A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Alex at the moment was already understanding so many things about his body.

Then he focused on all the anger and hatred he had felt so far.

He focused on his hatred of the sae-uhl race because of the death of his parent and on the anger for what Micah did to Jake and said to Jennifer.

With rage in his heart and flames of fury burning in his eyes, his body suddenly emitted intense white light.

He became like the sun. Like a white sun, emitting dazzling radiance that bathed everywhere, dying it white.

Jennifer had to cover her eyes as she felt she could go blind. Then she sealed up her residence with her power so the power emanating from this physique wouldn't go out and attract attention.

She was astonished at first. And when she felt the pulses of power emitting from his physique, she became deeply awed.

"How's this possible?"

An information surfaced in Alex's mind "Great Immortal Radiance Physique"

Alex too was surprised, but not too surprised.

He knew he had always had many physiques but he just didn't know how to bring them up. But now he had an idea of how to cause them to surface. He could now summon them through his emotions.

Then he tried to do something.

Still focusing on the hatred and anger he had felt so far. He deployed his willpower, then he roared in his mind. "Change!"

Suddenly, the light emanating from him ceased and his body turned violet and felt like steel. He became many feet taller and the pupils in his eyes became three making six pupils.

Patterns could be seen all over his body and pulsed with power. A dark violet energy erupted from his body and abruptly condensed and shaped into dark violet chains around his arms, back and legs. They looked like real chains.

At their ends could be seen blades that glowed like they were extremely hot.

Another information surfaced in his mind. "Violetchain Rebellious Terminator God-physique"

With this physique, he was afloat in the air. He floated many inches above the ground.

He was floating and flight abilities only belonged to someone in the Sky Lord stage.

After a while, his body reverted to normal and he fell to the ground from that height unconscious.

Jennifer quickly caught him and placed him on her bed.

But her head was ringing.

This...?

There was nothing she could say. She was totally blown away. Spirit, body and soul.

The two physiques she saw gave out the power of a cultivator in the Saint stage. While he was just in the mid-phase entry stage in cultivation.

"How is that possible?" She asked in an astonished tone inwardly.

"That means if he transforms, he would be able to battle someone at the Saint stage. Besides, he is probably going to win such battles. His body looks extremely tough. They felt metal that couldn't be destroyed any means." this thought flashed in her mind.

The only thing was he couldn't sustain it. If it was a life-or-death battle, he had to end it very fast, like in half of a minute.

But she was overwhelmed.

She pulled out a chair and sat in it. Then she produced a few of the scrolls that Alex borrowed her which she was going to return once she was done using it. These scrolls had Alex's parent painting in them.

Alex had lent her the first time that he came to her residence. He felt strange about what she told him which was that she wanted to look at the picture.

He didn't mind. He lent her anyways.

At this moment, the comprehension of several battle methodologies she studied was nearing the perfection realm.

Once she reaches perfection of the methods at the Saint emperor stage, she had to continue to comprehend up to the perfection realm for sage priest stage.

That was where apprehension of the methods stopped as it's a methodology invented by a sage priest-stage cultivator.

But she believed this scroll would be able to support her comprehension to that stage.

An hour later, her understandings broke through the perfection realms of the Saint emperor stage and entered the minor success realm of the Grand Saint emperor stage.

At this level, because of her increased understandings of the profoundness of the methodologies she studied, she could now produce more power than before.

Although she was in the saint emperor stage, her comprehension was now in the grand saint emperor stage. This would enable her to erupt power in the grand saint emperor stage. She only needed energy to support this.

She had gotten a clue on something, which was whoever drew this painting infused the comprehension of the methodologies he or she studied into it and that the person must be a woman as the methods were ladylike.

Only women would use such techniques.

It has beauty and possesses deadly power.

The scroll was imbued with all the person's comprehension using mentalforce energy, an energy that can hold mental information.

She was lucky to have studied a few of the methodologies that related to the ones this person studied. It was what was helping her now.

Because the methodologies share similarities, the places where she was stuck in all this while in her understanding of the methods became opened and she could climb to a higher understanding in it.

Vast information about them filled her head and she was rapidly comprehending the techniques to perfection, as the mentalforce energy flowed into her head.

This was the strange power she felt when she first opened the scroll then.

If she cultivated mentalforce energy, she would see that it was actually large amount of words condensed from that energy that were flowing into her memory, enhancing and consolidating what she knew about the methods she studied.

Then she looked at Alex and uttered with a smile, "His mother drew this painting."

Many hours later..

Alex woke up. When his eyes snapped open, he saw he was in a bed. The bed had the scent of a woman. His eyes widened, he quickly jumped to his feet from the bed.

Jennifer who was still comprehending opened her eyes at the sound of Alex feet hitting the ground.

She looked at him and smiled. "Pretty boy, you have awakened."

Then she furled the scroll and kept it away.

She looked at him with a smile and said, "Your parent must be really powerful people"

Alex nodded.

She nodded too with a smile.

Then she said "I have made up my mind to forsake the sage-stage expert's wealth. Besides, I can't have the child of such expert in my hand. So today, because I don't want anything to happen to you, I would revoke you as a student and take you far away from here" she said.

Alex's eyes widened in shock. This was one heavy piece of bad news.

He looked at her with an ugly face because of what she said and asked "Why?"

Jennifer looked at him and said. "So many things are involved. If I don't give you up, I don't know know what that bastard would do. So you have to be on your way while I face it like that."

"No, I am not going anywhere" He said.

"Don't be stupid at this hour. You would have to go." she said.

Alex became extremely sad. Then he asked "What about you?"

"Well, I would resign and move far away from here. I don't have a family I can return to. So when I go out there, I would become a rogue cultivator. Maybe that way I would be able to get resources for my cultivation." she replied.

Alex felt pangs of pain in his heart.

If she left, she would become an unaffiliated cultivator. One who isn't attached to any organization or firm. Trying to get resources out there would be through extremely brutal battles.

She could get resources from the school as they would supply her with it, but since she would leave, she would have to fight for it out there.

Besides, it would be extremely dangerous for her. Her beauty was like a beacon. It would summon hordes of cultivators that are beasts and demons at hearts. They would lust for her body.

He couldn't imagine this beautiful lady going through all that.

Alex! You are a bastard.

He cursed himself in his mind. It was his fault for getting over excited over a small matter and revealing a strange power to Micah.

He looked at Jennifer and said "You don't need to resign and I am not going anywhere."

Jennifer became short of words. What's wrong with this boy's brain at this moment?

Before she could talk, Alex produced a sword from his dad's interspatial necklace. It was a shiny blue sword with a crimson sharp edge. At the handle could be seen four socket. These were socket for voidstones.

Then he produced a full body armor. It was a thin, light-weight armor that was silver in colour.

She looked at him with shock in her eyes.

These were really powerful treasures. When she came out of her dazzled state, she asked "What do I do with this?"

"Fight? You are not a coward." Alex said looking at her in the eyes.

"Oh. I can't fight that many people. Put the treasures away" she said.

"Does that mean you are coward?" He asked.

Jennifer's eyes shone with anger because of what Alex said which felt very rude to her. But she calmed herself. "So, what am I going to actually do with this when so many people are attacking at once? Huh!?" She asked in an infuriated tone.

"How would you know if you don't try it out?" Alex asked.

Jennifer looked at him. Then she shook her head.

"Okay" she said. She collected the sword and the armor from him.

She sent a sliver of her awareness into the armor and a message appeared in her head.

Name: Great Silver Skeleton Forging Armor.

Stage: Saint emperor

Ability: Transforms user's bones.

Method of activation: Drip blood seven times on armor.

The armormaker had recorded information about the armor in it. The information is only accessed when one sends one's perception onto it.

Jennifer was surprised. Where did this boy get this? Then she thought, it's normal for him to have this. Having such powerful parent, of course, he would have their lifetime accumulations.

The instant she activated it. The armor glowed in a silver light, then it became like a viscous, semi-liquid substance.

It stretched from the hands which she used to hold the armor to every part of her body, encompassing her figure.

Her body glowed in a bright silver light for a long time before it receded.

The armor actually melted into her body and infused into her bones making it extremely strong.

Her bones at this moment became extremely durable and powerful. Her skeletal strength; the physical strength her skeleton could give her increased from that of normal human strength to that of a cultivator that had cultivated the body to the sage general stage.

She was an energy cultivator and not a body cultivator that cultivated body to make it extremely tough. Their bones, muscles would become extremely powerful by infusing energy into it. But this came with great pain and cultivators of this kind are very rare.

Also, If she had cultivated strengthforce energy, she would be able to use the energy to amplify her physical strength.

As an energy cultivator, she could only use energies cultivated to attack. But now, she had physical strength that could match the power of an attack of someone in the sage general realm.

For example, If the energy-attack of a sage general could produce trillion tons of force, she now possessed the strength to be able to produce that same amount of force when she punches.

Besides, it now needed more than this amount of force to be able to break her bones.

She felt extremely strong. She felt like she was a goddess of might and strength.

She looked at Alex deeply astonished.

Alex smiled.

She was amazed. She quickly sent her perception into the sword.

Name: Sky-splitting sword.

Stage: Saint emperor

Ability: Produce powerful slashes that can rent cities apart at full power.

Socket: 4

She activated the sword. The moment she did, it became heavy that despite her physical strength, it was quite heavy for her. Only she knew the weight of the sword.

The sharp edge gave out an intense crimson light. It produced the feeling that it would slice anything to halves. Even the air around it got slashed apart by the sharpness-power emanating from it. This created gashes of vacuum in the air.

The sky-splitting sword in Jennifer's hand was a peerless-rank commander-weapon. And it was forged by Alex's mom.

Every cultivator uses treasure-weapon that matches their cultivation stage.

So, a commander-weapon is extremely suitable for a cultivator in the sage general stage.

Her eyes shone with intent for battle.

"Let them come" she uttered.
