Alex was trying to keep his mind calm. He looked at the bright blue sky, thinking about something. To think that having known himself as a reincarnated person was this troubling. If he had his full memory from the start, maybe he wouldn't get something like this.
Especially the trouble in his heart. When he saw a shadow bird in the sky, he said, "Come back."
Not long after, Leoz, Fabio, and Nelson appeared in front of him. Alex decided to become him, not his previous self, so he asked this to other spirits, "I might not become what you want like in the previous life, even so, will all of you stay by my side?"
Obviously, the spirits were very confused by that. They didn't expect to meet this kind of question. Leoz said with serious eyes. "Young Master, the moment we decided to become one of the spirits for the system. We are prepared to follow you for the rest of our life, no matter what happens in the future."
"That's right. It is a stupid question, Young Master. Please trust us more," Nelson added. Fabio also nodded in agreement.
Alex smiled a bit and said, "Thanks."
Anna looked at Alex's expression, but she couldn't understand what's his thinking. She could only see a calm expression on Alex. But, at least she felt that Alex had come to a term with the reincarnation thing.
Nelson took out the Phoenix egg, Alex hadn't finished absorbing the spirit. Nelson said, "Young Master. Now, I feel this phoenix might be useful for you. I know that Young Master won't enslave it like the story.
"But I think Young Master still can use it as a pet or even better if it becomes like Sherry's case. Normal people might find it difficult to bear the cost. However, I just remembered that Young Master would soon get more than three million Spirit Stones.
"Well, I heard a weird rumor about it too. The phoenix seems very like a host of Pure Fire Element, especially if they had this Undying Fire Body," Nelson said. He remembered that Alex's previous best friend had a phoenix as his pet and partner. Its growth was comparable to Sherry's. Of course, Nelson wouldn't mention Alex's previous best friend.
Alex narrowed his eyes. "Is that so? But, even if the phoenix revived back, I have absorbed some of its energy."
Nelson understood Alex's concern. "Young Master can try to pour your Pure Fire inside this egg. The phoenix should evolve after that like Sherry."
Alex hesitated a bit. He tried to insert his Pure Fire to the blazing egg. Like it was responding to him, it started sucking his Pure Fire Element madly.
It continued for an hour before suddenly he felt a familiar feeling. It was the feeling where Sherry's tried to stop his berserk in the Death Forest.
Nelson and the rest noticed it too. Their eyes brightened. It was another Life and Death Contract. The phoenix surely became like Sherry, his other partner.
After making the contract, the phoenix started sucking his Spiritual Energy. Its power started rising.
Body Tempering Stage of Foundation Stage...
Qi Gathering Stage...
Qi Manipulation Stage...
1-Star Martial Master...
It continued rising until it stopped at 8-Star Martial Master. Alex found it confusing. Back then, Sherry didn't have something like this. "What happened? I feel Sherry wasn't like this."
"Back then, you and Sherry were the same rank. Now, your power has far greater than the phoenix, also, your Pure Fire had yet to evolve back then. Now, you are far stronger, and your Pure Fire has awakened. The phoenix took a part of it, and it evolved. I believe it is such in this case."
After hearing Nelson's explanation, he thought it was convincing. The phoenix egg started cracking before a phoenix came out of its egg. The phoenix egg was much bigger than a human head, and the phoenix that came out of it was also big.
The phoenix had a wingspan of five meters. After it came out, the phoenix approached Alex and started stroking its head on Alex's cheek. It seemed that it was true, the phoenix didn't hold its previous memory.
Alex chuckled a bit and asked, "Are you a female?"
The phoenix shook his head. Alex then named him, "Alright. Since it is the case, your name shall be Kyle."
"Chirp!" It seemed like it too. Although its intelligence wasn't that high at the moment, it must be because he just came out of his egg.
"Can you go inside my body?"
"Chirp!"
"Go inside for a while, alright," Alex said. He had another important matter after this. Kyle nodded and went back inside.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Leoz asked.
"I think, I will go to the Zhou Kingdom after this," Nelson said.
"I will just kill monsters as many as possible, trying to level up a bit faster," Fabio said.
"I can kill too, Young Master," Greg nodded.
Alex pondered a bit before telling them his decision, "Leoz will go with Nelson to the Zhou Kingdom. If necessary, please help Nelson there. After all, you have become a Martial Lord.
"Fabio will try leveling up around the sect. As for Greg, I will put you in the Faction first so he will get EXP. I will also put Salijan and Wright in the Spirit Nest.
"After reaching Martial Master... maybe 6 or 7-Star. I want you three to go to Fabio and grind around him until you reach Martial Grandmaster. After that, you can try to move alone.
"With this so much spirit to level up, I'm sure it is taking a toll on Leoz's and Fabio's body. I can only apologize for that."
"No, Young Master. It is a great plan. You are thinking of a grander plan for us." Leoz understood why Alex added Salijan and Wright in the spirit nest. It was for their development on a grander scale.
"Anna, Greg, and Fabio will go to the cards first. I will summon you later," Alex said. He hadn't met with Salijan, but he could do it later.
"Then, we will also move toward the Zhou Kingdom," Leoz said.
Alex nodded, "I leave it to you two."
Leoz and Nelson nodded then went on their way. Alex then made his way toward the sect.
The people from Onsul Town were celebrating their victory. The number of casualties wasn't that much. They thought it would be around triple the number, but because of Alex and the others, that wasn't going to happen.
Although the people were celebrating, the high ranking people from prominent families inside the Onsul Town, couldn't. Alex was missing, or in fact, he didn't care about them. They thought about making some celebrations so they could pull some relationship with him. Sadly their plan was a failure.
Of course, there was another one who got depressed because of this incident.
...
The nature goddess was a bit depressed because of that incident.
"As expected, he knows about his reincarnation thing. His emotion... I don't know if this is bad or good for him. It seems that he decided to leave it in the future.
"Knowing him, it seems that husband also didn't want to make him inherit his old memory. I should find a way to get him to fall in love again. Anyway, Anna did a good job there. I should also step up my game. See you soon, Alex. Fufu..."
She got her determination back and started working.
...
It took Alex only a day to reach the sect. Well, he should be able to get it sooner if he didn't go around some towns to pass by those people.
When he passed by Song Yu's house, it seemed Song Yu had heard him. She came out of her house and shouted, "Alex, come here."
Alex turned back and came to Song Yu. Song Yu tilted her head. She felt Alex had somewhat changed, but she didn't know where. But it seemed Alex became a bit calmer and mature.
"This is the money for those pills. Since we sold it in bulk, they raised it to four million Spirit Stones. Here is your share, three million six hundred thousand.
"I have already bought the medicinal ingredients. It is also a three hundred set of ingredients. Don't worry. It is on me this time. Hehe, you have become rich. Tycoon, let's be friends," Song Yu teased him.
Alex chuckled in response.
"I'm starting to regret my decision to lower my share. No, you should be the one regret for sharing it with me." Song Yu glanced at him with a cheeky smile.
"Don't jest, Senior Sister. I can only do this on this continent. What will happen if I come to your continent? I can only depend on you."
"Hoho, you talked big, aren't you. Well, you are already a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster. So, I'm sure you can talk-" She said it casually until she felt something wrong.
She looked at Alex again with her eyes wide open. She was too shocked. "You have become a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster?"
Alex nodded.
"You, a month ago, you were only an 8-Star Martial Master that was going to breakthrough. I thought you were back because you failed." Song Yu said with a dumbfounded expression. She remembered that Alex was only an 8-Star Martial Master.
After all, a month ago, Anna went to her house and gave her the pills that he had been working on for almost three months. Then he went outside the sect for a month, and he suddenly became a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster. She could only stare at Alex like he was a monster.
She felt like it was not an empty boasting anymore. He might make a breakthrough to Martial Lord before the Continent Grand Tournament started. At that time, she might also bring him to her hous- Ahem, to her continent. So he could develop further.
Alex was really a rarely seen genius. His way of Alchemy was also top notch.
Alex said while trying to comfort her, "I am just a bit lucky this time."
Well, he was indeed lucky. But he didn't exploit his resources greedily. It was like that for the Blazing Pond. If not, he might only become a 2-Star Martial Grandmaster this time.
Of course, Song Yu still couldn't believe it was a stroke of luck. But she didn't delve any further. But Alex's figure was becoming more and more mysterious in her mind. Well, at least, she was his Senior Sister.
"Alright, I shouldn't keep you any longer. You must be tired after your journey," Song Yu said. "Oh, that's right. I almost forgot about this. There is a cave of inheritance on the Death Forest."
Alex's eyes widened. To hear the term 'Death Forest' once again, he couldn't help but surprise. After all, that name brought him so much memory, specifically tragedy.
"It is an Ancient Inheritance from a Martial Emperor. It is said that a Martial Emperor came from another continent and died in this land. He made a special realm that covered the entire Death Forest. And only Martial Grandmasters can enter that realm."
Alex's mouth opened. He was astonished to hear that. He just went back to the sect, and he got this information.
"The realm will open six months after the outer disciple ranking. So, you have a week and two months to prepare. Since you are only familiar with Putri at this peak, you will go with Putri.
"Well, Putri's home is close to that place. And she will go with the Southern Kingdom's princess. Normally, you need to fly for a week to get there. With her flying boat, you should be able to reach it within only three days."
"Southern Kingdom's princess?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"Yeah, Putri is also a rich young miss, you know. Although you might have gotten her entire family one year revenue with just selling pills, anyway, she is from the Makmur Family from the Southern Kingdom.
"She is close to the Southern Kingdom's third princess. Her name is Mega Indrajaja."
"You will be going in a week before the opening. So, you only have two months for this. Anyway, Putri will inform you later. It's time for me to go," Song Yu explained and left
Alex then said goodbye and went to his house. He had dropped Fabio a bit far from Heavenly Sword Sect. He thought that place was the best for leveling up, so he did that. Alex summoned Anna.
Alex was trying to keep his mind calm. He looked at the bright blue sky, thinking about something. To think that having known himself as a reincarnated person was this troubling. If he had his full memory from the start, maybe he wouldn't get something like this.
