A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 19: My Uncle's name is Houston

Richard activated his physique and dodged the fist. He was surprised by how the fist grew in size. This wasn't normal.

The fist went on impacting an ultivehicle in the distance, but nothing happened to it.

Alex's attack wasn't something that could destroy an ultivehicle.

"What kind of battle methodology was it that he studied?" Richard thought. Then he looked at Alex who also looked back at him with a smile that looked like a smirk.

"Thinking to surrender?" Alex asked.

Richard snorted "Don't even think about it. I am not done with you"

Once he said this, his fist began to glow in intense green light. This was because he moved the energy he cultivated to his hand.

Then he swung his hand in a slashing motion at Alex and at the same moment, a luminous ray of green energy projected from is palm at Alex.

This ray carried with it intense coldness as it caused the air to freeze.

"Hmm?" Alex saw this and sent out his own attack.

He was surprised why Richard produced an ordinary attack. Doing same, a brilliant cyan ray of energy also projected from his hand when he swung it.

Once this ray shot out of his hand, it caused the air wherever it passed to become turbulent.

The ray traveled forward to collide head-on with the other incoming ray of energy.

Bang!

Richard's energy ray attack shattered and dispersed while Alex's traveled forward.

Richard was shocked, it was like he was fighting someone that was a cultivation realm above him.

"How's he doing this?" he thought. This was what he wanted to confirm by sending out an ordinary attack and now it was glaring to him and everybody that Alex was stronger than him.

He produced many other attacks which destroyed the energy ray that was shooting towards him.

The instructors were greatly surprised. "Does anyone know who that boy is? He seems very talented" one asked.

"Yes. He's able to beat someone at a higher cultivation stage and the genius of the Green River academy at that. See, I always tell you guys, nothing is special about the the geniuses of the Green River Academy" another said and looked at Teacher Xi with a grin.

Teacher Xi only snorted, then he stood up and left the discussion hall they were in. He flew to where Richard fought Alex.

Remaining afloat in the air before Richard and Alex. Then he said looking at Alex "I noticed some special things about you, or more precisely about your attacks. Your first attack was pretty powerful, it had the strength of one in the condensation stage, the second was increasing in size limitlessly and the third which was an ordinary attack shattered the same from an expert at the condensation stage. I take you to be a genius from a family. So would you like to join our academy, a lot of benefit would be obtained" Teacher Xi said.

Everyone were shocked, but when they thought about it, it was right for Teacher Xi to extend an invitation to Alex.

He was simply a genius. "You are quite fast" A loud voice boomed out from afar.

Then everyone saw the instructors of the group of people from academies here fly swiftly towards Alex.

They arrived before Alex and remained hovering in the air. "Boy, where are you from? And why do you look dirty like this? You seem to be a genius from a powerful family, you should hold clothes with you" one of the instructors asked.

Although Alex was twelve, he wasn't naive not to understand the way world works, with all his uncle had patiently and painstakingly explained so far to him.

"I was out of the family house for adventure when I fell into a deep pit. I was there for many days before I discovered a way to climb out of it" he said.

"Uh? At your little age, you left for an adventure?" Another asked which Alex nodded to.

They shook their head, what was this boy thinking? In this world full of evil and chaos.

"From your battle methods, I can infer that you come from a powerful family or do you already study at an academy?" Teacher Xi asked.

"No. I don't study at an academy yet, but I plan to study in one. To your first question, I am not really from a powerful family. I come from Houston house. My uncle owns the place" Alex said.

The instructors' eyes widened.

Then fear set in, but this didn't show on their face. They nodded indifferently but their minds were reeling in fear.

They had to leave this young boy in front of them to go. They couldn't mess around with anybody related to that person. Even a worker from the Houston house must not be touched.

From the news they had received about the man in the past, he had decimated more than three academies all because one of their students or elders abused his workers or the relatives of his workers.

He was domineering and powerful, even the statesmaster, the person in charge of managing the entire affairs in thousands of states was his friend.

Teacher Xi coldly snorted "You claim to be from the Houston house right? For me to believe you, show me something to prove that you are truly from there. I give ten seconds, failure to do so would result in direful consequences for you" He said.

He thought Alex was claiming to be something he was not and instilling fear into him, a saint-rank expert for that matter, frightened by a naive child, had made him very upset.

Alex was taken aback by this man's sudden behavior. He furrowed his brows as he began to think of something to show the man.

On his left hand was worn the ring his uncle gave him, he sent a sliver of his awareness into it and abruptly everything in the ring appeared in his mind.

He searched for a few seconds before he pulled out something from within the ring. It was a scroll and when he unfurled it, what was drawn in it was Houston's image.

The instructors were amazed but Teacher Xi wasn't satisfied with this. He was about to talk when a gentle voice sounded in his head "Hi, this is Houston. Why don't you forget about this matter and let the boy go. I would take it as a favour"

Teacher Xi eyes widened in unrestrained horror, his body shook and his face turned pale white.

He didn't say anything, he just flew away.

Right now, he needed to go meditate to calm his mind or he could go insane. That voice from someone he feared sounding in his head all of a sudden had left him in dire straits.

Other instructors were totally surprised and then flew after Xi to go ask him what was wrong and why he was looking so jumbled up.
