Chapter 50: Supernatural Skill: Fist Impact!
Matthew Atkinson
Oxford
-Ring-ring
Someone was calling him.
Matthew, who was walking out of the school, took out his smartphone and saw that the caller ID was his mother, Serena Atkinson.
Matthew suddenly laughed.
He and Natalie had already caused a sensation across the country last night, and it was considered that his mother had remained very calm by calling him only now.
After answering the call, Matthew smiled and said, "Mum, did you see the news?"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer; instead, she asked, "Son, are you in class now?"
"Just finished class. I don't have any more classes this morning. What's wrong?"
"Are you free now?"
"Yes, I am."
"Come to the campus gate! Your dad and I will be waiting for you at the campus gate."
Matthew was a little surprised to hear this.
Mum and Dad came to college?
Without overthinking, he immediately walked off campus.
Soon, he saw his parents at the campus gate.
"Dad! Mum!" Matthew shouted and walked over quickly.
"Son!"
Seeing Matthew, Serena Atkinson was very excited and looked her son up and down, worried that he might be missing some limbs.
Father William Atkinson also looked emotional.
…
A moment later.
In a cafe near the school.
A family of three sat in a private room and chatted.
"Dad! Mom! Why did you come to college suddenly?" Matthew asked.
His parents' emotions have calmed significantly now.
Hearing Matthew's words, his father William immediately asked, "Why? Are you afraid that we'll come and catch you doing something shameful?"
"Dad, what are you talking about... what shameful things could I have done?"
"Humph! You know very well whether you have done something shameful or not."
Hearing this, Matthew's heart skipped a beat, wondering if the secret of his Kryptonian Bloodline had been exposed.
Then, he heard his father say, "Your college called me, saying that you moved out right after you started college. Did you rent a house somewhere else?"
So that's what it is.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes."
In fact, it was understandable that his college would call his parents to let them know he was moving out of his dorm.
Generally speaking, when a student moves out, the college would inform their parents.
This was to prevent parents from coming to school to make a fuss if something happened to students outside of college.
"I heard your dorm is nice," William Atkinson said, "Why don't you live in a nice dorm?"
His father clearly cared about him, but when they met, he was cold and always scolding him.
Perhaps, this was his father's way of expressing his concern!
But Matthew now had a headache.
He didn't mention yet that he actually bought the apartment he lives in.
After hesitating for a moment, Matthew could only say, "Maybe it's because of my ability, my classmates always look at me strangely, so I don't want to live on campus."
This was a serious statement!
William Atkinson was speechless for a moment. He looked at his son and fell silent for a while.
His mother was even more distressed and immediately scolded her husband: "It's our first visit to our son after he started his college, would it kill you to be a little kinder?"
Then he said to Matthew, "Don't mind your father. He just misses you but can't say it out loud."
William looked embarrassed but did not refute.
Serena continued, "Son, our family already knows about your achievements in the supernatural realm yesterday. Your grandfather is pleased. He encourages you to keep up the good work and has even prepared a gift for you."
Having said that, Serena Atkinson suddenly took out a box from her bag.
"A gift from grandpa?"
Matthew was surprised and opened the box immediately.
What was contained in the box seemed to be a parchment scroll, exuding an ancient aura.
The seal on top has not been removed yet.
"What's this?" Matthew asked curiously.
"This is the old man's most precious treasure!" William Atkinson said beside him, "He was originally planning on giving it to your oldest cousin, but after seeing your achievements on TV, he changed his mind."
Hearing this, Matthew became even more curious.
He quickly grabbed the parchment and prepared to open it to take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched the parchment, a notification popped up in his left eye:
[Supernatural item detected.]
[Skill: Fist Impact!]
[Fist Impact: After learning, use your fist to attack the enemy, which will bring up a gust of wind, forming a long-range, large-scale attack.]
[Note: The destructive power of the fist impact is proportional to the strength attribute and is weaker than the direct physical attack of the fist. The farther the distance, the weaker the power.]
[Tip: Fist Impact can be combined with Armament Haki to upgrade to "Galaxy Impact", which has incredible destructive power!]
When he saw the notification in his left eye, Matthew was stunned.
This parchment scroll was actually a supernatural skill.
Moreover, this skill, combined with Armament Haki, can be upgraded to become "Galaxy Impact"?
Wasn't Galaxy Impact the ultimate move of Monkey D. Garp in the One Piece anime?
Garp used this skill once. And a single punch from him destroyed an entire island!
Such a supernatural skill had great potential!
In addition, this skill was well-suited to Matthew.
He was currently lacking a large-scale attack skill, and this skill came just in time.
"Your grandpa said that you can't always rely on a girl."
While Matthew was stunned, his father's voice rang out from beside him. "You must strive to be good and don't let down the old man's kindness. The reason the old man retired early was that he was injured while competing with foreign supernatural people for this skill."
Matthew came back to his senses with a complicated expression.
According to his memories, the old man has always favored his eldest grandson and been very strict with the others.
Unexpectedly, this time, such a precious, supernatural skill was given to him.
"I saw on the internet that you got a total of 350 attribute points in the supernatural realm this time. Is that right?" William asked.
Matthew Atkinson nodded: "Yes."
William said, "The old man told me to tell you not to waste your attribute points. Try to increase your strength as much as possible. Combined with this move, it will at least give you a way to kill enemies in the supernatural realm."
Matthew's father was not a supernatural being, so he didn't quite understand these things.
Matthew was silent for a moment and chose to accept this kindness.
The old man is already old and no longer fit to fight. This skill was really useless in his hands.
When he grew stronger, he would find a way to repay the old man.
"Dad, how do I learn this parchment scroll skill?"
"The old man said all you have to do is untie the seal and open the scroll."
Upon hearing this, Matthew untied the sealing rope and opened the parchment scroll.
There were many strange golden words recorded on the parchment.
The moment Matthew opened it, all the golden words turned to light and entered Matthew's body.
Suddenly, Matthew felt a mysterious power growing within him.
Did he learned the skill just now? Was it really that simple?
Matthew was amazed.
He became increasingly interested in supernatural items.
"Dad! Thank the grandpa for me."
Matthew said seriously, "Please tell the old man that I won't let him down. In three years at the latest, I will become a powerful figure in the world and protect the Atkinson family's wealth and prosperity!"
The duration was set at three years because all supernatural universities offered three-year programs.
In addition, with three years of secret development, he believed that his strength would be terrifying by then.
Then he wouldn't have to hide the secret of his Kryptonian Bloodline anymore!
This was because the extraordinary opportunities in the holy land were actually unique.
Once a supernatural person reached a certain level of strength and developed their ability to a certain point, the same ability would no longer appear in subsequent Holy Land!
This was the conclusion reached by mankind after more than a hundred years of in-depth research.
What if that old Korean guy was still alive three years later?
At that time, Matthew would have no choice but to go there himself and send the old man on his way early.
Anyway, the old guy was over eighty years old and was said to be from a conglomerate. He played with many beautiful girls when he was young. He has enjoyed everything he should have enjoyed in his life, so it should be about time for his next journey!
