BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247: Princess
Chapter 247 Princess
Alex came out of his house. Putri said that she would wait for him in front of her house today. So, he didn\'t need to lit up the crystal to inform her. He could just directly come to her house.
Putri was also very shocked when she saw Alex\'s cultivation when she told him about the plan for Death Forest. She only broke through to 8-Star Martial Grandmaster this year. Hopefully, she could achieve 9-Star Martial Grandmaster before the Inner Disciple ranking tournament.
Then another year to reach 10-Star Martial Grandmaster. She might be able to win the Continent Grand Tournament for Martial Grandmaster with that.
Alex suddenly rose and became her rival in the next tournament. Well, she was happy to see her Junior Brother could do that. She was a bit disappointed in her progress, though.
When Alex arrived, he saw two women on the field. One of them had light green hair, which obviously Putri. And the other one had pink hair, her figure such as her three sizes and even height was close to Putri.
She wore a white one piece dress with pink embroidered flowers. Her cultivation was 9-Star Martial Grandmaster. But his gut told him there was something wrong with this person, though he didn\'t know it. She seemed very happy when chatting with Putri.
Putri noticed his presence and looked up. She called him in, and he landed.
"Senior Sister."
"Alex, let me introduce you, this is my friend Mega Indrajaja," Putri introduced her.
"Greetings, Third Princess," Alex tried for a safe greeting. Every person was different. He remembered Alicia was also considered as a princess. But when he greeted her like that, she said she didn\'t mind and demanded to call her by her name.
"I heard so much about you from Putri." Mega politely greeted him back. It seemed that she was a normal princess, he might need to call her princess. Well, it was not a big deal, so he didn\'t really mind. It was only a name.
She scanned him up and down but only found out that he was only a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster. She was disappointed. She heard from Putri that Alex could kill even 7-Star Martial Grandmaster pretty easily.
She thought that Alex would be useful for her. After looking at his cultivation stage, she immediately disappointed. Putri must have exaggerated his ability too much.
"Well, are you sure you are going with us to Death Forest? With your cultivation, I\'m afraid you will die."
Alex immediately frowned when he heard that.
"Mega." Putri immediately reminded Mega about her presence. Putri was afraid if Alex took this in his heart. Alex was only in his early twenties with his Flame, Sword Skill, and Array Master. If he grew, the kingdom might be in danger.
She was also his Senior Sister. They had gone through life and death together.
"I\'m just advising him out of goodwill," Mega just pointed out her intention.
"If Third Princess doesn\'t want to see me, then I am fine with it. I could go there alone." Alex said calmly. In fact, the moment he felt something wrong, he had expected something like this.
"Princess!" Putri shouted again but not with her title instead of her name. Putri was thinking about how to break this situation.
Mega looked at her expression and pouted. "Fine, you can go with us. But I don\'t want to be responsible for whatever happened inside. Even we might not be able to defend our life, much less you."
She took out a flying boat from her space ring. The shape was close to a tugboat, and five people could board it. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and saw the flow of energy. It seemed that the boat was powered by an array. She leaped toward the boat first and shouted, "Hurry up."
"Alex, sorry about this. Usually, she isn\'t like that." Putri said in an apologetic tone.
"It\'s alright." Alex comforted her. He only gave in a bit because she was Putri\'s friend. But, if she wanted to kill him or make trouble for him. She should expect that Alex wouldn\'t consider Putri\'s face anymore and take his revenge.
After entering the boat, the princess put her hand on the crystal in the middle of the ship. Alex used his Spirit Eyes to see everything in this boat.
She activated the crystal and put a few thousand Spirit Stones as fuel. Then the boat made a barrier to prevent the wind from coming toward them. After that, there was another Array at the back of the boat.
The boat started moving. Its speed was slow at first before increasing. The maximum boat speed was two times their speed. That might be the reason why Song Yu said they would arrive in three days.
"This boat price is twenty million Spirit Stones. Even the Southern Kingdom only has ten of them. It is your honor to board here. Just to go to Death Forest alone needs seven thousand Spirit Stones. You might not even be able to afford the consumption alone."
Putri became the middle-man again. Alex wasn\'t bothered by what she said. Instead, he was thinking about those twenty million. He could make those amounts within three or four months.
He only had Tempered Muscle Pill for his revenue. If he had a higher one such as Energy Pill with 10-Star Grandmaster Stage monster core as a base, he might get those twenty million even faster.
Not only that, if he could make rank 4 pills, it would become even faster. Alex didn\'t know whether the low rank 4 pills or peak rank 3 Energy Pill had a higher price, though.
Maybe he should buy this boat so that he could slap this princess. Well, she was Putri\'s friend, so he refrained from doing so. And this woman was not worth it for him to use twenty million just to slap her.
Alex just went to consolidate his cultivation.
Looking at Alex went to cultivate, Mega snorted, "Hmph, increasing your cultivation a bit won\'t do you any good."
"Mega." Putri started raising her voice. She didn\'t know why this friend of hers became like this. When she was with him, she always smiled and encouraged her. She was confused about this and didn\'t know who to choose, his Junior Brother or her friend. Of course, Putri didn\'t know about Alex\'s wealth.
Alex just plugged his ears so he won\'t be able to hear any words from her for a while. Luckily he was consolidating his cultivation. If Alex cultivated for real to increase his strength, then she might be shocked by the amount Alex needed to cultivate.
In just three days, Alex could absorb twenty Spirit Stones with the help of Gathering Array. If he didn\'t have a Gathering Array, the amount would still be over seven thousand, which she needed as fuel toward their destination.
Three days passed by, Alex finally opened his eyes. He would need more time to consolidate his cultivation.
Alex was on the edge of the boat while the princess was on the other edge. Putri tried to separate her as far as possible so she won\'t say something toward Alex again.
They arrived in a town called Umba. It was the closest town from Death Forest, and many cultivators stayed in this town around this time, waiting for Death Forest to open.
From the sky, Alex saw the Death Forest with his Spirit Eyes. He could see an invisible barrier. He could see the amount of energy inside those barriers. It was truly a ridiculous amount. From the look of it, it was a rank 6 barrier array that could make such a thing.
It seemed that this Martial Emperor was an Array Master. He also found something else that piqued his interest. He saw the color of Space Energy. He could understand it was a Space Energy was because he had seen his own Space Element.
But he didn\'t know what the use of this Space Energy in this barrier was. Maybe he could understand its use after he got inside, he thought. One thing he knew about this space energy, it prevented him from seeing what was inside the barrier, even with his Spirit Eyes. All he could see was just a blurry image.
The princess landed the boat near the town and walked toward the town. Alex followed them from behind. The town was brimming with people, he could see many signs of Martial Grandmaster. Of course, there were a few Martial Lords that seemed to be the one who protected the order of the town in a special time like this.
Putri came to him and said, "Alex, we will go to the inn first. I will go to your room later, so I could explain everything you need to know about this Death Forest."
Putri didn\'t mind coming to Alex\'s room even late at night. After all, she had trusted Alex about this. Considering his past action, she was sure that Alex wasn\'t a person like that.
Alex nodded to her with a smile. After that, Putri came back to Mega. They went to an inn called Sleeping Inn. It seemed that the princess had his subordinate to book this inn. When they entered the inn, she was welcomed by seven people. All of them had a cultivation of 9-Star or 10-Star Martial Grandmaster.
The princess seemed to have booked the whole inn. Alex activated his spirit eyes. Surprisingly, he found there was someone behind the wall, trying to hide.
"Princess, we have been waiting for you." The one who talked about it was a 10-Star Martial Grandmaster. He had black hair, and his face was somewhat handsome.
"Yes, thank you." Mega nodded her head.
"He is one of the captains of the princess guard for this event," Putri whispered his identity to Alex. Alex only nodded his head. He was more bothered by the person behind the wall that seemed to want to go out here but wait for the right time.
"Are you going to bring these people? I am fine with the girl since she is your friend, but the other one..." He hesitated since Alex was so weak in his eyes.
"Hmph, just bring him with us." She said with a little bit of annoyance.
Alex didn\'t say anything, but inside, he was saying to separate himself from this group. He also had his own group, which should be even stronger. If the situation pushed him to the wall, he could just use his Gacha Tickets to get some EXP cards.
After that, he could use it on Anna, Fabio, Nelson, and Greg and make them become a peak Grandmaster. He didn\'t consider Leoz as an option since he didn\'t know whether he could get inside. Even so, Fabio had the same strength as Leoz at the same level.
Anna might be useful for support, especially her Dark Curtain. He could combine it with his Spirit Eyes. Nelson was a good spy and assassin. According to his knowledge, he should be able to kill his enemy one by one. And Greg would be in charge of defense.
Although he never saw Greg\'s fighting style, judging from his status alone and that absurd defense. He could be assured that this Greg was a master of defense. He should be able to fight without worry about his defense if he put Greg\'s in charge of defense.
Sherry also had gotten stronger than before. She didn\'t only absorb the Spirit Stones these two months. She sometimes asked Anna for sparring. She wanted to raise her fighting power so she could help Alex. As for Kyle... he was a bit weak, so he might at least be able to distract the enemy with its overbearing fire.
With all of those friends beside him, Alex wouldn\'t need to be afraid inside the special realm. Especially from a group like the one in front.
"If you didn\'t bring him with us, then I will go with him," Putri said while glaring at the captain.
"Fine, we will bring him with us. But I need to test him fo-" Before finishing his words, he disappeared. He was planning to punch Alex to scare him away.
Alex didn\'t move because he could see another movement with his Spirit Eyes. That movement came from Putri. Putri grabbed the captain\'s fist and glared at him, "What do you want to do to my Junior Brother?"
"He is just testing him. He is worried that your Junior Brother will lose his life in the Death Forest." The man who hid this whole time finally made his appearance.
