Everyone was now discussing Alex's battle. They were really shocked after witnessing his strength. Alex's strength far surpassed their previous estimation, however, what they don't know was they have yet to witness Alex's true strength.
The battle continued. One after another, one won and one lost. About two hours later, Alex fought against the ranked 2nd disciple of the Floating Cloud Academy and won the battle, advancing to the final.
Now, he had to fight against Matt, the Rank First Disciple of the Outer Court of Floating Cloud Academy. Matt's cultivation was at the Golden Core Stage Level 1. However, Alex didn't take him seriously.
He had already started feeling bored fighting these meaningless battles. He had already decided to break through the Golden Core Stage after the competition is over and enter the Inner Sect. There, he'll investigate about the Middle Land and how to go there.
"The final battle, Alex White vs Matt Damon. Please come on the stage!" The deacon soon announced the start of the final battle.
Everyone was looking forward to this battle. They have never expected Alex to fight against Matt. After he defeated the Second Ranked Outer Court Disciple, no one doubted Alex. They knew only Alex has the strength to fight against Matt.
As for Anya, after fighting against Ranked Third Disciple, she disappeared. No one knows where she went, however, Alex had some guesses in his heart. There was a large possibility that she had entered seclusion in order to absorb the Wood Essence Seed.
Talking about the Wood Essence Seed, Alex had already duplicated it.
Very soon, Alex and Matt were standing in the arena. Although Matt was Ranked First in the outer court, Alex still had an indifferent expression on his face. He didn't take Matt to his heart.
Alex and Matt who were standing on two different sides of the stage were like two opposing mountains, giving off an imposing aura that caused people to be afraid of them.
Because no one had expected Alex would fight against Matt in the final battle, no one was sure who'll win.
But for most people, they still acknowledged Matt.
"Please!" Matt said as his gaze turned fierce the next moment and he became serious about the battle. He knew Alex is not easy to deal with, for even he could feel the dangerous aura from Alex's body.
The next moment, a surging aura surged out from Matt's body like a tide. He moved his body and immediately rushed towards Alex.
"Huala!"
While he was moving, Matt raised his right hand, then a sturdy, ice-cold chain like a venomous snake that had left its hole dragged out a string of black shadows in the air and attacked towards Alex.
It was also at this time that the similarly vigorous aura quickly enveloped the Heavy Earth Sword in Alex's hand. Alex welcomed the incoming attack with his sword, clashing with the opponent's iron chains.
"Ding!"
"Bam!"
The sharp weapons collided with each other and all sorts of sparks flew in the air.
The iron chains in Matt's hand swept out like a snake and like a whip, it struck from the side and launched an attack. The range of the attack was wide. With every step he took, he moved closer to his opponent. He knew that for such attacks, it was better to use long-ranged tactics. Once he got close to him, his advantage would be greatly reduced.
"It won't be that easy to get close to me!"
Matt said with a smile on his face as he raised his left hand once again and another set of iron chains exploded outwards.
Two sets of iron chains, one on the left and one on the right, swept towards Alex who was in the middle in a row. The iron chains ran through in the air like a speed boat in the river.
Alex focused his eyes and jumped up with the tip of his foot touching the ground.
The two cold iron chains swept below him. As Alex descended, he pointed the tip of the sword toward the ground. The body of the Heavy Earth Sword bent slightly, and then, Alex bounced up once more and he completed a reversal in the air. After that, he held the sword with both of his hands and pierced it towards Matt's right chest.
Beneath the stage, many people could not help but exclaim, "Good moves!"
And with that, Alex heard the prompts of the system in his mind, earning a few thousand more ENergy Points.
Matt's eyes reflected the incomparably sharp tip of the Heavy Earth Sword, and his face revealed a disdainful smirk, "If you think that's all I have, then you're completely wrong."
Matt lifted both his hands and retracted the two iron chains quickly. Then, he blocked Alex by crossing the two chains and fiercely flung them towards him.
The vigorous spirit energy was poured into the iron chains. In an instant, the two iron chains released a magnificent golden radiance, which was dazzling to the point that it looked as if it had been submerged within the Holy Light of the sun.
Feeling the powerful aura of the two iron chains flying towards him, Alex's eyes shone with light.
"Buzz, buzz!"
Along with extremely restless energy fluctuations, a strand of strange Black Energy gushed out of his body and quickly extended towards the Heavy Earth Sword. The dark Heavy Earth Sword immediately spat out a beam of black fiery light that resembled a demonic flame.
The Heavy Earth Sword that was surrounded by the black energy was at the center of the intersection of the two chains. With a large sound of the explosion, the chaotic energy wantonly burst forth to release its power, causing the two chains to instantly tremble violently. There was a heavy sound between the lock joints.
Boom!
The tyrannical forces clashed, and with the powerful force of the wind, Matt was pushed back several steps by Alex's attack. That once again shocked everyone present. No one had expected that Alex would hold the upper hand in the battle of strength between them.
"Humph!" Matt stabilized his body. His face sunk as a different light appeared in his mind. He said, "I have underestimated your strength!"
"Heh, thank you for your praise. In order to thank you, I will definitely win this battle today!" Alex took the opportunity and started his next round of attacks unambiguously.
Matt's eyes turned as a powerful energy surged inside his body.
In the next moment, another two iron chains flew out from Matt's sleeves. Adding the two from before, a total of four iron chains sprung out like spirit snakes, quickly attacking Alex. The four chains were like four nimble pythons, dancing up and down as they changed in a myriad of ways.
"Swish, swish!"
Matt's hand speed was extremely fast and his control ability was also extremely skilled. Under his control, the four thick and strong iron chains surrounded Alex in the middle. His fierce attack was dazzling.
Alex was surrounded and attacked by the four iron chains, but he was calm and composed, not flustered in the slightest.
The power of the Chaotic Energy lingered around the Heavy Earth Sword like a burning netherworld black flame.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, the iron chain on the right whistled over.
Alex's eyes turned serious as he swung his Heavy Earth Sword forward to face the attack.
"Bam!"
Two powerful forces collided, rousing a circle of scattered true essence shockwaves.
As the iron chain was pushed back, a second chain came from the left. Alex caught up quickly, turned his body, and struck out with his palm which shook the airflow in all directions.
"Boom!"
The tyrannical Chaotic Energy turned into a vast and mighty shock wave, smashing onto the steel chain. Rocks flew in the air and dust drifted in the air. The violent impact not only blasted the iron chains away but also cracked a dozen or so deep cracks in the bricks on the stage.
However, before Alex could even heave a sigh of relief, the other two iron chains directly smashed down from above his head.
The sound of rapid air explosions was abnormally heavy. The two iron chains were powerful.
Alex did not take it head-on. Instead, he stepped forward, used the Wandering Movements, and dodged to the side.
"Boom!"
The two iron chains that were flashing with golden light heavily crashed onto the ground. Countless rocks flew up into the air, just like a Swarm of Moths that were startled.
The stage was instantly thrown into chaos. The crowd below the stage was all shocked.
The battle in front of them could be said to be spectating, it looked as though Matt was controlling four poisonous pythons to attack Alex. Although he was surrounded and attacked, Alex did not panic. His defense was as smooth as flowing water and he did not leave his opponent with any weaknesses or opportunities.
