Nine Disciples

"Can you give me some privacy with them?" Alex said to Hall as soon as they arrived in the room.

"Of Course," Hall said confusingly and left the room with the receptionist.

"You too Jeffrey," Alex looked at Jeffrey.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Alex waited until Jeffrey left and spread his soul energy throughout the room preventing people from listening in on what he was saying.

The Eight people looked confused but stayed where they were and waited for Alex to start speaking. Alex sat on the couch and looked at the eight standing in front of him. Six males and two females, each with their own characteristics.

"You may think that I chose you all randomly, and if you do, you couldn't be more wrong," Alex looked closely at their reactions as he spoke.

"I chose all of you because of your talents," Alex said slowly as he looked at his tea. The eight listened carefully and didn't say a word, this affected their future so they were naturally serious.

"I chose you all because out of all the other, only you caught my eyes."

"I chose you all because you have the most potential, able to reach a high realm in a short time."

"I chose you all because in two years, I will battle for the throne and need reliable people by my side."

"I chose you all because I can cultivate you, giving you more power and status than anyone else."

"If you follow me, I can promise we'll stand at the top of this world."

Alex saw the many changes that happened in their expressions as he spoke, surprise, hope, suspicion, hesitation. A black seal appeared in Alex's hand, "This is the Master-Disciple Seal, A treasure tool."

The eight looked at the seal in amazement, they had never seen a treasure tool before, only hearing of them.

"This treasure tool has one Master seal and Nine Disciple seals. This seal is indestructible, binding the fates of both master and disciples, only removable after one's death. I have already bonded the Master seal, I want to take you all as my Disciples. Don't Worry, You can't be forced if you don't want to."

Alex looked at the eight and waited for their response. Hesitation resonated all over their face. Alex stepped up and released his Demigod Aura, stunning the eight. They quickly backed up.

"This year I am 14, having already reached the Demigod realm."

This shocked the eight, they were all around 16 and 17and had never cultivated, but they knew that reaching the Demigod realm at 14 was a genius feat.

A handsome young man stepped up in excitement, "Can I become strong like that too?"

He had spikey black hair and bangs hanging in front of his eyes, which matched his hair. His light pale skin complexion and innocent and kind face reminded Alex of Goku from his old world. This and his talent were one of the reasons Alex chose him. He couldn't help but get excited thinking if he could get a real life Goku figure on his team.

"Yes!" Alex said firmly.

The young man was visibly excited, "Then I accept, I will be your Disciple."

"Haha Good, good." Alex flicked the first seal towards the young man's head. The seal disappeared into his head and Alex and the Young Man could immediately feel a connection between them.

"Great, As my First Disciple, I naturally have to shower you with gifts."

Alex opened his hand and the balls of lights appeared in the air, a white and two crimson balls. These were the Saiyan spirit, Crimson Knight Fighting Suit, and the Crimson Knight Fighting Manual.

The Saiyan Spirit flew towards the young man and merged into his body before a battle-thirsty aura radiated from his body, the young man looked like he wanted to fight a City-Shaking battle. The Crimson Knight Fighting Suit followed right after the Saiyan Spirit and fell on the young man's body, shrinking to fit him comfortably. The Crimson Knight Fighting Manual went into the young man's head, disappearing, the young man's whole demeanor changed. He seemed like a new person, A Warrior.

"Good," Alex looked at the change that transferred around the young man, "From now on, you shall go by Dragon Sr."

Dragon Sr looked up at Alex in acknowledgment before looking at the rest of the seven, "You all better step up and follow my step, this is a great opportunity. Let me tell you, the fighting suit and manual I just got are at the inheritance level, something only God Monarchs and Devil Emperors have." Dragon Sr looked at them like he was helping fellow juniors make a choice.

Alex's face remained unchanged but deep inside, he was crying. How did I know that It was at the inheritance level? If I knew, I would have used it the moment I got it from the system.

A large man seemed to take Dragon Sr's words to heart and stepped forward. He was twice the size of everyone in this room and radiated a bestial aura.

"I accept." He said simply.

Alex nodded his head and through the second seal at his head. The connection between them was immediately established. "You have an unusual bloodline hidden in your body, once we return to the palace, I will give you a cultivation technique that will help you unleash it."

The Large man bowed, "Yes, Master."

Alex looked closely at the man, His body bulged with muscles, his face was young, and his green eyes were full of vitality, "From now on, you shall go by Beast Jr."

Alex looked at the rest of the Six, He looked towards a young man with Sharp eyebrows, "You have the affinity to be a Sword Cultivator, in this world only I can help you become one."

The young man pondered for a second before stepping up. He didn't say I accept like the other instead saying, "Sword Cultivators are a thing of myths and legends."

Alex smiled and circulated the Shining Great Treasure Body, Gold Skin and Silver Flesh appeared and radiated throughout the room, "Body Cultivators are a thing of myths and legends."

Everyone in the room was shocked. Body cultivators were indeed a thing of legends, but the young prince in front of them is clearly a body cultivator. The pressure coming off his body would be too much to bear if he didn't hold back.

The Young Man no longer hesitated, "I accept, I will become your disciple," he said determinedly.

Alex smiled and threw the third seal toward the young man and established a connection with him. The young man was slender, had warm blond hair, sharp green eyes, and brows.

"You are now my third disciple, from now on, you shall go by Sword Jr." Alex looked approvingly at Sword Jr.

Seconds after he spoke, both the females looked at each other and nodded. They stepped up at the same time and said, "I accepted to being your disciple."

Alex smiled even more and threw the seals at their heads, creating a connection with them. Standing next to each other, the girl to the left had long purple hair, dark eyes, and a fair complexion, "You will be my Fourth Disciple, having a natural affinity for thunder and lightning, you shall go by Thunder Jr."

Alex looked at the girl standing next to Thunder Jr, she had long blue hair, azure eyes, and icy jade skin, "You will be my Fifth Disciple, having a natural affinity with Ice, you shall go by Ice Jr."

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Master."

They moved to stand beside Alex with the other disciples, leaving only three people standing on the other side.

Alex looked at the remaining three guys, waiting for them to make a choice. One of them stepped up, he had a prideful look on his face, "Will I still be a slave if I accept?"

"Naturally not," Alex laughed, "You will be my treasured disciple."

"Then, I accept."

Alex threw the seal at his head and established a connection. The young man had red hair and deep purple eyes. He had a fair complexion and a prideful air coming off naturally, "You will be my sixth disciple. You have an unbelievable affinity with the world, becoming an emperor or monarch level character in the future is definitely possible, from now on, you shall go by Emperor Jr."

Emperor Jr heard Alex's words and his prideful air became even more abundant, he walked over to the other disciple and stood pridefully.

Alex subconsciously shook his head helplessly before looking towards the final two guys left. These two were different from the other. They looked completely the same, they were twins. The only way Alex was able to tell them apart was that one of them had a cold face the entire time. The other brother that was indifferent the entire time stepped up and said, "My brother and I will become your disciples."

Alex looked at the indifferent brother, smiled, and looked at the cold brother, "Your brother has to be willing for this to work."

"He is."

Alex nodded and sent the seal towards their heads, and surprisingly created a connection with both brothers. Looking at the cold brother, He had dark hair, dark eyes, and a pale complexion, but still had the same face as his indifferent twin brother, "Mysterious, you will be my Seventh disciple, from now on you shall go by Hell Jr."

Looking at the indifferent brother, he had golden blond hair, dark blue eyes, and a bright complexion, but he still had the exact same face as his cold twin brother, "hmm, truly, you will be my Eighth disciple, from now on you shall go by Heaven Jr."

"Yes, Master," Both brothers spoke at once, giving Alex the spooks.

Alex looked at all of his new disciples and nodded his head satisfyingly. He only had one seal left and he already knew who it would be. Alex walked out of the room with the eight of them following him. Hall, Jeffrey, and the receptionist stood there waiting for him.

"Your Highness," they greeted as he walked out.

Alex nodded his head. He looked at Hall and asked, "How much do I owe you?"

Hall was surprised, looked at Alex then looked at the eight standing behind him. He naturally saw the change in the atmosphere between them after they stayed in the room for a long time. He was suspicious that the prince knew something that he didn't.

With his calculative eyes moving around, Hall slyly said, "Not much, Not much, Your Highness is a special guest at our Slave Market, thus we will naturally give you a 50 percent discount. Your Highness chose the people with the most potential at our market, we've also educated, fed, and clothed them since young. At the normal price, they would be 2000 gold coins each, but with the discount, it's only 1000 gold coins each making the total 8000 gold coins, Your Highness."

Everyone except Alex was shocked, everyone knew that even the most perfect slave without any cultivation would only at the most go for 1000 silver coins. Jeffrey was about to say something when Alex promptly said, "Okay."

This shocked even Hall as everyone knew Hall was trying to rip Alex off. He clearly didn't want to sell the slaves after Alex acted so weird with them. He didn't expect Alex to accept the price without a care, but Alex's next words made him almost explode in anger.

"But I want her with them," Alex pointed at the receptionist. He looked at the ugly appearance of Hall as he tried to keep calm.

"Your Highness, she is a receptionist here, Not for Sale," Hall spoke these words out slowly.

"Every slave is for sale; how much is she?" Alex asked relentlessly.

Hall looked stuck. If the head of the market found out that he refused to sell a slave because of personal want, he was scared to imagine the consequences.

"10,000 gold coins," Hall spoke through gritted teeth.

"Done."

Everyone in the room was stunned once again. Hall's face turned from red to purple, almost about to pop. The receptionist's face also turned red as she glanced at Alex.

"I'm afraid I need to see the payment first, your highness," Hall still didn't give up. He refused to believe Alex had that much money, not even the Fourth Prince would waste 18,000 gold coins on slaves with no cultivation. That's 1,800,000 Silver Coins when converted!

Alex raised his hand and a pure white stone appeared in his finger; it was a great spirit stone.

Hall and Jeffrey were both shocked when they saw the great spirit stone. Spirit Stones were the currency of cultivators and are a lifeblood resource. Jeffrey thought the prince got some funds from the Ancestral Inheritance to flaunt so much but he wasn't expecting this.

Lifeblood resources were somewhat rare because they could increase the life and blood qi of a cultivator. They were separated into different ranks, small, Mid, High, Great, Perfect. Anything above perfect grade something only high-grade powerhouses know about.

Small grade spirit stones could be exchanged for 1000 gold coins, Mid for 10,000 gold coins, High for 100,000 gold coins, and Great for 1,000,000 gold coins.

Alex was basically holding a million gold coins in his fingers. Hall felt great fear at the moment, he had really f*cked up.

"Hurry up," Alex chucked the spirit stone at Hall.

"Y-Yes." Hall rushed to catch the spirit stone before hobbling away weirdly.

"Jeffrey, go prepare a carriage big enough to fit all of us, we will leave for the great biomes after this." Alex made an instant decision.

Depending on if whether his thoughts were correct, it was likely that the owner of this business was his 4th brother, Richard. After all, it matches his style, and he didn't want his brother to bring harm his disciples' way while they were still weak. So he would just escape before his bother found out and had any thoughts.

"Yes, Your Highness," With that, Jeffrey disappeared as well.

Alex looked at the receptionist, She had fiery red hair, amber eyes, and a ruddy complexion, "I know you were listening in to what happened in the room."

The girl panicked when she heard his words. Alex had felt her and Hall both trying to listen to what he was saying to his disciples, as they were not working together, he saved the last Disciple spot for her and decided to let her listen to what was happening in the room.

"You already know what I'm going to say, I only have one spot left, if I were you, I would take it. I don't know how long Hall can keep himself from taking you by force."

Alex didn't really feel bad saying what he said, he was her only choice, and she knew it.

She quickly said, "I accept."

Alex threw the seal towards her and created a connection.

"You are now my ninth and final disciple, having a natural affinity for fire and flames, from now on you shall go by Fire Jr."

"Yes, Master."

Alex nodded his head and looked at the nine of them, he finally filled all nine seals and now had nine disciples.

Dragon Sr, Beast Jr, Sword Jr, Thunder Jr, Ice Jr, Emperor Jr, Hell Jr, Heaven Jr, Fire Jr.

All that was left was to raise them, making them his strongest allies in this world.

These nine under his guidance would become mythical figures in the future. Undefeated throughout the universe, Above all others, and only beneath under The Heaven Defying God Devil Emperor.
