Gacha Sovereign Chapter 182: Battle Tower

Chapter 182 Battle Tower

*Clang*
Alex tried destroying the earth wall a couple of times. His Sanguin Sword Art was useless without Sword Intent. It seems and sending Sword Intent as a Martial Master would be unusual and eye-catching, also it still not the time to show it yet. Suddenly an idea flashed his mind, there is one more thing he hasn't done that completely normal.
First, he covers his Sword with his Sword Intent. This is considered normal even for a new disciple. He would only be branded as a somewhat genius by others. He struck the wall casually.
"First Strike"
After hearing the half-ass effort from Alex. It seems that Alex's would give up soon.
"Second Strike"
But after the stronger second strike, Tata frowned. He noticed the Sword Intent from outside. 'For a new disciple to have a Sword Intent. Is he also a disciple for an inner or core disciple?'
"Third Strike"
Again, the strike gets stronger. Tata tries breaking Alex's concentration. "New Disciple. It's better to leave me alone."
"Fourth Strike"
Alex ignored his words and continued.
"Fifth Strike"
*Crack*
There is a sudden crack sound. Alex has been striking at the same spot for five times. It seems that his effort going to be rewarded soon. On the contrary, Tata sweatdropped. 'Is he really a 4-Star Martial Master?'
"Junior Brother. You should stop now. We can still go on our own way after this and pretend nothing happens. I'm under-" Tata didn't finish his word before Alex suddenly,
"Sixth Strike"
*Baam!*
Alex finally broke the wall. Tata hurriedly said, "I'm under Jarel Hoy, an inner-"
"Don't care" Alex didn't let him finish his word and kick him in the chest strong enough to spat some blood. "You want to rob me. Then, I will let you off after I rob you completely. You are lucky since we can't kill people in the sect. Now hand over your points. If not, you will also meet the same fate as your friend!"
"I-I will give you." He sweatdropped. Looking at his friend's injury, He needs around a year for recuperation. If that also happened to him, he would be abandoned by his tutor. It's better to give him his point first then reported it to his tutor to take revenge for him.
Alex also heard 'Inner' in his words, that means, his backing is an Inner Disciple. He would just trouble Himura Minami after he participated in the Battle Tower. Giving her one or two pills should be enough to pay her back for that.
Tata transfer his points to Alex. In the transfer process, Alex used his Spirit Eyes to see what happen but didn't see anything. He saw his points increased three hundred points. He looked at Tata coldly. "Only 330?"
"That's all I have. Look!" Tata showed him his card with a big zero on it. "I have given my points, so please let me go."
"I'm not like you who bully the weak. But since the weak want to bully me, I don't mind teaching them the 'bullying'. That is the price, if you come again, then the price would be higher." Alex coldly said. It was mean to threaten him, but he was sure that it wouldn't stop him.
After he got his points, he left, forgetting the man he knocked previously. Not long after, Alex saw the figure of the Battle Tower. It was like a big rectangular stone pillar. On the surface, Alex can see around a hundred doors on it divided by twenty floors.
The place is bustling with people. Alex searches for the one in charge. After he found him, Alex landed nearby. And to his surprise, there are two familiar figures caught his eyes. With their black hair fluttering, Their beauty is noticeable even in a crowd of people. One of them has a tiny figure, and the other one has a s.e.xy body.
"Ah! It's big brother Alex" The tiny one noticed him and approached him. Of course, the older one focused her eyes on him.
They are Evelyn and Lena, the two sisters from Thiveapia Kingdom. Before Alex say anything.
*Poof*
Like magic, a small white fox suddenly appeared above his head. With the uniqueness of her pinkish tip on her fur. It adds another layer of cuteness in her. Of course, for girls like Lena and Evelyn, they can't resist this.
"Wha! A cute fox" Evelyn eyes turned to stars.
Lena didn't say anything, but she is faster than her sister. She wanted to grab the fox on Alex's head before Sherry suddenly jumped forward.
She thought Sherry must appreciate her and want her hug. Sadly, the moment they almost hug, Sherry suddenly rolls around and kicks her head. Sherry has blown her away and leap back to Alex's head while pointing at Lena
"Wuu Wuu(I notice that girl didn't like you, so I beat her)" It seems that she is proud of it. Alex can only give a wry smile.
"A cute fox! Big brother Alex, is this fox yours? Evelyn asked
"Yeah, her name is Sherry." Said Alex while Sherry crosses her hand and nods her head in agreement.
"Can I touch her?" Evelyn timidly asked, but even that didn't hide her eagerness.
"Sherry?" Sherry isn't a pet for him but a partner. Of course, he will ask her first.
"Wuu" Sherry leaped from his head to Evelyn's head and patted her head a few times. Evelyn slowly raises her hands as she grabs her then, finally hugging her.
At that time, Lena came back. She was angry as expected. "Evelyn, give me that fox. I will teach that fox manners."
Of course, Sherry felt offended by that. She leaped out of Evelyn's embrace and tried to strike Lena with her small paw. This time, Lena has prepared herself from this attack. She also threw her fist at Sherry.
Because of the clash, Alex finally see Sherry's cultivation. She is currently at 4-Star Master Stage, the same as him. Sadly, Lena herself is at 6-Star Master Stage. Even though Sherry is a beast, she isn't in her big form. Of course, she would lose this clash. Lena blow Sherry away. And to make it more dramatic, Sherry looks like she is powerless. Not only she loses in her power, but she also leaped toward Alex dramatically.
"Wuu" She looks like a pitiful fox. "Wuu Wuu (Master, I was too powerless, I can't protect you from that witch)"
Alex makes a wry smile, not because of her words, but her hidden intention. He felt her real intention, if he not wrong, then her hidden intention was like this, 'Because of that, feed me more so I can get stronger.'
"Elder Sister! How can you bully Sherry!" Evelyn shouted. Alex was surprised by it, 'Don't tell me, in just an instant, Evelyn fall to Sherry's charm? And Sherry did this deliberately?'
Alex looked at the fox above his head, who noticed his gaze and disappeared, 'What a sly fox.'
(AN: Literally)
"Evelyn!" Lena was also shocked by it. She never thought her lovely sister talk back to her like that.
"Ahaha, It's better to stop now." Alex tried to stop them.
Evelyn stopped, she realized her mistakes. "I'm sorry, Elder Sister."
"I'm the wrong one. I shouldn't react that much"
"That's right. Big brother Alex, are you going to challenge the battle tower?" Evelyn asked
"Yeah"
"Then, I can guide you there. I was there a moment ago. Elder Sister and I challenge the ranking. Sister managed to reach rank 721st. While I can't even get any rank" She smiled brightly but become downcast when she said she couldn't get a rank. Lena proudly puffs her chest when she got rank 721. "Hmph, this is my first time entering Battle Tower. In my second chance, I can easily past the 500th mark.
"Is that alright with you? I would appreciate that, I don't know anything about battle tower after all." Alex accepted her offer after looking at her honest face. He thought it was rude to reject her.
"Un! Let's see. Big brother will be transported in a forest and fight many monsters. The monsters are from 1-Star Martial Master to 10-Star Martial Master. You will get one point if you kill a 1-Star Martial Master monster and ten points if you kill a 10-Star Martial Master." Explains Evelyn while walking toward Battle Tower.
"I see. But looking at the tower, there are many rooms, are they linked with each other? I mean, will we meet other people from other rooms?"
"You didn't know about this? This great Lena will explain it to you." Lena said proudly.
"No. Even though they are side by side, each room is isolated, so big brother won't meet any other. This is the famous 'Battle Simulation Room' of Heavenly Sword Sect. Practicing in a fight help simulate our progress. And every monster you kill will make the energy inside the room higher. That way, after you were killed or give up inside the room. You can absorb the energy inside the room and boost your cultivation." Without waiting for Lena, Evelyn has explained all of them to Alex. Of course, Alex listened to her instead of Lena.
"I see" Alex pondered for a moment. He thought a plan but didn't know if he can succeed. Lena was in shock this whole time. She was thinking where is her cute and obedient sister? Not only she has ignored her, she also took her 'job'. She didn't know why but she wanted to let out her tears at this moment.
Evelyn continue leading him to Battle Tower. Now that he looks at it from up close, the tower is really colossal. There are two big stele beside it. One of them is Outer Disciple Ranking, and the other is Inner Disciple Ranking. There are only a hundred names on each stele. But suddenly, at the bottom of the Outer Disciple Ranking glow.
'841st. Abimanyu Asheesh - 131 Points'
And the stele's display suddenly changed. If before the display was for 1-100th. Then this time, it is for 800-900th. The name of 'Abimanyu Asheesh' suddenly appeared in the position of 840th and pushed the other below him down.
'Oh, it is like a big Electronic Advertis.e.m.e.nt Board (Fantasy Version)'
Not long after, It changed back to the '1-100th' display. On the 100th, there is Mirko with 359 points. And the top is Emil with 572 Points.
"Big brother Alex, it was tough to fight those monsters continuously. Sometimes, the monsters group up to fight us, and sometimes they are alone. I searched for the one who is alone. I only get 52 points, but the energy made me advance to 2-Star Martial Master. But I still can't be compared with Big brother Alex's progress." Said Evelyn.
Lena suddenly looks at Alex and finally noticed his strength, she was surprised to see Alex become a 4-Star Martial Master. In only a month, Alex managed to become a 4-Star Martial Master from 2-Star Martial Master, how can she not be shocked by this? She grits her teeth, she will cultivate hard after this.
"Don't be like that. I'm just lucky enough. You have talent, Evelyn. So don't beat yourself too hard" Alex comfort her.
"Un!"
"Then, I'm going first" Alex said.
"Yes. See you later big brother." Evelyn waves her hand.
"Are you going to wait?" Alex asked.
"Un! I'm curious about big brother's result" Evelyn nodded earnestly.
"Ahaha, you don't need to wait for me." Said Alex with a wry smile.
"We just want to compare our result with you." Lena said. From the look of it, She seems curious too.
Alex sighed helplessly as he went to the elder in charge of the register. The elder didn't say anything. He only sticks out his hand. "Your token."
After giving his token, the elder remove 300 points from his token. His point down to 934 from 1234 points. The elder said, "Room 32. It will end after a day or if you are killed. Any other question?"
Alex shook his head and took his token back. He searched for his room and leaped to his room since the door was open. He closed the door and scanned the room.
It was only an empty room. But he can feel a trace of an Array. He just needs to use his Spiritual Energy to activate it.
"System, can this place be spied?"
[No! This tower not only supported by illusion arrays but also concealment array. It should be safe for you, Host.]
Alex's eyes brightened.
"Sherry, come out."
"Summon"
Anna and Sherry appear in front of him. "We will farm some EXP here. Hopefully, Anna can level up once more inside. Sherry, I will make 50 Fire Spirit Pills for you after this"
"Yes, Young Master" Anna nodded while Sherry seems very enthusiastic in this after she heard 50 Fire Spirit Pills. "Wuu!"
"Sure. Let's go" Alex released his Spiritual Energy to activate the array, and they went inside the array.
(AN: I almost made him say 'Link Start', if you know what I mean lol)
