Chapter 307: Inner Disciple Tournament 12-Wine
307 Inner Disciple Tournament 12-Wine
Charya and the others immediately left the old man and went to Song Yu"s house. They were going to have some drinking party with Charya"s wine.
The old man was dumbfounded when he saw that. Later he found out that Putri, who had regained her motivation and a good Junior Brother, could come back as a powerhouse. On the other hand, their main successor, Intan, had been crippled by Alex. She could no longer wield a spear for the rest of her life while Putri later could use a sword but using it like a spear.
The old man then left to search for Intan to congratulate her in destroying Putri.
Meanwhile, Alex and the others were laughing. Charya said, "Alright. I am going back to my house first to grab my wine. You guys wait for me here."
After Charya left, Alex also said, "I am going to have a breather outside first."
He left the house into the field and made sure no one followed him. He activated a Sound Insulation Array and called Anna.
"Anna, you can use a curse, right?"
"Yes. Why do you ask, Alex?"
"Do you have any curse that has the same effect as what was inflicted to Senior Sister"s body?"
"Hmm, I do not have that one. Do you mean to put a curse on someone?"
"Yes. But since you do not have it, I will try another way. Even though I have paid them back for crippling my Senior Sister from using a spear, I still have not paid them back for the curse."
"Oh, I a.s.sume, you must vent your anger a little bit in the arena."
"Hehe… I will not deny that."
"Well, just make sure you are not blinded by revenge. But if you want a curse, I have a particular curse that is better than that curse."
"Oh?" Alex was astonished. This was the first time he talked about Anna"s curse ability. Of course, besides the one that she used when he was in Zunde Field. The one that could decrease the opponent"s strength a little bit.
"Well, I called this curse Never Ending Nightmare. Although this curse is not that powerful, that could kill someone… Maybe it can. Anyway, the effect of the curse is to let someone have a nightmare every time they are cultivating deeply.
"It is pretty effective for someone who wounded badly since if they tried to recover their power normally, they would face the biggest nightmare in their life. They will keep recalling it again and again, and it will make them unable to concentrate.
"In severe cases, it can make a hard depression and suicide. Of course, it might take a little bit longer to make them like that. But the special characteristic from this curse is even though it is not that powerful, it is hard to detect unless you are a master of curses."
"Hoo…" Alex was surprised by the effect. This curse would be perfect for Intan and Mega. Both of them had severe injuries from him.
Mega had a huge physical injury and some physiological injuries after that beating from him. It should haunt her for the time being and, if possible, make her crazy.
On the other hand, Intan had severe internal injuries. With this curse, she would not be able to recover in a short time. And after losing the ability to wield a spear, this curse would be more effective.
"Njomo, Anna," Alex called him, and Njomo immediately came out of his shadow. Anna also appeared with the summon of his card.
"Woof!"
"Alex."
"Can Anna inflict the curse to both Intan and that princess? You can bring Njomo so you won"t be spotted by them."
"Of course, we can." Anna smiled.
"Woof!" Njomo nodded.
"After that, just wait for me in the house. I will come back later." Said Alex to Anna. He then turned to Njomo, "After you finished, try to follow them and check what they are up to. I will respond accordingly."
"Alright."
"Woof."
Anna and Njomo left for their mission. Alex opened his mission and used his dart.
He once again teleported to the white world, where he used the Dart Roulette. And of course, the system girl had been waiting for him.
She came toward him while presenting a board. Alex looked at the board.
UR – Legendary Thousand Flower Wine
SR – Mythical Safety Shoes
SR – 100x100 meter Array Paper
R – Lord Stage Safety Gloves
R – Thunder Orb
R – Grandmaster Stage Monster Blood
So, he could get these six items from this roulette. But since he only had three darts, he might only be able to get one UR and two SR.
"Well, I a.s.sume you are going by the three highest." She said.
Alex nodded his head. But looking at the name of the reward…"Mythical Safety Shoes… the name is not that creative."
"Host, there are too many items inside the Gacha System. Do you want to remember everything in your head?" She asked with a smile.
Alex looked away and said, "No."
"Then, you should proceed. You should be able to get those three." She said. She then clapped her hand, and the wheel started spinning.
Alex nodded to her and looked at the spinning roulette. He threw the dart from his hand with a little bit more power, so the dart would stick on the roulette board.
[UR – Legendary Thousand Flower Wine]
He got the first item he wanted. He continued to get the other two SR. Since they were going to have a party, he thought there should be a good wine there.
As for the Mythical Safety Shoes, he would immediately equip it. And the last thing which was the array paper. He thought about cutting it into four 50x50 meter Array Paper and drew four rank 4 Teleportation Array.
He wanted to be prepared for anything. Even though he could teleport by using the array himself, he wanted to mask his s.p.a.ce Element by using the Teleportation Array Plate. Well, if push comes to shove, he would just blow his cover. But he hoped there would not be a need to do that for a while.
After he finished, he came back to the real world.
He searched for his surroundings with his Spirit Eyes and seemed no one around. He then came back to the house.
But before he met the others, Putri came to him. She seemed a bit worried about him because he would be targeted by the Southern Kingdom after this.
Alex smiled, "Well, it is perfect. I also want to say something to you. Let"s talk outside."
Putri nodded and followed him outside. When they were out, Alex activated a Sound Insulation Array, so Song Yu would not be able to hear it.
"I know you are worried about me because of this retaliation thing. But do not worry, I will be fine. I should be the one who worries about you."
"You are… my master, after all." She said weirdly. Just before, she was his Senior Sister, and not long after that, she became his disciple.
"No, what I want to say is I will not be in this place for a long time. There is something that I need to do out there. So, I am a careful person, but no matter how careful I am, I am targeted by the Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom.
"And I don"t know about the future. I might be able to fight with the Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. But in the future, there are enemies that are far stronger than that. I am afraid that you will be dragged into it.
"I have been careful, so I do not have many friends since they might target my friends in the future. Of course, I am trying very hard to avoid that. But I do not know what will happen in the future.
"So, Senior Sister does not need to be my disciple. We can just be friends, and I will try to teach you like Evelyn." Alex explained.
Putri looked down. She knew, with Alex"s potential, this place would not be able to tie him down. She knew that she didn"t have any talent to help her. She gritted her teeth but didn"t say anything.
She was thinking of how to help him. She remembered Alex told them about his plan. Since he was planning to stay inside the sect for a while before leaving for a breakthrough, she would practice a little bit until she could use a sword like a spear. After that, she will embark on her own journey.
She was determined to get stronger and helped him in the future. Since she had separated herself with her family, she thought it would be the best time to embark on a journey.
She didn"t accept Alex canceling their Master and Disciple relations.h.i.+p. "Can I think about it first?"
"Sure." Alex didn"t know what was on her mind, so Alex agreed to give her more time. She just wanted to buy some time since they could not cancel it if she were missing. She might be too ashamed to tell others she was his disciple if she was too weak. Others might say that she only took his kindness for granted.
"Let"s go back," Alex said with a nod.
Not long after, Charya came back with a huge jar of wine. "Haha, let"s drink. This is my favorite wine, Pearl Wine. Song Yu, help me pour it."
Song Yu happily complied as she started pouring the wine for Charya, Alex, Putri, Evelyn, and lastly, for her.
Alex activated his Spirit Eyes because he felt the energy inside the wine. He was astonished as the wine contained an energy equal to a pill.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone started enjoying the wine while Alex was observing the effect of the wine in his body. The effect was the same as the Energy Pill, but unlike the energy pill, he could drink it again and again. And surprisingly, the effect was surpa.s.sing the effect of Gathering Array.
He also recognized the smell of many medicinal herbs inside the wine. Unfortunately, he could not recognize which herbs inside the wine. After this, he realized that even though he was an Alchemist. His knowledge about the herbs and medicine itself was not that much.
He could only make pills since the recipe was there. But if he thought like this, he might not be able to come up with an original pill no matter how hard he thought. He never bothered by this because his main path was his Spear and Sword, not as an Alchemist or Array Master.
He thought he might need to take some time to research that. But if he could not, then he didn"t mind.
After enjoying the wine, he opened his eyes. He looked at Evelyn, who had the lowest cultivation. There was a tinge red on her face. Because of her low cultivation, she could not immediately refine the energy inside the wine, and that led the tinge red to appear on her face.
Before they knew it, they had finished the entire jar. Well, Charya was the one who drank most of it.
"Oh, the wine has run out. I don"t think I have another Pearl Wine, so if you guys don"t mind, I can bring a lower grade one."
"If you don"t mind, we can drink mine," Alex said while taking out the Legendary Thousand Flower Wine he just got from the system. He wanted to see the effect of this UR wine, so he thought about sharing it.
Everyone was surprised to see Alex also had wine. Looking at the new big jar that had a flower pattern on it. They were curious about what kind of wine Alex had.
"This wine is called Legendary Thousand Flower Wine." He said while opening the lid.
An intense wine aroma immediately filled the room as soon as he opened the lid. The rich aroma intoxicated everyone, especially Evelyn, whose face quickly became red.
Alex looked at his wine with his Spirit Eyes and was surprised to see the energy inside the wine. It surpa.s.sed the energy from Charya"s wine by far. If Charya"s wine had those effects, he thought about using small cups. The size of the cups was the same as the j.a.panese"s sake cup.
They couldn"t think about rejecting Alex"s wine after smelling the aroma.
They drank the wine together, and as soon as they drank the wine, their energy, including Alex"s, sparked.
