Gacha Sovereign

There were only three fights left for the tournament. The first fight was Eric versus Florinda. This was also an exciting fight as they were the former number one and number two of Inner Disciple before Alex came. The second fight was Vicky versus Alex. If they needed to choose which fight would be better, then this fight would be selected. There was only a single reason for that. Alex might not know about this, but every Inner Disciple knew.

Vicky had been pursuing Intan for many years. Seeing the love in his heart became like that, he could not swallow it.

The third elder came as usual, but this time he was accompanied by the sect master. He had been watching Alex's performance this entire time, even though he was not here. And he was also shocked when he heard about Alex's ability.

He never thought of using a Spear Domain with a sword possible. Although he wanted to see the match yesterday, he was too busy. Unfortunately, he also heard about the problem that Alex would soon encounter.

He had beaten the first genius of the Makmur Family as well as the third princess of the Southern Kingdom. With those two alone, the Southern Kingdom might kill him without caring about his protection. Of course, if needed, he would not be scared to pick a fight with the Southern Kingdom.

He wanted to see whether Alex was really going to beat another person from the Southern Kingdom. Although Eric Kasmanan had lost his family, he was also a genius from the former Kasmanan Family. If Alex indeed beat him again, then it could be said that he specifically targeted the Southern Kingdom.

He did not know about the scheme of Princess Mega with Eric and Intan. So, this was the only conclusion he could come up with.

He also sighed when he saw Alex. Alex was surely a peerless genius. If he normally cultivated in the sect, he might be able to become a Martial King. Unfortunately, he was too young and reckless. He wanted to make a war with the entire kingdom with his 8-Star Martial Grandmaster strength. He thought Alex was foolish.

He would just wait and see for the time being.

The sect master nodded and went to his seat, giving the third elder the opportunity to start the tournament.

"Well, after three long days. We have seen many battles. There are fast battles, long battles, or even some drama. There are another three matches, and we could finally see who is the top Inner Disciple.

"I am not good with some speech, so without further ado. Let's start the tournament. First match: Eric Kasmanan versus Florinda."

Soon enough, a brown-haired man appeared on the stage. His expression was cold, and his aura was like a calm storm that contained deep hatred, ready to swallow his prey.

On the other side, there was a pretty young lady. She had lavender hair that tied into twin tails. Although she appeared to be cold and aloof, her expression was not fierce like the man's expression.

They were Eric Kasmanan and Florinda. Eric said coldly, "You better surrender now. The number one place will always be for me, not you."

"There is still him." She said casually.

"Hmph. He is somewhat okay, but that is all. Although he might be able to breakthrough to 8-Star Martial Grandmaster yesterday, eventually, he is only 8-Star Martial Grandmaster.

"He had a hard fight with that Intan, so he won't be able to beat me. So, Surrender! If not, then don't blame me for being impolite." Eric said coldly.

When people heard him, they thought Eric was too proud. Especially when it reached Florinda's ear, she could only interpret it as a taunt. "You talk like you already won."

"Hmph."

"Match Start!" The third elder announced.

Both of them immediately took out their swords and released their Sword Domain. Both of them had a twenty-meter domain.

They jumped forward at the same time and swung their sword. It was only for probing their opponent's strength. But it seemed their strength was the same as none of them budged even an inch.

Florinda made the first move. Her sword slid on Eric's sword before she waved it toward the ground.

"Four Direction Slash."

The four slashes immediately flew from him from the sides, below and above him. But Eric was not scared. He took two steps back before swinging his sword. Since the four direction slashes were targeting him, they were going to meet at some point. He took that chance to send it back toward Florinda with his sword.

"Counter Swing." When those slashes gathered into one point, he swung his sword and sent it back like hitting a baseball.

Florinda was not fl.u.s.tered by this as she had researched Eric's power for so long to take the first position. She waved her sword lightly and destroyed it.

"Thunder Sword." She immediately released her element on her sword as lightning started covering her sword. She struck forward, and the lightning traveled on the ground before rising up again, trying to strike Eric.

Eric only stomped the ground once with his feet, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly rose. It blocked Florinda's lightning attack.

"I am bored, so I will finish this now," Eric said coldly. He waved his sword to the ground, and many long spikes suddenly rose from the ground. It continued to appear toward Florinda.

She jumped forward to dodge the spike and swung her sword.

"Seven Stars Cut." This was her trump card.

She was able to fuse her lightning to her Seven Stars Cut. It gave her four layers Seven Stars Cut more power than it was supposed to have. She thought since Eric's element was Earth, he should not be able to do the same because of element affinity.

"Seven Stars Cut." Eric also responded the same.

And it was like what she had expected. Eric indeed could not fuse his Earth Element because of Element affinity. But when both Seven Stars Cut clashed, the result suddenly appeared. Eric's Seven Stars Cut suddenly cut through Florinda's Seven Stars Cut.

It was so shocking for everyone to see that. Florinda's Seven Stars Cut was indeed covered by her lightning element. Still, sadly, it was only four layers Seven Stars Cut.

With that poor control of lightning, Eric, who suddenly made a five layers Seven Stars Cut, quickly cut her sword wave down. This was the problem for high ranking cultivators. Cultivators had three paths, they could become weapon cultivators, mastering in sword, spear, or whatever, or they could master their elements and become Elemental cultivators.

The third path was the most arduous path, they thread on both paths. Florinda and Alex were on this path while Eric was on the first path.

Unfortunately, unlike Alex, who had his Pure Fire as the firepower, and his control because of his Alchemy practice. It was a bit clear for everyone who threaded on the third path to see that Florinda's lightning element control was not as powerful as her sword.

It was because she somehow neglected the basics of her element mastery. To become a sword Grandmaster at her age, she could be considered as a genius. But because of that, she neglected her element a little bit.

Putri and Intan also had threaded this path. Intan can become strong because she had Makmur Family as her backing. Putri also had the ninth elder to help her. But she was not, she was alone.

Although she was able to fuse her lightning with Seven Stars Cut, it had yet to reach the same level of Eric's Seven Stars Cut.

Eric's Seven Stars Cut continued flying toward her and forced the third elder to stop the fight.

"Eric Kasmanan wins!" He announced.

Eric snorted and left the arena.

…

After the hype, the third elder finally announced the next fight.

"Alexander Sirius versus Vicky."

The cheers turned into an uproar. What they wanted to see was how Vicky paid Alex back for what he did to the woman he pursued.

Alex obviously did not know something like this. If Putri and the others were here, they would warn him about this. Unfortunately, they were not here, so Alex was clueless when he entered the arena and saw the hatred in Vicky's eyes.

"I will pay you back for what you have done to Intan. How dare you do that to her!"

Vicky was a handsome guy with short blue hair. He was also a spear user. Back then, he was always defeated by Intan, and because both of them used a spear, he kept challenging Intan. Without him knowing, he had fallen in love with Intan.

Intan did not love him, but he never minded it. He kept pursuing Intan like crazy. If she were the first, then he would be the second. If Intan were third, he would always be the fourth. That was what he was aiming for.

But Alex made her lose her ability to wield a spear, the reason why he fell in love with Intan. That was the reason why he felt so angry as he wanted to kill Alex as soon as possible.

"You bast*rd, I will kill you even if I need to be disqualified." He shouted with full of hatred.

Alex was confused as he didn't understand the reason why he was like that. He looked at the third elder with a weird expression. He asked, "Is that okay to fight a person like this?"

"…" The third elder also started to worry about Vicky's condition. He sighed, "Don't worry. I will make sure no life is gone in this battle. Well, from the rumor I have heard, he is pursuing Intan Wulan Makmur."

Alex opened his mouth in astonishment. He never knew he had a backstory like that. Well, he was wondering if he should destroy him too, as he might possess a threat later… But he might not be able to do it in this match and near in the future.

After all, he would escape from the sect as soon as he won. He would just put him under observation. If there were a need to kill him, he would kill him after he came back.

He then nodded to the third elder.

"Match Start!"

Vicky was obsessed with Intan, so he even learned every spear art that Intan had learned, except their Makmur Family Martial Arts such as Jewel Wind.

But because of that, he had the same fighting spear style as Intan.

As soon as the match started, Vicky thrust his spear toward Alex.

"Silver Raven."

Seeing this, Alex also countered it with his Silver Sovereign. He thrust his sword to his spear.

Because of the force, both of them were forced to retreat a few step backs. With the same style as Intan, Vicky immediately raised his spear and shot a few Quick Silver.

"Quick Silver."

When Alex saw that, he waved his sword.

"Pentagram Slash."

He cut all those attacks with his Pentagram Slash. He then took out twenty swords from his Inventory and let them soar in the air.

"As expected, you can only use a weapon at a time. This is the reason why you refuse Hannibal to use your full power. Then it is easy for me to defeat you." Vicky said with confidence.

Alex looked at him like a fool. He refused Hannibal because he wanted to win, not to prove something. It seemed Vicky had misunderstood him.

He looked at Vicky, who was ready to charge.

"I don't care what will happen to me. Since if I die, you will also be disqualified." Vicky grinned evilly. He suddenly disappeared.

Alex could see him. He was charging at him with a breakneck speed. Alex quickly used his twenty swords, plunged him, but because he didn't care what would happen to him. The twenty swords missed him.

Vicky appeared in front of Alex and thrust his spear.

"!!!" Alex immediately blocked his spear with his sword, but because of his momentum, Alex was blown away.

Vicky blew him toward the wall. But before Alex crashed into the wall, he used his Sky Step to stabilize himself in mid-air and jumped back toward the arena.
