Scribble, scribble, scribble…The classroom was so silent that the only sounds heard were the movement of pen and paper. Jon was concentrating intently on his test. The materials he had studied the night before were fresh in his mind. "I read about this while researching the crystal," he was encouraged as he could answer some questions with ease. "Items can enhance a person's physical abilities, such as immunity and strength. This is the result of energy transfer from the object to the owner…"Ring, ring, ring…The school bell signaling the end of the lesson rang. "Please stop writing students," Jon's form teacher loudly ordered as she prepared to collect her students' test scripts. One by one, the students handed in their papers and left the classroom. As soon as Jon's form teacher collected his work, he heaved a sigh of relief. He walked out of the class feeling as though a heavy burden had lifted off his shoulders. Bump!"Hey blockhead," Raphael smirked as he shoved Jon asid
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 19: Aptitude and Attitude
Jon rushed to look for his mentor at their usual training location after class the next day.He found Master Hui predictably reading a book at a bench. He slowly approached the bench and sat down. "Master Hui, could you tell me more about what you said to me yesterday?" Jon asked politely with a sheepish expression. Master Hui looked up from his book and gently replied him, "I will answer your question with a question: how did you improve so quickly?" "It is exactly as you have said: hard work," Jon confidently answered. Master Hui stood up then turned, hiding his face from Jon and placing his hands behind his back. "His answer tells me that he is not ready," Master Hui discerned. "I will tell him the truth when the time is right."After a short interval of contemplation, he turned to face Jon again."When you have more power, you will attract the attention of your rivals. This is a hard truth in our world. The sooner you learn it, the better it is for you," Master Hui voiced his
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 20: Sparring Session
Boom!Green ninja stars made from concentrated energy flew across the training room and hit the wall. Melissa had swiftly dodged before she counterattacked. Crack!As she moved her arm, yellow energy flowed throughout her whip, as if it was a flash of lightning in a stormy sky. Before the whip could reach him, Jon flew and landed behind Melissa. She quickly back kicked but missed. Jon drew his sword as Melissa turned to face him.Clang!A high-pitched sound reverberated through the room when Melissa's lightning-like whip tangled with Jon's sword. "Wow, Jon you have become so much stronger!" Melissa was shocked at how the spar had progressed. Jon grinned, "You are not so bad yourself."He untangled his sword from her whip and tried to move closer to Melissa.Clang, clang, clang… Using her whip to swiftly block his advances, she kept him at a distance. Since he had to concentrate on smacking her whip away, he could not gain ground.He decided to change his tactic. "Astro fury!"
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 21: Ruthless Retaliation
"Do you know what is in this sachet?" Raphael questioned Jon with a cunning look on his face. Jon kept quiet as he was unsure about Raphael's intention."I bet you are staying silent because you have no idea," Raphael correctly concluded. He then mocked, "A pitiful peasant boy like you would never have a chance to see pills like these. You should thank me right now." Jon desperately attempted to recall all that he had read about pills. However, he indeed had not come across the pills that Raphael held in his hand."These are made using my family's secret recipe, a priceless heirloom passed down for generations," Raphael smirked. "You poor boy cannot even dare to dream about having such a thing, much less see one."Jon kept his chin up and firmly said, "I do not need such a thing.""You don't, do you?" Raphael chuckled. "Maybe that is why your father will always be sick and useless."Jon clenched his teeth and balled his hands into fists. Raphael provoked him further, "Your father p
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 22: Painful Punishment
"What is the matter?" Raphael asked gently with concern. He then frowned, "You are scared now? Do you regret messing with me?"Jon did not bother replying to his taunts, "Meteor Rain!"This time, he had better control over the assault and could aim the fireballs directly at Raphael.Raphael chuckled as green balls of fire appeared over him."Do you really think this pitiful attack would inflict damage on me?" Raphael mocked. "Tomb Tower!" A stone wall once again rose from the ground. Now, however, it surrounded Raphael and protected him from the fireballs that orbited around him. By the time the fireballs vanished and Raphael lowered the stone barrier, Jon's wounds had completely healed. Jon immediately launched another attack, "Asteroid Blaze!" "When will you stop these pitiful attacks?" Raphael looked disgusted as he emanated red energy from his body and dissipated the fireballs. As he walked closer to Jon, he shot shards of energy at his opponent."I will play with you for a wh
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 23: Limitless Learning
As Jon left the school, he could not help but feel indignant."Why does this have to happen to me?" he cried out loud. Suddenly, his vision blurred. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he ran home. "How should I break the news to my parents?" Jon was filled with apprehension about his future. "How will my family survive?" He veered from his usual path home to cool down by himself before he met his parents.Sitting by himself on a bench at a sidewalk, he played out scenarios that may occur and tried to think of ways to respond. "I can only train on my own now," he bravely presumed. When he saw looked at the sky and saw a beautiful sunset marred by smog, he plucked up his courage and made his way home.---Jon could not help but feel guilty when he saw his mother waiting for him to come home from school."I am home," Jon calmly said as his mother walked up to greet him. "How are you Jon?" his mother's eyes were filled with concern. "You look very tired and unhappy."Just then, his fa
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 24: Monstrous Mayhem
Jon immediately flew away as quickly as he could. He was an inch from the beast just before it closed its mouth. Knowing that he could no longer use his sword, Jon whipped out his dagger using his left hand. The fight must go on!When the beast landed on the ground, a cloud of dust floated in the air, hindering Jon's visions. Cough, cough, cough…The monster took the chance to launch a sneak attack: it snapped its mouth and trapped Jon inside.However, before long, its mouth emitted green light. Boom!Jon had released a burst of fire and scalded the beast's mouth. It instinctively gaped. By now, Jon's injury had fully recovered. He once again charged toward the beast and stabbed it using his dagger. Alas, the beast's hide was too thick so the dagger had no effect on it. "I can only rely on energy attacks now," Jon grimaced. "Meteor Rain!"The beast immediately used its tail to whip the fireballs. One by one, they vanished. Jon then decided to launch another attack using long
Immortal Mountain Master Chapter 25: Secret Skills
At Grandmaster Ye's mansion… Master Hui arrived at a large hall with tall ceilings and multiple crystal chandeliers. He confidently walked up a gold staircase with diamond rails. "General Hui, how is Jon doing?" Grandmaster Ye asked Jon's mentor. He sat on an elevated gold and black armchair adorned with alternating diamonds and jade while General Hui approached him. General Hui stood in front of Grandmaster Ye and bowed once with a fist on a palm in front of his face. "Jon is expelled from school," General Hui crisply reported. "I investigated the incident and found that Raphael's mother had threatened the school's principal, so he had been forced to expel Jon."Grandmaster Ye frowned as he stroked his long green beard. "I will train him every day from now on," General Hui added. "His abilities and skills are quickly improving.""Good," Grandmaster Ye nodded his head while he sipped green tea from a porcelain cup. "Quit your job at that school so that you can focus on training
