As he entered the pool, Alex felt an enormously strong sense of power overwhelming him. It was then
quickly followed by intense pain as if his flesh and blood were drawn away from him againâ¦
His flesh wasnât actually being ripped out, but training and improvement were advancing his flesh into a
type of energy.
The trialists had come to the Underworld mainly to change their skeletons through the pool. They could
truly merge the bone patterns into their bones and advance further. On the other hand, Alexâs bones
fused with many mysterious powers, such as Ymirâs Divine Bone, the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, Yin-
Yang Chi, and Yellow Obsidian Chi. According to the levels of bones, his had exceeded what the pool
could enhance. However, since he had just regained his body, it was also considered a burden.
The pool would also help with training his body, and it required much more energy than upgrading
bones. Alex could now feel his original body coming back The refined part in the Underworld was now
merging with his original body by turning into pure energy.
In an instant, Alex was so overwhelmed with energy that he felt he could punch a hole through the
skies.
At the same time, a large gravitational force appeared below the pool and sucked Alex into an unknown
direction.
âSir, sirâ¦â
Suddenly, a voice reached Alexâs ears. It was Neela. At the time, she had managed to return to Alexâs
body. Before he entered the Underworld, Neela had been left out due to the laws of the Underworld.
Since she was attached to Alexâs body, she had to stay alone with his mortal self and lost the chance at
advancing her bonesâ¦
However, as she followed the return of Alexâs body, her own body was improved due to the gain of
Alexâs unique energy.
âNeela, are you okay? I havenât heard from you in years! Iâve been worried!â
Feeling Neela reentering his body, Alex felt relieved knowing that she was alive. His worried heart
could finally relax.
Neela was surprised. âSir, what are you talking about? What do you mean by years? We havenât parted
for longâ¦â
âOh right, you did say that your situation was special, and I was suddenly kicked out. Then a
mysterious force surrounded me, and I couldnât even take a step closer. So what was it?â
âNot long ago?â Alex was taken aback, but he quickly understood.
Time passed differently for Neela compared to the Underworld. She followed the outside worldâs time.
One day, in reality, was a hundred years in the Underworld. Sheâd been at the Underworld for less than
ten years, which indicated not much time had passed for her.
âThereâs too much to explain!â
âIâll tell you in detail later!â
Right now, both of them saw a ball of light. The light was blurry as if there were images of the outside
world within. There was another force in the pool pulling them over.
âIs this the passage back to our realm?â
Alex frowned, thinking about the aim of his trip. It wasnât just to become stronger, but he wanted to save
his father as well. Besides, the pool had another power that could save Anna. Hence, he definitely
couldnât be sent out now.
âStop right now!â Alex roared. I-Iis aura burst out with divine power as heavy as a large mountain. One
punch was enough to send the pool water flowing backward, with that blurry ball of light hit traveling
hundreds of meters.
Neela was stunned, âSir, youâ¦â
Alex quickly said, âWe canât leave yet, our main goal hasnât been accomplished.â
As he spoke, he quickly took out the Soul Collection Coffin and carried Anna out.
