Multi-Gene

David was tired, and mentally drained, but his eyes both shone brightly amidst the night skies as he stood before his door.

Training the mental art technique placed a huge burden on the brain not allowing one to practise forever.

Moreover, he had already reached about a significant level in the technique which was why he finally stood up to stretch his body and relieve himself if the hunger he was feeling.

Although the servants were meant to deliver food to his door step, his position wasn't intimidating or high enough to have them wait or come back until he was done. He had to go get some food himself otherwise, he was going to starve to death.

Thinking up to this level, David walked for a few minutes before finally getting to a restaurant. Ordering quite a large amount of food, he immediately dug in line a ravenous wolf and in a matter of seconds, he was done with the first portion.

David unhesitatingly ordered another large portion of the food.

"Alright sir, please wait a minute, we will get it for you." The waiter replied and David nodded his head impatiently.

After a minute, the food was finally served. It was a large plate that had an entire lamb in it that was enough to feed fifteen men for three days and David continuously chop through it like it was made of cotton candy.

Ignoring the looks of shock the other students were giving him, he wondered maybe he should have just left the bones then they wouldn't have gazed at him that way, who knows.

After paying 20 contribution points, David felt thoroughly satisfied with his food and drinks and then stood up to walk out of the restaurant.

He had just walked out a few meters when he caught sight of a blonde male person walking a few metres away from him.

He wasn't alone though as there was quite a few lackeys walking around him as though to shield him from any troubles around and also sputtering him with flattery.

When David saw who the person was, his pupils constricted and a deep kind of anger flared deep inside him. This was the same person who had penetrated his defences with some unknown technique and had managed to discover his Silver Body, the true one.

"Vathar." David spat out in disgust And then proceeded to turn the other way. He would have his vengeance but not here in the academy as the academy doesn't entertain fights amongst students within the academy without scheduling it ahead of time.

He had only walked a few meters when a slight chuckle entered his ears. "You are an incredibly hard man to find David."

David's facial expression changed and a faint smile could be seen in his face but one could tell it wasn't a welcoming smile but one which seem to have an hidden meaning behind it.

"And why are you looking for me?" David have no room for chit-chat and immediately got straight to the point. There was already a deep grudge between them, and David wasn't about to forget about that anytime soon.

To him, Vathar was already a dead man walking, it was only a matter of time before he made that into reality.

Vathar's eyes turned cold but his smile remained cool and calm as though nothing would ever shake him. His demeanour was different from an ordinary person's which was enough to make even David very wary of him. "We are both students of the same institute and a stranger to this academy. Therefore we should always stick together."

"Which is why I created my own faction within this academy, so as to protect our selves better and resolve any issues that may arise at anytime. The others have joined which is the main reason for me looking for you."

David raised an eyebrow at this and as much as he didn't want to say it, he couldn't help but admit that it really wasn't a bad idea and in actuality, it was a genius idea.

There are basically four factions within the academy. The Azure Sword faction, The rainbow sky faction, The Sky splitting faction and the Fiendstars Faction.

They were the four most powerful faction within the academy which is of course owned and governed by the students under the permission of the academy.

Upon becoming a student, most people would thrive to become a member of one of the four factions who h is incredibly difficult to do.

To open another faction apart from the four main faction inside of the academy was incredibly difficult and although there have been other people who have thought of this, they wouldn't last long under the pressure of the four main faction which eventually lead to their collapse.

David was aware that one need an enormous amount of contribution points to open a faction and couldn't help but wonder how exactly Vathar had done it. But then again, he didn't care.

"You are inciting me to join your faction?" David tilted his head as he asked.

Vathar nodded his head expressionlessly as he replied. "We have to stick together in cases like this so as to not be bullied by other student."

"I refuse." David stated indifferently and then turned around to leave.

Vathar's expression turned eyes cold and his pupils started overlaying against each other as he gazed at David.

"Are you sure you want to refuse me?" his voice chilling to the ears and deep upon the heart.

David smirked. "I've never been so sure."

"Good." Vathar's originally cold expression faded and a small smile formed in his lips.

"If you change your mind, Come to room 503." With that, he turned around to leave. His lackeys followed him but they couldn't dare to look David in the eye.

They had wanted to say something about David's disrespect but the waves emitted by both David and Vathar was enough to pressure them into keeping quiet. In fact, one could see droplets of sweat in their faces as they left in a hurry.

David watched them go with a from in his face. Vathar had been able to control his emotions so quickly that it was frightening. David was beginning to become wary of this particular person. But those he had wanted to kill never has the chance of escaping. So naturally, he wasn't at all worried Vathar was different.

"Room 509?" Which meant that Vathar had entered into the top 500.

"Seems like he is very talented. I shouldn't slack off either." David muttered to himself and then proceeded to go back to his room. There were still three techniques which he was eager to practice. As for the encounter that had just happened, David palaces it at the back of his mind.

• * * *

David had managed to reach the second level of Fury Packed Thrust in three days which was more than he had calculated for. He gathered in mind that he would practice the four techniques to the first state in at most a week but from what he was experiencing, it wound take at most two week for him to learn the four techniques in a row.

If this was know to the other students, their jaws would definitely drop in shock and in awe. Blade Kinesis technique is incredibly difficult to master and requires time, practice and energy to maintain. There was time, but one's energy isn't limitless.

For normal students, it takes approximately two month to fully learn a low level techniques while geniuses takes at least a month to learn a technique to the first state. Naturally, David wasn't aware of this. Otherwise, he would definitely take himself to be a genius.

Revising the Revolving Flow Breathing Technique in his mind, David proceeded to start it immediately. Since it was a breathing technique, he needed the technique to improve his mental energy and enter into the Late Mortal state as soon as possible.

The one he was using was the Supersonsory Technique which was now too slow in increasing his mental energy he needed something that could increase his mental energy rapidly which was why he took the Revolving Flow Breathing Technique.

Revolving Flow Breathing Technique was also a peak middle rank Training art. It a mental art that increases one's mental energy by using the physical body as a medium.

It also simultaneously increases one's body strength slightly but in David's case, he would hardly feel the increase in strength as his body was already at its limit. Increasing his body strength any further is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Finally closing his eyes, David breathing pattern continuously changed. His chest would rise and fall at in unpredictable rate and then stop as though he had stopped breathing.

His skin would tremble imperceptibly, not at all really noticeable and this went in for fifteen seconds before David let out a mouthful of stale breathe and opened his eyes.

His eyes flashed for a second and returned back to their original shape.

"The effect is surprisingly good."
