Chapter 1979 An Event

Alex was excited about having done an attack that put him in the top 92%. Considering where he was currently, that was more than exceptional. Still, there was one more attack he could do that would be stronger.

Alex prepared the same attack once again, only this time, he added True Fire Dao into it. He poured every bit inside of him into it and slashed, using the attack he had named True Immolation Strike.

The attack left behind a trail of fire which struck the puppet and immediately immolated it. The chrome metal burned, revealing the pink surface underneath, while there was also a chunk of the piece at the center missing.

The fire was extinguished a moment later and the puppet restored everything else a moment after that. Then, the messages appeared, giving Alex an absolutely blissful feeling.

Immortal Origin 2nd realm.

Fire Elemental attack, Metal Elemental Attack, Blood aura attack, Spiritual energy attack.

81%.

"Wow!" Alex couldn't help but be surprised by the jump in number. He had gone from 92% to 81% at once.

"That attack of mine should be as strong as a regular Immortal Origin 2nd realm cultivator," Alex thought. If he improved in other instances, he could do a lot better as well.

Alex put back Midnight and sat down, taking a bit of a break. He had used up a bit of Qi during this test and had been somewhat tired. He needed a bit of rest.

"Did I overdo it by getting 6 hours in here?" he wondered. Nearly an hour had passed since he came here, but not much more than that had been needed. He decided to get his money's worth back by fighting a bit more.

He began tossing out attacks and training using the puppet. By using more True Immolation Strike, his body and soul got used to the burden and requirements of the attack, and that would help him get used to it better.

At some point, he also realized that he could change the puppet from a stationary mode to two other modes. One of those modes made the puppet run around the room, trying to dodge Alex's attacks.

The other mode made it fight back with only physical attacks. The attacks were too weak to hurt, but the point of it was for the cultivator to understand their shortcomings, so that was more than enough.

"But what if the other alchemist is also a Supreme Alchemist?" the first man said.

"She's not. I went to her store yesterday to check. She's only a Superior Alchemist."

"Oh, you should've told me beforehand." The young man left to make the bet. Alex walked toward the man who remained and asked, "Excuse me, can you tell me what is going on here?" The man turned to Alex and looked over him for a moment before shrugging. "It's just a competition between two alchemists in the city. It happens from time to time when some weaker Alchemists challenge a stronger Alchemist to a duel and the whole city comes together to bet on who will win."

Alex looked down at the crowd and was surprised that they were here to see a match between Alchemists. It reminded him of the time when he had a match with the Dragon Emperor.

"Do you know who the alchemists are?" Alex asked.

"Supreme Immortal Alchemist Ming, and Superior Immortal Alchemist Wang," the man answered.

Alex frowned immediately upon hearing the first name. He had heard of Supreme Immortal Alchemist Ming. It was a name he came across when researching the Gale's True Apothecary store. Alchemist Ming was their best Alchemist.

He hadn't ever met the guy, but since he was involved with those people, Alex couldn't help but think of him in a negative light. "She's here!" a few people began saying one after another, and Alex turned to look at where they were pointed.

From the other side of the city, a woman in a fine pink and white dress glided down onto the empty space and landed gently.

She stood up, revealing the leaf-shaped pendant she wore on her chest, one that claimed her a Superior Immortal Alchemist.

"One of them is here. Where is the other one?" people began asking. Everyone began looking around.

Alex looked around too, more as a reaction to everyone looking around. He wasn't particularly searching for anyone at all.

As he did, his eyes fell on one of the other roofs, pausing instantly as he noticed someone looking directly at him.

Alex felt his soul shake for a moment as the single eye of the thin and bald one-eyed old man was staring directly at him.

He hadn't thought that he would see this man once again after meeting him back in the BlackFrost Alchemy guild once before.
