211 Battle Tower 2

The previous fox was a white fox with its size similar to Sherry. Unlike Sherry, the fox didn't have pink color in the tip of its fur. But, they had a similarity around seventy percent. Sherry might find the fox overlapped with her characters and to avoid Alex, taking another fox. She made sure to burn the fox to death. Sherry was sitting on the top of a black fox... poor fox.

They rested for an hour or so before the last wave finally showed up. Sherry and Alex split up. Alex spotted twenty five monsters in the last wave. There were at least fifteen 10-Star Master Stage monsters in his vision along with the 9-Star monsters. Alex and Sherry decided to eliminate them one by one starting from the 9-Star monsters.

Alex and Sherry eliminated all of the 9-Star Master Stage monsters in an hour. They proceeded carefully, so the time was a bit too long. Even so, the result was great since they didn't need to deplete their energy needlessly. Fighting a monster might take five percent of their power, but fighting two monsters might not take only ten percent. It might take fifteen percent or even more, after all, you need to be conscious of the two positions and their attack or even their combination attack.

Alex met his first 10-Star monster in this wave. His opponent was an elephant. Alex took out his sword and his spear. Alex remembered the first time he was here. He didn't want to use his spear or his flame. He was too dependent on them. Since he didn't plan to reveal it to them anytime soon. Alex decided to get used to his sword only. Now, Alex had gotten used to his sword. He also got Spear Arts. Not using it was a waste.

Alex had used his Spear Arts to confirm their power previously. Now, he was thinking of using both of his spear and his sword. After all, his full power was using both of his spear and sword together. Alex wanted to see now that he got power up in both his spear and sword. How about combining both?

He looked at the elephant as he clenched his sword in his right hand and his spear in his left hand. Alex suddenly disappeared.

"Flash Step"

The moment he appeared, he was behind the elephant. Alex just used his 'Silver Raven'. Blood gushed out from one of the elephant's feet. Although Alex's attack might be successful. The truth was different. The wound on the elephant's leg didn't come from his spear. Instead, it was from his sword.

The moment he disappeared. The elephant moved its leg to the inside. It went away from his spear range. Alex immediately switched out from his spear to his sword to injure it as his right hand was closer to the elephant's leg.

The elephant was five meters high. Its leg alone was two meters high. Despite the big body, the elephant was fast. If not, Alex might be able to destroy its leg in that move. The elephant suddenly turned around and swung its giant trunk. Alex used both his spear and his sword to block it along with his 'Heavy Step' to plant himself on the ground. Despite that, the elephant's trunk still managed to blow him away. Alex undid his 'Heavy Step' when he realized he would be blown away. After all, he didn't want only his top body blown, but his body still planted on the ground.

He rather released his 'Heavy Step' so he can adjust his body better. Alex swung his sword as a sword wave flew from his sword.

"Sanguin Sword Art. Fifteenth Slash"

The elephant didn't bother to dodge the sword wave. It used its giant trunk and destroyed it. Alex was surprised to see his Sanguin Sword Art brushed by the elephant just like that.

"Omnislash"

He immediately followed up with his Omnislash. The swords flew to the elephant, and surprisingly, the elephant stomped the ground. It created a powerful shockwave that managed to destroy the ten illusory swords. Alex was surprised. He never thought the elephant could do such a thing.

The elephant almost reached him. Alex suddenly stepped on the air and jumped upward. Like a fighter jet maneuver, with a single leap. Alex let the elephant passed him as he landed at the elephant's back.

"Silver Raven"

Now that he was in the elephant's blind spot. Alex used his Silver Raven once again, and finally, he succeeded in landing a hit on its leg. A hole appeared on the elephant's leg as Alex appeared in front of the elephant once again. But this time, the elephant suddenly fell down. With that hole, the elephant lost one of its legs.

It tried to swing its giant trunk again to Alex from his right. It was met by his sword. Alex didn't use his sword art. Instead, Alex used his spear art, Bear Sovereign, on his sword. It was a success. The sharpness on his sword suddenly increased by many times. When he swung his sword, it was too strong for the elephant to handle.

Alex sliced its giant trunk, and the elephant screamed in pain. Alex didn't want to put the elephant in misery for too long. He swung his spear as three sword waves appeared. The three sword waves fused together, making an overbearing sword wave. The sword wave killed the elephant.

Alex confirmed that he could use his Spear Art with his sword and vice versa. Alex thought that he could only use it like that in a low level Sword or Spear Art. But it seems, that was not the case. Alex was relieved after confirming that.

After killing the elephant, he continued to use both of his sword and his spear so he can get used to them. Alex killed the 10-Star Master Stage monster one by one. Ultimately, he killed nine 10-Star monsters while Sherry killed six. They managed to clear the battle tower. With no more monsters to be summoned, Alex and Sherry were transported back to the real world. Finally, they made a ruckus that reverberated through the whole sect.

'1st Alexander Sirius - 800 Points'

His name shined in a golden light. The people around there finally alarmed. The shock turned to an uproar.

"What?"

"A new first rank?"

"Look at that point, he managed to get 800 points."

"I heard the maximum points you can get is 800 points."

"Don't tell me... he managed to kill all the monsters inside?"

"There is no way, right?"

"Yeah, there are too many 10-Star Monsters in the last wave."

"It might be easy for a Grandmaster to kill them all. But this Outer Disciple Battle Tower, it is impossible to do that even if you are a 10-Star Martial Master."

"I will report this to my Senior Sister."

"Yeah, I will also report this to my Senior Brother."

There was also some disciple from the ninth peak. They immediately went and reported the situation. The rumor and dissatisfaction against Alex were overwritten in a single night with the result.

Charya sipped her wine as she heard the situation from Song Yu, "Gahaha, How many people will get slapped by the result? Song Yu, how many people tried to challenge him in the arena these past few months?"

"There were seventeen people. But I assume they are only a subordinate, the people behind them should be an inner disciple or the top outer disciples."

"I remembered. When you heard those rumors, you wanted to beat those people along with their leaders at that time. Putri stopped you, though."

"Yeah, I indeed wanted to that." Song Yu nodded. "If not because Putri stopped me, even if I can beat those people, the rumor might worsen. Even if Alex didn't care about it, there would be some trouble arise from that"

"Well, it is good now. Since he solved it with flying color. And he really chose the right timing. With this timing, if those people tried to challenge him again. The people might think they wanted to scout his power, considering the Outer Disciple Ranking is only a few days away."

"Yeah, Indeed" Song Yu nodded with a smile.

...

Alex looked at his room full of Spiritual Energy. He and Sherry started absorbing them. He didn't care about the ruckus that he made outside. After all, he will reveal a certain degree of his power in the tournament.

The Spiritual Energy was surely abundant. Alex broke through to 8-Star Martial Master, and Sherry also broke through to 10-Star Master Stage. He felt that he could break through to 9-Star Martial Master with all of this energy. If he can do that, Alex will eat the Energy Pill that made by a 10-Star Master Stage monster core. If he absorbed the pill efficacy, he would be able to advance a rank from 9-Star to 10-Star.

But, the Spiritual Energy slowly decreased. When it was nearly empty, Alex can clearly feel the black hole beside him that sucked all of the energy away. He can feel that he only absorbed a fourth of the energy, and the rest had been sucked dry by Sherry. He should be able to advance if he can have another hour in absorbing the energy, but it was gone. Sherry had sucked it dry.

After sucking it to dry, Sherry stroked her stomach. Her expression was very blissful. She looked at Alex, "Wuu (Master, I'm full. With this, I can break through to Grandmaster Stage. But I need to sleep in the process."

After she said that, She immediately fell asleep. Alex was dumbfounded. She just sucked it to dry and went to sleep. Alex missed his breakthrough because of that. And she just went to sleep. Alex twitched his eyebrows, he almost spat blood because of her. He looked at her, especially her blissful expression. He clenched his right hand like he wanted to hit her...no, he really wanted to hit her. But his left hand like an angel grabbed the fist and held it down.

Alex sighed, he ran around the room, so he didn't break the Battle Tower as his venting target. Can't break public facilities!

After calming down, Alex carried her in his arms as he sent her back. He had absorbed the energy for a few hours. He opened the door. When he was outside, he was met by many curious gazes. Alex had prepared for this, he looked at his name and surprised to see his name coated in a golden color. It might be because of the perfect score.

"Is it him?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I had met him once when he got the ninth position."

"What is his strength?"

"Did he cheat?"

"He is handsome."

"He is my idol from now on."

"Yeah, he is handsome, and his strength is powerful. He is also my idol from now on."

"He might cheat inside the battle tower since we can't know what was happening inside."

"There is no way a handsome guy like him would cheat."

"Yeah, that's right. He is so handsome. He should be one of our prince inside the sect."

They didn't know if they looked at Sherry, they will immediately make a fan club for Alex and Sherry duo and become a die-hard fan.

Even though most people were curious about him. With so many people around, there bound to be someone who was foolish among them. That's right. Suddenly, a big guy appeared in front of him. Short brown hair with a fierce and bandit like face.

"He is Adam Fehlmann, he is an 8-Star Martial Master, and his rank should be 287th."

"Now that I look at his cultivation. This Alex also only has the cultivation of 8-Star Martial Master."

"Then, he must be cheated inside the tower."

"Yeah, that's right. I remember, he got his ninth position when he was a 5-Star Martial Master."

"Then, don't tell me, he advanced four stages in just a year?"

"He...But, there is also Thiveapia Kingdom's number one genius, Princess Evelyn, she advanced three ranks in a few months."

"Yeah, that's right. Princess Evelyn also managed to get to 24th position with her cultivation."

"Do you mean he is a genius that surpassed her?"

"We can only say that after this fight. Since Adam Fehlmann will challenge him, we can see whether it is true or not"

The tension became tense. Alex looked at Adam Fehlmann in front of him.

"I think you are cheating, you have the same cultivation as me, but I know how hard to fight with those monsters inside. That's why I was sure that you are cheating" Adam said.

Alex looked at him, mysteriously. Since he can't advance to 9-Star because of Sherry, he might vent his frustration to him.
