Chapter 215: Disciple

215 Disciple

"Albert Wins!"

*Cheers*

Alex closed his eyes. Evelyn and the rest noticed him. They knew the relationship between them. Watching his friend lost was pretty disturbing.

"Big Brother Alex, Big Brother Simon just didn't have enough time to cultivate. If he had another two or three years, he should be able to defeat him easily." Trying to comfort him, Evelyn said.

Alex patted her head and spoke, "I am fine. I am sure that he is not the one that can't fight with that challenge."

Evelyn and the rest were relieved after he said that.

Not long after this fight, Lena came to the stage. Her opponent was a 9-Star Martial Master. Lena's rank in the Battle Tower was 246th, and her opponent was 179th. He can be considered as one of the weakest 9-Star Martial Master as his rank was at the bottom from all the outer disciples that had 9-Star cultivation.

Lena looked at her opponent. He used a metal gauntlet as his weapon. He wore a white bandana, and he wore a black set of clothes that close to Tai Chi Uniform.

"Match Starts!"

Both of them immediately released their Spiritual Energy. Surprisingly, the amount of their Spiritual Energy didn't differ so much. Lena was close to 9-Star Martial Master as her opponent was a new 9-Star Martial Master.

Lena's opponent, Hendra, released his element on his fist. A flame rose from his hand and covered his hand. His gauntlet was designed specifically to resist his fire. He made the first move. He punched forward.

The fire on his fist suddenly flared up. Like a flamethrower on Earth. The flame burst out toward Lena.

"Raging Waves" Lena only raised her sword and swung it horizontally. Alex didn't manage to see her element, so he finally found out that her element was water. Alex knew Evelyn's element in their training. She had the same element as him, a Fire Element.

A projectile of Ocean Waves suddenly swept the arena. The blazing fire suddenly vanished as the Ocean Waves put it down instantly.

"Guardian!" Hendra suddenly stomped the ground as he crossed his hands in front of him. A shield suddenly appeared in front of him. The shield broke the ocean waves and shielded him from the water.

With the waves as her curtain, Lena disappeared. When the waves were over, She suddenly appeared and approached Hendra from his back. As expected from a 9-Star Martial Master, Hendra was not that easy to be fooled. He realized that Lena was approaching from his rear. He immediately turned back and raised his stances, he was ready for close combat.

Surprisingly, Lena suddenly opened her palm. Suddenly a blue light appeared on her palm, the blue light slowly became a sword shape. She gripped the light and threw it to her opponent.

"Sword Energy Bomb, Fly"

The light flew toward the Hendra. He was taken aback by this sudden move. Flame rose again in his hand as he punched the light with his gauntlet.

"Hexagonic Smash"

The fist clashed with the sword, but surprisingly, the light contained Lena's element. The water element inside the sword suddenly suppressed the fire. And it pushed Hendra's fist back. It threw off his balance, Lena tried to cut him down with this move. Unfortunately, a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect was not that easy. He threw his other fist to block Lena's sword and jumped back to stabilize his form.

Alex saw the peculiar Sword Art. He furrowed his eyebrows. Evelyn came to him, She knew Alex's talent in sword since he taught her. But she never saw the depth of his talent in sword, so she wanted to test it with this, "Big Brother Alex, how about that Sword Art? That is our royal family Sword Art, it is called Sword Energy Bomb."

"It is a handy Sword Art. It can be infused by the Martial Artist's element. If he or she had a Fire Element like you, that can increase the force and make an explosion. If it was infused by a plant user, it might be able to grow a plant or a vine and restricted the opponent's movement." Alex said casually.

At first, he was a bit interested in this Sword Art. But, judging from his observation, he can only use it from his palm. If he used both of his sword and his spear in his hands, he can't use this Sword Art. So, this Sword Art was not that useful for him in the long run. That's why he lost his motivation to copy this Sword Art.

On the contrary, Evelyn was shocked. She had heard about him being able to copy a Sword Art just from looking, of course, Song Yu was the source of that. She never experienced him doing that, so she was curious. To grab some vital information just by looking at the Sword Art, she was convinced. Alex was really able to copy a Sword Art just by looking.

She thought she had not repaid him yet for his teaching, so she said, "If Big Brother Alex wants to learn it, Evelyn can show it to you. Or even other Sword Arts that big brother fancied."

"No, I'm not interested in learning Sword Arts for now. Too many Sword Arts might hinder my decision on which one I should use. That's why I am fine with a few core Sword Arts." Alex said.

Evelyn then said, "Then, how about Spirit Stones? I have fifty thousand Spirit Stones with me from my family. I remembered that I had not paid Big Brother Alex's teaching yet. So..."

Alex patted her head before she finished, "It's fine. You should use your Spirit Stones well."

Of course, if she knew that Alex had more than four hundred thousand Spirit Stones, she might get shocked by that. For her kingdom, it was only a part of their revenue. After all, as one of the biggest kingdoms in the Willow Continent. Her kingdom amassed a few million Spirit Stones annually. But that also for nurturing their future generation.

Evelyn had a hundred thousand Spirit Stones initially. She had used half of it to help her cultivate. A hundred thousand Spirit Stones for a single Martial Master, it was colossal. But for a genius like Evelyn, it was worth it. But, if she knew that Sherry had used a few times worth of her, it might blow her mind.

Alex was also planning to strike a deal with Song Yu after this tournament. With his current pocket, Sherry and He would be able to finish them in two or three months, considering Sherry will be a Grandmaster Stage.

After rejected by Alex, she became a bit downcast. "Then, is there anything Big Brother wants?"

"It's fine. I just want to win this tournament for the moment." Alex said. Noticing her expression, she reminded him of Simon. He flicked her forehead. "Maybe, in the future, I might need from you. So, I will hold this for now."

Evelyn looked at him, and she smiled, "Un! It's a promise."

Back to the arena, Lena hadn't defeated Hendra's yet. They continued to clash for a few more minutes. But, the tide slowly turned to Lena's favor. Before suddenly,

"Raging Waves"

Ocean Waves swept the arena. Like his previous solution, Hendra stomped the ground with his right foot as he put his hands in his front. A shield appeared in front of him and blocked the waves in front of him.

Finally, Lena made another sword on her hands and threw it to Hendra.

"Sword Energy Bomb"

It exploded and broke the shield. The waves swept him around and finally.

"Seven Stars Cut"

Four layers of Seven Stars Cut made its way to Hendra. Without any balance because of the waves. He can't block this attack. The referee suddenly appeared in front of him and raised a shield to stop the attack.

"Lena de Viona Thiveapia Wins!" He announced.

Lena finally won the match. She became one of the top hundreds in Outer Disciple. Well, most of its because of luck. She didn't get any opponent from the top hundreds in the stone monument from the Battle Tower. If her opponent was one of them, it might be a bit troublesome, and whether she can win or not, no one would be able to know.

Lena finally came back. She looked at Evelyn. Whether it was fate or not. She would fight with Evelyn after another two matches. Unfortunately, it was not possible. After all, tomorrow, she would need to fight the rank ninth in the ranking.

...

In the elders' place, they continued chatting. The fifth elder got disappointed when he can not see Alex's prowess. He thought he could see his weakness if Alex used his power there. Sadly, his expectation was betrayed when his opponent surrendered.

When the fight between Hendra and Lena started. The battles began to become interesting. It was true, especially for the tenth elder, Miska. After all, her element with her was a match, both of them had a water element.

"She has the same element as you, Miska. I heard that this princess was overshadowed by her own little sister. But it seems, that was not the case. Especially after you watched this fight. She is the same as her sister. One that continued to train despite their difference of talents. Even so, from my eyes, she also has a very high aptitude. Instead of that lass, Evelyn. I feel that this girl is more suitable to be your disciple." Charya said, giving her honest opinion about Lena.

Miska became pensive. She was pondering Charya's words. Her words were true. In fact, from others' points of view. Lena's aptitude was also top notch. Because of Evelyn, she usually went unnoticed. And the water element that Lena's had shown in the arena. She didn't say anything, she was still in deep thought.

The fights on the arena continued. Some of the matches were interesting, and some were not. The disciple used their strength to show their presence. Especially today, since there were five elders that were watching them. Maybe, if they got lucky, they would get in one of the elders' eyes and take them as one of their disciples.

But for the time being, none of the elders were interested in that.

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of them. She had braided brown hair. Alex didn't see the elders in their special seats. So, he didn't know she was an elder. But it was different for Evelyn, Putri, and Song Yu.

"Tenth Elder" They greeted her. Alex and Lena also followed suit and greeted her.

Miska nodded to them, she came to Lena. "You are the sixth princess from Thiveapia Kingdom, right?"

Lena nodded. She was unsure why she asked that. Miska continued, "I have seen your performance just now, and we also have the same element. Do you want to be my disciple?"

Lena was surprised. Not only her, even Song Yu, Putri, and Alex were shocked by that. Evelyn was taken aback. She remembered this person, she was the one who met her privately and wanted to be her Master. But she rejected her back then because Alex wanted to teach her about the true Seven Stars Cut. She didn't reject her, though. She only said to give her time to think it over.

Lena immediately agreed, "Please let me become your disciple."

"Good, take this token, and I will take you to move to the house on the tenth peak later. I will teach you my skills in there."

"I'm sorry Master. With all due respect, Master, I can not move from my house."

"Ho, why?" Miska didn't feel offended for that. After all, one always had circumstances. She thought she needs to know the reason first before she got offended by that.

"I am currently living in my bro... Thiveapia Kingdom third prince's house with my sister. I can't move at the moment, leaving my sister there. I'm sure Master also knows about the royal family's relation."

"En!" She nodded then said again, "How about you take your sister along with you and live in that house? the house is pretty big, so it should be fine."

"Or Evelyn can stay with us. We don't mind." Song Yu also gave her opinion.

Miska looked at Song Yu mysteriously. This Song Yu ruined her plan. She thought if she can invite Evelyn by bringing Lena to that house. Eventually, Evelyn might accept her as her Master. Two birds in one stone.

Then, everyone gazes turned to Evelyn.
