"What?" The Third Elder shocked by that. His identity is special... but It's true, there is no way a peerless genius like that would be a loose cultivator. Someone would already get him first.

"He was entrusted by someone to here. We can't get him a master or a teacher. So from Seventh Elder's suggestion, we decided to let him have a mentor. It would be best if love will bloom between them" The Sect Master explained it in a roundabout way.

The Third Elder Elder understood his meaning. It seems that this 'someone' is very strong or something and the Sect Master wants to rope Alex in for that. "I see. But isn't it a bit of waste? How about letting him under the tutelage of a Core Disciple? Let me see, If you are searching for someone beautiful and strong, there are two of them. First Elder's Disciple Cemile and Ninth Elder's Disciple, Song Yu."

"Hmm, The First Elder... he is a traditional old fox. I'm afraid that he won't let his disciple, Cemile, to accept him. So I think it's a no go for him. As for Ninth Elder...It might be possible. The Ninth Elder itself is gentle and caring while her disciple is energetic and cheerful. There is a vast choice." Sect Master said in a meaningful way.

"Oh! I have learned. As expected of you, Sect Master." The Third Elder bowed like a sly fox.

"Haha, I'm not that great" They didn't know Alex's taste, so with the Ninth Elder and her disciple, there is two opposite choice. At least, there might be one of them as Alex's preferences. It can also be said one is Gentle and Caring older woman, and the other one is youth. Indeed, an excellent observation from the Sect Master.

(AN: Summon Sherry!)

"Hey, you don't need to do that. I'm sure my disciple can do it!" Conn can't take it anymore, it seems that his existence was forgotten. Her disciple beauty is not losing against them, but...

"Is she really can? I'm not sure, I heard the rumor that your disciple always talks about her younger brother..." The Third Elder said meaningfully.

"Oh, I also heard about that" The Sect Master nodded in agreement.

"What!" It is indeed like what they said, even he also knows the rumor about that. But he still believes that his disciple wasn't someone like that. She is just proud of her younger brother. And now, it is questioned by them. He needs to find some problems. "That's right, The Ninth Elder disciple still hasn't come back from her mission."

"Hmm, it is as he said. She will come back here approximately a month from now" The Third Elder said. Since he didn't want to have another disciple. He often keeps a tab on the disciples inside the sect.

"This is a problem" The Sect Master is in deep thought.

"How about letting my disciple take him in first" Conn immediately took this chance.

The Sect Master looked at him mysteriously. "Fine, we will let your disciple have him first. Then, after the Ninth Elder's Disciple, Song Yu, has come back. We will transfer him to her. I will talk about this with the Ninth Elder."

The Sect Master said it sternly, it seems that he is stubborn about this matter. Conn was starting to regret talking about Alex. He can only grit his teeth and agree to it.

...

Back to Alex.

When he found that he is restricted from producing five cut in an instant because of his cultivation, he decided to comprehend the rest of it. Understanding it might be easy, but practicing and using it is the obstacle. For Alex, it took him an hour to comprehend the rest. And at this time, Alex was wondering about the description of Seven Stars Cut.

'Creating Seven Cuts simultaneously... but by focusing all my energy into that attack'. From the first sentence, he doubts about it. Why does it become a single attack, previously it said 'Creating Seven Cuts Simultaneously' from Seven Attacks to One Attack... It was the first direction of him. He made a sword wave from four cuts. Though it looks like a single sword wave, in fact, it was made up of four sword waves.

Alex is thinking, what if it is really a single sword wave, And only one. It wasn't four sword waves or whatsoever. Do I need to fuse the sword waves? But how?

Alex pondered deeply. He then recalls the next part. 'The biggest strength of Seven Star Cut is the way you are utilizing the pressure points of yourself to add the weight in your sword, thus increasing the force of your sword.'

And it also didn't make sense to what he is thinking... He is in a dead-end. But, because of his thought about this. On the outside, the Stone Monument lit up. Alex was ignorant about this, He noticed there is a wooden doll in human shape using a sword. Alex frowned and instinctively took out his sword. But this is only his consciousness. There is no way that he can bring a sword in here.

Three words suddenly appeared above the wooden doll. 'Imagine the Sword'. Alex didn't understand what it is, but he tried to imagine a Sword. And yeah, an illusory sword appeared in his right hand. The moment the sword appears in his hand, The wooden doll raised its sword and swung it down. A sword wave is flying toward him.

Alex is wondering what happens. He observed that it is the sword wave from Seven Stars Cut. But it was only formed by a single sword wave. He also used the same move to cancel it. After destroying the first attack, the wooden doll raised its sword again.

This time Alex has prepared for it, the moment another sword wave is flying toward him. He also used the same move, and this time, he used two sword waves. But surprisingly, his two sword wave is broken in an instant the moment it touched.

"Splitting Sword" Alex used his Splitting Sword to counter the sword wave, but he was blown away by that. He was too shocked by that. Because the moment his sword and the sword wave touched. He can feel one thing, "Sword Intent."

He looked at the wooden doll with a startled expression. Now that he observes this wooden doll, he realized that it has the same cultivation as him, which is 2-Star Martial Master. He is wondering why exactly his 'Seven Stars Cut' with two waves lose by a single wave?

Next, he also used the same move with two waves. But this time, he fused it with his Sword Intent. But the same as before, His Sword Wave still lose. For the fourth time, Alex tried to use another move.

"Sanguin Sword Art, Thirteenth Slash"

His Thirteenth Slash, along with his sword intent, managed to destroy the attack from the wooden doll. Suddenly, the energy within the wooden doll rose.

3-Star Martial Master.

4-Star Martial Master.

5-Star Martial Master.

And it finally stopped at 6-Star Martial Master. It sends another sword wave, but this time, it was stronger than the previous one.

"Sanguin Sword Art, Thirteenth Slash"

The result is his Thirteenth Slash swipe off by it easily. He immediately recharged the Himura House Art. And swing it toward the Sword Wave.

"Sixth Slash!"

Alex managed to destroy it, but the momentum make him retreat a few steps back. The wooden suddenly jumped forward and engaged Alex in close combat. Alex was confused as to why this wooden doll become like this. After all, just before it only testing him with 'Seven Stars Cut'.

He tried to block the first attack. But because of the difference of cultivation, he felt the power from the swing just now. He immediately activated his 'Immovable Step' to help him gather the strength he needs. After he blocked it, Alex swings his sword toward its neck, and surprisingly, it prevented his attack effortlessly. It becomes a real fight right now.

They continued clashing for a while. In Alex's head, filled with this question. 'Why my Seven Stars Cut with two waves defeated by a single wave with or without a sword intent.' It is not the fault of the Sword Intent, and he is sure about it. Then, the problem must be within the Seven Stars Cut.

An idea flashed in his mind. What if the real instruction wasn't to make seven attacks into a single attack. Instead, it makes a single attack worth seven attacks? By utilizing the pressure points, I can make a stronger force... Alex can't say for sure, but it's worth to observe. The wooden doll didn't have any other skills instead of the Seven Stars Cut.

Alex imagined a spear on his left hand. Blocking all of the attacks from the wooden doll is taking all of him. He decided to reveal his spear to help him have a better time to observe the wooden doll. Alex used both of his Sword Intent and Spear Intent at the moment, and he is finally starting to push back the wooden doll.

He retreated a few steps back to create the distance, from his observation, the wooden doll will use another 'Seven Stars Cut' at this moment. And, yeah. He is right. The wooden doll raised its sword. Alex pointed out his spear against it.

"Luminous Spear Technique. Pierce"

The spear released a beam of light charging toward the wooden doll. When the wooden doll just made the Sword Wave, the beam reached it and surprisingly destroyed it easily and pierce the left hand of the doll. Alex was surprised to see that because he is thinking of using that technique to lessen the force behind the sword wave a bit. But he never expected that it destroyed the sword wave along with the wooden doll left arm.

He thought that must be the weakness and the secret for this 'Seven Stars Cut'. He let the wooden doll used it again while activating his Spirit Eyes Technique. He vaguely saw three similar energy along with a Sword Intent. He now wished that he level up this Spirit Eyes Technique, this technique is convenient. He decided to level it up when the opportunity arrived since it was pretty hard to train his eyes technique. It is required to enhance the eyes and obviously needs resources to do that.

He continues observing the 'Seven Star Cut'. The three similar energy suddenly fused with the Sword Intent and became one.

"Flash Step"

Alex dodged the sword wave. He decided to look at another one to confirm his guest. When the wooden doll used it again, and it is the same. Alex has concluded his hypothesis. It is really like what he guessed.

'Seven Star Cut', it does not make seventh sword wave but looks like one. Instead, it made seven sword waves in a single swing and fused all of them by using the Sword Intent as the medium. In other words, It's not making seven attacks look one. But it is making an attack worth of seven attacks...

'What a bizarre explanation' Alex thought, he somehow wanted to pounce the creator of this sword technique. He tried to replicate the move. Utilizing his pressure points, he raised his sword and swung it down.

Two sword wave along with a Sword Intent flying toward the wooden doll. He decided to used two waves first since he didn't know whether he will succeed or not. As he predicted, it failed. It didn't even fuse. The Sword Wave destroyed by the wooden doll's Seven Stars Cut.

"Flash Step"

He dodged it completely using 'Flash Step'. He decided to throw another strike, and this time, the Sword Intent along with the sword wave starting to fuse, but the fusion is taking too long. Unlike the wooden doll that managed to fuse them together in a split second, His sword wave only fused a quarter of the energy when both of their sword waves clashed. Alex now knows the direction to progress. He only needs time to practice energy flow and control.

After another half-day, Alex finally.

"Seven Stars Cut"

Alex has mastered this technique up to the second sword wave. He found a problem when he tried to fuse the third wave. He didn't have enough Spiritual Energy to fuse the three sword waves together, thus resulting in the energy become unstable and destroyed itself. And the wooden doll itself also needs to boost its cultivation to 6-Star Martial Master before using it. So, he decided to hold it off for a while until his cultivation enough.

"Sanguin Sword Art, Thirteenth Slash"

Alex didn't use his spear anymore. After using the 'Thirteenth Slash', he covered his sword with his Spear Intent.

"Luminous Spear Technique. Pierce!"

He used his usual Spear Technique but using his sword. The moment the Sword Waves canceled each other, the light beam shoot toward the wooden doll and finally pierced its head. The wooden doll becomes broken and falls down lifelessly...It didn't have any life to begin with...

"Haiz, It took a long time for me to figure out the meaning by the Sword Art. Who is the one that made the 'Seven Stars Cut'? Can't he use a more appropriate word so it can make me understand it easier? I'm not sure if others can understand the meaning behind it." Alex complained

When he complained, there is suddenly a shadow appeared from the wooden doll. It takes the form of an old man with many scars on his face and his body. It made him look very scary at this moment.

Alex, who saw it have his jaw dropped to the ground, he can't help but scream. "Gho...gho...GHOST!"
