As time slowly ticked, the blood in the pool also gradually lessened.
Finally, when Alex absorbed the last drop of Ancient holy dragon Beast's blood, he opened his eyes.
In that instant, an invisible aura suddenly burst out.
Then, he heard rumbling sounds of thunder in the atmosphere surrounding him.
Alex jumped up, raising his hand, and gave a punch.
Bang!
As if there was a sudden clap of thunder on the ground, Alex punched through the air.
Then, he raised his foot and made a sweeping motion.
Just like an iron whip, the air in his surroundings vibrated, and he could even see the ripple with his own eyes.
"I've only restored myself to the first stage of the True Martial Realm, Introduction, yet I can feel my strength, and the changes in my muscles and bones are better than when I'm in the second stage!"
Alex's eyes lit up in excitement
"Just like what mom said… My body isn't only healed, but my strength is also quickly recovering.
Moreover, I'll be much stronger than I was before! This is indeed only something an immortal can possess!"
Then, Alex once again felt his body.
Even though he could not see through himself yet, Alex could sense that his breathing was smoother and his hearing was clearer.
Moreover, his energy was so robust that he felt as if his energy was inexhaustible.
In his current situation, Alex already exceeded his condition when he reach ed the peak of the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm.
Furthermore, Alex could also feel that the blood and essence that he absorbed were still continuously nurturing his body.
That implied that despite just recovering from a mortal injury in the first stage of True Martial Realm, Alex knew that it would not be long for him to reach the fourth stage again.
Moreover, he would no longer need to strenuously train for so many years as he did back then.
After calming down his excitement, Alex raised his head and looked at one of the corners.
There was a flight of stone stairs that led toward the second floor of the Tower of Life.
"Mother's note mentioned that this tower was prepared for me, and I should explore the Tower of Life too.
Since she said that, I should take a look at what's in store for the floors above."
Alex walked up the stairs and saw the stone gate leading to the second floor.
It was open.
There was no seal above the stone door, and it said, 'Accessible for the first stage of True Martial Realm'.
It was his mother's handwriting.
"It seems that each floor of the Tower of Life has a requirement.
As long as I reach the stage, I can enter the floor." Alex pondered upon it.
"Based on my understanding, after the True Martial Realm, it'll be the Pulse Control Realm.
Since there are five stages to True Martial Realm and three stages in Pulse Control Realm, the Tower of Life should only have Nine floors.
However, when I looked at it from outside, the tower appeared to tower into the sky.
It didn't seem to have only Nine floors.
Nonetheless, since mom was celestial and possessed their power, her strength was incomparable to True Martial Realm and Pulse Control Realm.
In this world, they'll surely be a higher realm than Pulse Control Realm.
It's just that my knowledge and experience are lacking as I live in Espansia."
When Alex finally understood that, he did not hesitate further and directly reached out to open the door.
Then, by just exerting a slight force, be pushed the door open.
However, the second floor of the Tower of Life was completely different from what Alex had imagined.
He initially thought that powerful martial art skills were kept here, or even impressive weapons of the gods were stored on this floor, yet he was greeted with an empty and spacious room.
"It's empty?" Just as Alex was puzzled, he saw the writings on the walls opposite him, 'Time Warp Zone'.
These three words had a disdainful taste to them.
It was as if it had the power to control every life force in the universe.
When Alex glanced at it, he instantly felt nervous.
Nevertheless, Alex still suppressed the imposing energy and walked forward to take a closer look.
Then, he saw a row of tiny inscriptions beside the three words.
"A day in this room equals three days in the mortal world."
The meaning of the row of words was unmistakable.
"A day spent in the mortal world is three days in this Time Warp Zone.
If that's the case, then won't the time training here be three times more than an ordinary person?" Alex instantly thought of the crucial point, and he could not help but be surprised.
Since he entered the bracelet of Echo, Alex saw many wonderful sights that he had never seen before.
This remarkable power could slow down time and open his eyes.
"I wasted a year in the hellworm prison, yet in this Time Warp Zone, I have hope to make up for the lost time!"
Alex was extremely excited, and he could sense his mother's effort and intention.
Moreover, Alex even had a faint feeling that his mother seemed to have predicted the treatment he received before.
Hence, she left the two treasures, bracelet of Echo and Tower of Life, for him.
This way, Alex could overcome the hardship and bring himself up a notch.
When he found out about the second floor's function, Alex wanted to look at the third floor.
However, just as he expected, Alex could not open the stone door as with his current realm stage.
The third floor would require him to attain the second stage of the Martial Realm before he could enter.
Nonetheless, Alex was not in a hurry either.
As he had just absorbed the essence and blood of the Ancient holy dragon Beast, his body healed and strengthened itself.
Besides, he could train at the Time Warp Zone in the future.
Thus, Alex was sure he would open the entrance to the third level in no time.
After pondering some time he left the tower and suddenly caught a side of a den type entrance in the left side of the tower...
He came to the side and saw there was some restriction in the entrance. But he can saw some stone size rocks are left inside of the den....what were those stone and there was actually a seal , forget it, I can figure it out another time.
He know What he seen today these incident were beyond some normal human understanding, so he left those fellings.
After understanding all of these, Alex suddenly had an epiphany.
"I've been in the Bracelet of Echo for a while now.
I can't let anyone find out about this huge secret for now! However, it's easy to get in here, and I know the method for that… But how do I get out?"
Just as Alex was puzzled, the thought of going out appeared.
He suddenly felt that familiar force sweeping over him again.
The next second, his body shook, and Alex realized that he was back in the room before this.
Furthermore, he was still soaking in the tub, and the water was still warm.
Alex rubbed the Bracelet of Echo on his right ear, and his eyes glistened.
"Now that I have this precious thing, I won't waste it! Training starts tonight!"
***
At this moment in the imperial city of Espansia, the candlelight flickered in a hidden place within the crown prince's Eastern Palace, lengthening the two people's silhouettes.
A young man who somewhat resembled Alex was wearing an embroidered robe, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.
In front of him, there was a lanky person in a black robe who stood there in silence.
If it were not for his chest moving faintly, the man in black robe could be easily mistaken as a statue.
The youngster who was now the crown prince was holding a brush and ink, wielding and writing.
On the other hand, the man in a black robe was not saying a word.
After some time, as the youngster, Luke sanandrias, finished his last letter.
He raised his head with his eyes twinkling, looking at the man in a black robe and asked, "Teacher, what do you think of my writing compared to Alex's?"
