unfortunately for Aiden, Oliver wasn't finished bringing in the bad news just quite yet
