Chapter 255: New look
In the forest...
A young handsome boy could be seen sitting in the cross-legged position on a treasure-mat that was placed on the ground. This mat had voidstones which glowed and emitted a form of energy that made this young boy feel relaxed.
Then around him could be seen long ribbons of golden swordforce energy that began to revolve around his figure.
Emitting brilliant golden light that dyed the earth around him golden, and emanating the power of sharpness that caused even the air at some points to slash apart, the energy began to flow into his body. And once it entered his body through the pores of his skin, it turned into wisps of energy that flowed down his energy veins to his energyhouse. Then in the instant that it entered his energyhouse, it infused into his golden core of swordforce energy.
Several hours later, he opened his eyes.
Then he stood up from the mat and kept it into his spatial ring.
This boy was Alex.
At this moment, he had cut away his long womanly hair. So what he had now was a low cut, which made him look more manly than before.
Then, when he still had that waist-length silky black hair, he could be partially seen as a woman. But now, with that very long hair cut off, he looked like a man.
Also, a dull red band could be seen worn on his head, but parts of his shortened hair covered it from view. While a large silver blade and a violet broadsword could be noticed hanging on his back.
He wore a thick black jacket which was unbuttoned to reveal his impressive, well-built chest and abdominal muscles, and a thick black trousers that couldn't hide the size of his powerful quadriceps which caused the trousers that he wore to stretch to the extreme, despite their thickness.
Then boots that were exceedingly fashionable in appearance, and gave a tremendously costly look, could be seen on his legs.
Those were actually treasure-boots, but they didn't look like one.
This was because the voidstones of the boots weren't revealed to anyone, as they were hidden within the boots.
Alex had changed his look and his style of dressing.
He wanted to look more domineering and fearsome. And his previous smile had disappeared. Besides, he now looked cold and unfriendly. He looked like one who would immediately pull out his sword at the slightest provocation.
When he was done with his sword-energy cultivation, he left the forest and headed back to the town.
On his way back to the town from the forest, he met a group of fifteen students on the way. They were here instead of the academy to gather battle experiences.
They saw him and began to deeply wonder why an unaffiliated cultivator would dress in a way that would invoke fear in anyone. This was supposed to be the way that powerful geniuses who came from wealthy families and studied at academies should dress, not a rogue cultivator who they fully believed shouldn't be able to afford the fees of studying at a cultivation academy.
"Hey, how dare you dress like that?" One of them suddenly asked.
Alex stopped and looked at this person.
"If I were you, I would mind my own business" He replied with seriousness in his tone.
Haha!
The person that asked that question laughed raucously.
"And what if I don't? What the heck are you going to do? As you can see, I am from an academy. So I would definitely have more powerful battle techniques than you stupid rogue cultivator" The student said and grinned.
Alex gave a ruthless smile.
"Oh really! So you wanna duel with me to find out?" He asked with a sense of mockery in his tone.
"Well, I would want to. To put you in your frigging place. Anyways, I am here for something more important than dueling with you dumb rogue cultivator. I can't bring myself so low to battle with you. So, SHOO! Go away like the chicken that you are and don't you dare look back or else..." The student said in an arrogant manner and then ended his statement with a threat.
Alex gazed at him with a rather vicious smile in his face.
Swoosh!
He appeared before the student that spoke from the distance that he was at a tremendous speed, and then used one of his hand to lift him into the air by the neck which he powerfully clasped.
Every other students' eyes widened from shock.
Such insane movement speed. He simply vanished and reappeared like a ghost.
Then they quickly brought out their treasure-weapons.
"Drop him or get ready to be destroyed by us" One of them said.
Alex looked at this person that spoke, and back at the boy that he clasped at the neck.
Bang!
He threw a hard fist at the boy's chest and this sent the boy flying into the distance.
What?!
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Then abruptly, their swords and blades began to glow, which then rapidly unleashed great amounts of numerous types of energies that shot towards Alex as solid energy-attacks.
Powerful offensives formed from fiery energy, wind energy, earth energy and so on, shot towards him at blazing speeds.
Alex didn't try to dodge the massive furious attacks shooting towards him as he sent his fists out at them.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!...
All their attacks shattered into smithereens, which then turned into slivers of realm-energies that returned to the realmverse.
"My turn" Alex said.
Then his eyes turned cyan which abruptly caused unusually strong winds to manifest.
Then with a shocking movement speed, he dashed towards each and everyone of them. And when he got to their fronts, he sent out incredibly powerful slaps that launched them into the far distances.
A few seconds later, the powerful gale that had suddenly appeared ceased.
Alex then went on his way without looking back.

- Green Coal Town -
In a particular street...
A group of people that were buying items from a large shop in the street were discussing with one another.
"Finally, the rumor has been confirmed. Well, I don't know if I should say it's a shame or not as the academy has said that the boy who took away the purity of their Great Holy Daughter is the one that would marry her in future. And that, although what she did was quite shameful, they don't really have a problem with it as the boy who would be her husband in the nearest future, can be said to be the best of the elite cultivators in the city, which simply means that he is a peerless genius at the cultivation stage that he is at. He is unparalleled. So they are happy at such a development and don't really care about what everyone would think about the shameful deed that their Holy Daughter committed." Another person said.
"Hmm. But this would spark up great wrath in every other academy in the city. Such a statement that he's the strongest genius in this city, would simply, extremely provoke every academy. How would they just claim that he's the strongest genius at his cultivation level? Without a battle? How stupid and outrageous is that? They are simply belittling the geniuses of other academies with the trash that they announced" Another said.
"Well, they are also going to prove that to everyone of us by a grand battle that would take place at the city's center." That person replied.
Everyone's eyes then widened in great shock from what the person said.
"Really? They are going to do that? Olivia's lover is going to battle all the geniuses from all the academies in the city?" Someone that was buying an item hurriedly asked with astonishment in his tone.
"Yes. It's going to be grandest battle that we have ever seen" That person said.
"Damn! Is her lover really that strong? It would be a great disappointment if he's knocked off the stage at the second or third fight" Another person said with surprise radiating off his gaze.
"Haha. Well, I don't know about that. We can only go to the center of the city on that day to watch them duel on the battle stage. At that time, we would know if he would be knocked off the stage at just the second or third battle that he would participate in. However, I choose to go with what the Great Holy Daughter said, that her lover's strength is unfathomable. And because of that, he is superior to all the geniuses from all the academies in this city. Haha. Such crazy statement. Therefore, I believe that he wouldn't be knocked off the stage at just the second or third battle" That person replied excitedly.
Everyone's eyes shone with awe.
Is the guy really that strong to be seen as a superior genius in the city? They hoped so. And they hoped that Olivia wasn't just saying these things to remove the dirt that would be attached to her name because of the shameful amorous deed that she committed.
Then they too began to anticipate the battle.
"So when is the battle going to take place?" another person asked.
"Well, they are making preparations for it. And they are giving other academies enough time to prepare for the grandest of all battles ever. So, just put out a listening ear, the time for the battle would definitely be announced to everyone. Haha. I wouldn't miss it for any damned thing in the world. I want to see the Great Holy Daughter's lover and the rest of the fearsome cultivation geniuses in this city perform on that day. That day would simply be a day that we wouldn't forget for the rest of our lives" That person said with great delight in his tone.
"Absolutely. And if truly he's what they claim him to be, a legend would be born on that day" Another person said. .
