Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

The barrages of the sounds-based projectiles from Meng Yun finally stopped. She put down her flute and started breathing a little heavier. Droplets of sweat had formed across her brow as she tried to catch her breaths.

The relentless playing of the flute was very exhausting, and worst of all, the damned guy in front of her had somehow managed to dodge every single one of the attacks.

’How good is his evasion ability?’ she wondered.

Alex, on the other hand, wasn’t tired at all. Training for over 6 hours every night had been a norm for him during the last couple of days and the fight right now didn’t feel any different.

Now that her attack had ended, he could finally use his own. Instead of pouring Qi into his blade, he put his sword into his bag. Everyone in the room was suddenly surprised.

”Please be ready to intercept this attack,” a familiar voice spoke in Wen Cheng’s mind. He immediately got vigilant as Alex was starting to prepare for his next attack.

He made his hand into a fist and poured his Qi into it. A yellow glow started to appear in it as it started getting brighter by the second.

Men Yun immediately put her flute next to her mouth and started using more tones. A tone started playing that seemed to wrap around Meng Yun, pushing anything that came towards her, aside.

Seeing this, Alex finally let out his glowing fist, as he used the Iron Fist Punch towards Meng Yun. A large, golden-yellow energy in the form of a fist flew towards Meng Yun.

Meng Yun prepared herself to take the full force of the attack with her own technique, but suddenly, someone else appeared in front of her. He looked to see the back of the sect leader.

Wen Cheng put forth a palm and lightly sent it forward. That light palm immediately dispelled any energy the flying fist had, making it disappear as if it never had been there.

”You lost, Yunyun,” Wen Cheng said as shook off his hands and kept them behind his back.

”I… lost?” Meng Yun was confused. She never even got to face the attack, yet she had lost?

”What is going on master?” Luo Mei came forward and asked. She was very confused with what had just happened as well. One moment her master was standing with her, the next moment he was in front of Meng Yun, saying she had lost.

”If I hadn’t intercepted your junior brother’s attack just now, Meng Yun would probably have been gravely injured,” Wen Cheng said as he looked towards Alex. ’That attack just now… it was definitely in the 4th realm of Organ Tempering. But how did he get so strong suddenly?’ Wen Cheng wondered.

”Congratulations on winning, Junior brother,” Luo Mei came from the side and started patting him on the back.

”Thank you, sister.”

”Whats your current cultivation base? I can’t see it right now,” Luo Mei asked. Alex stopped using the Immortal concealment technique and let his cultivation aura spread out.

”Oh wow, you’re still at only Bone Tempering realm and you already beat Yunyun who is at Organ Tempering 1st realm. You really are very talented, little brother. More than me and senior brother ever were.”

Alex got a little embarrassed, unsure of how to respond. ” Oh, right!!,” Luo Mei shouted catching the attention of everyone in the room.

”Master said you weren’t using some of your techniques, brother, is that correct?” Luo Mei asked.

”Yes, that is true,” Alex simply replied.

”Oh, Why didn’t you use it then? Were you trying to use Yunyun as training?” Luo Mei kept on asking the question.

”Oh no, Of course not. I wasn’t trying to handicap myself or anything like that. It was just that… the match would’ve been over immediately if I used them.” Alex replied genuinely.

”You would’ve won immediately? Are you saying you can win against Yunyun immediately if you wanted to?” Luo Mei asked after hearing Alex’s reply.

”Well, kind of. Yes.”

”Oh,” Luo Mei said with surprise. ”How many techniques did you not use?” she asked.

”Umm…” Alex counted in his head, and said, ”3 primary ones.”

”Primary ones? What does that mean?” Luo Mei asked curiously.

”Well, there were 3 techniques I had thought of absolutely not using. Others I just didn’t have to.” Alex said.

Meng Yun’s eyes turned wide. Not only had he admitted to having handicapped himself, he also said he could’ve been fine with a little more handicap. That was just an insult to injury for her.

”Really?? wow. You will be as strong as me at this rate.” Luo Mei said. After chatting for a bit more time, Luo Mei took Meng Yun and returned back to their houses.

After the ladies were gone, Wen Cheng finally asked a question that was burning deep in his heart. ” What is going on, Yu Ming? Why was your attack so strong?”

”Yeah. I wanted to tell that to you earlier but didn’t get the time, Master. After I took in that blood essence, my Iron Fist Punch has gotten a significant leap in power.

”I did feel it. Go on, use it once more on me. Let me see it once more.” Alex did as Wen Cheng said and attacked him with the full force of his Iron Fist Punch.

It was much stronger than last time, barely touching on the threshold of the 5th realm of Organ Tempering. ”It really is so much stronger. It wasn’t like this Saturday night, was it?”

”No master, and for some reason, that is the only ability that has increased in power. All others are still the same power as they were before.” Alex was really confused by the current situation, and it seemed Wen Cheng had no idea either.

”I don’t think we can do anything about it for now. Go read the records in the library and see if there is anything about it in there tomorrow.” That was the only advice Wen Cheng could come up with for now.
