Gacha Sovereign
chapter-196

After refining all of the ingredients he had, Sherry went to her slumber to digest the first five pills. Alex told Anna to give her the pills only five each time Sherry woke up. And finally left all the pills to Anna's custody.

Alex then made two Gathering Arrays, one for him and one for Sherry if she had finished all the pills he gave. He can just run this array with Spirit Stones.

Alex will need to wait for a long time before he can start learning the rank 3 pills inside his Simulation Room. He needs to be at least 7-Star Martial Master before he can make the Rank 3 Simulation Room, which can contain all of those rank 3 materials.

After he prepared all the rooms for its own purpose, Alex was planning to master his Pentagram Slash, Omnislash, Silver Raven, and Bear Sovereign. Before he started consolidating his cultivation, there was another thing he needs to do.

He opened the system and checked his current tickets situation.

[Gacha Ticket x14]

[Premium Ticket x0]

[Dart x0]

[Summoning Ticket x5]

[Summoning Coin x51]

At first, he was surprised by how easy it was to get the Summoning Coin. Still, considering he spent almost five hundred Gacha Tickets, it was understandable. The Normal Summoning was similar to the case of Special Summoning. There were two options he can choose which [Summon x1] and [Summon x10+1]

Since Alex had 51 Summoning Coins, he chose five times [Summon x10+1] and didn't use the last coin. He would get 55 Spirits with only fifty Summoning Coins, so it was worth it.

[Exp Card (R)

Stallion (C)

Treant (UC)

Minotaur (UC)

Fire Leopard (R)]

Alex got many new Spirits, surprisingly he got 21 new spirits. And he also got 8 of the same card with the new spirits or with the old spirits such as Stallion and Minotaur. The rest 26 cards were only EXP cards, but Alex very grateful to the EXP cards. He got 6 Rare EXP cards, 9 Uncommon EXP cards, and the rest were Common Exp Card.

Alex was grateful because Rare EXP card will give him a hundred thousand EXPs, which can raise a Spirit from level 1 to level 12 with half of the EXP bar full. Uncommon EXP card will give the Spirit ten thousand EXPs, and as for the common EXP card, which only gave him a thousand EXPs, it wasn't that useful. As expected of common rank item.

Alex got three rare ranked Spirits. Judging from the situation, the common and uncommon Spirits wasn't that useful, so he didn't have any plan to use them for the time being. As for the new three rare ranked spirits. He would leave them as it is, he will have them leveled up if the opportunity arose.

Alex used all of the Uncommon EXP cards and one Rare EXP card on Anna. All those EXPs made Anna reached the same level as Leoz. Although their EXP bars were not the same, at least he can ask Leoz to kill a few more monsters until Anna leveled up. This way, Alex will have a Grandmaster Stage spy and a Grandmaster Stage bodyguard. As for the last five rare EXP cards, Alex didn't have any plan to use it for the time being. He was thinking if Leoz in a dangerous situation when he was gathering information. He can use these five EXP cards to raise his level by four. Since judging from the previous situation, the EXP needed for level up was ten thousand more of the prior level.

Alex finally finished all the jobs he needs to do at the moment. Then, he started consolidating his cultivation. Because of the denser Spiritual Energy in the house, he had some leeway to put a time to master all of his Martial Arts. If he was in the Himura Minami's house, he would really need a full six months to consolidate his cultivation.

In the first month, Leoz managed to reach level 21 and finally reached the Grandmaster Stage. Alex asked him to push Anna to level 21 first before he started his mission. Leoz agreed to it, and in a span of another three days, Anna finally level up to 21. Leoz then finally made his way toward Thiveapia Kingdom. Alex also had mastered 'Pentagram Slash' and 'Omnislash'.

In the second month, Song Yu asked him a few questions about the Sword Arts. Song Yu stayed at his house for two days. Of course, he recalled Anna at that time since she might notice Anna with her exceptional hearing. And ultimately, Alex mastered the Silver Raven in his second month.

Leoz had started his mission. Except for the general situation such as Thiveapia Kingdom had 101 Cities/Towns, he only found there were seven prominent families that help the Thiveapia Kingdom's royal family. They were situated in the Capital City. As for the cities/towns in their control, all of them were controlled by a city lord. The situation was closed to the Limewatch town. A Martial Lord as the city lord to control the city. Alex asked him to find the strength of each family, including the royal family, if possible.

Leoz had warned him about him being not a good spy. So, the progress was a bit slow, but Alex didn't mind all that. After all, he only laid back in peace in the sect. In fact, Alex felt about it to Leoz.

In the third month, Charya suddenly came down. She realized that she didn't have any progress in Seven Stars Cut. Song Yu managed to use the true Seven Stars Cut even though she only managed to fuse two layers. Charya exchanged her Sun Beam for the guidance of Alex in Seven Stars Cut. Charya stayed in Alex's house for a week.

After she found out that she also can use the Seven Stars Cut, She said to Alex, she wanted to report this to the Sect Master. Alex didn't really mind about it, though. Now that he had the ninth elder as his backer, along with Song Yu and Putri, who also occasionally visited him to check on his progress. He didn't fear if others know about the truth. At first, he didn't want anyone to know about it because he didn't have enough background. Although the sect master was wary about his mysterious master, if the other elders also heard about it. They might use another method toward him and forced him to spit the secret. He was that unsure when he was in Himura Minami's house.

In the fourth month, Alex finally managed to master the Bear Sovereign, it was really hard to master the Bear Sovereign. It took him two months just to master it. But if others knew about this, they would be astounded and branded him as a monster. This month, there were many things happen.

First, Putri suddenly wanted to visit him. He was shocked when Putri said his Himura Friend changed his name to Simon. She also said, he had reached 4-Star Martial Master Stage, almost 5-Star. It seemed he changed because he realized his own mistakes and attitude toward you. From the look of it, he wanted to prove himself, he can repay Alex. Alex was surprised about it, but he also smiled and gratified from the news. There was only one thing to complain about it, he should not change his name or at least change it with another Japanese name. 'Simon' didn't fit as a Japanese Samurai.

The Second thing was the Ninth Elder, Charya, came again to him. She said the sect master wanted to reward him for the Seven Stars Cut. According to her words, Charya had taught the Sect Master about the true Seven Stars Cut. Of course, Alex had given his permission about this. After using a month to check it, the sect master wanted to reward him.

Alex had too many rank 2 swords and spears at the moment. He also had the Energy Pill from Su Hua, which can raise his cultivation by one level. As for the rest of Rank 2 Pills, he can make it himself. And finally, the Sect Master granted him a rank 4 sword. Although, the reward was meager. He also promised to protect him and decided to tell the others about that and about the Seven Stars Cut in Outer Disciple Ranking Tournament, where all the people gathered.

There was a hidden intention on that too. That means, Alex in the tournament, can't have a weak result. If Alex had a bad result, others would laugh at him. To think the one who managed to comprehend the true Seven Stars Cut was weak. Maybe the rumor about him having a high comprehension but weak cultivation will spread. They won't look about him being a new disciple. After all, that was how high the expectation of a genius. Of course, Alex wouldn't hold back in that tournament, as he decided to do that.

The last thing, he was surprised to see Evelyn and Lena suddenly visited him. They were brought by their older brother to the ninth peak. After meeting with Song Yu, he decided to go home as Song Yu brought Evelyn and Lena to Alex. He was surprised to see Evelyn managed to send her Sword Intent flying. She used all of her time to progress in her sword, resulting in her cultivation stagnated in 2-Star Martial Master. But, her Sword Intent progressed by leaps and bounds. With just four months, she managed to reach this level.

Even though she was able to send her Sword Intent flying, it was only barely. It wasn't enough to use the Seven Stars Cut. There was also a rumor about Seven Stars Cut. The sect master spread the rumor about the true Seven Stars Cut will appear in the Outer Disciple Ranking, this bewildered everyone in the sect. The other elders also asked the sect master about it. Still, he was adamant about keeping it quiet and made them wait until the tournament. He also promised he would open a special class to let the disciples or even elders to learn about it. The sect master would personally teach them for that.

Alex clicked his tongue, its purpose was to raise pressure for Alex. He asked Evelyn if she wanted to stay in his house for a while. Since Alex had promised her to teach her about Seven Stars Cut. He decided to train her Sword Intent a bit more before teaching her about the Seven Stars Cut. Evelyn obviously agreed to it, Lena obviously rejected the idea about her sister, staying in a man's house. But to her surprise, Putri and Song Yu didn't mind about it. Knowing about his personality these few months, they had known what kind of person Alex was. So they didn't mind.

Finally, Lena also decided to stay to look after Evelyn. She needs to keep her sister out of this wolf's claw. After all, Alex was still a 5-Star Martial Master. He hadn't made any progress after their meeting in front of the Battle Tower. Lena reached 7-Star Martial Master at these few months. She would likely reach 8-Star Martial Master if not 9-Star before the tournament began.

Lena saw Evelyn's progress after Alex taught her. She was surprised by the speed. After Alex started teaching her, her progress was like a monster. In a few days, she can easily make her Sword Intent fly. Because of her pride, she can't ask him to teach her too. She decided to go back to her house to train harder so Alex's won't surpass her. She also had confirmed the rumor, Alex was really the person in the rumor. He had comprehended the true Seven Stars Cut.

Luckily, Sherry was in her sleep while cultivating. Sherry had reached 7-Star Master Stage. She would pick a fight with Lena if she were awake.

In the fifth month, Charya asked him to do a mission with Putri. She believed Alex could complete a high rank mission with Putri, judging from his prowess alone. After Alex taught her about the Seven Stars Cut, she realized, Alex hadn't used all of his strength in their fight. Alex said that he needs some time to consolidate his foundation. After that, Charya only said he would take a mission with Putri a few months later, it was better after he reached 7-Star Martial Master. Alex was fine with it. If he had a cultivation of 7-Star Martial Master, he should be able to fight a Grandmaster. So, Charya must want him and Putri to take a Grandmaster Stage Quest.

In this month, Eveleny also managed to use the Seven Stars Cut, albeit it was only a fluke. Ultimately, Alex managed to master Charya's Sun Beam.

The last month, in the first week, Alex finally consolidated his cultivation. He then used his Gathering Array every night to cultivate so he can catch up with his cultivation. Evelyn finally managed to get used to fusing two layers of Seven Stars Cut. Alex said it was fine if she wanted to teach her sister, Lena, or her brother. But it seemed her brother wasn't a sword user, so she said she would only teach Lena. She was very thankful to Alex. She said she would help him if he needs her power. She would ask her father, the king, if required.

After that, she left Alex's house. She was planning to catch up for her cultivation after this. Alex nodded and saw her off. Then, Alex told Putri about his current farming. Since they were planning to do a mission together as per Charya's order. They decided to do it in another three months. He was planning to raise money again for cultivation. In the fifth month, Sherry had finished her Fire Spirit Pills, and Alex was forced to use his Spirit Stones. His pocket was almost empty now. Suddenly, a thought comes to his mind, there was one person he can ask for Spirit Stones.
