Chapter 468 - First Rank (2/2)

”Oh, so that was why he suddenly got angry, haha,” Alex thought as he chuckled remembering Yang Ma's reaction when he said he would get the 3rd rank.

Alex said that because he was looking forward to having Du Yuhan teach him about sword intent and such.

However, to Yang Ma, it sounded completely different. Ever since the maze run when Alex took his talisman, Yang Ma had thought of Alex as someone he needed to put in his place.

He was just an Organ Tempering realm cultivator that managed to win the whole thing when he himself barely got any points there. Not to mention, Wan Li beating his so bad in the competition stung him a little too.

Two alchemists got the better of the grandson of a Saint realm expert. That had made Yang Ma unreasonably angry.

Now that Alex said that he was going to take the 3rd rank, that meant that when Luo Mei did return and easily took back her place, Yang Ma would then have to challenge Alex to take back his original spot.

And that felt like an open invitation of duel to him, which he didn't like.

Alex didn't care about Yang Ma enough to worry about him attacking him. For now, he was simply going to focus on himself getting stronger.

'Should I go to 3rd Mind Tempering realm today?' Alex wondered. 'Although, I do want to learn from Du Yuhan as well as I can.'

Alex contemplated for a bit and decided to wait on it. It had only been a week since he broke through to the 2nd realm and he definitely needed some more time to stabilize that cultivation base.

The bigger the realm he would go to, the longer they required to stabilize. He sighed and made his way to Wen Cheng's manor.

He stayed there for a few minutes before Wen Cheng returned.

”You're back, huh? Good. What do you plan on doing now? I don't really have anything left to teach you. Maybe a couple of fighting techniques but that's it,” Wen Cheng said.

”It's alright, master. I can take care of myself now,” Alex said. ”Oh right, did Sister not return yet?”

”No,” Wen Cheng said. ”I can't communicate that far away so I don't really have any information. But, she should be returning at anytime soon now. Didn't you say she had to stay there for 2 weeks?”

”Yes,” Alex said. ”If they were successful, it should be right about now. Although, she may choose to stay around for a little while with her father.”

”No, he will send her here for sure,” Wen Cheng said.

”Huh? But it should have been a while since she was back there. Why would he send her back immediately?” Alex asked. He didn't think Luo Keng was a heartless father at all.

”Because it's dangerous there,” Wen Cheng said with a serious face.
