BXBX NOVEL Chapter 550: Three Races
550 Three Races
"Let\'s go." Alex\'s group finally entered the trial.
Everyone looked at them attentively, not wanting to leave a single detail. They were surprised to see four of them suddenly enter the trial. Just like Lucia, they also predicted that only Alex would have the chance to enter. Seeing how mysterious Alex was, they prepared to see a certain surprise like two or three, but not four.
They never expected that Alex possessed four keys despite leaving only one or two according to the record. The urge to know Alex\'s secret increased as they glanced at the Spirit Nest.
Anna and the others just ignored them. Even the Blackwade Clan wouldn\'t know about this, let alone them.
The influence named Spirit Nest became more and more mysterious in their eyes. The Fire God Clan Patriarch even took a step back and thought if it was alright to bother the main clan for this. He had paid a considerable price and lost the trust of the main clan about this. Seeing how mysterious the Spirit Nest was, it would be better if they were out of the picture as soon as possible. He clenched his fists, being adamant to his thoughts.
He shook his head and decided to observe him from a little longer. Even if he brought the main clan here, they would still need at least a month to arrive, so there was no point in thinking it here… albeit, he found another reason to kill the Spirit Nest after looking at Sherry and Kyle.
Sherry was already a 7-Star Martial Emperor despite being so young. It looked like her body reflected her age rather than hiding her age. This would be scary as she might even become a Martial Monarch when she was still a teenager.
However, Kyle would still be the most dangerous one. Despite being a kid, he had the same cultivation as Sherry, 7-Star Martial Emperor. He wondered what kind of scary being he would become as soon as he entered teenage. Little did he know that Sherry had finally caught up with Kyle, and would slowly outgrow him.
Looking at them, at Alex, and at them again, the Patriarch sweatdropped, thinking he just made a good choice by bringing the main clan over. These two kids might even become precious talents in the main clan, let alone their Fire God Clan. He was happy because, with this contribution, they wouldn\'t let out any disappointment. Instead, they might even reward them.
Of course, what he could see meant the other could see it as well. They instantly pondered how to poach these people from the Spirit Nest no matter what they needed to sacrifice. Seeing the future of these two kids alone was already enough to incite their greed. If they couldn\'t get them, it would be better to kill them.
Unfortunately, they couldn\'t do a single thing to them right now since they had entered the trial.
As soon as Alex entered the first plank, the dormant energy inside the plank slowly entered his body. It tried to attack his body to lower his physical ability. Unfortunately, his body was far stronger than any other person who took the challenge.
It blocked the attack from the energy, making it change direction to his brain. He realized that after failing to attack the body, the energy lost almost its entire power, so when it entered his brain, Alex didn\'t even feel anything as the energy dissipated.
He turned around to check on the others. "How are you feeling?"
"Just a little poking here and there," Sherry replied.
"Yeah. I have the same feeling. However… I do feel a little bit comfortable inside this place." Kyle said with a bit of an unsure expression.
"!!!" This answer alone was enough to convince that his hypothesis earlier was correct.
"I have the same feeling. I don\'t know if this comfortable feeling is related to this place or not since we are still in the first plank." Stina nodded in agreement before glancing at the other planks.
"Sure. We can be more sure after gathering enough information. We will go slowly for now to gather information. Maybe, one hundred planks will be enough before we start picking up speed. We don\'t want the others to wait for too long anyway." Alex smiled and turned around.
He stepped onto the second plank and felt the same thing, albeit a bit more powerful. He tried to compare the first and the second energy from before. The energy was too small like the first rank of Foundation Stage, and the second one was similar.
Alex wondered whether it had a milestone or not like the energy suddenly became sharp after a certain step. In the end, he had too little information, so he could only say, "If there are any other feelings you get, please tell me about it. If not, then just shake your head to save time."
The trio nodded before walking again. They slowly walked step by step, feeling any change in the energy. Unfortunately, there was no other feeling as it was still too weak.
"So, what do you think?" Alex asked as he felt all the energy inside the first one hundred planks was only at the foundation stage, not even reached the Martial Master.
"Nothing. I don\'t feel anything wrong." Sherry simply shook her head, looking down to see if she missed anything.
"I do feel a bit more comfortable than the beginning, but there is something missing, and I don\'t know what it is…" Kyle looked down, falling into deep thought.
"Yeah. I have the same feeling as Kyle. I don\'t know whether this is true or not, but I feel a trace of dragon energy." Stina expressed her feelings. "Maybe because the energy is too low, I truly can\'t discern it. If the information is correct, I should be able to feel it more clearly."
Sherry obviously didn\'t know about the Dragon aura. Not only was she not familiar with it, considering she never met a dragon even in the other world. Hence, it was normal if Sherry didn\'t know about it.
On the other hand, Kyle was a phoenix, which allowed him to get the phoenix energy inside him. Unfortunately, he didn\'t have Dragon Blood, giving him a sense of loss. Only Stina, who had many experiences with the Dragon, managed to sense the thin dragon energy.
Alex also couldn\'t discern the energy because both blended with the Spiritual Energy, showing the same color as it. In the end, Alex could only rely on these three to see if there was something wrong.
"I see." Alex pondered for a moment before saying, "I am not going to brag or whatever, but I feel this place… no, this inheritance is for me."
"What do you mean, Master?" Sherry was surprised, never expecting him to say that. Kyle and Stina fell into silence, waiting for him to continue.
"I am sure Stina might notice this, but have you seen me suddenly be absent-minded when I challenged a trial in the other world?" Alex looked at Stina with a smile. This might be the first time he told this to others.
"!!!" The memory suddenly flashed inside her mind, giving a few flashback scenes. Stina nodded. "Yes. I have seen you a few times. I thought other race leaders also knew about it… But what is the relation between that state and this inheritance?"
"I met a person, half-dragon half-phoenix," Alex answered with just a simple introduction. Yet, it was enough for Stina to realize what he meant.
"The Supreme?" Stina gasped.
Alex nodded, "I feel so. Although I know he is half-dragon half-phoenix, I don\'t know if I met the same person or not. In any case, he told me many things, but all of them led to this Strength Plateau. After that, he told me to ask the Neptune about the keys, and this was where I got three extra green boxes from him.
"This was a clue that the Supreme left behind, representing three races. My race for whatever it is, Dragon Race and Phoenix Race, the two that he belonged to. He must feel responsible for the two races, considering he bore both blood, so he wanted to give both races a chance for this.
"And the last key to beat the inheritance lies in the Dragon Race," Alex said mysteriously.
Stina fell into deep thought before realizing the real thing to get past this inheritance. "Dragon Strengthening Technique!"
"Yeah." Alex nodded. "This inheritance must be for me to unlock the second stage of the Dragon Strengthening Technique. I don\'t know what it is for, but I will reject it if it\'s against my principle."
"I see. But I don\'t know the connection between this to my Phoenix Race other than blood-related. I mean, Dragon delivered you a technique while the Neptune gave you the keys. Then… What\'s about the phoenix?" Stina furrowed her eyebrows. She didn\'t know whether to be annoyed or happy since she didn\'t need to bear such a burden.
"Actually… he has given a mission to the Phoenix Race… No, I should say the Phoenix Race is the one who gave the mission to him."
"What do you mean?" Stina tried to recall everything, but nothing came to her mind that was related to this issue.
Alex smiled and asked, "Are you sure you can\'t think of it?"
Stina shook her head before Alex suddenly took out one thing from his Inventory. At that time, she finally recognized every plan and condition in this inheritance.
Alex held the Fire God Scepter and smiled. "Yeah. This is the item that the Fire God might want to give him… albeit he might reject it or something. He then used it for his trial as one of the requirements. With this, I should have gotten all the requirements."
"Master, you are great!" Sherry hugged her like a kid, smiling proudly.
He only patted her head a few times before saying to Stina. "Sorry. If I know about it before we go to another world, I will give you the Dragon Strengthening Technique and the other scepter to you."
Alex never promised anything about the Dragon Strengthening Technique, so he could give it to anyone.
"No. This must be the will of the ancestor. He even said it to you to give the scepter to the current ruler. Besides, even though there is no promise between you and the Supreme, I shouldn\'t learn it too… courtesy… I guess." Stina shook her head with a smile.
"I don\'t really give a damn about courtesy. I only stick to my promise. Other than that, I will do anything I deem beneficial to me."
Stina still shook her head. "I am grateful for the thought alone, Master. Despite fulfilling all the requirements, all of it would be useless if you can\'t reach the last place, Master."
"I know." Alex nodded before turning back, "Shall we go then?"
The trio exchanged looks and nodded, following him.
