Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 209 Strength



The fist contained a pure strength of Alex's body. Although he didn't use his Spiritual Energy or his Immovable Step, it was still very powerful.

"400"

When Charya saw the number, she was dumbfounded. Back then, when she fought Alex, the number should not this. Alex's strength was far weaker. It should be around a hundred bull strength. And he didn't use his Spiritual Energy too.

Before Charya recovered from her shock, Alex tried it once again. But this time, he added his Spiritual Energy.

"500"

With his Spiritual Energy, he can add another one hundred bull strength or a thousand kilograms on the weight of his fist. He was unsatisfied with this. He tried it once again, but this time he added his 'Immovable Step'. The strength that came from Immovable Step gave him another boost equal to his current power.

"900"

He thought the number would be one thousand. But according to the stone, the strength came from the Immovable Step was came from his raw strength. If he added his Full Throttle, maybe he can reach one dragon strength.

Charya can not contain her shock, her jaw dropped as far as allowed. She just saw one of the most shocking things in her life. Alex rolled his eyes and said with a poker face, "Elder Charya, your jaw will be dislocated, you know."

Charya finally snapped, "Whose fault do you think it is!"

"Even if my jaw dislocated, I can fix it in no time, so no problem. Even the bone is broken, it only needs a few days to a month recuperation, so no problem If I have a pill, it can recover faster. The problem is you" Charya continued.

Alex was surprised, not because of the recovery rate, but because of her reply. Her response...how could he say this... she just played a straight guy, right? But even so, it was still a bit too much. Saying 'if the bone is broken, it only needs a few days to a month...'

'Never mind' Alex chose to ignore it. "I am the problem?"

"Yeah. Don't you know how absurd is your strength is?"

Alex shook his head, innocently. This was the first time he measured his strength. How can he know?

"Argh! This guy just shakes his head like nothing. I really want to punch this guy." Charya scratched her head in frustration.

Alex even became more confused. Finally, Charya looked at him and explained. "Listen, a normal 7-Star Martial Master has a strength around fifty to a hundred bulls. I heard the fifth Elder has a disciple, he is an 8-Star Martial Master, however, he is a Body Cultivator. So, even though he is an 8-Star Martial Master, his focus in his body, not his Spiritual Energy. Because there is no name to classify for body cultivators. They adopted the same classification as us who cultivate Spiritual Energy.

And his current strength is 321 bull strength. The fifth Elder has fed him all the pills he needs, including the Perfect Purity Tempered Muscle Pill. He used all of his connections to procure that. Now, you are not even a body cultivator, and your strength is even stronger than him. You are even stronger in your Sword Arts. Now, do you know how absurd your strength is?"

Alex was surprised. Now he knew why Charya had such an exaggerated reaction. No, in fact, her reaction is justified. It is completely normal. Alex tried to calculate how much his original strength before. He remembered he took two Tempered Muscle Pill. It should give him a hundred bull strength. Then, he refined his body with the Magma Flower. He felt the effect was twice stronger than two Tempered Muscle Pill, so the Magma Flower was two hundred bull strength. Then, there was the blazing pond. He didn't know how much it gave him, but it should be less than a Tempered Muscle Pill.

So, his strength should be around fifty to a hundred bulls strength. Now, he finally got an example of how talent can be acquired by a fateful encounter. If he didn't meet the blazing pool inside the cave, or if he was not an Alchemist that can make Tempered Muscle Pills, or even if he didn't meet Magma Flower. His raw strength would be the same as a normal cultivator.

But the most fateful encounter he had met was the meeting between him and the System back in Zircodina Kingdom.

[That's right, you should thank me, Host]

Alex's eyebrows twitched, Out of reflex, he said, "Stop invading my thought."

Charya continued, "I am afraid that you are going to kill someone if you carelessly use your strength."

"So, I should lower my strength in the tournament?"

"Nah, I don't say that. You can use your strength. Just make sure you don't kill them or cripple their cultivation. If it only broken bones, I still can openly protect you and say that the people who want to revenge them is shameless, including their master or teacher. After all, some injuries or broken bones are still within the bound in the tournament. Well, you will know the rules for the tournament later. But even if you accidentally killed them, I will still protect you, so don't mind it too much."

Alex was surprised. He knew that Charya would protect him, but saying their master or teacher 'shameless', after he broke their disciple's bones... it was really a spectacle in his imagination.

"Do you want to try again?"

Alex shook his head. Then Charya nodded and said. "Just don't forget about the tournament. Your strength alone is qualified to be the number one in outer disciple ranking. But there will be many strong opponents inside the sect. So, don't be careless and lose in the tournament."

Alex nodded. 'It is for the ticke...people who believed in him like Song Yu and Putri'

Alex then went back to his house. He was planning to get his rank just before the tournament. Possible, a week before the tournament. If he got in now, he would be challenged again without him knowing. It would be troublesome.

Then, for the time being, there were two options for him. First, cultivated again. The other option was to practice the other pills inside his Simulation Room. There were still Rank 3 Detoxification Pill and Hard Bone Pill. Ultimately, he chose the second option.

Alex used his time to master the two pills, because those two pills were a Mid 3rd Rank Pill, it took him longer than he expected. Alex used the Hard Bone Pill since the Detoxification Pill was no use for him. The Hard Bone pill didn't increase his strength but it increased the bone's hardness. His bone would not be broken easily. There were only four days before the tournament.

Alex then came to Sherry's room. And as usual, Sherry still lazily laid down while sucking the Spiritual Energy. She had become 10-Star Master Stage Spirit Beast. Alex called her, "Sherry. Let's go to the battle tower. Show me your power."

Upon hearing Alex's voice, Sherry stood up. She leaped toward him and disappeared. Alex then went to Anna. Anna, as usual, doing her job inside the house. When Alex came to her, Anna said, "Young Master. Leoz said that because of the Zhou Kingdom tightened their kingdom, he can not search the information carelessly. So, he needs more time. He also said the Zhou Kingdom was planning something big. But he was still unsure about what it is."

"Sure, take all the time he needs, it is better to be safe than sorry."

Anna nodded. "Then, are you going now?"

Alex nodded. Anna hesitated, "Can I also go with you."

Alex thought a bit, then he shook his head. "Sherry is with me."

Anna looked down, she was disappointed. Alex looked at her and shook his head helplessly. He came closer to her and gave a peck on her forehead. He then stroked her hair a bit. He had been with Anna for a year in this house. Anna was a peerless beauty. Although Alex didn't care about that, his heart slowly melted as they spent their time together, and Anna's presence slowly grew in his heart.

He gave her a kiss on her forehead. He felt she at least deserve this. Alex still can't cross the line, he didn't kiss her on the lips. But at least, this action of his, showed Anna that her effort hadn't gone waste.

Alex smiled at her, "Then, I'm going"

Anna was surprised by Alex's action. Even though it was only a kiss on the forehead, but for her, it was worth it. She gave him the most beautiful smile she can give, "Yes."

After leaving the house, Alex flew to the Battle Tower. As expected, the Battle Tower was still brimming with people. Alex landed nearby and walked to the Battle Tower. This time he didn't meet anyone he knew. Alex then went to the Elder, who was in charge of the registration.

"Elder, I would like to challenge the Battle Tower."

"Again? Haiz, you still need to wait for a few people. I will register you first."

Alex was surprised, the last time he didn't need to wait. "Is the battle tower that busy? The last time I was here, I still see some empty room."

"It is the fault of the Outer Disciple Ranking Tournament. Because the requirement in participating in the tournament is they need to get to the top one thousand ranking. A lot of people challenged this tower to test their luck. Why are you asking me this? Are not you like those people?"

Alex was surprised, now that he thought about it, it was indeed the case. He didn't come here to test his luck, though. Alex didn't mind to wait, so he waited on the side. The ranking was ever changing. He saw Himu... Ahem, Simon, he abandoned that name already. Simon's rank was 498th.

Alex also saw Lena's rank, surprisingly, she was 246th. But the most shocking he can see in this stone stele was Evelyn's ranking because he saw her name inside the top hundred ranking. Her rank was 99th. Alex was surprised to see her in that ranking. He recalled back then Evelyn was in 4-Star Martial Master after she broke through twice when she was practicing with him. She didn't achieve any breakthrough when she practiced the sword alone. But after coming to Alex's house to learn about Seven Stars Cut. The potential that she didn't use or maybe even she suppressed, burst out of her body. She broke through twice within that short time.

Alex taught her the Seven Stars Cut. It had been a few months, Alex was wondering how high her prowess now. Not long after, while he was waiting for his turn. There was suddenly a change of name in the stone stele ranking.

'24th - Evelyn de Viona Thiveapia'

Alex's mouth became an 'o' shape. He was really astonished. It seems, the practice that she had with him, released her full potential. The crowd turned to an uproar.

"What?"

"Look, her highness Evelyn has reached 24th position."

"Yeah, she should be only 15 years old, but she was this talented."

"I heard her saying her progress was thanks to someone, but she didn't say who it is."

"You are not up to date, I heard she said it was also another disciple like us."

"Who is he/she?"

"Yeah, I want to call him brother or sister. If I also get something like that, I can become the top one hundred disciples."

"Don't daydream. If she is a female. She would think you are a pervert."

"That's right. It must be a male, If I found him, I could seduce him."

"Shut up, you pig. Lost your weight first."

"What's wrong with it? There is another charm in this body of mine."

Alex facepalmed. Not long after, Evelyn came out. Alex saw her cultivation with his Spirit Eyes. To his surprise, she was a 7-Star Martial Master. Alex thought he had a very high pace, but it seems it was not the case. He saw the girl with the black hair slowly came out from the room.

Her shoulder length black hair had grown a bit longer. Now her hair had reached her back, and she tied it with a butterfly ribbon so it won't hinder her. Her innocent brown eyes were slowly giving an aura of maturity. Her petite body slowly grew some curves.

She didn't know Alex was in the crowd. She just flew away from the battle tower. The achievement reward in this place was not that great anyway.

Alex waited for his turn for a while longer. The Elder then called his name, and he went to him, then gave his token. He entered the room and called Sherry out. After that, he activated the array, and finally, they were back to the world inside the array.
