10 Alive (1/2)

Although Ipnak was smiling, inwardly he was very disappointed. When Koren told him his age and level, Ipnak was sure that he would be able to overcome Haruki. Now Ipnak thought that perhaps Koren was fast at cultivation, but due to his young age, didn't have many opportunities to spar.

”I put everything I had in my defense, how did he manage to breakthrough in one hit.” asked Koren of the Chief.

”That's because he didn't actually break your defense, rather he just created cracks in key regions of your pillar, causing it to break apart on its own.” replied Chief Ipnak.

”You have to remember, we are standing over solid ground, not a sandy dune. This training field was made by transferring earth from the deeper layers, you must learn to use the sturdy earth before you can move to the finer sand” continued the chief.

”Hey old man, you can't give away my secrets, that's cheating” Haruki quickly retorted as he heard the Chief and Koren's exchange.

Koren heard Chief Ipnak's explanation, and nodded. He had put all the concentrated spiritual power he had in that pillar, it should have been indestructible, but his opponent used technique and skill to break it apart and immobilize him in one go.

”I think I know how to defeat him, follow my direction Koren.” said Hope with excitement.

”Senior brother Haruki, I'm ready if you are” said Koren as he looked at Haruki who was yelling at the Chief.

”I like you kid, you are right to call me 'senior brother', now if you can teach the pipsqueak to do the same, I may go easy on you.” Said Haruki with approval while pointing towards Enri.

”You're going down, chubs” said Hope with a sly grin.

”hah” yelled Haruki as he stomped on the ground, creating a wave of cracks behind him, he then gestured both arms forward, as if he was lifting the ground up. The earth split apart and a boulder large enough to crush 10 Koren's lifted off the ground, floating over Haruki. Haruki made a punching gesture towards Koren and a small chunk of the boulder broke off and lunged towards Koren. Haruki kept throwing a barrage of punches, and rocks the size of a clay plate, kept getting hurled towards Koren in droves.

Koren was ready, he closed his eyes, and listened only to Hopes voice.

Chief Ipnak was confused by Koren's actions, and was ready to interfere if it got dangerous.

”Transfer 10 points to wind” said Hope as she guided Koren.

Koren: Level 3, Harmonization: None, Elemental Power: [Wind(10), Earth(14), Water(0), Fire(0)]

”Now feel the disturbance in the wind, and try to detect the rocks, like a sonar, and dodge” Said Hope and Koren followed suit.

Haruki was flabbergasted, he was sure the fight was over the moment Koren closed his eyes, but then he saw something unbelievable. Eyes closed, Koren was dodging each rock by mere inches apart. Haruki stomped again, causing another large boulder to rise up, and as he punched forward, the rocks this time were even larger.

”Slow down your wind usage, and transfer points to earth, keep transferring till wind is at 5 and earth is at 19. Feel the pulses in the earth, see your immediate surroundings without opening your eyes Koren.” Said Hope as Koren kept dodging.

The distance between each rock and Koren was getting smaller, it seemed he would be hit soon.

”Get closer to the rocks, try and touch them before moving away” said Hope and Koren followed.

The rocks were now starting to graze Koren, he started to get small bruises where the rocks would touch, but he didn't seem to mind.

”I can see the earth, its pulsating, like a heartbeat.” Said Koren as a colorless world appeared in front of him, with each pulse, this world would become clearer.

”Transfer all point to earth and open your eyes now!!” Yelled Hope.

”I can see you” Said Koren as he opened his eyes. A massive boulder was coming towards Koren. Haruki had sent it hurling towards Koren as he was starting to get annoyed by his dodging. However, this time, Koren didn't even try to dodge, he just held his palm straight like a knife and made a stabbing motion towards the boulder.

As soon as his palm made contact with the boulder, it shattered into smaller pieces and then into sand.

Koren then thrust both his palms towards Haruki's direction, made a grabbing motion, and then spread his arms apart.

”It's over chubs…hahaha hahaha” Said Hope as she started to laugh wildly.
