"You must remove this poor fool immediately! He’s ruining our shopping experience, and I won’t tolerate it," the man insisted.
Beatrix crossed her arms, watching the situation unfold with a smug expression, her head held high, exuding arrogance and confidence.
The sales representative was caught in a difficult position.

Chapter 618
Alex felt the surge of power settle deep within him as he broke through to the first stage of Foundation Establishment.The metal element coursed through his meridians like liquid steel, sharp and unyielding, born from the long hours of enlightenment.The knowledge had flooded him, reshaping everything he thought he knew about combat and cultivation.He opened his eyes and scanned the plaza.Dozens of outer disciples stared at him in open-mouthed awe, their faces frozen between disbelief and reverence.But Alex had no time for their stares. He did not care what they thought of him.Without a word, he flicked his wrist and hurled the white sword skyward. It spun once, then hung motionless in the air, humming with quiet power.In one fluid motion he leaped, landing lightly on its flat blade.“Go,” he said.The sword shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, carrying him high above the peaks in a streak of white light.Gasps rippled through the crowd. Shock turned to frenzy. A hand

Alex had spent days absorbing every sword art the old man offered from the Murim traditions.Mount Hua’s flowing strikes, Emei’s precise cuts, Qingcheng’s relentless pressure—he had mastered them all with Gaia’s quiet assistance, the system recording each form perfectly in his mind.“What do you think?” the old man asked, his voice low and steady.Alex hesitated. He had turned the question over in his head for hours now.The old techniques felt natural after Gaia’s help, like extensions of his own body.But this new art the old man wanted to teach him—the Limitless Sword, the origin of life and death—left him completely lost.No matter how hard he tried, he could not grasp it.Even Gaia had failed. The old man’s movements refused to be captured. Every swing shifted and changed, impossible to pin down.Limitless, just as the name promised. The system could only report the same empty message: No pattern detected.The old man rose slowly to his feet. “I know you possess a sharp mind, boy
Chapter 616
The illusionary realm shimmered and dissolved around Alex like mist burning off under morning sun.In its place stretched a vast, rolling hill crowned with ancient trees, a crystal-clear river winding lazily through the valley below, and a dense forest of emerald pines and flowering maples that whispered in the breeze.Sunlight dappled the grass in golden patches. The air smelled of pine resin and wildflowers, crisp and alive.An old man stood beside the river, tall and straight-backed, his silver hair tied neatly at the nape of his neck.He was strikingly handsome even in age—high cheekbones, warm brown eyes that sparkled with quiet mischief, and a smile that carried the easy charm of someone who had once turned every head in a room.He wore simple gray robes that moved with the wind as though they belonged to the landscape itself.Alex approached slowly. The old man tilted his face toward the open sky, watching a lone hawk circle overhead.“I don’t know how many centuries have passe

Alex stood within the illusory realm of the swordplay trial. An elder materialized before him, robes stirring as though touched by an invisible breeze.“This is the Wudang Seven Moons,” the elder said. He lifted his sword and began to move.Every arc of the blade summoned seven luminous moons that hung in the air like pale lanterns, their light flowing with each strike. The forms were graceful yet merciless, a dance of moonlight and steel.When the demonstration ended, the elder lowered his weapon and met Alex’s gaze. “If you can defend yourself against seven times seven of those strikes—forty-nine in all—you will advance. You have one hour to study the art.”Most who saw the technique only once would have needed rare fortune to grasp even its basics.Alex had Gaia. The system captured every angle, every shift of weight and breath, then replayed the sequence hundreds of times inside his mind with flawless precision.He sat in meditation while the hour ticked away in the real world. Ga
Chapter 614
Alex stepped into the swordplay trial, and the first bout hit him like a cold slap.One moment he stood among the gathered disciples on Sword Peak; the next, the world blurred and he found himself alone in a wide stone arena under a pale sky.A figure shimmered into existence across from him—a young disciple gripping a wooden sword. The attacker came on without hesitation, blade flashing in a simple, textbook arc from the Wudang basics.Alex’s pulse quickened. He had trained these same forms for years. He saw the opening before the strike even finished its path: the slight drop of the elbow, the overextended shoulder.His own wooden sword snapped up, parried cleanly, and drove forward in a crisp counter. Wood cracked against wood. The disciple staggered and dissolved into light.Ten points flashed in front of his eyes.He allowed himself a tight smile. So that was how it worked.Every victory added ten points. Every loss would strip them away just as fast. As long as the tally stayed
Chapter 613
Alex stared at the growing crowd that had fallen in behind them, his brow furrowed in genuine confusion.“Why are all these people gathering with us?” he asked.Lu Piao threw his head back and laughed, the sound bright and unrestrained. “Big Brother, your humbleness is bottomless. Let me bow to you first.” He swept into a deep, theatrical bow, holding it just long enough for Alex to feel awkward.Alex accepted the gesture with a small, resigned nod and waited.Still grinning, Lu Piao straightened. “First,” he said, voice ringing with pride, “who on this peak doesn’t know you’re ranked number one on the Thousand Herbs Stone Stele for medical knowledge?”Alex gave a slight nod. That much he understood; the ranking was public.“Second,” Lu Piao continued, “you’re the undisputed number-one outer disciple of Thousand Herb Peak. Everyone saw that fight.”Again Alex nodded. The memory of the bout still sat fresh in his mind, raw and public.“Third,” Lu Piao said, “for the last two years you’
