Chapter 94: Show of strength I
Immediately Damon said this, Jennifer's eyes and the instructors' shone with deep surprise. Then they looked at her and began to offer their congratulations with amiable smiles in their faces.
Jennifer nodded and smiled back at them. She was incredibly happy but she didn't show it.
Why Damon made Jennifer the principal was because Jennifer was powerful enough to fight and kill a sage general-stage expert by herself. He believed the others wouldn't be able to accomplish such an impossible feat. So he put her there to fill the empty post as he felt only her was worthy.
Being a principal, more cultivation resources would be delivered to one. The cultivation materials that would be offered to anyone in this post could be said to be one that would support the cultivation of a grand saint emperor stage-cultivator.
Besides, she had the spatial rings of Gerald and Lady Poisonheart. Those were sage general-stage cultivators and would have many resources which they have gathered for several hundred thousands of years. Also, she has the sage-stage cultivator inheritance which her mom passed to her.
Thinking of the amount of wealth she now had. She smiled. Then she recalled that boy that made her have all these and she gave a wide smile.
She saw Alex as her lucky star. Ever since she met him, many good things had been happening to her. So she felt.
Although Jennifer knew that she almost died on three occasions because of him, but she was able to overcome those auras of death that wanted to engulf every inch of her being solely with what he gave her. Without him, all these she had would never be in her possession. These were the thoughts that surfaced in her mind when she imagined Alex in her head.
Thinking further, she believed that she was now far stronger than experts in her cultivation rank, that she now had fearsome treasures in her possession which her peers would never ever imagine having, that she had now accomplished what she always wanted to accomplish which was to slay the killer of her mom and had gained the wealths of experts many ranks above hers all because of him.
She believed that if she hadn't met him, she would never have come across all these. That's why she saw him as her lucky star.
Her heart was filled with bliss and gladness upon just thinking about all these. For now, her cultivation breakthrough into the sage general stage would be smooth.
When they were done with the meeting, they left the place Damon made into an office to their various residences.
Alex at the moment had gotten to Jennifer's residence. But he remained outside with Jake. He wondered if she was in. But when the thought that she could have probably gone to look for him again surfaced in his mind, he inwardly uttered 'I hope not'.
Just as he prepared to enter the residence, he saw Jennifer coming towards him from afar. Beside her was Jane who was full of smiles.
She was smiling happily at the thought that since her friend was now a principal, she would be able to get more cultivation resources. She would shamelessly ask for more of them from Jennifer and she believed Jennifer would never refuse her requests.
Jennifer saw Alex and the smile in her face widened. She wanted to get to her residence first to confirm if Alex wasn't there before she flew out of the academy to go search for him.
When she got to his side, she began to ruffle his hair with an affectionate smile surfacing from her lips. Alex smiled back too.
Jane saw the smiles in the faces of Jennifer and Alex and shook her head. She couldn't understand why both were smiling at each other like that.
Alex said "Instructor Jennifer, the buildings. They look like someone put pieces of walls together. Is there any person doing this or it's a power from some sort of arrays?"
"Nope. It's the academy's founder. He is around. He arrived from a higher world when he got a distress signal from the instructors" Jennifer replied.
"Hmm. Okay." Alex said shaking his head in awe.
Then he began to wonder how powerful the man must be for him to produce buildings from pieces of wall and maintain the towering forms they had taken without collapsing back to the ground.
"So Alex, I have a good news to share. I have been made the principal of the academy" Jennifer said with a smile.
Alex's and Jake's eyes widened in surprise. Then they offered their congratulations.
Jennifer smiled at them. Then she came closer to Alex and curled an arm around his neck. She then walked into her residence with him.
Jane and Jake entered the building too. When they got in, Jennifer removed her arm and pushed Alex to Jake's side. Then she went to her room with Jane who followed behind her with a smile. While Jake pulled Alex who was looking confused to the room they both stayed in.
Once they got in, Jake said with a grin "Well, I guess there's no need to stay here again. The coast is now clear right?"
"Yea. We would move out very soon." Alex replied.
Jake nodded. Then he looked at his bed's furniture. It lied on the ground in pieces.
"Great. Now I would have to sleep on the ground pending the time new furniture would be brought In" Jake said unhappily.
"I guess so." Alex said.
They looked around at the spacious room and could see pieces of wood scattered all over the ground. They were covered with white dust that was produced by the walls when they collapsed.
Since they couldn't sit with the room looking like that, they began to clean it.
Next day...
Many people arrived at the school. There were about a hundred of them. These people were mortals who were professional bricklayers, carpenters and so on. They were here to fix the school's ruined state. To return it to it previous beautiful look. They were called by Damon to come plaster the buildings, create new furniture and do other stuffs.
Alex at this point in time was in the academy's field. He was in there together with Jake, Elena and many others. They were busy carrying away large shreds of trees on the ground.
The trees had been destroyed by the residual rampaging energy waves that surfaced from the energy-attacks collision.
Their plan was to regrow new trees since the old ones had been damaged beyond repair. When they moved away the large tree pieces littering the entire field that spanned kilometers in size and uprooted the old ones from the soil, they would plant new seeds in the ground.
Everyone of them had been in the field clearing it for hours. Bathing under the sun, they sweated as they carried on with their tedious works.
As they worked, one of a group of tall, burly boys at the peak condensation stage came to Alex's front and said looking at Alex "Bro, I have been hearing some news of how you are very strong. But I don't fucking believe this. You may be a genius that would beat everyone when it comes to battle but when talking about pure physical strength, you would be a worm."
Alex was surprised.
'These guys. Don't they ever get tired of picking on people smaller in size to them? I guess they never will"
"Alright. What are you driving at?" He asked the tall, burly boy in front of him.
"Since you are renowned to be so strong. Let us have a small contest. Show us your upper body and how physically strong you are. Let us see how powerfully built your body is and the strength your arms possesses" The boy replied with a chuckle.
"Come on. Why would I ever want to do that? I can't reveal my upper body in public. Am sorry" Alex said.
The boy's smile grew wide. Then he said with a loud voice so everyone would hear and look over.
"Oh really?! You are scared of just revealing your upper body and strength? And me here thought you don't back down from any contest. You are a cowardly genius man!"
Immediately he said this, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of that loud voice and saw Alex and a brawny boy in front of him.
Alex at the moment was looking at the boy in front of him with an irritated gaze.
"Give me one reason why I should do that?" He asked again. Annoyance could be perceived in his voice.
"Well, no reason really. It's just to impress everyone in here. We have been working hard for hours now. Let us have a small show to entertain them. Let us show them who's well-built and stronger between the two of us." The boy replied with a smile that gave the feeling of confidence.
"Oh. You want to use me as a ladder to fame. Because you have large arms, broad chest and a great muscular physique you think you would have a more impressive physique and strength than me? Well, since that is what you want, I would be glad to obliged your request"
The boy nodded with a smile hung on his lips. Then using a hand, he ripped off his cloth to reveal his upper body.
The instant he did, shocked gasps rang out of everyone's mouth. What they could see was an astonishingly large muscular chest. Then he flexed the bicep of an arm to show powerful it was. It came bulging out, looking like a rock.
Astounded exclamations filled the atmosphere. With a victorious smile in his face as he looked at Alex, he clasped his fist and a thunderous boom sounded out. It was so loud it felt like dozens of thunder bolts struck at once. Everyone had to cover their ears or they could probably go deaf.
The boy's action produced a shocking physical effect on the surrounding. This effect was a furious gale which surfaced from the collision of his palm and his fist causing dust to be swept into the air and pushing people backwards.
The sudden rush of violent wind made everyone behind Alex move back by many feet. The wind possessed a knock-back power.
Only Alex remained standing at his spot. But he knew how powerful the wind was. If he didn't permeate his leg and arm muscles with strengthforce energy, he would have been flung far away as he was directly in front of the boy.
After the boy showed how outrageously powerful he was, Alex came to an understanding that the boy in front of him was a body cultivator. He had great physical strength. Then he began to wonder what level the boy had reached in cultivating his body.
Alex smiled at him as he applauded at the same time.
"Impressive" he said.
"Alright. Show us your physical strength" The boy said impatiently.
