A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 20: Respect

Alex was surprised and so were the others.

Alex didn't pay this any thought again, since there was no interrogator again, he furled the scroll and sent it back into his interspatial ring.

Since the battle had been interrupted and none of them where in the mood to battle again, Alex went forward with a smile to Richard. "Hey. Nice fight you put up there. How did you awaken your physique?" he asked.

Richard still feeling sad over his defeat and upset about Alex's great identity coldly snorted and turned away.

He walked back to his group from his academy. Then they left the garage and went back to the building.

Alex smiled and shook his head. Then he left the garage and went back to the building to buy a flight ticket.

While he was in the building, with everyone else who had returned, he asked someone that looked like he was from an academy since he wore a uniform, "Hi. Don't mind my intrusion, what are you guys doing here? Are you all here to travel to another state with a large ultivehicle for competition or what?" he asked.

The person that Alex spoke to turned to face him and then replied "Yea! You are right, we want to go to another state for a competition. An inter-academy battle competition. Many academies would be going. It involves battle between the student at the condensation stage. Next year, another state would be hosting the event. The host of this spectacular, thrilling event is rotated amongst the states every year." the boy said.

Alex nodded "Thanks for enlightening me" he said appreciably and this person nodded.

Then Alex left to go to a room where he would buy a flight ticket for a small ultivehicle.

He was wealthy enough to buy the ticket, his uncle gave him lot of sapphirtones.

On his way to the room to get a ticket, looking dashing in appearance but ruined greatly by soiled clothes, everyone here, both workers, travelers and others looked at him.

But this time around, it was not with repelling disgust but awe and praise which screamed loudly off their gaze.

After getting his ticket for the small ultivehicle which was for only VIPs, he went to board it.

Now that he occupied the very last seat, the engines turned on and the ultivehicle took off from the ground and shot into the horizon at an unbelievable speed.

Everyones' eyes trailed the ultivehicle as it took off from the ground and shot into the distance.

When it disappeared from their vision, they turned their heads away. Then conversations broke out. "So that little guy's uncle is Houston? I wished I was him, such wealth such respect, and can you imagine I looked down on him." someone said.

"Same here, not knowing I would be the one to look down on myself later." another replied.

In a room, Teacher Xi sat in the cross-legged position on the ground and meditated. By now, his mind had calmed, he inhaled slowly and breathed out slowly, calmly and peacefully.

After a while, his eyes snapped open and the horror in his eyes was no longer there, he was back to his usual self.

"Xi, how are you doing doing now? We noticed something was wrong with you, what happened?" someone asked.

"I suddenly heard Houston's voice in my head." Teacher Xi said.

"What?" many exclaimed and some breathed in deeply.

"That's terrifying, he was able to project a thought to you from where he was, and the Houston estate is really far from here. Such cultivation power" one said in adoration and the others nodded reverently.

"That boy, since we have never heard about him before must be his first time leaving the Houston house?" someone asked.

"Right.. Er.. We have spoken enough about him, let's mind our business. Don't forget since he could transmit his thought to Xi, he can as well eavesdrop on what we are saying" As soon as this was mentioned, the rest trembled in realization.

Then they resumed their meeting which was postponed because of the fight.

While in the air, Alex could see the VIPs looking at him from time to time, and these were experts with high cultivation stages.

When he entered the ultivehicle from the garage, he had greeted them without arrogance which made these experts happy with him. He respected his seniors.

Alex by now, had this strong suspicion that his uncle was powerful, only his image drawn in the scroll he had with him had sent Teacher Xi away, so he thought not knowing something else was involved.

After thinking for a while about it, he closed his eyes and began to recall vividly all that had happened back at the red lotus mountain, then he thought of that beauty.

He didn't care what's uncle would tell him, he would go to the Immovable Mountain academy to go study when he's reaches the earth adept realm.
