Chapter 51: How was he able to do that?
As Alex was complaining bitterly in his heart and thinking of what to do next, a thought struck him.
He remembered strengthforce energy. This energy was extremely powerful as he had once used it in an energy-attack to shatter peak rank-2 beasts, and which went on to splinter mountains.
This energy, which he said he would use in an energy-attack, as his last card or surprise card when faced with dangerous events was powerful that it could match the energy produced by a cultivator in the heaven adept stage.
He was able to know this through one of the abilities gained when one broke through the barrier between mortal and cultivator. He could feel the fluctuations of his strengthforce energy, it was the same as that of someone in the heaven adept stage.
Strengthforce energy was more powerful than his other energies, but he knew it was because it had slivers of some originforce energy in it.
It was that particular originforce energy that augmented the power output and destructive capacity of his strengthforce energy when discharged as an energy attack.
But he wasn't going to use it to send out an energy-attack at Kenneth. What he wanted to do was infuse the energy into every muscles of his body.
Since strengthforce energy gave increased physical strength, he hoped the mysterious originforce energy that had blended with his strengthforce energy would give him vast physical strength. He needed immense strength to be able to resist the restriction placed on him.
Thinking in this direction, he moved strengthforce energy from his energyhouse to the muscles in his arms and legs. This energy which was golden caused his muscles to glow gently in a golden light. Then he felt his muscles becoming extremely dense and powerful.
Although no one could see the glow as it was soft and because his clothes covered it, if one could see the transformation going on, one would see that his biceps and triceps which constituted his arm's major muscles, his pectoral muscles, then his quadriceps and calves which formed his leg's major muscles, and his back muscles had begun to lustre like gold.
Alex at the moment felt he could uproot a hill and lift it overhead. He felt very strong and that he was unstoppable.
The instant Alex channelled strengthforce energy to his muscles. Kenneth had gotten to his position, then he sent out a powerful punch to his head.
But the punch he sent out slowed down in motion, this was because Alex moved speedforce energy to his eyes. The punch was so slow it took precisely ten seconds to move by a centimeter.
Alex then reached out with his hand, grabbed Kenneth's punching fist and turned, flinging him away.
Alex tossed him away gently, he didn't apply much strength when he flung Kenneth away. But to his amazement, Kenneth smashed into a wall at the end of the hall, which was thirty-five feet away from where he stood.
Everyone's eyes shone in astonishment.
What kind of strength was that? Was the strength given by a physique? But they didn't see him transform or his body change, with patterns appearing all over.
The heaven adept-stage cultivator was one of the most greatly shocked. He put his restriction power out there on Alex, but he discovered that it couldn't hold Alex down again.
Even after using his full limiting power on him, Alex wasn't locked in his motion. This caused his mind to reel in awe. He quickly left there to report all that had happened to the person who assigned him to do the job.
Kenneth smashed into the wall heavily and became unconscious.
The golden glow on Alex's body disappeared as the strengthforce energy flowed back into his energyhouse. Then he went to meet Jake, "Jake, let's go back to our room. Am done here" he said.
Jake nodded with a smile.
..........
- In a particular room -
"You said the boy was able to resist your restriction power?" a tall and handsome man asked. "He was. And that strength. I don't know how he was able to do it." a man in his twenties said.
"Hmm. Alright. You can go" The man said.
Then his brows furrowed.
This boy Jennifer brought seems to be pretty powerful. If he defeats John, I would be at a great loss. I would loose my treasure and the one I won from her. In six days time, they would fight. I need to do something about this. He thought.
This was the instructor that was having a re-bet with instructor Jennifer. He tasked the heaven adept-stage student to apply restrictive force on Alex while Kenneth fought him.
If Alex was beaten by Kenneth, the heaven adept-stage student wouldn't do anything but since Alex was overpowering in his moves, he did something.
-Jennifer's office -
"Jennifer, where did you get that boy?" Micah asked. "What boy?" she asked in a fake perplexed tone. "We both know who we are talking about." Micah said.
Like she just realized what he was talking about, she exclaimed. "Oh." then she smiled. "He's my cousin." she replied.
Haha!
Micah laughed. "Very good. Your cousin right? You guys are very attractive in the family" he said. Jennifer smiled, "Very" she replied.
"Anyways, I just came to tell you that your cousin is really spectacular. He had a fight moments ago with Kenneth and he won. No energy-attacks were used, it was a battle with the fists and legs and he won. Excellent and genius isn't he? The mighty Kenneth fell at his hands." he said.
Jennifer's eyes shone with slight anger. "I know it was you bastard that planned that out" she said with a slightly raised voice in a vexed tone. "Yes I did. I wanted to break your boy's confidence and in fact, crush him so your boy wouldn't be able to fight. But surprisingly he won. So, it's up to me to buckle my belt or I may end up in tears." he said.
"Wait. I didn't hear well. You said you wanted to crush him. Like crush him? How dare you?!" Jennifer shouted as she stood up from her seat when she realized the gravity of his statement. And now, she was very annoyed.
"Haha! So beautiful when you are angry. Anyways, if you remember correctly, according to what we agreed upon, if you aren't able to produce a fighter during the match when we would be having our re-bet, I would take all. So that's what I tried to do, to break his leg and once he doesn't appear, I would take all. But those incompetent fools couldn't handle him. But they are reliable or..." he said and ended his speech there as he started to think of something. Then he looked at Jennifer strangely.
And with a light of perplexity and weirdness that abruptly shone in his eyes, he said. "The boy was able to resist the constraining power of a heaven adept-stage cultivator. How was he able to do that? Does that mean if I was in the heaven adept-stage, my restriction powers wouldn't work on him. Hmm, that's a first of it kind. I see why you brought him. The boy's really special but John is more special. He has extraordinary cultivation gifts."
"Micah, it's time you left my office. I have heard enough of your shit" Jennifer said angrily. "Haha. I am leaving Jenny. Just make sure you keep the little boy out of harm's way. Another thing I should tell you is, pending the time the battle would take place, your manwhore, who is also your cousin would live a life full of unnerving danger. Tell him to watch out" Micah said trying to infuriate her, then he left.
Jennifer's eyes turned red from anger but she controlled herself. Then she sat down, calmed herself and began to think of what next to do.
"Alright, this is what I would do." Then she closed her eyes and deployed her scanning saint-sense to search for Alex. She wanted to deliver a message to him that he should come see her. She wanted to discuss something urgent with him.
This was possible through a mind transmission methodology that she studied. It enables one to be able to cultivate transforce energy. An energy that can carry thoughts in one's head into the outside world and into the head of another.
Using her saint-sense to scan, she can transmit her thoughts directly to anyone who falls under her scanning range via the powerful cultivation sense.
Even if the person was very far away. As long as the person was in the coverage range of her saint-sense, the person would be able to get the message.
When she scanned everywhere, she couldn't find him. She was surprised. "Where is this boy now? He disappears when you need him."
Then she recalled that she hadn't looked into one place. And that was the shower room.
Her soul shook when she thought of sending her sense into that place. That isn't appropriate. She would be nothing more than a peeping tom.
Should I wait for him to come out? What if he's not the one in there? She asked inwardly.
Then light of curiousness shone in her eyes.
She had never seen a male's naked body before. It had always been cultivation, cultivation, cultivation. All her suitors had long left her to search for another person and she was very glad they left her alone.
Besides, Alex was outrageously handsome.
"Alright, let's do it."
