BXBX NOVEL Chapter 897 - Wishes
A flash of memory couldn\'t help but flash in her mind. It was a scene where she asked the previous Alex about his ability.
She asked, "Why are you not incorporating your ability with another world\'s cultivation? I mean, you can do it with your Sword and Spear Qi, but can\'t you do the same with your element?"
"Nah." Alex shook his head and raised his vision, looking at the sky. "In fact, I wish I didn\'t have this element, so I could focus on only one or two elements at a time. Right now, I can use every element like an expert, but I am a master of none.
"In my heart, I wish that I have only one element like my mentor, so I can take it to another level. What is it called again? Godly Pure Fire? Yeah. That\'s it.
"My attack pattern is unique, but when I fight against someone who understands me, he will know my ability and adjust to it. At that time, I will surely lose."
Lin Xingzhi furrowed her eyebrows. Her expression said she wasn\'t convinced. "So, what do you think is the best combination for you?"
"Maybe one or two elements. Considering I have my Sword and Spear at the same time, two elements will be my limit to master something, no matter the time. If we consider the color representing each element, what do you think if we mix many colors at the same time?
"Instead of making it more beautiful, it will simply mix with each other and become black… A completely one color. And that is my current situation.
"Of course, if we are talking about me, my black is so dark that no color will make it darker anymore. But believe me, if I need to choose a rainbow color or black, I will choose the former.
"For example, I have this red color that represents the fire element… If I want to enhance it, I will simply drop more red paint on it, making it shine brighter.
"That\'s why I am a bit envious of your situation. You only have one element, allowing you to reach the peak with it… Unlike me who will have his foundation ruined if I add another color on it… Not that it matters though.
"In any case, that\'s just my wish. Instead of getting all the things possible, I want to master only a few things and make sure I reach the peak with those things." Alex smiled and let out a long sigh.
Lin Xingzhi fell silent and sighed. She realized the fact why her Father, his mentor, and a few were still stronger than him despite having the same strength. They had been increasing their knowledge about their ability for a long time, knowing every nook and corner and applying that knowledge in their battle.
However, Alex just couldn\'t. If he only improved one element, the others would become his flaw. The only thing he could do was to use his Sword and Spear, so he learned that Sword and Spear Qi.
"I will heed your warning then and make sure I master this ability can only be used because it is me who is using it," Lin Xingzhi smiled mysteriously and answered with a hidden intention.
"Yeah. I am looking forward to it." Alex nodded.
Unfortunately, he couldn\'t see her becoming the peak of Nature. The current her could only let out a long sigh.
Luckily, she never needed to ask Alex to not get any more elements as he would end up like the previous him. And she believed with the way Alex described it, the current Alex who only mastered two elements would stand a chance in defeating that beast.
She looked at the current progress of Xue Ning and commented. "I think it should be fine right now. The Ice inside her has calmed down. She should be able to deal with the rest."
Alex glanced at her and nodded.
The sky had turned dark as well, so they might need to make a camp first.
However, Alex looked at the man first and said, "I have done my part."
"Y-yes." Xue Lang repeatedly nodded before he thought about something. He realized that he still had two wishes and decided on one of them. He kneeled in front of him, placing his head on the ground. "Please make me your disciple."
This certainly shocked the soul beside him and the elder.
"Impossible." Alex also rejected it outright without even thinking about it.
\'I think that is impossible, Xue Lang. If I tell you the truth, your talent is far too low compared to your sister. There is simply no chance to have him as your master.\' The soul shook her head.
"I can even give you everything I have." Xue Lang kept kneeling, ignoring the advice. He realized how much power he actually needed to protect his sister. Alex could guarantee it if he really became a disciple of such a great master.
"Enough. It\'s impossible. I don\'t see one\'s talent or anything, but it\'s simply whether there is karma tying us or not." Alex shook his head.
"Little guy, you don\'t understand the weight to become his disciple." Lin Xingzhi sighed. "You are smart, but if you are too smart, you will think everything can be resolved with your brain. In other words, you are overthinking everything."
Alex agreed with her statement and reminded him. "I have said it myself, If the wish exceeds the value of the flower, I will tell you. And this is it."
"If you are thinking about getting stronger, I think he has a way…" Lin Xingzhi smiled.
Alex tilted his head, confused by her words.
Sensing his gaze, she smirked and said, "We can reform your talent, so you can cultivate even faster."
"!!!" Both Xue Lang and Alex were startled by her statement.
Alex certainly realized what she meant by that. It was the Revolving Heart Pill. This pill could stimulate one\'s heart and enhance their talent. He had given this pill to Rose and Evelyn and stored the last one inside his Inventory.
Never in his thought that he would give it away on this occasion. Nonetheless, he didn\'t really have a use for that.
He nodded and took out the Revolving Heart Pill. "Still… I am wondering if I am too generous here…"
"Fufu… We are just going for a honeymoon here while getting Fire Grass. There is nothing wrong with that." She giggled before sending a thought transmission. \'Besides, you have made his younger sister stronger, and if you make him stronger, won\'t it break the cliches? I wonder what kind of thing we will see in the future.\'
\'So, that\'s your real intention for not stopping me…\' Alex snorted but thought that the idea wasn\'t that bad. He indeed wanted to see what kind of future this would lead to.
He looked at the pill in his hand and said, "This is Revolving Heart Pill. It can increase your talent with a very big leap… And this pill only affects your cultivation speed, not your Martial Spirit or any other things inside your body. I can trade this one with one of the wishes."
\'You should say you just want to get rid of that pill…\' Lin Xingzhi smirked.
\'If I want to get rid of it, I can think of a better way, you know.\' Alex pouted inwardly. \'I mean, I can simply make it as a reward in my Gacha System. I haven\'t established my first \'source\' of income, but Korzan will surely find it soon.\'
\'No, no. Think about it this way, seeing how generous you are, this little guy will surely be thankful to you. Although it\'s only an investment, he can be our ally in the future… Of course, we can only wait for him to grow before ripping something like this. But if he is ungrateful and wants to scam us, we can eliminate him at that time.\'
\'Hmm, something like an investment, huh. Now that you mention it, if I give this pill as a part of the reward, no one will see me directly. Well, I help people not for their gratitude, but since there is a bonus for helping them, why not?\' Alex furrowed his eyebrows, somehow agreeing to her view.
\'Yeah. As you might already know that the number of our enemies is more than you can imagine. And if in the future, they are trying to attack us or something, there will be allies popping out of everywhere, helping us.\'
At first, Alex couldn\'t see it, but when he took into account how the loss of the previous Alexander Sirius affected Eulja, he was able to understand why she suggested this.
If not for the fact that the Spirit God saved the whole galaxy, Eulja might have experienced a ruthless skirmish that might even destroy the whole planet.
He didn\'t plan to go anywhere, but preparing for the worst-case scenario seemed to be good as well. He had nothing to lose anyway.
After considering a few more aspects, he agreed to her statement.
"Yeah. I can give you this pill." Alex nodded with a solemn expression.
"This…" Xue Lang hesitated for a few seconds before the soul advised to take it. She warned him not to be too greedy because it would ruin his life.
After taking the pill, he didn\'t swallow it right away. Instead, he clasped his hands toward Alex and asked politely. "May I use my third wish right now?"
"Sure."
Xue Lang then turned around, pointing his finger at the soul. "I want to use this wish to fulfill her wish. I have promised to restore her body, but I realize that there is no guarantee I can do it. Hence, it\'s better if I use it this way. After all, I have been indebted to her this whole time."
Alex had no change of expression as if he had predicted it.
\'Hehe… As expected, this guy will use it on her. Just take a look at this, there are already three harem girls as his companions.\' Lin Xingzhi laughed behind them. She seemed to enjoy this scene very much.
\'Pfft. Are you insulting me or something?\' Alex also chuckled but thought she also wanted to tease him, considering he met everyone except Anya in the lower world.
\'Maybe.\'
\'Should I break them apart? There are many lines I can use, you know. First, I can say I have fallen in love with one of them and take them to a Divine World. Second, I can say you are not worthy of her and make him leave.\' Alex decided to tease her as well.
\'Hoho… So, you want to be a villain.\'
\'If I want to do it, I will surely pursue him and kill him with all the strength I have. Not sending some low-level minions and letting him grow his strength.\' Alex shrugged. \'I don\'t care about my face after all.\'
\'Haha… Indeed. You were not born and raised in that type of world where the face is important, so I could see it that way. Anyway, what are you going to do with the third wish?\'
\'Hmm.\' Alex fell silent and stared at the soul. "Restoring one\'s body is easier said than done. First, she needs a body strong enough to contain her soul. And it must also be compatible with her Martial Spirit. In other words, it\'s too much of a hassle, so I guess I will reject this wish."
"What?!" Xue Lang widened his mouth while the soul only smiled as if she had expected it.
"Well, that\'s how it is. I don\'t have the materials to do it and have no time to gather that." Alex shrugged. "So, change your wish."
Xue Lang gritted his teeth and thought of another way to bend his wish. However, he soon realized that he couldn\'t come up with another wish, whether related to the soul or any other wishes.
"I…"
