Chapter 263 - Royal Family

Alex and the rest were gathered in Ma Rong's room.

"Everyone, great job in today's compet.i.tion. We have managed to get exactly 210 points for the sect today. If we just manage to get 313 more, we will be easily entering the 1st-grade list," Ma Rong said.

"So, tomorrow's compet.i.tion is based on speed. We can't guarantee that there will be 2 compet.i.tions tomorrow as well just like today, so the group for tomorrow will be decided on the spot as well. But, it will definitely include you Fanfan, so be prepared."

"Depending on the situation, I might or might not include Wan Li and Meimei," Ma Rong said. She didn't even say anything about Alex, so he believed that he definitely didn't have any chance at all.

Ma Rong spoke a little longer and dismissed the group. Alex walked back to his room and logged out. He walked to the kitchen and found his cousin hungrily gulping down food.

"You seem like you haven't eaten anything in days," Alex said.

Hannah simply looked at him with a guilty face. Alex was stunned, "You didn't eat anything since the party?" he asked.

"I didn't have to. The capsule stopped all my hunger all day. I'm only eating right now because I know that my body needs it. It is so scary. You might get lost in the game for days on end now, and it won't even be that bad since your body will conserve energy," Hannah said.

Alex couldn't help but shake his head in the thought that he might end up being the same when his capsule arrived.

"Oh, that's right. Sister, can you get up in the morning to accept my capsule at around 8 am? I will be in the coliseum looking at the compet.i.tion at the time. I will log out around 12 pm and then we can take it to my room," Alex said.

"Sure. That reminds me, how was the compet.i.tion today? Did you take part in any?" she asked.

"Of course, and your brother got first place," Alex said with a thumbs up. He quickly ate his food and returned back to the game.

It was nearly 8 pm now, so the only thing he could do right now was cultivated. He sneakily took out Pearl and hid him in his robes. Soon, there was slight golden light spilling out from his robes and his body was full of cuts. He was body cultivating.

He didn't immediately go and start cultivating his Qi, however. He instead brought out the Spirit Cleansing Lily. He hadn't used one for a while since he hadn't cultivated his Qi properly in a while.

'Last time I did it I failed for some reason,' he thought as he remembered to when the flower was intact with him even after he was done cultivating.

'Will the same thing happen again? Or will the spiritual sea increase this time?' Alex wondered and finally started cultivating.

It took him a while to get into the groove of ignoring the pain while trying to meditate. After a while, he succeeded, and soon, he fell into a trance and fell unconscious.

Alex woke up early in the morning. His body was still full of cuts so he stopped Pearl from cultivating and checked his hand.

The flower was still there. He was now sure that there was either something wrong with his body, or there was something wrong with the flower.

'Or many neither. Maybe I have just reached the limits of the flower usage and can't use any more raw ones,' he thought. That seemed to be the most logical answer.

'I should go to the library with master and check today or tomorrow,' he thought. He pets Pearl from outside his robes and checked his status.

'It's taking so long now,' Alex thought. 'I should be fine giving him a monster core, right?' He quickly took out a monster core for a Bone Tempering 9th realm beast. He didn't dare give him one for an organ realm beast as he wasn't sure if Pearl could fight the mental battle that started randomly appearing after the Organ Tempering realm.

He quickly sent Pearl back into the tattoo and looked at the time. '6:30 am huh? It should be right abo— '

KNOCK KNOCK

"It's time to leave." Someone at the door said and left to speak to more people.

Alex stood up and left the room along with Wan Li. Outside, the group of people was all ready to leave. Once everyone was out, they walked down the stairs and left the hotel.

It took them around 20 minutes to reach the Coliseum on the east side of the city.

The second Elder slowly walked next to Ma Rong and asked, "Sect Leader, did you see the royal family yesterday?"

"No, I didn't. Maybe they aren't planning on coming for the first 4 days and will only arrive to watch the final combat section? After all, that is what most of the people are here for," Ma Rong said.

"That sounds about right. Sigh, I guess we won't be showing off to them at all," the second Elder said.

Alex was a little curious. So he got close to Ma Rong and asked, "Master, isn't Fu Zhen part of the royal family too?"

According to Ma Rong previously, the surname Fu belonged to the royal family, and seeing that he was part of the Royal Fu Academy that managed the compet.i.tion, he was surprised that the second elder still asked for another member of the royal family.

"Although I don't know the relation, Fu Zhen is definitely related to the royal family. But he isn't considered a part of the royal family itself."

"To be considered as part of the royal family you must be born as siblings to the Emperor, or cousin to the prince and princess. Any more and you aren't considered as part of one."
