A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

The last move she used was one of the techniques of an Epic-Warrior grade (C-grade), Variant-Fire Element Battle Methodology her family had.

This indicated that she was from a family that cultivated only fire.

She became very pale in complexion as she had drained her entire energy just to pull that technique off.

"Olivia, you are absolutely amazing. What a brilliant killing move." Someone in her group praised.

"That's why she's one of the top genius of our academy at this cultivation level. Olivia, I believe you would become a terrifying expert in future." Another in their group flatteringly said.

Awe and respect could be seen in their eyes.

"So her name's Olivia. She's really powerful. Her battle method can't be from the academy, it must be from the family she came from" Veneration also filled Alex's eyes.

"I believe Olivia has drained herself of energy with that last attack. We would move when she fully recovers" Michael said to his colleagues.

Then he turned to face Alex "Would you continue without us or wait sometime for her to recover?"

"Nah. I would wait. I won't be able to do anything in here on my own" Alex replied.

"Alright" Michael nodded.

He was pleased with Alex.

Since the time they started to battle the beasts, he had discovered to his amazement how strong Alex was.

He now held him in reverence.

Olivia had sat in the cross-legged position on the ground.

Her body slowly recovered after she took red pills to restore her energy. Slowly, colour returned to her pale body. A few minutes later, she became fine.

She stood up and slightly nodded at Alex with a smile, probably acknowledging him for his strength.

When Alex got a good view of her face, he couldn't help but be astonished.

This graceful and aloof beauty was like a celestial figure that came from the heavens to live amongst mortals.

She had a long, ruby hairs that reached her waist. It had that colour probably because of the fiery energy (pyroforce energy) they cultivated in her family.

Her face was smooth like glass, and in it were eyes that shone with intense blue and bright pink lips that was full and looked succulent.

Her spotless white skin was exceedingly attractive, they glowed making her resemble a goddess.

She possessed a slender body that was close to perfection, and she was pretty curvaceous.

Despite her young age, she had a pretty big and erect chest. The firm fleshy lumps that protruded from her chest would definitely make any body to lust for her.

The tight school blouse she wore couldn't hide them as her bust stretched it to the maximum.

She was quite tall in relation to her age. Her long, slender white legs were responsible for this, they made her look tall.

When she smiled at Alex, her smile made the red lotuses in here pale in comparison.

After she nodded and smiled at Alex, she asked "What's your name?" This was her first time talking to Alex.

She had been quiet and distant throughout the journey. Being a genius from the academy, she was quite proud.

It was only because Alex seemed to be domineering in his attacks she had to display her power or her colleagues would begin to feel she wasn't that much of a rare genius.

But she was also amazed by Alex's handsomeness.

Make him wear a woman's clothes and he would be mistaken for a rare beauty. A beauty that only appears in every thousand years.

She had long noticed this glaring feature about him but she only ignored it, minding her own business and maintaining her aloofness like all were ants in front of her.

"Alex." He replied with a smile.

"You have a nice name and you have awesome abilities. Where did you learn those techniques since you aren't studying at an academy?" she asked.

"My uncle purchased the method for me" Alex replied.

"Oh. That's awesome. I guess your uncle must be powerful and wealthy to be able to possess such method" she said.

Alex didn't respond, he only smiled.

Seeing that this was an opportunity to speak to this charming and rare beauty, he asked "What are you guys doing here? It doesn't seem to me that you guys came here to hunt beasts for their skins or bones or catch them for pet keeping"

"We are searching for a blue crystal lily. If we are able to get any one, especially a matured one, we would be rewarded by the academy. You may think only red lotuses grow here but other kind of flowers can be found here. Although, they are scarce but they hold more value. They can be recognized as cultivation resources." she replied.

Alex nodded, then he asked, "What academy are you guys?"

Before Olivia could reply, someone rudely answered. "Trying to get familiar with our Academy's genius? Don't even think so"

Alex looked in surprise at this person.

He smiled and nodded his head. He didn't ask any thing else.

Then they moved further into the cave. Although they were still in the outskirt region.

Whenever they came across several routes, they chose one and moved on.

After walking for about three hours, they suddenly heard roars of beasts in the distance.

Then looks of depression crawled up their faces except Alex who smiled ready for battle.

The reason for their sad faces was because they had come across again a new number of beasts.

Not very long, hundreds of beasts could be seen flying towards them.

Everyone faces turned solemn. This was because winged beasts were more difficult to kill. They were fast in the air, can evade attacks and can pick them up one by one to devour.

Michael's fist began to glow in yellow light. The sand and stones on the ground started to float due to his earth-power.

"Hundred Earth Pillar"

Michael shouted and punched the ground. Ripples of yellow energy blossomed from his fist and spread to the distance.

Abruptly, towering cylindrical columns of earth jutted out from the earth beneath the winged beasts and smashed into some of them heavily.

The beasts that were impacted exploded into mists of blood.

Alex was impressed, the leader of this group was pretty powerful too.

Clenching his fist, it began to glow in cyan light as he drew windforce energy from his energyhouse to it.

The wind suddenly gained speed as they howled furiously.

"Whirling Wind Fist!"

He shouted and punched out.

A glowing cyan fist of energy shot out of his fist at extreme speed.

The instant the energy-fist shot out, a large mass of air abruptly pulled towards it.

The large mass of air wrapped around the energy-fist and compacted into the shape of a fist.

Carrying with it a powerful current of air, the air-enwrapped energy-fist punched into the beasts with fearsome might.

Boom!

The impact was powerful.

It smashed many of the beasts into mists of blood one after the other such that he killed so many at once.

The terrific currents of air did it own part by shoving them away.

Many of these beasts were flung hardly away, smashing insanely into things around.

The fist still continued into the distance smashing into a very large rock before ending it journey there.

Everyone became badly shocked.

What grade of wind element methodology was he studying? Even if he studied a very powerful duality methodology, he shouldn't be able to exhibit such devastating power at his level.

The fist he sent out could seriously injure many of them.

They became terrified of him, especially the one who picked on him earlier. He decided in his heart to stop giving Alex the bad attitude.

Alex was the most astonished.

He never knew he could produce this kind of powerful attack.

This filled the great expanse of his heart with ecstasy.

He was slowly getting powerful. He believed with time he would become more powerful than his role model.

When he thought to here, his gaze sharpened again.

His fist began to glow in cyan light then it suddenly changed to crimson.

The instant the brilliance emitting from his fist changed to crimson, dark crimson flames erupted from his fist. But these were not real flames.

"Fiend Destruction Hellstorm Wind Fist"

Alex shouted and punched out.

The moment he punched out, a crimson fist of astonishing size shot out at extreme speed.

Once this flaming fist of energy shot out, a large mass of air was quickly pulled over.

They gathered around it, compacted and shaped into a fist in mere seconds.

The fist formed from became very solid. It was extremely dense due to immense compaction.

Surprisingly, the solid fist of compressed air enclosing the energy-fist turned crimson and transformed to flames.

The air forming this fist had mysteriously gained the characteristics of fire.

More air pulled in from far places as the fist behaved like a black hole.

The air pulled over infused into the burning windy fist as it shot out.

Boom!...

The burning, crimson energy-fist exploded into a large crimson flame that burnt all the beasts to death.

Despite their extremely durable flesh and bones, they couldn't withstand the heat produced by the flames.

Also, a portion of the solid earth beneath where the fist exploded turned into molten earth.

The heat was great

Alex looked at the molten ground and shook his head in utter astonishment.

"I can do this?" he asked inwardly.

Then he inhaled deeply through his nose and out through his mouth.

The air that was expelled from his mouth transformed into a gust of wind that rapidly cooled the molten ground, making it solid again.

It cooled but thick white fumes still emitted from it.

"Alright. The ground is back to normal. We can move on" Alex asked looking at them with an amiable smile on his lips.

"Sure" Michael said.

Then he came to Alex's side and began to converse with him.

Olivia was quiet as usual and looked on with her usual indifference. But her uninterested eyes were full of amazement which she concealed very well.

She had accepted Alex was a genius and that he was more genius than her.

Although she was a proud person, she knew there would always be someone out there better than you.contemporary romance

She then came to his side and kicked up a conversation with him.

This surprised her colleagues.

'Why should she interact with this unaffiliated person?' this thought flashed through their mind at the speed of light.

But on reasoning, they believed she should.

Geniuses interacted with only geniuses .

They nodded their head at this realization. Then they then filled their minds with other things.

"You were awesome Alex" Olivia said with a smile.

When Alex caught sight of this, he couldn't help but be awed.

Her smile could bring about silver linings in entirely, inky black clouds.

"So beautiful" he muttered inwardly.

"Thanks Olivia. You guys were awesome too." He said.

Olivia nodded.

She was impressed by his character. If it were others, they would start carrying themselves like bosses.

They would carry their arms like birds that wants to fly to the heavens.

"What academy are you guys from?" Alex asked.

"We are from the Immovable Earth Academy. We cultivate terraforce energy. Our uniforms are yellow since the colour of terraforce energy is yellow" Olivia replied.

"Alright" Alex said and nodded.

"Why aren't you studying at an academy instead of studying by yourself?" Michael asked.

"Uhm.. I would go to an academy when I reach the earth adept realm. I have missed out on the cultivation enrolment exams. I can only have chance for admission at the earth adept realm." Alex replied, intelligently fabricating an answer.

"Ohh. Alright. Alex, I can recommend our academy to you. We treat ourselves as brothers and sisters in the institution. Our instructors are friendly and they are really good at explanations, we have no problems passing our cultivation tests and exams with the way our instructors handle us." Olivia said.

"Cool. I would tell my uncle about it. So, you guys came here for a blue crystal lily. What's it use?" Alex asked.

He was new to plants and their diverse species. He asked to know more about this particular plant.

"Blue crystal lily isn't a big deal. It's just a plant that we can extract juice from to attract a certain type of insect. The venom of this insect can cure someone of some kind of poison. Someone in the academy, when he went for experience-gathering was stung by a greenback mottled scorpion. So we were then sent here to bring the lily to the academy. We were told to use this opportunity to enhance our battle prowess." Olivia said.

"Alright." Alex said.

After walking for hours, they came across many tunnelled routes.

Olivia chose one and they walked in.

Half an hour later, they came before hundreds of beasts. These beasts looked like tigers. They were horned and their skin was purple.

They breathed out toxic scarlet gases and their tails looked like a scorpion's.

At the tip could be seen a violet hook, and by the sides two holes that blinked, these holes seemed like eyes.

The beasts were worshipping something that looked just like them but it was much larger and its color was dark purple.

It was their king.

Skorrpaetiger is what these beast were called.

The skorrpaetiger king saw this group of humans that had entered into it territory and then roared in rage.

The skorrpaetigers turned to look at Alex and the others. Then they howled furiously too.

Then they rushed towards them with lust for their fleshes and bones. It was like they hadn't tasted human flesh in a very long time.

The beast king remained behind overseeing his minions.

It wasn't like them.

It eyes shone with a bit of intelligence. This was because it had entered the next beast cultivation realm.

Everyone quickly attacked.

Colored fists, spears, blades, staffs and so on condensed out of energies shot at extreme speeds towards the beasts.

The energy-attacks either injured them or killed them.
