Break the Shell

The white-masked, black-robed Alex was a very popular person in Silvermoon city. 

Many people called for him to visit them when he could. They either wanted to learn more about how he improved how he did, or if he wanted to join their sect.

Alex indulged the people for a while, going around to visit them in Silvermoon city, speaking about his insights on Dao and revealing his strength to them whenever they wanted to spar.

They were all curious about how he was so strong, but they all figured it had to be because of his Dao or Sword Aura.

No one ever made the connection that Alex's Qi alone was incredibly strong as well.

It took Alex an entire month to go visit every big faction and sect. This concluded with his being requested to join them no matter where he went.
