Ignorant Beauty
The woman glued his eyes on Kent and didn't look away until Kent had disappeared at the end of the walking path.
Kent's appearance is something else, giving off a different presence, her instinctive sense's gave her a pressure of dominance.
'it can't be! "wait" the woman shouted, however Kent had long left the area.
Earlier he sense the three people's energy within them but didn't give much attention to it. Their were countless people living in the planet to the 12 billion earthlings alive 2-5 percent of those number had some kind of connection to martial practice or magic craft.
Earth had a history and a bit of knowledge to such mythical insight, as such Kent wasn't so surprised and just passed through. Compare to the knowledge in Celestial World, Earth's knowledge is far behind and can be compared to be pitiful.
"Grandfather he isn't right?"
The old man reply shaking his head.
"Should I conduct a investigation?"
The bodyguard ask…
"their no need for such a thing, moreover offending someone of that level is something we couldn't afford"
The guard nodded, while on the other hand the woman's eye's it still glued to the area where Kent passed through.
After returning to his rented home at the middle community, Kent found a breakfast stall and ate a big meal compatible to that of five people. He then went to the supermarket and bought some groceries.
He went to bed and slept for half a day recovering from the excessive essence gathering he did back then. Even do nothing was shown side effect from the outside, but within him the energy is yet to be stabilize to such reason Kent need to stabilize the energy within him preventing any type of damage internally.
As soon as he got out of his bed, he went straight back to the sun-compass river fall heading straight to the Balete tree.
When Kent finally arrived, he was surprised to find someone else had already taken his spot under the Balete tree.
It was that same girl with the ponytail that he had met yesterday, and she was practicing martial arts under the tree. Soon, Kent noticed that she was not alone. The old man stood behind the tree and watched over the girl's practice. From time to time, he would stop the girl to offer some advice and guidance.
At the side the guard's sharp-eye's was sitting atop a huge rock practicing while staying vigilant.
'Wasn't that the same group of strangers he had met yesterday morning?'
Kent thought recalling the group of people that he didn't pay much heed to.
Observing the girl's progress, Kent can't help but let out a laugh of amazement, thankful the distance between the group is quite large only Kent could take notice of the group whole the other party didn't know or sense his presence.
Kent was in a hurry yesterday, so he wasn't able to take a good look at the group, but after observing the them for a while, he was shocked by what he found.
Even do they don't possessed a great technique for essence gathering, the energy within their body is compatible to that of a middle tier stage 1, at this stage they're already immune to any type of normal firearms.
Unfortunately the quality of aura within them is quite lacking and weak to the point, where a breath from Kent could destroy it without any form of resistance.
Kent gazed at the group, the girl's exquisite face and tenacious body, she carried an almost heroine-like quality in every single movement. Even the simple act of lifting an arm seemed like a confirmation of beauty.
After filling up his curiosity, he was satisfied, he gathered himself and continued watching the girl's practice.
From time to time, he would shake his head disapprovingly, beauty isn't important in the long run people that breakthrough the limit of mankind would slowly change from both the outside and in the inside.
Even if he or she is someone who had a ugly appearance, by breaking through stage's their appearance would slowly change.
Kent slowly got near the group while still observing the girl, sensing someone staring at her, she was a bit startled.
The girl had noticed Kent's gaze, and it didn't sit well with her. She paused and asked in a hostile manner, "What are you staring at? Who are you stopped hiding?"
She's yet to knew who stalking her staying vigilant.
The guard and the old man increase their guards at the same time, fighting power increasing from the two.
But after a few seconds Kent's appearance that didn't gave off a sense of hostility was seen staring at the girl.
"ah! Where are you looking at? Buzz of and stop staring"
Yet to recognize Kent the girl continue her curses and threats.
Moments second's passed Kent's appearance was shown, she quickly shut her mouth.
She felt a bit embarrassed for cursing Kent indecisively, she had never saw someone as handsome as Kent and was cautious not because of he's mysteriousness but because of his appearance.
Kent having an attractive appearance his silver blue hair flutter in the wind without restraint's, having a well-proportional body for a teen where beautiful pale white shoulder muscle's gave of a stunning perfect proportion, combined with the imposing aura he gave off Kent is someone who had cross the limit of regular human capabilities.
Ignoring the girl's statements, Kent glanced at the old man and found out that he, too, possessed a greater energy within him, and he was much more powerful than the girl.
Kent wagered that the amount of power in the old man was on par to that of stage 3. In other words, his power was above that of Kent, at least for now.
However the power the old men could release is quite low compared to the energy he possessed. In a single glace Kent could tell that the old man is suffering to some kind of injury.
The old man could only used a beginning level of stage two power, making the gap between them for the moment quite large, unfortunately for the old man Kent could coup in the difference of energy by relying to quality instead of quantity.
If they were to fight Kent was confident that he would be able to defeat the old man even if he had to face five of him at the same time. Kent had the confidence of winning against the three people in front of him without letting a single sweat pour down.
It isn't arrogance but reality. Realizing that there was nothing else to see, Kent found a huge rocked at the other side.
Kent jump off through the river, the river is quite large he drop off at the middle, using a technique, Kent walk atop the water surface in a fast speed heading straight to the other side.
The three people spectating was dumbfounded at this shown of prowess.
"A master" the old man let out voice, on the side his two companions where dumbfounded at the old man's sudden declaration.
Kent sat cross-legged above the huge rock and started to gather essence from the river directly. Yesterday Kent could only gather a small amount of essence from the Balete tree using it as a medium where his new body is yet to adjust from the excessive and dangerous essence.
However now, Kent worries isn't needed after absorbing quite a large amount of essence while adjust to it, Kent was satisfied and confident that mediums isn't needed anymore. He could absorb more energy than usual ten time greater compare to yesterday.
His body and mind quickly entered the perfect state as he initiated the Chaotic Void Forging Purification Technique.
Then a small black hole like vortex appeared in his hand quickly absorbing the surrounding essence within the surrounding on a fast phase.
Time passed. Kent absorbed the surrounding energy in large quantities.
The old man observed Kent's action's.
"Huh?" After a while, the old man suddenly gasped in surprise realizing something unbelievable.
"What's going on, Grandpa?" Erica ask surprised to her grandpa's reaction that shown a huge surprise, unlike when the time her grandpa pointed that the young man was a master level.
"Look at him carefully, did you see that?." The old man's face hardened pointing at Kent's direction.
"See what?" Erica squinted her eyes and failed to see anything extraordinary.
"Pay attention to the technique he been using observe the surrounding energy within the atmosphere, go and sense the flow of essence throughout the area, try to connect to the nature." The old man pressed on, pointing thing's that Erica should do.
"What is that?" Erica frowned after observing and sensing what her grandpa pointed.
"This is a very advanced method of harnessing energy no it might be ancient. It is said that only some ancient power can do it." The old man said slowly.
"I didn't expect that I could see such a genius in my lifetime. Gosh! He is so young, too it's incredible."
The old man commented in admiration.
The ponytail girl snorted, "He just have a ancient technique to help him improve faster what genius don't you think your overrating him grandpa." Erica stated not convinced at her grandpa's statements.
