Chapter 786 The Human Language

"My apologies regarding grandfather, he can tunnel-visioned from time to time. You must be wanting to fight for a while now. I can understand," Han Daiyu spoke to Alex as they walked back towards the lounge area where Liang Qiu and the others were waiting for them.

Once they reached the group, they left back out to go wait for the registration to be over.

When they arrived back at the event, they were already around 800, so after waiting just a little longer, everyone that had come had been tested.

A man walked onto the stage with a talisman. "Everyone whose name I will call out has been registered for the tournament. If your name does not get called out, you will have to wait a little longer for some tests to be accepted," the person said.

After that, one after another, the man spoke of the number and the name of the person that had passed. Alex waited for a while and his name and number came up.

Thanks to Pearl, he didn't have to go through the test at all and could directly enter the tournament.

By the time he was done, the man had called out exactly 21 people. These were the people that were guaranteed a spot in the tournament.

"Those whose name was called out, you may leave. Those whose name wasn't called out, please stick around so we may choose the remaining 42 participants from you," the person said.

'42… that means they are taking 63 in total? Wasn't it supposed to be 64? Or are they accounting for the 16 seeded participants?'

Alex assumed that was most likely the case.

"I will take my leave now," Alex said his farewell to the group he was with. Liang Qiu tried to stop him to take him to speak to her elders but Alex shook his head.

He promised to do it once the tournament was over and went to find Qin Shan. Qin Shan was here to look after his disciples, so Alex had to return on his own.

A few minutes later, he was back with his mother and told her about the registration.

"3 months later you get to fight huh?" she asked.

"Yes," Alex nodded.

"Are you going back to the White Tiger's palace to train for the remaining months?" she asked.

"No, I can train here. I'm close to breaking through again, which I should be able to do in the next 3 months. So, I don't need to go back."

Alex then brought out a book from his storage bag. "For now, I think you and I should both read this."

"What is it?" Helen asked curiously.

"It's a book that will help us learn the Human language. It's translated from the Demon language, so it should be easy for you to read," Alex told her.

"Okay." Helen took the book and flipped through it. "Oh, this is that language from the last part of the flame book you had me read."

"Yes, this should help you understand what that part said when you get to the saint realm," Alex said.

Helen looked through the book and made a confused face. "This makes no sense," She said. "This right here is the word for 'Heat' apparently, and this right here is for 'Heaven', yet the beginning of the words don't match at all."

"Really?" Alex looked at what her mother showed and was surprised.

He looked at the words and the way they were written did indeed not have anything in common at the beginning.

"Wait a second." Alex noticed something. "The last part of the word is the same. Here."

He pointed to the words again and they did indeed end on the same syllable.

"Then…" Helen quickly looked through the other syllables and found out that the end of the word did match.

It didn't take the two very long to figure out that the words in the Human language were written backward.

"No wonder," Alex thought. "I tried converting the language on my own, but it didn't make any sense. But, if it is indeed read from right to left, instead of left to right, then that would make sense why I wasn't able to translate it for my master."

"Have you not read this yet?" she asked.

"No, I will once you're done with it. I have something else to do in the meantime."

Alex left Pearl with his mother and went back to his room to start writing a book from his memory.

He had brought Heaven's Impact along with him from the Hong Wu sect since it was his. But that wasn't the only book he had read that had words in the Human language.

He also had the two Yang books with him so there wasn't any problem there.

He then thought of the final part of the Flame Mastery scripture, but his mother remembered the words there despite not understanding it, so that didn't require writing down as well.

Which meant, the only thing he needed to write was the words from the Black stele back in the Tiger sect.

Instead of writing it down on a talisman, Alex decided to make a normal book out of it and took out an empty book.

Then, he remembered the words on the stele and started noting them down.

Since he learned that the Human language was written right to left, he started in the same order with the stele as well.

Starting from the right, he copies syllable after syllable from his mind and wrote them down on paper.

'Why is remembering this so hard?' he wondered as a slight headache plagued his mind.

He remembered more of the words and as he did, his headache grew.

By the time he had written 20% of the book, his headache was growing massively, so much so that, he had a hard time even looking at paper with clear eyes.

Since writing was getting so hard for some reason, He stopped it for a moment and just focused on remembering the words of the stele.

"STOP!" someone shouted in his head.

"What?" Alex's attention wavered for a second as she stopped trying to think about the stele. The pain in his mind lowered and he could think again.

In an instant, Alex closed his eyes and went into his Spiritual sea. When he did, he was both astonished and scared.

In front of him, his Spiritual sea moved around like the sea in an earthquake. Tides rose high and low, some nearly reaching the silver mountain that hovered above it.

The silver mountain itself was shaking a bit.

"Oi! You bastard! Are you trying to suicide?" a voice spoke to his left and Alex turned his head to see the sword's artifact spirit speak up.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"What were you doing? You nearly ripped open your own spiritual space," the artifact spirit shouted at him.

"I… I did? Was that why I was having such a bad headache?" he asked.

"What were you trying to do?" the spirit asked.

"Trying to remember the words of a technique I read not long ago," Alex said.

The artifact spirit audibly sighed. "Well, if the owner doesn't want you to, then maybe you should give up!"
