Chapter 115: Beat up

"Hey, Brother, Wait please."

Alex was near the outer end of the crater, about to leave the place when he suddenly heard someone calling. He turned around to find out that it was the beefy man who was calling him.

"Can I do something for you?" Alex asked.

"Ah brother, I've never seen you before, are you new around here?" he asked.

"Yes, I joined not long ago," Alex simply answered waiting for the man to get to the point.

The beefy man was surprised when he did learn that Alex really was a new disciple in the sect. "Oh, brother. You are so strong after joining the sect for so little time. Can you tell me your name?" the beefy man asked.

"It's Yu Ming," Alex simply replied. "Ah, Good to see you brother. I won't stop you now. I will take my leave." The man said and left him there.

Alex frowned. Something was fishy. There was no way the beefy man came here to just converse with him. Especially after he had just been defeated by him.

'How come he is not angry or upset with me? And the more troubling part, why did he only ask for my name, yet didn't give me his own?' he decided to follow the beefy man to see where he went.

After walking back inside the sect crater for a few minutes, the beefy man openly met another man and started talking to him. Alex recognized that guy. 'The inner sect disciple, that's the lackey to that Huo Tu guy? What does he want with my na— Oh. Sh*t, this is going to be troublesome now.'

Only now did Alex realize that he had just hit himself in the foot by giving that man his name. Now, those lackeys wouldn't have to worry about his ranking, and could fight him using his name.

'Whatever, it's not like they can ever beat me. The most they can be is annoying. I will see how long they can keep being annoying.' He thought and threw the matter into some dark corner in his mind.

It was late, so instead of going to his new house 194, which he would have to search for, he directly went to the training facility at his master's place.

Somewhere along the way, he disappeared, and only appeared when he reached his destination. The door to the training facility was open, so he simply walked in there.

"Master, I'm here," he said as he walked in.

Suddenly, a girl with a pouting face appeared in front of him and started talking to him. "Junior brother, Why didn't you come to see me yet? You already joined the sect yesterday and yet I have to be the one to come find you."

Luo Mei acted as if she was angered by this. Alex smiled and said, "Hello, senior sister. I had a lot to do after joining the sect yesterday, so I couldn't come to find you. Please forgive me."

"Hmph. There is no way I'm forgiving you until I beat you to a meat pulp." She said as she waved her fist. Alex was a bit surprised at the sudden and unexpected threat.

Wen Cheng walked from the side and said, "Ah, you're finally here. Did you do what I told you to do?"

Alex reached into his bag and took out the badge numbered 194. He showed it to Wen Cheng, who nodded in satisfaction. "Good, good." Wen Cheng then reaching into his bag and pulled out a stack of books.

There were about 7 books in the stack and he handed them all to Alex. "Here you go. These are all the books I found for you. They are the best of the best we have. Learn them when possible and practice them as much as you can."

"Thank you, master," Alex bowed a little to Wen Cheng as he started to look at the books.

"Nuh Uh. You don't get to learn that now. First, we fight right now. I want to see how much you've learned of the Elusive Heavenly Sword. Also, I said I was going to beat you and I was not lying about it. Come."

Luo Mei took out her blue blade and walked to the middle of the training hall. Wen Cheng shook his head as he smiled a little. "You better do what she says Yu Ming, your senior sister gets really angry when she is mad about something."

"Master, stop talking bad about me." She shouted. We n Cheng simply laughed in response. Alex found himself unable to come up with any excuse so as to not fight, so he just took out his sword and went to the middle to fight.

As soon as both of them were ready, they started fighting. While Luo Mei did act angry, she was genuinely curious about how much he had learned.

Just prior to Alex coming here, Her master had told her that her junior brother had managed to learn the sword art overnight and she was very curious as to how much he had progressed.

After fighting for about 10 minutes, Luo Mei was absolutely shocked at how far he had come. 'Did he really just learn this sword art yesterday? How is he so good at it already?'

As she fought him more and more, she started becoming certain that telling her master about him at that time was the best choice. 'God, I thought I was already the most talented disciple of the master. However, he just overshadows us without even trying.'

After a few more minutes, Luo Mei got serious and started beating Alex all around. She used the flat side of his thin blade, but the strength of a Mind Tempering realm expert was too strong and by the time she was done, Alex was bruised all over.

"Next time, be sure to come to meet me, or you will have to train with me once more." She said and left the training hall.

Alex looked at himself and started laughing. Although she beat him all over, she only did damages that were easily healed and only hurt a lot.
