Misunderstanding got huge

"Am I not welcomed here?" Ace questioned, turning around to see a handsome looking youth accompanied by two young ladies that were considered pretty.

"You said that yourself, I was merely stating a fact. Everyone present can vouch for me." The youth countered back arrogantly while laughing with the two shameless women in his embrace.

"Oh? You look down on me that much just because I'm a mortal?"

"System, is it possible for me to gather data on someone I see?"

"Yes, it would consume a certain amount of system points depending on the cultivation of the target."

"How much would it take for me to have the data on this youth?"

"Since it's the first time the host is using this function, the first time would be a free experience."

The next moment, a systematic page of the arrogant youth appeared before him.

Alexander Damian: early stage Martial Master realm, seventeen years old

Cultivation technique: Inferno Scriptures, low heaven grade

Description: A kind person who devotes his attention to cultivating, puts up a false image in order to protect himself from the struggles for the position of a crown prince.

"I'm saying this for your own good, since this crown prince is here today, I'll give you the liberty of walking out of here unscathed." Alexander acted as though he was in full charge of this area, but Ace understood that he was only doing this to protect him.

"I'll thank you for your intentions first then."

Ace then left the Golden Flourish pavilion and returned to the Nirvana inn. On the way back, he purchased weights to wear on his wrists, ankles and around his waist from 5kg to 50kg. He wasn't sure how far he could go, but a spirit stone was more than enough to purchase such training equipment that didn't even total to one spirit stone.

After returning to the inn, the first thing that Ace did was remind Boss Lou of the delivery that would be made soon in case he chases them away thinking that they're here to create trouble.

"Boss Lou, I might need you to renovate the first floor as well. For the sales of elixirs and equipment, they'll each occupy one floor. On each floor, I need you to clear out an area for the sales of a unique product each that will be delivered here soon."

"Oh? What unique products are you talking about?" Shawn asked as though out of curiosity, leaving Ace oblivious to the fact that he just wanted to understand Ace further.

"The 2nd grade elixir, spirit explosion pill and a weapon known as the energy grenade."

To think that he has access to such rare formulas and blueprints already…

Pretending that he didn't know what these items were, Shawn told him that he'll settle the goods once they arrive.

Ace nodded his head and returned to the third floor.

"If you need to shower, you can use room number one which would be renovated last."

"Got it."

"System, can I have information on Boss Lou?"

"Sorry, your current privileges do not allow you to gain any information on someone of this caliber?"

"System, when will I have access to gain information on him?"

"It would require to be at the Martial King realm at the very least. Also, a sky high price would be needed."

"Alright, I got it."

Returning to the third floor, Ace commenced hell on himself. Since he didn't have the time to head towards the mountains to train right now, the best he could do was make use of the space here. It was limited, but enough for him.

"It seems like the seven stars continental battle will only be the first step for him."

"Of course, the continents of the lower realm aren't worth mentioning in the end. For the first time however, there'll be Martial Kings in the seven stars continental battle, the four which I've paid attention to would definitely be the brightest stars this time, let's hope that his glamour will outshine theirs."

"Don't worry, it will."

Putting on the weights, Ace took out his sword. Swinging it around, he realised that just 5kg of additional weights on his wrists, ankles and waist was affecting his movements. But it was exactly this feeling that he was looking for, it was the fatigue which he needed.

Because he had an idea in mind, he was going to push his physical body to its limits without giving a regard to the six stages of the Body Tempering realm. He was going to be doing all of them at the same time and he had a rough idea on how to do it.

After about an hour of getting used to the weights, the sun had already set, but Ace wasn't going to rest just yet. Taking out a bell with a red string attached to it, he tied it to the belt on his robe.

He had his purpose for doing so, it was to train his control over his physical body. If he was able to make a large movement without the bell even ringing once, it meant that he had only used the muscles involved in the movement and since his attacks were silent, it was impossible for someone to sense his arrival easily.

When the sun rose again in the morning, Ace collapsed onto the ground and soon fell asleep. His body had reached its limit considering the intensity of his training. While adapting to the weight, he was performing his usual sword routine that usually pushed his physical body to the limits while using the least amount of strength possible.

His muscles were growing stronger from the physical training of his sword routine, his bones were strengthening themselves from the constant weight weighing his body down, his veins were on fire and he as his breathing red increased, the blood within his body was circulating much more quickly. His five senses were benefitting at once as he focused on using them at the same time while pungent oil leaked from his body.

When Ace opened his eyes again, it was already late afternoon as he returned to the second floor and found a room to shower in.

After all, the visitors that had rented a room had already packed their belongings and left, or so Ace thought.

In the meantime, Shawn was currently organising the keys for the rooms together when he realised that one of the visitors had yet to return the key.

It was room number one and if he recalled correctly… "If you need to shower, you can use room number one which would be renovated last."

Realising this fact, Shawn laughed it off and decided not to inform Ace about this. It was a room that belonged to a young beauty after all, thinking about it, that girl was alone and was only in the Foundation realm, which meant that they were of the same age.

Wait, where does she resemble someone I know of…

Casually opening the room with a robe his master left in the void ring for him, he stepped into the robe only for the blinding sight before him to capture his attention.

Angelic hair that seemed to embody storms of raging snow.

Sapphire eyes on a gorgeous foreign face, widening in shock at the unexpected intruder.

Porcelain skin as white as fair snow wrapped by a towel.

"Pervert!"

"Give me a moment to explain!"

Learning from his lesson yesterday, Ace hurriedly did what he planned for a similar situation.

"It's my fault, I can do anything to atone for my sins."

"You sure about that?"

Before thinking, Ace replied with a 'yes' which he soon regretted.

"Even if I get you to become my slave after blinding your eyes?"

"That's too much!"

"Then I won't forgive you!"

"Fine, I'll leave then."

Unwilling to argue further with a young lady who isn't willing to accept a sincere apology, he turned away and proceeded towards another room to shower.

Swoosh!

"Don't even think about leaving here without paying a price!"

Turning around instinctively, Ace took out his longsword and parried her attack, his body sent flying backwards as he kicked against the wall to reduce the impact.

"You pervert!" Before he could even react, another attack aimed straight for his chest and when his gaze travelled to her face, he saw streaks of tears flowing down her crimson face.

Raising his sword to parry her attack at the last moment, he was about to pull some distance before explaining when an unblemished body was captured by his photographic memory.
