Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

*****************¶¶*****************

"The Martial Origin Realm!"

The puppet was at the first stage of the Martial Origin Realm and its aura was many times greater than that of the Gold Core Realm.

In this realm, cultivators have a more perfect flow of energy which allows them to control their essence energy at a much faster rate than those of a lower realm.

'I can't let it attack first!'

Arthur attacked and the sword puppet dodged his attack easily and sent its sword at him.

*Ding!*

Their sword clashed as they both tried to overpower each other in strength.

Arthur was a bit surprised to find out that he was not able to best the puppet in pure strength!

Seeing that they were equally matched they took a step back and the puppet released its sword intent.

'It's at the 9th level!'

Arthur could see that sword intent at the 8th level had nothing on that of the 9th level, it was as though it were in another realm of lethality.

Arthur grinned as he got a bit excited and released his rank four sword intent, while simultaneously increasing the power of his strength intent to the 9th level, same with his speed intent.

This way, he would be able to match up to the puppet in speed and strength.

He also released more than seventy percent of his spirit power further enhancing his perception to help him keep up with the sword attacks of the puppet and also to do something more.

'Comprehend sword intent!'

Arthur discovered that he was on the verge of breaking through to the 5th rank of sword intent, and he was going to use this battle to do so.

After all, he has an 'instructor', that is the puppet who is 'kind' enough to give a live demonstration of sword intent.

Without wasting time, both parties began to attack each other and the battle officially began!

``````````

"So you can use the puppet's sword?"

David had never seen anyone do that before.

"So it seems. Everyone chooses their weapon and even if they don't, no one had tried taking the puppet's sword before," Sophia said.

"But from the looks of it, he has never used a sword before."

"Yes, that is another thing that surprises me. How did he learn sword intent?"

The two elders felt that they had seen a true genius in Arthur.

Just then, David's eyes diverted for a second to the other screens, and was surprised to find out that almost everyone has been sent out.

"We got so focused on him that we didn't even look at the rest," David stared at a particular screen that showed Sun Wukong's battle.

Sun Wukong was currently engaged in fighting the puppet on the 25th floor and he was exhausted, which was obvious as he was breathing heavily.

Meanwhile, the puppet had a lot of fist marks on its amour and Sun Wukong was inflicted with multiple sword wounds.

He had released his martial spirit and was using the perks it gave him to match up to the puppet.

"King Kong Fist: 4th Stage!"

A giant fist made of blazing red energy was formed around Sun Wukong's right fist as he sent it forward.

*Bang!*

The puppet got punched into the air and Sun Wukong jumped and clasp his hands together and smashed the puppet down with all his strength.

*Boom!*

The puppet plummeted to the floor with great force and caused large cracks to appear on it.

It was incapacitated and the floor was cleared.

*Thud!*

Sun Wukong fell on his back and was out of breath. He could not get up from the floor.

"Hah...I did it...I passed... That guy was right!"

"Do you wish to continue?" Asked the voice of the Sword Tower's Artifact Spirit.

"No...hah...no more..."

"Very well."

Sun Wukong got set out of the tower.

He opened his eyes and was surprised to see that he had no injuries and wondered what happened.

"Did the tower heal me, or was it all an illusion?"

He shrugged and walked outside and saw a crowd much greater than when he and the others entered the tower.

'Why so many people?' He asked himself.

Immediately after he walked out, two people got sent out at the same time.

They were Luke and the young man who Arthur noticed had awakened a strong will.

"Yes! I did it!"

"I passed the fifteenth floor! I'm a three-star battle genius now!"

The young man was happy and excited about his growth. Before now, he was barely able to meet the requirement of having a one-star battle prowess.

Now, with the awakening of a powerful will to rise, he had surpassed his limits twice today. He was very happy indeed.

While he celebrated, he came outside to see the focused gaze of a great crowd on the tower.

'Are they here for me?' He wondered how good it would be if that were true.

But unfortunately, no one noticed when he came out as their eyes were focused on a number above the tower.

Luke walked out from behind the young man while thinking of the level he reached in the tower.

'The 20th floor...this means among four-star geniuses I am among the best!'

'My martial spirit was more powerful than I thought it was. If it wasn't for giving my all and refusing to give up I would never have known it could do that...'

Luke was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the young man in front of him and accidentally bumped into him.

"Ugh!"

"Ouch! Watch where you're going, man!"

"I'm sorry about that," Luke apologized before recognizing who the young man was.

'He is one of those Master Arthur asked me to pay attention to...I better use this chance to get to know him.'

"It's fine. I just wonder why the large crowd?" The young man turned around as he walked outside.

It was then that Luke noticed the crowd outside.

He followed after the young man and introduced himself.

"My name's Luke, what's yours?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm Balor...Balor Weissman."

Luke's expression changed for a second before reverting to normal.

"The Weissman noble family?" Luke asked with a bit of trembling in his tone.

"Yeah, that one. But I don't know if I can still use that name anymore. My family abandoned me after all...so just call me Balor."

Balor smiled wryly and scratched the back of his head.
