Chapter 470 - Going For 3 (2/2)

”Huh? You're going to drop out?” Emily asked with a concerned face.

”Yeah, I'm not really getting out of the university. Still, on the off chance that I need to go back, I will at least finish the first semester,” Alex said.

”Sigh, I guess I can understand what you mean, but it's still sad that you won't continue it. I guess I will have to start considering the idea of going back to university classes alone,” she said.

”It's not all that bad. I will try to make some time for us,” Alex said. However, he didn't let go of the idea of dropping out of his classes.

His exams would start in just 2 weeks, and after that, he would drop out of college to focus on earning more money.

The two of them started talking about other things as they went to their classes. After their classes were over, they returned back to their home.

He was quite happy to learn that his classes for the semester were ending after this week. 'I will have a lot of free time for the game,' he thought. The game was all he could really think about at the moment.

After he went back to the game, Alex felt a vibration in his storage bag and realized that he had been challenged.

'Are they really that desperate that they think I will go high so fast?' he thought. He wondered if he wanted to go up or not, but in the end, thought...

”Maybe I should just go for the 3rd rank right now' he thought. If he got the 3rd rank he could immediately start with his Sword Intent training. That way, maybe he could reach the realm of what a proper Sword Intent was like.

Alex walked out of his house and went along the side of the sect crater to go towards the fighting stages.

He checked his badge and went to stage number 15 where his first match was. His number was soon called out, and he went up.

His opponent was a young man that seemed terrified of him. He was most likely simply fighting him because he was told to.

Alex shook his head and quickly beat this man before moving on to the next one. He was still keeping his cultivation base hidden, so people didn't really realize how high his cultivation base was improved.

They kept on coming for him regardless and regardless of who they were Alex beat them.

His final opponent was a man in rank 163 who was using water abilities against him. Since the water wasn't as deadly of an element in the hands of someone so weak compared to him, Alex didn't need to worry about it at all.

He dashed forward, going in a zig-zag pattern dodging all of the attacks. Once he was next to the man, he lightly pushed him with an open palm. The opponent flew through the air and fell out of the stage.

Alex was finally done with all 10 of his challenges.. Next up was his own challenge.
