He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 194. A new use for shadow sense.

The morning glow cast it’s warmth on a magnificent villa boasting a traditional and ancient vibe.

Several servants could be seen going about different things.

Some were tending gardens, others were watering plants.

Some were also tidying up the surroundings.

In one of the several beautiful buildings of this villa, a young man with smooth black hair and pale white skin could be seen sprawled in an arm chair in a large bed room.

It had been a few days since the incident at the Alchemy association .

Kailen sighed " What a hustle"

He was tired of the notifications he was receiving everyday.

The influential clans in the capital were really going all out to harass him with messages.

Some even went to the point of threathening him in indirect ways with the messages they sent him,in case he were to refuse their offers to join their factions.

" But Jackson and the old man really are lunatics. Anyway thanks to their nonsense I learnt something intriguing about my shadow sense "

Kailen couldn’t help but remember what had ensued between Jackson and the Branch President of the Alchemy Association a few days ago.

A few days ago.

Kailen ignored the stunned crowd,then walked calmly towards the Branch President and Jackson Bloodfallen.

Before he even went ahead to respectfully greet the man, the president boisterously held him and shook his shoulders.

"Very good . Very good. An excellent talent joins the alchemy association. No need to be so polite with me,young man. Quickly , follow me"

Jackson and Kailen turned into streaks of light and followed the old man out of the hall towards the sky,under the stunned gazes of the onlookers , at how the usually cold and silent president, spoke boisterously and eagerly with this young man.

However it was understandable . Geniuses would always be treated differently wherever they went.

Traversing various buildings as their figures whizzed through the air,the old man led the two individuals towards an ancient looking residence , located far away from the exams building they had just left.

The place was extremely quiet ,full of gardens , well decorated places and exquisite buildings.

" Still a show off master " Jackson couldn’t help ,but mutter underneath his breath.

This old man still had the taste for living alone in extravagant buildings.

The old man snorted " What do you know. Kids these days would never appreciate the beauty of extravagance"

He spoke with such righteousness and confidence that Kailen couldn’t help but be surprised at his shamelessness.

" Met your meter err Tsk!" The time dilation artifact snorted in Kailen’s mind.

Kailen tuned her out,his eyes widening in realization at how Jackson had just addressed the old man.

Jackson had just called the old man master .

That meant ...

" Yeah, he’s my master . This senile old man here taught me everything I know in alchemy " Jackson said it out loud ,figuring Kailen’s train of thought from the expression on the young man’s face.

Just when the old man was thinking Jackson had finally learnt to respect his elders and give them the credit they deserved, Jackson whispered in Kailen’s ear " That’s all he’s good for anyway "

The old man couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.

" You know ,one day I will wake up and surely find you lying in the pool of your blood with your blood drenched -"

" On your hands?"

Jackson scoffed " Heard that a million times old man,you can’t do shit"

"What did you say you fucking brat?"

Kailen was hovering a couple of meters away from them, watching them banter.

" Damn, what the hell is with the people I meet? These guys remind me completely of Reynolds and Donalds. Are disciples and their masters always this senile with each other"

Just as he was watching them banter , something entirely unexpected happened.

Green wooden vines shot out of the old man’s figure ,completely surrounding his floating figure.

The green wooden vines wove themselves intricately around him,making him look like a figure made out of vines.

As for Jackson, a crimson armor erupted around him, encasing his body and pulsing redly,intricate dark runes pulsing through the armor.

Suddenly

The two vanished .

Then, they clashed.

Shockwaves spread towards multiple directions, a sheer testament of their power.

Runes flickered to life , blocking the effects of their attacks from destroying the environs.

" Lunatics,these two are lunatics. They are like two pirates engaged in a shitty brawl"

Kailen observed them from a distance , completely shocked at their level of sheer simplicity .

Green and crimson silhouette clashed for several hundred times in the span of a few seconds.

Laughters echoed, vulgarities being uttered by the duo towards one another with each clash.

" They are only using their physical strength . That old man is a rank 4 supreme stage ascendant lifeform. He’s not using his full strength . However Jackson is really a monster to be able to go toe to toe with him. The old man is most likely using rank rank 1 supreme stage ascendant level strength" Kailen observed the battle analytically.

His brain was operating with extreme speed analytically.

He activated his elemental mirroring , watching the pathways of universe energy flowing through them.

His gaze grew more focused as he observed them.

The two crashed relentlessly for several times.

Jackson was a monster. His speed of replenishing universe energy was extremely monstrous.

Perhaps this was how he was able to keep up with the rank 1 supreme stage Ascendant level strength being used by the rank 4 supreme stage Ascendant level old man.

Kailen activated his shadow sense, following the movements of their shadows.

He was analysing their battle styles, the movements.

It was as though he was sponging off them.

The young man was subconsciously mimicking the movements of their shadows in his head . He stood there watching them calmly, watching the movements of their shadows. He may not be able to match their movements , but observing the movements of their shadows ,was strangely possible. He attributed this to his shadow affinity.

More clashes ensued ,drawing the attention of several servants,staring at them in palpable shock and fear from a large distance.

Some were hiding behind bushes ,others behind doors and windows.

Many recognized their senile master who had gone silent for a long time after his disciple had left without any word.

But now, this situation seemed strangely familiar.

" It’s master Jackson " Someone recognized Jackson as he stopped mid air and wiped some sweat from his brow.

" No wonder the master has reverted back to his old ways. So master Jackson has returned "

" Sigh. It seems this place will be overly lively again"

" Who’s that young man staring at them?"

Ignoring the whispers of the servants ,Jackson sighed.

" Old Man you win " His whole body was aching. This old man was a monster.

Old Man Ha grinned,pleased" It’s good you know your place . But you should be proud you were able to last a while against me" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Jackson clicked his tongue annoyingly " Tsk. Bullying someone weaker than you?. Only a shameless old man like you would take pride in that. Right Kailen?"

The duo turned to look at Kailen, completely shocked at what they saw.

The young man was seated on the ground ,his eyes closed.

Suddenly he opened his eyes , a sharp glint flashing through them.

They stared at him with shock. They knew that look.

That young man had achieved some sort of enlightenment .

"Did you just achieve enlightment from watching our battle?"

Jackson couldn’t help but ask.

Kailen did not pretend. He replied.

" Yes, can I spar with you ,master?"
