------3rd Person POV-----

Baaang!! bang! Bang!

Swuush!!

Srarakkk!!!

The sound of sword clashing and magic explosion resounded in this chaotic battlefield. the intense sound of the battle between what was considered a pinnacle powerhouse in the sky brought some tremor throughout the chaotic battlefield as the dark cloud and thunderstorm ragging madly above the two classing individuals! From time to time, a clap of thunder in the size of a fist could be seen striking around them madly!

The Grandmaster level Alex Vs Martial Emperor level Li Gang! 

The Western Continent power system Vs Eastern Continent power system!

The battle between them shaking the heaven and tremble the earth as the mortal shivering, witnessing its greatness!

Not far from them, the adventurers, Arkhaim town guards, and the Silver Wolf still vigorously fighting with the monster horde lead by some of the Green Ogres.

Among them, Chali, Al, Eliz, and Silvi fighting together with two cloaked feminine figures. for some reason, they could be seen dealing with the monsters leisurely as the monster movement became dull and strengthless affected by some weird aura enveloping their battlefield.

Al : Vice Guildmaster... are you sure that man didn't have any intention to hurt Alex? if something happens to him... I don't mind to break the rule and abolished the adventurer guild here. Vic- no, Kael Albens!

Even though they fighting against the monster horde side by side, they still could have some leisure to talk thanks to the two cloaked figure, no! more precisely, thanks to "one" of the cloaked mysterious figure that her face couldn't be seen beside the Vice Guildmaster Kael Albens as her presence was really overwhelming and put the pressure to the monster horde here as it's made them sluggish.

This was one of the reasons the Silver Wolf getting stuck here and couldn't help Alex who still fighting alone not far from them. Even it's the Lord Class Sable, under the Mysterious figure pressure, he became docile and just continued to slaughter the monster horde obediently.

They didn't know who this mysterious person really was, as the big cloak hide her appearance fully. not only that, for some reason, she had this familiar translucent screen that made her presence really dim. For Alex woman, they somehow felt the similarity between the screen that mysterious woman had and their master, Alex Illusive Barrier.

Puhiiiii!!

Awoooo!!!

Graourroooaaaa

As the dying scream of the monster continued reverberating from time to time. the Vice Guildmaster, the green-haired mature woman that had a very beautiful face of that elven race, answered Al question Calmly

Kael Albens : You don't have to worry. He is the acquaintance of the lady beside me here. after 10 minutes, he will go with the lady here and leave your master alone.

Al : It'll be better if that's really the case... and Chali, why are you being silent since a while ago?! did you not worry about your master?!

Al who seemingly not convinced could only give up for now and looked at Chali beside her who always silent from the start.

Chali: Eh? ah.. of course, I worry about Master, but since he commands us to continue slaughter these gruesome things now, we could only believe him. and.... murmur* somehow that mysterious cloaked lady feel really familiar... is this only my imagination? but Albens...* Anyway, all we can do now is believe in him. master is a strong young man, he cannot be killed easily! I believe he will win that Eastern Continent Powerhouse!

Mysterious cloaked woman : I wonder....

Claaasshh!!!

Bang!

Awoooooooooo!!

Grrorooaaarr!

Meanwhile, in the center of the stormy sky not far from the battlefield, The confrontation between two individual that "called" to be the peak of this world still continued intensely.... but for some reason, you could see that the battle turned out to be a one-sided battle which Alex being beaten badly by the young man from the Eastern Continent, Li Gang.

Swusshh swuuush swuush

Li Gang, Who Looking at the hundred Sword Qi that gunning toward his direction leisurely dodge it without a sweat

BANG!!!

SSllllaaashhh!!!!!

Li Gang : ckckck! I don't know how the hell you could get a lot of skill, but... what a pathetic combat technique that you have there~ and this Sword Qi is somewhat familiar? sigh~ you really wasted the good skill with your trashy control! here! 1000 Li Slaughter Sword, 2nd move, Heaven defying Strike!!!

GLaaagaarrr!!!!!

BANG!!

With one stroke of his sword, Alex's body flew out like a kite as blood started drenching his topless body. for ordinary people, maybe this strike looked like an ordinary Slash Skill. but the angle and tricky shape made Alex failed to dodge it thoroughly! even with his backtrack and Blink skill, the Sword energy always finds its way to flew toward him like the space itself couldn't hinder it!

Alex who still bloodied and tattered still has an exciting smile plastered on his face, as though this losing battle couldn't damp his spirit at all, this time he absorbed all the Sword Qi into his body after knowing it's useless, and focused on his dueling skill

Alex : cough* cough* HAHA HAHAHA!!! this is the excitement!!! finally! I can finally feel alive!!!! HAHAAHA come!! you legendary character bastard!! don't think I will be losing with just this!! 

Haaat!!!!

Thunder God Strike!!! 

Absorbing the lightning in the sky, Alex's body became white lightning as it's creeping in the sky as fast as a light toward Li Gang! looking at Alex who became lightning itself, Li Gang leisurely dodge him with some kind of movement technique easily and let Alex moved through beside him before the white lightning struck the ground not far from him

DOGAAANNN!!

Li Gang : too predictable! powerful skill indeed... but once again, it's useless if the user itself has trashy control! ckckckc... you are too lacking, you have many skills but no expertise, I wonder who your teacher is? if I became him I will bury myself into the ground because of shame! sigh...

Brak!!

Alex body stood up once again and became visible after jumping from the buried ground. He lifted up his head before staring at Li Gang with a heated gaze as his mouth smirking in excitement!

Alex : Teacher? I don't have one! don't underestimate someone like me! I used to struggle alone! I don't need what bullshit teacher! The world itself is my teacher!! That Shitty world teach me so much about what a human being really is, and this world teach me what power really is! so stop your bullshit and fight!! HAAAAT! "Nightingale EX!"

Like a Storm, Alex dashed toward Ligang in the sky! around him a fire-ring circling around his body which enveloping something like lightning Nightingale!

The fire ring started moving altogether with the thunderbird inside it before enveloped and cloaked it firmly!

Li Gang who seeing this move, changed his face for the first time for a while before relaxed himself once again and strike with his 1000 li Slaughter Sword technique!

Li Gang : 1000 Li Slaughter Sword, 3rd move! Flipping the Heaven!

As he waving his sword slowly, the world in Alex vision suddenly became dim, as he felt the Magic Energy around the world vanished for a while! 

As Alex was trapped in this environment for a few moments, he could feel his enormous magic power being sucked by mysterious matter that enveloped his vision before making him powerless!

After a while, he realized that all the skills he has become useless and couldn't be used at this moment! the Thunder and fire that enveloped his body vanished slowly before disappear completely!

After a couple of seconds, the world in Alex became normal and stabilize once again. He could feel the Magic power and the Natural Energy in his surrounding once more as he stabilized himself with the Sky Monarch skill that became useable once again

Li Gang : what do you wanna do with an unfinished technique like that? and your statement that you don't need a teacher, sounds really arrogant in my ear! ck ck do you have a mirror? looking at your unsightly appearance now did you still really think that way?

Hearing Li Gang remark Alex ignored him and dashed toward him once again!

BANG!!

SLASSHH!!!

GLAAARRRRR!!!

....

..

Li Gang : Unbalanced power lead to the unbalanced movement!

.

....

.....

BANG!!!

SWOOOSHHH!!

Li Gang : your basic is all messed up, the strike is all dull, and I can't feel any intent in your sword ck ck ck!

BANG!

...

..

.

SWOOOOSHHH!!!

SRAAZZAAAKKK!!

Li Gang : Too many wasteful movements and needlessly wasting energy! Look! Opening everywhere like a beehive! Here~ 5th Movement, Yama Blade!

A dark Energy strike toward Alex and predicting his blink location before hit him heavily! his body flew out for a while before he stabilized himself and continued dashed toward Li Gang vigorously.

Swuushhh!!!!

This Time Alex used his Magic and throw it in madness like a machine gun!

Lightning and fire bombarding Li Gang furiously but none of it could scratch his Daoist Attire at all as he moved elusively!

Li Gang : too monotone! no variation, no sharpness, ck ck ck, your combat experience lacking so much and make me start to pity all the powerful skill that you possess. because of the pathetic user, it all becomes garbage! sigh~

After giving his remarks Li Gang continued his battle with Alex!

Bang!

CLASHH!!

Throughout the 9 minutes, Alex being beaten and collapsed to the ground before making the battlefield under him full of holes and crater because of his fallen tattered body.

During the last minute, Alex decided to almost use all his mana and control all muscle fiber throughout his body to perform the technique that he's not finished and completed before!

crackle crakle

Swuwuwushh!

The blood inside his body boiling as it started radiated a godly aura wildly!

Little by little, The Aura started forming to that of a gigantic bird! as Alex felt his MP continuously being sucked by the giant bird aura. Fire and lightning started brewing in the seeming core of the gigantic bird as it continued giving an ominous air and made the atmosphere quivered

tremble tremble!!

With the birth of this technique, the earth started trembling in anger, and the Thunder in the sky ragging in madness as if the Heaven itself didn't want to let Alex finishing his move! 

The sky continued spreading out gigantic lighting! but for some reason, all of that being absorbed like a sponge by the Bird aura that came out from Alex body

As for the earth, They started trembling madly before making the ground right under Alex cracked and spewing out the fire from deep inside the mother earth core! 

Seeing these ominous scenes, for the first time, Li Gang's face became pale as he was frightened! Li Gang firmed the grip on his sword seriously as he started to perform his Sword technique!

The world started to tremble as the sky and the earth furiously ragging by continued brewing magic power in madness within the surrounding area of their battle!

As the two of them readied their respective move to start clashing

Mysterious Cloaked Woman : Stop right there!!!

All of a sudden, the world become still for a moment after hearing the voice of the mysterious woman!

The world started to stabilize as the tremor slowly stop and the cloud in the sky disappeared altogether little by little before the blue sky became visible!

--------Alex POV----------

.

I could feel my body aching so much as it became numb after the sudden change of the surrounding's magic power movement while the woman's voice started to reverberate in the battlefield before.

Cough!

Bleearrghh!!!

I coughed heavily before spurting a liter of blood from my mouth from the sudden backlashes of the forced stopping skill. My knee became weak before I lost the energy and concentration to use my Sky monarch skill!

As I could sense my body weakly falling from the sky, I hurriedly inhaled the surrounding magic power and the natural wind energy in the atmosphere before my body started recovering at rapid speed!

Before long, I could feel my body once again and started using my Sky Monarch skill to stay floating in the sky

[haaaah.... hah....]

As I heaved my breath heavily, I saw Li Gang who being dragged like a kid by a mysterious cloaked woman who slowly moving toward my direction.

Upon arriving, the Cloaked woman said something to me with her strange hoarse voice that made me flinched!

[You, I don't know how the hell you could get my skill, but I'll remember this as you owed me a favor! don't try to deny it by saying some nonsense because I always know it from the first time you using my skill to teleporting around here~ Hence, you better don't run around when I come to you for the payment later! anyway, isn't like you could hide from me in the first place~]

'T-this wo-woman! Don't tell me!'

Before I could finish speculating her identity and tried to appraise her in my mind, she continued her speech

[And you better go back soon, as your woman still waiting for you there worriedly. I have some business with this brat here, so excuse me~]

Before I could answer her, I saw she already activating her teleportation skill to teleport herself with pitiful Li Gang that still had his ear pulled like a kid by her. The strong and majestic Li Gang, now looked like an ordinary 18 years old kid who was scolded by her aunt! Li Gang who seemingly noticed my gaze hurriedly yelled something to me as his body started to disappear altogether with the mysterious woman!

[Count yourself lucky! if cece didn't stop our battle I wonder you still can stand up healthily right now! hmph->

ZoooooZhhh!!!

I became dumbfounded after hearing his somewhat childish remarks. recalling the almost 10 minute battle with him, I sighed tiredly as I started murmuring to myself

[Thanks for your guidance... and thank you for stopping me...]

This was the first time in my life, I feel what having someone that didn't expect anything and just taking care of me feel like... and I glad that she stopped us in time, I could feel my body will explode at any time in that last move.

Anyhow, through this battle, I woke up from my narrow-mindedness once again after realizing that what I saw was just the tip of the iceberg of this world. 

'Like Li Gang said, I have too many skills but there is no expertise or focused in one! and this Immortal prestige is became useless when I started fighting with him... maybe he himself is immortal... as expected of the son of the Mythical figure...'

sigh....

'Come to think of it, I failed to appraised that mysterious woman... she seems to used the same artifact like the Guildmaster now, it can't be helped as her skills being copied by me once after all~ that madam Catherine... I'm kinda curious why Powerhouse from the different continent coming to this Arkhaim town for?'
