"This..." She sweatdropped as she never expected Alex to experience it himself before she presented the matter in case he failed.
However, she didn't shout or whatever because she knew Alex was concentrating. She didn't want to break that focus but was still thinking. 'He is not in an enlightenment state, right? How can he be such a monster even in a normal form? What will happen if he is enlightened? It's going to be a disaster. '
Alex didn't know her thought, no, he just didn't have time to think about that as he was currently mixing his Sword Intent with the Divine Energy.
Luckily, Aria was smart enough to realize that he was a God Rank Expert who sealed his cultivation away or else she might be triggered at this moment. And it was fortunate that he didn't play dumb earlier.
To his surprise, there was a balance of these two this time. The Divine Energy was not overbearing and pushed away the Sword Intent while the latter was not powerful enough to extinguish the Spiritual Energy. Still, the fusing process took too long because Alex didn't know the efficient way to fuse them, especially with the current intensity of energy he had.
It would be much better if he actually did this with Spiritual Energy since it shouldn't take this long and changed everything when the Divine Tribulation baptized him.
There was no point in crying over spilled milk. He simply chose to not care about his cultivation speed of Sword Qi and Spear Qi at this point.
At the same time, he was curious whether the Sword God actually left an inheritance in this world or not since he might be planning to acquire it. Of course, he planned to give some of it to Aria and let her be in the spotlight.
Anyway, he shouldn't have this kind of thought for the time being and continued to fuse more and more energy to see which way could succeed. It was basically trials and errors this time.
Thirty hours passed, and the sky turned orange, but there was no sign of him moving and succeeding.
Aria unconsciously pumped her fist and thought, 'Two days more. '
On one hand, he wanted to see Alex's real capability. On the other hand, if his potential was bigger than the Peerless Sword God that achieved God King Rank in the past, she would be too shocked. That was why her heart was filled with complicated emotions at this point.
She waited for a few more hours before she suddenly opened her eyes. Even though she couldn't see anything, it was enough to express the shock that she experienced right now.
"This is... Sword Qi!" She opened her mouth in amazement while trembling."This is impossible... He doesn't even need a day to achieve this?"
She forgot to keep it in her thought and subconsciously shouted out loud.
"I can clearly hear you, you know."
"Ah?!" She instantly covered her mouth with her hands.
"Still, your reaction just now indicates that this is the one I am searching for." Alex smiled."But don't worry, it's not like I have broken the record or anything. Although I am faster, I have a certain help on the way, so don't mind it too much. As for what kind of help it was... I can't tell you right now."
"Help, huh." She thought for a moment and nodded before changing her attitude."Boss, I am wondering where I can start working in your influence..."
"Oi, oi." Alex gradually opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. Since he had understood the principle of turning the Divine Energy into Sword Qi, he could replicate it again, so it was fine to stop for a moment.
"Hehe. I can't help it. For whatever reason, I can only see you as a monster that surpasses the Peerless Sword God in this world, so I think it's fine working for you if I am chasing for benefits." She grinned.
Alex shrugged. f𝚛𝒆𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝒏o𝘃𝒆Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
"Ugh? You don't want a subordinate? Then, how about a disciple? Can I worship you as my master, or maybe you want my body as the exchange for teaching me?" said Aria with a playful tone.
"Enough of that." Alex sighed."There is a difference between working in this world and my influence. After you reach God Rank Expert and travel between worlds, you will gradually learn my name, and you will surely know the weight of what you said earlier. At that time, you need to think carefully and choose."
"Hehe, you are very mysterious, Nyx. I am even curious at this point, wondering what your real name is." She smirked.
Alex didn't say anything regarding that. Aria also understood that and stopped at that point.
"Anyway, I think you will be fine if I leave you, right?"
"I will be doing it for three days to see whether I can improve this condition. After that, come back here. I plan to teach you all the things you want to know about the sword. I want to make your ability good first, so it's even more believable when people see you in the spotlight."
"I am just a figurehead, huh. Not that I reject it though." She nodded."I understand. Since that is the case, I will return in three days."
"Yeah." Alex nodded.
"By the way, how should I call you?"
"You are the one guaranteeing my identity, so just call me with my name."
"I understand. You can call me Aria too. See you in three days, Nyx."
"Sure." Alex nodded.
After she went back, Alex started his training again. He hadn't absorbed any Sword Qi earlier, so he wanted to go all the way this time.
He began with the assimilation process before absorbing the Sword Qi inside his body.
To his surprise, his soul immediately reacted to this as it approached the Sword Qi. His soul was a kind of his clone, so he wondered what he would do in this situation.
Feeling the sharp Sword Qi, Alex's soul still waited since it would only move according to Alex's direction. On the other hand, the latter tried to feel the energy first to see what he could do.
Unfortunately, as he expected, his soul couldn't do anything. His current soul was that of a Martial Saint, and it was obliterated by the sharp Sword Qi. Because of that, he opened his seal and let out his Divine Soul to take over the current soul.
At this time, the Sword Qi finally got its match. It tried to destroy the soul but realized it had the power to resist it. After that, Alex tried to embrace the Sword Qi, but nothing happened.
The trials and errors began again before he tried to make his soul cultivate like the usual him.
The soul sat down on the ground in a lotus pose before absorbing the energy around it, which, in this case, was the Sword Qi.
And it turned out he was right. The soul was capable of cultivating.
"This is truly a long process..." Alex let out a long sigh."First, I need to turn the Spiritual Energy into Divine Energy first before assimilating it with my Sword Intent to turn it into Divine Sword Qi. After that, the soul can absorb it. The problem is everything gives my identity away as a God Rank Expert. If there is someone strong enough to learn about my soul, I can say goodbye to this mission. Well, I have gotten the way to cultivate the Sword Qi though, so I won't lose much.
"However, I might be able to get a better cultivation technique in this world, so I shouldn't leave yet. That's why I need to work hard to maximize the profit with the little time I have, and I think I should be fine as long as there is no invasion that alerts the entire planet to make all their God Rank Experts release their energy.
"And I think I have one mission in this world. If that Peerless Sword God left an inheritance, I am going to take it." Alex smirked."I will ask Aria if she knows anything about it."
Alex nodded and returned to his cultivation.
After a whole day trying a few tricks, he chose one method that allowed him to gather faster than any other method.
Not only that, but he also decided to change from cultivating his Sword Qi to Spear Qi. When everyone was around, he could only cultivate Sword Qi, so he needed to make sure that his Spear Qi wasn't left behind.
With this determination, he dedicated the rest of his time to Spear Qi.
Luckily, the method was not different from the Sword Qi, except it used the Spear Qi.
And three days has finally passed. Aria returned with a black and white training outfit that allowed her to move easily. She seemed to be pumped up to train with Alex. Not only she could learn a thing or two from a peerless genius, but she could also see the depth of his strength.
When she saw him again cultivating his Sword Qi smoothly, she didn't know what to do with him anymore.
After that, their training together began. Aria showed every move in her possessions, and Alex debunked it in a single glance. They even used a spar to see Aria's ability, albeit Alex deciphered everything and could even replicate the move if he wanted after a few tries.
When she saw Alex using her techniques, especially the high-speed movement she was proud of, she was speechless, classifying him as a freak. Not a normal person could replicate one's techniques just by seeing it a few times.
Although he didn't use any Sword Qi in the process, it was still surprising enough.
At the very least, Alex taught her a few things to improve in those high-speed movements and connect every single movement as if it was a dance.
In the end, she even called that set of movements Bletz Sword Dance. Bletz seemed to be their ancient language for Lightning, so it was perfect for her Sword Dance.
They stayed for three weeks inside the Cypress Family, and no one even came to bother Alex. And according to her, her father wanted to thank Alex for saving and teaching her daughter, albeit he could only hide that idea for the time being because Alex didn't want to meet him.
Unaware of his identity, he didn't dare to approach Alex easily, especially after the warning his daughter gave to him. Because of his interference, his son could actually return to the right path. And he even helped the entire family from the Grayfig Family.
When the day they needed to leave came, Aria came to him with a smile.
"Nyx, we have everything ready, including the bait. We are going to leave with them at the moment before separating at one point. Don't worry, these people are trustworthy, so it should be possible to fool them." Aria smiled with confidence.
Although she knew that Alex would be able to eliminate the Grayfig Family, she never mentioned it ever since because she didn't want to be reliant on Alex's strength.
Alex checked everything first before nodding his head.
"My father will surely find you this time, but don't worry, it will be fine. Besides, my brother has gone a week earlier because he is taking the normal route to enroll, but we have dispatched numerous small parties consisting of Martial Saints over a few days, so we are prepared to ambush them."
Alex nodded."I am not going to participate in that matter."
"I know you would say that." She smiled and stretched her hand."Let's go."
"Sure." Alex paused for a moment before asking."By the way, what are we going to do with the enrollment? I mean, I haven't gone through the details since we can do it on the way."
"It's nothing complicated. With the recommendation letter, we will be prioritized. I will explain the details on the way." She nodded.
"Alright then."
Alex and Aria then went toward the main entrance.
