Chapter 172: Heavenly Sword Sec
172 Heavenly Sword Sec
Alex finally arrived at the fourth courtyard. The Seventh Elder has waited for him along with Kens.h.i.+n and Himura Minami. The room has a big table with four chairs beside it. Of course, The Seventh Elder took one, While Himura Minami obviously trying to separate Kens.h.i.+n with Alex. Alex ignored all of that and greeted Elder Conn. "Seventh Elder"
"En! Please Sit" Elder Conn nodded while Alex takes a sit.
"I"m going to explain all the things you need to remember inside the sect. I a.s.sumed all of you have known about the Willow Continent Grand Tournament, right?"
Of course, all of them nodded their heads. Alex first heard about that term from Nakagawa Hiina"s mouth. The tournament between all of the forces within the Wilow Continent.
"Because of this Grand Tournament. Our sect has decided to hold two other tournaments inside the sect. The purpose of these two tournaments is for preparing the disciple for the "Wilow Continent Grand Tournament".? I will explain the details. There will be two tournaments, the first one is "Outer Disciple Compet.i.tion", and the other one is "Inner Disciple Compet.i.tion".
In the Grand Tournament, there will be two sections of them. First, for those who are in Martial Grandmaster, and the second one is for those who are in Martial Lord. To antic.i.p.ate that, we also will centralize the resources for Outer and Inner Disciples. That is the reason why we will hold the Outer Disciple Compet.i.tion and Inner Disciple Compet.i.tion. We will centralize the resources for the winning disciples."
"Seventh Elder. I"m sorry to interrupt you, It seems that the sect wants to win in this Grand Tournament. What is the merit for the sect and also for the disciple? I don"t see any reason for it." Alex asked.
"Umu, I will explain for the sect first since it is already known by many. There is a colossal Spirit Stone Mine. Of course, Since a cultivator alone needs a ma.s.sive amount of Spirit Stones, let alone a Sect. To provide the reward and so on, the sect needs a ma.s.sive Spirit Stones. And this Spirit Stone Mine is the solution. So every influence has decided to split it according to the position of their disciple in this Grand Tournament.
The Martial Lord Tournament will get sixty percent of the share. This sixty percent will be divided again according to the ranking. The first rank will get twenty-five percent. Second will get twenty percent while the third will get fifteen percent. Usually, the partic.i.p.ants are Core Disciple and Elders from the sect.
The Martial Grandmaster Tournament will get the rest forty percent. The same as before, The first rank will get fifteen percent. The second rank will get ten percent, and the last place will get five percent. The last five percent will be split into those who didn"t win. As for this one, the partic.i.p.ants are Inner Disciple.
Then I will explain the reward for the disciple. There will be two separate rewards. The first one is from the Grand Tournament reward itself, and you will also get a separate reward from the sect. Judging from the previous tournament, you won"t be disappointed."
Alex nodded. But this nod wasn"t because he understood the elder meaning. But because he received the mission from the system.
[Mission: Reach Martial Grandmaster Realm
Reward: Premium Gacha Tickets 5x & Optimizing The Mission System]
[Mission: Reach Martial Lord Realm
Reward: Premium Gacha Ticket 10x & Box Gacha]
[Mission: First Rank in Martial Lord Tournament
Reward: Premium Gacha Tickets 20x & Super Exp Card]
[Mission: First Rank in Martial Grandmaster Tournament
Reward: UR Spirit Card x1
Note: If Host partic.i.p.ates in the Martial Lord Tournament, you will automatically complete this mission.]
Alex was amazed by the sudden appearance of the four missions. It seems that the system is very generous at the moment. Not only the reward is abundant. There will also another Gacha when he reached the Martial Lord realm.
"What is this Optimizing all about?"
[The repeatable mission will always posted by the system. Unlike the previous one that will upgrade every time you advance a small realm. It will always be there, and the number you need to kill is fixed. The change is when you advance a star, the reward will be reduced. After all, if Host focused on killing the monster that far weaker than Host. They will be extinct before you know it.]
"It"s true. There is no point in killing monsters far weaker than me. Even the spirits will level up faster if I kill monsters far stronger than me. Then, what about the Box Gacha?"
[System can"t give an explanation about "Box Gacha". It is better Host experienced it yourself after you unlocked the system.]
"Then how about the UR Exp Card?"
[It will immediately give your Spirit ten levels. In other words, it will improve your Spirit a whole big realm.]
"All right, thank you, System." He is shocked by that card.
[Your Welcome Host]
Alex decided to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament, not because of the reward from the sect, but he decided to join was because of the reward from the system. Not very often, the system is this generous. He is fired up.
"Is there any question about the reward, Alexander?" Elder Conn asked.
"No. Thank you for your explanation Seventh Elder" Alex shakes his head.
"Good, I will continue then. We will hold the Outer Disciple Compet.i.tion in a year from now, so the new Outer Disciples have the possibility to join the ranking. And the Inner Disciple Compet.i.tion will be a year from that." Conn said while eyeing on Alex. He hopes that Alex can become a peak Grandmaster realm and dominated the Grandmaster Tournament. He never thought that Alex didn"t want to join the Grandmaster Tournament. Instead, the one he wants to join is the Martial Lord Tournament because the reward (from System) is very tempting.
"Then, how can we advance our cultivation to respond to the incoming tournaments?" Alex asked again.
"Of course. You don"t need to worry about that. There are four main things to advance your cultivation in our sect. And they are very famous." Conn said
Minami immediately gives the answer. "Battle Tower in the East, Cultivation Pavilion in the north, Martial Arts Pavilion in the west, and Exchange Pavilion in the south."
"Umu, I will explain each of them. First is Battle Tower, It is related to the ranking of the disciples. Of course, it is separated for Outer Ranking and Inner Ranking. It is the place to hone your battle skills. You can fight many monsters there, and the energy there is very abundant. I won"t explain the detail here. You can get the details when you reached there. One last thing, you need to get Sect Point to enter the battle power. It cost three hundred Sect Points, and you can only enter once every three months."
"Sect Point?" Alex and Kens.h.i.+n were confused by the new term. Alex suddenly recalled something as he took out his disciple token. He looks at the number on the back of the token. At first, he was confused as to what this number is. He asked Elder Conn while holding the Disciple Token with a big "0" on it. "Is this the point?"
"Yeah. That is your Sect Point. I will explain it later" Elder Conn nodded. "Next is the Martial Arts Pavilion. As the name implies, it is the house for Martial Arts, you can search many Martial Arts there, ranging from Yellow Tier Skill to Earth Grade Skill. It is also the same as the Battle Tower. You can only enter once every three months, and you need sect points to borrow the books from there. The cost of every book is ranging from ten sect points to one thousand sect points."
"The third is Cultivation Pavilion. Unlike the two beforehand. This pavilion didn"t need Sect Point if you want to enter. As long as you have Spirit Stones, you can enter. You can rent a room inside the pavilion, and each room is installed a Gathering Array. Of course, the more you pay, the better room you will get."
"The last one is Exchange Pavilion. Inside, you can get Pills or Weapons there. Of course, you can also sell your pills or weapons or even metals and medicinal ingredients there and exchange it with Sect Points. You can also receive a mission there. The reward is mostly Spirit Stones. You can choose whether to exchange the reward with Sect Points or take the Spirit Stones for yourself. Of course, you can only exchange the Spirit Stones from the reward, not from your own pocket. This prevented cheating from those who are rich and ensure fairness for the disciples.
That"s all. If you have any friction with other sect members, you can settle it in the arena, whether it is a normal arena or Life and Death Arena. I won"t explain any further since the name itself already explained it. Is there any question?"
Alex looks at Kens.h.i.+n, who shakes his head. Both of them said, "No. Thank you for your explanation Seventh Elder(Master)"
It seems that Kens.h.i.+n has been accepted as a disciple of Seventh Elder. Well, good for you. Now your "sister" will get you busy 24/7.
"All right. All of you are free to go."? Elder Conn said.
Alex immediately stood up and gave his thanks again before he went to his room. Now he knows all of this, he needs to adjust his plan. He didn"t want to have any trouble inside the sect. Especially if he meets the disciples that thinking with his l.u.s.t active. For that, he will take the mission and search for sect point.
He can exchange the sect points for Martial Arts. He didn"t need Pills or weapons since he can make the pills himself and get weapons from his system. Now for the Battle Tower.
This is his main concern. From the look of it, since he can fight so many monsters. It is very unlikely to meet a real monster inside the tower. Then, there is another possible reason besides that. The monsters inside the Battle Tower comes from the illusion. But the problem is...whether the monsters come from pure illusion or from their monster core. Judging from Elder Conn"s words, The battle tower has abundant Spiritual Energy. If it"s like that, it means the monsters come from the monster core. It must be supported by the Rank 5 Illusion Array. It was recorded in his Master"s book.
"System, Can I absorb the energy within the battle tower?"
[You can Host. But you can"t absorb too much since it might ruin your foundation. There is another function in the battle tower that might make you interested]
"Oh, What is it?" Alex is curious about it, what kind of thing will make him interested?
[If you kill the monsters inside the Battle Tower. You can get EXP for your Spirits. Because you are not the one who killed them in the first place. You will get the exp from them because they were made from their own monster core]
Alex shocked about that. He never thought that he could really get EXP from those monsters. If that happened, he could absorb energy in the battle tower while he also farms EXP for the spirits. Such a convenient tower.
"Then, I will need to get the Sect Points first. I will get them from missions. I will get them after I used my remaining Fire Spirit Pills."
The moment he entered the room. He summoned Anna. "Anna, I"m sure you already know my plan. I want you to stand by here and observe Leoz"s condition. After all, you can"t check his condition if you went back to your card. Don"t worry. I would summon you if I reached my destination."
"Understood"
Alex nodded and came inside his bedroom. He took a Fire Spirit Pill. He used another three days to refine the energy inside the pill. And finally, advance another star. His Cultivation speed is very swift if he was given a peaceful time. But, many "events" come to him and make his progress halt for a while. He is already half step to advance to 3-Star Martial Master, and by taking the Fire Spirit Pill, he advanced.
Alex took another Fire Spirit Pill. But, the moment it came inside his mouth, the energy suddenly got repelled by his Pure Fire. Alex was confused about why is that and the system immediately answered his doubt.
[You can"t absorb another Fire Spirit Pill, Host. Don"t misunderstand me, You can continuously eat Fire Spirit Pill, which a normal Cultivator can"t. But if you continue to absorb the Fire Spirit Pill continuously. Your foundation will be unstable. That"s why your Pure Fire immediately rejected the energy. From the look of it, you can only eat two Fire Spirit Pills each month, if you want your foundation solid]
"Haiz, I should expect something like this. There is no way something this good like Fire Spirit Pill can boost my cultivation continuously. Then what about Sherry? She is taking so many Fire Spirit Pills at once" Alex asked worriedly, he remembered Sherry took five Fire Spirit Pills at once back in the tournament.
[Sherry is a Spirit Beast, Host. She can even eat thirty of those. She only needs to sleep to refine pill efficacy. But of course, when she is sleeping, she will be in a vulnerable state.]
"I see. Although I"m jealous of her since she only needs to eat and sleep to get stronger. The sleeping process is a troublesome one." Alex is thinking about the pros and cons of that. After all, it is only her cultivation that gets stronger. Unlike Alex, who also learns many Martial Arts so he can fight someone with a higher cultivation stage. Sherry"s weapon is her flame, and Alex is her best encounter.
