Soon four days passed and Alex heard a commotion outside his house. Due to the Rank 2 Gathering Array, he managed to reach 3-Star Qi Gathering Stage within four days. This should be enough to show the change to Qian Yu's family, so they wouldn't bother him anymore.

This wouldn't be possible in a normal way, so they should believe that there was an immortal master that backed Alex up in the shadow.

After hearing the commotion, Alex came out of the pavilion, finding that his maid had increased one level, reaching 5-Star Qi Gathering Stage. Meanwhile, there were three people in front of his pavilion. Two of them were Qian Yu and Tiashan, while the other seemed to be a member of the Qin Family.

His cultivation was merely a 5-Star Qi Gathering Stage like Qin Ke'er, so he didn't even put him in his eyes.

"Qin Hua! How dare you to let Young Lady Qian Yu wait for you!" The man shouted, trying to act cool by fighting the injustice.

However, Qian Yu and Tiashan saw through Alex and his maid's cultivation. It was obvious that compared to yesterday, one of them had increased one level and the other one reached 3-Star Qi Gathering Stage.

From this alone, they concluded that someone powerful was indeed behind Alex. After all, not a single person could increase his cultivation by two stars in just one night even with pills.

Tiashan could only sigh inwardly, wondering what he should do to fix this broken relationship.

On the other hand, Qian Yu walked forward before taking out the document, politely handing it to him. It was humiliating for her, but what could she do in this situation?

"Young Master Qin… This is the engagement document. Qian Yu doesn't dare to hold it and ask Young Master Qin to keep it."

"Wha—" The young man beside her gasped and took one step back, not believing what happened.

"Young Lady. This Qin… This Lan Hua is just a commoner. I don't deserve the young lady. As such, I don't dare to hold this marriage document." Alex stated with a calm expression.

"!!!" This created another wave of confusion for all people in the area. For his mother, it was as if recognizing her family name, which meant that Qin Hua or Lan Hua had decided to separate himself from the Qin Family.

For Qian Yu and Taishan, this could also become an opportunity to mend the relationship and have him marry into the family. At that time, their family would rise.

On the contrary, someone from the same family member as him laughed and ridiculed him. "Lan Hua? Haha, to think you recognize your own talent and decide to go this way. I will report this to the family head and elders to erase your name from the family register."

When she heard that, his mother could only close her eyes as if she had decided. "I'm sorry, Hua."

"There is nothing to worry, Mother. Hua will prove that the Qin Family is not worthy of being even your pet in the future." Alex smiled and scared Qian Yu and Tianshang again since the other guy already departed to inform the elders.

"This…Young Master Qi… Young Master Lan. How about coming to my Qian Family? Qian Yu would like to apologize for her wrongdoing to Young Master Lan." Qian Yu was quick-witted and took advantage of the situation after a tug from Tianshan.

Unfortunately, Alex politely rejected her, saying that he had accommodation ready. It wasn't like they were going to stay here forever.

Of course, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

This was Alex's plan to force the City Lord, the Qian Family, the Qin Family to remain silent. The Qin Family thought that Qin Hua leaving meant they didn't need to worry about him anymore since he was useless. The Qian Family could only regret that they couldn't mend the relationship and realized that they couldn't touch him no matter the case.

If they let their pride take over their rationality, they would be done by Alex's mysterious master, so their patriarch decided to stop meddling with Alex because no matter what they did, his master would find out.

Rather than getting their family destroyed, the patriarch chose to survive by continuing the relationship between the Qian Family and the City Lord.

As for the City Lord, they heard from the Qin Family that Alex was too embarrassed to get back his certificate and became the focus of ridicule in this city.

However, only the Qian Family understood that Alex was the biggest winner. He became the target of ridicule and did nothing was due to him not caring about the worldly affair anymore.

Of course, Alex did the same. He was inside the Illusion Array this whole time, so he didn't have a desire to kill the enemies, knowing that they were just fake people.

Instead of going to search for trouble, he became himself and avoided all of them by simply hiding inside his room all the time. He only went out to exchange for Spirit Stones or something.

Thus, Alex completed his task within six months. Although he cheated his way a bit with his special way of cultivating that defied Heaven even though he was supposed to venture to the mountain and kill those people, the Illusion Array seemed to recognize it as completed.

Alex gradually opened his eyes and looked around the empty room. "I'm back! Ha, that was tiring and boring. Well, I chose the safest route in that place, so I guess there were not many actions.

"Still, I learned a few things inside there which might become useful in the near future." Alex smirked before he searched for the vault key. However, Alex stored it instead of using it since he planned to go to another tower.

He opened the door and came out of the room, meeting AI again.

"Congratulations for conquering the third test."

"I'm going straight to the fourth test."

"Confirming… You are going to challenge the fighting test?"

"Yes. I have no time to delay." Alex nodded. Considering he spent six months refining the flower and another six months in the peaceful world, he still had two whole years to spend, so if he could do this one within a year, there was a chance he could finish this inheritance before he even needed to go back.

"Please proceed to the next building," said AI while walking toward the giant cube. "In the fourth stage, there will be a doll that shows you how to control your Space Element in offensive and defensive ways.

"There are only four basic moves: Forming, Transforming, Solidifying, Covering. You will understand it after you go in."

Alex listened to him with curiosity as he entered a white cube with enough lighting. Just like what AI said, there was a doll inside that seemed to be similar to AI himself and acted as his guide today.

When the door was closed, the puppet emitted Divine Energy as it looked around, finding Alex. After looking upside down a few times, the puppet spoke. "Only Space Element is allowed here. Any other kinds of power will be considered as breaking the rule and disqualified."

Alex narrowed his eyes and expected an explanation, but the puppet suddenly leaped toward him and threw a fist.

"…" Alex widened his eyes and felt the fluctuation of Space Energy. He leaped back to avoid the charge before raising his vision.

The fluctuation of Space Energy made it look like there was a big hammer above his head that suddenly struck his head and pinned him to the ground.

"Forming is the basic skill to form an object within the Space World. This can only be achieved by mastering the control of Space Element." The puppet said after cracking the ground with that attack along with Alex himself.

"Kh." Alex never thought that he would be hit by a puppet, yet, he couldn't say anything since the puppet had the same strength as him.

If this were a real fight, he wouldn't have trouble killing it, but other than bursting the space energy in a certain place, Alex didn't have any other skill to put into use. Hence, he felt happy even though he was beaten by a puppet, knowing that there would be an improvement.

He widened his eyes to make sure there wasn't a single thing he missed.

After rising from the ground, the puppet showed him the second move by concentrating the Space Energy above his hand and launched it like a tornado.

However, what Alex saw was nothing but a black hole. That tornado sucked the surrounding energy and created a chaotic atmosphere, so Alex jumped to the side as fast as he could, avoiding the powerful energy.

Without giving any chance, the puppet waved its hand as a claw formed out of nowhere. It had a pink translucent color and extraordinary energy that seemed to be similar to that of the earlier attack.

He felt there was going to be something big happening if this attack hit him, so Alex dodged it again, albeit barely.

As if predicting Alex's movement, the puppet suddenly appeared next to Alex, trying to punch him in the chest.

Alex raised both hands to protect his body but soon noticed something different from any punches he had ever faced.

"What? It doesn't hit me?" He widened his eyes when he felt the impact despite the puppet's hand not touching him. He then realized that this was the last move, covering.

The puppet controlled Space Energy to enveloped its body so the fist wouldn't touch Alex despite the power being transmitted.

"This is the last move, Covering. You can use it to attack your opponent or defend your body. You are required to learn all these four basic moves and defeat me with four basic techniques to complete this test."

"…" Alex narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Huft. Was there a need to attack me like this, though?"
