A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 108: Training the dragon

But this time around, an information of an earth-related power-body appeared in his head.

Although he was excited, he didn't think too much about it. Straightaway, he deployed it transformation method. 

His body turned dark brown in color and then he became mountainous in size. Two pairs of massive arms that seemed like they were carved from large rocks extended from the sides of his abdomen. 

When he transformed, he immediately utilized a movement technique of the physique. 

[Earth Striding Unstoppable Swift step] 

Then the earth opened up like a hole to a depth of hundred feet in which Alex immediately jumped into. Then because of his great mass and increasing his plummeting speed using his earth-control power, he reached that depth in no time. 

The instant Alex jumped into the hole that manifested as a result of the deployment of the physique's movement technique, it rapidly closed back after him. 

Then when he got to that depth, he began to traverse it horizontally to a random place at a shocking speed. Although it was pitch-black in here, Alex whose eyes was intense yellow could see very well. The lack of light in here didn't affect his vision at all. 

Releasing the earth-manipulation power of the physique to it maximum, he created a large tunnel for himself which instantly closed as he went through them.

He wasn't running as the technique implied, instead he was riding on a fast-moving wave of earth that in less than a minute, he had gone many miles beyond the school's field which stretched for many kilometers. 

Then at a new place that was very far away from the school, the earth opened into a massive hole again. 

Now using another technique called 'Heaven-piercing Earth Pillar', a tall column, formed from earth materialized below his feet and shot him upwards at a great speed. 

Then when he reached the crust of the earth, the column shooting his enormous, rock-like, dark brown body up the hole halted. 

He then quickly walked away from the column he formed using the earth-control power of the physique to the ground. 

After he walked away from it, the large hole instantly closed up. 

"Cool" He said inwardly. 

He was amazed by the power of the physique.

Then he focused on his body and willed himself to change. 

In an instant his body returned to normal. 

Then he fell to the ground exhausted. 

"Phew! Not easy" he said. 

When he was moving in the earth, he began to feel dizzy. That was why he immediately came out of it or he would be buried in it. 

After resting on the ground for sometime, he looked into dad's spatial necklace and brought out a bottle that contained pills. 

On the body of the bottle was a label with the name "Soul Invigorating Pill" written in it. 

Although the entity controlling the Azure Beastsman's palace which had gone back to slumber hasn't told Alex that he needed to cultivate soulforce energy so that he would be able to last longer with the physiques, Alex being an intelligent boy was able to come up with his own deductions which was that his mind wasn't strong enough to withstand the pressure exerted by the physiques on his soul. 

Then he searched for something that would help his mind and so he came across the soul invigorating pill. This type of pill he discovered recently when he went through his father's massive collections and mountain-sized heaps of cultivation pills again.

He swallowed many of them and he felt a wonderful sensation course through his body. This sensation was brought about by the soulforce energy that appeared in his body on dissolution of the soul invigorating pill. 

Then the energy moved into the soul-dwelling region of Alex's body where it infused into the immaterial, fog-like soul that inhabited that realm of his body. That realm was called the soul realm or soul inhabitation dimension. 

Alex at the moment couldn't see his soul or know what it looked like. It was only when he got to a particular cultivation stage would it turn from it incorporeal, fog-like state to a corporeal state where it would take Alex's true body form. 

When Alex felt that his soul had refreshed and the dizziness he felt earlier had vanished, he brought out the dragon from the beast storage bag and returned the bag into the Azure Beastsman's spatial ring.

"Alright. Time to fly Nojra" Alex said.

Raagh!

The dragon growled.

Taking it growl as a yes, Alex channeled his mutated strengthforce energy to his arm muscles. Then mustering great strength, he threw the dragon hundreds of feet into the air. 

"Fly!" He roared. 

Nojraagon which was now hundreds of feet above the ground began to flap it wings trying to stabilize itself in the air and fly. But it couldn't as it hadn't gained much strength to do such thing.

Then it fell towards the ground from that height which was about hundreds of feet.

Seeing Nojraagon plunge to the earth from that altitude, Alex quickly dashed towards the place it was falling to. 

Then with a stomp of a foot against the ground, he shot himself hundreds of feet into the air and caught Nojraagon which he embraced to himself. Then he landed back to the ground.

Alex smiled at it and asked "Would you like to go again?"

Raagh!

Nojraagon growled again.

"Haha. That's how a divine beast should be. Fearless" Alex grinned and said.

Then he threw it very high into the air again.

This time, Nojraagon lasted in the air for a few moments before it dropped back to the ground. Alex leapt towards it again and caught it.

Before he could throw it into the air again, he suddenly heard a mesmerizing voice.

"The dragon seems like a newly hatched one. You are just wasting your time and it time. It doesn't have the strength to fly yet. Wait for it to develop so he could have the strength to fly."

Huh!

Alex turned to see who spoke and saw Karen.
