The true Strong

A few powerful people got up in anger at being threatened. "You dare?" "You have no proof the pet is yours, to dare threaten us, seems like you have a death wish."

However the mysterious man simply took out a medal held it in the direction of the two who had risen up and they suddenly fell unconscious and fell down. "I've just destroyed their souls. Anyone else has objections?"

When others saw that they were stunned and scared. "Soul Cultivator Treasure!" The people yelled in fear. Soul Cultivators were among the most dangerous since their attacks harmed the soul directly and their arts were mysterious and few could defend against them. people immediately began panicking. However, this time four other people got up and on their faces was nothing but calmness. Without waiting, they flew towards the mysterious soul cultivator to attack him.

The man snorted and used the medal again, however it shined on one of the four and a transparent barrier glowed in front of that woman as she smirked and nothing happened. "Protective Soul Treasure!" The mysterious man grumbled while the woman just spoke in a cold voice to the other three. "We've finally managed to trap a soul cultivator, capture him." The five people suddenly entered 1 vs 4 battle in the air.

Others in the auction immediately took cover from the battle. No one wanted to die in the crossfire. The one was surprisingly able to hold on while fighting four others of similar strength. Each clash was causing a massive chaos and several people's heads just exploded from the crossfire. Red had crawled to a corner and hid under a body who had died, silently observing. He could see that he was no match for these people at all and just tried to minimize his presence as much as possible.

there was one person who had continued to sit on his VIP seat who continued to watch the fight with interest, but acted like he wasn't threatened at all. It was the person who had bought the feather of the angel and the scabbard among other things. It was as if he were watching a play with merriment.

Many who tried to escape died because the five were determined not to let this matter leak out, which only meant that everyone else here was a dead man.

Red has grasped this the moment the fight had begun and without ado hid himself. He had learnt to hide his presence to almost perfection in the wild times on Puratynt B, which was why he was able to do it almost naturally here.

The fight between the four and the soul cultivator lasted at least for ten minutes, but the soul cultivator couldn't keep up with four simultaneous attackers for so long and despite their severe injuries, the four had managed to capture the soul cultivator.

"This stupid beast has actually brought us an actual soul cultivator, who could've guessed he was so arrogant that he would arrive alone and hand us his cultivation art on a silver platter!" The woman laughed. However, at that moment a cough sounded out in the Auction Hall.

The four cultivators looked at the man who was sitting calmly with a smile on his face. Initially they had a murderous look on their face but the man simply threw a red card with a yellow circle at the center of it. The card began glowing and immediately transformed into ropes that tied the five cultivators. The woman suddenly had a hint of fear in her face. "Chiba Clan formation!" The four cultivators tried their best to rid of the ropes but failed and the soul cultivator was still unconscious.

"Hehe! We can't let people know that the Chiba Clan was here after all, so you'll have to stay in our dungeon!" The man laughed. All the others had been killed in the Auction Hall. Soon the man from Chiba clan and the five others disappeared.

Red acted dead for at least a couple of hours even after they had left and it was a prudent measure, because several people had thought to act like him and got up after the five had left, but were killed right outside the Auction by men from Chiba clan. When Red felt safer, he sneakily made his way out and returned to school.

Instead of reporting to the mission hall, he went and spoke to the old beggar directly. When the old beggar heard that he frowned, but he didn't say much. He called the principal and told him to give Red the credits he would get, but told him not to declare the mission from the hall as completed. Then he changed the topic.

"Kid, two months will end soon, You still have thirty people to beat. If you can't even accomplish such a simple mission don't consider me a teacher in the future." The old beggar snorted. Red rolled his eyes.

"I have just collected enough points to challenge the top 30 now, will be challenging them soon, but they are all at the peak of Foundation Establishment stage. I'm still only at Beyond Mortal Stage." Red muttered in irritation.

"Is it my fault that your cultivation technique is so trash? With such a talent you cannot even reach qi condensation, if you choose a disgusting technique that's on you." The old man laughed cruelly.

Red got pissed but scared of the old beggar's strength, he kept quiet. But in his mind he raged. "Beggar, when I get stronger I am going to pummel you until you cry!"

Red had spent the next couple of days practicing the Profound Asura Scripture. He had been polishing his sixth Chakra point, trying to unlock it. So far he had learnt five exercises in total. A punch, a kick, a movement, a finger exercise and finally a body exercise that made him turn his body in weird angles and make it extremely flexible. This exercise gave him the abilities of a gymnast in terms of flexibility. Over time as Red practiced these five together, he realized they were parts of a single profound combat art split into exercises. When Red practiced it in combination, his body kept absorbing heaven's energy with a sustained momentum that pressured a domineering energy into every cell of his body. Today he managed to finally unlock the sixth Chakra point.

When he unlocked his sixth Chakra Point, the intent in the Profound Asura Scripture once again embedded a new exercise within his mind. However, this was a very different exercise than before. It was one that trained jumping in weird angles - front, back, left, right and more. What shocked him about this exercise though was how mysterious this jump by the Asura was. When he jumped, it was impossible to figure out if he jumped or the world twisted around him. At the same time it felt like he was jumping in all directions at once, which seemed impossible and finally after jumping when he should've slowed, his pace kept appearing to change dramatically.

Red decided to practice this exercise during his next fights as he went to challenge the ranked 30.
