The Inheritor 54 Quest Part 3

Lardo just nodded and slowly murmured, 'Frightened Buddha'

Then his chubby fats stretched and Lardo slowly grew taller before everyone eyes in a few minutes. The only problem was his skin color, his originally pure white skin turned bluish with few sky blue patterns (like an avatar (I've)).

Then he dashed to a random direction like a rabbit escaping from some ominous beast. But he beautifully dodged all the obstacles effortlessly be it rock or slippery mosses or holes nothing could reduce his pace.

Though 'Emotional Buddha Art; is very strong it didn't come without a price; till now Lardo is still in Mastery Stage 2 Small Accomplishment just like Quinn. So all Lardo could do was run like a frightened rabbit.

Kallis shook his head and seeing Lardo's transformation, "How could he suddenly get so frightened?"

"Hey, guys let's have a race for the longest distance," Boris shouted as he started to run.

Boris was inherently very compet.i.tive and even more dumb so he dashed even without considering other's opinion; he was running down the cave like a bulldozer, literally ruining the cave he was smashing and crushing the rocks on his path.

Kallis was speechless seeing this brute; he was literally turning the cave upside down. He silently prayed for the cave's well-being, it's not like he could escape if this cave came down.

Then Kallis ran to another direction leaving Quinn, he too was excited exploring the cave but he just ran like a normal guy while slowing down at hurdles and cautiously observing his surroundings.

Quinn shrugged his shoulders seeing his eccentric roommates; he also picked his pace to explore the cave.

"Well this is amusing, these kids didn't waste any time with cave entrance; hoho, not bad they are planning to explore the cave before hunting. Looks like the next few days is going to be entertaining."

An old voice came from the cave entrance; it was the blind old man who was peeking upon the kids. The old man was actually observing the kids through his Divine sense.

If any other cultivators learn this, they would be rooted to the ground. It's impossible to send Divine sense into a Qi-forbidden area without bringing down that place.

Strangely the Blind Protector was only interested in their tactics and not their awesome Body refining art; all their Body refining art was top notch, one of best in an ocean of Body refining arts.

So any cultivator would be gaping in awe if they found the Body Refining Arts of Quinn and roommates, unlike this old guy who's interested in their childish tactics.

An accident crippled this old guy leaving him with nothing but experience under his sleeve; several decades pa.s.sed since he retired to Natal Dawn School.

Though he's crippled, a person of his caliber has witnessed numerous heaven-defying arts and geniuses mislead to Qi-deviation; so these kids' arts weren't something extraordinary from his perspective.

******

Quinn and his friends were completely oblivious about the fact that all their actions were being secretly monitored by a blind old man.

Quinn was helpless facing his over-enthusiastic friends; all he could do was set an alarm for an hour in their School ring, to prevent them from being carried away in their new plight of adventure and losing track of time.

Quinn took a deep breath to steady himself and bring him to his optimum condition before speeding towards a random direction. Quinn ran like a normal guy without any fancy tricks like Boris or Lardo.

Though his Primal Evolution Art didn't give any sort special ability till Mastery stage 2 – Small Accomplishment, it repeatedly forged and further re-forged his body and strengthening to an unbelievable extent.

His muscles and raw body strength was only inferior to those kids like Boris whose Body Refining Art specifically focus on body strengthening.

An incredibly strong body coupled with the super soldier skills can make wonders that could even make those old ghosts one foot from their grave jump in excitement.

It's the exact scene that played out in Dark Star Crab Caves, the blind old man was literally peeling his eyes seeing Quinn graceful maneuvers through the rocks, pits and b.u.mpy tracks.

Quinn has trained in every possible terrain one could ever fathom about from sandy deserts to icy snow mountains to the thick rainforest. Such rutted rocks were too easy for someone who has gone through Earth's harshest training, though he's an ant in front of the powerful cultivators it doesn't mean all his painful days of training were a complete waste. Quinn is always a few steps ahead of his peers in anything and everything.

Quinn effortlessly sped through the rocks; unconsciously exerting the bare minimum energy needed to complete the task, Quinn had absolute control over his body and controlling his body to minimize the energy in every single action was something ingrained to his soul by Ben.

Though the old guy was stunned he soon recovered, he has been through a lot and seen to wonders and feats greater than Quinn's movements. But then again Quinn's movement didn't make the strongest out there, it added a mysterious and unique flavor to him.

Not even those Sons of heavens could copy Quinn's b.l.o.o.d.y training. Therefore, he carefully observed Quinn and his cla.s.smate's little adventure.

While Quinn was spiriting thru the cave Elgar was carefully observing the surrounding for clues for the Crab nest holes; whenever he came across some signs he would mark that position in his template map.

Elgar was actually preparing a make-shift map of the cave; though it wasn't accurate or precise, the map could give them a hand and with his friends' videos Elgar would probably improve it further; this will surely increase their chances of finding the Crab nest holes.

Exactly after an hour, four ear-piercing alarms rung in the silent cave, Quinn set this as a reminder for his friend to return. These were one of the few privileges of the leader of the Quest team.

All his friends including Quinn immediately turned around and made their way to the lake; while they didn't carefully observe their path was recorded by the school ring.

All his friends were thanking Quinn for asking them to record the entire journey. Thus, all of them reached them the lake without any mishaps. Quinn and his friends were busy running across the cave up and down while the old protector was silently observing the entire play.

Quinn was the first to reach the lake; he was actually extremely worried about their safety. Soon after Quinn Lardo returned, he came like a frightened deer rushing to its safe adobe; only after seeing Quinn waiting for him did he returned to his chubby kid from his blue avatar.
