Chapter 422 - Attack & Weapon (1/2)

Alex walked into the only empty room and sat on the empty bed. He then called Pearl out, but immediately told him to not make any noise.

”Why?” Pearl asked.

”Send your spiritual sense out and you'll understand why,” Alex said. Pearl did as he was asked and quickly saw the people that were around him.

”Alright, let's start cultivating,” Alex said to Pearl. Pearl's skin started glowing a bit and soon there were cuts all over Alex's body too.

Alex closed his eyes and started breathing in and out calmly. Before he even knew it, he had fallen into a trance that led him to fall unconscious.

Early in the morning, he woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes. He quickly sent out his spiritual sense and saw that the man from yesterday was absent.

Alex had a general idea where he might have gone to, but he didn't care much about it. He stopped Pearl from cultivating any more and logged out.

He had some breakfast with the ladies and returned back to the game. He logged into the room at around 8 am and started planning for the day.

”What's my plan for today?” he thought.

”I… need to get registered as a Core disciple of the sect, then I will have to challenge someone at rank 50 to get their house, and then I should spend the day learning formations. I can then practice with master afterward,” Alex thought to himself.

So, he got out of the room and walked out of the house without letting anyone know. He walked towards the left side of the mountain, instead of going to the right and walking up the mountain.

The road going left also curved and went up the mountain too before finally reaching a road where every horizontal road ended up. The road would then follow the curve of the crater to reach directly into the crater.

Alex looked at the many disciples and elders that were already working on their day. Some were going to the library, while some were going to the production hall.

'The Fighting Hall should open up in about half an hour. Since today is a limitless challenges day, there should be a lot of people that plan to fight. I should be ready,' Alex thought.

Alex went to the disciple hall that was just a simple building. Although it was called a disciple hall, it was also the Elder hall of the sect. The elders mostly worked out of buildings so the sect had never bothered creating a hall for them.

Similarly, since this was the Elder Hall, there were no disciples working in this place, and all the tasks were handled by the disciples themselves.

Alex got into one of the many queues and waited for the people to move on. After a few minutes, he finally came face to face with the elder working there.

The elder was a man that looked to be in his 50s. Perhaps due to his old age, the elder decided to take on this desk job rather than being a referee for the fighting stages which was a way more active job.

”Badge!” the elder said without even caring about how he looked. He seemed to be too tired by the monotonous job while not wanting to do anything different.

Alex took out his badge with the number 2144 and handed it to the elder.

The elder took the badge and looked at the number written on it. He then looked at the disciple in front of him, and then back to the badge.

There was a level of cognitive dissonance happening in his mind right now by 3 different sets of information that were clashing with each other.

He was currently looking at a Meridian tempering 1st realm cultivator, who was normally what the sect called the core disciple, wearing a robe that belonged to an inner disciple, bringing a badge that belonged to an outer sect disciple.

After processing the information for more than 5 seconds, the elder came to a single conclusion.

”Is this a joke? Are you messing with me?” he started to get angry.

”Sorry?” Alex asked. He was confused by the sudden outburst of the elder too.

”Where is your core disciple robe? Where is your actual badge?” the elder asked. ”Don't you know that stealing someone else's badge is a crime punishable by expelling?”

Alex finally understood what the problem was. ”Ah, no elder. I did not steal any badges. This is my badge, and this is my robes. I was out of the sect for a little while without the sect's authority, so my rank declined while I was out.”

”At the same time, I also broke through to the Meridian Tempering realm. So I came here today to get my new robes. As for my badge, I will go fight someone in the 50th rank as soon as the Fighting hall opens up,” Alex said.

The elder thought for a while and found that what the disciple was saying was indeed possible and that he had gotten angry a bit too early.

”That is a sound excuse, however, I still do not know if what you are saying is true. Do you have any elders or other trustworthy disciples that can vouch for you?” the elder asked.

Alex chuckled a little and said, ”Yes, I do. I don't know if you have heard of it or not, elder, but I am the sect leader's new disciple.”
