A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

It was this time that the instructors from Alex's academy spoke.

"Hey! The boy did nothing wrong. Were you watching another screen? Well, if you were, then it's right for you to spout trash. Anyways, I would tell you what I watched since it seems you were watching them from a wrong screen. Your damned students wanted to harm my boy and his team member. So because he is way stronger than them and gave them the necessary punishment they deserve, you want to pursue the matter. I would like to see how you would give it a pursuit" An instructor spoke, trying to defend Alex.

He was proud of Alex's strength and at how decisive he was. He lashed out without holding back.

Just when the aggrieved instructor would speak again in retaliation to what the instructor from Alex's academy said, a voice boomed out.

"No arguments or fights here. I believe you saw what happened in the screen. They tried to harm the boy and the girl. But their scheme backfired when they picked on someone who possesses battle power greater than the hundreds of them combined. So, don't try to cause a problem here or you wouldn't like how it would end. Competition is over. All of you should leave here this instant and return to your academies"

Now that they had been given the order to leave, the instructors from other academies who wanted to participate in the action just because of what Alex did to their students began to move together with them to their ultivehicles.

The instructor who spoke still looked at Alex. There was bone-chilling coldness in the way he gazed at him. Then he said in a wicked tone "I saw that you cultivated many energies. At least twelve of them. For you to be able to do that proves that you are a genius. But you are very foolish. You are trying to do something forbidden in cultivation. You want to become a Beyonder. The Master of hundreds of world-energies right? Haha! I wonder how long you would last in this world. That's if you can even survive the unique tribulation that would afflict you when you try to break through into the heaven adept realm. Aii... Another genius that might shake higher worlds will die in five hundred years time. What a pity. haha!"

After he said that, he and the other instructors that came together left with their students.

"Don't let that get to you. You will survive every beyonder-type tribulation that the world would throw at you. I know you can" The instructor in front of him said confidently with an assuring smile.

Alex nodded and returned the smile.

That statement the instructor made to shatter Alex's cultivation-heart simply did nothing. He knew he was special and unique. And that he was someone who would rise to the height no one has even risen to since he was called by the world for a purpose. Then that he was gifted vast, astonishing abilities just for that purpose. So it was only left to him to fulfill that purpose.

But he knew that it wouldn't be easy as his own road to the zenith rank of cultivation would be filled with more tribulations than the others.

Terrifying tribulations would manifest and seek him to destroy him anytime he wanted to achieve a breakthrough to higher cultivation stages after the heaven adept stage, just like how the instructor said.

This was what beyonders always went through as he was lectured by his uncle when he was still in the mansion. And it was the same path they walked that he was also treading. Not that he wanted to, he was born with the ability. But he wasn't terrified. Since it was like this, he would absorb the tribulation-energies that composed the tribulation-attacks which would seek him to ruin him or destroy him.

Tribulation-energies, also called Judgement-energies or Executioner-energies were special energies that are produced by tribulation clouds, a type of vast, phenomenal, mystical cloud that would appear when one was breaking through into specific realms. Only by surviving tribulation-attacks could one be said to have officially entered those specific realms.

These tribulation-energies share similarities with the five elemental energies which are air, water, earth, wood and fire elemental energy. But they are more deadly. Like ten to a thousand times more. Actually, their degree of deadliness depends on the cultivator being afflicted. Some could undergo tribulation at ten percent power. While others could undergo tribulation at a thousand percent power. Then the percentage of deadly power of beyonder-type tribulations could range from a million times to a billion times. It was vastly greater than that of ordinary cultivation tribulations.

The beyonder-type tribulation-energies possessed such fearsome killing power because they contained the living and sentient, overpowering profound will to ravage, to destroy, to bring to extinction and to obliterate from the system of the realmverse. They were conscious energies that possessed vastly powerful destruction intents.

Huuuu!

Alex took a deep breath when he flash-remembered all that is uncle told him back then before he set out for his adventures.

But he wasn't fazed!

"You contain the intent to seek, eliminate and destroy? Then I will absorb you instead" Alex said inwardly in a confident tone.

He knew he had a rare and legendary body that would absorb every energy it came across or was exposed to as he was once told by Houston.

Since there was no name for his body as this was the first time it would ever appear in the cultivation world. He decided to give it a name "Grand Dominator Myriad Energy Devouring Body".

Alex named it so because it was the most supreme body and one that absorbed or devoured all forms of energies which it contained perfectly without them leaking out or returning to the realmverse.

But little did he know that his normal body which he just named was an actual physique. It was one that accumulated and stored all energies. Nobody ever realized this. Not even his super-powerful parent and friends. And just like any other physique, it had it abilities which Alex would discover later in future.

So Alex felt with great certainty that his grand dominator myriad energy devouring body would give him a greater chance at withstanding beyonder-type tribulations and even absorb the elemental-like deadly energies that composed their cascading attacks.

"Let's head back to the academy" Alex's instructor said.

Alex and his team members nodded their heads. Then they stepped into their academy's ultivehicle.

Swoosh!

It shot at a great speed like a rocket into the distance after floating in the air and stabilizing itself for some seconds.

John and his team members were looking at Alex with awe. They saw all that he did and couldn't help but be amazed. Alex had branded an indelible impression in their minds. He was overpowering and overwhelming.

"I shouldn't be called a genius. You should" John said to Alex in a friendly tone.

"Come on. Will you stop spouting rubbish?! Of course you are a genius. If you weren't, principal Jennifer wouldn't make you go for this competition. This meant that you gave her a good impression of your battle-power and skills. So don't deprecate yourself just to praise another person. We are both geniuses. We are still growing. With time, we would become epic genius experts that would shake regions and continents with our gazes alone. Just continue to train hard and be diligent in your cultivation" Alex replied, trying to raise John's esteem, morale and cultivation-heart.

John smiled.

"Thank you." Then he continued "I know we are not familiar with each other, but can we be friends? I want to become friends with someone like you. It's not because of your great battle prowess but because of your personality. You are not proud and haughty like me who can't boast of anything in front of you"

Alex smiled and shook his head.

'This guy' He said inwardly.

"Of course you can. And stop lowering yourself. Not even in front of more powerful experts. You said you couldn't boast of anything in front of me. But I tell you now that you can boast of something. You are in the peak-phase condensation stage while I am at the mid-phase condensation stage. You would certainly enter the earth adept realm before me." Alex said with a smile and gave him a thumbs up.

John nodded and kept quiet after giving Alex the 'perfect' hand sign.
