"Take your places!" The referee screamed.
When they heard this, Han Ping and Alex took their respective places. Alex already knew the rules from Anna. They could use any weapon they wanted. Although killing was forbidden, as long as they payed 100 Spiritual Stones, they could avoid all punishment.
Han Ping took out a set of daggers while Alex took out a normal sword. When the former saw this, he immediately sneered. He thought that the person in front of him was making fun of him. When he thought about it, his anger rose. He then pointed at Alex once more and yelled at him.
"I know that isn't your real sword! Are you looking down on me? Take out your real sword!"
Everyone who was watching turned their eyes to Alex. Feeling the eyes of many people on him, Alex sighed and he looked at Han Ping. "Do you really want me to do that? I am afraid that you will suffer immensely."
"Just take it out!" Han Ping screamed as his anger rose exponentially.
Alex shrugged his shoulders and put the normal sword into his inventory. He then extended out his hand and materialized his soul sword.
The sword had a blue-purple aura coming out of it. Alex's soul sword could compare to a Tier-5 Weapon because of his high soul power. The reason he never used a real sword was because he couldn't find a sword that could match up to his soul sword.
Everyone could sense massive amounts of oppression from Alex's sword. Some of them even stood up with eyes shining with amazement. That sword should be an equal or higher tier than a Tier-4 Sword.
"Begin!"
Seeing that both of the participants were ready, the referee gave them the signal to begin fighting.
Han Ping rushed towards Alex with all his speed. Alex just stayed there. Seeing his actions everyone thought he was scared but his next actions left them dumbfounded.
Alex released a his sword intent. The intent had a 100 meter radius suffocating everyone. They felt as if they had a sword pressed against their necks.
Han Ping, who felt this, panicked and rushed. When he was 2 meters away from Alex. He threw his daggers at high speed while yelling the name of his Technique.
{Dark Dagger Art: Piercing Shadow Throw}
Alex then used his sword technique, 'Flawless Divine Sword Manual'. He didn't scream its name because it's just embarrassing. Why would you scream the name of your techniques to your enemy?
He deflected the daggers then flowing his motions perfectly to attack Han Ping. The daggers couldn't handle the power of Alex's sword and they shattered.
The Flawless Divine Sword Manual, like its name, has no flaws. Flawless Defense, Flawless Attack and Unimaginable Speed. With all of these aspects integrated into one, a sword Technique is unbeatable.
Alex used the Omnipresent Strikes or the same move as the Skill.
*Boom*
Han Ping was sent flying across the room. The place where he landed created a huge crater in the ground. In addition, since Alex used his soul sword, Han Ping's injury was not only physical but his Soul was also hurt. He was twitching on the ground.
Souls injuries aren't easy to repair. Obviously this condition didn't really affect Alex as he had the 'Soul Recovery' skill.
Silence. No one talked. The outcome of the battle was too much. The gap between Alex and Han Ping were like Heaven and Earth. Most of them also knew that Sword Intent was extremely hard to attain as one had to have an extensive knowledge of the way of the sword.
Kale was pale. He was glad that he sent someone and didn't fight. If he had faught, he would have probably ended in a much worse state than Han Ping. He looked at Alex with a look of fear. This guy's strength was unfathomable. He couldn't even compare.
Alex's sword then dissapeared. He walked to back to the table where Anna was waiting. He sat down and started talking as if nothing happened. Although Anna was shocked, she quickly regained her calm. She couldn't help but wonder what was Alex's actual strength. She knew that Alex held back quite a lot but seeing that Alex didn't want to talk about it, she didn't pry.
The next hour consisted of many people challenging others and fighting. No one wanted to fight Alex as they already saw his strength. They didn't want to end up like Han Ping who had become an idiot in the corner of the room.
The host came on stage once again and announced the next event which was dancing, music and singing.
