"Shit!" It was at this moment that Alex knew he f*cked up.
Alex cursed the yeti in his heart as the fist was pinning him down.
"Don't underestimate me." Alex released his fire.
The yeti was surprised to feel the sudden extreme heat. It suddenly took his fist back and opened his mouth.
Alex saw a flash of blue light inside the yeti's mouth. He immediately rolled to the side while summoning his Omnislash.
Just like a breath, the yeti shot out a laser-like attack. Alex didn't know what element the yeti had, but it seemed dangerous.
His Omnisword already arrived in front of the yeti, but suddenly another monster came to block his swords. It was a huge snake.
Alex looked at the rough snake's scale that seemed to be hard to penetrate. Even his Omnislash that had been coated by his Sword Intent couldn't do a thing. It seemed only his Seven Stars Cut or Silver Sovereign that could do damage to this thing.
The snake waved its tail toward Alex. It forced Alex to retreat backward.
"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summoning."
Judging from the roars earlier, Alex knew he was surrounded. Alex immediately used his fire to finish this as soon as possible if he didn't want to be surrounded by the monsters.
Alex could not understand why these monsters suddenly became intelligent. He didn't know it was only the yeti that was smart. The yeti was the one who ordered the monster to attack Alex.
The fire phoenix flew toward the snake, trying to engulf the snake. The snake tried to dodge it, but Alex didn't let the snake do so.
"Seven Stars Cut."
Alex sent a sword wave to block its path of retreat. The snake only had two choices, roasted by Alex's flame or killed by his sword wave.
The snake dodged Alex's Seven Stars Cut and took his Fire Phoenix head-on.
"Boom!"
Surprisingly, the snake was hard enough. Even though Alex didn't release his Pure Fire for this, his flame was still powerful. But the snake was still able to confront his fire. Alex clicked his tongue.
"If I am an 8-Star Martial Grandmaster, the snake should die." He thought. He was also wondering if he should activate his Pure Fire or not.
Watching the snake was still alive, Alex immediately jumped forward to the snake. He wanted to kill the snake.
"Silver Sove- !!!" Just before he managed to pierce the snake. The yeti suddenly appeared above him, trying to protect the snake from his spear.
"Immovable Step (+) Phoenix Claw."
Since the yeti wanted to die first, then he would fulfill his wish. Their fist collided.
It sent a shock wave through the forest. Surprisingly, their power was equal. With the yeti four-meter high body, it was still normal that he could withstand Alex's power.
"Pentagram Slash!" Alex released his attack.
The yeti jumped very high to dodge this attack. But this only left Alex a chance to attack the snake. To make his movement more fluid, he continued the next attack with his spear instead of his sword.
"Seven Stars Cut."
A sword wave flew toward the snake that was trying to escape. But because the snake was seriously injured by Alex's flame. Its movement was sluggish and didn't manage to dodge Alex's sword wave.
The sword wave cut through the snake like nothing. From Alex's perspective, this snake was not a big snake, only one meter in diameter and ten-meter long. Alex had seen a bigger snake than this. But concerning its power, he might need to struggle if he was bound by the snake.
When he finally killed the snake. The other eight monsters came to attack him. He wanted to escape from their encirclement, but the monsters didn't let him from doing so.
He looked at the yeti above him. Because the yeti didn't know Alex's attack, the yeti jumped a bit higher. At first, it was a miscalculation from the yeti's part. Still, the yeti used the encirclement of the monsters for his own convenience.
The yeti was trying to kill Alex by using the momentum he would get from falling down. Alex also couldn't find any opening that he could use to escape from this encirclement.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he then started making an array. When the array finished, and the yeti almost reached him, Alex immediately used it.
"Jadeite Mirror Array."
Alex didn't make a big barrier since he was surrounded by monsters.
"Boom!"
The yeti crashed onto his array, not him. It was the most powerful barrier-type array he could use. But with a big yeti crashed from such a height, even his barrier got cracked all over.
With one more attack, it would crumble into pieces. But before he let the monsters do that, he immediately made another array below his feet.
He suddenly disappeared from his original position to a few meters away.
When the monsters broke the barrier, they were confused since Alex was nowhere to be seen.
On the other hand, Alex got his perfect position for the first time. He took a deep breath, trying to concentrate. He didn't know why, but at this particular time, he suddenly got an inspiration to do it. He swung both his spear and sword simultaneously.
"(Double) Seven Stars Cut."
Two sword waves flew toward the monster. The monsters suddenly noticed the overbearing pressure came from the two sword waves.
They turned around and saw Alex's Seven Stars Cut.
But this was the time where Alex saw something unbelievable. His sword waves suddenly sparked. He activated his Spirit Eyes.
What he found was something ridiculous. The two sword waves' energy was interlinking together. He didn't know, but the sword waves were trying to fuse with each other.
But before it managed to fuse, the sword waves arrived at the monsters. The monsters were trying to escape but because Alex's used his sword waves at the perfect time. They didn't manage to do it.
Alex killed another two monsters. He only needed to kill five more monsters, and he would get a perfect score.
But he indeed felt a bit exhausted after fighting for so long since he was fighting alone this entire time. When he fought with the others, they were helping each other and made the task far more relaxed.
The monsters were charging at him again. He also confronted them head-on. He utilized his Silver Sovereign, whether it was the strike or the movement, as much as he could.
But the most thing he wanted to try was the phenomenon when his two sword waves suddenly wanted to fuse. He was surely remembered that the Seven Stars Cut that came from his sword was covered by a Sword Intent.
But the Seven Stars Cut that came from his spear was covered by his Spear Intent. It was two different intents.
He recalled the moment he managed to make his own domain right after he broke through to Martial Grandmaster. At that time, he tried to fuse the intent but failed.
This time, he didn't understand why, but it was exactly a fusion between his Spear Intent and Sword Intent. It fascinated him. He didn't know what kind of possibility these two might create if he fused them. Still, surely he wanted to try that as he saw the two sword waves suddenly got a tiny increase in power.
Alex tried to confront them head-on. Unlike the previous fight where he was ambushed out of nowhere, Alex had prepared for this.
He tried to try fusing his intent again with his Seven Stars Cut but to no avail. There was no sign of fusing even if he activated his Spirit Eyes. He was wondering what he should do to merge it.
But before he even managed to come up with something, the challenge finished. Alex managed to beat all the monsters he was supposed to kill.
He teleported back to the room, and the room started filling with Spiritual Energy. He looked at his spear and sword confusedly.
"Sword and spear… What actually happened at that time?" Alex asked himself.
He couldn't understand what was happening. He shook his head and decided to ponder it when he came back. He then started cultivating.
Of course, the same as when he took the first place in Outer Disciple ranking, Alex was not aware of how much ruckus he had made.
…
Outside the battle tower.
The golden word appeared once again. It would only appear when the first rank was taken by someone else. It immediately shocked all the people around the Battle Tower.
1st. Alexander Sirius - 1000 points
His name suddenly came out of nowhere and pushed the reigning champion, Eric Kasmanan.
Eric became number two with 942 points. When that happened, the air suddenly filled with silence.
They immediately noticed the sudden change and dropped their jaw.
The situation was like this until someone suddenly dropped his disciple token.
"Clang!"
It became a wake-up call for everyone there as the silence turned into an uproar.
"What the heck?"
"What is happening?"
"Someone got a thousand points?"
"He beat Eric Kasmanan?"
"Who is this Alexander Sirius?"
They were screaming around, trying to get information about this sudden appearance of Alexander Sirius.
"He… isn't that name familiar?"
"He… he must be the winner of the outer disciple ranking tournament."
"That's right. It must be that person. The one who solved the problem of our Seven Stars Cut."
"How can he?"
"It is only a year after the tournament, how can he be this strong?"
The disciples immediately flew back to tell the news.
…
In Eric Kasmanan's house.
He was destroying all the decorations he had in his house. He was like a madman.
It was normal as not long after Alex massacred the Kasmanan Family, he knew the news about it. He was devastated to hear his Kasmanan Family was gone.
The Princess, who became his backing, suddenly looked at him with a cold gaze. She saw him like he was a trash after losing the Kasmanan Family.
Just before, they can even have s*x, but after that news, she immediately distanced herself from him. They didn't know why someone massacred the Kasmanan family. But Eric, who already lost his family, was useless in front of Mega's eyes.
She threw him aside. She dared to do this because Eric didn't have anything anymore. She threatened him so he couldn't say anything about her secret.
Putri came to comfort him a few times, but she never let him do 'it,' which made him crazier. Eventually, because the tournament was close, Putri had a close door cultivation.
He became alone, and that piece of garbage in his eyes, known as 'Alexander Sirius.' Suddenly came to take the last thing he had, his number one position.
"I will kill him no matter what it takes." He roared.
…
In Intan Wulan's house, there were two women, sitting while having a cup of tea. Both of them were a beauty. One of them had short purple hair while the other one had long green hair.
"Senior Sister, do you think it is true?" The purple-haired lady suddenly asked.
The green-haired lady used her hand to support her head. She didn't have any interest when she heard the news.
"He just won the tournament last year, and his cultivation is only 8-Star Martial Master. Do you think he can do something like this in a year? Even a peerless genius can't do it, so he must be cheating." She said.
"That's right. As expected of Senior Sister."
"You can go back first."
"Understood."
Intan Wulan looked at the sky and snorted. "Hmph, this guy seems to be Putri's junior brother. Well, since he is coming like this. Then I will break him along with Putri."
…
In Song Yu's house,
When she heard about this, she laughed very hard. It even made Evelyn stop her training and ask.
"Big Sister Song Yu, what happened?"
"He did it again."
"He?" Evelyn thought a little, and a person came to her mind. She suddenly became excited, "Do you mean big brother Alex?"
"Yes. He once again made a scene with a perfect score in the battle tower."
"Is that true?" Evelyn asked again with a surprised look.
"Of course, it is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the battle tower to look at it yourself."
Evelyn believed her and shook her head. "As expected of big brother Alex. How can I repay you now?"
