Everyone will leave in one hour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What time is it?\" Alex muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had forgotten that he fell asleep at noon and instinctively thought it was still early morning. A moment later, realization struck him. He had slept through the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex quickly got up, washed his face, and freshened up. After that, he opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. I’ll be there in twenty minutes,\" Alex said, thanking Lina for waking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He changed his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black T-shirt, navy blue jeans, and a pair of black shoes. Simple and comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days of training had transformed his once weak body into a toned and striking figure. His facial features were already handsome, and now, with a well-built frame and a height of 175 centimeters, he looked genuinely attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex realized he had not gone outside since arriving in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be his first time stepping out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this world was extremely advanced in technology, but he never cared much about it. He preferred a simple life and had never asked his mother for a mobile phone or nano computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex walked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twelve youngsters who met the age requirement were already gathered there. He recognized only two or three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood quietly in a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not eager to talk to anyone, and they were not friendly toward him anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, is that Alex? How did he become so handsome? I never looked at him properly. He is really handsome. Let’s talk to him,\" one of his female cousins whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmp. He is just a pretty boy with no essence. If you make friends with him, don’t talk to me ever again,\" Erza said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stiffened and immediately stopped looking in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza cast Alex a mocking smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is wrong with this brat?\" Alex was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like she wanted to compete with him in everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not take it to heart. He did not want sibling relationships anyway. Kate had already fulfilled all his emotional needs with a single hit on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw his mother approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey mom. You look very beautiful. No wonder I’m so handsome,\" Alex said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth gave him a look of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your narcissism is almost at the level of your father. I’m afraid you will surpass him soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teasing his mother was one of his favorite things. She was still his only real friend in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, which elders are coming with us besides you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your third uncle and Butler Dominic. And before I forget, here is your wrist band. It’s a second-generation model but still good enough for you. You should know its functions, but I’ll explain once more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For basic functions, it works as a nano computer and communicator. Once you awaken, you can connect to the virtual network through this band.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for advanced functions, it can transform into any weapon you prefer. The weapon will have the strength of a B-grade weapon, strong enough to slay a martial lord level monster with enough force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had not read much about technology these past days, but he understood the power system well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wrist band was a game changer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rich always remained rich because they never needed to worry about resources and could focus their minds on things that mattered more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex put the wrist band on his left wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked sleek and impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It activated as soon as he wore it. He decided to check its features later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright everyone, get into the airship. We are leaving now,\" Alex’s third uncle said in a clear tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the house and boarded the airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled a jet fighter, only larger and designed with more refined features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as everyone boarded, the airship lifted into the sky and shot forward with a boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sat by the window, eager to see the world from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light domain was not a domain of actual light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a barrier that separated the world from the darkness outside. Everything inside functioned normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were oceans, sea creatures, islands, and continents. Life proceeded without disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abnormalities could not enter here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning! Warning! There is a dark cloud ahead. Lightning detected.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Initiating the cannon.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A laser beam fired from the airship and vaporized the cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were flying low at the request of the young passengers, so the defense system had to act quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three hours of flight, they finally reached the central continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airship had been traveling at five thousand kilometers per hour, so it didn’t take much time to reach here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The central continent was the most powerful region among all the continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All emperor families lived there, and the headquarters of the Martial Alliance was also located there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the capital city of the central continent, every monarch-level and above family owned a private hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aurelion family was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They owned a seven-star hotel named Hotel Glandale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their airship landed on the hotel’s rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Managers and guards were already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the door opened, everyone bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager introduced himslef and his stuffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they were shown to their rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s room was right beside his mother’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I want to see the night view of the city. Can I go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can go. You should also visit the Aurora Martial Institution. Once you awaken, you will be admitted there. Buy anything you want. I transferred funds to your account,\" Elizabeth said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora City was the safest city in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one below king-level families could enter without a valid reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth was not worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Alex needed to see the world for himself. It was a good start after being in a coma for two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex brightened and hurried to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He freshened up again and left almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan was to explore the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, he also wanted to visit the place where the Tower of Ascension stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed his cousins leaving together but ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no specific destination, so the whole city was open to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he wondered where to go first, he overheard a group next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I heard Ms. Hana will perform tonight at the cultural hall. Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you serious? Then why are we standing here? Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex followed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see a concert too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the cultural hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he walked toward the ticket counter, a hand grabbed his shoulder and tried to push him aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey kid, move. Young master wants to buy a ticket first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex barely felt the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recent strength made it feel like an ant was trying to push him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively grabbed the man’s wrist and gave a slight push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man flew far from the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What just happened? Did anyone see that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea why the man had suddenly been thrown so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex snapped back to his senses and quickly left the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want to cause trouble for his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the boy was from an emperor family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly booked a flying cab and headed toward the Aurora Martial Institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow that bastard. He wants to run away after hurting my underling,\" a roar came from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was thinking about what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother was already in a difficult position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hurt someone from a powerful family, that would create too many problems for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was timid by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been an orphan before, and now that he had found a family, he never wanted to put them in danger because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1330,"2026-05-29T18:19:59.422Z","2026-06-01T04:29:55.676Z",1,"novelbin.me","298ea379f0f06e6cd3e6eb21afa3372aa79aa6af343d4291167a1365fcf46371","my-infinite-cultivation-system-chapter-9","my-infinite-cultivation-system-chapter-7",170,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-infinite-cultivation-system-cover.jpg"]
