Chapter 141: Finally (1/2)

Alex soon arrived at the sect crater. He looked at his badge once more and found his way to a fighting stage. He watched the fight on the stage go on and waited until it was over.

Once it was, he heard his number being called.

”Number 168 and 173,” the elder screamed through the crowd.

Alex walked up to the stage and saw another man come up. It was a young man with short hair and a thin body build. He looked like he had barely anybody mass on him.

'Is he okay?' Alex wondered. He had never seen anyone this thin in his life. 'How does a cultivator even end up being this thin?'

”It's him, right?” a girl whispered a small distance away from the stage. Alex could barely catch her voice thanks to his spiritual sense.

”Yeah, I heard he had won all of his matches and breaks through very fast. Apparently, in the little time he has been here, he has broken through quite a few times already. It's honestly unheard of how fast he is progressing.” Another girl spoke, answering the first girl.

'Are they talking about me?' Alex wondered. He was surprised that they found out about his breakthrough speed somehow. 'But they shouldn't know about my cultivation breakthroughs at all. I make sure to keep it hidden most of the time.' He was truly confused.

”Do you know his name?” a boy spoke somewhere else in the crowd.

”Hmm… I don't really remember. It's a very weird name. It A— something.” Another person in the crowd spoke.

Alex was truly surprised now. 'How do they know my name too? I have never used the world Alex at all.' He was starting to wonder if the NPCs could see his real name or were bugged.

”But why is he so good at cultivation, when he has a body like that?” another voice came.

'Huh?' Alex got confused.

”I heard he was at 7th Bone Tempering realm just a couple of days ago and now he is already at 8th Bone tempering realm. Honestly, that Adam guy might end up becoming a core disciple at this rate.”

Finally, it all clicked in Alex's head. ”Oh,” he said as he realized that they were talking about the thin person in front of him.

'Adam? He is a player, isn't he?' this was the first time Alex had ever met a player in the game, aside from the first day when that person had helped him.

'I wonder if that guy already left this place and moved on to some other location,' he couldn't help but be distracted.

”Ready,” the elder shouted.
