Chapter 1583 First Break

Chapter 1583 First Break

Everyone looked at Alex with a weird looks on their faces. They had all read the rules and they all knew what was coming.

The reset had hit and as such Alex needed a win before he accepted any fight. Many people still wanted to challenge him, as the pills were too great to give up on.

However, no one wanted to be on the wrong side of a King, even disregarding the warning he had written on the rules.

A young man with soft gray hair quickly raised his hands. "Me! Me!" he shouted, catching everyone's attention.

Alex looked in his direction and felt a cultivation base of Saint Foundation's 8th realm. He was quite a weak cultivator.

"Do you want to challenge me?" Alex asked.

"I can get a pill if I lose, right?" the young man asked.

Alex nodded. "Whichever of the five pills you choose from," he said.

"Then I challenge you, Your Majesty," the young man said excitedly.

As someone with such a weak cultivation base, the young man had little chance of making anything of himself in the secret realm. He had simply entered the secret realm because he could and because his sect had a lot of members taking part.

Losing in just a month or two was something he expected from this. All he wanted was the experience. However, along with that experience, if he could also gain some of the best pills in the entire world, then it would not be a waste at all.

Alex accepted the match, and not even a minute later, it was over. The young man gratefully took the cultivation pill he got and walked away to cultivate.

Seeing the young man, many people got new ideas on what to do and started contacting weaker members of their sects and clans so they could get their hands on pills without having to win against Alex.

"10 more minutes and we'll continue again."

And it continued

4 days passed by quickly, and Alex's training was starting to show more signs of success. His Sword Intent grew slow but steady. Pearl also grew slowly, getting more and more used to fighting.

They still lost a lot, and with stronger people coming to fight him, the list simply didn't seem like it would stop at any point.

Thankfully, Alex was starting to be able to drag things out for longer and longer and as such he had to fight less and less overall.

Teng Roukang still came to challenge him, beating him every time. But this time around, he seemed more troubled. He was angry that he didn't get to fight Alex whenever he wanted to. He had to follow the rules too, so he could only wait for his turn to come.

One of those days, he had to wait more than a day before it came. He was quite angry about that and he didn't hide it from Alex.

"Your Majesty, you should get rid of this system. You can't grow by fighting weaklings. You need to be able to fight us strong folks if you wish to grow," the man told him during their latest battle.

"That's alright. I quite like it this way. Gives me the breaks I need," was Alex's answer, and he had definitely not like that.

The 6th reset hit while Pearl was fighting someone. After a bit of a tough battle, Pearl ended up losing against a girl with a cultivation base of Saint Core 5th realm. She was one of the only ones with that cultivation base to win against Pearl now, and it was entirely thanks to her defensive armor.

'I'll have to soon increase the level as which Pearl can fight now,' he thought. For now, the current levels felt fine.

After the battle was over, Alex stood up and looked toward Whisker. "Who is in the losing now?" he asked. Due to the influx of people wanting to challenge him on reset to lose and earn a pill, they had to make a queue there as well.

Before Whisker could answer, an old woman walked forward, ready for the challenge. Whisker nodded his approval and Alex accepted the fight.

The battle ended in just one strike. Alex had begun to efficiently end these battles.

After giving away a healing pill, he looked at the people who waited for their turn. But many already knew it wouldn't come for them today.

"As you all know, this is the 6th day and after every 5 days, I take a 2-day break," Alex said to the ones gathered around. "So, I will be cultivating now. Please do not bother me."

Alex took back his canvas, his puppet, and Whisker before setting up a formation that blocked the outside world. Finding his little privacy, he sat down relieved, and began simply checking before he had anything else to do.

The things that he most desperately needed to check on were the two trees. The Yang tree was a small sapling, giving off some heat and very little light now. The World Tree was also a sapling, but much younger and had its roots move out of the soil they were in, spreading through his Soul Space like tentacles looking to drain anything it could find.

Alex gave the trees some water from his Bottomless Flask, as well as other sources that had nutritional value to the two trees.

Once he was done with them, he looked toward his pile of pills and sighed. He had a lot of pills, but they seemed to no longer be enough for him. If he didn't make some more, at the rate he was losing, he would only have the best pills remaining and he didn't want to give those away.

'I will have to make some when I find the time next,' he thought. For now, it was time to cultivate.

He brought out two cultivation pills and handed one over to Pearl. Since Whisker cultivated through his Undying Physique, he would have to wait.

Quite a bit of Yin Qi had built up in his Dantian, which he could sense quite easily when viewing it through his spirit. His Yin Dao did help mitigate its effect on the body, but it still wasn't good for him to keep it building up.

It could affect his spirit in a rather bad way. nove-lb-In

So, without hesitation, he started cultivating. Thanks to the pill he ate, his cultivation speed was rather fast and he quickly got rid of all the Yin in his body.

He sensed the talisman buzz once during the next day and before noon hit after that, he stopped his cultivation session and got rid of the formation plates.

When people got to see him, they all looked at him excited.

"I will take two from the Loss queue. One right now, and one after reset hits," Alex said, letting Whisker get into place once again. "Who is next?

A young man came up and fought him, losing instantly. He happily left after getting his pill.

The rest of the people were barely holding themselves back by the time reset hit again. Once Alex dealt with another one of his Loss matches, he began his fight once more.
