Chapter 216: Alex vs Gunzo
216 Alex vs Gunzo
Evelyn looked at her sister. They were from the same mother, and she always accompanied her since childhood. She was the closest one to her. Sadly, she heard the rumor that came around the castle. Because of her talent, She unconsciously overshadowed her sister, Lena. Lena was often being told as her stepping stone later.
In this world, you need strength and talent. But, because the comparison was too big. Obviously, someone will prejudice to her sister. That someone became two, two became four, and so on. She was saddened by the fact that her existence brought disaster to her own sister that loved her so much. But, Lena said she didn"t mind all of that.
Not only that, in the royal family, although their relations.h.i.+p was neutral. Each of them was surely targeted each other for the throne. And she, as the one, who was a genius among genius. Obviously was targeted too. In this world, marrying another family member was normal to increase their blood purity as well as their talent.
That"s why Lena asked her to come with her to Heavenly Sword Sect. The third prince can"t do something to her since the only one who was in here was him. If something happened to Evelyn, he would be the first suspect. That"s why, for the time being, they were safe. But the situation would be different if they were separated.
If the naive Evelyn were in the same house with the third prince alone, it would be too late if anything happened to her. The third prince will have many moves that he can use for her. If they were separated now, she can"t imagine what will happen.
Evelyn obviously knew about that too. Even if she was naive. At least, she can understand the situation she was in. She knew that her sister couldn"t do that because of her. Even though her sister was a bit aggressive toward other people, it was for her sake.
But, Evelyn also knew. If they were always together, her sister would always be judged by other people. That was something she didn"t want. She wanted her sister, Lena, also grabbed her dream. If Evelyn also came with her to that house. Lena will always be on a circle. Evelyn wanted her to break free from that circle and became a powerhouse.
Evelyn looked at Lena, she smiled. She turned to Song Yu, "Can Evelyn come to Big Sister Song Yu"s house? I can pay with Spirit Stones."
"Haha, don"t mind about the Spirit Stones. You can come to my house. I would gladly accept you. It is also easier if you want Alex to teach you."
"No, I would refuse that for the moment. I have some plan to do for a few months, so I asked you not to disturb me after this tournament" Alex said his stance.
Song Yu was surprised, but knowing his ident.i.ty as an Alchemist, she nodded. "Well, that"s too bad. Then, if Lena didn"t mind for Evelyn to stay at my house. Then, that"s fine."
Lena was a bit reluctant about it. Although Evelyn also had stayed in Alex"s house for a few months, she was still unsure about it. Evelyn then came to her as she smiled. "Elder Sister, I know you care about me very much. But just like you, I also care about Elder Sister. I also want to see you become a powerhouse that I won"t lose to. That"s why I will stay in Big Sister Song Yu"s house for the time being. Please pursue your dream, I know you want to be a powerhouse that can decide your own fate. So, please be selfish. Evelyn has grown up now"
Lena looked at her silently, she didn"t know why but she wanted to let out tears at this moment. She held back this feeling as she smiled at her. "I won"t lose to you."
Alex sighed mysteriously, he also had his own thinking. But at this moment, he can"t help but smile.
Lena then turned to Miska, "That"s the situation, Master. I hope that Master didn"t mind about that."
"Sure, be ready for my training after the tournament is over."
"Yes" Lena thanked her once more. Then, Miska finally went back to her seat and enjoyed the fights again.
Lena came to Song Yu, "I apologize to Senior Sister Song Yu. Evelyn might make a problem for you. If Senior Sister didn"t mind, please have this Spirit Stones."
"You are underestimating me too much. I don"t need those Spirit Stones. Anyway, the house is pretty big and living there alone is pretty lonely, you know. So, I don"t mind about a bit of company. Even Putri agrees with me." Song Yu said, and Putri nodded her head.
Not long after, Alex was called.
"Rank 1st, Alexander Sirius versus Rank 9th, Gunzo Rockman."
The cheers turned to an uproar. This was the most exciting match today. They had waited for too long for this match. The mysterious rookie and the only body cultivator in the top ten rankings.
Alex and Gunzo came to the stage. Alex looked at his opponent. A spiky orange hair, fierce looking eyes, and that taekwondo suit. It seems that he was very eager to fight Alex. "Hehe, you are going to be my opponent. Even though we are a fellow body cultivator. I will beat you today."
Alex wasn"t bothered by his talk. Alex glanced at the referee.
"Match Starts!"
Gunzo suddenly came forward as he tried to punch Alex with raw strength. Alex also threw a fist against his fist.
Both of their fists collided. And the result was astounding. Gunzo was pushed back by Alex"s fist. And their difference was clearly visible.
Gunzo didn"t use his Spiritual Energy to enhance his body, so he had around 280 bulls strength. Obviously, it can"t stand in front of Alex"s 400 bulls strength.
Alex immediately sent a kick after he pushed Gunzo back. Gunzo used his hand to guard his body. Alex blew him away to the wall. Fortunately, he was a Body Cultivator. If not, there might be some injury.
...
In the special seat, the fifth elder stood up, "What!"
"Nelson, just relax a bit. Your disciple will be defeated sooner or later. So, you can just enjoy the fight, rather than watch the match like that."
Everyone rolled their eyes. They cursed Charya in their mind.
Nelson snorted. "I won"t put my hand in there as long as he is not ruthless in the arena."
"Don"t worry, he knows what to do" Charya only laughed at that.
Nelson took a deep breath. Talking with Charya might raise his blood pressure. It was even more taxing than watching the fight. He calmed down and watched the match silently.
...
Back to the arena. After cras.h.i.+ng to the wall, surprisingly, Gunzo was not injured. But, Gunzo had used his Spiritual Energy just to block that kick. If not, he might not escape unscathed from that kick. The difference of 120 bulls was huge.
Gunzo bounced back from the wall. He looked at Alex while laughing, "Haha, this is it. This is the fight that I am waiting for."
Suddenly from his fist, gushed out a dreadful aura. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes, and he saw the color of an Intent. He knew about it because his Sword Intent and his Spear Intent had the same color. So, he thought it was the same for the other intents. Alex took out his sword.
"Just throw that sword. For a body cultivator, we don"t need a sword."
Alex twitched his eyebrows. His plan amazingly went well. Since one of the top Outer Disciples said that. The others also might know about him as a body cultivator. As long as they misunderstood his power, he will have some chances to exploit them. Judging from the situation, he might need to utilize it now. Although it was a shame that he couldn"t hide it a bit more, he still needs to use it now.
Fighting a disciple that had an intent was a bit troublesome. If he didn"t take it seriously, he might lose. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes as Gunzo took out his knuckle. Gunzo charged at him again with his fist full of "Fist Intent". Punch after punch came to Alex.
Alex dodged it again and again with his amazing footwork. Gunzo also didn"t lose in that aspect. He can follow Alex"s movement perfectly. Suddenly Alex disappeared.
Gunzo immediately turned around and put crossed his hand in front of him. Alex suddenly appeared in that direction, and his foot had almost reached his hands.
"Steel Body!"
Gunzo"s body suddenly became steel. Even though there was no change in his skin color. Alex can feel the hardness in it. Gunzo"s element turned out to be Metal Element. Alex"s kick bounced back.
Gunzo immediately threw a punch at him, of course, with a Fist Intent. Even though Alex"s foot was still in the air, He still had his sword. He covered his sword with his Sword Intent, he also used his Spiritual Energy, and his strength became 500 bulls strength.
His sword collided with Gunzo"s knuckle, Gunzo used his all to punch Alex"s 500 bulls strength. His Steel Body also increased his strength. Along with his Fist Intent, their power was equal. Alex didn"t stop there.
"Immovable Step"
Suddenly, there was a surge of strength from Alex. With his "Immovable Step". Even though he can"t move at the moment, his power was doubled. This swing held a thousand bulls strength, in other words, one dragon strength.
Like a baseball, Alex"s sword was like a bat as Alex swung it. He blew Gunzo away. He didn"t stop there. Swinging his sword once again, A sword wave appeared from his sword.
"Sanguin Sword Art. Fifteenth Slash"
The sword wave was chasing at Gunzo. When he crashed to the wall, Gunzo immediately activated his "Steel Body" once again. But because he was a bit unprepared for it.
"Boom!"
The smoke raised the curtain. When everyone finally able to see what happened. In Gunzo"s hands, there was a swallow cut wound. Alex didn"t use his Sword Intent on this attack. It would be too surprising for others if he used that. But his sword intent was clearly present in that clash just now.
"He has a Sword Intent."
"So, that means he is not a Body Cultivator?"
"Or he has that much strength despite using a sword?"
"d.a.m.n, he is more monstrous than I imagined."
"Kya! So Strong"
"Good Luck, my prince!"
Gunzo raised once again. This time he was even more fired up. Alex twitched his eyebrows. Gunzo laughed loudly. "This is really good. come, as expected of my opponent."
Alex felt that he needs to finish the match soon. He can"t be bothered by this person.
"You are nothing like the rumor. You are not a coward, a weak, a cheater. Your strength is a real deal" Gunzo said.
"Do you know who spread the rumor?" Alex asked without an expression.
"Yeah, I know. If you want to know, you need to beat me first." Gunzo raised his fist. A shadow appeared behind his back. It shaped like Gunzo but bigger. It rose from the ground, making a huge doll behind Gunzo. The doll was only a half body, it closed to Gunzo"s top body, his stomach to his head. Its height was around ten meters.
"Steel Authority. This is my fighting doll. It can produce 700 bulls strength. So prepare yourself." Gunzo said as he charged at Alex again. The fighting doll also followed him like it was his shadow. It had the same speed as him.
"Fleeting Step"
"That is Gunzo"s trump card. Troublesome move. Let"s see how that "Alexander" can fight this one. What do you think, Tasha Lockheart?" Ign.a.z.io Benitez said. He was watching from the arena too.
"He still hasn"t used his all" Tasha only said that. Ign.a.z.io frowned.
A fist mark appeared here and there in the arena. Alex still dodged Gunzo"s attack completely. And finally, Alex made a counterattack.
"Flash Step"
With a single step, Alex closed his distance with Gunzo. He tried to slash him with his sword. Suddenly, the giant doll"s hand appeared on his front. Its two arms were protecting Gunzo from his slash. And surprisingly, this doll was only an extension of Gunzo"s body. It was proved when Alex"s Sword Intent bounced back when it met the arms. Alex can see clearly the presence of Fist Intent. If the body was not an extension of his body, he should be unable to cover it with Intent. After all, he was not at the level where he can send an Intent flying.
The arms suddenly opened up and threw Alex to the air. The fist suddenly came toward him. Alex looked at it mysteriously.
