300 Inner Disciple Tournament 5-Truth

"Match Start!"

"I will make you regret saying that," Elise said. She raised her sword and released her Sword Domain. She said, "You are advancing too fast, your sword mastery won't be able to keep up."

"Soaring Sword."

She swung her sword and shot out a huge amount of energy from her sword. That energy flew toward Alex at a fast speed.

Alex covered his sword with his sword intent and waved his sword. And with this swing, that huge amount of energy was split into half.

"What?" Elise was surprised.

"You don't need to worry about my advancement. You should worry about yourself first." Alex said coldly as he released his Sword Domain.

All the elders rose from their seats as they looked at this Alex in shock.

"Sword Domain! It is a Sword Domain!"

"But look at the size!"

"Twenty-five meter in radius?"

They gasped when they looked at Alex's Sword Domain. Just one year ago, Alex was only a small Martial Master. Although he was able to fuse his Sword Intent into his Martial Arts, he was not a Sword Grandmaster.

They thought Alex might be able to break through to a Sword Grandmaster considering his monstrous talent. But they only thought he would only be able to make a one-meter domain.

Unfortunately, Alex let them see something far unbelievable. It was a twenty-five radius Sword Domain. And Alex did all of this in just one year.

They looked at Elise's fifteen meter Sword Domain. It was indeed good, considering her cultivation, but when they saw Alex. They could only classify him as a monster.

"It is only a year!"

"Are you telling me he reached this stage in just a year?"

The elders were shouting. The disciples in the arena also realized what kind of monster Alex was. Especially for Core Disciples.

Core Disciples usually had a domain of their own. Their domain ranged from one meter to forty meters. And the elder usually had more than that. Even the sect master only had an eighty meter domain.

They were bewildered when they found Alex reached this level in just a year. He was still young. What kind of monstrous beings would he be in a few decades? They could not imagine such a thing as it was beyond their imagination.

"What?" Elise was shocked by Alex's sword domain. His sword domain was even wider than her. "How can yo-"

"You don't need to know," Alex said and jumped forward. He was trying to finish the battle as fast as possible.

Alex waved his sword and shot out five slashes.

"Pentagram Slash."

Elise immediately regained her composure. She tried to avoid the slashes by dodging to the side. But Alex had been waiting for her there.

She came into Alex's sword domain and felt the sharpness of his Sword Domain. Her movement was a bit restricted in this domain.

She fought back with her domain, but sadly, it could only protect her from Alex's domain. Alex didn't feel anything from her sword domain since her sword domain was not able to reach him.

Alex took out ten swords from his space ring and let them float above him. They were confused with Alex's action. They didn't know what he was doing. But when he suddenly took another ten swords out of his space ring.

Alex shocked everyone again. They didn't understand the reason why Alex took out twenty swords from his space ring. But Elise could feel a chill when she looked at these swords.

Alex wanted to use the principle of Running Sword but increased the number of the swords with his Omnislash. And surprisingly, he could control twenty of them.

And unlike Himura Minami, who took out two rank 3 swords and four rank 2 swords during the match with Alex. This time, Alex took out twenty rank 3 swords.

The people were bewildered, but Alex paid no heed. He shot the swords to Elise. Alex was controlling twenty rank 3 swords and let them chase Elise. Of course, Alex didn't forget to coat the swords with his Sword Intent.

Elise started panicking as she didn't know what to do in this situation. This was the first time she saw something like this.

"Four Direction Slash!"

She tried to attack the sword with Four Direction Slash. But she only managed to stop the sword for a while. She wanted to copy what Alex did to stop Himura Minami's sword, but this time, there were too many swords.

Even the crowd was dumbfounded when they saw this. It looked like plain bullying. They also didn't know how to deal with this attack.

Omnislash was a mid Earth Tier Martial Arts. After Alex combined it with Himura Minami's Running Sword, it evolved to High Earth Tier Martial Arts, if not Heaven Tier.

"Is that Omnislash?"

"But he uses real swords. It is like Himura Minami's 'Running Sword."

"Are you kidding me? Running Sword only lets you control five Swords. Not freaking twenty!"

"All of you miss the point, look at his swords. All of them are freaking rank 3 swords. Can't you see that he has twenty rank 3 swords?"

The crowd was even confused about whether to be surprised by Alex's technique or Alex's wealth. Sadly, Alex got them without spending money. All because he had the Gacha System.

In the arena, Elise wanted to cry when she faced an unknown technique like this. The sword kept chasing her, and even she deflected them. Unlike the Omnislash that would get destroyed if she did that, these real freaking swords would only come back to chase her.

When she was complaining about that in her mind, Alex found a chance to attack her. He suddenly disappeared from his original position and appeared in front of her. But that was not all. When he appeared in front of Elise, he was ready to swing his sword.

"Seven Stars Cut!"

Elise tried to avoid it to the side, but Alex controlled his sword and plunged to her side, leaving no opening to exploit. The only thing she could do was to take this Seven Stars Cut head-on.

"Seven Stars Cut."

She also used the Seven Stars Cut. It turned out the Seven Star Cut was not a hard Martial Arts to master if they had a high attainment in that 'fake' Seven Stars Cut.

She was able to shoot four layers Seven Stars Cut in a year. Sadly, her opponent was Alex. Alex's Seven Stars Cut had five layers. If Alex were a peak Martial Grandmaster, he would be able to use a six layer Seven Stars Cut. He was just restricted by the cultivation level.

Their Seven Stars Cut clashed with each other but as expected with the difference of layer. Alex's sword wave cut through Elise's Seven Stars Cut and made its way toward Elise.

Sadly, Elise couldn't dodge Alex's attack anymore. That forced Elder Dolf to stop the match.

He destroyed Alex's attack with her full power. He didn't dare to take it easy in this tournament to stop someone attacking as they were already close to peak Martial Grandmasters.

"Alexander Sirius Wins!" As soon as he destroyed Alex's attack. The third elder announced.

The crowd was cheering to see such an interesting match. They were convinced that Alex was powerful. Especially people who would be his opponent next, they would need a plan to counter Alex's Omnislash.

Elise looked down for a while. She just talked big before the match, but she just lost to him.

After seeing Alex's power, she was convinced of her loss.

"I lost."

She looked up and tried to stretch her hand to Alex for a handshake. But when she looked up, Alex was nowhere to be seen... Even his swords were missing.

...

A few seconds ago,

As soon as the third elder announced the result, Alex immediately stored his swords back and went to Evelyn.

"Let's go back," Alex said.

Evelyn nodded, and both of them immediately flew back. Although she was surprised by his power, after knowing him for so long, it took her only a few seconds to regain her composure.

Alex searched for Putri and the others' whereabouts with his Spirit Eyes and found them in Song Yu's house. Alex immediately went there.

Charya and Song Yu didn't look too good as they stood in the hallway.

"What happened? Where is the Senior Sister?" Alex asked.

"Ugh..." Both Charya and Song Yu sighed. Song Yu said, "Good news. We have prevented her from suicide and calmed her down a bit."

Alex and Evelyn gulped down. They never thought Putri was attempting to suicide. And it was the good news to boot. Evelyn asked with a scared tone, "And the bad news?"

"There... are... so much bad news..." Song Yu looked down.

Alex took a deep breath to prepare his heart. He asked, "Alright. What is the bad news?"

Song Yu looked at him for a while before explaining it to him. "Although she has calmed down, we can't be sure what she will do next. After all, she can't use her spear anymore.

"And even if she comes to terms with it. The most worrying thing is she has a curse inside her body. That curse will eventually eat all the energy inside her body.

"In other words, she would slowly die." Song Yu explained with a depressed tone.

"Do you have any way to cure her?"

Song Yu shook her head. Even Charya's expression became gloomier.

Alex contemplated for a while before he remembered Anna. Alex said, "I'm going to excuse myself for a bit."

He remembered that Anna used something like a curse with her magic.

Alex went out and took Anna's card. "Anna, can you cure a curse?"

"Cure curse? No, I can not. I can use a curse, but I can not cure the curse." Anna said casually as she didn't know what happened.

"I see. It is no good." Alex sighed.

From that sigh, Anna could tell Alex was anxious. She then asked, "Did anything happen, Alex?"

"Well... Remember when they came to our house so we can go together to the arena?"

"Yes. I remember."

"Back then, I could see a black spot on Senior Sister's heart. I thought it was because of Zwaka's Martial Arts. So, I thought it was fine.

"It turned out the black spot was a curse. In the arena, the black spot suddenly spread out."

"I don't know how to cure a curse. But I do know who can remove the curse." She said carefully.

"What? You know someone who can remove the curse? Tell me. Who is this he/she?" Alex asked eagerly.

"She is my twin sister, Anya. We are a twin, but what can we do is exactly the opposite. If I can use a curse or something that can weaken someone, then Anya can use purify a curse or something that can strengthen someone."

"Anya?" Alex contemplated a bit. He remembered this name as it was also one of his UR spirits. But Alex had yet to summon Anya.

"Well, I can check her condition first if you want."

"Of cour-!"

[Mission: Inner Disciple Tournament

Description: #1

Reward: 10 Premium Tickets or 1 Special Summon Ticket(UR)]

Suddenly the system gave him a notification. She even highlighted the 'Special Summon Ticket(UR)' from the mission panel.

[Do you forget about me, Host? I can't help you that much in Alicia's case, but I can surely help you in this.]

"..." Alex was startled by the system's sudden appearance. He finally remembered this mission. If he won the tournament, he would be able to summon Anya with that Special Summon Ticket. But he couldn't help but ask, "System, do you know that this is going to happen?"

[No. It is just my intuition that you would need this sooner or later.]

"..." Alex was wondering if a system really had an intuition...

Anyway, he was really grateful for that.

"Love you, System."

[Love you too, Host.]

Alex didn't mean that kind of 'love', though. He was just expressing his gratefulness to his System.

Alex then said to Anna, "I will explain to the others first. I will call you later to check her condition."

"Alright."

Alex went back inside.
