150 Tournant 5
In City Lord Mansion, Nakagawa House.
The sa as the other houses, he, Nakagawa Otoshi, holds the clan eting. Seven elders of Nakagawa House along with Nakagawa Hiina and Nakagawa Hikotaka and a few other disciples of Nakagawa House.
"What do you all think about this Alexander? Elder Su Hua appreciated him greatly. At first, I thought that he had offended him, but it seems that wasn't the case. Do we have any information about him?"
"I'm afraid, we don't have, City Lord" The First Elder said, He is just an ordinary old man that others can't differentiate his hair is Silver or White. He has a son that also participated in the tournant, but unlike the blessed Nakagawa Hiina and Hikotaka, his son, Nakagawa Yuu, only had a cultivation of 1-Star Martial Master.
"How about you Hiina? Why do you target him in the arena
"I…" Nakagawa Hiina looks down.
"Why?"
"I don't know…" Alex played him? No, she just wants to escape from her. Maybe she was riled because he insulted her brother? But she insulted him first. Or maybe she was angry because Alex fed his fox with five thousand Spirit Stones? Might be it.
"So, what do you know about him, daughter? You clash with him a few rounds, right? Do you feel anything?"
"I…don't know. When I clashed with him, I felt that he brushed all of my attacks easily."
"Ho… But you still hold back, right? I an, you didn't use your sword intent."
"I feel that even if I use my Sword Intent, I still have no chance to defeat him. And maybe…"
"What? Maybe what?" Nakagawa Otoshi started to be impatient. The presence of the unknown is the scariest. So whatever it is, he wanted the information about Alex.
"Maybe… he has a big background."
"What do you an, Daughter?" His eyebrows furrowed.
"In the waiting room, I approached him in the waiting room to observe him. He had a 1-Star Martial Master Fox as a pet. And the fox is very intelligent. And he…" she recalled when Alex fed five thousand Spirit Stones to his fox.
"He…"
"He fed his fox with Fire Spirit Pill, with perfect purity…"
"Fire Spirit Pill with perfect purity? If it was in the auction, it was sold for more than one thousand Spirit Stones, are you saying that he fed his fox with that?" He didn't have many precious pills in his life, after all, they are very expensive. Hearing Alex fed his Fox with such a precious pill, his heart was triggered.
"Father, I haven't finished my words…"
"Um, I'm sorry Daughter. The blood rushed to my head" He apologized to his daughter. The other elders gulped down. "Please continue."
"He casually fed his fox with 5 Fire Spirit Pills with Perfect Purity."
All of them gasped. If they are talking about Fire Spirit Pill, it was a dream pill for Fire Martial Master. It can improve their cultivation greatly as well as enhancing their fire. But Alex who had the most ferocious Fire, Pure Fire Elent and it had been awakened to boot. Unlike the normal Fire Martial Master who can only take one pill, his Fire won't be enhanced again, but instead, he can eat this pill a few tis to increase his cultivation swiftly. But the problem here is Alex fed his Fox with five of them casually, it was Five Thousand Spirit Stones, sohow they wanted to beco his pet…Aiya, it is wrong.
If he casually fed his fox with five Fire Spirit Pills, that ans, he can also feed that fox with a better pill later. A person who can easily throw away five Thousand Spirit Stones must be unordinary. But from the look of it, Elder Su Hua still didn't know about this along with his prowess. So what is the thing that Elder Su Hua saw inside him? Is it his Alchemist talent? What if the Alchemist who made those Fire Spirit Pills was himself? A 20 years old Rank 2 Alchemist, not only his alchemy skill is excellent but he also has his fighting prowess to boot. Soone like this must be from a Big Influence.
But he wanted to join Heavenly Sword Sect? that ans, he wasn't from the four sects. A royalty? It is most unlikely, then, what if he cos from a hidden family? Is his family very strong? From his talent, he must be a genius, there's no way they let him out without protection. But he didn't feel any his protector, what if his protector was even stronger than him? He sweatdropped. But he still has a backing of the kingdom and his daughter was also invited by the four sects, she just hasn't replied to them yet. But for this unknown Alex, he thinks it is better to form a friendly relationship rather than a hostile relationship.
"Daughter, try to befriend him tomorrow. Since it is only a misunderstanding with you. If you apologize tomorrow, then everything is fine"
"Father?"
"Father?"
The Nakagawa duo, Nakagawa Hiina and Nakagawa Hitokata were confused by the sudden decision of their father.
"Father, are you saying that Sister need to befriend with that guy? He is not qualified!" Hitokata roared.
"Shut up! This is my final decision! You don't have any voice in here. If you can erase that lecherous trait of your, you might have a say in here"
"Father! That's enough. I accept alright!" Hiina chose to step in.
Haha, what a fool. If Alex in here, he must be happy right now. He, who just ascended to this world without influence or power, others misunderstand his identity. He needs to thank Su Hua for this.
…
Back to Himura House.
Himura Takata holds his head up in the clan eting. He told the dissatisfaction of Elder Su Hua about the problem today. Of course, he didn't call Alex in this eting, instead, he called Himura Soma.
"Himura Soma, because of your act, Elder Su Hua from Mount Hua Sect dissatisfied with us, Are you going to anger a Rank 5 Alchemist? Are you going to destroy the Himura House?"
"Family Head, it is normal for a youngster to make a mistake. Since it is only a misunderstanding, Elder Su Hua must have forgiven him. Don't make a small matter like this big, or are you just make an excuse to attack us? If you have any dissatisfaction with us, please say it to us" The one who said just now is another old man with white hair, but this old man has a very long beard that reaches his stomach. If Alex is stronger than him, he might shave his beard first before killing him. He is the current Himura House First Elder, Himura Soma's Father, Himura Shunpei. Luckily he didn't go to the tournant today, if not, he will see Alex performing 'Splitting Sword' and make trouble for him.
"Hmph! Now, if anyone in the family dares to hurt him, he/she offends too. Don't bla for being impolite."
Himura Takata didn't have any strength to confront the First Elder faction directly for now since Elder Su Hua still didn't act directly. Because of Himura Soma becos the new genius of Himura House, The First Elder faction is growing too big.
…What a useless House Head.
Alex is still ignorant of how big the wave that he brings in this town just from one fight in Arena. He is currently closing his eyes while cultivating. Since the next round is one on one battle to the top. That ans, he is going to fight around seven tis, 128…64…32…16…Quarterfinal…Semifinal and Final. Since the battle for B Block is rigged, the bracket tomorrow might be rigged too. But he can only do his best tomorrow.
The next day,
Alex opened his eyes slowly after he felt Kenshin's presence coming toward him. Not long after, Kenshin went inside.
"Alex, It's ti to go"
Alex nodded. Both of them went to the arena like yesterday. But fortunately, they didn't et anyone like yesterday.
…
"Ladies and Gentlen, The second round of our beloved Tournant finally arrived. We are back here with , Sakai Michimiro.
Let us welco once again. The elders from the four sects along with the five big family heads."
*Applause*
"Let explain the rule once again. For the second round, there will be 128 participants in this tournant that will fight one by one. You won't get any opponent from the sa block. There will be a total of seven fights if you want to take the number one position. I don't want to take your precious ti. So let's start the first fight. Because the number of fights is a bit too big. We will hold 4 small arenas to speed up the process. Let's start"
Arena A: Mogami Fusamitsu vs Kushizu Katsuhisa
Arena B: Nakajima Katsumasa vs Aoyama Takauji
Arena C: Himura Soma vs Takaoka Nakasada
Arena D: Hasegawa Sadayuki vs Konishi Sadatomo
All the participants went to their respective arena. Alex observed their cultivation. Most of them are in Qi Manipulation Stage. Only Himura Soma and Kushizu Katsuhisa who have the cultivation of Martial Master Stage.
Alex watched the fight of Himura Soma but it disappoint him, His opponent imdiately surrendered. He watched the other Martial Master in the stage, his opponent dares to fight him but he didn't hold a candle to be his opponent, with only two strikes, he is down. Soon enough, all the matches have finished.
The next batch participants have arrived in the arena. All of them are Qi Manipulation Stage. Now that Alex finally observed the Qi Manipulation Stage carefully. He noticed that Even the Peak Qi Manipulation Stage might not be able to win his Teacher back in the Lower World. It is really different when soone from a lower world who polished their power completely because of the limitation of higher-level cultivation then soone from Upper World who rushed their cultivation to a higher level. He himself is the sa, in the lower world, he polished his battle skill step by step and killed many monsters. Because of that, his foundation is solid and he capable of fighting soone with a higher cultivation level. But of course, he is a bit special.
The fight continue to the third batch, fourth batch and so on. He fought soone in Qi Manipulation Stage. Kenshin fought soone in Qi Manipulation Stage too. Most of the favored one fought Qi Manipulation Stage Practitioner, only Nakagawa Hiina and Itagaki Kyousuke who are unlucky enough to fight a Martial Master. But with their strength, they defeated their opponent pretty easily.
Finally, they got into the top 64 fight. But the sa as the previous round, This round also pretty boring. There is still no big fight. Though there is so fight between Martial Master, that is still not a big deal. Even Alex who got a 1-Star Martial Master as his opponent defeat him with a few casual strikes. Alex observed the Nakagawa Duo all this ti because he feels like he almost can copy their Sword Art. He also observed the elder from Heavenly Sword Sect, Conn Kindellan, and the Mount Hua Sect, Su Hua. From their eyes, he can feel that Conn Kindellan sowhat interested in him, but unlike Su Hua, who is obsessed with obtaining him. He felt that he will let him go and Su Hua will kidnap him to Mount Hua Sect.
He needs to let him see his talent a bit. He can just perform Nakagawa House Sword Art. With that, the elder might protect him from Su Hua. Although Alex is an Alchemist, Alex only treated this job as a way to get his pocket money. So there is no way that he wanted to go to Mount Hua Sect.
Finally, at the Top 32 Fight, there is one exciting fight for Alex.
Arena B: Himura Kenshin vs Soejima Isano
Kenshin and Isano slowly entered the arena. Alex looked at Kenshin and smiled. 'This is the ti to fight your past.'
'Make her regret her decision' Alex thought. And now is still top 32, that ans, if she loses, she won't be able to enter the top ten, since according to Kenshin. The Four Sects only recruit soone in the Top Ten unless they already recruited them before the tournant Start. So if in this fight Soejima Isano loses, that ans she also loses the chance to be recruited by the Four Sects. Though She might be able to forge so connection to the inside with her body and look like those female antagonists in CN. But Alex didn't know what will happen to her.
Kenshin looked at Isano without any expression.
