Capítulo 44: Mission (1)
Alex began reading the technique as he glanced at the scroll, but it was written in a language that Alex wasn't familiar with.
"Hey system, could you please help me with this?" Alex made a request to the system.
"Here it is, host." The system replied as a notification screen appeared before Alex's eyes,

Alex began to read the technique information. Astral Body Art was broken down into nine steps. The first and second steps were unlocked, but the remaining steps were locked, which perplexed Alex.
"How come it's locked?" Alex thought, trying to understand why the other steps were locked, he pressed into the third step panel that said locked.
[The host must reach the Core Formation realm to access the third step.] A new notification appeared in front of his eyes.
"So I can't access them now, what a disappointment," Alex grumbled, "Well, let's learn the other two steps first."
His eyes trailed downward as he started to read the technique. Alex soon fell into a trance as he read the technique. Several hours passed by before he finally snapped out of his trance.
"How profound... wait, how long have I been studying this for?" exclaimed Alex as he looked out of the nearby window. The sun was still up when Alex had started reading the technique, but now it was already nighttime.
"Wow! What an incredible technique." Alex thought to himself. Even if he couldn't read the other steps, Alex was astounded by the first two. The Astral Body Technique was a technique that allowed his body to have the power of a star. Yes, a star!
The first step, Astral Aura, could cover his entire body in Qi, boosting all of his stats, including defense, attack, agility, and so on. The technique even explained that after reaching a higher stage, Alex could create an armor using only his Qi that was stronger than a Tier 8 defensive armor.
After mastering Astral Aura, the second step was even crazier. The second step of Astral Body Art, Astral Fist, was the first offensive body technique Alex learned and the strongest technique thus far. To cut a long story short, if Alex mastered the technique to its full potential, he could destroy the entire world with just his fist That was due to Astral Fist's ability to unleash powerful waves of astral energy capable of traveling at breakneck speeds and wreaking havoc. This technique was clearly designed for him who possessed Destruction Qi.
With only a little knowledge of the second step, Alex was confident that no first- or third-stage Qi Gathering realm cultivators were his opponents; he was even confident he would not lose to a fourth stage Qi Gathering.
Alex sat cross-legged on his bed, still trying to grasp the first and second steps of the Astral body art. As Alex immersed himself in cultivation, time passed.
"I've finally mastered the first and second steps," Alex said, slowly opening his eyes. He looked out the windows; the sky had turned orange as the sun set, and the stars twinkled in the night sky.
"How long has it been?"
[The host had been cultivating for two days]," the system responded.
"That much!" Alex exclaimed as he rolled out of bed that it was the first time he had stayed in such deep cultivation for such an extended period of time.
"Grrr"
Suddenly, his stomach grumbled. "I haven't eaten anything since two days ago. I still need to practice my sword technique, but first I should eat something." Before heading to the inn restaurant, Alex took a bath.
After taking a bath, Alex changed into another set of his favorite black clothes and went to the inn restaurant to refuel before continuing his training.
People laughed as they drank and ate their meals, and the aroma of the food wafted through the air. When Alex arrived, he sat at a table in the corner and observed the crowd.
Not long after he sat down, a young woman approached him and asked, "Hello, dear guest, how may I assist you?" The young lady inquired.
"Can I have roasted shade weasel, smoked sun rabbit, and golden seared grave colt?"
"Your order will be ready in a few minutes, dear guest," the young woman said as she wrote down what Alex had requested.
Alex's food was quickly delivered to his table. Something caught Alex's ear as he began to eat. Three men sat at the table in front of him. They were speaking in hushed tones, but Alex's hearing allowed him to understand them clearly.
"Oh, that's interesting." Alex smirked, his eyes shining brighter as he listened to what the three men were saying.
