Gacha Sovereign

Alex was thrown to the air as one of the fists came to his way. A cultivator can fly but to adjust their balance after this and dodged the fist. It was impossible for them even if they can fly. But Alex was different. He suddenly stepped on the air as he stepped on the ground.

With that, he forcefully regained his bearing and dodged the fist. Alex used 'Sky Step' a few times and finally got back to his attack stance. Alex raised his sword. Their distance was around ten meters. Alex swung his sword down before suddenly, a huge sword appeared as the extension of his sword.

"Sun Beam"

It was the move he copied from Charya. And because this move was only an extension of his sword. He didn't mind to cover it with his Sword Intent. The giant sword came down from the sky to cut the giant doll.

With Fist Intent covered it, the battle doll raised its hand to hold that sword directly. Alex's 500 bulls strength, obviously didn't manage to fight the doll's 700 bulls strength. Although Alex can use his Immovable Step, with that two 700 bulls strength arms and the ground. He might still be able to block it.

That's why Alex used another approach. He was in the air. There was another approach he can use. Although he seldom used this move. It was because the chance to use it perfectly not came so often. But now there was a height difference for them. He can finally use it.

"Heavy Step"

Everything about him suddenly increased in weight. It also transferred to his sword. Alex used this move a few times and managed to overpower his opponent. But to get to a situation where he can use it, it was a bit hard. That's why he often used 'Immovable Step' which more flexible. But in terms of heaviness alone, this 'Heavy Step' was even more powerful than 'Immovable Step'

Along with Alex's Sword Intent and the full force of his heaviness. It surpassed his one dragon strength like when he used his Immovable Step. And Gunzo felt that heaviness. The ground started to crack. From a meter in diameter, until it became a ten meter crack. At that point, Gunzo's doll lost its strength, and the doll was finally broken.

The blade still continued on its path. The referee hadn't stopped this because Gunzo still hadn't given up yet. But he was ready to make his move at any moment. Gunzo raised his hands to block this move.

"Steel Body"

Although he was strong and his dolls able to block a portion of its strength. It still didn't stop the sword. Gunzo fell to his knees before he was pinned down to the ground. At that time, Alex stopped his sword and recalled it as the result was clear for the referee to see.

"Alexander Sirius Wins!"

Gunzo laid down on the ground, powerlessly as blood flowed from his mouth. Now that he was lying on the ground. His eyes stared at the blue sky up there. He knew. He had lost. But he was convinced about this defeat.

Alex came to him and looked at him silently. Gunzo knew what he wanted to know. "You have met him back then. It is Abram. I am not lying."

Alex nodded and left. The referee helped Gunzo up. Finally, the cheers burst out from the audience. It took them a while to know what just happened in the arena.

"He wins..."

"Yeah, it is unbelievable, but he really wins."

"Kya. My prince"

"He is my idol from now."

Alex came back. Song Yu and the rest congratulated him. After saying goodbye to Lena and Evelyn. Alex and the rest came back to their house. Evelyn said she would come tomorrow. Lena also will move out tomorrow.

Alex had the name that spread such a rumor. Although he was not bothered by the rumor. At least, it had some impacts on his surroundings. So, Alex decided to get back to that person, Abram. Luckily, he will meet him in the second fight tomorrow, in the fight for the top ten. As that fight will be the last battle, he didn't mind in fighting him 'seriously'.

The next day, Alex came with Putri and Song Yu again. But today, Alex asked something from them. "Senior Sister, my second opponent today...is that Abram something has a teacher?"

Song Yu was clueless since she didn't keep track of it. Especially since she was a Martial Lord, she didn't care about the matter in Martial Master. But Putri was different, she kept track everything, not everyone but at least those from the top ten and popular enough. She kept track of their information.

"No, his behavior is a problem, so no elders want to take him in. I heard that he also didn't have any mentor. Why do you ask?" Putri explained.

"Nothing. Just wanted some payback" Alex said casually

Putri's eyes brightened. "Oh, so he is the one. Sure, beat him hard. It is hard for us to explain it to our Junior Sister too."

At first, Song Yu was clueless. But after hearing that, she immediately enlightened. She grinned. "Beat him hard. His background is not that much, and he didn't have any backer inside the sect. You can not cripple or kill him. But beating him black and blue is legal."

"Good enough" Alex nodded.

Evelyn and Lena finally came. All of them were in the top 100. With another three fights...Alex got into a special bracket this time, so he only needs to fight twice. While Evelyn and Lena need to fight thrice. Alex watched the fights from the side.

Today, there were another three elders watched the tournament. There were eight out of twenty elders who were watching the arena. Some of the participants started to get nervous. In the fight, some of them can't put their all in the fight because of that. Obviously, for those people, the elders immediately ignored them. If they can't even bring out their full potential in a fight that did not have too much pressure like this. How can they bring their full potential in a life and death battle?

Lena's first opponent was a 10-Star Martial Master. But after a hard fight, Lena somehow managed to defeat him. But, from her condition, she might need to take a rest. Or, in other words, surrender. But it seems she still wanted to fight till the last drop. In her exhaustion state, her determination didn't decrease. After yesterday's incident, the true soul of a warrior that had been buried inside her heart might have broken free from that darkness.

On the other hand, Evelyn fought a 9-Star Martial Master. With her capability, it was not that much fight for her.

In the second round, Alex's name finally called by the referee. His opponent was rank 30th, Suzaku. But, after looking at yesterday's fight with Gunzo. Alex had beaten him pretty easy, even though Suzoku had 10-Star Master Stage Cultivation. Because of yesterday's match, Alex had revealed his 'Sky Movement' and his 'Sun Beam' as well as his strength. He had more ways to defeat his opponent without revealing another Martial Art because he needs to save it for his next opponent.

Evelyn had beaten her opponent again, and judging from the condition, she should be able to defeat her next opponent. With that, she finally became the top ten contenders. As for Lena, Alex had expected it, she lost to her opponent. She had fought with everything she had but still unreachable.

The third round had come. Alex's turn came first at this round. Alex didn't mind though, no, he was very eager to do this. He came to the stage and looked at the violet hair young man that had been waiting for him on the stage.

"Hmph, although you managed to win yesterday's fight. It doesn't mean you are great. In a battle, everything might not be resolved by strength. You also need brain."

...

"Senior Sister Putri, who is exactly this 'Abram'? Did he really the one who spread the rumor?" Evelyn asked.

"I don't know if he is the one who spread the rumor, and I don't know where Alex gets that information about that. But, judging from the personalities that he had shown all this time. It is most likely he is the one who spread the information. There is another rumor about his identity.

I heard he is a former Young Master. He can't succeed in his house. With that frustration, his personality becomes problematic. He becomes cruel and ruthless, resorting to many underhanded tricks." Putri explained to her what she knew.

"Then, will Big Brother Alex fine?" Evelyn started to worry.

Putri looked at the arena, "He should be fine. Even if I don't say all of this, he is holding back too much. And, we might not have our opponent information sometime. This is also a lesson for him. But, I am sure he can overcome this."

Putri strangely had absolute confidence in Alex. Even Song Yu was dumbfounded by it. While Evelyn and Lena looked at her in confusion. Only Putri had known Alex's talent. Alex had not used his 'Pentagram Slash' and 'Omnislash'. The same as Evelyn, he had not used his Sword Intent to its full strength.

Putri also knew Alex still had his powerful flame. Although at that time, their pursuers were pressurized by the situation to chase them, it didn't stop the fact that his fire can kill them easily. They were a Martial Grandmaster to boot. As for his identity as an Array Master, Alex would not reveal it at this tournament, she was pretty sure in that.

...

"Brain huh..." Alex looked at Abram without any expression. Suddenly he spoke, "Like spreading rumor?"

"Hmph! It is not a rumor, it is a fact. You are too coward to face them." Abram snorted.

Although he didn't admit it directly, Alex knew that what Gonzu said was true. Abram was the culprit. "If I need to fight every challenger, won't I be too busy to cultivate? Or is that what you want?"

"Hmph. You dare to slander me! I will show you the power of a real top disciple!" Abram took out his spear.

"Match Starts!"

As soon as the referee said that, Abram immediately shoot out his spear. Normally, other people will wait for their opponent to take their weapon out, but Abram immediately released his attack without doing that. Unfortunately, Alex was familiar with his type. Alex recognized his attacks, it was 'Quick Silver'.

With many arrows shaped light coming toward him, Alex only activated his Spirit Eyes. He immediately the flow of energy of the arrow, flying toward him at a slower speed. It was not the skills that got slower, it just his vision that can see slower. There was seven light that coming to him.

With so much slower vision, Alex can see where they will hit him. He moved his body slightly, and the seven attacks passed through him.

"What just happened?"

"I think all the attacks passed through him?"

"But, he moved a bit. He must dodge it at that time."

The audiences were dumbfounded and confused by that. Even the elders also narrowed their eyes. It was a quick attack, and it should take him by surprise. But, Alex dodged them with a very minimal movement.

"Gahaha" Charya only laughed. After all, she had experienced it herself. Her attack in her 'Sword Rite' along with her 'Lightning' was at the same speed. Even though they were at the same speed, Alex was troubled with the unpredictable move from her. If he was asked, 'Which one harder to dodge'. Alex will answer, 'it is her attacks that are harder to dodge.

He was at 5-Star Martial Master at that time. And now he was an 8-Star Martial Master. She would be confused if he was hit by that.

Alex took that chance to take out his sword.

"Sanguin Sword Art. Fifteenth Slash"

Although Abram's move was a bit unhonorable, his skills were a real deal. It was proven by the fact he can launch seven 'Quick Silver'. Alex can see that Abram sacrificed the power of 'Quick Silver' and emphasized the speed. For a surprise attack, it might be effective, but if it was in a prepared fight. There won't be any opponent who will fall for that.

Abram dodged 'Sanguin Sword Art'. Now Alex was sure. Abram was specialized in speed. He might need to be careful since he didn't know his element yet. If his element can boost his speed, it will be troublesome.
