Gacha Sovereign

68 Last Gacha

A book appeared from the ball.

[Sky Movement (SR) Acquired]

"Super Rare!" Alex was joyful when he saw the announcement. Though these five times draw guarantee at least a rare item, he never thought he can get an SR item in the first try because back on Earth he never got lucky using this kind of gacha. Poor him.

He took out the book from the inventory.

'Sky Movement' was written on the cover. He then proceeded to the first page.

"There are 5 types of steps for this sky movement, they are Immovable Step, Fleeting Step, Flash Step, Heavy Step, and Sky Step.

Immovable step and Fleeting Step, these two-steps was focusing on two opposite purposes. The immovable step was to channel the power in your step to give you more power or bind you to the ground. In conclusion, as the name implies the immovable step was a kind of step that makes you be immovable. In contrast to the immovable step, this fleeting step was focusing on unpredictable movement to dodge the opponent.

The same as the two, Flash Step and Heavy Step were the opposite of each other. Flash step make the user moving like a feather, without weight. This will make the user speed faster up to four times if mastered completely. As for the heavy step, it makes the user gains the weight of a mountain if mastered at the highest stage.

As for the last sky step... after mastering the four steps before, the user will be able to move whether in the sky or in the water like moving on the ground. The user might fly in the sky or the user might swim in the sea, with sky step the user will felt moving in the sky or in the sea become those moving on the ground thus making a better maneuver and movement. All in all every step have 5 stages"

"..." Alex was a little confused in this round about explanation.

"Well to summarize, Immovable step makes you stood still, Fleeting step makes you unpredictable, Flash Step makes you lighter, Heavy Step makes you heavier, and Sky Step make you feel like you are on the ground in every terrain..." Alex contemplated. "Where exactly the 'Sky' in this all five-step..."

"Maybe... the one who wrote this just want a cool name..."

Alex shook his head, "Whatever, Let's try this sky movement tomorrow. I will borrow teacher courtyard to train this movement technique"

Alex went back to cultivate.

Tomorrow, After the class Alex borrow the dean courtyard, the dean was surprised. He thought Alex would like to do some alchemy or forging again. Turned out Alex want to practice his movement technique. Of course, he gives his courtyard without hesitation.

But before he went to the courtyard, he passes a rank 2 pill recipe, Quenching Fire Pill.

"I can somehow buy all the ingredients with my connection except this Fire Miletonia Herb. I don't know if any of my connections have this herb. Don't worry, I will inform you if I get all of the ingredients"

"Thank you, teacher" Alex thanked him and left.

Alex then decided to practice the first step of the sky movement, The immovable step.

"Converting the step to power. It boost the user defense or offense depending on how you use it. the first stage was to use the mana to power the body to hold the step power..."

Every time he recalled this, he always confused. He just can't understand the meaning. Currently, he only understands this immovable step was like his boost step except he can use it without his fire magic. He can only follow the instruction from the book.

Since this immovable step was similar with his boost step, he enters the first stage of immovable step with just a day. He also noticed the power of this immovable step, it only extorted one times of his power, unlike his boost step that can amplify his power a few times with momentum. But in the long run, his boost step will be more useless.

The reason was simple, he can use an explosion to boost his momentum. But if he get stronger and stronger, doesn't that mean he needs a bigger and bigger explosion to get the speed. What will happen if his pure speed alone has reached the speed of sound? Thought it sound absurd, he still thought about this, ...maybe he needed an explosion as big as a nuclear missile?

With this immovable step, it will evolve along with the raise of his power. That means this technique was related to his foundation, not an external force like his boost step.

He continue to practice this immovable step for a week and finally moved to the second stage and grant him 1,5 times of his pure power. He decided to stop practicing the immovable step for a while, he continued to the second step, Fleeting Step.

Alex looked at the footwork drawn in the book. At first, Alicia and Firia sometime laughed at him. The reason was that when he practiced this step. He often tripped or bumped to the wall. This was a rare sight for them, they never saw the powerful and cool headed Alex tripped or bumped like this. But soon, they started to stop laughing even when Alex tripped, etc.

They suddenly become ashamed. They realize they still not bringing their best effort practicing. After looking at Alex training over and over, they only see the gallant Alex who was powerful in their eyes and the other eyes. They never saw how much Alex practice to become like that. They only see the result, not the process itself.

They soon a hard working person. Even after Alex advise them to take a break or went back to their room. They still practice until late, they always went back together with Alex now. Of course, sometimes Alex also needed to carry them back to their room if the practice they did was truly tough.

After another week, Alex succeeds in reaching the first stage of the fleeting step. Alex's movement more and more become liquid, his movement become more nimble and agile. But there is one significant different, when Alicia and Firia have a spar with him, they can't hit him or rather they were confused with Alex's movement. It is true that they can't hit him, with just the difference with their and his speed alone, they really can't hit him. Adding this complicated and unpredictable movement, before they realized they were already on the ground.

Alex decided to reach the first stage first for all his steps before continuing to the second stage. But since the immovable step was something that he familiar with, it was already advanced to the second stage.

"The third step, Flash Step. It made the user lighter, thus resulting in a faster movement. The same principle when you run with 100kg weight and 200kg weight, obviously when you run with 100kg weight, it will be faster than when you run with 200kg weight. A very simple explanation" Alex nodded then start to practice this movement and it took him another week to reach the first stage

When he used this technique, his body felt lighter. Alex's movement when dodging becomes like a feather who easily dodge because of the wind pressure before it was hit. Every time he used this technique, he felt his body become twice lighter.

"According to the book, If I reach the first stage, it will make me twice lighter thus boosting my speed. If I reach the second stage, it will make me four times lighter. Then in the final stage, my body will be as light as a feather."

"The fourth step, Heavy Step. This step was the opposite of the third step, Flash Step. This step made the user heavier. While it restricting the movement, it will give the power of mountains if mastered up to the five stages."

Alex reached the first stage with just a week. The average speed for him reaching the first stage was one week. But the problem is when he practicing this heavy step, he broke many floor and there are still a few crack on the ground in his teacher courtyard. His teacher can only sigh as he called someone to repair it, so Alex can brea- cough, used it again.

And now he reached for the last step of all. The requirement of this step was mastering the first four steps. That means, if Alex wanted to reach the first stage of this step, he needed to be at least reaching the first stage of the other four steps first.

This time Alex took two weeks to reach the first stage. Alex now can step in the air like he was on the ground, though he can only use it briefly, it was really useful. Alex has tried to stand in the air, he tries it on a half meter above ground. Alicia and Firia were shocked by this, they thought Alex can fly. But soon, he fell to the ground, exhausted. To held himself in the air took a toll on his mana. If he only needed to step for maneuver, it might not take him that much mana. But this time, he used it to float.

Alicia and Firia thought Alex was already so powerful because the basic requirements to fly are at least rank 7 and adept in mana. Alex explained to them, all of this was achieved by his movement technique. They want to learn this movement technique which Alex gave them. Alicia and Firia start to practice this particular movement technique.

Alex sometimes instructs them with his own shallow experiences, but it was still useful than nothing. After Alex reached the first stage of this sky step. He wanted to continue to the second stage. But this time, the dean called him to his office.

"Teacher" Alex was in a joyful mood since he reached the first stage of his sky step.

"I have gathered all the ingredients for your Quenching Fire Pill. Except for the Fire Miletonia Herb that I previously said."

"I see" Alex was a bit disappointed that the last herb was still not found. But he already thankful enough for his teacher that already gathered all these herbs.

"But..."

Alex looked at his teacher that still hasn't finished his sentences.

"I found the Fire Miletonia Herb whereabout"

"Then!" Alex was hopeful for this herb now, his previous disappointment vanished to the air.

"Actually I wanted to collect the herb itself, but I refrain from doing that. I will give a test for you, go collect this herb yourself. This herb was spotted beside a waterfall in Celestial Forest. This forest doesn't possess that much danger. The king of this forest was only a rank 6 monster. The same with our night forest. The one guarding this herb was only a rank 5 fox according to the report.

Oh, I almost forgot. There are fifty rank 2 restoration pills that I made these past months in this bag. Bring this with you. And be careful" The dean handed him a small pouch for him.

"Teacher" Alex was really moved by this.

"Now go back to prepare, you will go tomorrow and also don't take too long outside. In one month, there will be a test for grade promotion. Though the test only checked your rank, the passing grade was only rank 2. Since you already reached that long ago you won't have any issue with that. You only need to go along with the formalities.

After the test, there will be a ranking competition with your fellow students. The purpose was to rank the new second-grade student and I know you won't care about that...sigh"

"I will go back in one month" Alex nodded and left.

But there is one miscalculation the dean made this time.
