Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 48 Clearing The 25th Floor!

*****************¶¶*****************

"It's the 25th floor! Someone has reached the 25th floor and it is the fastest clear in history!"

Many exclamations arose amongst the disciples outside the tower, and even the Elders were excited.

"This is unprecedented. A great genius has come to our sect. Quick send word to the higher-ups!"

They brought out Artifacts that could send messages over a long distance and contacted the upper echelons of the sect.

The disciples also discussed what was happening before their eyes.

"His record has been broken. I never saw this coming!"

"True, who would have expected it? After all, it has been no more than five years since the now previous record was set and one was expecting another monstrous genius in the next hundred years."

"Guys don't you forget that 'he' isn't one to take this lying down."

"You're right, that fellow is extremely prideful. I just wonder how things will turn out."

The disciple who set the previous record had a very powerful background in the sect. And even his strength was something no other disciple in the sect could match even though there were some with greater cultivation than him.

"You guys are getting worried? As for me, I am rather excited about the prospect of a clash between two great geniuses. The Heavenly Sword Sect had been too calm lately in my opinion."

"That's right."

Soon a sound of flying was heard as multipls figures arrived and stood in the air above the crowd. They were the Elders of the sect with a higher rank.

There was a hierarchy among the elders. The sect had Outer-Court Elders, Inner-Court Elders, Senior Elders, and Great Elders.

Above the Great Elders were the sect's guardian elders, who were called the Left Guardian Elder and the Right Guardian Elder.

And overseeing these two elders was the Supreme Guardian Elder, whose authority was only below the Sect Leader, and above that of the Vice-Sect Leader.

But by tradition, he does not participate in the decision-making of the sect, and his main purpose is as his title implies, to protect the sect.

Although there are rumors that he was more powerful than the sect leader, but those are just rumors as one can only know the truth if they battled.

"Look, even the Senior Elders have arrived!" A disciple shouted.

The Senior Elders of the sect were rarely seen as they were mostly in seclusion. Matters of the sect were managed by those ranked below them so that they could focus more on their cultivation.

----------

David and Sophia had their gazes focused on Arthur's footage.

"Do you think he can get past this floor and reach the 26th?" Sophia has a serious expression on her face.

"From what we have seen so far, he should be able to. The Sword Puppet will be using sword intent from now on and its overall strength is equivalent to an elite Gold Core Realm Cultivator of the 8th rank," David replied.

"Hmm, he should be using his trump cards now just like the others..."

...

Arthur stood on the 25th floor with a slightly serious expression on his face.

Opposite him stood a Sword Puppet with shiny silver amour and a dangerous aura surrounding it.

'Sword Intent!'

Arthur knew what that aura was.

'Sword Intent at the first rank.'

'Hmmm, the sword techniques used by the sword puppets are already very deadly. Now that sword intent is added unto it, I will have to get serious.'

Arthur decided to reveal some of his strength. He was not yet tired in any way as compared to the others.

He had not expended much energy, and neither had he used the power of any of the Intents that he had comprehended.

"I don't want to expose the elemental intents that I have comprehended so I will have to make do with the others...'

Others...

Arthur had comprehended other intents aside from the ten elemental type intents that he had comprehended with the help of his cultivation technique.

The Sword Intent was just one of them.

There were two others.

Arthur took a deep breath and activate two powers from within him. An aura different from that of Sword Intent and more subtle was stirred up in him.

These intents were more geared to his physical body than the surroundings, unlike the others.

'Strenght and Speed,' Arthur moved his body with that thought and attacked.

His speed was swift and the sword puppet was barely able to swing its sword to deflect Arthur's attack.

*Bang!*

Nevertheless, it got sent flying to the other end of the battle ring, and its landing caused cracks to appear on the floor.

"What was that? Is that his trump card?" David was perplexed.

He did not see Arthur cast any special technique and his speed and strength increased exponentially.

"Don't tell me that he was holding back his strength all these while?" He asked no one in particular.

"That should not be the case David, or else it would be too absurd no?" Sophia felt it could not be so.

"I agree, the implications of that would mean that a battle power of five stars is easily achieved by this fellow...that's crazy..."

They continued watching but this time, there was anticipation in their eyes.

Arthur keeps on attacking the Sword Puppet with blinding speed in such a manner that the puppet could on be on the defensive.

*clank!*

Arthur manage to disarm the puppet and grabbed its head before it could evade, then he raised it up and with great strength smashed it on the floor.

*Boom!*

With that, this floor was cleared and Arthur was sent to the next floor.

David; "..."

Sophia; "...."

"Sophia, isn't the test supposed to get harder with each floor?" David called Sophia by her name.

Sophia who would normally react in an unfriendly manner to that acted like she didn't hear it.

"It should be..."

"Then why does it seem that he is clearing the floors faster than before?"

"If you ask me that, who will I ask then?"

Outside the number displayed by the Sword Tower changed and a number that had never been witnessed since the sect was established was revealed to the shocked gazes of the crowd.

[ 26 ]

"!!!"
