A week passed since Alex and Pearl came out to train. Alex didn't fight most of the time, leaving Pearl to pick up the slack since he was the one they were here for.
It had been about 23 months since Alex and Pearl left the Demon Realm. When they had entered it nearly 5 years ago, Alex had been at True Master's 9th realm, and Pearl had been in True Lord 5th realm.
Now, Alex was in True Lord 9th realm, and Pearl was in True King 2nd realm. Given their comparison, Pearl really was slow.
He was still just as fast as most of those that were considered talented in the empire. Given his lack of resources, he was perhaps even faster.
However, given the fact that he used to keep up with Alex in cultivation back when they were in the common realms, Alex felt a little bad when he saw Pearl's cultivation slow down.
"We will have to train a lot," Alex said softly as he watched Pearl fight someone stronger than him.
