Chapter 8: Ch 8: Shock!
Compared to Alex and Ethan, the other geniuses of the White Family were just ordinary. Compared to Ethan, everyone was more surprised by Alex.
In the past, Alex couldn't even cultivate. He started cultivating only six months ago. But he had reached this stage in just six months, this was really too shocking.
"Boom!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two people's fist shadows overlapped again. A loud sound echoed in the air and faintly visible ripples spread out.
Both of them retreated.
This time, both of them took seven or eight steps back. Their strength was about the same.
Seeing this, everyone was extremely shocked. If the first time was a coincidence, then the second time was enough to prove that their strength was similar.
They never thought that Alex really had the strength to fight Ethan. Everyone on the scene was shocked. Even Owen was stunned, he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed.
"I didn't guess wrong. Alex, your talent is extraordinary." Although Ethan was greatly shocked after seeing Alex's strength, he was not jealous or angry at all. Instead, he became even happier.
"Let's Continue fighting!"
"Alright!"
Alex agreed. It's because even he found it very pleasing fighting Ethan to equal.
At first, although Ethan was furious because Alex challenged him, he was not unreasonable. Seeing that Alex did have the strength to fight him, his anger was settled down, instead, he was pleasantly surprised.
The two of them charged at each other.
"Jade Shattering Fist!"
"Jade Shattering Fist!
Both of them used the same martial arts skill at this time. This was the strongest martial arts skill that the two of them had mastered. The sound of the vibration kept coming.
"BOOM!"
Both of their fists collided and an explosive sound spread in all directions. Along with the explosive sound, the shockwave also spread out in every direction.
Everyone in the field was staring at the two people who were moving quickly and colliding with each other again. They were also shocked to the extreme. They had never thought that there would be such an intense battle between Alex and Ethan.
They also did not expect that Alex would suddenly rise up and fight Ethan, who was at the peak of the Body Refinement Level 9 but was not at a disadvantage.
Such a scene really shook their hearts. Time slowly passed. The entire Martial Arts Practice Field became silent. Only the sound of heavy breathing and their fists colliding could be heard.
Five minutes passed.
Alex and Ethan exchanged another punch and separated. The two of them stood on both sides of the arena, gasping for breath.
While gasping for breath, Ethan said, "Alex, you are very strong!"
His eyes were full of admiration for Alex.
"You are not bad either!" Alex also replied with a smile.
Alex felt the surging energy in his body and was pleasantly surprised. This energy far exceeded what he had felt before. He had unexpectedly gained something from this intense battle with Ethan. This had exceeded his expectations.
At this moment, the strength within his body was slowly increasing. Alex had a sudden realization regarding this.
This should be the effect of the improvement of his ability.
Originally, his talent was considered the lowest amongst the disciples of the White Family. However, after he duplicated the talent of Gavin, Josiah, Owen, and Ethan, he had become one of the top geniuses of the White Family. He could now fight the top genius of the White Family, Ethan White, to equal.
His improvement not only changed the grade of his talent but also subtly changed his physique.
Originally, this process took a long time. But now, the intense battle between Alex and Ethan had sped up the process.
Alex could only feel that every aspect of his body was improving at a speed that he could perceive. He believed that it wouldn't be long before his strength rose again. At that time, he should be able to defeat Ethan.
After that, Alex looked at Ethan, his intent to battle was surging.
After resting for a while and recovering some of his strength, Alex said: "Let's fight again!"
"Okay!" Ethan also agreed. This was the first time he found someone his equal. How could he not fight?
The two of them charged at each other and then they smashed their fists together. The sound of the collision could be heard without stopping.
The surrounding people looked over and all of them had stunned expressions on their faces as they fell into a state of shock.
A few more minutes passed unknowingly.
"Look!"
Suddenly, a cry of alarm could be heard.
Everyone's expressions changed. Then, they looked in the direction of the voice. Instantly, they were even more shocked.
They saw Alex and Ethan exchange a punch. This time, Alex only took three steps back while Ethan took ten steps back.
Alex attacked again and Ethan took even more steps back.
At this moment, the situation in the fighting area had changed drastically.
It was Alex, a Body Refinement Level 7, who had the upper hand now.
No one could believe it.
However, this scene had happened right in front of their eyes and they had to believe it. While everyone was still in shock, the situation of the fight between two geniuses became clearer and clearer.
In the beginning, Alex only had the upper hand. But soon after, Ethan was forced back again and again. Even his resistance was weakening at an extremely fast speed.
Ethan also had a shocked expression on his face. He looked at Alex with shock and disbelief.
Originally, Ethan thought that the battle with Alex would end in a draw or perhaps he would have a high chance of winning. After all, Ethan was at the peak of the Body Refinement Level 9, two levels higher than Alex's.
Even if Alex's talent was higher than his, because of the difference in cultivation base, the end result should at most be a draw.
However, Ethan didn't expect that as the intense battle continued, Alex's strength would increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ethan was still able to resist Alex's attacks previously. However, when they reached the final stage of the battle, Alex's punch caused the air to vibrate and produce explosive sounds. His power was several times stronger than before.
The power of Alex's attack made Ethan's body tremble uncontrollably. Ethan knew that he could no longer resist Alex, he could only dodge in all directions.
He did not expect Alex to not only be strong but also increase his speed. As the time continued to pass, it became extremely difficult for Ethan to dodge.
After a while, Ethan had used up too much energy. His body was exhausted and he could no longer resist Alex.
Alex's fist landed on Ethan's chest. A loud explosive sound rang out!
It was as if Ethan had been hit by a huge rock. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then he was sent flying.
In an instant, the entire Martial Arts Practice Field turned into a dead silence. Everyone was looking at this scene. They were like puppets that had fallen into a daze. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Alex and they were filled with disbelief.
