545 Becoming a Rich Guy

"How is it?" An old man asked a middle-aged man.

"We don\'t know what those symbols are. After looking for a while, we have found many symbols with the purpose of baiting us, making the array harder to break." The middle-aged man answered. Looking back when he observed the array, he could not understand a single thing, leading him to give up on the observation itself.

One might think they could learn it if they looked at it hard enough. Unfortunately for Array Masters, they needed to remember the symbols and tested them to know their effect. There was not enough time to remember anything in that array other than a few symbols. Besides, if he made it too obvious, Alex might find out.

"I see. He is indeed special…" The old man looked at Alex from afar. "Haiz. Why is such a man not from my family?"

"..." The middle-aged man treated himself as if he did not hear the question. He was wondering why such a man was not famous in the Array Master Guild.

"Grandfather, what are you doing? We need to move now!" Song Yu flew toward him as she shouted. "We still need to fight fifteen thousand people before this war ends in our victory."

"Haha… That\'s right. We still have one last battle to finish." It turned out the old man was Song Yu\'s grandfather. He asked a rank 6 Array Master to learn anything about the trap Alex was talking about. Although he did not know whether Alex was the unordinary one or the array master was the foolish one, he knew the plan ended up in failure.

Song Yu heard their conversation and glanced at the middle-aged man with hostility.

"Little Song Yu, don\'t be like that. I am the one who hired him for this mission. Although I trust your judgment, as the previous head of Blackwade Clan, I also need to worry about the clan, especially against a special person like him." He explained his reason before adding, "If only my granddaughters can get his heart… I can die peacefully."

"You can still live for a few decades considering your cultivation and age." Song Yu replied while narrowing her eyes. "I still can\'t condone what you did, so I am going to ignore you for a few months."

"Haiz." He facepalmed, watching Song Yu leave after saying those words. In the end, he glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "We should go too. You are my old friend\'s son, so I am sure you know it too, right? If you tell a single soul about this, you are done."

"Yes." The middle-aged man could only nod. He himself was too scared about Alex\'s and his group prowess. As soon as Alex returned to the battlefield, he quickly stopped his investigation, so there was no need to worry about it.

The two flew toward the last barrier watching how scared the people inside the barrier. By coming here alone, the people inside the barrier could already predict what just happened on the battlefield. It was either they suffered a defeat, or the others had escaped. Nonetheless, it would be the end of them.

In front of the barrier, Alex was talking with Greg.

"How is the situation?"

"They have been attacking the barrier, but with our resources, we can stop them easily. From my speculation, we only lose around five hundred thousand Spirit Gems."

"Five hundred thousand Spirit Gems… I never thought we needed to spend that much…" Alex sighed.

"It can\'t be helped considering the people we trapped here are Martial Lords and Martial Kings. Even some of the Martial Emperors are here. However, they have given up and exhausted their Spiritual Energy." Greg paused for a moment, glanced at Anna and the others, and realized what happened. "Even with the others have exhausted their energy, I believe we can kill them pretty easily. Besides, I have been restoring my energy this whole time. As long as Anya supports me, I can do some reflecting attacks."

"Oh, you want to combine your metal and my light element, Greg?" Anya entered the conversation as soon as she heard her name.

"Yeah. What is that called again? Life Link? If you use the Life Link and give me a light element, I can use that element and combine it with my metal element to create a mirror that can send the attack back. Though it will require a bit more stamina, they are already weak anyway."

"Sure. I can do that." Anya nodded.

It was at this time Alex was wondering about these two\'s supreme attacks, so he asked with a thought transmission, not letting Song Yu hear it. "This is just my curiosity, so you guys don\'t have any obligation to answer. But I wonder what is your strongest skill?"

Due to the experience in the battlefield, Anya instantly realized what he was talking about. "I don\'t have any powerful attack techniques like what you are thinking. I am a support anyway, so I can only heal other people with my light element in a quite big area. I can\'t recover their stamina and energy though."

Anya whispered something to Greg as he nodded and answered Alex. "I am in the same position as Anya. With my shield, I can block a Martial Saint full attack once. However, I can create a huge shield and stamp everyone to death, but I am afraid no one would get that technique as it\'s very slow."

"Is that so?" Alex did not know what he was talking about, but he nodded nonetheless. "Then how about Nelson? I am a bit curious, considering I haven\'t met him for a while."

"Nelson technique doesn\'t kill many people despite having a mighty technique. If he could reach at least 7-Star Martial Monarch, I believe he can kill a normal 1-Star Martial Saint with that technique? I am not very sure though." Anya answered while shaking her head."

"That powerful?" Alex opened his mouth in amazement.

"If he uses it at night, of course," Anya added.

"Ah!" Alex suddenly recalled something that Anna told him a few years ago. He remembered that Nelson was actually stronger than Leoz in the night. And it would seem what she said was true since the others also knew it. "How about the SR spirits? Can they use something like this?"

"Not really. Only a spirit that has gained their full humanoid form would have the chance to grasp such a technique, but not all of them can. It\'s like one percent of the UR spirits, and there are not many UR spirits to begin with."

"That rare?" Alex widened his eyes in surprise. Although he knew the existence of Spirits, he didn\'t really know about them at all. The system kept telling him he would know about it eventually, albeit even after reaching the Martial Emperor Stage, he still knew nothing.

"Alright. That\'s enough for us. We need to kill them first." Alex sighed and changed the topic. "Do we need any plan?"

Anya pondered for a moment while observing the state of the trapped disciples before shaking her head. "I believe we can do a frontal assault. Seeing how they have lost hopes, we can finish this one pretty easily. Of course, we need to watch out if they try to fight with their lives on the line."

"Alright. I will go to my Senior Sister and tell her about it." Alex flew toward Song Yu, who was busy arranging the warriors from the Blackwade Clan.

"Is there any plan for this battle?"

"Not really. Many of my friends have exhausted most of their energies, so this battle will be relying on the Blackwade Clan. However, the Joyful Union Sect also has spent most of their energy, trying to break the barrier, so we should not need any plan."

"Understood. I will talk about it to my grandfather and Song Jia, so they can lead a portion of them to rout them swiftly." Song Yu nodded before looking at Alex with a complicated expression. "Since you are going to the Strength Plateau in a few weeks, why don\'t you come to my clan? I mean, most of the representatives from the western part of the continents are staying inside my clan to wait for the event."

"I am thankful for your invitation, but I have something I need to do. Besides, I also need to smack this little family that has been harassing my Rose." Alex shrugged.

"Ah, your disciple." Song Yu nodded, understanding his problem. "I see. Then it\'s too bad, I guess. I will invite you next time."

"Yeah." Alex smiled.

"By the way, I almost forgot about Evelyn, where is she? Have you rescued her?"

"She is fine… It\'s time for her to soar and get a better place. In any case, she is under my master friend\'s care."

"I see. It\'s good then." Song Yu let out a relieved breath. "I will meet you in a few minutes then."

"Sure." Alex then waited for the Blackwade Clan to finish their preparation.

…

Ten minutes later,

"Attack!" Alex shouted as he opened a huge door for his group and Blackwade Clan to enter before closing it again to prevent anyone from escaping.

Just like Greg had said earlier, he made those shields around, bouncing every attack that came to him or his allies. Although he didn\'t understand the concept of that technique, it was good nonetheless.

The battle ended too quickly as they had been exhausted from using too many techniques earlier. Alex also had a fair share of kills, so he wasn\'t bothered with how little his participation in this war. After all, just by presenting himself as the leader alone already brought much attention, if he killed many people and shocked the others, the Spirit Nest would surely be attacked again.

At that time, it would not be just one influence that attacked them, but an alliance between two or three influences.

Before giving a signal that Song Yu could loot the space rings, Nicole appeared in front of Alex and presented him with a space ring. "Master, we have finished gathering everything from their treasury. There are-"

"Say it in thought transmission." Alex stopped her before anyone could hear it, including Song Yu.

Nicole glanced around and nodded her head before continuing with thought transmission. "Yes. We have gathered around ten million Spirit Gems, many weapons from swords to bows, from rank 1 weapons to rank 6 weapons, and there are only twenty or something elemental weapons. They should fetch us quite a bit in case we sell them.

"The same as weapons, we get many pills and arrays. Although they are inferior to Young Master\'s, it\'s still worthy enough to be put in the treasury. Unfortunately, we don\'t find any rank 7 goods.

"Move onto the techniques. There are many techniques, including dual cultivation techniques, since they are famous because of it… In any case, we don\'t exactly need those techniques as they are inferior to Master\'s knowledge.

"Lastly, it\'s about Materials. As Master can expect from a sect treasury, they have plenty of good stuff from medicinal ingredients, metal, monster parts and so on. In other words, if Master has the urge to make pills or array plates, you don\'t need to worry for a while.

"From my speculations, if we sell the useless one and keep the useful one, we can somehow gain another five to seven million Spirit Gems." Nicole finished her report and began calculating how they would trade the items to Blackwade Clan.

"I understand. We will hold the items for the time being. Even if we are going to sell it, it will be after the strength plateau or before we go to the Sacred Continent." Alex smiled before asking, "That\'s right. Where are the green boxes?"

Nicole took out five green boxes and presented them to Alex. The glow of these boxes quickly captured everyone\'s attention. With the Spirit Nest contribution in this battle, Alex didn\'t have an obligation to give it to them. Despite being filled with jealousy, no one complained because Alex was already generous enough to let them loot the space rings.

Little did they know that the Strength Plateau did not affect the spirits, so as soon as he received the green boxes, he looked around before tossing those five boxes to Song Yu.

"It\'s yours," Alex said cooly, treating the boxes like nothing.
