"Hehe, Alex White, right? Before the competition, I had no idea there is a disciple like you in the outer sect. But it doesn't matter. No matter how powerful you are, you are going to lose here!" Looking at Alex in front of him, Hassan laughed sinisterly. He clenched his fists tightly, and cracking sounds came out from his joints.
"Yes, I think so too." Alex said indifferently, "But it is going to be the opposite of what you just said!"
"Opposite?" Hassan was startled.
"You are going to stop climbing the rank here," Alex said.
"Good boy." Hassan laughed out loud when he heard this. Then he said, "Be careful, I might 'accidentally' beat you to death later."
As he said, Hassan waved his fists and fiercely punched towards Alex with a whooshing sound.
Alex smiled, clenched his fist, and unleashed a terrifying might, ready to face Hassan head-on. Spirit energy around his body started surging, and it seemed as if he almost turned into a fierce tiger in an instant.
Henry's Fist strikes stroke straight at Alex's face, bringing along a gust of wind as it flew, just like a hammer. But soon, Alex's fist had also arrived in front of Hassan's Fist.
"Bang!"
The fists collided with a dull thud.
The impact of their collision didn't do any harm to Alex. Alex didn't even move an inch from his place. On the other side, Hassan felt a huge force surging out of Alex's fist that caused him to uncontrollably retreat.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
In a split second, he had retreated more than ten steps, and the blood within his body was churning uncontrollably. He could not help but spit out a large mouthful of blood at the last step.
"You?"
Alex's strength caused Hassan's expression to change greatly. He never thought to be forced back by Alex in a single blow.
"Swoosh."
A white figure flashed in front of his eyes and then Hassan saw Alex appear right in front of him, followed by a pair of extremely fast fists, smashing toward him like a rainstorm.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Hassan waved his fists and resisted continuously. However, the speed of his punches was nothing when compared with Alex's. What was worse, every punch of Alex was extremely heavy.
A punch got through the defense of Henry's Fists and reached Hassan's face. After a loud bang, one of Hassan's eyes instantly turned black.
One after another, as the punches swept past, Hassan was forced to retreat step by step.
Even at this point, Alex had not used his true strength. In this battle, he completely relied on his powerful physique to fight. In fact, he did not even feel the need of using his Chaos Energy during the battle at all.
Hassan was hit punch by punch and his face was swollen. Alex punched out heavily, but when his fist really landed on Hassan's face, it was not that heavy, only enough to make his face swollen.
"Look there!"
From the crowd, voices came out. Those who were watching other battles unintentionally saw Alex's battle, and immediately cried in surprise.
Hassan was famous in the sect, and he was definitely powerful, but in just one exchange, he was pushed back by Alex, and then he was beaten down to the point where he had no way to retaliate.
"This person is not simple."
"Exactly! Did anyone notice that he is simply relying on his powerful physique to attack? This is also the reason why Hassan has yet to be defeated. If Alex really used his spirit energy to fight, just like Patrick, Hassan will also be defeated in a single move!"
Being able to defeat Hassan, Alex's strength was already unquestionable. Outside of the square, there were exclamations of shock, and on top of the high platform, all of the elders were also very surprised.
"The examination this time is really exciting." An elder in red said.
"Yeah, it is!" Another elder said.
"The talent of the disciples in this inner sect competition is higher than that of any other competition."
The attention of the elders was only cast once at Alex in surprise. After that, they looked at the battle in another direction, which was James's battle platform.
Along the way, there were several elders who kept on staring at James, as if they were extremely concerned about this mysterious disciple.
"Not really." The calm Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There was an inner sect examination where there were even more geniuses than this. They were just surpassed by one disciple and thus seemed plain and ordinary."
The other elders turned and looked at the Great Elder.
Suddenly, an elder's eyes lit up and said, "Great Elder, are you talking about...?"
"That's right, it was exactly Elmer's examination. Back then, Elmer had swept away all the young disciples of that generation. From then on, he was regarded highly by the Peak Master, and was accepted as a core disciple."
Some of the elders had personally witnessed that battle while some had only heard about it. However, after hearing what the Great Elder had said today, those who did not witness it all changed their expressions. Such talent was even much better than theirs.
Elmer was the No.1 of the core disciples of the Fourth Mountain Peak and also the person with the third highest talent in the entire Fourth Mountain Peak. Only Serah and Henry were above them.
After fighting fiercely, all the battles came to an end.
Mobish, James, Arfan, Sabine, and Alex had won, and all of them were now ranked in the top five.
Hassan's face was no longer worth looking at. He now had a pig face, adding another kind of charm to his face that kept everyone away from him and made him a topic of jokes.
"Just you wait and see!"
Before he left, Hassan with a pig's head spoke fiercely, but because his face was swollen, his words were unclear, making him sound extremely funny.
Alex's attack was not really heavy, so Hassan was injured superficially, and his brain or bones wasn't hurt. After a few days of rest, his swelling would completely disappear, and at the same time, it would not affect the following battles either.
Now, it was time for the top five to draw lots.
"Good luck."
In front of the drawing box, Sabine waved her fist towards Alex and her big eyes were filled with encouragement.
"You too!" Alex nodded and said with a smile on his face.
The result of the drawing of lots was quickly announced, but the result was also very dramatic.
It was Arfan versus James, Sabine versus Mobish, and Alex got a bypass.
"This was God-damn lucky bastard!"
No one knows who said it, but everyone started cursing Alex's luck, at least in their hearts.
Getting a pass was equivalent to having been promoted automatically, without needing to fight a battle. In other words, he was already in the top three.
The moment this result was revealed, booing and disappointed voices could be heard from the crowd.
"Although Sabine is powerful, she stands no chance against Mobish. She is definitely not Mobish's match. However, being able to enter the top five is also not bad." Serah, who was in the distance, muttered in a low voice, but it was still heard by Elmer.
"It's already good enough for her to enter the top five, but that brat called Alex White is really lucky to take out an empty lot and get a free pass!" Elmer said indifferently, but if one looks closely, one will find his hands clenched.
Looking at the number two lot in her hands, Sabine smiled bitterly. She was not a match for Mobish at all, it is something she knew very well.
"The battles begin."
On a high platform, an elder said indifferently.
As this fight could be said to be a semi-final round, the battles were held one by one. Arfan and James who drew lot number one would be the first to fight.
The battle had just begun and following his usual path of light walking method and dodging one of James's attacks with just a hair's breadth, Arfan attacked heavily on the vulnerable part of his opponent.
After fighting for a while, Arfan had obtained some impressive results.
Cheers came from the crowd; it was obvious that they were cheering for the unassuming and less-handsome Arfan.
"This little guy is still concealing himself even now." On a high platform, an elder chuckled.
"Heh! Young people are always good to see." Another elder said.
"On the other hand, James is not bad as well. His talent is very high and even catches up to Elmer." Another elder sighed and spoke.
The Great Elder continued to meditate with his eyes closed. Hearing the conversation of the elders, the Second Elder was overjoyed. It is because, unknown to everyone, James was Second Elder's son.
After fighting for a while, Arfan was not at a disadvantage at all, and he actually got the run upon.
