Gacha Sovereign
chapter-443

A few days later, Rose was lying on the ground, tired after Alex's training.

There was a time when she wondered whether she regretted becoming Alex's disciple or not, but she always chose not. It was because she had seen Alex also underwent the same amount of training.

Alex had many things to do within this year, so he asked Anya to observe Rose's progress. Meanwhile, He only sorted his knowledge about Fire and Space as they were important to him and would continue sorting the other elements later.

He had two new Fire Elements Arts called, Flame of Extinction and Fire Wave Emission.

Flame of Extinction was a High Heaven Tier Fire Art. It shot a laser that was capable of piercing through anything because of the intense heat. It was even far more terrifying with Alex's Pure Fire.

As for his Fire Wave Emission, Alex could make a wave or spiral of fire that could be controlled by his thoughts. This technique was only a Mid Heaven Tier Fire Art, but Alex was going to learn this technique because he wanted a binding technique. Since he usually used Array to bind his opponent, he thought it would be better to have a binding technique with his fire only. This way, he had two binding techniques and could reveal one of them easily.

Rose could feel the intense heat even though Alex had made a distance with her and was wondering what kind of training he got. However, what she knew was sometimes Alex did not come back in two days because of the training, so she could somehow picture how intense Alex training was. That was why she did not complain and continued to practice.

Unlike Alex, who practiced in the lower world, she got a good environment in this sect that was filled with Spiritual Energy. She progressed by leaps and bounds to the point she was scared by her own progress.

After all, with just three months of training, She almost reached Martial Master. Alex also had asked a few Martial Grandmasters disciples to teach Rose with her bow. He did not know why, but they all ended up scared and left not long after.

At first, they agreed to it because not only Alex gave a huge amount of compensation, they could meet the famous Alexander Sirius. Unexpectedly, when they taught Rose about Bow, Rose would always understand and was able to replicate them. It could be said that her foundation about the bow was rock-solid after all the training from those disciples. Of course, this was thanks to Alex's Bow Mastery.

Charya often dropped by to check and complained about the disciples that were complaining about how monstrous Rose was. Ultimately, she just concluded it was normal to have a Monstrous disciple considering her master was far more monstrous than her.

On the contrary, Evelyn felt challenged by Rose's existence. People only knew about her being the monstrous disciple under Alexander Sirius, but because of Rose, the people started forgetting her existence.

Because of that, she often came to her, trying to make her understand her place by saying how great she was. Of course, Anya always teased her and ended up making her train together with Rose.

Just right before Rose's first tribulation, Alex came to her and said, "After you reach Martial Master, you need to stop your progress every five stars. In other words, in 5-Star and 10-Star, you need to stop your progress with Spirit Stones. Instead, you are going to train with your Cultivation Manual completely."

Rose did not understand his teaching, but she nodded and took it as important. After these three months, she knew about Alex's identity bit by bit. She was astonished when she learned Alex was a Martial King and a hero of Willow Continent. Unknowingly, Alex's deeds became her favorite stories.

In the meantime, Alex was completely focused on his Fire Element and Space Element. Although he had understood the basics of his new Fire Elements within two months, he kept practicing it to master it. After all, it was not like a Sword Art or Spear Art, where he could rely on his Mastery. Alex could only rely on his observation and hard work to master the Element Arts.

As for his Space Element, Alex chose to master his Spatial Gate and Space Plate as both of them were a versatile technique. He also practiced his Realm Seal Technique. This allowed him to cross over the world and went back to the lower world. After Alicia and Firia found out about this, they wrote letters to their own family, telling them they are alright. Alex had to get it with his Gacha Tickets.

Of course, it did not mean Alex would waste time by doing that. He just wanted to visit them for a couple of days before going back, so it was not a big deal.

As for the continent, they were in turmoils. After knowing Alex had become a Martial King, they immediately sent a big gift to him, together with women. The women were practically the daughters or granddaughters from the higher up of their respective influences. He even saw Luna, the second princess of the Thiveapia Kingdom, on the list.

Alex immediately turned all them down since he did not need any women or gifts, and no one dared to voice their opinion, afraid of becoming the second Zhou Kingdom. Ultimately, they were relieved when they knew Alex did not want anything from them, nor they had any thoughts about them. He just wanted to stay for a while before going to the Northern Continent.

At one time, he thought, why did he not give Nelson the weapons he got from the systems, Zwaka's place, and the Martial Arts and Element Arts. He did not care whether the price there plummeted or not. Ultimately, he sighed and threw away that thought.

After another month, Rose finally underwent her first lightning tribulation. She felt a bit nervous as she never experienced this, but Alex thought it would be a normal tribulation. Unexpectedly, much less both of their expectations, it turned out Rose managed to pass her tribulation very easily.

There were a few reasons for that. The first reason was that Alex had overestimated the lightning tribulation because of his absurd lightning tribulation. He also had not seen any normal Lightning Tribulation. So, his training was based on that Lightning Tribulation, and it turned out Rose became a bit overpowered.

Secondly, Rose already grasped Bow Intent. She should be able to send her intent flying within a few months. Because of this, the reputation of Evelyn slowly replaced her own reputation.

Lastly, her lightning element was already awakened, and Charya had taught her a few things. Alex wanted to give Lightning Technique to her, but he had yet to sort the Element Arts other than Fire and Space, so he thought it would be for later.

Rose was very grateful to her Master, Alex. Not only could she live like this, but she could also picture the scene where she finally finished the business with Suzen Kantan and avenge her parents.

And when she reached Martial Master, Alex finally made a requirement for her. Rose needed to finish ten missions before she became a Martial Grandmaster alone. She needed at least two herbs searching missions, two monsters subjugation missions, two scouting missions, and two bandit subjugation missions.

Alex wanted to train her observation by having the herbs searching missions. If she entered a new kind of terrain and such, she would be unfamiliar with the ground nearby, and her sight of vision would be limited. He wanted her to have a cool head that could think at any time and not miss any important details.

He wanted to train her prowess by killing many monsters in the subjugation missions. Of course, he was a bit merciless with this as he assigned her with monsters that were two or three stars above her level. This way, he could train her strategist ability by coming up plan after plan to subjugate monsters that were above her.

Thirdly, she needed to improve her scouting skill and information gathering skills. It was a very powerful ability. He even called Ngina to teach her the basics of espionage. Of course, Alex also listened to this.

Lastly, Alex wanted her to experience killing humans. After all, it was useless if she could not kill humans. This also could train her thought process as what she dealt with was a creature that had intelligence and was capable of making plans. He wanted to teach her how to outsmart her opponent.

He did not teach Evelyn any of these since he thought there was no need to. After all, Evelyn had a kingdom as her backing, and she could use manpower as much as she needed. As for Rose, she lacked that as Alex bounded to go to another continent and left her here. So, he taught her to be independent. Of course, he did not forget to teach her how to become a careful person.

Rose accepted his missions with pleasure. All in all, she would not have any missions before she reached 6-Star Martial Master.

Charya was a bit skeptical about this as she was a bit worried since Rose was too small. Alex said it was fine since even though she was alone, Alex made Njomo stay inside her shadow. Njomo was almost a Martial King Beast, so it should be a problem.

On the other hand, Alex decided to wait for Sherry and Kyle to wake up before giving them the Fire Dragon Saint Heart.

Another three months passed.

Alex was practicing his Alchemist Skill and Array Ability. Since he had learned most of the necessity of Array, he only learned two arrays: Fire Mirror Array and rank 5 Teleportation Array. The Fire Mirror Array was like its name, it was like a ring made of fire, and its purpose was to strengthen his Fire Element. He thought this array could increase the power of His Flame of Extinction. As for the Rank 5 Teleportation Array, he simply needed it.

As for the Alchemist Pill, he had a few pills on his list. There were Giant Strength Pill, Soul Reinforcing Pill, Soul Protection Pill, Wondrous Healing Pill, and Anti Poison Pill.

These past few months, Alex also asked about the market. It seemed that the Soul Protection Pill, Wondrous Healing Pill, and Anti Poison Pill were a common commodity. This was because all Martial Kings had condensed a soul inside their bodies.

Much less of its name, Soul Protection Pill, was a pill to heal an internal injury as well as a soul for a little bit. This commodity was hot, but not really pricey since the soul healing effect itself was not that great. They usually needed many pills just to heal it.

As for Wondrous Healing Pill and Anti Poison Pill, it was already a common item for cultivation even from this continent. Alex just never needed it, so he did not really care. Wondrous Healing Pill could heal External and Internal wounds, except the soul. It seemed that the Soul Protection Pill would become more effective after they treated the External and Internal wounds.

It was the same for Anti Poison Pill. It could detoxify a rank 5 poison or lower easily. He did not need to care about his body being poisoned since he had Pure Fire Element, but it was still unknown whether his soul could be poisoned or not. The system answered he might, so he decided to learn this pill.

The other two were Soul Reinforcing Pill, which was useful to nurture his soul. The second pill was Giant Strength Pill that could give him ten dragon strength upon consumption. Unlike the Giant Strength Pill that he could only eat one pill, the Soul Reinforcing Pill was the normal commodity here. The effect was the same as a Pill that could help cultivation, but for the soul. It could be consumed without limit to nurture his soul faster.

He could train all of them except Soul Protection Pill because he did not have the ingredients and Giant Strength Pill because it was a high 5th rank pill, and he did not have enough strength to make that.

He also could not make Soul Reinforcing Pill in large quantities since he did not have that many ingredients. All that he had was from the system Gacha, so he decided to master it first.

After finishing his training, it was time to...
