Chapter 127: Late on a Saturday

Alex opened his eyes inside his brightly lit room. He tried to remember what he was doing today before leaving the game.

"Ah, that's right. Those talismans. I learned all the recipes and blueprints. It's amazing how I can remember everything in the game, yet in the real world, I can't even remember to call my parents." He laughed as he said that to himself.

"Hmm… " suddenly, he noticed something. Something was vibrating close to him. When he tried to look around for what it was, he realized that it was coming from one of his numerous storage bags.

As he looked into the bag to see what was making so much of a ruckus, he realized that it was his badge. He took out the badge numbered 168 and saw that it was not only vibrating but also flashing as well.

'What's going on?' he thought as he sent his spiritual sense into the badge. "What?!!" he exclaimed loudly as he realized there were numerous notifications in his badge, and all of them were similar.

-Number 182 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

-You have forfeited the match. Your number is now 182-

-Number 198 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

-You have forfeited the match. Your number is now 198-

-Number 873 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

-You have forfeited the match. Your number is now 873-

-Number 943 has registered a match with you. You have 1 hour to fight-

Alex was really surprised now. "Oh no. Today is a Saturday. I forgot you had to fight every hour on a Friday and Saturday." He looked at the time and realized there was only an hour and a half left before the fightings were over.

He hurriedly ran out of the house. He put the badge on the wooden panel and walked out after the door opened. As soon as he was out, the badge suddenly showed a change.

The number of the badge suddenly changed from 168 to 873. "It can do that too?" Alex was surprised. He didn't give it another thought, however. He started running towards the sect crater and reached it in less than 10 minutes.

However, by the time he was there, his hour was over, and his badge had changed from number 973 to 943.

He immediately went onto a queue in the fighting hall and waited for his turn to register. As soon as his turn came, he registered a fight with the same person with badge 168.

He had made it in time. There were still quite a few minutes before it was 8 o'clock, so even if the man didn't choose to fight and waited out his hour-long break, Alex would still win.

He calmed down a little and started looking at the fights going on all around him. It was almost as if the entire sect was down here in the crater and they were all fighting today.

"Is this how the Fridays and Saturdays are normally spent in Tiger Sect? No wonder they are so much better at fighting." He wondered.

The entire thing looked like a festival. The number of people here was way higher than the amusement park they went to today could ever hope to have.

Finally, after waiting for nearly an hour, his opponent arrived. Alex walked up to the stage and handed his badge to the elder. He then turned around to see a male disciple wearing inner sect clothes. He had a clean-shaven face with short black hair. The most interesting thing about the man was that he was in the same cultivation realm as him. The bone tempering 8th realm.

'The last guy I fought who had the badge 168 was in the 6th realm. Yet, somehow he who came from below has higher cultivation? That shouldn't be possible.'

The guy on the other hand had a confused look. "You don't match the description either," he said to Alex.

"What?" he was confused.

"Hmm... I am pretty sure the person I was supposed to fight was a tall guy with an oval face and long hair. Your face is neither oval nor is your hair long. is that guy still in hiding? I thought he would come to get his badge back by now." the man said.

"What do you— " suddenly Alex remembered. 'My face is still different? Ah, that's right. It's supposed to go away after another 8 hours only.' He finally remembered that the effect of the Face Changing pills was still there.

'Does that mean this person came to fight me specifically? I don't remember getting into trouble with someone like him,' he thought.

"Did you want to specifically fight this guy or what? You seem to have some sort of purpose?" Alex asked.

"Uh, yeah. Sigh. Brother Huo even specifically asked me to beat him up. It seems I will have to return back with the news of failure. Urghh… now I'm frustrated. Why did you have to go and take that guy's spot huh." The man started with an annoyed looked, then got frustrated and finally, got angry.

'So, it was that Huo Tu guy again. Is his ego so fragile that just one deny and he sent his entire collections of lackeys behind me? What will that even get him? He is not even the one taking his revenge.' Alex started frowning too as he thought that.

"Arhh… Screw this. If I can't beat him, then I will beat you up. You dared to register a fight against me huh, see how I torture you during this battle." The man suddenly took out a saber. It looked fancy and was definitely a high-grade weapon.

Alex got a little apprehensive as well. He deliberated between taking out the normal sword or taking out the True ranked sword. In the end, he went with the normal sword since he still had to furnish his techniques.

The elder then brought out his hands forward and screamed, "Fight!!"
