486 Timeskip (1/2)
After hearing about the report, Alex was surprised by the function of his green box. He did not know what the Strength Plateau was, but it should be something amazing.
He could not wait until he came back and luckily, he did not have anything to do at the moment. So, he continued his gruesome training to increase his power for another three months, increasing his power from 6-Star to 8-Star Martial King.
(AN: Are there a lot of timeskip recently?)
This speed was normal for him, considering he usually needed a month to increase his cultivation by a star when he was a Martial Lord or below. And unlike the Wilow Continent, he was at peace here, not having many things to do… he did not need to train his disciple and Evelyn, go to war with kingdoms and sects, and many conspiracies.
All he needed to worry about was to get stronger and clear the trials as well as Shelka. However, Nano was observing Shelka continuously, so he could just sit back and cultivate.
He did not have any senior sisters/brothers or friends in this place, except the Phoenix Queen, who already became his Contracted Beast. As for Ellen, there was not that much interaction between him and her. Besides, Stina would surely solve her problem instead of him.
He also did not need to deal with any conspiracies that targeted his friends or families… or at least that's what he thought.
In the first month, the Naga Race's representatives gave him a little box, saying he needed to open the box before he could challenge the trial.
From him and the system observation, it seemed there was a trick on the box which involved the soul. Just as the system said, it appeared someone put their soul in this box, making it impossible to open unless he erased that soul. The only way to erase that soul was to impart his soul inside and beat that remnant soul.
In any case, he would need to be a Martial Emperor first before he could challenge the trial. Considering he needed to defeat a 10-Star Martial King golden dragon with 400 dragon strength or equal to a normal 4-Star Martial Emperor, he certainly did not mind breaking through to the Martial Emperor in this world.
According to the information, the strongest influence in the Northern Continent, the first rare influence, only had peak Martial Emperor as their backing. With his UR EXP card and turned his spirit to Martial Monarch, he did not need to be afraid of them even if someone knew about the green box in his possession.
He was wondering what he should do with the other green box. He certainly did not want it to go to waste. He was planning to give it back to Song Yu in case he did not have a use for them. He had thought of giving it to Evelyn or Rose, letting them increase their strength exponentially. Sadly, they were too weak to take the chance since they needed to be a Martial Emperor not above or below.
The only one who had the chance for this was Song Yu, Song Jia, and Alex. Even Putri was not qualified.
He also had opened his Premium Gacha Tickets, albeit he did not get anything good from it except the Summoning Tickets. He used the Summoning Tickets and got Anna's and Leoz's card as well as two spies, Natalie and Nicky. Natalie was a female wolf while Nicky was a flying squirrel.
After leveling them up to Martial King, he sent them to Dragon Continent to check what they were up to.
In the second month, there was no event going on, so Alex cultivated peacefully.
However, it was changed when the human suddenly came to the Phoenix Continent, demanding Alex to go to the Human Capital with a certain decree. Alex paid no heed to that since he was not a part Human in this world. Of course, with Stina's protection, they could not do anything.
There was a time where the humans sent their princes and princesses to meet the Phoenix Queen. Of course, seeing their number, their target was certainly Alex. They thought Alex might fancy one of them and somehow made them his concubine, sister, brother, or whatever as long as they made a relationship with this unknown person. They even sent Lilian, who seemed to be the closest to him, telling her she would become a royalty if she succeeded. Lilian rejected the idea, but could only receive the order because she was too weak.
Sadly, their wish was not fulfilled because Alex locked himself inside his courtyard, not letting anyone get near him. Of course, as his contracted beast, Stina was very supportive of this.
However, the news of her breaking the world limit shook the entire world, making them want to know the method to achieve that.
After speculating through everything happening in these past few months, they realized it was because of Alex's appearance, she managed to break the limit.
The Elven Race even sent his envoy to mend the relationship between him and Shelka. They even told him it was only a misunderstanding, albeit Nano was still reporting all the perverted things she did in her free time.
At the very least, Alex was a bit relieved that she was just a pervert, not a yandere. If she was a yandere, he might need to kill her before she could do something bad to him. After all, her brain was similar to Anya. If Anya was a yandere that would do anything, he could not imagine what would happen. That was why knowing her was a pervert made him feel relieved.
In the past three months, Alex also did not forget to ask Stina to search for a few materials, mostly Alchemy Ingredients. He never needed to use his Rank 5 Pills since it was out of the norm here. Besides, there was not much action in this world.
Because of that, he only wanted to make Strength Spirit Pill and Diamond Soul Pill. Like their name, Strength Spirit Pill was to increase his strength. Unlike his Giant Strength Pill that only gave him 10 dragon strength, this Strength Spirit Pill could give him 100 dragon strength.
