\'Sure.\'

\'Why are you carrying a spear? If I am not wrong, that spear is a Divine Weapon, right?\' She was perplexed by this because it wasn\'t normal to bring a few types of weapons with them, especially if they didn\'t use them.

Hearing this question, Alex realized she was talking about the spear he used to stop Andre from biting the poison bag to kill himself. He then explained. \'It\'s not a big deal for me. Even though I handle my sword very well, it doesn\'t mean my knowledge is limited only to a sword.\'

\'Hmm?\' She tilted her head in confusion. \'Then do you have a Spear Intent as well?"\'

\'You are missing my point. What I want to explain to you is that you shouldn\'t focus on one thing. Learn your enemies, and you shall win. If I know the range of the spear, the power of a Divine Spear, and other things, I can understand how much power I should use to deflect, block, or clash with the spear.

\'The same applies to other weapons. I can show you that I bring Divine Bow, Mace, and any other things. I use them to learn everything I need to know, including how to defeat them.

\'For an example. I used my spear to stop that Andre, right? It was simply because I knew that the spear had a perfect length to do since if I insert a sword inside his mouth, he will kill himself with my own sword.\'

\'Ah?!\' She was shocked. This was the first time someone had explained this to her. All she knew from childhood was that she didn\'t need to learn anything other than the sword because it would waste her time and a person who could succeed in cultivating two weapons at the same time has yet to be born according to her family.

However, with Alex\'s explanation that told her to know them more to defeat them, she could understand and relate to what he meant. Alex had a different thought about it, and that made him strong.

If she could defeat someone with another type of weapon in the most efficient way because she understood how they worked, it would be the most amazing thing to do.

She felt ashamed at this point, thinking that Alex might be able to use a spear at a high degree of proficiency. And it almost hit her heart because she thought Alex was far more monstrous than she thought.

Alex, on the other hand, had prepared this explanation since the beginning. After all, he surely wanted an excuse that could be used to play dumb in case something like this happened. Of course, he didn\'t tell her a single lie.

He indeed studied other weapons to increase his knowledge about them. That was why he could come on top every single time. It wasn\'t just because of his overwhelming power. Knowing what to expect from the opponent and how to defeat it played a big part in this matter.

\'I am sorry.\'

\'What for?\' Alex was baffled by the sudden apology. She shouldn\'t have something to apologize for, so he was afraid if this would affect her heart in this mission.

\'Nothing. I just want to say sorry for a dumb question like that. I will be working on this type of knowledge since it can be applied to fight those element users and any other types of cultivators. If I have enough understanding of them, I can beat them in an efficient way. It\'s a kind of learning how the monsters will act…To think I didn\'t know about this until now, I am ashamed.\' She looked down, blaming herself.

\'You are doing just fine. This will take time after all. Even my disciple hasn\'t learned this since I am planning to cram the knowledge when they reach God Rank Expert since those who have reached this stage are a kind of master of their own fighting style.\' Alex shrugged.

He told the truth this time also. With the knowledge from the inheritance, he could understand most parts for other weapons. He learned this when he spent those ten years inside the Time Room.

\'I see. I will put this aside for now since you said so.\' She nodded.

\'Yeah. You can focus on your cultivation for now because this is the most important thing you need to do. When you reach Rank 10 God, you will realize how hard it is to advance to Rank 9 God. That\'s why expertise and knowledge are more important at this point. And with the big gap between each Rank, you need at least to be at the top of your own rank. In other words, if you are a Rank 10 God, no Rank 10 God can defeat you. This is my first motive.\'

\'I understand. I shall work on it. Thank you for the advice.\'

Alex smiled, knowing that the problem had been resolved. After discussing this, Aria fell into deep thought, so he was the one focusing on the planning.

Alex chose to not say anything after this because the major plan was already according to his most effective tactic, while the minor details were something that could be adjusted during the campaign itself.

The discussion went for another hour before they finalized the plan. Alcea didn\'t forget to ask Alex about the details, but Alex politely declined to say anything about the plan because it didn\'t really matter.

She could only accept that answer reluctantly and dismissed everyone from the room, so they could go according to the schedule tomorrow.

Alex and Aria then returned to their room. Since their room was separated, Alex used this chance to finally have a full conversation for the mission with his Sword Spirit.

"Eve, are you there?" Alex took out his new sword.

The sword released its energy before a black ball emerged from it and turned into a figure. Unlike the previous style, her clothes had changed into a black gothic style princess, albeit her figure remained the same.

"I am here, Master."

"How are you doing inside the Inventory?"

"That place is a separate space from this world, so at first, I am baffled with it. I have seen the space inside the Space Ring as well, so I know that the one in the Inventory is better for me. It\'s more spacious and comfortable, albeit I wish Master could bring me in your waist or something, so I can see the outside world," Eve explained.

"I see. Well, this world is special, so I guess I can do that. However, I don\'t know whether I can carry you with me the whole time because I need to hide my identity most of the time."

"I understand. It isn\'t really that much different being in a cave, but it\'s better than being stuck there. I just hope that Master can take me out from time to time."

"I can do that." Alex nodded.

"Then, I don\'t mind staying in the Inventory."

"For now, you don\'t need to. You have a scabbard, right? I will use it and carry you along with me. However, since no one knows about the Sword Spirit, if possible, don\'t show yourself without my permission."

"Sure. I can still see the world that way and send a thought transmission to Master to talk from time to time." She nodded, hesitated for a second, and apologized. "Master, I want to apologize for something."

"What is it?"

"Do you remember the fact that the original consciousness is the result of Dragon and Phoenix Energy?"

"Yes."

"Because I am an entirely separate entity, I don\'t have that kind of energy. In other words, in your spear later, it has a concentrated Dragon and Phoenix Energy. Meanwhile, I only have killing intent and bloodlust. If you are using that, I can enhance it even further to scare your enemies."

"So, why did you even apologize to me? Was it because of the Dragon and Phoenix Energy?"

She nodded.

"It\'s fine. I don\'t really mind that. I have something I want to test, but I guess that can wait."

"I came to this world two weeks ago, and all we did was adjust my current state with the new weapon and increase the synchronization between us to efficiently use my power. We haven\'t really tried your Sword Techniques."

"Yeah. I am wondering what kind of power you will have if I use that."

"Ah, you have told me about this technique. It seems I can turn into a dragon because of this technique. And due to your elements, I can control the dragon like it\'s my own body and mimic a dragon\'s ability like using your Fire Element to breathe fire or something else." She nodded, explaining what she might be able to do.

"I see. That\'s kind of useful in a fight." Alex nodded with a serious expression.

"There is one more thing, I guess." She hesitated for a second. "You should know that the energy from a Divine Weapon can be used, right?"

"Yes. It\'s quite big for a power reserve, allowing me to not use all of my power just to use one technique."

"Actually, when I am in the Dragon State, I can use the sword\'s energy or your energy to be a flying dragon. You can hop on my back and relax. Of course, since Master can use Teleportation Array, I am not really that important, but when you can\'t use it, I think I am a better way for transportation since my speed is a little bit faster than you. Well, I can see the world in that state, so I don\'t really mind." She smirked.

"Win-win situation, eh?" Alex smiled back. "I don\'t really mind. I know for the fact that there are cultivators who are using their Sword to fly, albeit not in this world. Either way, flying with my own Sword Technique doesn\'t sound that bad."

"Hehe. That\'s great."

"Anyway, this might be the first time I will use you to kill."

"Yes, please use me to your heart content. With this new body, I doubt there is something that can shatter me. In fact, I can destroy a Rank 8 Weapon in one or two strikes with the help of your power."

"That\'s something I love to hear, albeit it\'s better to not show your power this early. After all, it will incite the greed of many people. I don\'t want to get into trouble."

"Yes, sir!"

"By the way, how are the two consciousness?"

"They have been nurtured according to my way. From what I can see, they are already a strong consciousness, considering they are coming from a Martial Saint expert. If I am not wrong, you can use the spear in six months of this world\'s time, and the Sword Spirit will be formed in one year. Although they will have a figure like mine, they still have little control of their strength, so it\'s better if you are a bit patient to handle them."

"The time is not too bad. I will be staying in this world for another one year and four months, so I guess I will have a perfect pair of weapons for me."

"Yes, I can assure you they will be ready by then. I will also help them after Mistress Lin Xingzhi sent the spear here."

"Thank you." Alex nodded.

"It\'s fine. I am doing it because I like it." She smirked. "After all, these two are like my son and daughter…Or should I say they are brother and sister? Either way, they are twins."

"Considering your age that is far above me, I guess you can become their parents, but in terms of figure, it\'s more to a brother and sister."

"I shall be their elder sister then."

"Good."
