The Heaven defying technique was of three- sword, martial arts, and an energy manipulation technique.
The Heaven-defying sword technique was of three levels: the basic, advanced, and demonic levels. He had received the basic level of the sword technique.
The basic level consisted of four formations one needs to master before going to the next level. Right now, he only had the basic level, and while reading through, he found out it was quite complicated.
"If the basic level is this hard, then I wonder how the next level would be," he said, scratching his head.
Without wasting much time, he picked up his katana blade and started following the steps in the manual. He spent his time learning the first formation and was exhausted by the end of the day.
He walked back to his dorm. His shoulders drooped down as he walked across the hall. Getting to his room, he slumped on his bed and slept off.

The free day given to them was finally over. Will had waken early for his first day. He discovered Issaiah had left already since his bed was empty. He quickly headed out and met up with Dren and Belle.
They all walked to their first class for the day. They were among the last few ones who entered the classroom before the teacher walked in.
"Good day, class. Today, we're going to be talking about the history of earth."
Urghhh! The class groaned, some dropping their head on the desk. They had already been taught about the history of how the present earth came to and were quite disappointed since they expected to begin training right away.
"As you all know," the teacher said, ignoring their complaints. "Thousands of years ago, the world was without abilities, and humans were at war with each other at that time. Everything changed when the world was invaded by demons."
The humans united and faced the demons but were unable to fight them. Back then, a demon could destroy several cities with ease.
The demons were so strong that the humans were unable to do anything. The human race was in great danger as the demons killed and captured anyone they came across. Thos3 captured were turned into slaves and used by the demons.
During their darkest hour, they were saved by angels who battled the demons. The war finally ended after much struggle with the demons defeated. Every demon was killed along with their emperor.
Although the war was finally over after countless years, the ruins and the aftermath of the war were clear. Only a quarter of the world's population was left, with the world left in ruins.
The little population left decided to do away with their previous scuttle and lived peacefully.
After some years, the world went through changes. Humans went through an evolution, shedding their former selves. Animals mutated, turning into mindless blood-killing beasts.
The humans unlocked supernatural abilities and were able to stop the rampaging beast. Through these superpowers, they started rebuilding their world and achieved great things with their advanced technologies and the rest.
Through research, it was found that the residual energy from the clash between the angels and demons had caused the evolution of the inhabitants of earth.
"OK, class, that's all for today," the teacher said, walking out of the classroom.
That was the only class they had attended for the day. Others spent the remaining day in the training room honing their skills.
The next day came, and Henry was the one who had entered the large hall.
"Your first assessment is around the corner, and there's a goal to reach to participate.
You all must cross through to the advanced realm to participate in it."
"What!" The students exclaimed as the class started to get rowdy.
"Silence!" Henry shouted, quelling the noise. Those unable to reach the goal would be sent back to their region.
Hearing this Will couldn't help but frown. After all, passing through the middle stage to the peak stage was quite hard work. Then again, crossing into another realm required not only rigorous training but also a high comprehension of one's ability.
Will right now was just in the middle realm. He decided to check on his fellow comrades to see their progress.
"System, activate [ Analyse ] skill."
[ Name: Belle Morbius ]
[ Ability: Fire, ??? ]
[ Realm: Peak Middle realm ]
[ Name: Dren ]
[ Ability: shadow manipulation ]
[ Realm: Peak middle realm ]
"Shit! I'm the only one behind," he mumbled with a frown etched on his face.
"The time range is just three months. You all have three months to break through into the advanced realm or at least the peak stage of the middle realm," Henry finally concluded before walking out.
The majority of the class had reached the peak stage of the middle realm, yet the hall was in silence, taking in the information they had just heard.
Everyone quietly headed out of the class, some heading towards the direction of the training building while others headed back to their dorm room.
"C'mon, I haven't been to the training building since I have been here," Dren said as he held onto them, pulling them forward.
They all walked to the training building with Dren rambling along the way. Belle and Dren quickly registered before heading to the second floor.
"Let's try the Vr pods," Dren suggested, walking towards one of the pods.
Just as he was about to open it, another hand shot out roughly pushing him out of the way.
"What's that for," Dren said furiously, stepping forward.
"It's mine, go find another one," the guy said. The boy was clothed in a white robe, his green spiky hair and bulging muscle giving him a menacing look. From his dressing, Dren could tell he was from the Eastern region.
As the guy was about entering, Dren held onto his cloth, pulling him towards him. With a frown, he struck Dren's hand freeing himself. They both stood, glaring at each other.
"Won't you go and help him out. Maybe resolving the issue," Belle whispered in Will's ear.
"I'm sure he can handle it on his own. There's nothing to worry about," he said with a yawn.
They had garnered attention as everyone was staring towards their direction. Soon, a group of students dressed in white robes approach them, surrounding them.
"Hey, Nate, what's going on?" One of them asked.
Tsk. "C'mon Dren, let's go," Will said, pulling him.
"Who said you should leave, huh?" The guy said, gripping Will's hand.
Will looked up, his eyes turning into slit.
"Get... your... f*cking hands... off... me," he said with a growl.
"And what if I don't?" He said, tightening his grip. A crunching sound was heard as Will's bone broke under the intense pressure.
Will punched his face with his free hand, and then, with a quick spin, he grabbed hold of his head and slammed him onto the ground.
The rest of the group glared at him as they readied themselves to attack.
Tsk. "It been long I gained any exp point, I might as well make use of this opportunity," he thought as he readied himself.
The guy who he had slammed down was beginning to stand up. His eyes were bloodshot as he cleaned the blood dripping from his nose.
"I'll make you pay," he said, bringing out a dagger. With a roar he charged towards Will, his dagger set at his front.
Just as the guy was halfway, a hand gripped his wrist and threw him to the ground. It was a hard hit as the guy was unable to get back up.
"Issaiah!" Will said with a surprised look. They weren't given enough time to talk as the rest charged at them, hoping to avenge their comrade.
Will stood alongside Belle, Dren, and Issaiah. They were all set for the impending attack as they also drew out their weapons. The students around didn't intervene but rather gathered around, forming a sort of ring.
The first one to reach them was viciously struck down by Issaiah, with his form streaking towards the rest.
"He's... fucking strong!" Will muttered as he dashed forward, not wanting to let go of this opportunity.
