System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 40 Ch 40: Alex V/S Neon



"Iron Hammer Fist!"

After Alex and Neon ascended to the arena, they did not talk anything.

Neon was the first one to make his move. He rushed at Alex with his fist. A red light shone and his fist was strengthened. And as if his fist was a hammer, Neon smashed his fist at Alex's head.

Alex was not to be outdone. He used his palm to face Neon's Iron Hammer Fist.

"Falling Sand Palm!"

His palm was like sand as it softly received the sand without receiving any damage.

Neon jumped back immediately when he saw this. He was surprised but that was only for a few seconds. If Alex could not even block his attack in which he used the lowest power, he would not have been qualified to stand opposite to him.

Let alone standing opposite to him, Alex would not have been able to defeat the person ranked tenth in the outer sect.

"Wind Blade Cut!"

Neon took out a blade and fused his spirit energy before slashing out his martial arts skill.

A wave of wind flew before turning into a curved wind blade and slashed at Alex.

The strength that Neon had just shone was his 50% of strength. With this much strength, he could easily defeat any Ninth Level Enlightenment Stage martial warrior. Alex was only at the Enlightenment Stage Fifth Level, so, according to his guess, this attack should at least injure Alex.

But, nothing happened like what he had thought. Alex easily dodged this attack using the "Wandering Steps" that he had duplicated from Asna's father, Aren White.

Wandering Step was a Grade 5 martial arts skill. Usually, only a martial warrior at the Golden Core Realm use Grade 5 martial arts skill. Even in the Floating Cloud Academy, the outer sect disciples could only enter the first floor of the Skill Pavilion where from Grade 1 to Grade 4 martial arts skills were stored.

If one wants to learn Grade 5 martial arts skills, they have to go to the Second Floor of the Skill Pavilion, and only Golden Core Realm martial warriors could enter the Second Floor.

A Golden Core Realm martial warrior is also qualified to advance and become an inner court disciple of the Floating Cloud Academy.

If not for Aren White, Alex would not have a Grade 5 martial arts skill like "Wandering Steps".

Using the Wandering Steps, Alex immediately disappeared from where he stood and appeared behind Neon. Then he closed his palm, forming a fist, and attacked.

"Jade Shattering Fist!"

The sound of air tearing could be heard as his attack directly landed on Neon's back, causing him to let out a 'puff' sound and was forced to move a few steps forward. Blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Alex with a surprised gaze. This time, he really was surprised. He did not expect Alex to have such a marvelous movement skill.

It was not only Neon, even the deacon and other disciples standing in the surroundings were surprised. They could not help but praise Alex's movement skills.

Of course, there were also some people who were calling Alex shameless for attacking from behind. Some of them were even saying that Alex's movement skill was nothing special. Even they have such a movement skill in their possession.

"You are good!"

Neon's eyes shone with light. He wiped out blood from the corner of his mouth and praised Alex.

"I know!" Alex shamelessly nodded his head, admitting that he know he is good, causing others' mouths to twitch constantly two or three times.

Neon didn't say anything anymore. Instead, he took the stance, closed his eyes, and then started gathering spirit energy on the blade in his hand. In the next moment, when the blade in his hand started shining with light-green light, Neon opened his eyes and said, "Be careful!"

"Thousand Blade Curve!"

Suddenly, waves after waves of gale appeared and were shot towards Alex. Every gale turned into a curved blade and cut at Alex.

Alex tried to use his Wandering Steps to dodge again but there were simply too many wind blades at the moment slashing down at him. He could not dodge all the wind blades, causing many deep injuries to appear on his body. Blood also flowed out from those injuries, dyeing his body red immediately.

Alex took a deep breath. He had successfully faced the two attacks of Neon Belix, causing him to believe he could easily defeat Neon. Neon gave him the impression of being weak even though he had the cultivation base at the Innate Stage Level 1.

This caused Alex to feel arrogance in his heart. But exactly this arrogance that was born in his heart for a few seconds caused him to let down his guard. This was also the reason why he suffered from injuries.

Only if he had not let his guard down, he would not have suffered from such injuries.

Alex immediately recognized his mistakes and thought that it was a lesson for him. He should not look down on others just because of a momentary win. Who knows, if the opponent is playing pig to eat the tiger.

"Do we have to continue fighting?"

Seeing his attack successfully injuries Alex, Neon asked. He was hoping for Alex to be a sensible person acknowledge defeat.

But how could he know Alex was more of a stubborn person than a sensible one.

He looked at Neon and said, "No, I'm not defeated yet. I agree that I had become arrogant for a few moments and suffered serious injuries, but it is not enough to decide who the victor is. Let's fight seriously now!"

Neon frowned. Then he looked into Alex's eyes that were filled with a fighting spirit and nodded his head, saying, "Then let's continue fighting!"

"Thousand Blade Curves!"

Alex did not back down. Instead, he advanced and attacked: "Wind Essence Formula!"

The gales that transformed into thousands of wind blades and rushed at Alex were instantly shattered when Alex used the Wind Essence Formula.

Wind Essence Formula could make one eligible to manipulate the wind for a few seconds to some extent.

Although it sounds like nothing much, in practical use, it could prove to be of huge help.

Using the Wind Essence Formula to manipulate the winds of thousands of wind blades created by Neon's Thousand Blade Curves was nothing much for Alex, or at least it seemed on the surface.

In reality, this move used up half of Alex's spirit energy.

Alex did not show it on his face otherwise he would have been caught by Neon. And if that really would have happened, Neon might really have thought of some ways to defeat him.
