148 Tournament 3

"Sherry?" Alex was surprised by the sudden appearance of Sherry.

"Wuu" Sherry greeted him. But suddenly she felt an ominous intent from something beside her master. She immediately leaps toward his embrace, of course, Alex instinctively caught her.

Yes, her instinct was true, just as she leaped, two hands suddenly appeared at her original position. If she was late, she will be caught by those hands. Alex was surprised to see this, he looks at the original owner of those hands and found that the owner is Nakagawa Hiina.

"You…that fox… How adorable!" She after all, still a girl. There is no way that she won't be captivated by Sherry's cuteness. She still trying to grab Sherry.

Alex protected Sherry from those hands.

"What are you doing?" She was annoyed. Alex keeps obstructing her to grab Sherry. "Are you her owner?"

"Owner? No, I'm her partner"

"Hmph, it is the same. I want her!" She becomes unreasonable. Alex keeps obstructing her. While Sherry is sticking out her tongue at her.

"How much do you want to let her go?" She glared at him.

"She is not a thing. She is my partner. There's no way I'm letting her go" Alex said. Sherry nods her head in satisfaction.

Seeing that She can't take away Sherry at the moment. She stops for now. Now, she completely forgets her original intention.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness." Hiina finally calms down. She looks at him while taking a glance at Sherry now and then. "You are strong. Which sect you are going to join?"

"It is none of your business." Alex said while patting Sherry's head.

"You!"

"Wuu Wuu" Sherry tug his hand. Alex looks at her. Then she pointed her paw at him then at Nakagawa Hiina and shook her head. "Wuu"

She seems telling her it wasn't going to happen. Alex giggled. Sherry then pointed at Hiina while looking at him and shook her head a few times. She was telling him that this 'Hiina' beside him is a disappointment.

Alex can't help but laugh a little. But, on the contrary, Hiina was angered because she was looked down upon by a Fox. But the fox is cute… She is grumbling inside her.

"Wuu(Master)"

Alex looks at her since she called him. "What is it?"

"Wuu Wuu Wuu Wuu Wuu Wuu" She suddenly started scolding him. Alex understood her meaning, he immediately showed his left ring finger. "I know. Look, this ring won't come off from my Finger. This ring will always be my reminder"

"Wuu" She nodded in satisfaction. Alex can only shake his head, Just as she was about to go back, she suddenly sniffing around his ring. "Wuu!"

"Wuu!" She is telling him that she wanted to eat. Alex was confused, is there anything special inside his space ring. But an image appeared in his mind. The image of five blue pills inside his space ring.

'Don't tell me…' Alex thought as he took out a blue pill from his space ring.

Hiina, who was grumbling until now, suddenly stop and look at him. The appearance of a pure blue pill, she noticed there is a trace of fire energy inside the pill, there is only one pill that fulfills all those characteristics,

"Fire Spirit Pill! And from the look of it, it is a Fire Spirit Pill with 100% purity" She blurted out those words from her mouth.

"Oh, you know about this pill?" Alex looked at her without expression.

"This pill is very beneficial to Fire Martial Master. With its 100% purity. If it was auctioned, it can reach more than a thousand Spirit Stones."

Sherry casually swallowed the pill. Her eyes blinked, "Wuu! (More!)"

Alex took out four more Fire Spirit Pills and Sherry swallowed them once more, "Wuu Wuu (Master, I will sleep again, When I wake up, I will become a 5-Star Martial Master)"

"Another four with perfect purity. Five Thousand Spirit Stones…" Hiina was too shocked by this. Not to mention her, even her father who is a City Lord, can't enjoy such treatment. But the fox in front of her just ate them casually. The Four Big Families have 200 Spirit Stones as one-year revenue, but they mostly in Gold, 100 golds can be exchanged to 1 Spirit Stone, but no one wanted to exchange the Spirit Stone. Even for her family, who have 300 Spirit Stones as one-year revenue along with the status of City Lord, it is still quite hard to get spirit stones. If she had unlimited Spirit Stones, she might be able to break through to Martial Grandmaster next year. That's why when she saw Alex fed his fox with Five Spirit Pills, she is wondering. To be able to feed a Fox with 500 Spirit Stones, his identity must be unordinary, "Who are you!"

"A nobody" Alex nonchalantly said, But in his heart, he was bleeding 'Ugh…My Fire Spirit Pill, I thought I can take them and boost my Cultivation when I arrived at the sect.'

Sherry ignored them and went back inside him, it seems that she went out just because of this. Although finding the Fire Spirit Pills were a bonus, maybe she can also feel the woman in front of him are stronger than her, she can't beat her right now. While Alex suddenly becomes positive. If he positively looks at this, She said that one Fire Spirit Pill is equal to a thousand Spirit Stones. Judging from the situation in Alchemist Guild. He got three sets of ingredients and the cost might be around a hundred Spirit Stones. And those equal to Five Thousand Spirit Stones.

It's true, as an Alchemist. For practicing up to this level, and the chance of failure when making the pill will be more than this. But Alex has a very vast knowledge about Alchemy and Medicinal Ingredients because of his Alchemy Manual. And don't forget he is an Array Master, with the vast knowledge of Medicinal Ingredients, he can recreate them in Illusion Array, thus resulting in his 'Simulation Room'. In his 'Simulation Room', he can train his alchemy skill and practice refining some pills. He can reduce the cost for practice to minimum and minimize the chance of failure since he can refine pills unlimitedly in the Simulation Room.

Of course, this can't be done for anyone, only Alex who has a vast amount of knowledge about Alchemy and Medicinal Ingredients, along with his identity as an Array Master. But this can be only achieved because he had a Space Element. If he can advance his knowledge about Space Element, he might be able to make a Reality Simulation Room, where he can adjust the environment to his own need, he needs to thank his System to grant him Space Element and his Master who said that Space Element help him to advance as an Array Master, that was the thing that inspired him to make 'Simulation Room', but for now, the only thing he can think at this moment. 'What a wonderful world.'

"You have a wife?" Hiina wanted to slap this bast*ard who easily threw five thousand Spirit Stones away just like that. But considering his unknown identity, She can't do that. She remembered something about him showing his ring in his Ring Finger. Her eyes brightened.

"Two" Alex blurted out unconsciously. Since he is still in a daze on his positive point of view.

"Two? As expected, you men are lecherous. You seem to be only 1 or 2 years older than me. But you have already got two wives." She looks at him like looking at a Lecher. But, she still didn't throw the possibility to become his…

(AN: Sorry Girl, you have been identified as a gold digger by Sherry of the Thot Slayer)

"Then, go away. It's not like your brother's reputation is any better" Alex said while adding, 'According to Kenshin's word, though' in his mind.

"You!" She herself knows what kind of man her brother is. But, letting other people said it, is different when she scolder her own brother because of his deed.

But, before she releases her Spiritual Energy. There is a sudden announcement.

"Block C Participants, please go to the arena."

"Ah, we have been called. Time to go" Alex disappeared.

"You!" She completely forgot about her original intention when Alex mentioned her brother. "I won't let you off in the arena."

…

In the VIP Seat, nine people are watching the participants walking to the arena. Yeah, they are the elders from the four sects and the Five Big Families head.

Su Hua, who was observing the participants, finally found Alex from the crowd. His eyes brightened. He is preparing his plan to recruit Alex. If Alex loses, he can immediately go to the arena and recruit him in front of all these people. It should be sufficient to see how sincere he is.

"Battle Royale for Block C, Start!"

"Uwoh!"

In the arena, three people are suddenly coming toward him. Their cultivation also 1-Star Martial Master. Alex looked at them, he felt that these people intentionally target him.

"Haha, you have offended someone you can't offend. You have offended our Young Master Soma. He asked us to make you fail. If you just leave Young Master Kenshin's side, maybe Young Master Soma will have mercy on you. But sadly you are a fool" One of them said.

Alex only shook his head, he thought inwardly. 'you guys are the fools, no one is stupid enough to tell their enemies who are their boss so they know who they need to find for revenge'

He runs away. He is planning to use the same strategy as Kenshin. Buy time before he finishes them off.

"Wait!" They immediately chased him.

Alex keeps running, he wasn't bothered by them. Even the other participants can't keep him even for a second.

"Hey! Hear me out. That guy has offended Young Master Kenshin. Young Master will greatly reward those who can make him fail" Suddenly, one of the pursuers said loudly. When the other participants heard him, they change their focus to Alex. They most likely won't win, so if they can take a separate reward from Young Master Soma, it was worthwhile, they thought.

Alex frowned. Not only him, Su Hua who was in the VIP seat also frowned. "Himura Takata, This 'Young Master Soma' in their mouth is the current genius of Himura House, Himura Soma, right?"

"Ye-yes elder" Takata who didn't know anything about this was confused.

"What is the meaning of Himura House to specially target one person?" He looked at Takata with a scary glare.

"No, I didn't know about this Elder. Because of the rumor about my son, Himura Kenshin. Himura Soma's reputation is growing. He can act unruly because he got the protection of his father, Himura House First Elder. With his son become the new genius of Himura House, the first elder's influence was grown. From my speculation, because he is close to my Son, he might be implicated" Takata explains hurriedly, even if he needs to talk about the house matter, he needs to make it clear that they don't have any relation to him. He noticed that when the participants came out, this Elder focus was on him from the beginning.

"Old Su, why are you reacting so strongly when it comes to this Young Man?" Conn Kindellan asked. He took a bit of interest in Himura Kenshin after looking at his performance in the first block along with his unique sword. He thought that this 'Himura Kenshin' is a bit interesting. Now that Su Hua, this old man suddenly reacts so strongly when it comes to the young man who is close to Himura Kenshin, he is a bit interested too. When he observed Alex, there is something that undescribable within him. He felt that he is far stronger than 'Himura Kenshin'. "Have this young man offend you?"

"That's right. He offends me. He said that he was going to your Heavenly Sword Sect. If you dare to accept him, you are going to offend me"

"Hoo…" Conn was astonished, but he still didn't accept, while the other elders and family heads though that this Young Man is finished.

"Elder, I'm sure there is a misunderstanding" Since he is close to his son, Takata tried to protect him.

"There is no misunderstanding. If any of you guys dare to accept him, You are going to offend me too" Su Hua makes it clear.

Offending one of the ten rank 5 alchemists wasn't a small deal.

"To make trouble isn't my Buddha way. I won't accept him to my Buddha Sect" Dominic said

"Rainbow Flower Sect is a sect exclusive for women. Of course, we won't accept him" Amira also makes it clear.

The only one who didn't make it clear is Conn, the elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect. "Since he wants to join my Heavenly Sword Sect, I will see his performance first."
