Chapter 301 Ch 301: Alex's Easy Victory
Chapter 301 Ch 301: Alex's Easy Victory
From the start of the battle to now, Alex had been dodging. He did occasionally attack once or twice, which were always been pushed back by Patric.
The first round of battles was nearing its end.
Mobish was the first to win, defeating his enemy in one move. And then others also started winning the battle.
Arfan had already comprehended the true meaning of the movement skill he was using. He let his enemy attack first. After withstanding the first strike, he caught the chance when his enemy was not guarding against him and struck out. And just like that, he won the battle.
Then came Sabine and Hassan, who also won.
Waiting until this battle was nearing its end, Alex's footsteps hurried as if he had made a mistake. He punched out and "coincidently" hit Patric's neck, causing Patric to start coughing. When Alex saw this, he hurriedly looked around, only to find himself and Patric standing at the corner of the stage. Thus, he took advantage of the opportunity and pushed Patric out of the stage and got a narrow victory.
Everyone was stunned when they witnessed this scene. In their eyes, Alex was weaker than Patric and only won the battle because of luck. They thought Patric's luck was bad, he not only lost his guard against Alex due to a small "accident" that caused Alex to hit his neck but he was also pushed out of the stage by Alex when he was unguarded.
In their eyes, Alex obtained an unworthy victory.
"Damn it. How can that be? What the fuck kind of luck is this?" Patric scolded in irritation. He had always been taking the initiative to attack, but suddenly he lost in one move.
The referee soon came back to his senses and announced Alex the victor. No matter if it was his own strength or luck, no one could deny the fact that Alex did win this battle.
Unknown to everyone, a rare smile appeared on Henry's face as he nodded silently in satisfaction. It was not only him, but Great Elder was also smiling and there seemed to be admiration in his eyes as he looked at Alex.
And coincidently, Serah saw the two of them smiling. She could not help but walk to them and asked: "Brother Henry, why are you and Great Elder smiling like that? It is clear that that person won the battle only because of luck. If not, he would have definitely lost the battle!"
"Do you really he won the battle because of luck?" Henry raised his brows and asked with the same smile on his face.
"Is that not so?" Serah was startled and responded.
Henry shook his head. He then spoke in a low voice: "Let me tell you a secret. That person, Alex White, is an Extreme-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior."
He only said this much and stopped talking. In his eyes, he already explained everything by telling Serah the above words.
Serah was taken aback when she heard Henry's words. Then she suddenly understood everything. She took a deep look at Alex and muttered in a low voice: "It turned he played with everyone else. For some reason, I'm unable to see his cultivation base. In fact, it should be the same for everyone else. He must have practiced some kind of concealment technique and taken advantage of this fact to make everyone else underestimate him. This way, in the future battles on the stage, no one will take him seriously, and they would have to pay the price for their underestimation!"
.....
The first round of battles ended. Of about a thousand participants, less than half remained. A moment later, another round began.
"Bang!"
Mobish punched out a disciple in green. He would definitely win, for he was a Perfection-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, accompanied with the Mid-Grade Celestial Rank combat technique.
He again won easily.
Then it was James' turn to fight.
"Boom!"
James also punched back another person.
In this inner competition, these two were the most eye-catching. If nothing unexpected happened, then the first place should be one of them.
So far, there had been a higher possibility that the first place would be Mobish and the second place would belong to James.
So far, James had performed to be extremely calmly. When he saw Mobish, who had a face full of provocation, was also abnormally calm.
Arfan used his movement skill to easily achieve victory, and so did Sabine.
After fighting for a long time, Alex had a narrow victory again.
It was not the time to reveal his true strength now.
The third round of battles began. This time, there were only two hundred or so people left.
The strong won a landslide victory again while Alex continued to win his narrow victory.
"Boo!"
Just after Alex won his narrow victory again in the third round and then the fourth round, the crowd made catcalls. In their opinion, Alex's strength was really average. Every time he won, it was because his enemies were careless, allowing him to grab the chances.
The catcalls from the crowd grew louder. This round still went on amidst boos and boos, until only twenty people remained.
As the night drew in, it was already very late.
"Today's Competition will pause here and continue tomorrow." The Great Elder stood up on the high platform and put an end to today's battles.
Some outer sect disciples returned dejectedly. As for Alex and the others, who had just passed the examination, from today onwards, they would become inner sect disciples and enjoy the treatment of the inner sect.
Serah had also left, but she remembered Alex. He had left a deep impression on her. After being pointed out by Henry, she had realized the distinction of Alex.
However, by now, other than Serah, many of the inner sect disciples had also found that Alex was not ordinary.
Only the numerous outer sect disciples who could not see through the fact kept booing.
Though he was not that ordinary, no one cared about him because there were two extremely outstanding people today. One was Mobish, and the other was James.
Everyone knew about Mobish was the younger brother of Elmer, a core disciple. It was reasonable for him to possess a Mid-Grade Celestial Rank combat technique. However, James was totally a stranger. No one knew his background, but he also had a Mid-Grade Celestial Rank combat technique and even a movement skill.
When they were attending the competition on the day, the residences of Alex and the rest had already been arranged.
In the room, there were a few sets of clothes, as well as a white jade token. On one side, it said Nine Star Mountain Sect, and on the other, it was Alex's name and a special sign that only belonged to the Fourth Mountain Peak.
From then on, Alex was an inner sect disciple.
On the morning of the second day, the golden sunlight shined upon the square. The square was put on a golden color.
The result of the competition would turn out today. And the person who could become a core disciple would also be announced today.
Early in the morning, a lot of people had gathered here. Besides the many outer sect disciples, a lot of inner sects disciples had also come for they wanted to see who was that lucky dog today.
At the same time, there were also some inner sect disciples who made a bet with contribution points.
The disciples who had been dressed in green yesterday were now dressed in white. Even Alex was dressed in white currently. The white dress was the symbol of the inner sect.
The first to arrive here was Mobish. He looked energetic in white clothing. As soon as he appeared, many people cheered for him.
Of course, most of them were female disciples.
After that was James. Through yesterday's battles, he had accumulated a lot of popularity as well, and some people were cheering for him, too.
Soon after, it was Arfan. Everyone ignored him because of his small eyes and his average appearance.
After Arfan was Alex. Alex looked handsome in the white dress code, but he didn't earn much popularity and there were no cheers.
Just as he appeared, the square resounded with deafening boos.
"It's him, Alex White, the guy who got the God-damn luck."
"That's him!"
The booing was like the waves of the ocean, one after another, unceasing and they didn't seem to stop.
"It seems that you are much more miserable than me." Arfan turned his head and joked.
Alex shrugged unceremoniously. He did not care about the booing at all. Because today he was going to show his strongest strength and compete for first place.
At first, he only participated in this competition because he wanted to come in the eyes of Henry. But now, he wanted to become the core disciple himself. This way, he could obtain much more information on his own by relying on his status as a core disciple of the Nine Star Mountain Sect.
At that time, he no longer has to rely on Henry.
