Chapter 97 Ch 97: Alex V/S Alham

The battle continued and very soon, it was time for Alex's next fight. He went to the stage along with his opponent who was also a Ranked 6 Outer Court Disciple of the Floating Cloud Academy.

His name was Alham Marnoir and he was at the Innate Stage Level 8.

"Although you are powerful, you are far from my equal. You should withdraw from the battle. If not, then it would be your biggest mistake." Alham's face revealed a sinister smile.

Alex's eyes surged with light as he replied, "I can say exactly the same thing to you."

The crowd below the arena burst into an uproar as all sorts of voices filled the air.

"Although he is powerful, he is really arrogant!"

"Yes, I don't think he can defeat Alham. Alham is Ranked 6th in the Outer Court and he had been here for more than a year already. And Alex has been here for only a few months. For a new disciple, he is quite arrogant."

Everyone present knew that Alham was hard to deal with. They were unaware of Alex's cultivation base and his true strength, so in their eyes, Alex couldn't defeat Alham at all.

"Whoosh!"

Alham was angered. He moved his hand, then a sharp sword appeared in his hand. The cold sword force gushed out of his body. The dense spirit energy was like a golden vine climbing up the Sword's Blade. The golden rings of light surrounded the Sword's Blade. It was dazzling and the imposing manner it gave off caused the air to tremble.

Seeing Alham's imposing manner, the people below the stage again confirmed their thoughts.

Below the stage, Matt crossed his arms in front of his body with a frivolous smile on his face.

Getty Topher, the second-ranked disciple of Outer Court also revealed a slight smile. In his eyes, the Five Giants and Alex were already people from two different worlds. He could quietly sit and watch Alex being defeated wantonly.

"I'm not running!" Alex laughed coldly, at the same time, a cold chill gushed out of his body.

"Boom!"

Just as Alex was about to make his move, an astonishing and powerful aura exploded out from Alham's body. An invisible wave of air blew all the rocks and sand on the ground away, and endless wind blades surrounded Alham, forming a golden condensed air whirl.

In the next moment, along with a powerful aura, Alham moved his sword and slashed out, causing the sharp sword in his hand to release a bright light.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The shrill sound of waves of air disturbed the air above the Arena. The sharp sword in Alham's hand released a piercing golden radiance, causing the Sword Qi to become even thicker. In the blink of an eye, an illusory sword image that was nearly ten meters tall suddenly appeared behind Alham.

"What's that?"

Everyone below the stage was shocked as they looked at the illusory sword image behind Alham, making a showy display of his ability and emitting a palpitating momentum.

"This is... the Spirit Sword War Art, one of the most difficult martial arts techniques in the outer court to learn. Being able to condense such a strong sword force is indeed impressive."

"It seems like Alham intends to finish Alex with one move."

"Senior Brother Alham is mighty."

Amidst the exclamations below, everyone seemed to have seen Alex's miserable ending.

"Buzz!"

Just at that moment, Alex focused his gaze and the Heavy Earth Sword instantly appeared in his hand. The surging Chaios Energy instantly covered his sword, restlessly describing the burning flames.

"Hey!" Alham's face revealed a sinister smile, and the Sword Qi around his body started to converge onto the sword in his hand. An extremely powerful aura started to shake the Qi flow around him.

"Ignorant fool!"

Alham bellowed and moved the sword tip, causing the unstoppable sword force to surge out like a violent tide. His sword was as fast as lightning, shocking the entire audience!

In an instant, a substantial image of the sword tore through the air, dragging a gust of wind behind it as it screamed toward Alex. Everyone present couldn't help but narrow their eyes, and as the sword image moved, it rapidly enlarged to five to six meters long. Circles of golden cyclone ripples whirled in front of the blade rapidly.

An unstoppable strong gust of wind rushed towards Alex.

Alham's sword was so powerful. It seemed that he wanted to defeat Alex on the spot.

Just when everyone thought that Alex would be defeated by this sword strike, an astonishing surging aura suddenly rose from Alex's body.

The piercing Chaos Energy swept in all directions.

"Ahh!"

Along with a sharp ghostly wail, the Heavy Earth Sword in Alex's hand instantly turned scarlet, and its entire body turned blood-red.

"What's that?"

The dazzling bright red HeavyEarth Sword looked as if it had been soaked in blood; it was filled with a murderous aura and heavy killing intent.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

In the next second, Alex directly slashed out the Heavy Earth Sword. Incomparable berserk power erupted like volcanic magma and that glaring blood-red light recklessly blossomed. A cold aura enveloped half of the Arena.

Boom!

An especially heavy and violent shockwave exploded on the platform as the Heavy earth Sword collided against the powerful sword shadow of Alham's.

Golden sword shadow and red sword… The two kinds of shocking energy shockwaves were comparable to the convergence of two mighty currents. Strands of crisscrossing cracks spread out on the surface of the stage, and the rocks that disintegrated inch by inch were like a startled Swarm of Moths.

"He actually withstood it?"

"That fellow actually withstood Senior Brother Alham's attack with might and main?"

Everyone below the stage was shocked by the scene in front of them. Many of them stood up from their seats.

However, what was even more surprising was what happened afterward.

The corner of Alex's mouth raised into a cold smile, following that, an even stronger imposing aura erupted from his body, which instantly overshadowed Alham, who was at the rank Innate Stage Level 9.

What?

In the next moment, the sharp sword light created a thunder-like momentum.

Boom!

Accompanied by an explosive sound, the golden sword shadow was directly shattered, exploding into crystal pyroclast. But Alex's offense did not decrease at all. The sword light, with unstoppable force, shot towards Alham who was in front of him.

Everyone was shocked.

Alham's expression changed greatly, with his eyes that were filled with panic reflecting the sharp glint of the sword. Without any time to dodge, Alham immediately held the sword horizontally in front of him, intending to block the attack.

"Thump!"

The tip of the Heavy Earth Sword struck solidly at the center of the other party's Sword, and the force that was comparable to the impact of a mountain came crashing down, causing his sword to be split into two pieces.

The tyrannical force all surged into the other party's body.

Following that, under the countless stares from the audience, Alham was directly sent flying. The fresh blood that he spat out fluttered in the air, forming a string of eye-piercing blood flowers.

"Bam!"

Alham heavily smashed onto the stage. He felt like his chest was about to split, there was a wound on his chest. Fortunately, Alex controlled his strength very well and stopped in time, otherwise, Alham's fate would have been different. He would have died here.

"You lost!"

As the disdainful voice came out from Alex, the entire platform fell into a deathly silence. All the people present felt as if they were slapped in the face, as their minds were in chaos from the slap.

Everyone was stunned. Even the four among five giants couldn't help but frown …

As for Anya, she was well aware of Alex's true strength. She knew Alex's strength has already far surpassed anyone in the Outer Court. So, she was not surprised when she saw Alex defeating Alham, the Former Sixth Ranked in the Outer Court.

"This kid, he has actually become this strong in this short period of time?" At this moment, Neon at some distance looked surprised but also happy.

On the Stage, Alex had already become the focus of everyone's attention. The fact that Alham was defeated by Alex was quite shocking.

What none of the people present here knew was that Alex didn't use much of his strength to defeat Alham. He only used a few strands of Chaos Energy and solely relied on the Heavy Earth Sword to win this battle.

"Can you announce the winner now?" Alex looked at the decon responsible for the battles on the stage and asked.

The deacon instantly came back to his senses. he nodded his head and announced, "Now I announce, the winner is Alex White."

Along with this announcement, Alex started receiving a series of system prompts. He was receiving tens of thousands of Energy Points at a very fast speed.

It was no wonder though, after all, other than Anya, no one expected him to win this battle.
