Gacha Sovereign

Anna stood beside Alex, so she heard it too. That must be the reason why Leoz wanted to report it directly to Alex.

Alex asked, "Is that all?"

"I am afraid it is not." Leoz took a deep breath before he said, "I finally went to a more in-depth investigation, I found that two families have a significant increase in their power. They are Xian Family and Muzhak Family. I don't know the extent of their power, but there must something fishy in this kingdom. And I have found that there are some movements from the kingdom, it seems they might make aggression. Judging from the condition, it will be the Southern Kingdom or Thiveapia Kingdom. I'm sorry, if Nelson is here, I'm sure he can find all the information you need."

Nelson was another 'UR Spirit'. He was the perfect 'spy' that Anna and Leoz told him. Alex said, "It's fine. You have done your job."

Alex muttered, "A birth of a Martial King, but the kingdom didn't announce it. The sudden rise of power. A war might happen soon. But is that all? If there is a sudden rise in power, there might be another Martial King, and since they didn't announce it and nobody aware of it. They might get confidence from that. Will the sect care about a war between kingdoms?

If yes, then I am sure that the kingdom won't go to war. After all, even if they got a Martial King, the sect would meddle in that. After that, a war between a new Martial King and a few decades Martial King. It is obvious who will win. Although I heard about the Martial King in this continent is only a low level Martial King. It does not change the fact that they are Martial Kings. But, if the kingdom has two Martial Kings, it will be a different case.

If the sect won't care about the war, then the situation at least is not that bad. After all, with a Martial King in hand, they would gain big morale. That's why they are not afraid to make war."

"Young Master, what should we do?" Leoz asked.

"Hmm, try to observe them for another month. If there is nothing change. Go to a nearby place to level up. With so many unknown factors, raising our power is the best solution. Try to go back to the capital city once in a while to check what they are up to" Alex said.

"Yes."

Alex also needs to increase his cultivation swiftly. He felt something terrible going to happen soon. He felt another bad thing would happen again in his life. He didn't know why, but he can't shake it off. He will absolutely get stronger to shake this feeling off. He checked their cards.

The next day, Alex and the rest came again to the arena, but surprisingly, Lena didn't come. Everyone thought that she must have some 'Training' with her teacher, so they were not bothered by it. But it seems they were wrong. She finally came with her new Master. And to their surprise, twenty elders suddenly came together with their sect master.

"What happens?"

"Twenty elders come together, the sect master also comes."

"I don't know."

"Maybe this competition is really that important."

Suddenly, the thing that shocked them the most was when the third elder came to the stage. "Ahem, I will be the referee for today. You might confuse why all of us suddenly come to here. I will explain it to you, Sect Master wants to tell all of us something. This is very important to our sect."

There was indeed an announcement at the end of the battle. They said the sect master wanted to announce something. Alex and the rest were unaware of this since they went back first. Now they looked at it, the disciples who watched the tournament also increased significantly. Even core disciples also came to this tournament.

They can see the ninth elder, Charya, also came, and Jane Barnett, another core disciple aside of Song Yu in the ninth peak, accompanied her. Song Yu sent a thought transmission to Charya. This was a technique that only for those in Martial Lord or above. "Master, what happens?"

"Seven Stars Cut" Surprisingly, Charya didn't say anything unnecessary. She answered her with only those three words. It was enough for Song Yu.

Song Yu then glanced at Alex. Alex was surprised, but above all, he understood what happened. He almost forgot about this. Charya said that the sect master would announce the 'Seven Stars Cut' in the tournament. So this must be the case. Alex finally saw the figure of Heavenly Sword Sect's sect master. Long white hair and aged face, but his eyes were still sharp as ever. There was a sharp aura around his body.

He stood up, "Today is the last day for Outer Disciple Competition. There is joyous news that I bring today, and I want to share it with all of you. I want the disciples who will fight today to bring out their true ability. Because there are only ten people today, All of them must want to get to the top four. After everyone fought, there still five. That's why I will choose the lowest disciples to get out. That's why please entertain me with your power. Let us start today's Competition."

*Cheers*

Elder Dolf nodded, he announced the name, "Evelyn de Viona Thiveapia versus Nina Rinsa."

Evelyn looked at Alex and the rest, "Then I'm going"

Alex saw her opponent, it was the disciple that stopped Abram back then. He remembered her scarlet hair pretty well.

"To fight the rumored genius of Thiveapia Kingdom, I am honored." Nina said.

"Nice to meet you, Senior Sister." Evelyn nodded.

"I heard he had taught you in some way. To teach a genius such as you, I wonder what he taught you?" Nina said.

"It is the thing that might shock you, Senior Sister" Evelyn said that.

"I am looking forward to it."

"Match Starts!"

Both of them took out their sword and jumped forward.

In the special seat, the elders were eager to see this genius princess fight. Sect Master asked, "I heard that Tenth Elder was rejected by this girl?"

"Indeed, but I found a more suitable disciple for me. She is her sister, though" Miska said embarrassedly.

"Haha, Tenth Elder, you don't need to be embarrassed. Although it is a shame that she is not somebody disciple. Judging from her talent at this time, I think she is really a genius among genius." Second Elder said. The second elder was a female elder. She was a gorgeous lady with short orange hair and an alluring body. She was one of the elders that didn't use a sword. In fact, nine out of twenty didn't use a sword.

Beside her, there was an old man asking for a tea from his disciple. He had black hair tied into a bun. Although he put a kind face, it still didn't manage to hide his strictness reflecting in his eyes. His disciple had a dark blue long hair, reaching to her waist. With ocean blue eyes, she was nice to look at. There was a mole around her lips, and surprisingly, it didn't ruin her pretty face. Instead, it gave a new kind of charm on her face. After pouring the tea to her master, she stood back on behind him.

After sipping out the hot and satisfying tea, the old man finally looked at the sect master. "Sect Master, I am wondering why you asked all of us to gather here? Are you going to take a disciple? But I think you don't need to gather us like this for that."

"No, I'm not going to take a disciple. But I'm sure that this announcement will make you think it is worth it to come here, First Elder" Sect Master said while looking at First Elder.

"I am looking forward to it" First Elder looked at him mysteriously.

...

Back to the arena,

"Sword Energy Bomb" Evelyn threw sword energy toward Nina.

"Unlimited Phyton Sword" Nina also used one of her techniques. A snake suddenly came out from her sword. It was a big snake. Two meters in diameter and twenty meters in length. It suddenly appeared from her sword and circling around her. It ate the 'Sword Energy Bomb'

The 'Sword Energy Bomb' that had been enhanced by Evelyn's element, exploded inside the snake. Surprisingly, the snake was fine. Smoke came out from its mouth. After that, the snake charged toward Evelyn with its huge body.

That giant snake was trying to eat Evelyn. Evelyn dodged its charge every time until she felt something odd. She turned her head at Nina and saw her building up energy to her sword. The moment she finished charging her sword, she suddenly charged at Evelyn.

From her left, the snake wanted to eat her, and from her right, Nina was trying to attack her. Everyone thought she was doomed. Even the elders also thought like that.

"Haiz, the genius princess has fought well."

"Indeed. Her opponent today is just too strong."

"You can't say it like that. You need to be proud that our disciples are strong."

"Yeah, you are right."

The elders sighed while looking at Evelyn's situation. The third elder was ready to stop the match at any moment.

Suddenly, the thing that happened next blew their mind. Evelyn was rolling her body continuously. A yellow ring appeared circling around her. No, to be exact, the ring appeared from the tip of her sword.

"Circular Blade Method, Killing Ring!"

The yellow ring was expanding. It was like a sword wave but in the shape of a ring. Nina, who was shocked by the sudden attack, was forced to swing her sword to stop that ring. The snake also used its head to stop the ring from expanding. But the ring was stronger than expected. The ring cut the snake's head and blew Nina away.

The elders immediately stood up, they were shocked by what just happened on the stage.

"Sword Intent"

"Yeah. Don't tell me, she can send her Sword Intent flying?"

"Are you kidding me? It is even hard for a Martial Grandmaster to reach that level. She is only a 7-Star Martial Master."

"But, just now, she did precisely that."

The elders were bewildered. Suddenly Charya laughed and made their attention focused on her.

"Gahaha. You old folks just shut up a bit. I'm sure she will give you more surprises later."

"Ninth Elder, do you know something?"

"Yeah, is she really has reached that level?"

"Just shut up. You will be able to see it in this fight. I have watched her progress, and that girl, Nina, is also my Ninth Peak disciple. Although I can't notice every disciple in my peak. I, at least, noticed the outstanding one. If my prediction is right, she will ask about our tradition as a Sword User. If you become crazy with just this, You will become insane after what you see next."

The sect master only smiled a bit and shook his head helplessly. Heavenly Sword Sect Tradition as a sword user, it has to be that. The last exchange with 'Seven Stars Cut'. The disciple can initiate it. But the opponent can also reject it. But according to Charya. Evelyn will most likely accept. The True Seven Stars Cut will see the light once again after being buried for a few centuries. Unfortunately, the one who used it first was not the one who managed to open that secret. He looked at Alexander helplessly.

Well, if Alexander will also use that move later...probably. If he really used that move, then he can proudly announce, and it will protect him. He never found his master identity, but he didn't mind about that anymore. After all, leaving that genius in their sect alone was a blessing for them.

In the arena, As Charya had predicted. After the attack blew her away. Nina came back while weeping the blood on her mouth. After fighting for so long, she was exhausted. Evelyn was panting too, exhausted. Nina looked at Evelyn, "Junior Sister. You are truly great. I never know that you have reached that level. As expected of the famous genius."

"Senior Sister is strong. If big brother Alex didn't teach me, I would have no chance" Evelyn said.

"So, it is him. Maybe, I should ask him to teach me too." Nina said helplessly. Judging from Evelyn's expression, it seems she didn't lie. It was really Alex.

Suddenly Evelyn shuddered. "No. I think it's better not to do that."

"Oh? Why?" Nina was confused. 'Is it because of my status as an outer disciple? But she is also an outer disciple...she is a princess... yeah, it must be because of our status. Senior Sister Song Yu is his mentor while I am only a nameless Outer Disciple...sigh.'

"Ugh... I just want to say that his training is hell. I can't even lift up a finger after those training, and he makes you do it every single time. It's like dying, revive, dying again, and revive again. I cried after I finished the training. I can only say that I don't want to do it again. It might become a trauma if not." Evelyn said.

"Is it really that bad? I might as well train as usual." Nina said, "Well, does Junior Sister know about our tradition as a sword user?"

"Seven Stars Cut?"

Nina nodded. "Since Junior Sister knows about it. I want to ask you for our last exchange"

Evelyn thought for a bit, then nodded. Both of them raised their sword as the energy started gathering in the sword. They swung their sword down.

"Seven Stars Cut"
