The Flaming Lion was killed by Alex in just one attack. Alex himself was surprised, for he had never imagined killing the Flaming Lion in just one attack. Of course, most of the credit goes to the young man who was now unconscious. It was him who badly injured the Flaming Lion in the first place. As for Alex, he just took advantage of the fact that the Flaming Lion was too injured and had let down its guard after making the young man in white fall unconscious.
The middle-aged man was also shocked. He had never seen a young man at the Golden Core Stage comprehending the Sword Intent. However, the young man in front of him had actually comprehended the Sword Intent and it was even 5%. It has to be known that it is very difficult for even an Origin Sea Stage powerhouse to comprehend 5% of Sword Intent.
What is more, he could see that Alex's foundation was simply too strong, to the point where he can't see through Alex's true strength.
"You... What is your name?"
The middle-aged man looked at Alex and asked. He had never expected to see a young man like Alex appearing in the Wasteland. He didn't know about other continents, but on the Eastern Continent, he was sure that there is no one like Alex.
Now, he wanted to pull Alex and bring him back to the place where he belong.
He was the person from the Star Seeking Tower. He was also the person who'll oversee the competition two days later.
Alex had already sensed that the man in front of him was a Cyrstal Transformation Stage martial warrior. He had also guessed the identity of the middle-aged man in his heart.
"Alex... Alex White!"
"Hmm... Alex, where are you from?"
"I'm an inner court disciple of the Floating Cloud Academy."
"Floating Cloud Academy, not bad! Do you know about the competition being held in two days?"
"I know and I'm also participating in that competition!"
"That's good. Since you are planning to participate in the competition being held in two days, you shouldn't stay here. Go back!"
The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Alex was also participating in the competition. With Alex's strength, the middle-aged man had no doubt that he can rank in the top 100. So, he didn't try to recruit Alex directly. He just smiled and told Alex to go back, causing Alex to frown.
This middle-aged man and the young man seem to be doing something here. He didn't know what they are doing. Since the middle-aged man was telling him to go back, he had to. After all, he was not a match for the middle-aged man.
But before that...

Skills: Sky Cutting Sword Slash, Iron Mountain Fist, Sky Dashing Steps, Golden Earth Armour,...
Special Physique: None.
Bloodline: None.
Weapon: Star Iron Hammer.
Other Treasure: Flying Ship (Spirit Grade Treasure).]
Alex's eyes lit up seeing the treasures on Cleo's attribute panel. Well, there was only one thing that made Alex's eyes light up. It was the Flying Ship. This Flying Ship was a Spirit Grade Treasure so duplicating this treasure won't consume many energy points.
Alex had already guessed that this Flying Ship must be the one that can fly through the Valley Of Death. He tried duplicating it but duplication failed because he didn't have enough Energy Points.
Alex had already decided to show his everything in the competition and earn huge numbers of Energy Points. At that time, he could duplicate the Flying Ship.
For now, after saying goodbye to Cleo, Alex left and returned to the Floating Cloud Academy.
.....
Two days later, many Inner Court disciples gathered at a huge plaza. These disciples were the ones who had participated in the competition. There were about a thousand Inner Court Disciples in the Floating Cloud Academy, but only about a hundred of them participated in this competition.
As for others, they gave up because they knew their strength is not enough.
In these two days, Alex had once again broken through and become a Golden Core Stage Level martial warrior. He was also one of the disciples gathered at the huge plaza.
After some time, the First Elder descended from the sky along with a few more elders. But this time, the Leader of the Floating Cloud Academy has also come. He was in the front and was flying with the First Elder. He was dressed in black and stood out in the group of elders. He was also the strongest person in the Floating Cloud Academy. He was a Heaven Completion Stage Level 4 martial warrior.
The Leader was a middle-aged man who was about to turn into an old man. He had a mixed white and black beard that was about a fist long. There was a sword mark on the left upper arm and it was not hidden in clothes.
Alex immediately looked at his attribute panel.
[Name: Artison Maxwell.
Cultivation: Heaven Completion Stage Level 4.
Cultivation Talent: Profound Grade Cultivation Talent.
Unique Talent: Profound Grade Five Basic Attribute Talent, Profound Grade Berserk Blood Talent, Super Grade Speed Talent,...
Skills: Floating Cloud Palm, Floating Cloud Sword Art, Floating Cloud Steps, Star Slashing Sword Art, Air Piercing Finger,...
Special Physique: None.
Bloodline: Berserker Bloodline (Profound Grade).
Weapon: Floating Cloud Sword (Spirit Grade).
Other Treasures: Hidden Cloud Cloak, Origin Sea Pills, Spirit Origin Pills, Origin Flame Flower, Blazing Sky Fruit,...]
There were simply too many treasures on the leader's body. Although his attributes were ordinary, when it comes to the possession of treasures, then Alex can swear that he has never seen a man as rich as the leader of the Floating Cloud Academy.
He wanted to replicate all the treasures, however...
Sigh!
He was so poor!
After all, the people were present, Artison stepped forward, causing the noisy crowd to become quiet immediately.
As the leader of the Floating Cloud Academy, Artison's position in everyone's heart was on a different level.
Artison held his head high and said, "Everyone, it is time to depart. We will go to the Cloud Mountain Range, for the competition is being held there. Before departing, I'll say a few words."
"You should give your all in this competition. This competition is an opportunity that can change your entire life. If you are chosen, not only will you be able to go to the Middle Land and enter the First Grade Force called the Star Seeking Tower, even our Floating Cloud Academy will benefit from you. Most importantly, our Floating Cloud Academy will have a connection with a First Grade Force of the Middle Land which can ensure the safety of our academy for the next thousands of years."
"Also, the disciples who can be chosen to go to the Middle Land will be rewarded by us with a Profound Grade Weapon, ten drops of Spirit Liquid, as well as two Vermillion Blood Fruits."
The moment Artison announced this, another wave of uproar occurred in the crowd of disciples. It is because every single reward offered by the Leader was very precious to them.
Let the Profound Grade Weapon aside, ten drops of Spirit Liquid could easily make even a Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior breakthrough the bottleneck between Spirit Origin Stage and Origin Sea Stage. One can easily imagine the previousness of this liquid.
As for the Vermillion Blood Fruits, they were more previous. This fruit contains traces of Vermillion Bird's bloodline. There is a very small chance of obtaining this bloodline after eating the Vermillion Bird Fruit. And Artison was actually offering two pieces of Vermillion Bird Fruits. How could Inner Court disciples not be moved?
Alex, on the other hand, smiled in his heart. This leader was really crafty.
How could he give up such a treasure when there is nothing to gain. Alex had already guessed the purpose of the leader.
Who could guarantee that the chosen disciple will not forget about the Floating Cloud Academy after going to the Star Seeking Tower?
Artison was offering this kind of previous treasure because he wanted to win over the heart of those chosen disciples. And in the future, he could gain more benefits from those disciples.
Alex already had Earth Spirit Milk, so he was not worried about the Spirit Liquid. But these Vermillion Blood Fruits were different. He has to get his hands on these two fruits.
After some time, the leader took out a huge floating boat. Although this was also a floating boat, it was different from the Flying Ship that could travel through the Valley of Death.
If it were to fly over the Valley Of Death and encounter any thunderstorm, it would be shattered instantly. So, it was not that precious. Also, it was just a Profound Grade flying treasure.
