158 Tournament 13

Name:Gacha Sovereign Author:Fixten
Twenty years old almost a Sword Grandmaster, this is a peerless genius. Conn looks at Alex like a national treasure. If he becomes a Sword King, he will immediately dominate the entire continent. What if he becomes the Sword Emperor or even Sword Saint. It said that even the strongest continent, the Heavenly Continent. The Sword Saint in that continent can still be counted with finger. As for the Sword God, it was only a legend, it is said that a Sword God can cut the world into two with a single swing. But of course, the world wasn't a big world like this Upper World. A Sword God might be able to cut a small lower world in a single slash.

That is the reason why he suddenly becomes obsessed with Alex. As for his cultivation, according to his inquiry from Su Hua. It seems that Alex has a somewhat high skill in Alchemy. That means he must have spent a numerous amount of time in Alchemy. If he didn't waste his time in Alchemy, he might reach 4-Star Martial Master or even higher. In other words, his cultivation talent is also top-notch.

"He is mine!" Conn stated as he disappeared and went to the arena.

...

"Heavenly Sword Sect welcome you. It is our honor to have a genius like you" Conn said while smiling.

Alex was surprised by the sudden appearance of an old man in front of him. After he saw his face, he knows that this old man is an elder from Heavenly Sword Sect. But suddenly, another old man appeared. Alex knows who is this old man, he is the old man that he met in the Alchemist Guild, Elder Su Hua from Mount Hua Sect.

"Wait, I have told you he is Mount Hua Sect Disciple."

"But, you also told me that he wanted to join my Heavenly Sword Sect. Don't steal our disciple."

"Hmph, You also still wait and see back then. Young Alexander, this old man would sacrifice you back then if you lose." Su Hua said while pointing at Conn Kindellan. After that, he said proudly, "But, I will recruit you even if you lose in the preliminary round. Look at my Sincerity. Just a nod from you, you will immediately become Mount Hua Sect, Inner Disciple."

"You wanna fight me, Old Su?" Conn glared at him hatefully.

"I'm not afraid of you." Su Hua glared back while releasing his aura.

Because of that, the Elder from Rainbow Flower Sect, Amira Austin, and the monk from Buddha Sect, Dominic Phelan, come and stop them.

"Amithaba. If you are going to fight, you will only scare this young man."

"But this old man wanted to snatch my Heavenly Sword Sect Disciple!" Conn is pointing his finger toward Su Hua.

"I have said that he is mine, first!"

"But I haven't promised you. So he is mine!"

"You are insane, he is also talented in Alchemy. So he will follow me to Mount Hua Sect."

"You are the insane one. You need to make a pill to fix your own brain!"

"Gya Gya Gya~!"

They continued bad-mouthing each other.

Alex looked at the other elders. Amira smile wryly. "They are fighting like a kid. Can't they act according to their age? Well, you are just that talented, if you are a girl. I might also snatch you from them."

"That's right, sadly you didn't have a knack to be a monk. If not, I will also participate in it."

Amira said that because she didn't know Alex still has his Pure Fire and Spear Intent. If she knows, she might snatch him. Even if their sect only recruit a female disciple, they will make the exception just for him. If not, they might entice him with the entire sect. Rainbow Flower Sect become a Harem Sect exclusive for him. Well, he might be killed by System. As for the Buddha Sect...It is still didn't have a relation with their Buddha Sect, they can only sigh in defeat.

The spectators were bewildered, a Young Man that incite a fight between two elders from different sects. Is his talent that big?

Those family heads obviously know it. After all, they were also in the same VIP Seat. They know what kind of talent Alex is. All of them are thinking about how about betrothed him with their daughter, all of them except Takata. Well, he is Kenshin's sworn brother, he didn't need to do anything. If Alex knows about it, he will question himself, 'Why the adults around me love to make their daughter with me...'

In the arena, Alex can only accept one of them. He has decided. "I'm sorry, Elder Su Hua. Thank you for elder Su Hua appreciation on me, But I still choose to join Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Haha, good good good. You choose the right choice." Conn immediately laughed like crazy.

"Wait, is there something you don't like about Mount Hua Sect? or is it because my Granddaughter, I will discipline her and let her serve you in Mount Hua Sect."

"Young man, don't worry. Our Heavenly Sword Sect beauty don't lose with theirs."

Alex shakes his head, "No, there is nothing like that. It just from the start, I'm planning to join Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Good good. You will immediately become an Inner Disciple if not Core Disciple" Conn Kindellan nodded his head repeatedly.

"May I ask something, Elder Conn?"

"What is it?"

"If Kenshin joins the Heavenly Sword Sect, which disciple will he become?" Alex asked.

"Oh, that Himura brat. He will need to start from the bottom, so he will become Outer Disciple."

"I see, I will become Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, but I do have a few conditions, Elder Conn Kindellan." Alex said.

"Oh, do tell. I will agree to it" Conn said casually since Alex made sure that he will join his sect.

"I hope to start from the bottom, in other words, I also want to start from an Outer Disciple, and I request elder Conn didn't say anything about my power."

"Oh, why is that?" Conn was surprised by Alex's request.

"My master told me, I can't depend too much from others. He wanted me to become an expert because of my own effort, that is his teaching style. That's why he leaves me, he will check me once in a while, though."

"Oh, where is your Master, then?"

"My Master is currently traveling. He didn't have any influence" Alex said.

Conn frowned, who is his master, to teach someone like Alex and leaving him alone. Should he search for his master and ask him to end their Master-Disciple relationship?

Alex continued, "Well, even though he didn't have any influence. He can still easily kill Martial Emperors. He said that he met someone from Heavenly Sword Sect in the past. So he wanted me to join this sect."

Half of them are the truth, while the rest is a lie. Maxwell can indeed kill Martial Emperors easily since he is 'God'. But he didn't have anything to do with Heavenly Sword Sect, he said this so they can keep his talent a secret and help him in the back, it is also for his cover. But for everyone who listens to what Alex said just now, they gasped. To kill Martial Emperors easily, that means he needs to be at least a Martial Saint. Never in their thought that his master is so powerful. No, it can be said that he is really qualified to teach someone like Alex.

"And from that, I'm afraid that I can't have another Master" Alex said while scratching his cheek.

Conn frowned, it is a bit troublesome, he said that his Master knows someone from Heavenly Sword Sect, but who is he? Who is the one he met back then? That's right, they need to bind him to Heavenly Sword Sect. If they bind Alex to their sect, they will also get help from a powerful expert, let's say. Since he has a master, then how about a teacher? Master and Disciple, while Teacher and Student. "How about a Teac-"

Before he finished his words, Alex also said. "Please don't say about though I have a Master and Disciple relationship there is still a Teacher and Student relationship. My master had already used that trick back then."

"Guh!" Conn was defeated. "Fine, I accept that. As for your secret..."

He glanced toward the other elders, of course, if what Alex said is true about his master, they don't want to offend someone like that.

"I know, I will keep this a secret, I swear it to the Heaven and Earth if I revealed your secret, may thunder strike me, destroy my cultivation, and extinguish my soul. Haiz, how about you come to Rainbow Flower Sect, we didn't lose against Heavenly Sword Sect, and our sect filled with beauties to boot." Amira said.

"Wait, don't you dare to seduce him" Conn interrupted her hurriedly.

"Or do you want to be a woman and become our Sect Mistress? Elder Su Hua, can you make a pill to change gender."

"Haiz, If it's for a mortal, it is easy. But for a cultivator, it is impossible" Su Hua shakes his head in disappointment.

Alex's face becomes pale. What the heck are these two talking about? Gender Bender? F*ck you! He glad that he didn't choose to join their sect.

"Amithaba. I will keep your identity as a secret, I swear it to the Heaven and Earth if I revealed your secret, may thunder strike me, destroy my cultivation, and extinguish my soul. We, Buddha Sect, didn't really like trouble."

Alex nodded. But, Conn suddenly said. "Wait!"

"Old Su, you still haven't sworn."

"Tch." He clicked his tongue, he is busted, "I swear it to the Heaven and Earth if I revealed your secret, may thunder strike me, destroy my cultivation, and extinguish my soul. You too, Old Conn."

"I swear it to the Heaven and Earth if I revealed your secret, may thunder strike me, destroy my cultivation, and extinguish my soul." Conn. Now, all of them have sworn. This is the most reasonable way to make others keep their promise. Once they swore in Heaven and Earth, they can't break their promise. There were some fools that dare to break this, and the world sent the tribulation and extinguished their souls.

"When are we leaving?" Alex asked.

"Since the sun almost set, so we will leave tomorrow morning." Conn said, "After you received the reward, we will go back to the Himura House, since you are staying on there right now."

Alex nodded, telling that he understood. Alex relieved for now. It was like he was blabbering his secret, but it was only a part of them is the truth and part of them is a lie to cover him as a mysterious man. It can protect him in a short time, at the time, his identity was known by many. He already has the strength to protect himself

The ranking is out.

1st - Alexander Sirius

2nd - Nakagawa Hiina

3rd - Himura Kenshin

4th - Ray Adams

5th - Nakagawa Hikotaka

6th - Himura Tsunehira

7th - Soga Tsutsuyo

8th - Kitajo Kagemochi

9th - Kusunoki Kayo

10th Itagaki Kyousuke

Alex received his reward, Rank 3 Body Nourishing Pill. Well, it is a perfect purity Rank 3 Body Nourishing Pill, he will take it. After receiving the rewards. It seems that the elders are recruiting the winner. Alexander Sirius, Himura Kenshin, and Nakagawa Hikotaka decided to join Heavenly Sword Sect. Nakagawa Hiina and Soga Tsutsuyo join the Rainbow Flower Sect along with Kusunoki Kayo, who already accepted to be their disciple before the tournament. Buddha Sect get Ray Adams and Itagaki Kyousuke. While Mount Hua Sect didn't get anyone. They just participate in the tournament as a formality. Their primary focus is in the Alchemist Guild. That's why Alex met Su Hua in the Alchemist Guild. Of course, that doesn't mean they didn't accept any practitioner, they hold the recruitment in the sect separately.

After giving the prizes for them, Hiina suddenly come to Alex. "What is it?"

"In three years, I will challenge you again in Willow Continent Grand Meeting" Hiina said that and walked away.

Alex asked Conn, "What is this Willow Continent Grand Meeting?"

"It is another tournament like this one. They are holding two separate tournaments. For those who are at Grandmaster Stage, and for those who are at Martial Lord Stage. They were officially held every ten years. So, you might want to take the Grandmaster Stage in three years."

"I see" Alex nodded. If Anna were here, she would retort him with, 'You are underestimating Young Master too much.'

After that, Alex meets Kenshin and leads Elder Conn to Himura House. Nakagawa Hikotaka will come to Himura House in the morning.

Conn followed them. But, he remembered something. As he recalled that thing, he grinned. "I can't do Master-Disciple or Teacher-Student trick, but there is one more trick that I can use"
