Chapter 52：Testing His New Strength (1/2)

It didn't take long for Alex to reach Disciple Hall. He looked at the ranking board in front of the hall and realized, he had gone down in ranking.

'I was gone away for 3 days, and I am already down by 200 ranking spots?' he thought. He walked back to the Alchemy Achievements and realized he was down on that side too.

He laughed wryly and didn't think much of it. He had returned now, and with the number of stuff he had got back, he could easily get those rankings back and more.

He went into the disciple hall and let them know of his return. After that, he walked towards the sect market. It was around 4 pm and the sect valley was at the peak of crowdedness.

He walked into the sect market and went straight to the elder's stall. He had to wait a while before his time came up eventually.

The elder looked at him, and asked, ”Are you here to buy or sell?”

”Both,” Alex simply answered. He then reached into his robes and took out 2 storage bags. He checked the storage bags one more time and handed them to the elder.

The elder was surprised someone actually initiated to hand him a storage bag of their own. He then diverted his attention to the storage bag.

The elder's eyes started to widen. The more he looked, the wider it got. He snapped his head as he looked at Alex.

'Bone Tempering 3rd realm. So how are the corpses here so strong?' he wondered.

”Are you selling these in the place of someone else?” he asked.

”No, those are for me.” Alex simply answered.

”Young man, if these belong to someone else, and you stole this, you must confess. Lying will not get you anywhere.” The elder got more vocal about it.

Alex didn't know what else to say, so he simply insisted on it being his. ”Those belong to me, and me alone elder. I did not steal them from anybody.” He said.

The elder was starting to get irritated. ”Are you saying you killed this organ tempering realm bird monster?” he asked, mentioning one of the monsters inside the bag.

”No, I didn't. Someone else did. But they gave me the monster corpses, so it's mine.” He said.

The elder finally felt like he was getting the truth out of him. ”See, these don't belong to you. Tell the core disciple who killed these monsters to come to sell these monsters on their own. ”

The elder believed that only a core disciple could possibly be strong enough to kill all of these monsters. He handed the bag back to Alex.
