章節 16: Reinforcements, unmatched evasion skills

He pulled out his awareness from this book and then returned the book into the ring.

He said into the air, since he couldn't see the control entity, "When do I leave here?" he was done and ready to leave, he wanted to hurry back to the mansion and go study these manuals.

"Now!" the entity replied.

Instantly, space contorted around Alex and he was teleported from this dimension back to the place where he fought that person from the Scarlet Flame Academy.

Almost at the same, something appeared and shot into the ring at the speed of lightning.

He was surprised and quickly sent a fragment of his perception into the ring. He saw a hall, it was the hall the control entity operated in.

He recognized this as a treasure, a dual-purpose one, for both flight and defense.

"Kid, don't put yourself in danger or engage in anything that would put you in danger. I won't be able to do anything to help you. Don't think that you are powerful because you have a body not in records since the inception of cultivation, you are nothing. At this cultivation rank, you are an absolute inconsequentiality. Powerful figures would squash you like a bug. Even the ones just three ranks above you in cultivation can do so. So keep yourself out of harm's way." the entity warned and advised Alex.

Alex nodded.

It is mostly true the entity couldn't help. It only had great power in the hall as it has full control over the hall.

But it can be used as a means of escape from danger, since the hall, as a defensive, flight-treasure, can move at the speed of lightning and through the void to evade attacks or capture.

Then he thought back to that celestially beautiful lady, Olivia and yearned for her face one more time.

But he knew those guys would have long seen the blue crystal lily they were searching for and would have returned to the academy.

The goddess figure and enchanting face of Olivia had been indelibly branded into his memory. Her image would remain in his head forever.

Utilizing the "Great Wind Supreme Escapement" technique, a thin sphere of air abruptly materialized around him, and instantly, unusually strong gales of wind came over at shocking speed pushing the ball that Alex was in off into the distance.

He covered large distances extremely quickly using this technique.

Not too long, he was shot out of the cave.

Once he came out, the cyan glow in his eyes receded and the ball of air that had formed around him as well as the furious gales vanished.

But there was surprise in his eyes, as well as fear.

In front of him were more than thirty Scarlet Flame Academy students. It seemed they had congregated here hours ago to wait for him to come out in order to deal with him.

"They must have come out from different parts of the cave." Alex concluded inwardly.

Ten of the boys were in the initial-phase congeal stage, five in the initial-phase congeal stage and the rest in the Peak-phase entry stage.

One of them walked out towards Alex, this was the student of the Scarlet Flame Academy he last fought.

Alex was surprised he had recovered. Then he surmised he must have taken excellent rapid-recovery pills.

"Shocked to see me standing and not dead. Haha, in your dream bastard. I would deal with you, you never wished you came across m.."

Before he could complete his speech, Alex suddenly blew air out of his mouth which abruptly transformed into a strong gale, one with the strength to roll away a large rock.

This wind gale heaved this person and a few others, dozens of meters into the air to a far distance where they helplessly plummeted and crashed heavily into the earth.

Immediately he opened a gap for himself, he instantly rushed forward.

A thin sphere of air instantly formed around him and strong gusts of wind came over pushing off the spherical air ball Alex was in into the distance.

Others were shocked by what just happened.

Recovering very quickly from their dazzlement, they employed their own movement methods and began to chase after Alex.

They didn't tend to the ones blown away, they weren't concerned if they had sustained any injuries, they only chased after Alex to capture him and force him to produce the manual he had.

But could their movement method match that of Alex?

The gap between them and Alex grew wider and wider till Alex became very small as he was extremely far in the distance.

Not very long, he vanished from their sight.

They stopped running when Alex disappeared from their vision. Their faces turned hideous due to being furious.

Then they returned to their colleagues to help them nurse the injuries they might have sustained in their brief clash.

Alex didn't stop using this method.

Instead, he applied more power which manifested as an intensified cyan glow in his eyes.

The gusts pushing him over the ground continuously picked up more speed by leaps.

After he felt he had fully left the area, his eye color returned to normal and the round ball of air vanished.

He looked back to see if they weren't following him. Certain that he wasn't being followed, he walked on.

By now, due to the movement technique he deployed, he had reached the city.

Once he entered into the city through the city gates, he became the cynosure of all eyes.

This was because he was soiled all over. His face was brown and so was his cloth which was dark brown.

He was looking like that because of the great pain he felt earlier which caused him to tumble to the ground and roll about as it racked his entire body.

There was no way Alex was able to wash his face with water back there.

He couldn't find water anywhere and so he came out like that.

Also, he was being chased by the Scarlet Fire Academy students. There was no time to settle anywhere to find water and at least wash his face.

Besides, he couldn't change the cloth he wore as he came with only one.

The way they looked at him was filled with wonder and disgust. Alex wasn't surprised, he just ignored them and moved to where he had in mind.

"Those damned bastards" He cursed in his heart.
