Alex woke up early in the morning, completely revitalized after breaking through.
Pearl was still cultivating and there were cuts all over his body, but they didn't hurt him at all. After all, his body cultivation had already exceeded Pearl's own cultivation thanks to the clash of yang and yin.
"True King 7th realm," he thought to himself. "3 more breakthroughs and I enter the True Emperor realm as well."
When that happened, Alex wondered if he would be the strongest under the Saint realm.
'Probably not,' he thought. There was too much of a gap between the True Emperor realms themselves due to the existence of Saint Qi.
Alex woke Pearl up from the cultivation and went over to the Elder's hall to register himself as a referee.
He got the 9 to 3 schedule for Stage 12 and was handed a talisman that was used to keep track of the fighters.
Once it was time, disciples came in one by one to fight.
