Chapter 55 Final Battle, Sword Tower Cleared!
*****************ΒΆΒΆ*****************
"What did you just say?"
"A new disciple has broken the record and went past the 25th floor!"
"How is that possible?" The other disciple was shocked and had a hard time believing what he had just heard.
"What level did this new disciple reach?"
"I don't know, he was still in the tower when I left. But before coming here he was already on the 29th floor."
"That much?"
"Yes."
"This is bad. Why did this have to happen just when the Young Master is in closed-door cultivation and is about to break through." The disciple in purple robe said to himself.
He was a core disciple and a follower of the illegitimate son of the Vice Sect Leader who set the previous record on the sword tower.
"It appears this matter will be temporarily left for us to handle. We can not let this affect the Young Master's status."
"We will be having a secret meeting at the usual location to decide on what to do."
The inner disciple nodded.
"In the meantime let us go to the Sword Tower and let me see who this genius is."
``````````
Arthur had advanced to the 33rd floor and waited for his opponent.
Soon a sword puppet walked out from the most and took a battle stance.
'Just one this time?'
'But this one is at the second stage of the Martial Origin Realm.'
Just as Arthur wanted to attack, a circle of symbols appeared on the floor around the sword puppet and rapidly expanded and covered the entire battle ring.
'What the?!'
Before Arthur could make sense of what was going on, great pressure bore down on him.
The sword puppet was using its cultivation which was two major realms above Arthur's to restrict him a bit.
At the same time, the puppet released its sword intent.
"That's Peak Sword Intent at the tenth rank!"
Arthur sensed that the puppet was about to release a powerful attack and refused to give it a chance.
So he attacked first!
Just like that, the final battle for the Sword Tower began.
In less than ten breaths of time, Arthur had exchanged over a hundred moves with the puppet and was not able to land one hit.
The sword of the puppet was covered in spirit essence energy that enhanced its sharpness.
So Arthur had to be extra careful as he could tell that he might lose in an instant if that sword landed on him.
This time, Arthur was using two swords instead of one, and just as he guessed, he was able to dual-wield without any problem.
He was ambidextrous, and this was a talent Arthur had decided to take full advantage of.
*Shing!*
The formation circle that the puppet formed around them glowed suddenly and Arthur's strength became suppressed.
"Wha-?!"
*Bang!*
Arthur barely managed to block the attack of the puppet and he got sent flying.
Before he could land properly and regain his footing, the puppet sent an energy attack at him.
*Slash!*
Arthur got hit and his clothes were half destroyed and a long gash appeared on his chest causing him to bleed profusely.
"Argh!"
'I got careless...and bit cocky,' Arthur said to himself.
Even though this was an illusion the pain felt all too real to Arthur that he even wondered if having such an injury would be this painful in real life.
Deciding to not give the puppet another chance, Arthur released his spirit power at full force and for the first time, he used it for something other than enhancing his perception.
'Two can play this game!'
Arthur used his spirit power to bring down pressure on the puppet which slowed it down a bit. After that, he released his speed and strength intent to the max.
'Time to end this.'
"Peak Level Speed Intent...Peak Level Strength Intent...and..."
"Peak Level Wind Intent!"
Wind surrounded Arthur making him feel as light as a feather as it combined with his speed boost from the peak level speed intent.
*Swoosh!*
Arthur appeared behind the sword puppet in an instant.
While David and Sophia were shocked at what just happened, an X mark appeared on the body of the puppet and it fell to the ground dismembered.
"He also comprehended Wind Intent?"
"I see, and from the looks of things it has reached the tenth rank too."
Arthur had surprised these two elders so many times that they lost count.
Outside the tower, the number being displayed flickered a little before disappearing.
"What happened, did he get defeated on the 33rd floor?"
Many were confused and wanted to know what was going on.
*Shring!*
Just then a sword howl was heard and the entire tower glowed a bit before shooting a light pillar into the air.
No one knew, but that light pillar had sent a message to a realm far, far, away.
"A pillar of light? This means he passed!" An elder spoke at this time.
"He passed?"
"So this signifies that someone had cleared all floors of the tower."
The crowd went silent for a moment as the whole event replayed in their mind as understood what this meant.
"We have a Seven-Star Battle Genius!"
"Yeah!"
Many disciples cheered on and were happy for Arthur. Even the elders smiled in glee.
Luke smiled as though he had expected no less from his master.
'I knew he could do it.'
Balor felt like Arthur is someone he can look up to.
'A true genius,' he thought.
A sliver of a smile appeared on Zaith's face for a second.
'Invincible...you do deserve that name.'
While many rejoiced at Arthur's success, some frowned instead.
The Vice Sect Leader looked at the tower with a cold expression before flying inside.
Arriving within the hall, he saw David and Sophia staring at a screen that was now covered by mist.
The two elders heard footsteps and turned around to see the Vice Sect Leader.
Immediately their body tensed up and they hurried to bow and greet him.
"We greet the Vice Sect Leader!" They said in unison.
The Vice Sect Leader nodded and said, "Report all you have seen."
