A powerful and steady aura was released from Arthur's body and it did not lose out to Gregor's earlier display and might even seem superior.
This alone showed how sturdy Arthur's foundation was. It was not shaky even with the fast pace his cultivation increased and this was because of his Dao Creation Physique and his recently gained Dao Devouring Physique.
With both of them superimposed, Arthur doubts he would ever face the problem of having an unsteady foundation for improving his cultivation too fast.
At most, he would slow down a bit to fully master his strength and comprehend the Dao within each realm fully, before progressing again.
When the spectators saw Arthur's cultivation realm they revealed looks of astonishment and they all assumed that Arthur had been hiding his real strength all along.
Suddenly a few people recalled that he cleared the Sword Tower and the shock they felt became more intense.
'He cleared the Sword Tower at the Grand Martial Realm on his first try!'
At this point, no one dared look down on Arthur anymore.
Even the other top ten ranked disciples who just recently showed up to watch a show felt a bit of danger from Arthur's presence.
Meanwhile, Gregor's aura was still rising after releasing his martial spirit. He smiled at the rush of power coursing through his body.
"Release your martial spirit and let us have a true battle!" He spoke in an attempt to sound valiant.
Arthur shook his head, "You are not worthy," was all he said.
And of course, this comment of him angered his opponent, especially when he continued to stand nonchalantly without taking a fighting stance.
"How dare you look down on me!"
Gregor both palms together and sent them forward releasing a lightning eagle-shaped essence energy attack.
"Lightning Eagle!"
Immediately after he did that, he took out a halberd and disappeared with a movement technique while creating six after images which moved in unison to attack Arthur as a follow-up combo with the Lightning Eagle move.
Gregor's speed this time was more than five times greater than before, and he was confident of his win.
Arthur looked at this with the same calm expression and stretched forth his hand.
"I guess I need to show you why I am called...Invincible."
A terrifying intent surround Arthur who placed one hand behind his back and in states a sword with two fingers of his outstretched hand.
"What?!... That is..." The elder widened his eyes the instant he laid eyes on Arthur's fingers.
He had his guess but he dared not conclude as that would be too shocking, so he decided to wait and see.
The sword-like aura coming from Arthur filled the arena and many weaker core disciples did not dare to focus their eyes on his fingers as they felt that if they did they would immediately go blind.
"Disperse!"
Arthur spoke in a dignified voice and an invisible power struck the Lightning Eagle and also one of the six figures.
"Argh!"
A scream echoed in the arena as Arthur had accurately pinpointed which of the figures was the real Gregor.
The force of the attack shot him all the way to the end of the ring until he violently collided with an invisible barrier.
*Boom!*
*Thud!*
A miserable-looking figure landed on the ring while screaming.
"I quit! I quit!" Gregor screamed in agony.
Arthur's attack was still wreaking havoc in his body and he needed to immediately take care of it else if it penetrates his Dantian he would be done for as he would end up a cripple.
Ironically, Gregor had planned to humiliate Arthur before ruthlessly crippling him on the spot.
Although this was against the rules of the sect and attracts heavy punishment he had a powerful backer so he could bypass these rules easily unlike most disciples.
But never imagine that he would be the one to bear the risk of becoming crippled.
The elder saw this and immediately arrived at the ring and announced the winner.
"Invincible wins! As per the rules, he is now the 9th Core Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
The elder waved his hand and the identity token on Arthur's waist flew to his palm. And then he tapped it a few times and its color changed to violet which was the color of the Core Disciple's robe.
Also, the writing '9th' appeared on one side of the token. After which he sent it back to Arthur.
*swoosh!*
Arthur caught it and gracefully placed it on his waist.
The elder was about to give further instructions to Arthur concerning his induction to becoming a core disciple when a cry of fear was heard.
"What the hell is this?!"
"It's not working my dantian is getting damaged! Elder Brother help!" Gregor cried out in panic.
Luckily for him, a figure floated on a sword and arrived at his side. The figure was that of a handsome-looking man with a sharp gaze akin to a deadly sword.
He was dressed in golden martial robes with uniquely embroidered symbols.
This was Gregor's elder brother who was an Elite Disciple who had reached the Martial King Realm, Startell Knight.
As soon as he appeared, gasps of surprise and anticipation were expressed by many.
The young man quickly placed his hand on Gregor's abdomen.
He originally had an indifferent expression on his face, but as he tried to expel the destructive force of Arthur's sword intent, his expression became that of surprise which he quickly hid.
"Hmph! Measly trick, scatter!"
*Cough! Cough!*
Gregor immediately vomited two mouthfuls of blood and lay weakly on the floor.
Startell ignored his brother after that and turned to face Arthur with a scrutinizing look.
Meanwhile, a few before came and hurriedly took Gregor away for further treatment. The internal injuries he had received would take a long to recover from, even more, so the damage to his 'heart'.
"Peak Level Sword Intent...heh, you have hidden your real strength very well...Invincible."
Meanwhile, Arthur was thinking;
'Best one and the stronger villain comes...typical cultivation world.'
'Hmmm, is this a sign?'
'I'm I the Protagonist of this world?'
