The elders tried to comprehend all of those words first. Before finally, the first elder was the first one to speak, "Let us see it first."

The sect master knew his intention and nodded. "Look at this, if you are very careful, you might notice the process. But if you never look at this, you won't know it is a fused sword wave."

"Sect Master, are you going to make me your practice dummy? Why don't I be the one who shows them and let you take it." Finally, Charya broke the tense atmosphere.

"You just want to hit me, aren't you?"

"Gahaha, Old Xiang. It is already unfair to me. I have taken three hits while you only need to take one" Charya laughed. She called the sect master with his name, Xiang Bai.

"Fine, but make sure you control your strength. We can't let the disciple notice this" The sect master finally agreed. Considering the previous sect master was the one who brought her here and raised her. He took great care of this Junior Sister of his.

"I know, I know."

Charya swung her sword down. The elders looked at the sword seriously. They didn't want to miss a single detail. Like what the sect master had said, they noticed there were two sword waves in the beginning, and they merged together in a split second. If no one had too much time and looked at every single detail, they won't notice this.

The sect master destroyed the Sword Wave again. It had the same power as his previous sword wave. Even though his previous Seven Stars Cut didn't immediately fuse. The end's power was the same. That's why Xiang Zheng, the sect master, explained again.

"I'm sure you noticed that my Seven Stars Cut and Ninth Elder's Seven Stars Cut have the same power even though our fused time is different. That is the difficulty in this sword art. If they didn't fuse, they are like a wooden wall. They are too brittle, and we can destroy them easily.

The usual Seven Stars Cut only make seven wooden walls. Even though we reinforce it with our Sword Intent. It is not much different. But the true Seven Stars Cut will fuse. A single layer Seven Stars Cut might only be a wooden wall. But if you fused two of them, it might become a stone wall, if you fused three of them, it might become a metal wall and so on.

I'm sure you know the difference from this example. We need to fuse them immediately after the sword waves left our sword. If they are fused any later than that, our enemy might be able to destroy it easily. So I call this one is the mastery for the Seven Stars Cut. I'm sure in two years, all of you will be able to fuse all seven.

I want all elders and core disciples to learn this. This will raise our chance to win the Grand Tournament for Martial Lord. Regrettably, I can't participate in it. As for the Martial Grandmaster Tournament... with the Outer Disciple Tournament ended today and the Inner Disciple Tournament next year. It is very convenient for us to exploit it.

Like the genius princess that we have seen in the field, there bound to be someone that stands out from the rest. With that, we can focus our cultivation resources for them so they can catch up and might boost our power in the Martial Grandmaster Tournament. That is also included for the Inner Disciple Tournament. We can see after a year which disciple is proficient with the Seven Stars Cut or someone who is strong. We will prepare them within a year to fight those Martial Grandmaster from other influences."

"It is like fate for us. When we need it the most, fate sends the genius princess to make our Heaven Tier Martial Art see the light once again. Has anyone received her as a disciple yet? If not, I might receive her after this" The first elder said.

"I almost forget to mention it. It is not her who managed to uncover the true Seven Stars Cut."

"Not her?" The first elder was confused. Every elder also looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"That's right. A senior has left him in our care, and he managed to unravel the secret of Seven Stars Cut."

"A senior? Who is this Senior?"

"I can't talk about that 'Senior', but I can tell you that he can make our Heavenly Sword Sect disappeared in a single night. For him, it is easy to do so, like flipping a hand. So, make sure you don't do anything that endangers the sect, and we will also protect that Senior's disciple. Even with him alone, that is a blessing for us since he brought back our Heaven Tier Martial Art. I'm sure, he will rise and become strong like that senior" The sect master said this purposely. Although he was unsure by the existence of the 'Master' in Alex's mouth. Alex alone was worth it. He said this so he can protect Alex.

Seeing the seriousness in the sect master's expression. It seems it is not a lie. They nodded gravely, "Yes."

The sect master nodded, "I have left him in Ninth Elder's care."

They didn't know why but all of their minds click at the same time. They immediately knew why. The Ninth Peak only had female disciples. Now with this 'disciple' came to that peak, there was only one thing that came to their mind. They immediately cursed the person in front of them. 'Old Sly Fox!'

He sacrificed the whole ninth peak for that. But this made their misunderstanding went deeper. They thought to go such length, the 'Senior' part must be true.

...

Back to the arena, it was the fourth battle between Berto and Evarado.

"Berto Wins!"

Berto was the rank tenth in the ranking in the Battle Tower while his opponent, Evarado, was the fifteenth. Both of them fought for quite a while, so both of them were pretty exhausted. After a hard fight, Berto finally won.

Finally, the last match for the first round came. Elder Dolf announced it loudly, "Alexander Sirius Versus Reid David."

Upon hearing his name, Alex went to the stage. He looked at the familiar Elder Dolf, who nodded at him. Alex can perceive his happy intention, but he didn't know why he was happy in the first place.

Alex looked at his opponent and astounded to see what he found. He looked at his opponent's hair. With both sides of the head were shaven, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the center. His abstract drawing black shirt along with that black leather jacket.

"What?" Seeing Alex's surprised gaze, he looked at him hatefully. Many laughed at him because of his appearance, but for him, it was the style that matched him the most. As for those who had laughed at him, he shut them up with his power.

"Nothing, A unique style you have" Alex said.

This time, it was his turn to be surprised. This was the first time someone said that to him. Even his parents criticized his style. He said, "You got a good taste. Even so, I will fight with the intention to win. You are strong, and I won't underestimate you."

"Match Starts"

Reid took out his sword from his space ring. Blue colored appeared in front of him as he clenched it with two hands. He raised his sword as the sword started glowing. Alex knew this stance. It was the stance where he used 'Pentagram Slash'

"Four Direction Slash"

"Pentagram Slash"

Alex made the same move. But because his Sword Mastery gave him the power to modify the 'Four Direction Slash' to 'Pentagram Slash', the winner was obvious. From Reid Slash, there was four light came from his sword, they were flying to the sides, up and down. Making a parabolic movement and charged toward Alex.

Unfortunately, Alex's made five slashes with a single move. Four of them destroyed the 'Four Direction Slash' from Reid, leaving only one slash left. The last slash flew toward Reid. With a shocked face, Reid tried to dodge the attack but to no avail.

Everyone was bewildered by what happened, Alex and Reid were obviously using the same move. But, why suddenly there was another slash from Alex? When everyone realized, there was already a cut wound on Reid's body. From his bottom left abdomen to his right shoulder. The blood started gushing out from that wound. His black clothes became blacker and wet by his blood. He also didn't know what happened.

The third elder was dumbfounded on the arena. He was a Martial Lord, he can see it clearly as to what happened. 'Four Direction Slash', as its name implied, it was a Sword Art that sent four slashes to the enemy from four directions. Up, down, left, and right. But Alex's Four Direction Slash was not like that. There was an additional slash in Alex's Four Direction Slash. In other words, it was the fifth slash. The fifth slash from 'Four Direction Slash'. It was unprecedented. 'Four Direction Slash' was one of popular Sword Art in the sect, so many disciples chose to learn it. But no one managed to change it or make the fifth cut like what Alex did just now.

Not only him that was surprised by the sudden fifth slash, but also the elders. The moment they saw what happened, they were shocked and stood up. Even the sect master surprised by it. Only Charya who didn't leave her seat. She had known about it from Song Yu. She also knew the fact that he can increase the range of 'Omnislash' from the original fifty meters to a hundred meters.

Seeing it by her own eyes might surprise her, but it won't shock her. She had prepared for it. Looking at the shocked face of these old elders, her heart satisfied. She laughed, "Gahaha, that is his improved 'Four Direction Slash'. It sends five slashes toward the enemy. I think he called it with 'Pentagram Slash'. All of your expression was really satisfying."

The elders looked at her then to the sect master. They though their Sect Martial Arts was perfect and flawless with no room for improvement. But it was wrong, and it was proven by Alex.

Alex, on the arena, looked at the third elder after he made that strike. Reid said that he wouldn't underestimate him, but in the end, Alex was beyond his imagination. Or it can be said, he still underestimated him.

"Alex..."

"Wait! I can still fight" Before the third elder announced the result. Reid suddenly stopped him. One of his hands was in his chest while the other hand still clenching his sword. His eyes still didn't lose its determination as he looked at Alex. "You...you are still holding back after all of this fight. I request for the last exchange with Seven Stars Cut."

When Reid said that, the spectators were startled. 'Alex is still holding back?'

Remembering the fight with Gunzo and Abrams, it was unlikely as Alex had shown them how strong he was at that time. But, hearing that he was still holding back... 'Are you freaking kidding me?' After all, Alex was only an 8-Star Martial Master. If Alex was a 10-Star Martial Master, they might accept it. But he was not.

Alex had heard about the exchange for 'Seven Stars Cut'. But for him, it was not the time to use it, so he shook his head. He rejected the idea.

Reid can't accept it, he still raised his sword as the last bit of his Spiritual Energy sparked on his sword. Reid swung his sword down as five sword waves came out from his sword.

Seeing the sword waves flew to him. Alex raised his sword a bit to his chest level and swung it horizontally.

"Sanguin Sword Art, Fifteen Slash"

Alex sent a sword wave to break that 'Seven Stars Cut'. Of course, in this sword wave, there was Alex's Sword Intent fused with it. The 'Seven Stars Cut' fought quite well in the clash. Unfortunately, after three seconds, the Seven Stars Cut broke, and Alex's Sanguin Sword Art flew toward Reid.

With that, Dolf Kolk immediately stopped the match. He took out his Sword to cut Alex's Sanguin Sword Art. After experiencing Evelyn's Seven Stars Cut with her Sword Intent. Elder Dolf didn't want to repeat the same mistake. So, he used his sword to destroy the attack certainly.

Reid finally passed out. Elder Dolf caught him and announced, "Alexander Sirius Wins!"

*Cheers*

As his usual cheers with an extra ruckus after hearing Reid's words. After all, no one thought Alex was still holding back.
