Assassin!.
"Ahhh... this is life. Finally, I've cleared all the tiredness from my body." Alex closed his eyes while in the bath, allowing himself to relax completely. He wanted to spend the next few hours in pure relaxation, not thinking about anything at all.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
The sound of water droplets hitting the floor caught Alex's attention as he moved his hands slightly.
Just as he opened his eyes, a strange notification appeared in his mind.
---
[Congratulations! You have used Aura Weaponizing Technique. Aura Weaponizing Technique (2nd Level)]
---
Alex was surprised by the sudden notification, but he simply closed his eyes again.
"Well, whatever." He shrugged it off and let himself sink into relaxation.
Unbeknownst to him, his nonchalant words had significant consequences.
Behind a door leading to the bath area, a shadowy figure lay trembling on the floor. Sweat trickled down from their body as they observed Alex closely.
"(He noticed me...)" The figure's thoughts raced as fear gripped them. They swiftly left the area, their unease growing stronger.
"Yo." A cold voice suddenly echoed in the room.
"AGH!!! [Sky Splitting Slash]" The shadowy figure swung a dagger behind them in a desperate attempt to defend themselves.
CLING!
Alex's quick reflexes had him catch the dagger easily, preventing it from reaching him.
"Calm down, dude... or girl, whoever you are. I don't intend to kill you." Alex smiled, looking at the shadowy figure.
The figure hesitated for a moment and then decided to reveal their identity by pulling down their black mask.
However, as the mask was lowered, a small knife came hurtling toward Alex's face.
CLING!
"Huh... why do you do this ma— oh, a lady." Alex realized that the shadowy figure was actually a purple-haired woman in her twenties to mid-twenties, with captivating purple eyes. Despite the situation, he found her appearance quite cute.
"(Damn it, the information was wrong! Damn!)" The purple-haired woman finally grasped that she was completely outmatched and decided to flee.
BOOOOM!!!
She lunged towards the exit, but before she could make it far, Alex was right beside her, preventing her escape.
BANG!!
Alex's swift movements allowed him to close the distance instantly. He placed her in a hold, effectively immobilizing her.
"Lady, I told you I wouldn't kill you or anything. Just tell me who sent you here." Alex's voice was firm but not aggressive. He didn't want unnecessary trouble and the commotion of killing someone in a city could attract unwanted attention.
"Aghggh..." The purple-haired woman struggled, but Alex's grip was unyielding, and her body wouldn't obey her attempts to break free.
"(What martial arts move is this?)" She was taken aback, realizing that she was completely overpowered by Alex's skills.
Alex's hand lock restricted her movement, and she found herself unable to resist any longer.
"Will you promise to let me go after I tell you?" Her voice was sweet and melodious, carrying an enchanting quality that seemed to hypnotize anyone who heard it.
"Yes, I promise. I swear on whatever god you believe in that I will let you go," Alex replied earnestly, his gaze focused on her.
"Alright." Trembling, the purple-haired woman gave in.
Alex loosened his grip and smiled, and in that moment, he seemed to radiate an aura of reliability and trustworthiness.
BANG!!!
But moment he let her go she immediately threw her feet at Alex.
CLING!
Alex didn't even move he cougt the feet effortlessly.
"OH my god, What an unreasonable person, i am getting annoyed now, i said i would let you go, But now you either say something Or die." Alex released his newfound technique, Aura Weaponizing Technique, he felt he released some kind of aura that even the room was shaking, and he only saw red lightning time by time from his Aura. He looked over and nodded in satisfaction, "(This is a good technique)" for some reason, red lightning flashes were the only thing he felt, not even knowing what purple haired girl was feeling right now at this time.
"(Wow, I'm going to die if I make one wrong move...)" Fear gripped her heart, and for the first time, she experienced pressure that exceeded even that of her own leader.
"(How is this even possible? Isn't he around my age?)" Her thoughts were in turmoil as she came to terms with the fact that she was facing an opponent far stronger than she had anticipated.
"I will say what you want." She decided to give in.
Alex smiled and removed his Technique.

[Congratulations! You have used Aura Weaponizing Technique to Intimidate. Body Refinement: Inner Body Refinement Cultivator. Aura Weaponizing Technique (2nd Level) → Aura Weaponizing Technique (3rd Level)]
---
Alex glanced at the notification and pondered, "(So, using techniques repeatedly improves them and makes me stronger? I need to experiment with this later.)"
"Okay, now, Lady..."
"Yuanzi Fenying. My name is Yuanzi Fenying," she introduced herself.
"Alright, then let's sit down and talk." Alex stood up, realizing that he was still in a towel. He smiled somewhat awkwardly and got dressed before sitting back down.
--
Alex was now fully clothed, listening intently as Yuanzi Fenying shared her story.
"But before we continue, can I call you Fenying?" Alex asked with a friendly tone, making sure she felt more at ease.
Fenying nodded, her expression more relaxed. She began her tale, "I am from the Flower Assassin Association, a secret organization that carries out the dirty work of the Five Main Sects. I was hired to eliminate you, Zhi Li." She explained, her voice filled with a mix of tension and resignation.
Alex's confusion deepened. Assassination attempts on him? But why? And who would order such a thing?
"Who placed the order on my head?" Alex's voice turned cold as he demanded an answer from Fenying.
Terrified, Fenying let out a shriek, feeling an intense cold aura emanating from Alex. Her heart pounded as she realized she was facing something beyond her comprehension.
"I... I don't know. I'm just a bronze-level Assassin. Only Diamond-level operatives can see the individuals who issue assassination orders," Fenying stammered, struggling to speak clearly amidst the suffocating pressure.
Alex recognized that his aura was affecting her and quickly calmed down. "I'm sorry for that, Lady Fenying. Thank you for your information. As promised, you are free to go," he reassured her.
Fenying opened her mouth to say something but then bit her lip in hesitation.
Alex stood up and decided to leave the bath. He had already spent enough time here, and staying in a city where he had nearly been assassinated was uncomfortable.
BANG!!
A sudden noise made Alex turn around. To his surprise, Fenying was now kneeling on the ground, bowing so deeply that the room itself seemed to tremble.
"What the...?" Alex was utterly bewildered by this unexpected turn of events.
"What the hell are you doing, Fenying?" He couldn't help but ask, genuinely puzzled by her actions.
Fenying's voice trembled as she spoke from her bowed position, "Please, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE ME AS YOUR DISCIPLE, MASTER! I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE THE DESTINED PERSON I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. MY HEART TELLS ME I NEED TO FOLLOW YOU. I CAN BE ANYTHING—CLEANER, MAID, COOK—SO PLEASE, TAKE ME AS YOUR DISCIPLE, MASTER!"
Alex was now even more confused. "What the fuck?"

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Alex was utterly bewildered by this unexpected and cryptic message.
