As the two were talking, Alex decided to not start killing first and tried to go toward the border of this forest to see the edge and understand. However, at this point, he remembered the fact that he could go to the third test by using the Teleportation Array that seemed to be connected to each other. In other words, he could just use it and teleport to either the third test or the town. Because of that, he changed his strategy and started killing at a random area, especially where he found a group of magical beasts. The first target was a kind of wolf pack consisting of a hundred 6-Star Martial Monarchs with 9-Star Martial Monarch as their leader. *Howl!* Alex's expression turned serious as he checked his surroundings to see if there were monsters that moved due to that howl. Unfortunately, none of them went toward him. "Such a shame. I can kill them too… Anyway, it will give me ten thousand points if I only eliminate this group…" Alex narrowed his eyes. "It's so easy to get the amount to buy those items back in the town. Well, for a normal disciple, they might need to band together… At least, a group of ten to clear this area, so they will only get one thousand each. That's why my strength is so unbalanced in this process, not that I complain about it." Alex smirked and jumped toward the wolves that were charging at him. "This is the first time I use it, but I really want to try it." Alex raised his sword and channeled a portion of his power, so he only used ten percent of the real technique power before slashing his sword horizontally. "One sword Kill, Blade of Extinction." "!!!" The wolves' instinct immediately rang in their head, telling them to run away. However, Alex already gathered enough energy and released a Sword Wave, cutting twenty wolves in a single slash. <div><div style="text-align:center"></div></div>"Hmm?!" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "This… Although I am only using Spiritual Energy and only use ten percent of its real power, this power has around a quarter of my Mythical Fire Slash. Seriously?" Alex just couldn't believe that this technique was stronger than the fusion of his original sword technique and spear technique. However, considering that this sword skill was a bonafide Divine Sword Art, it could be said that his original techniques had been stretching that far to the point it reached not peak, but it should reach Mid Level Divine Technique. "Now that I have tested it, I shall finish the rest first." Alex smirked and started his killing spree. With his Divine Body, the pack didn't last even two minutes before all of them died under Alex's merciless sword. He then channeled the Spiritual Energy in his surrounding to activate the token as it absorbed a bit of energy from the monster core. After that, he saw his balance rose. 32100. "Hmm… It seems I am a bit too fast. The old man is different, but I think I can't really spend too much or else my cover will be blown away." Alex narrowed his eyes. "Probably two Divine Herbs are the best I can buy or the elders will put Aria under their watch completely. At that time, I will lose my cover." <div></div>"From what I know, Aria will probably buy a weapon for her brother and pills. If both of us can only buy two to avoid the suspicion, I think it's best to let her know that she can only buy two swords for herself and her brother. "As for her brother, the information alone will surely give him thirty thousand points even if it's depreciating sooner or later… Wait a minute, we can make him trade as well. Maybe fifty thousand points won't be too big for him. "I see…" Alex thought for a moment. "It should be fine to give him the token… And there is also a possibility of someone stealing tokens to buy some. Nonetheless, the elders will see that someone too. "I also need to consider the third test. Considering it is a reward where I can perceive a certain Sword Technique, I need to know whether it will blow my cover away. I will check it with my Spirit Eyes first later. In total, our group can only get around thirty hundred fifty thousand points. It is equal to three thousand and five hundred 6-Star to 10-Star Martial Monarch. "I will ask if that number is too big for our ability with Aria first. Still, if it's this easy to get points, I might have an excess of three to four days, so I will spend all the time cultivating in the Sword Cave to raise my qi level. <div></div>"Hmm? To generalize the idea, the Sword Qi is ranked from Rank 1 to Rank 8 like Alchemist with the Rank 9 called Divine Sword Qi. And because my Sword Qi is a Divine Sword Qi, my position will always be a Rank 9. The problem is the amount. According to Aria, the amount I possess is only equal to Rank 2. "Considering it will be harder and harder to raise the Sword Qi, I think it's better to gain enough qi to reach Rank 3's amount in the cave." Alex let out a long sigh because he had too many things he needed to consider at this point. He took a few more minutes to think it through before he went hunting. Of course, he didn't forget to burn all the corpses to make sure that no one knew that a single person annihilated these many monsters. Unlike the first big group, he didn't encounter a group of that size again for another ten hours, making him a bit bored to search for them. If not because of his Divine Body's heightened senses and Spirit Eyes, he couldn't find them this easily. However, Alex was an overpowered character in this test, and he had acc.u.mulated around one hundred thousand during the first ten hours. After another two hours, he sensed someone coming toward him. It was none other than Aria who seemed to be happy after everything that happened earlier. "Nyx. I am sorry for making you wait." She couldn't contain her smile at this point. "Did you scam a few people first before coming here?" Alex glanced at him with a teasing smile. "We were not scamming people. With the proof you have given us in the form of a memory crystal, no one can imitate our way of doing. Because we are cheaper, we were able to gain many customers while lying that the information can't be spread mouth to mouth, and that was the exact reason why we used a memory crystal for this instead. "The people buy it for now, and my brother has gotten three people to spend a total of ten thousand points for the information. I think he can hit seventy thousand before he can't do this anymore. And I have told him to increase his strength first inside the Sword Cave until the time is up before going to the third test and get the additional three days in the third test. "To think it's this easy to earn points, I have never thought of such a thing." Aria panted after explaining everything excitedly. <div></div>"If you have a business in your mind, you should be able to think it through. At least, I need to hone this type of thinking because when I started cultivating, I could only depend on myself to fill my stomach." Alex shrugged. <div></div>"Ah…" Aria opened her mouth in surprise before looking down. She realized that even though she was blind, she had the full support of her father, so she could build up her strength and hone her talent. If what Alex said was true, he must have suffered greatly during his early days. And it might also be the reason why he could become a God Rank Expert this fast. He had been getting everything by wrestling his life away. Another kind of admiration just bloomed in her heart. "Anyway, here is the deal…" Alex began explaining the plan he thought earlier from start to finish. And when she saw Alex's points, she became completely speechless. They might be able to gain enough quota by tomorrow night, and she completely agreed by having her brother buy everything for himself except a Divine Rank Sword. A Divine Rank Weapon was something too expensive for their family to get, so they couldn't pass this chance. Alex didn't have an interest in getting them because the Divine Weapon was only a low-rank Divine Weapon, it was nothing compared to Dawn Breaker they met in the cave. After discussing their plan, they continued their hunt while Alex gave the opportunity for Aria to acc.u.mulate experience for her new sword dance. He also wanted to see the power of the energy that the sword spirit gave, but it seemed to have no function at the moment. It was such a shame, but Alex kept going until they finally met their quota within two days. Alex then decided to go back to the exit of the Sword Cave, where he met the same elder that had been waiting for them to return. Unfortunately, this time, only Aria returned while Alex tried to slip by using his Space Element to enter the Sword Cave. <div></div>Only after passing the old man did he finally make another gate and wait for Aria near the exit. Meanwhile, when Aria returned to the town, she was holding two tokens. One was her, and one was Alex's. As expected, Alex's token contained two hundred thousand while she only had one hundred and fifty thousand. According to Alex, this would certainly pique the interest of other elders, but she had prepared for it. After all, Alex would reveal his Space Element if he brought her inside the cave, so he didn't do it and instead asked her to do this. With the note Alex gave to her about the medicinal herbs that he wanted, she immediately went to the only shop in the town. And as she expected, no one came to this shop. The town itself almost had no people in it. Those in the towns were either beaten up by monsters and decided to recover here or those who were strong enough to gather enough points. "Excuse me, I would like to buy." Aria found an old clerk lazing around at the counter. <div></div>"Oh?! The first customer? Sure. What would you like to buy?" He nodded. "I want to buy that herb." She pointed at a blue herb in the drawer behind the clerk. "It's fifty thousand points. So, are you going to use it to improve your cultivation or make it a pill?" "I am sorry, I can't really say it." Aria shook her head while handing the token to the clerk, but before he grabbed the token, A woman suddenly went inside the shop and shouted. "Wait… That herb, I want it!" <div></div>Aria glanced at them and stayed silent for a few seconds. Behind her were two men that seemed to help her. "What?! The thing this young lady wants will always arrive in this young lady's hand. If you don't want to let it go, you better watch out of this young lady in the sect." She looked at the masked Aria with contempt before fixing her blue hair. "…" Aria was speechless. This woman looked like an idiot and acted all mighty. She might be able to do that because her strength was 1-Star Martial Saint, while the two behind her were also the same. Compared to Aria's 9-Star Martial Monarch strength, she indeed wouldn't be able to fight them. However, she wasn't afraid because Alex would surely solve the issue inside the sect. Still, she saw too many problems ahead and remembered Alex's instruction. She looked at the shopkeeper, who seemed to be an elder too and nodded. "I don't want this anymore." "Hmph!" The lady looked at her mockingly as if looking at a poor and weak person. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure." She nodded. "I will buy different herbs." "Herbs?" The elder tilted his head. "Yes. I need two Divine Herbs. Green Blood Ganoderma and Fire Rafflesia." <div></div>"It's for one hundred and ten thousand points." "Here." She handed the token. <div></div>"Thank you for your purchase." "…"
