Chapter 223: Semifinals (2)

They restored the arena first for the next match, especially the frozen area. The ice covered more than half of the arena. While fixing the arena, the elders turned to a discussion. Seeing Tasha's performance, of course, they would be shocked.

"What was that? If I didn't see it wrong, it should be Sword Intent."

"Are you saying there are three people who managed to do that this year?"

"They are basically Outer Disciples. It is very rare for Outer Disciples to do that."

"Yeah. Normally, our sect's disciples or even most of us here can only do that after entering Martial Grandmaster realm. Only Sect Master, First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, Ninth Elder, and Fifteenth Elder managed to do that."

"That's right, who is her Master?"

"Ahem, that would be me."

All of the elders looked at the source of the voice. It was the first elder who said that.

"First Elder, what did you say?" Unsure if he heard it right, One of the elders asked.

"You didn't hear it wrong. Even if you ask that girl, she will say it is me. I met that girl a year ago and found her style quite similar to Cemile, my disciple. So, I asked her if she wanted to be my disciple, and she accepted. She requests that she wanted to keep it a secret so that she can make an impact in the tournament. She didn't disappoint me, and her talent was very high. That's why I agreed to her request." First Elder explained.

All of them were dumbfounded, they never thought the First Elder accepted another disciple. This disciple of his managed to create such an impact in the tournament. The atmosphere became silent once again.

"Ho, but can she really win this tournament?" Charya suddenly spoke. Breaking the silence, she immediately picked a fight with the first elder.

"Ninth Elder, please act according to your age and position. You are always picking up a fight like this. If the old Master is here, I'm sure he will reprimand you or even punish you." First Elder looked at Charya, said, and sighed helplessly.

"If he did that, I will also fight him" Charya laughed.

All of the elders sighed, they had gotten used to this character of her.

"Well, what is your answer, Old Dan? Will your disciple able to defeat my Alex?"

"You are so sure that he is going to win that genius princess. I know that he taught her, but their power should be equal."

"Have you become too old that you can't see that he hasn't used his full power!"

"Hmph!" It seems that he had known the answer, but he didn't want to answer. Of course, he knew Alex hadn't given his all. But, how can he say his disciple was inferior to him? He snorted, "What if he gives up. Since he taught her, maybe he will pull his punch. With that, my disciple doesn't need to fight him."

Charya looked at him with a poker face. With absolute belief, she stated the fact, "That is impossible. I just hope he won't bully Evelyn in the arena."

Looking at Charya's expression, they were bewildered. They didn't know what to say.

...

After fixing the arena, the third elder finally called Evelyn and Alex to the arena, "Alexander Sirius versus Evelyn de Viona Thiveapia."

Well, since they were in the same place. Alex and Evelyn went to the arena together. They greeted the third elder first and finally distanced themself from each other.

Fighting Evelyn, Alex immediately activated his Spirit Eyes before the fight started.

"Big Brother Alex, I will fight you with everything I got" Evelyn didn't have any ill intent in those words. Sadly, it was different in everyone's ears.

"What? She called him 'Big Brother Alex'? I didn't hear it wrong, right?"

"Yeah, I'm sure she called him that. I am so envious."

"But how can she call him that? She is the famous genius from Thiveapia Kingdom, do they know about this? Then who exactly is he? To make the princess call him with 'big brother'. I'm so env...curious."

"Just say you are envious. I also want her to call me Big Brother. That would make my life worth it"

"Kyaaa! Big Brother Alex!"

"Big Brother Alex!"

The boys were jealous of him while the girls were hysteric, especially for those Alex fan club members. Luckily, Sherry fan club had yet to be born.

Alex only rolled his eyes away upon this cheering and smiled at Evelyn. He might 'tease' her a bit in this fight.

Evelyn didn't know why, but she felt a chill. The freezing arena had been replaced, and the ice element should have been erased too. But, feeling a chill like this. She was bewildered. Seeing Alex's expression, she froze. She took her sword out and gulped down. Looking at Alex's expression, she knew that Alex was a bit pissed. She clenched her sword tightly.

"Match Starts!"

Upon hearing that, Evelyn immediately opened up her palm as a light appeared on her palm. She threw it.

"Sword Energy Bomb!"

She tried to make a diversion with this Sword Energy Bomb. She charged at Alex behind the sword energy.

Alex can see all of that with his Spirit Eyes. He can see that Evelyn concentrated her energy on her palm before the match start so she can use it immediately. Unfortunately, Alex had prepared for this.

Ten swords suddenly appeared on his surroundings, and one of them flew to intercept her 'Sword Energy Bomb'. Evelyn had infused her fire element to the Sword Energy. It raised smoke after it exploded.

She intended to use it for a smokescreen. Sadly for her, Alex can see her figure with his Spirit Eyes. Alex also used the smoke as camouflage.

When she passed through the smoke and trying to ambush him, Alex was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, she felt a chill from her back.

"Sanguin Sword Art, Fifteenth Slash"

She turned around and saw a sword wave flew toward her.

"Seven Stars-"

She didn't have enough time to use 'Seven Stars Cut'. Before she managed to release it, Alex's Sanguin Sword Art reached her. She can only cover her sword with Sword Intent and released her Spiritual Energy to the fullest. Even so, she was flying to the wall because of the sword wave.

She also saw nine swords that also came toward her. Using the momentum from the sword wave. She crashed to the wall and used the wall as her stepping to avoid Alex's nine swords. With her quick thinking, she managed to dodge Alex's swords.

She remembered Alex had pinned her on the wall with those swords. After dodging the attack, she met a big sword on her away. She can't dodge this. This was Alex's Sun Beam.

She suddenly remembered the scene where she needs to swing again and again. Back then, Alex said, "Swing your sword for everything. Attacking, parrying, blocking, stabilizing your form, anything. When you think you are doomed and can't do anything anymore. Maybe, the goal was only a step away from you, you just can't see it. Maybe, with another swing, you can escape from your doom and overturn the situation."

She smiled, she raised her sword and swung it down toward the giant blade. But, she didn't intend to block this giant black. She approached it from above it. With that swing, she elevated herself and dodged the giant sword. She rolled on the air and swung her sword again.

"Seven Stars Cut"

A sword wave flew from her sword to Alex. With his Spirit Eyes and distance, Alex had seen this coming. He smiled, he can see Evelyn's effort. That's right, it was only a single swing.

Alex removed his Sun Beam and used it again from upward. He combined this swing with Sword Intent and Heavy Step. To everyone's surprise, he managed to change the direction of Seven Stars Cut. The sword wave exploded upon crashing to the ground a few meters in front of him.

Evelyn didn't stop there. Using that sword wave, she managed to stabilize her form and used the wall as she jumped toward Alex. Trying to use the momentum, she swung her sword toward him.

"Immovable Step"

Alex countered her momentum with raw strength. A dragon strength struck forth. Just like a baseball with Evelyn as the ball and Alex as the batter. Alex's strength managed to blow her away straight to the wall.

Crashing to the wall didn't let her determination waver. She immediately got back to her feet and charged on him again. They clashed continuously for a while.

Seeing the match, everyone in the crowd was mesmerized. It was a great match. Everyone except Song Yu and Putri. It was different in Song Yu's and Putri's eyes, it was plain bullying. They sighed helplessly.

The elders also started realizing Charya's words about bullying. They finally realized why she said that. If Charya didn't say that, they might think it is also a great match. After hearing Charya's words, they observed the match very carefully, and they noticed something odd.

Alex blocked Evelyn's attack from all directions. He turned his body again and again and sent her back. But if they looked at it carefully, even though he turned his body, he never moved from his original position. They finally saw the 'bullying' in Charya's mouth. That means, in this match, Alex had yet moved from his place, in other words, he can beat her like this, it was terrifying. Especially for First Elder, Dan Besseman. He gritted his teeth.

Clash after clash was heard in the arena. Evelyn lost her stamina and energy bit by bit. Eventually, she was exhausted. Panting on the arena, Evelyn's body was covered with some bruises after Alex pounced her to the wall again and again. She looked at Alex seriously, "I really can't reach you in this fight. Big Brother Alex, can we finish this with Seven Stars Cut?"

Alex thought for a bit, he looked at the elders. Noticing Alex's gaze, Charya shrugged her shoulder. It seems that all of them had known about it. Alex finally answered, "Sure."

They both raised their sword.

"Seven Stars Cut"

Two single layer Seven Stars Cuts immediately formed and clashed with each other. Alex didn't see any element in Evelyn's sword wave, and he was confused about it. In her exhausted state, if she infused her fire element to her sword wave, it will boost her firepower.

Alex's sword wave managed to cut her sword wave pretty easily. She was exhausted, and her Sword Intent was not as deep as him. With that, the third elder finally interfered and announced the match.

"Alexander Wins!"

*Cheers*

She finally fell down to the floor and sighed, satisfied. "I still can't beat Big Brother Alex."

He flicked her forehead, "If you can beat me, you might as well call me little brother. I am confused about this, why didn't you use your element in the Seven Stars Cut?"

"I can't. Although I can infuse it to the sword energy, I really can't to Seven Stars Cut. That is the reason why I seldom use my Fire. I never intended to hide this, but I thought it was unnecessary."

He sighed, He looked at Evelyn and helped her up. "You really need to improve your element after this. I will write a few things and let Senior Sister Song Yu know about it since you are staying in her place after this"

"Ahaha" she can only let out a helpless laugh. She just hoped the training menu he wrote not too hellish.

"After two hours rest, we will hold the final match for this Outer Disciple Ranking Tournament." The third elder announced.

Alex and Evelyn nodded to him and came back to Song Yu and Putri. When they came back, Song Yu immediately leaped toward Evelyn and hugged her.

"Little Sister Evelyn, it must be hard for you. This cruel guy bullied you again and again." Song Yu said while looking at Alex like a monster in man clothing

Alex only shook his head.

"You should rest first." Putri said to him.

Alex only nodded to her and sat down to recover his Spiritual Energy.

The elders' reaction was not that much now they knew Alex. They had expected that Alex also could use the genuine Seven Stars Cut. No, in fact, they finally convinced by the fact that Alex was the one who unraveled the real Seven Stars Cut.
