บท 9: Daddies Battle Program Part 1

10 months later

[3rd POV]

"Congratulations! This is the end of combat class assessment. I know most of you have worked very hard and improved so now we will be doing the end of the course exam. Everyone line up in your ranking order from 50 to 1. You will get your assignment and after 10 minutes of getting prepared, we will start." Professor Chen announced.

Everyone followed the directions and grouped up in groups to talk about what their assessment was. "Hey Shi Feng, what is your assessment?" Asked Logan to the now sightly muscled Shi Feng.

"Ah, mine says if I beat my PR(personal record) in the reaction test, I pass. What about you?" Asked Shi Feng.

Logan looked at his card and nonchalantly said," I have to show the advanced battle technique I created to instructor and if it works I pass."

Shi Feng gawked at his answer. It was almost impossible to even get an advanced battle technique, not to mention creat one yourself. It usually took grandmasters a whole life's dedication to creat one advanced technique. Shi Feng gulped after understanding that his friend had to do the impossible.

But Shi Feng was realistic. "Logan, if you didn't want to tell me, you could have just said so. You didn't have to lie about it."

"Scram! If you don't believe in this genius, then just watch and learn!" Logan said.

"Alright everyone. Since the 10 minutes has passed, let's start this off with a bang! We will start with number 1. Logan's task was to work on an advanced combat technique! However worry not, for even if he hasn't perfected it, he can still pass if it has the potential to be strong."

Siii!!!

Everyone took in a cold breath. This was no ordinary request. An advanced combat technique was anything that the general public didn't have access to. It could range from just a simple set of footwork that gives you a slight advantage, to something that can make you invincible on the same level. As Shi Feng heard that and saw Logan giving him a smug look, he sighed.

"Here, I want you to record me." Logan said to Shi Feng, handing him his phone.

"Okay," Shi Feng nodded. Any time Logan was going to do something cool he would hand his phone to Shi Feng.

As Logan's walked up to the stage, he was stared at by everyone. He didn't mind because he was used to it by now. Stepping up into the ring, Professor Chen looked at Logan seriously. "What is the technique you created?"

"I call it vacuum palm. Anyone who is hit with this palm will experience a vacuum without air for 5 seconds. The full potential of this palm is to be able to creat a void vacuum like outer space in a bubble of 10 meters. Unfortunately your body would have to be very powerful to produce such an effect. Even with my full strength, I can only produce the effect of only no air in an area of 20 meters. Breathing is a crucial part of combat and not being able to breath would be an issue." Logan lectured, answering Professor Chen.

Everyone took in a cold breath when they heard this. The potential was out of this world. Even being able to preform this technique in the smallest of area could give you a massive advantage, and Logan said he could creat a vacuum within 20 meters?! That is insane already!

"Ahem... alright then. For safety could you be able to perform this technique underwater?" Professor Chen asked.

Professor Chen knee it was a technique for air however he believed Logan could do anything at this point.

"Hmm, it isn't supposed to be used for water but I guess it could work. However it would be weaker and I could probably only do it in a 5 meter radius for almost no time." Logan answered unsure.

Professor Chen nodded and said," Okay, well then everyone let's go to the pool." When they got to the gym pool Professor Chen gave Logan a target and camera that was on a live feed to the TV on the wall. "Alright, go set up that target at the bottom of the pool and put the camera on one of the walls, pointed at yourself."

And so after taking off his weights, to the astonishment of the class, Logan set up the equipment and went back up to the surface. The pool depth where he set up is 10 meters deep and has a perimeter of 20 meters.

Technology had advanced enough so that scuba gear was small and compact. It was not unlike the equipment that was used in the prequel of Star Wars.

"I'm done setting up. I'm gonna do it now." Said Logan as he swam back down to the bottom.

Standing at the bottom in front of the target, Logan moved his hand back and launched it at the target. The goal of the technique is to push air out of the area using pressure and a special movement. With water you will be able to see the results, however when pushing water out of an area, the water has to go somewhere else.

PPPPSSSHHHH!!!

Water was ejected out of the pool and around the room thoroughly soaking everything in its way, including everyone watching. After the water vacuum couldn't push water any more the water almost instantly came back like an implosion, stirring up the target and making waves. Logan who couldn't move grab onto anything was also swept harmlessly away.

After everything calmed down, Logan got out of the pool and went to the now soaked Shi Feng.

Everyone had forgotten to watch the video because they got surprised by the water wave, so Professor Chen replayed the video and was astonished.

The technique Logan created was amazing. It had also worked exactly how Logan said. "Logan has passed. Also since everyone is soaked we will take an hour brake to get back into shape." Saying this, Professor Chen dismissed the class to go get some dry clothes.

Logan, on the other hand had dried his clothes with a technique using fast vibration when everyone had walked out.

After that the day went by how it should have. Everyone passed, Shi Feng included, however only by one bullet. Logan cheered him on through the whole test. Shi Feng was the last to test, so when he finished everyone went back to their dorms.

When Logan and Shi Feng got to their dorm, Shi Feng wanted to immediately play VR together.

Ring Ring!!!

Logan's phone rang, it was his grandpa.

"Hey grandpa! What's up?" Logan asked.

"Hey Logan, your 'bio dad' has a battle VR program and he wanted me to recommend the strongest person I knew. Obviously I would have voted myself however he had figured out some beat me 8 years ago. So I figured since it's summer break, you could come try it out. Maybe it could push you to another level of strength. You are probably already in a higher realm then the little known Ascension realm and no one knows what is higher than the domain realm (control master from Guild Wars). I think it's a good opportunity to see if you can improve." Logan's grandpa said.

"Hmm, Alright. I'll be there tomorrow. I need a refill of 'food' anyway." Logan said to his grandpa.

Logan turned to Shi Feng and said, "My grandpa said he wants me to come home for summer break. Do you want me to bring you home too?"

"Ah, yeah sure. When are we leaving?" Shi Feng said in hesitation.

"Tomorrow." Said Logan.

"Ugh, Alright. I guess that means we can only play later." Shi Feng knew this was going to happen. Shi Feng knew Logan never really liked college. He knew Logan would want to leave as soon as possible. Shi Feng just thought that Logan used his grandfather as an excuse to go home.

And so the next day the both left in Logan's car to go home. Logan lived relatively close to Shi Feng, so going together was the obvious choice.

After Logan dropped Shi Feng off and went home he immediately went to see his grandpa. Their house was bigger than average, but still could not be considered a mansion. It only had two stories, with no basement. The his grandpa would normally either be in the living room relaxing or in the back yard training.

With the world being as advanced as it was, his grandpa being only in his late 70s meant he only looked in his 40s - 50s and with the quality of nutrients being only S-Grade and sometimes life potions, even if his body looked in his 40s - 50s he could move more like he was in his 30s. However he was still considered to be past his prime even if he felt like he was in it.

Finding his grandpa in the living room, Logan asked, "So what do I have to do?"
