Fight(II)!

As the news of Drake Malvern 's swift departure and the incident circulated, it created a buzz among the students of Class 36 in Grade 12. The classroom discussions were filled with whispers and excited chatter, and Alexis's classmates couldn't help but share their opinions and speculations about the event.

As Alexis was a fellow student in their class, it was only natural for his classmates to take a keen interest in the situation. Being directly involved in the confrontation with Drake Malvern , Alexis became the focal point of attention within their class.

However, Alexis's face showed no emotion. After he finished eating in the cafeteria, he returned to the rooftop of the school building. There was still over half an hour until afternoon classes, and he wanted to spend that time studying the Super Hatred System further, uninterrupted.

"System, earlier you mentioned that Hatred Points can be exchanged for items. How exactly can they be exchanged?" Alexis inquired.

Ding!

With a resounding "ding" sound, a virtual panel materialized in Alexis's mind, presenting a shop. The shop showcased a diverse array of items including weapons, elixirs, martial arts techniques, and skills, offering a vast selection. It resembled an online store where one could acquire any desired object.

[ Host, as long as you possess a sufficient amount of Hatred Points, you have the ability to acquire any item listed within ] the system's voice transmitted.

Promptly following his intention, Alexis clicked on the section dedicated to martial arts techniques, causing a new page to instantaneously appear on the screen.

On the page, a list of various martial arts techniques appeared:

.....

.....

As Alexis observed the prices displayed above, he was taken aback. The HP required for each item ranged in the tens or even hundreds of billions, rendering it seemingly impossible for him to afford any of them. Glancing at his meager 120 HP, he came to the realization that he couldn't even purchase a single strand of someone else's hair.

"Never mind," Alexis thought to himself, "I already possess the <Pure Yang Immortal Art>. Instead of exploring more martial arts techniques, I should focus on checking out the martial skills." Martial arts techniques served as the foundation, enabling individuals to refine their bodies, assimilate the essence of the world (Qi), and ascend to a superhuman state.

Martial skills are the pinnacle techniques that grant the ability to unleash tremendous power. The potency of a martial skill correlates directly with the intensity of its effects. For instance, certain martial skills may only manifest destructive force equivalent to the strength of 100 pounds, whereas advanced martial skills can amplify that force to over a thousand pounds. This exemplifies the profound disparity that martial skills can bring forth!

Indeed, the mightier a martial skill, the more arduous its cultivation and mastery become. It demands a profound comprehension of martial principles, meticulous body control, and extensive training to unlock its full potential. Only individuals who are genuinely devoted, possess exceptional talent, and demonstrate unwavering perseverance can aspire to conquer the most formidable martial skills.

As Alexis directed his attention towards the martial skills section, a new page materialized, unveiling a multitude of enigmatic and potent martial skill manuals:

...….

...….

Alexis was left in awe-struck silence, fully aware of the immense power encapsulated within these martial arts techniques simply from their names and descriptions. However, he could only gaze at them longingly, unable to acquire them. The cost of several tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of Hatred Points was an insurmountable hurdle, beyond his reach no matter the circumstances.

Despite his relentless efforts to provoke and ridicule the entire class of students, Alexis had only managed to accumulate a meager 120 Hatred Points. To amass several tens of billions of hatred points would require an extraordinarily extended period, potentially spanning years or even decades. Obtaining such an immense quantity of hatred points within a short timeframe seemed like an almost insurmountable task.

[ Host, there's no need to worry! ]

The system seems to perceive the thoughts of Alexis and responds.

[ As long as the host continues to work hard and accumulate over time, I believe that obtaining billions of hatred points will be within reach. At that time, you will be able to freely purchase all the treasures in the store.]

"Nonsense! It's easy for you to say."

Alexis couldn't help but feel a twitch in his mouth. Apart from the considerable time it would take to accumulate billions of hatred points, the process of acquiring hatred points itself was incredibly frustrating.

With a mere 120 hatred points, Alexis had already managed to become the enemy of the entire class and had drawn the attention of individuals like Yang Wei. Considering the potential consequences, one could only imagine the number of enemies he would attract if he were to accumulate 10 billion hatred points.

Indeed, accumulating 10 billion hatred points would likely entail earning the animosity of innumerable individuals, not only within the school but potentially spanning across the entire world. It would be an intimidating and arduous undertaking, one that would undoubtedly result in him being universally despised. The magnitude of such animosity would likely make him a target of resentment and aversion from a vast array of people.

It's understandable, the prospect of having the entire planet as enemies, with individuals seeking revenge and threatening harm to his entire family, would undoubtedly be overwhelming. The consequences and perils that accompany amassing such an enormous amount of hatred can be daunting and might lead him to reevaluate his pursuit of attaining high hatred points.

It is crucial to carefully consider the potential benefits against the substantial risks involved. Assessing the potential outcomes and weighing them against personal well-being and safety is essential in making an informed decision.

"Never mind, I don't need to worry about it at the moment," Alexis concluded, choosing to set aside concerns regarding the accumulation of excessive hatred points for now.

Alexis's swift thinking led him to a realization: he didn't necessarily require billions of hatred points. As long as he could exchange them for the things he needed, it would be sufficient. After all, when it came to acquiring ordinary items, the implications of potentially offending others wouldn't hold significant weight in the grand scheme of things.

Alexis acknowledged the inherent dangers and significant side effects of the system, as it had the potential to attract numerous enemies. However, he also recognized that if utilized wisely, the system could become a valuable tool in his ascent towards the pinnacle of martial arts. With careful navigation and strategic decision-making, he believed he could leverage the system's capabilities to his advantage and achieve his ultimate goals.

[ Although the host may not currently possess the means to afford such expensive items, the shop also provides more affordable alternatives that should temporarily fulfill the host's needs! ] the system assured.

After hearing the system's suggestion, Alexis promptly responded, "Please list the martial arts techniques available in the shop, starting from the lowest price and ascending to the highest."

Chime~

With a pleasant chime, the page showcasing the martial arts techniques swiftly transformed, revealing a list of budget-friendly options. The least expensive among them was priced at a mere 5 HP, encompassing basic boxing techniques and other commonly encountered martial arts forms.

"Hmm? Why does this Five Forms Fist require a 100 hatred points?" Alexis immediately noticed a martial arts technique named Five Forms Fist. It was crafted by an ancient martial arts master who meticulously observed the movements of tigers, venomous snakes, agile monkey, graceful cranes, and even powerful dragons. This comprehensive martial art encompassed a multitude of combat techniques and boasted remarkable power.

It is surprising to find a fundamental martial art like the Five Forms Fist being offered for sale in the system's marketplace at a cost of a hundred points of hatred.

Typically, such foundational martial arts would be taught as compulsory courses within a school rather than sold as individual items. This suggests that the system's shop offers a unique opportunity to acquire essential martial arts techniques outside of the conventional educational setting.

[ Because the system sells martial arts, it is an enlightening experience and a heritage. ]

The system responded.

[ Ordinary martial arts typically require the host to comprehend and practice diligently, progressing step by step. However, when the system imparts martial arts, it instantaneously implants the memories of martial techniques into the host's mind and integrates them into the host's body. This enables the host to learn them instantly, as if they were a martial arts master who had dedicated years to practice. The same approach was utilized when imparting the <Pure Yang Immortal Art>!].

"What?!"

Alexis was taken aback by the system's explanation. If what the system claimed was true, it would indeed be incredibly valuable. The ability to acquire knowledge and skills instantly would save him years of arduous training and bring immeasurable benefits. This realization sparked a sense of excitement and eagerness within him, fueling his determination to make the most of the system's capabilities and expedite his progress in martial arts.

"I'll buy it," said Alexis immediately.

The system responded, [ Yes, host! ]

In an instant, a powerful warm energy surged into Alexis's mind, enveloping him entirely. It felt as if his very soul was being pulled into a blank, white expanse devoid of any surroundings.

Under the influence of this mysterious force, Alexis's limbs seemed to be guided and manipulated as if by an unseen hand. Without hesitation, he began executing the postures of a fierce tiger, a venomous snake, an agile monkey, a graceful crane, and a powerful dragon. His body moved with unparalleled fluidity and grace, flowing like the wind itself.

As if in that very instant, Alexis underwent a remarkable transformation. He embodied the essence of a fierce tiger, a venomous snake, an agile monkey, a graceful crane, and a powerful dragon all at once. A formidable beastly aura emanated from him, and his fists and feet moved in perfect harmony, unleashing a combination of power, speed, and grace that surpassed anything he had ever experienced before. It was as if he had become an embodiment of the primal forces of nature itself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Alexis unleashed a flurry of punches, the surrounding air reverberated with explosive booms. Each strike generated shockwaves that rippled through the atmosphere, carrying with them a terrifying and overwhelming force. The sheer power behind his punches was awe-inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it.

Within the boundless white space, Alexis persisted in his training with unwavering dedication, devoting himself tirelessly for decades on end. With each passing day, he tirelessly honed his skills in the Five Forms Fist, pushing himself to the limits of his abilities. Through unyielding practice, he gradually ascended to a state of perfection, where his mastery of the martial art became transcendent. His movements became effortless, his strikes precise, and his understanding of the Five Forms Fist reached unparalleled heights.

Crash!!

With a sharp and crisp sound, the pristine white space shattered, abruptly yanking Alexis's soul back into his physical body. The sudden transition jolted him, bringing him back to his earthly existence once more.

"Five Forms Fist!" Alexis exclaimed, clenching his fists tightly, which produced a crisp sound. His eyes shone with a newfound sense of determination, and an air of self-confidence radiated from his being. He exuded the aura of a true martial arts master, as if he were destined for this very purpose from the moment he was born.
