Gacha Sovereign Chapter 467: Spirit Step

Chapter 467: Spirit Step

467 Spirit Step

Alex boarded the ship nonchalantly. It seemed that to get the ticket on the ship, they needed to have the pass first.
The ship and the crews were forced to make sure no one was able to sneak inside the ship without a pass. Not long before they set off, a few Nagas came to the ship to ensure all of them had a pass.
The Nagas were half fish and half snake. However, Alex could see a few Nagas had human, elf, or any other races for the top. He thought they must be half breed, albeit he could not imagine how they reproduced though.
Luckily, they were not really that arrogant or something. They were humble and polite while asking for his pass. After Alex showed him the pass, they nodded and left to check the other passengers.
The princess was coming to his room a few times, but Alex stopped her in front of his door. He talked with her in front of the door until she left.
His room was the same as the princess's room. Both of them were the highest class room on this ship and it was spacious. That was why to end his boredom, he practiced his Spirit Step. This whole time, he did not know why, but he could not master even the first step. It was like he was missing something.
Every time he stepped in, he did not get any strength boost even though he had done it according to the manual.
The manual said he needed at least a Martial King to qualify to use this technique. However, Alex still could not hold a grasp in this technique no matter how hard he tried.
He lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He muttered, "What should I do now? The requirement is Martial King. I first thought it was related to the Soul, so I tried to utilize my soul in my step, but it failed again. I wonder…"
Alex sighed as he went deep into his consciousness. He was wondering since he could control his soul, he might be able to train with his soul. This way, if he was too tired physically, he could train with his soul.
After reaching 2-Star Martial King, his soul had grown taller. It was 50 cm kid before, but it had become a 60 cm kid. Even so, it still looked like a kid.
He then tried to step forward and swung his hand.
"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon."
His soul could still use the Phoenix in this place. After confirming this fact, he tried to use Spirit Step once again, not hoping for anything. He was already disappointed about the Martial Art because he failed again and again without any clue.
Unexpectedly, when he stepped on the cloud with his Spirit Step, the whole world trembled. Alex was bewildered upon this point and activated his Spirit Eyes.
It was at this time he saw a surge of energy coming from all sides to this little body. The energy continued to fill him until at the point he choked.
"Ah!" Before he knew it, he already came back to his real body, rising from his bed. Alex looked left and right, wondering what just happened. But he suddenly noticed that his body was full of energy. In fact, it was too full of the energy that even made him out of breath.
"Alex?" A small voice was heard from his right. It was Anya's voice. She had been summoned here after he got rid of all the array inside their place and returned the key as they were not planning to go back there. She was currently taking care of him while making plans for Anna and the others.
Alex had yet to notice her. He was busy checking his body that was filled with energy. He muttered, "This… I just used Spirit Step with my soul? Don't tell me, the reason why I can't use the Spirit Step this whole time is because I used it with my real body. This is truly ridiculous.
"From my observation, the soul will use the Spirit Step. At that time, my body… specifically, my heart would pump out to suck out more energy around my body. I see… so that is what the manual means by the growth of the body, the strength surge will also become stronger.
"In other words, as long as my soul keeps growing, I can exert more and more power until I reach the limit like my Sky Movement. Even with that tiny body, I feel I can exert around 60 dragon strength, which means I get an additional 20 dragon strength. With this, my strength alone is equal to 6-Star. I can do much more than this." Alex pumped his fists, feeling happy with this.
"Alex? Did something good happen?" Anya came closer and asked him with a gentle expression after seeing his smiling face.
"That's right. This is really good!" Alex instinctively hugged her and kissed her on the lips before realizing what he had done. He put down Anya as the awkwardness filled the atmosphere. "Uh… sorry."
Anya was surprised by the kiss, but she was more surprised by the fact his habit did not change. When Alex had received something good, he usually released it to the nearby people.
Even in the previous life, Alex sometimes did something like this to a palace girl, who made her fall in love with him or treated someone like a brother if it was a male. Of course, after that, he realized and compensated them for the misunderstanding.
This was also the reason why the system kept making flaws after giving him something good. Lin Xingzhi did not want him to do that to a stranger.
On the contrary, Anya finally snapped back to reality as she could not control her emotion anymore. She immediately pushed Alex down to the bed and kissed him. Alex was taken aback by this action. Even her tongue managed to get inside his mouth.
It lasted for two seconds before Alex finally realized and grasped Anya's head.
"Gah! It hurts." Anya stopped the kiss and pulled back.
"I'm sorry." Alex apologized as he released her head.
"Fufu… I am satisfied even with this alone. We can do more later, but you will be the one who pushes me down. I am ready whenever you are ready, whether it will be months or years from now." She made a big smile.
"Mhm…" Alex nodded. He wanted to say something to her, but he heard someone banging his door.
*Bang Bang!*
"Sir Supreme, are you alright?" Judging from the voice and the way she talked, it was Shelka. It seemed she realized something happened inside his room, so she immediately tried to check him.
However, when she heard the sound of a woman inside his bedroom saying, "It hurts." She misunderstood while raging inside. She thought Alex rented a virgin prostitute to satisfy his demand.
She wanted that whore to understand her place and took this chance to give her virginity to Alex as a replacement.
"Is there a woman in your room?"
"Who is she?"
Alex frowned as he took out Anya's card. Anya also nodded as she understood his intention and came back to the card. Meanwhile, Alex opened the door and came outside.
"Sir Supreme, are you alright? Why are you hiring a prostitute, if you want someone to satiate your lust, you can always use me." She immediately tried to hug him the moment he opened the door.
Alex immediately closed the door again, slamming Shelka's head.
"Gah!"
After that, he finally came out. "There is no one inside my room. You must be imagining something."
She glanced and tried to spread her spiritual energy inside his room, but still did not find someone. She muttered, "Impossible."
Shelka tried a few times but found no one. Because of this, Alex looked at her with cold eyes. "If you are done, then you can go back. I will be resting in my room."
"If you need someone, you can always take me. I am ready to give you my virginity. I believe you are the Supreme in the prophecy, so I shall assist you in your journey with my soul and body." She said dramatically.
Even so, Alex's expression did not change. He only came back inside his room. Shelka thought he was giving her the opportunity to do this, so she smiled and walked toward his room, but Alex suddenly slammed the door again, not giving her the chance to come and said. "No need."
She wanted to bang the door, but Alex continued. "As I said, we are equal. You can't do something I don't want, especially if it concerns my private life. If you don't like it, you are free to go back. Of course, the pass is still mine according to the promise."
She was shot by Alex's ruthless actions and cold words. She dejectedly came back to her room while gritting her teeth.
Inside her room, she immediately mas- Ahem, relieved her stress.
Meanwhile, Alex summoned Anya again and sighed. Looking at this, Anya said, "That girl is annoying. I can relate that she is similar to me, considering how she thinks and such. However, that girl reeks of a strange smell. She must have a screw loose on her heads or something. I can notice it by looking at her behavior.
"She is trying to approach you because she has some sort of intention. It is not coming from someone else. We really need to be careful against that woman as she is a double-edged sword. At a certain point, she might leave you if she is bored with you. Just look at her eyes, it is filled with lust.
"If she is forced by her family, she must not have eyes like that unless she drank some kind of love potion or aphrodisiac. Anyway, I think you need to make a certain distance from her." Anya explained her observation honestly.
Alex nodded. "Don't worry. This is only a partnership between me and the Elven Race. That is nothing between me and her. After all of this end, I will just leave and not associate with her again. I certainly don't want to keep someone that will backstab me as my friend or family even if they have Pure Element. If she tries to harm me in the future, I will surely cut her down even if it means we go to war against the Elven Race."
Alex was completely serious about this. Without Anna telling him, Alex also had some sort of rejection for this princess. Although he did not know what it was, it kept repelling him from her even at their first meeting.
With Anya saying about lustful eyes, he was perplexed at first, considering he never met someone who had those eyes up close. Anya smiled. "Don't worry. Even if it means abandoning all our progress in the Northern Continent, we will always aid you even if the whole world becomes our enemy. Just remember this, you are a greater man than you think you are."
Alex did not know what she meant, but he nodded his head.
He then started his training again to make sure he had mastered the Spirit Step completely, albeit only the first step as the second step required him to reach Martial Emperor.
It took him a whole month to arrive on another continent. Alex could feel that his fire was tingling. He recalled the man with dragon and phoenix wings on his back. He thought it might be related to it, so he shook that feeling from his heart. He recalled Anya to the card and came out of his room.
Shelka immediately appeared in front of his room the moment they arrived to welcome him.
"Good Morning, sir Supreme. We have arrived on the continent where the phoenixes live, Phoenix Nest. Please follow me. I will guide you outside."
