Battle 1 - Heavenly Sword Sect Vs Thiveapia Kingdom

Battle 2 - Zhou Kingdom Vs Southern Kingdom

Battle 3 - Rainbow Flower Sect Vs Mount Hua Sect

Battle 4 - Buddha Sect Vs Hazel Kingdom

"We have gotten our battles for tomorrow. The first one would be the battle between Heavenly Sword Sect and Thiveapia Kingdom. This is really a surprise considering the story between the two influences in the Martial Grandmaster Competition.

"You can see the rest of the battle in this bracket. As expected, the battle that we anticipated very much would be the third battle between Rainbow Flower Sect and Mount Hua Sect. With the bold claim from Erol that he wanted to do something ridiculous toward Rainbow Flower Sect's disciples.

"I am sure there is already hatred between them, and the battle would become a hard battle between two influences."

Alex was also surprised by this list. He did not expect he would meet Thiveapia Kingdom in the first round. Although he did not want to kill them anymore, he would kill them if they were going to fight him excessively.

But, as expected, the battle he anticipated the most would be the second battle. Between Zhou Kingdom and Southern Kingdom, one of them would win and fight him in the second round. And most likely, it would be Zhou Kingdom. If that happened, he would make sure he killed all of them.

[Processing Host's intention]

[Mission: Kill Zhou Kingdom's Participants (0/8)

Reward: Gacha Card x1

Description: Having to be your enemy for so long, it is time for Host to put an end on this matter.]

"!!!" Alex was surprised to see this. Not only the mission but also the reward. He had one Gacha Card to open the Gacha Box, but he was waiting for another two Gacha Cards so he could press the '3+1' for Gacha Box. After all, according to the system, he would get at least Rare Items from Gacha Box, and the rate for SR and UR was far higher than normal. So, it would be a waste if he used it with a single card.

"System, do you want me to fight all of them?"

[It is up to you, Host. I am just facilitating your wish. Whether you will accept this or not is decided by you.]

"..." Alex contemplated for a bit before nodding his head. "Well, this competition will be until the last man standing. In other words, even if we have won five solo matches, it will still continue until all the participants from another team are dead or surrendered.

"At first, I thought about killing them after this tournament is over, but killing them in this tournament would be the same since they will die either way."

Before coming back, he looked at Letizia and sent a thought transmission. 'You are going to fight the Mount Hua Sect, what will you do?'

Letizia was a bit startled as she did not expect Alex would contact her. After all, this was only her obligation after seeing her master go to the stage. 'I want to kill all the participants from Mount Hua Sect. But if Master does not want it, I will not do it.'

'No. You can kill them. In fact, it would be weird if you do not want to kill them after hearing all of those bold claims.'

'Yes. We need to quell the anger of our sect. In the contract after the war, they already owe us too much. And because of the previous incident, I am planning to weaken them as a whole seriously. Since they have lost many elders, killing another eight will do irreplaceable damage to them. Before long, they will decline and might not become one of the four great sects anymore.'

'Alright. If you keep winning, we will meet in the final.'

'Yes. Of course, we will let Master become the final winner.' Letizia said humbly.

'I know your sect wants to win too, so we will compete with each other without thinking about our relationship… is what I want to say, but it seems we can't.'

'What do you mean, Master? Do you have another plan?'

'I do have a plan, but that would require me to win the tournament.' Alex said with an unsure tone. Even though she was his servant, her sect was not. So, announcing that he would win before the tournament was a bit rude, he thought.

Of course, he wanted to win so he could get the reward from the system. At that time, he would get the last UR spirit as well as the UR EXP card. He would use his UR EXP card to make level up one of his Spirit to Martial King. That way, even if he killed the Mount Hua Sect sect master, it would be fine since his spirit would do the job better than him.

Surprisingly, Letizia said, 'As I said, we are ready to lose in this competition. We are content to have the second place. My mother also has told me about that, so Master does not need to feel bad about it. In fact, we are planning to surrender as soon as we meet you.'

'... Alright, but don't immediately surrender in the final. I want all of us to fight but not seriously.'

'?!' Letizia was confused.

'I will explain it to you the day after tomorrow.'

'Understood.'

After finishing their conversation, both of them returned to their own group. Letizia immediately told Cecilia about her conversation with Alex.

Alex looked at Xiang Bai, "Sect Master."

"What? Do you want to go first tomorrow?" Xiang Bai asked.

"No. In fact, If I can, I don't want to fight tomorrow." Alex shook his head.

"What? Are you not going to participate in this tournament? But you are already registered as our participant, and we can't change people in this tournament…" Xiang Bai said with a shocked expression.

"No. It is only for tomorrow. If possible, I want to abstain from tomorrow's fight so I can hide my power for the time being."

"For the time being? Do you want to do something?"

"Yes. I want to kill all participants from Zhou Kingdom since I believe all of them will be 10-Star Martial Lords because of the Blood Pill." Alex explained.

Xiang Bai pondered for a moment. He could correlate about the 10-Star Martial Lords thing, but it was very dangerous for Alex to fight all of them. "Are you sure? You are going to fight eight 10-Star Martial Lords you know."

"Yes. With the effect of the Blood Pill, they are weaker than the average 10-Star Martial Lords. And I am assuming they won't use the other pill since they will risk their plan will be discovered." Alex explained. Of course, this was only for the sake of the reward.

"I see… Well, as long as you have considered the risk, then I don't have any objections. If that is your decision, then you don't need to worry about Thiveapia Kingdom. To put it bluntly, the only person we need to worry about is their previous king, who is a 10-Star Martial Lord. But we have the first elder, second elder, as well as third elder, I am sure all of them can defeat him. So, you don't need to worry about it and just relax tomorrow."

"Thank you." Alex nodded.

Alex then disappeared. He wanted to meet Evelyn, but it seemed she was going to have some fun with her teammates for a while. So, he just cultivated through the night.

The next day, even though he was not participating, he would still come to observe the fight. He was curious about Heavenly Sword Sect's strength as well as the other influences.

The first fight was given to the one who took care of Alex. After all, it was all about the first impression. By giving Charya the opportunity, it showed Alex that they wanted to give it to Alex if he wanted. Sadly, he decided not to participate for the sake of the next round as he wanted to hide his power before his fight against Zhou Kingdom.

Charya did not wear her sloppy clothes anymore. She was wearing a white Taoist shirt. She tied her hair into a ponytail as her usual carefree expression was replaced by a serious expression. She looked like a full-fledged warrior if one did not know the real her.

Even Alex was surprised by her transformation. If this were the first time he saw her, he would think she was a brave warrior from a sect or something.

"Heavenly Sword Sect sends their ninth elder as the first person, Elder Charya. On the other side, the one representing Thiveapia Kingdom is the minister of finance, the younger brother of the current king, Matthew."

Alex had seen this person. He was the one in charge of the auction house and the one who issued him the ticket. He remembered Evelyn called him uncle, and their relationship was good.

Sadly, as one would expect from a Kingdom, they could only send an 8-Star Martial Lord as the starter. After all, the kingdoms only had a single 10-Star Martial Lord, four 9-Star Martial Lord, and the rest would be 8-Star Martial Lord. Of course, it was different for the Zhou Kingdom. But for a kingdom like Thiveapia Kingdom, the chance for winning would be slim.

Just like the sect master said, the one they needed to worry about would be their 10-Star Martial Lord. If they had defeated them, it would be pretty easy for the others to win. He remembered the third elder said there were at least ten people that were more powerful than him, so he was wondering whether the 10-Star Martial Lord from Thiveapia Kingdom was one of them.

Charya walked to the arena. Even though the people could see the wound on her face, they were still mesmerized by her beauty. Despite her character, Charya was indeed beautiful. And by dressing like this, it gave another charm that would show her gorgeous body.

"Charya, Ninth Elder of Heavenly Sword Sect." Charya smiled while greeting him politely.

Alex was taken aback when he saw this. He could not believe Charya could say something politely after knowing her for these three years. He tried to imagine Charya acted like this the whole time, and the result made him feel chill and a desire to throw up. He felt the usual Charya was good enough since she felt very approachable.

"Matthew from Thiveapia Kingdom. It is my honor to clash blades against the famous Thunder Dancer. I wish I could see the famous Sword Rite of Elder Charya." Matthew greeted her back.

"Then, I hope Minister Matthew can do his best to force me to use it." Charya looked at him while releasing her battle aura. She looked like a fierce tiger, trying to look for an opening before jumping toward him.

"I will explain the rule one more time. Although you can surrender in the battle, your team can't surrender directly in this match. If you manage to defeat your opponent, you can choose to continue or give up.

"Killing is not prohibited. But after seeing the performance of Array Plate from before, we decided to ban the usage of Array Plate. After all, what we want to see here is the strength of the fighters from each influence.

"If your opponent has surrendered, you can't attack him anymore. Of course, deliberately waiting until someone's sword reaches your neck before surrendering is prohibited. You can't complain if you die because of that."

Charya took out her blue sword while releasing her 60 meter Sword Domain. On the other hand, Matthew took out a silver spear from his spear. Sadly, they were disappointed the moment they saw Matthew releasing 45 meter Spear Domain.

They were probing each other's power before the match started. Although Matthew's strength seemed lower than Charya, it was not at the point of suppression. He should be able to put up a good fight against Charya.

"Match Start!"

As soon as they heard that, both of them disappeared.
