"Seven Stars Cut"

Charya's Seven Stars Cut made up of five layers of Sword Wave. Because of the limitation of 5-Star Martial Master, she can only make five layers with that tiny bit of Spiritual Energy. But to her surprise, Alex only made a single layer Seven Stars Cut. This confused her very much.

Alex can only make a single layer Seven Stars Cut? Is this a joke? From his previous skills, there was no way that is true. But, the evidence was present. But what happened next made them shocked to the core.

Two overbearing Sword Wave finally clashed. Alex's one layer Seven Stars Cut, easily cut Charya's five layers Seven Stars Cut. If Charya's Seven Stars Cut was a kind of five layers of wooden wall. Then, Alex's Seven Stars Cut was one layer of metal. It was only made by the original three layers of Seven Stars Cut that fused with each other. He can make three layers Seven Stars Cut at 5-Star Martial Master was because he used 'Full Throttle' to boost his strength by bit.

Then, if later Alex can fuse four layers Seven Stars Cut, it maybe became a stronger type of metal or even diamond. And it will continuously evolve until he reached the seven layers. But Charya's Seven Stars Cut will always be a wooden wall, even if she produced seven layers Seven Stars Cut, it would only be seven layers of wooden walls. That was the comparison between the true Seven Stars Cut, and the Seven Stars Cut that everyone in the sect learned. This was the reason why Alex was a very special person currently in the sect.

Alex's Sword Wave passed through the obstacle like cutting tofu. It continued flying toward Charya. Charya, or even Song Yu and Putri, sweatdropped.

"Master!" Both Song Yu and Putri shouted.

"Not good" Charya frowned. Boundless Sword Intent suddenly came from within her body. It suddenly surrounded her, making a sphere of energy with ten meters of radius. If one saw this sphere, they will feel how sharp this sphere of energy is. If a Martial Master came unprepared inside that sphere, he/she would be torn to pieces.

When Alex's Seven Stars Cut came inside the sphere. The energy from the sphere started tearing the Sword Wave aggressively. The Sword Wave Energy was starting to vanish step by step. And by the time it reached Charya, the Sword Wave was no more.

It was really a spectacle to behold. Song Yu and Putri finally breathed out. Charya laughed happily, "Gahaha, This guy is really good. I never thought someone could finally comprehend the true Seven Stars Cut. I use my lightning and my Sword Rite. I never thought this guy is not only almost reach Sword Grandmaster. He can also comprehend the true Seven Stars Cut. He even forced me to use my Sword Domain."

"True Seven Stars Cut?" Song Yu and Putri shocked. Their jaw dropped to the ground. Song Yu, who also used Sword finally gathered her energy to ask, "Master...What do you mean? True Seven Stars Cut?"

"It is as I said. This is the knowledge you can know after you become an Elder of one of the twenty peaks. The Seven Stars Cut that popular inside the sect isn't the true Seven Stars Cut. It is proven by people from three generations above us. But they keep this as a secret. After all, there is no way Heavenly Sword Sect can say that their core Sword Art was a downgrade one at that time. The other sects will laugh at us and probably will attack us.

But now the time has passed, even the other Sects have been familiar with our current Seven Stars Cut. So, now even some disciples of an elder might already told by their master about this. Of course, they won't tell the truth to others. So, I expect the same thing from you two. Haiz, now all of it makes sense. Why Sect Master personally makes a move for him and why he wants you to be his tutor. He sold us off to him."

"Sect Master sold us?" Putri looked at Charya, surprised.

"!!!" Song Yu immediately understood what she means.

"What? Do you have any feeling to him?" Charya teased them while looking at Alex, who strangely still standing on his original spot without moving.

"He is my Junior Brother" Song Yu immediately said while Putri nodded her head in agreement without any expression.

"Well, we can't know what happens in the future. But, I can say he is a trustworthy man and respect us. I don't have any complaints, whether in his skills or his personality. I'm sure he won't do something excessive like forcing himself on you or something. So, I'm fine if you want to be with him."

"That's impossible" Song Yu said while smiling. Putri only nodded her head again.

"Ahaha, I'm just saying that. But that saying might be different in the future" Charya teased again.

"Then, why don't Master take him too? I mean, he said you are also attractive in his eyes."

"Haha, well, it seems that he is waiting for us. Let's go." Charya said while walking toward Alex. Song Yu and Putri followed her.

They were surprised by Alex's appearance when they arrived in front of him. Alex's eyes were closed while his breathing was slow but steady. All of them immediately knew why Alex didn't come to them this whole time and only stand here unmoved. This was really shocking to them, Alex fainted while standing this whole time.

"Gahaha, This time, We don't know who are the winner" Charya laughed happily.

"It's obvious he is the winner! You have already used all of your strengths, including your element, you even used your Spiritual Energy as a Martial Lord to resupply your energy. And you even used your Sword Domain to block the last attack." Song Yu immediately retorted her.

"Alright alright, I already know that. Oh wait, it seems this little Song Yu has taken a liking on him?" Charya was surprised by the sudden outbreak from her.

Song Yu didn't say anything. She didn't have any feeling like the one in her teacher's mouth for Alex at the moment, the only thing she had was gratitude when he saved her from the annoying Izak. She let Alex down, laying on the ground while supporting his head on her arm. "Master, Did he really use the true Seven Stars Cut?"

"Yeah. I assure you. His Seven Stars Cut's essence is different from us."

"What is the difference?"

"It is useless to ask me. I only got a hint from that attack. How about you ask him yourself? Maybe he will teach you? After all, if the true Seven Stars Cut sees the light once again. The sect will become more prosperous." Charya said.

"Master...are you saying to sacrifice my body?"

"No. It seems I didn't make it clear enough. I talked to him alone just now, and I can assure you, he has a good personality. Maybe, he will only ask you to teach him another Sword Art for him."

"Another Sword Art? But he just chose a Sword Art inside the Pavilion."

"Ah, I forget to tell you this one. Sect Master, no more accurately Seventh Elder, said that his talent in the sword is unparalleled. I don't really understand what he means by that since he explained it, in a very complex and roundabout way. It seems he is under the Heavenly Oath. So, he can't say that fully. But, from what I understand, He can use a Sword Art just by looking others used it a few times."

"Ah!" Song Yu obviously very shocked to hear that. That was impossible for her. And even in her home, there was no such genius...no such monster like that. In other words, Alex can copy the Sword Art just by looking? She looked at her Junior Brother like looking at a mons...unparalleled genius.

Putri was currently tongue tied because of the shock. Song Yu still didn't believe such a thing. "Are you serious, Master? I mean, you might misinterpret Seventh Elder, you know."

"I don't know. You can just try it with him. I'm sure you know about it soon. I will try to comprehend his Seven Stars Cut from his last attack for the time being. If I really intrigued, I might ask him to trade a Sword Art with me. That if he agreed to it, though. I won't force him if he doesn't want. Anyway, we've talked too much. Bring him back and let him rest."

"Then, I will bring him back. Since I also have a present for him." Song Yu said.

"Ho, a present?" Charya smiled slyly.

Song Yu only looked at her with a poker face, telling her it is not such a thing. She sighed, "It is a Perfect Jade Heart Pill. I hope he hasn't taken a Jade Heart Pill, especially the low grade one..."

Song Yu suddenly looked at him mysteriously. Now that she mentioned it. She finally remembered. For the first time, she heard his voice in front of Battle Tower. She thought she has heard his voice from somewhere but didn't remember it. Now that she recalled about Jade Heart Pill. She remembered a figure of Masked Alchemist who sold her this pill. Their voice was really similar. She didn't recall this earlier because when the Alchemist speaks, his voice turned a bit because he talked behind his mask. Now that she inspected it slowly in her mind. Alex's voice and the masked Alchemist's voice were almost the same.

"Well, whatever." Charya only shrugged her shoulder then turned to Putri, "How about you? I'm going back to my house after this, though."

"Then, I will also go back to my home." Putri nodded

"All right. That's right. Give this to him" Charya took out a token and tossed it to Song Yu. "Explain the use of this token later to him."

Song Yu took the token and nodded. After that, Charya finally flew back to her house on the peak. Song Yu carried Alex on her back, then turned to Putri. "Let's go."

Putri nodded. Song Yu took him to her house. Initially, she asked Putri where is his room. Putri obviously doesn't know about it. So rather than taking him to his house, Song Yu took him to her house first to let him rest.

Two hours later, Alex woke up. Seeing an unfamiliar but feeling at home ceiling. He tried hard to open his tired eyes. The memory of the fight started emerging in his mind. "Ah, I passed out after using that technique. I used it as my last attack. Because of the rebound of 'Full Throttle' coming along my exhausted Spiritual Energy. I passed out. How long have I slept? But judging from my tired body, it seems the 'Full Throttle' side effect still in there. So I only passed out for less than three hours."

Alex checked his surroundings. The room was the same as what he had in his new house when Putri gave him a tour around his house.  "Is this my room?"

"No, This is my room" Song Yu suddenly came in. It seems she picked a sound in this room and noticed he has waken up.

"Senior Sister?" Alex tried to pull his tired body up. Song Yu stopped him from doing so.

"Don't push yourself. It's fine to rest for a bit longer."

"mhmm"

"You are really great to win from Master."

"Eh? I won?" Alex was surprised by it. After all, he is..."But, I'm passed out in the field."

"In the last clash, your Seven Stars Cut force her to use her Sword Domain. After that, she admitted her loss. But we never noticed you have passed out at that time. You were only standing without moving in the field. And when we approached you, we finally realized you have passed out. I was very surprised to see someone passed out while standing"

"I see..." Alex didn't know what to do at the moment. The atmosphere became awkward. Alex came up with something. "What is Sword Domain?"

"Sword Domain is the requirement before someone can become a Sword Grandmaster. But, I heard from Master, you can learn anything about Sword Art easily. Does that apply to Sword Intent and the like?"

Alex shocked by her statement. The only one who knew that in Heavenly Sword Sect is Conn. "Is that from Seventh Elder?"

"...Yes"

Alex sighed. Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. It seems that old fox Conn had tried really hard to search a loophole in that Heavenly Oath. Alex learned about Heavenly Oath from his master, Maxwell. Maxwell said to him, The best way to bind someone was to make them apply a Heavenly Oath. But, just like a contract, if one not detailed enough, there bound to be some loopholes to exploit. And Conn used it. Since it was like that, it seems he needs to make some prestige before the tournament.

"Yes. But, can you tell me what Senior Sister knows about it first?"
