Chapter 40 - 40

William's friends were stunned by Alvin's attack. A few days back they were joking about how William would defeat Alvin in 5 minutes. 

After all, they thought that Alvin was just an elementless 1st grade student. There was nothing for them to worry about.

Now, after watching Alvin's attack, they knew that they were wrong. It seemed like Alvin upgraded his cloud element. On top of that, Alvin possessed great cloud energy control. 

Just now, Alvin even succeeded in the wind blade compression on the spot.

Of course, they knew that there some luck involved in the fight. For example, Alvin had wind element spell that was known to be sharp and high damage as compare to William's water element. 

Yet, it still took a lot of cloud control to achieve the powerful attack.

They had seen how Alvin improved his wind blade in the fight. It was unbelievable.

While William was getting hit by the wind blade double, Alvin cast two more normal wind blade to William.

*whoosh

Two whoosh filled the air. This time,there was no hydro pillar to block the wind blades.

William didn't have time to respond. Then, he got hit by the two more wind blade. When the last wind blade hit William, he got pushed out from the stage, landing on the floor.

Under the stage, William was lying on the floor with his face facing the floor. He didn't have the energy to stand up. He couldn't believe that he lost.

On the stage, Alvin stood up straight, looking at William. 

Following the defeat of William, there was a lot of acclamation and discussion in the fighting hall. 

Most of the students were thinking that Alvin would be the top students in near future.

Hearing the murmurs, some of the 5th grade and 6th grade looked at Alvin and mumbled "his cloud control and speed is great. It will be a tough fight if he is on the same level as us.

On the stage, Alvin remained indifferent as he looked at William. Beside William, Emily was lifting William up from the floor. Emily frowned and stared at Alvin as if blaming him for hurting William.

"Winner, 1st grade student, Alvin" Mr Christopher announced.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Alvin nodded his head at Mr Christopher and walked down the stage.

With that, Alvin passed his exam. After this exam, everyone in the academy knew about Alvin.

Alvin walked out from the fighting hall together with Charles. They were heading to canteen for food.

Suddenly, they heard someone called out at Alvin. They turned their head and saw Emily.

"Alvin. Why did you hurt William so badly? This is just an exam" Emily shouted, glaring at Alvin.

Some students passing by looked at Alvin with a frown.

Sensing that Alvin frowned. He had to guard his reputation.

"Badly? Why don't you say the same thing to William when he used his hydro pillar ultra speed on me?" Alvin said with a loud voice.

"William will control his spell, he won't hurt you badly."

"Oh, really? Look at this" Alvin pointed at the bandage on Charles's arm.

Looking at Charles's bandage, Emily stopped.

Alvin chuckled.

"If you're on the other side, stay on the other side. Don't act like you're a third party trying to deliver justice. If I were the one who hurt badly today, you wouldn't say a thing for me." Alvin's face turned solemn.

Then, Alvin and Charles headed to the canteen for food.

....

Two year later. Arcanum primary cloud academy.

Alvin was doing his cloud cultivation in his room. He was surrounded by white clour cloud energy that slowly flowed into his cloud.

With the cloud energy flowing steadily, Alvin's cloud was shining in red colour due to his Phoenix Rebirth Cultivation. The cloud was getting brighter in red colour as if it was a small candle. 

On the other hand, Charles was closing his eyes, doing his cloud cultivation. His cloud was glowing in purple light.

Suddenly, the cloud energy stopped flowing to Alvin.

Alvin slowly opened his eyes and looked at his clouds. There was a big smile on his face.

"Finally, level 20." Alvin mumbled to himself. His cloud was getting bigger than one year ago. Sensing the cloud, Alvin knew that he reached the maximum limit of cloud level 20. It was time for him to get a cloud spell.

Alvin grinned. He felt happy and excited that he reached the level 20 at the age of 8. Most of his peers were around cloud level 15. Even William only reached level 19 at the age of 8. Indeed, Alvin was quick in his cloud cultivation,

Of course, Alvin knew that he wasn't the best in the world. He heard from teacher Elias that there were some geniuses in the world who could reach level 40 at the age of 12. Some are even born to be level 20.

Not to mention the number 1 in the world, Legendary Ethan.

"Level 20?" Charles opened his eyes and asked. He was interrupted by the weird cloud energy flow in the room. 

"Yeah, time to get a cloud spell" Alvin nodded.

"Let's go, We go together. I can help you in the spire." Charles suggested. Although Charles was level 19 and had no reason to go to the spire, he suggested they go together. He knew how dangerous it was for Alvin to fight a cloud monster alone in the spire.

Normally, cloud holders would help each other to hunt cloud monsters for safety purposes. This was also to ensure that they could kill a high level cloud monster and get a high rank cloud spell.

"Ok. Thanks" Alvin said.

Alvin got up from bed and walked to the door.

"I'm going to tell teacher Elias this good news. See you." Alvin waved his hand and said.

Just as Alvin exited the door, he stopped. Then he turned around and grabbed his robe on the chair before leaving the room.

"See you."
