A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 263: Contest IV

Come up here fellas, don't tell me that you little boys are scared of fighting me. Didn't you want my celestially beautiful future wife's hand in marriage? Therefore, since you do, jump up to this stage this moment. Or go back shamefully and disgracefully to the seat that your filthy asses stood up from"

Hahaha!

One of the students suddenly burst into a loud raucous laughter.

Then with a squat, he pushed himself into the air towards the stage.

Bang!

He landed heavily on the stage and looked at Alex with a light of viciousness in his eyes.

Alex looked at him and gave a friendly smile.

"Come!" The boy that just landed on the stage said to Alex.

Alex shook his head.

"Nope. I am the master of the stage. You should come to me" Alex said with the friendly smile still in his face.

Scoff! 

The boy scoffed.

Then unexpectedly, he ran towards Alex.

Once he got to about eleven feet in front of Alex, he quickly aimed his two hands at him and then discharged a large stream of frostforce energy from them.

The moment that the huge stream of ice-energy erupted from his hands, it transformed into a massive spear that shot towards Alex.

Seeing the spear in slow motion, Alex punched out heavily at it.

Bang!

A bang sound rang out as the huge spear of ice shattered into pieces. Also, immediately Alex's fist collided into it, a wave of decent destructive power surfaced from the point of their collision and raged into the distance, causing Alex to stagger backwards for a few feet when the wave produced from the impact of his fist with the energy-spear struck him.

While Alex was staggering backwards on the platform, the boy called Ice Hawk, a peak-phase, Earth Adept stage cultivator of Ice and Frost, immediately launched more ice-bound attacks at Alex.

He had unleashed a basic attack called 'Ice arrows'. Except that the arrows unleashed were huge in size.

Shooting towards him at high speeds, Alex swiftly punched out at all of them.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!...

The numerous attacks broke into pieces with waves of destructive power appearing.

Alex had punched out extremely fast that he destroyed about fifty large arrows with his fists alone. None of them could escape past his punching fists to impale him.

Immediately Alex shattered the last of the huge arrows of ice with his fist, he suddenly punched out towards Ice Hawk where he was. And as soon as he punched out, a massive amount of radiantforce energy erupted from his fist which then abruptly condensed and shaped into a massive luminous fist that shot towards Ice Hawk at high speed.

Seeing the attack that Alex sent out, Ice Hawk quickly punched out too. Then as he punched out, a huge quantity of frostforce energy immediately discharged from his fist which then turned into a massive fist that radiated intense coldness.

The instant that it formed, it shot out at a great speed towards the radiant, fist-shaped attack that Alex abruptly sent out.

Boom!

A loud boom sound rang out as the attacks struck one another heavily, and resulted in the appearance of waves of deadly power.

If not that the stage was made from a material that could endure the powerful shockwaves that would be produced from the collisions of Alex's attacks with that of his challengers, it would have cracked and explosively shattered into pieces.

As they continually exchanged moves on the platform, everyone's eyes widened in awe and shock.

What exactly is the limit of this boy's battle power?

Is he actually going one on one against a peak-phase, Earth Adept stage cultivator? One who is three levels above him, as he is at the initial phase, while his challenger is at the peak phase, and not be disadvantaged? 

They simply just couldn't believe what they were seeing.

In all their lives, they had never seen or heard someone battle a cultivator at the peak phase, while the person was at the initial phase. It was impossible, just due to the huge difference in the quality (density) and quantity of the energies that they cultivated.

He should have been overpowered by Ice Hawk once he got on stage. But there they are, still battling it out to see who would be knocked off the stage. Besides, his body was amazingly tough, as he was shattering Ice Hawk's large energy-attacks with his fists alone.

It was simply unbelievable.

Alex also was trying to reduce his power as he knew that his true opponents were at the Sky Lord stage, not the present cultivation stage that he was at, which was the Earth Adept stage. If he wanted to go all out, all of them that were gathered around the platform won't be able to do anything to him even if they all joined together to attack him.

That was why he was using his fists and legs to smash apart their attacks, and use his other energies to attack. Of course, he couldn't use his pyroforce energy, windforce energy, frostforce energy, and lightniforce energy to attack, or he would simply turn them into mists of blood. And one should be able to understand the reason why he can't use those energies, which was because they had been augmented beyond normal. They weren't normal energies again after irreversibly fusing with the essences of fire, ice and wind tribulation-energies that possessed the sole intent to utterly destroy all existences that defied the heavenly mandate of the realmverse. 

So unbelievably strong and powerful!

But who is this boy? How is he able to go against the genius of the Great Ice Phoenix and Sparrow academy at that cultivation phase that he is at?

They said within themselves as they watched the battle with great awe in their eyes.

- On the battle platform -

"You are pretty powerful to be able to go against me!" Ice Hawk said with unbridled shock in his tone.

Alex laughed.

"Well, I am flattered" He said.

"Get ready to be knocked off the stage" Ice Hawk said with total seriousness in his face.

Ice Hawk then closed his eyes and began to release frostforce energy from his hands.

He was trying to build up frostforce energy so that he could create a massive attack that would knock Alex off the stage.

Alex knew this, but he however allowed him to do so. Therefore, he patiently waited for Ice Hawk's ultimate attack. 

Not long, a large amount of ice-energy could be seen around Ice Hawk, totally enshrouding his figure from view.

Then when his eyes snapped open within the massive fog of frostforce energy that enwrapped his figure, he abruptly aimed his palms out at Alex and sent out a shocking amount of ice-attacks towards him.

"Exterminating Gods Chaotic Arrows of Ice"

Then the frostforce energy that had greatly built up around him instantly transformed into thousands of glowing silvery arrows that shot towards Alex at tremendous speeds.

Once Alex saw the deadly attacks that carried a great degree of profoundness shoot towards him at high speeds, Alex whose eyes were now glowing in cyan, quickly waved his left hand which had also begun to glow in cyan at the massive amounts of attacks that were shooting towards him with immense momentums.

Immediately he waved out his palm, the air before him instantly, solidly condensed and shot out like it was a massive, extremely solid pillar of something that was enormously heavy, and was furiously hurled out by a massive catapulting machine.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!...

All the small, glowing ice arrows were surprisingly repelled as they were knocked back, while the bigger ones with larger spearheads effortlessly pierced through the astonishingly dense and large column of air towards Alex who was at a distance on the battle platform.

Seeing that the attacks only lost a bit of their momentum, Alex then clapped out. But he didn't apply too much strength into his clap-based battle technique

BANG!!

Once Alex's hands hit one another to produce a clap, a deafening bang sound rang out which gave the feeling that many thunderbolts had struck out at once from a vast thundercloud in the sky. And immediately accompanying the terrifying thunderous sound that was generated, was a wave of high destructive power which spread out in the air into the distance and in all directions, shattering everything in it path into pieces.

All the huge, ice-bound attacks that Ice Hawk sent out, and which also carried a certain level of profoundness, were instantly shattered into bits by the devastating wave produced from the point at which Alex's powerful palms smashed into one another. Also, due to the wave spreading out in all directions and traveling far into the distance, Ice Hawk who was on the platform and couldn't evade the wave that moved exceedingly swift and possessed immense fierce power, was terribly shaken by the wave as it caused numerous cracks to instantly appear on all the bones in his body, and caused his blood within to violently roil that they could almost burst out from his body.

Besides, immediately after being inflicted with many grievous internal wounds that all instantly appeared, he was hurled into the far distance that he crashed into the earth about twenty feet away.

Alex's eyes shone in marvel and puzzlement.

Despite not putting a lot of strength into his clap, he was still able to cause more damage to the body of Ice Hawk with the wave of tyrannical power that was produced from his powerful clap. As he began to wonder why, he recalled that his physical strength had been augmented by the Worlds Domination Ultimate Support System, which increased his body's abilities with the Base Stats Upgrade Points that he got from achieving Quests.

"I guess that's why" He said.

When Alex clapped and the fearsome thunderous sound rang out, everyone's heart shook in dread. They were actually frightened by the thundering sound that was produced immediately Alex clapped.

Also, they trembled in shock when they saw a visible wave which pushed all the air around Alex away to create a temporary vacuum zone, appear and spread into the far distance, knocking Ice Hawk to a shocking distance and inflicting him with many serious injuries.

"What kind of evil move is that?"

"What a move! This guy doesn't run out of wicked battle moves. He's too deadly and tyrannical to be one's opponent"

"Haha. I said it. The lover of the Immovable Mountain Academy's Great Holy Daughter is truly impeccable and unmatched. Haven't she said so herself? Hehehe"

The battle they just watched got all the audience excitedly discussing amongst themselves. They were enjoying it and were totally exhilarated by Alex's marveling performance. It was simply wonderful and astonishing.
