<h4>444 Training Part II</h4>


    After finishing his other training, it was time to face his soul. He needed to defeat those two consciousnesses and fused both of his intentspletely. It was then he could start his Sword and Spear Training.


    Alex had been instructed by the system on how to control his soul and how to defeat the two consciousnesses.


    So, Alex sat on his bed and entered his consciousness. He went back to the special soul realm again and looked at his soul. He also observed the Sword and Spear consciousness. They would not attack him before he attacked them, so he could get ustomed to his Soul first.


    He sat back on the center of the cloud and tried to link his mind to his soul. He felt a bit of a connection between his mind and the mini version of him. This process was called synchronization, and before he knew it, he suddenly entered the little guy.


    He was surprised and raised his hands like normal. It was really weird to see small hands and such, even his vision was much lower. He tried to summon a sword and a spear on his hand with his thought and seeded.


    He then started moving left and right to get ustomed to his small body. He fell many times as he was confused with the height difference and stumbled.


    It took him three hours to get ustomed to his body. He also managed to use his Fire and Space Element, so confidence started to build up within him.


    ording to his system, Alex needed to destroy both consciousnesses simultaneously to trigger the fusion between the two intents. So, Alex needed a n to do that.


    He waved his hand and sent a fire phoenix toward the two wisps.


    "Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon."


    Surprisingly, the two wisps suddenly let out a single sword wave each, making an ''X'' sword wave and obliterated his phoenix in an instant.


    Alex frowned when he saw this. He could see that the Sword Wave had his condensed domains. It seemed to challenge them, he needed to use his Pure Fire and two elements at the same time.


    With that, he released his Pure Fire and covered his sword with them. He swung both of his weapons at the same time, making the same move like the wisps.


    "Seven Stars Cut."


    The weapons also did the same, but it did not have his Fire Element, so their attack was broken. They immediately avoided Alex''s attack and sent out another attack. It was his Quick Silver this time.


    Alex swung his weapons to destroy the two Quick Silvers.


    "Heaven Breaking Sword."


    "Berserker Strike."


    He then waved both of his hands, creating two fire spirals that flew toward the consciousness.


    "Fire Wave Emission."


    The fire spirals immediately circled around the consciousness beforeing toward them. The me immediately swallowed, but the two wisps quickly cut the me with an invisible de.


    Alex was astonished. He was observing them with his Spirit Eyes, and he could see what just happened. The wisps made a sudden explosion of the domain, creating a powerful rejection force and sted his fire away. He never thought he could use his domains like that. It seemed he needed to prolong the fight a little bit to see what kind of wonder the Domains actually had.


    Alex started engaging them, and the wisps made an illusory weapon and attacked him together.


    They had equal exchanges even with his Pure Fire. So, Alex decided to bait them in using their Seven Stars Cut.


    "Fire Wave Emission." Alex sent another fire spiral, but this time, he made it like a huge ocean wave that would engulf everything in front of it.


    The wisps immediately used Seven Stars Cut and destroyed the fire wave. The sword wave was burned by the fire but managed to destroy his fire waves. He then made two portals in front of him. One to absorb the attack and the other one to send the attack back.


    He did not stop there and used his Seven Stars Cut together with his Fire.


    The two consciousness used the burst of the domain to deflect their own Seven Stars Cut and sent another Sword Wave to break the second one. They were prepared to avoid this attack, but Alex did not give them a chance. He used his teleportation array and appeared behind them while swinging his weapons.


    "Heaven Breaking Sword."


    "Berserker Strike."


    They were cut into two and could not do a single thing after that.


    After killing both wisps at the same time, they burst out, letting out many white and ck particles in the air.


    The Sword and Spear Intents in his body started rampaging, and both of his domains were released in the real world.


    Before he knew it, Alex was already back in his real body and vanished from his consciousness. He came back to his real body and kept savoring all the feelings. The process was indescribable for him.


    Because of the size of his domains, Anya and Rose could see both of his domains from outside. Rose felt she was shed by many swords in just a second and fell down, full of sweat. "Gah!"


    Anya immediately came to her and released a barrier to protect her. However, at this time, Anya suddenly cried. Her face was full of joy as she said, "Finally… he… he ising back."


    They could see the two domains started fusing into a single domain.


    Rose admired her master even though she was injured by it. After all, she never thought that the encounter turned out to be her most precious encounter. With that encounter, she, an average person, became a disciple of a Martial King as well as Sword King and Spear King.


    However, it was not just pride that crept inside her heart, but also anxiety. She was wondering whether she could fulfill the expectation from the people around as well as his expectation.


    Looking at this, Anya patted her head and said while healing her, "It''s fine. You don''t need to care about others. As for your master, the thought is enough. As long as you try, you will have the opportunity to make your master proud.


    "That''s why you need to work hard. Know that your master might work harder than you."


    "Uhm. I will work hard." She nodded furiously.


    "Of course, sometimes you need to take a break, not for your body but your mental aspect. Maybe enjoying your life or something." Anya smiled.


    "My mother and father said to enjoy my life with someone I like. I like Master, so I need to enjoy my life with him? She asked innocently.


    Anya''s eyebrows twitched when she heard that. "Fufu… You need to ask that question to him."


    …


    After a full day, Alex finally fused both of his domains into one, creating a stronger domain. It was the same as his intent.


    Alex tried to summon one of them but to no avail. It meant he had fused them entirely, and there was no sword intent or spear intent in him again. Instead, there was this intent that he called Sharp Twin Intent. He was not good with naming, so he would change the name if needed in the future.


    He finally finished dealing with the two consciousnesses, and he also got another technique as a bonus. He came out of his room and saw Anya together with Rose.


    Anya smiled at him and said, "Congrattions."


    Alex nodded with a smile. Meanwhile, Rose came to him and hugged him. "Master, congrattions."


    "Yeah, thank you." Alex patted her head.


    "Hehe…" After six months, Rose was not shy anymore. She then asked ''that'' question again. "Master, Big sister Anya said I need to ask you this."


    "Mhm? What is it? Do you have any problems with your cultivation?" Alex asked.


    "No, no." She shook her head hurriedly. "We talk about resting after training. She said it is for my mental aspect. My mother and father said I could enjoy my life with the person I like in the future, like mother and father. I like Master, that''s why I want to live together with Master."


    "Pu." Anya was trying hard to hold back herughter.


    Alex sighed at her and made a troubled expression. He shook his head and patted her head with a smile. "Sure, Master like you too. That''s why you need to work hard."


    "Yes. I can''t shame Master''s name." She nodded repeatedly.


    Alex then started his sword and spear training.


    Firstly, after fusing both of his intents, he needed to get ustomed to the new intent and made sure he could use all of his Sword and Spear Arts with it.


    The second objective was topletely fuse his Intent as well as his Domain to his Martial Arts. This one was trial and error. Sometimes, the Martial Arts broke because it did not assimte smoothly with his intents. Sometimes, it was far worse and created an explosion.


    After seeding in this one, he then tried to fuse Fire to his Martial Arts with his soul. He kept recalling the mini version of him, dragging his fire to Martial Arts, and he somehow managed to seed with his experiment. He then used it as his base and continued his experiment.


    Thest objective was tobine his Fire, Intent and Domain, and Martial Arts altogether. This one was the hardest one, as Alex needed to keep all three in bnce. Every time, he experimented, it would use a huge amount of soul power. This process took the longest time as Alex only seeded in it after four months, while the previous three objectives only took him two months.


    Alex finally finished all of his training and strengthened his basics since he became a Martial King a year ago. He was ready to go to the forest where he met Ukon. It was time to meet with his rtives in the lower world before going to the Northern Continent. After all, he might need a few years before he coulde back to this continent. Whether he wanted to go back or not was a different case though.


    Sherry and Kyle also had be Martial King beasts, and they were in the process of swallowing the Fire Dragon Heart and went back to his body. It seemed his Body was more beneficial for this because it hosted his Pure Fire. They were in a deep sleep again after swallowing the beasts.


    He then bid his goodbye to Rose and Anya. No one missed him since he would only leave for a while.


    After two days of flying, he finally arrived at the spot where he was teleported from the lower world. He instantly activated his spirit eyes and found the array, buried inside the ground.


    Alex started digging down and revealed the array. The array was veryplex, as even Alex could not understand all of them even with his knowledge. He thought it was to be expected from a God that had a unique Space Element.


    "This is the teleportation array."


    "This one is a restriction array. It can only let pass a Martial Master from the other side. However, it seems there is nothing about the teleportation Array from this world to the lower world." Alex pondered for a moment while recalling all of his knowledge.


    He tweaked the array a little bit, making the one-way teleportation to two-ways teleportation portal. This way, Alex could teleport there. He did not change the restriction but still sealed his power to peak Foundation Stage 9. In other words, Rank 9, ording to the lower world standard.


    ording to the technique, he needed to seal his power into the depth of his soul before hiding his soul inside a special realm. This realm was called Realm Seal. If he entered his body again, there was a gate inside his cloud world with his soul hidden inside that gate. This way, the world would not detect his soul or his cultivation.


    He then channeled his Spiritual Energy and disappeared from the world.
