Chapter 9 - The Weak Need Not Be Respected
The next morning, Vincent was woken up by a foul smell.
He got up quickly to take a shower. He wanted to turn on the valve but had twisted it off by accident instead.
Looking at the valve in his hand, Vincent was stunned for a long time as he felt like he did not use much strength.
After reinstalling the valve, he then carefully proceeded to take three showers until the stench on his body had disappeared.
When he looked into the mirror, his original dark-colored skin had turned into a healthy wheat color.
The bulging muscles on his body were tighter than before, and his figure was perfect.
Even the wound that was caused by the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf on the day before had disappeared.
Clenching his fists, he felt an unprecedented strength flow through him. It was indeed substantial.
"The body forging medicine is indeed powerful!"
Vincent was pleasantly surprised.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Chris.
"Hi! Vincent, have you seen the information I sent you last night?"
"Information?"
Vincent was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"I"m sorry, teacher Chris. I didn"t notice it when I was training last night."
"Oh! You"re really hard-working."
Chris smiled and said, "You have to know how to combine work and rest. After all, you"ve just awakened your superpower. Don"t be anxious."
"Alright, teacher Chris."
Vincent followed her advice.
"Oh right, teacher Chris, I plan to go to Blazing City at the end of the month."
Blazing city was the city where the Quinn Advanced Superpower School was located.
The entire city was divided into five parts, while the Quinn School had six branches.
Hence, it was nicknamed the "Beautiful Blazing City within the powerful Quinn School."
"Really?"
Chris was very happy when she heard Vincent"s words.
"This is a good thing for you. After all, Ellis city is too backward and is no longer suitable for you."
"When you arrive at the school, you may report yourself directly. Your genes have been recorded before, and the school has your information."
"I"ll contact you when I return to the school."
Chris asked Vincent some more questions, and the two of them hung up the phone shortly after.
Vincent then went to turn on his computer to check the email that Chris had sent him.
It contained some common knowledge about superpowers, as well as the methods and precautions to take during training.
It was not much, but one of the six stages of using superpowers caught Vincent"s attention and interest.
The six stages of using superpowers were middle school and high school level-three, and above that were special, free, and undamaged.
The beginner level only needed to release power outside of the body. However, it would waste 100% of the power.
At this stage, every awakened superpower user could do it.
The intermediate level needed to compress power to the size of a basketball, and 80% of the power would be wasted.
In other words, after reaching the intermediate level, the superpower would increase by 20%.
Vincent was a man of action, so he quickly started experimenting.
He opened his right hand and gathered power in his palm.
Bang!
At first, the power could not be gathered together, and it was very scattered.
As Vincent tried to compress it, the power suddenly exploded and gradually disappeared.
When he tried again, he faced the same result.
Vincent felt that something was wrong. He pondered for a long time, and only when his stomach growled, did he realize that it was already dark outside.
He poured himself a cup of cereal and watched as the cereal slowly disappeared into the liquid. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
The human body was like a cup. Power was like cereal.
It was natural for a lot of s.p.a.ce to be wasted when something was in a solid state. Therefore, it was key to know how to turn the power into liquid.
Cereal needed water. What did power need?
Vincent stared at the cereal in his cup and frowned.
Psionic power!
Yes!
It was psionic power!
Since it was the six stages of using a superpower, it was also a compressed power.
The most important thing was psionic power!
Vincent suddenly raised his head, his brows relaxed, and with a flip of his hand, he released h.e.l.lfire.
He then added psionic power into h.e.l.lfire, whilst controlling h.e.l.lfire to maintain the size of a basketball.
A minute later, the fireball exploded.
Vincent quickly retracted it back into his body. Otherwise, the house would have been set on fire.
After all, his parents were still missing, and he had a lot of feelings for everything in the house.
Although he did not maintain it for long, Vincent was not disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was very happy.
At the very least, it proved that his train of thought was correct. He needed to explore it further in order to master it.
For the next three days, Vincent had been compressing his psionic power at home.
By the time he left the house, the second stage of practice had been completed.
His control over his power had improved tremendously.
Apart from that, he also discovered that his power was no longer in the shape of a flame.
Instead, it would change into various shapes according to his will.
Through the test, he also discovered that the strength of a psionic power in various shapes also differed greatly.
For example, the arrow-shaped ability had an extremely strong penetrative power. It was very effective against monsters with a strong defense like the Steel Rhinoceros.
Taking into consideration the monsters outside the city, he was confident that after killing the Phantom Lion, he would still have the strength to fight another apprentice-level monster.
Most importantly, he would no longer burn the monsters completely to ashes.
After all, the monsters were full of treasures and could be exchanged for money.
After not attending school for almost seven days, Vincent decided to go back.
Although he did not really care about school, he was still a student of Ellis. Thus, he had to go back.
When he returned to school, Vincent did not see any of his cla.s.smates. Just as he was about to call Swire to ask about the situation, he saw a junior running over to him angrily.
Vincent stopped him and asked him what was going on. Only then did he realise that today was the Ellis City Intermediate School"s graduation tournament.
The purpose of the tournament was to strengthen the students" mastery of superpowers.
The reason he did not tell Vincent was because he was afraid that he would disturb Vincent"s training.
After all, as he was the only S-Cla.s.s superpowered person in the entire city, his training was the most important thing. Nothing else mattered.
Seuss Intermediate School had always been the No. 1 school in Ellis City. However, as Ellis School had awakened an S-Cla.s.s like Vincent, Seuss was extremely against Ellis Intermediate School.
So far, Ellis Intermediate School had lost three matches in a row. Swire was on stage, and he was about to lose next.
Although Vincent wanted to leave, he could not watch others bully his school and cla.s.smates.
He set off for the city square, where the compet.i.tion was held.
At the same time, in the city square arena...
"F*ck!"
Swire circled in the air impatiently. However, he could not land.
This is because the rules of the compet.i.tion forbade the use of weapons. This made him useless as he was completely unable to attack.
His opponent was a superpower person who had awakened a B-Cla.s.s elemental superpower that could control the earth mage. His offense and defense were insanely strong.
Although his level was higher than his opponent"s, he was at a disadvantage.
"Hahaha! So, this is the Ellis Intermediate School that has awakened an S-Cla.s.s superpower? It"s just average!"
The students of the Seuss Intermediate School ridiculed him in a sour tone.
The teacher stood to the side with a smile on his face. He had no intention of stopping them.
Seuss had always been the number one school in Ellis City. However, they did not have an S-Cla.s.s superpower person.
On the other hand, there was Vincent on Ellis"s side. Their hearts were filled with jealousy.
However, they knew that they could not change the circ.u.mstances. Instead, all they could do was kill Ellis"s spirit.
On Ellis"s side, both teachers" and students" faces were ashen.
Although they lost in the past, they did not lose so miserably.
Out of the three matches, they would at least win one.
Instead, they had lost all three matches. This was Ellis"s worst result.
"Bruce, you have to deal with the weak cleanly. They are not worthy of respect."
The strongest person in Seuss, Aaron, had an indifferent expression.
On stage, Bruce chuckled but did not speak. The pace of his attack on Swire became faster.
This increased the pressure on Swire, and the power consumption was even faster.
"No! I can"t hold on any longer!"
The power in Swire"s body had been exhausted. The wings on his back slowly disappeared, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Stop! We..."
Before George could finish his words, a figure had already darted out.
His movements were extremely swift.
"It"s Vincent!"
Those with good eyes recognized the figure and shouted in surprise.
Vincent jumped up and caught Swire who was falling.
At the same time, he raised his hand and fired a h.e.l.lfire arrow at Bruce.
Bruce felt the terrifying power of Vincent"s arrow and quickly set up his defense.
Five layers of earth walls were penetrated in one hit!
Bang!
Bruce was sent flying. He did not even have the chance to scream. Before he could even land, he fainted.
"You"re right. The weak really don"t need respect."
Everyone heard Vincent"s cool and calm voice.
