Then abruptly, a screen appeared in Alex's mind.

-------------------------------------

Then the mechanical female voice rang in his head:

'Choose bracketed stats to allocate upgrade points to'

'Hmm. Alright' Alex said within.

Then he asked 'Format?'

'Say it in this format: Agility, add ten points. Dexterity, add five points' The mechanical female voice rang in his head again.

'Okay.' Alex nodded his head.

'Hmm. But how do I share the points?' He asked himself inwardly.

'What about adding fifteen points to strength, and ten points to speed. That would increase your overall body strength and then your attack and movement speed' The system's voice which was Johnny's voice rang in his head.

It was trying to advise him on what to do.

'Hmm. Alright.' Alex uttered inwardly as he agreed with the system.

'Add fifteen points to strength. Add ten points to speed' He thought.

Once the stats upgrade points were added, Alex felt his strength increase by some margin. He just suddenly felt the muscles in his body getting tighter and denser than they previously were.

'Awesome' He uttered within.

He also knew that since his physical strength had increased by some amounts, his speed would definitely increase too.

The screen vanished from his mind and he began to walk back towards Olivia and Nailah who calmly waited for him in the distance.

The fat boy in the crater had long fainted due to loss of blood. However, since he was a cultivator, he would surely heal. But very slowly as only pills would increase the rate of his healing.

Few moments later, Alex got to where Olivia and Nailah were. Then he held their hands and began to walk away with them.

The people that were in the street who were previously watching the battle but have gone back to their shops saw Alex. Then they smiled as they guessed right that Alex was going to win.

Of course he should be able to win. They thought.

It would only be a terrible disappointment, embarrassment and disgrace if someone that was a friend to the Great Holy daughter of the Immovable Mountain academy was beaten by some cultivator that roamed and bullied every living thing in the street, one that wasn't affiliated to any establishment except boast of the family that he from, whereas he who was a friend to the genius of that academy should be affiliated to an organization or an establishment. So they guessed that when the battle ended, Alex should emerge as the winner.

Besides, they were happy that Alex gave him a good beating. Although they weren't there, they could still think this because of the fat boy's terrified scream and the loud booming sounds that rang out in the far distance where the battle between them occurred.

After the battle, they believed that the bullying fat boy would be more humble.

Unknowing to Alex, someone who was watching him was recording the whole battle, the one that took place before the battle and the ones after it.

***

In a large projection screen could be seen Alex holding Olivia's hand. And when the expensively clothed person watching the screen saw the deeply affectionate way that Olivia looked at Alex with, flames of anger that could seemingly burn everything to ashes surfaced in his heart.

With an angry roar, he asked "Who the fuck is that boy holding Olivia's hand?"

"Senior Drille, I don't know too. But from the way that they interacted, they must be... Uhm.. I think lovers" The person that was asked the question who was also the same person that recorded the battle that took place between Alex and the fat boy immediately said in a stuttering manner and out of fear of being attacked.

"Lovers? How dare he be with my love interest? You know what you would do for me, I want you to gather about ten boys to go there and beat that motherfucker up. Then humiliate him by spitting and urinating in his face, and leave a message for him that he should stay away from Olivia, that she's the love interest of the Bone-sawing Evilchild"

"Alright, senior Drille. Your message would be definitely well delivered."

Then the person that responded stood to his feet to go do what the boss of their group ordered.

The person named 'Bone-sawing Evilchild' was one of the most ruthless seniors in the 'Ancient Heavenly Cauldron academy.' He was someone that loved beauties and would do anything to make them come to his side. Apart from loving beauties, he loved to take other people's possessions, especially the ones that he targeted. Ninety-five percent of what he had was taken from people that he wickedly killed. He was simply someone not to be involved with as one could end up dying.

Another reason why he was like this was because, apart from being a battle genius himself who had fought many cultivators in the past and came out victorious, he had a powerful twin brother and sister and an uncle. His older twin brother and sister were in the Saint stage while his uncle was in the Saint Emperor stage. That was what caused his arrogance to know no bounds.

With a smile surfacing on his lips, he said "Olivia, sooner or later, and whether you like it or not, you will receive my beefy rod. Hahaha"

"When would you leave girls alone and focus on cultivation? Now, the girl that you have placed in your sight is the Great Holy Daughter of the Immovable Mountain academy. Why are you so bent on causing a war between schools." Someone who had appeared asked.

"Sister Lenna, I am not causing any war. I just want to have a taste of that beauty."

Lenna who was his older sister and was one of the twins said "How soon you have forgotten that she's the holy daughter of that academy. She's still a virgin and can't be touched. Unless you want to provoke the school into action for touching their student who is one of the few people that they take great pride in"

Hahaha!

Drille laughed.

"And so? If they are provoked, so what? What can they actually do except be killed like bugs by the fearsome experts in our academy." He said.

Then he continued "Sister, if you remember from history that you were taught, this academy has started thousands of years before the founder of the immovable mountain academy could even become a cultivator. We have so many experts that if a war ever took place between the academy, the immovable mountain academy would be instantly reduced to rubbles."

"Hmm" Lenna said.

"Well, don't be too confident about that. True that we may have way more experts than them and who are at higher cultivation stages, and would absolutely possess better offensive and defensive treasures than them, there could be some factors that we would have unknowingly left out and which may definitely result in our complete ruin and destruction." She spoke further, trying to elaborate on her reason why he shouldn't try to provoke the academy talked about into action.

"What bullshit are you saying sister?" Another person that just appeared asked angrily.

This was Drille's older brother, Maximilian.

"Drille, carry on with what you intend to do. The school wouldn't let harm come to you who is one of their greatest favorites"
