Chapter 59 Faking
Arkhen's opponent was a chi user and his whole body was rippling with red energy. His fists were wrapped in red destructive potent energy and he was ready to attack Arkhen upon the countdown reaching zero.
There was another person in the stadium, a pretty famous one. Sierra. She glanced at Arkhen and saw that he was just leisurely standing without even preparing.
'Looking at his opponent, it seems that aunt decided to this match and also put me here to watch. Arkhen… Let's see if you win this or not,' Sierra thought.
…
"You are a new student, right? Give up if you don't want to feel pain," said the man with wild hair and wearing a tooth necklace. He wore an open wild shirt, showing his muscular body, and damaged trousers that looked as if some rats nibbled on them.
He was a 24-year-old student and possessed over five thousand energy power.
Arkhen didn't pay any heed to him and just stood there with a carefree and bored expression. 'This academy is really slow. Why haven't they called me in yet? They should have found that I have progressed very fast now.'
[Actually, they might call you after this match]
'Oh, that's good.'
The countdown soon turned zero, and Arkhen's opponent dashed towards him.
Arkhen's energy power was lower than his opponent's, but his physical body was stronger.
"Take it!" the man was coming towards Arkhen with his fists overflowing with destructive chi power.
However, Arkhen didn't even use his force-field and easily parried the man's fists like gentle water but as quick as the fierce wind.
The man who was dashing at full speed was shocked as he was suddenly stopped as if he crashed into a gentle wind wall and both of his fists were parried to the sides.
Then he saw in slow motion as Arkhen gathered energy in his palm before hitting his chest squarely.
*Swoosh….*
A burst of impact force hit the man as he flew like a kite without a string, directly out of the platform. Defeat!
Sierra's eyes widened in shock. 'This man… His martial arts are too powerful! That masterful way of diffusing an opponent's momentum by using opposing force to absorb it and then using it back, this…. This is the peak of Counter Rebound Martial arts!'
'But his physical strength needs to be powerful for that, isn't he a new student?' Sierra thought confusedly. Her opponent didn't even fight her because gave up since he knew he would lose against Sierra.
Dionne also won her match. So far, she had won 5 matches and lost 4 matches.
All of them gathered at the exit of the stadium and went to meet up with Ellie and Makoto, who had also finished their matches. Both of them also won.
Actually, the result of Arkhen's Heavenly Massage Art that strengthened their body and Arkhen teaching them Martial Arts was already showing fruitful results.
"What do we do now? We still have three hours until it's 4 PM," Ellie said with a grin.
"I'll have to go soon," Arkhen said with a faint smile.
*Beep…*
"Here it is," Arkhen said as he looked at the message notification that called him to the central academic building, which was a giant metal building with various paths leaving it through all of its floors. It was like a big headquarters.
"You girls can come with me. Just wait in the hall while I finish my visit there."
"Alright."
…
Since people also use their superpowers to travel, just like some people with beastly wings, energy wings, and such, Arkhen also created a force-field plate and flew away with everyone standing on it.
"Haha, this fun," Zoe said as she grabbed Arkhen's arm. The girls were standing on the force-field while Arkhen controlled it and flew towards the headquarters. He was sixty meters high in the sky, so there were no obstructions.
Many people were startled because they haven't seen someone having such a superpower as a force-field.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the Headquarters. The girls stayed in the big hall while Arkhen followed a woman in a suit who was waiting for him.
…
Following this lady, Arkhen entered a medium-sized hall with a big table. The table was |¯| shaped with four people sitting ¯ part, three people sitting at the left part of the table while the other three people sitting at the right part of the table.
All these ten people were of various ages, ranging from an early thirty beautiful woman with curly silver hair to a sixty-year-old man wearing a plain white robe.
"Arkhen Walton, please stand in the middle."
Arkhen walked forward and stood in the middle of the table as he glanced at all ten people. Arkhen looked at the ten status panels in front of them and grinned internally. All of them had over 20,000 EP and physical stats at 100, except for charm.
After Arkhen stood at the center, which was a round platform of sorts, the people at the table saw a hologram appear in front of them, exactly the same.
"All physical stats maximum while energy power at above three thousand. Interesting…"
"Arkhen, would you mind telling us how did you progress so fast?"
"I received a blessing unknown to me. In the first place, I awakened through a blessing," Arkhen said, his face showing a slightly nervous smile. "At first, I didn't know about all these blessings and things and only found out after I attended this academy." Of course, it was his acting that he gained after spending 1 reality point.
"What kind of blessing?"
"I don't know in detail, but I heard some voices. The one who blessed me seemed to be called Taoist Li Kong. When I awakened, I found out that my physical body would increase by 10 points every day, and now it's the turn of my energy power, which is increasing by 1000 energy day," Arkhen said.
The ten people at the table were clearly startled.
"Taoist Li Kong? Hey, Tang. Have you heard of someone receiving this blessing in China?"
"No, I am hearing it for the first time. But based on the name, this Taoist Li Kong seemed to have the power of space and this young man also has space-related power. Force-field, right?"
Arkhen quickly nodded his head.
