Gacha Sovereign
chapter-214

Alex and the rest met up with Evelyn and Lena again the next day. Surprisingly, the audience was twice the number. And to their surprise, there were Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Seven Elder, Ninth Elder, and Tenth Elder as the spectator. Many Inner disciples also came to watch one particular match as they might become a rival one day.

After meeting up with Evelyn and Lena, they went to their previous spot. Luckily, the spot was the same as yesterday, unbothered by other disciples even though the number of disciples that came to this place increased.

Alex was the one who was called first to the arena. He came to the arena and saw a lady with dark blue hair, she wore a long white dress. Her dark blue eyes looked at him curiously. Alex saw her cultivation, she was a 7-Star Martial Master. The same as his opponent yesterday.

On the VIP seat, Five elders were chatting. Especially with the appearance of Alex. Everyone was curious. Even the Seventh Elder, Elder Conn, and the Third Elder, Elder Dolf, were curious about it. When Alex was grabbed by the Ninth Peak, he sulked for a while. After all, he knew himself, Alex had talents that can surprise everyone. And the third elder knew that Alex managed to lite the Stone Monolith, in other words, Alex can use the true Seven Stars Cut. The sect master kept his promise, he didn't tell anyone about the true Seven Stars Cut even though he had understood it. He truly intended to announce it in this tournament.

But the one that bothered by Alex the most was the Fifth Elder. After all, according to the bracket, Alex will fight his Disciple, Gunzo Rockman. The fifth elder had similar appearances as the third elder, except he was bulkier. He wore a long white robe, but it can't hide the muscle underneath it. If he took off the robe, everyone would be able to see his huge and perfect muscle. As expected from a Body Cultivator's Master, he was also one of the body cultivators in the sect.

As for the tenth elder, she had long light brown hair, she braided her hair. Unlike Charya's aggressiveness, her expression was kind and gentle. But, her body was on par with Charya's. Her appearance alone would make one think that she would be a perfect mother.

The fifth elder finally opened his mouth, "Ninth Elder, I heard that your disciple was a body cultivator too."

"He is not my disciple. Song Yu is his mentor. I don't dare to be his Master. As for him being a body cultivator, you can see it later...probably." Charya said.

The other elders started listening to their conversation tentatively.

"Not your disciple?" The tenth elder shocked by that statement.

"What about it, Miska?" Charya glanced at her. Charya was a bit special, she didn't bother to call other elders with their title, whether it was first, second, and so on. She called other elders with their name, and the tenth elder name was Miska White. Of course, the other elders were a bit bothered by that. Still, because of Charya's personality that unable to change, they just categorized her as a unique individual and didn't bother with it anymore.

"He is a very talented young man. The ninth peak is full of women, and he is the only man in there. I thought you took him to have him as your disciple. After all, he is a very talented young man. That's why when you said he was not your disciple. I am a bit shocked by that." Miska said.

"Oh, If I'm not wrong, you wanted to take that lass Evelyn as your disciple, but you were rejected by her. Well, she indeed has a status that makes her able to reject you." Charya said frankly.

"Ahaha" Miska made a wry smile upon Charya's frankness.

"And that lass managed to advance by leaps and bounds after Alex taught her. I am wondering if you can do the same." Charya looked at her with a teasing gaze.

"I can!" Miska said with confidence.

"Really? She is a 7-Star Martial Master. And I heard that she also could send her Sword Intent flying." Charya said. Evelyn was not a member of Ninth Peak like Alex. She didn't mind to give all those information away.

"What? She can do that?" All of them stood up in surprise.

"Of course, I saw it myself. Miska, can you really teach her like that in a year?" Charya asked her with a smug face.

Conn sweatdropped as he thought. He looked at Charya and shook his head. 'He is really a genius among genius. Haiz, what a shame.'

"Oi Old man Conn, you just thought something rude to me, aren't you?" Charya narrowed her eyes.

"I don't know what you mean" Conn was unfazed. He answered her normally.

'As expected of the one who managed to lite the stone monument. Luckily, this kind of genius is in our Heavenly Sword Sect' Elder Dolf nodded his head. If that was true, then it was a blessing to the sect.

"I...I can..." Miska said, she was even doubtful about her own statement. Raising Evelyn's cultivation to 7-Star Martial Master in a year. That should be possible for her. But, if Evelyn really can send her Sword Intent flying, that would be terrifying. Even she was not sure if she can do that. After all, if Evelyn can do that, that would mean Evelyn was close to Sword Grandmaster.

The fifth elder was thinking out of the box. He didn't really care about Evelyn for the moment. After all, his disciple will fight Alex today. He noticed something odd, "Ninth Elder, do you mean that 'Alexander' is not a body cultivator but a normal one?"

"Gahaha. You can see it later, Nelson. Even I can't see the depth of his talent" Charya just gave a vague answer. As she said, she was unsure about Alex's full talents. But, if she said that she lost to him when they fought. Even if at that time she limits her cultivation, losing to him would be embarrassing to say it to these people.

Conn, who had a bit more knowledge from the rest, can understand her statement. Elder Dolf only nodded satisfied. He was satisfied that Alex was in their sect, not in other sects.

Nelson Bass, the fifth elder, frowned. He looked at Alexander. He tried to scan him. If Alex were not a body cultivator, that would be troublesome. According to Charya's words, Alex taught Evelyn and made her able to send her Sword Intent flying. Alex should be able to do that too. A Sword Master close to a Sword Grandmaster, and he had the same 'cultivation' level with his disciple along with that strength.

He sweatdropped by thinking about that. He was unsure if his disciple can beat someone like that. So, he tried to search for his weakness in this fight. Sadly, his expectation was betrayed.

...

In the arena, Alex looked at the female in front of him.

"I had seen your fight yesterday. I am afraid that I won't have the chance to defeat you. As a fellow disciple from Ninth Peak. It is better for me to surrender in this fight. I hope that your strength is equal to your ranking. I hope that you defeat Gunzo Rockman, on behalf of Ninth Peak."

His opponent turned out to be his fellow disciple. Alex nodded to her.

She looked at the referee, "I surrender."

"Alexander Sirius wins!"

The crowd was disappointed by the result. They can not see the new 'first' disciple. But this also showed their anxiety about him. If they didn't know anything about him and fought him, that would be too dangerous. Especially for the top outer disciples. Including the former rank eight, Gunzo Rockman, who would need to fight him later.

Alex came back. Lena turn came up, but considering her opponent was a 6-Star Martial Master. She should be fine. Evelyn's opponent was Rank 349th, Rizak, which lost to her pretty easily.

Finally, the first fight for every disciple had ended. They moved to the second round. This fight would determine if they able to enter the top hundred disciples. Although there were some disciples that got lucky enough to enter this round because their opponents were weak. But for this round, the competition was very fierce.

In this second round, Evelyn came first. She fought with another 7-Star Martial Master. But, as expected of her, she able to defeat her opponent pretty quickly.

A fight suddenly grabbed Alex's attention.

"Rank 498th, Simon versus Rank 191st, Albert."

Alex watched this fight seriously. He looked at Albert's cultivation. He was an 8-Star Martial Master while Simon was only a 5-Star Martial Master. On the first day, Simon defeated a 7-Star Martial Master after a hard fight. This time, he met an 8-Star Martial Master. Can he really win?

Even though breaking through three stars in a year can be considered as a genius. It was only an ordinary genius. Alex can only sigh about that. After leaving him, Himu...Simon can't break that barrier. He thought his decision was correct. Leaving him earlier so he won't be targeted by his enemies in his future journey seems to be the right choice.

"Match Start!"

Albert was a spear user. He raised his spear as he thrust it to empty air. A light suddenly flew like an arrow from the tip of his spear.

"Quick Silver"

Alex was familiar with this move. It was the same move that Putri had used back in their first meeting. Alex watched this with his full attention, hoping that he able to recreate it. After all, this move was similar to his 'Luminous Spear Technique' but had more power and speed. Sadly, even though his achievement in spear was high. Unlike his sword, he didn't have a Spear Mastery. Alex wished that he can really get a Spear Mastery soon.

Simon looked at the arrow shape light, he struck it with his sword.

"First Strike" The impact alone was enough to make him retreat a few steps. But he didn't back down.

Of course, Albert also didn't stop with one. He thrust his spear a few more times.

"Quick Silver" A few more arrow shapes came charging at Simon.

This was like an opportunity for Simon, "Second Strike"

"Third Strike"

...

"Sixth Strike"

Simon used this opportunity to charge his 'Sixth Strike'. This was the technique that Alex had written back in their separation. He practiced it continuously and finally able to use it to its full potential.

The sound of the clash became louder and louder. The Quick Silver stopped pushing him back after he reached the 'Sixth Strike' Suddenly, Albert didn't use his 'Quick Silver' anymore. He made a stance that Alex found it very familiar. This was the stance of 'Silver Raven'

He clenched his fist. This move was powerful as he had used it himself. 'Careful'

"Silver Raven" Albert suddenly charged with a breakneck speed that can't be dodged.

"Sixth Strike" Kenshin used his Sixth Strike to counter it. Regrettably, his 'Sixth Strike' was only a Profound Tier Sword Art, but this 'Silver Raven' was an Earth Tier Spear Art, and it was one of the most powerful Spear Arts in power.

In this clash, Both Kenshin and Albert used their own intent. With Albert 7-Star Cultivation, the result was as expected. Kenshin crashed to the wall.

"Boom!"

Kenshin spat blood, He immediately stabilized his form and swung his sword.

"Seven Stars Cut"

Four layers of Seven Stars Cut flew toward Albert. Albert saw this without an expression. He had gotten used to this technique, considering most disciples that used a sword can use this Sword Art.

If it was a true Seven Stars Cut, even with only three layers, he might feel dread for it. Sadly, it was only a normal Four Layers of Seven Stars Cut. Alex can immediately know, Silver Raven, although it was a bit predictable to an experienced opponent. Its power was still top notch, and not many can stop it.

The tip of Albert's spear started glowing. Alex didn't want to let this chance go. This was the chance to win. He charged directly to the Seven Stars Cut. He thrust his spear to the Seven Stars Cut.

His spear broke the four layers one by one. Just like the previous example, the True Seven Stars Cut was not that brittle even if it was only a single Sword Wave. But the normal Seven Stars Cut, unless you covered it with Sword Intent. It was not hard enough, as Albert's pierced it with his 'Silver Raven' and Spear Intent.

After breaking the Seven Stars Cut, his charge continued to Simon's direction.

"Boom"

Everyone can see that Albert's spear didn't pierce Kenshin. But they knew that he did that intentionally as the referee finally announced. "Albert Wins!"
