System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex's feet moved continuously with his movement skill like flowing water. At the moment when he used his full strength, it was actually even more profound than Arfan's footwork. He always dodged Mobish's attacks by a hair's breadth.

"This is the Nine Star Cloud Step's true essence. Good boy. No wonder he was concealing his strength previously. He's really cautious." On the high platform, the elders were no longer shocked. Their eyes lit up as if they had found a new continent.

Amongst the Combat Skills, movement skills were the hardest to cultivate, and comprehending their true meaning was even more difficult. But right now, Alex was displaying the essence of the true meaning and he had reached the limits of the footwork.

On the other hand, Henry was shocked. It is because he knew the truth about Alex. Alex had just passed the examination of Moon Palace and he was brought here. He had not been in the sect for even two days and had yet to officially become a disciple.

But now, he was unleashing a movement skill that was only available in the Nine Star Mountain Sect.

What is going on?

Why does Alex know the Nine Star Cloud Steps?

What is more, he had even comprehended the true essence behind the Nine Star Cloud Steps.

Even the most talented genius has to practice at least a year to comprehend the True Essence of Nine Star Cloud Steps, but Alex somehow managed to do it in less than a day.

How could he not be shocked?

"Bang."

A dull sound of collision resonated across the Battle stage. Alex and Mobish were engaged in an intense battle.

At this moment, everyone had a completely new appraisal of Alex's power.

Elmer's face had already darkened to the extreme. Everything seemed to go wrong today; First, James, and now Alex.

There was still a light smile on Serah's exceptionally beautiful face. Contrary to Serah, the expression on Elmer's face was a little ugly. Even he had not comprehended the true essence of Nine Star Cloud Steps either.

"He is truly extraordinary." Arfan laughed loudly and grinned ear to ear.

Sabine's beautiful eyes flashed. She nodded her head repeatedly.

"Fifth move of the Mountain-Splitting Palm."

Mobish struck constantly, intending to injure Alex heavily but Alex was just like a nimble fish, dodging all his attacks smoothly.

"Sixth move of the Mountain-Splitting Palm."

"Seventh move of the Mountain-Splitting Palm."

The vigorous moves and the surging spirit energy swept towards Alex crazily but were all dodged.

Mountain-Splitting Palm had nine moves, and the ninth was the strongest move.

"Alex, I do not believe that you can withstand my strongest attack." Mobish's eyes turned red. He had gone mad and his voice became hysterical.

He wanted to compete for first place, and now it was difficult for him to even enter the top three.

In his rage, Mobish unleashed the last move of the Mountain-Splitting Palm. The ninth move, Splitting the mountain, was to use the palm as the blade, Mobish's aura suddenly became extremely sharp like a blade that could split a mountain, flickering with a cold light. His palm suddenly fell down.

It was the strongest attack of Mid-Grade Celestial Rank Combat Skill, but Mobish had not completely comprehended its true meaning. It was only its strongest attack.

Facing the strongest attack from his opponent, Alex sneered, and the aura around his body surged once again. He had never given his all in this battle, and neither did he think there was a need to use his true strength. Sometimes, hiding one's strength is the most important move.

When he clenched his fists, Alex's aura changed which had turned into a fierce tiger. His eyes became sharp and the energy aura around him became even more condensed.

When the elders and the crowd felt Alex's aura at this moment, all of their expressions changed.

They could feel how terrifying the next move Alex was about to make was.

"This Alex's talent is not weaker than Elmer's. No, I think he could be even compared to Henry!"

"Yes! At first, I only thought that James is the only dark horse in this competition. But it turned out that there was another one who is also the strongest dark horse."

Some of the elders thought to themselves. They looked to the side and saw curiosity in the Great Elder's eyes.

"Bang!"

Under all these emotions of these people., Alex's attack collided with Mobish's attack. And with a dull sound, it carried a burst of energy that swept in all directions. The entire stage trembled, and in a flash, two men separated.

One of them suddenly retreated only one step, while the other one flew back in midair. At the same time, the sound of bones shattering could be heard.

The one who had retreated a step was Alex. On the other hand, Mobish had already flown out of the Battle Stage, both of his arms stretched down, and it seemed that they were already broken. He directly dropped into the crowd, producing a sound.

After the first defeat, the outcome had already been decided. The scene was completely silent.

Below the stage, everyone's gaze had changed. Even James, who was indifferent, had a grave expression on his face.

They looked at Alex with unavoidable reverence. Even quite a few people compared Alex with Elmer, Serah, and Henry.

"He is not bad at all."

On the high platform, the Great Clan Elder narrowed his eyes once again and said indifferently.

The Second Elder's expression was dark for some special reason, but he did not say a word.

The other Elders nodded their heads, agreeing with Great Elder.

Amidst everyone's respectful gazes, Alex walked out of the Battle Stage, toward Sabine and Arfan.

"You nailed it, bro!"

Arfan looked at Alex and said excitedly. Then he also expressed his gratitude. It is because, Alex's last attack broke Mobish's bones, causing him unable to continue fighting, so it was obvious that Arfan had automatically won fourth place. Now, Arfan is ranked fourth.

Sabine, James, and Alex were now the top three people and will fight to determine their position.

"Not bad, Alex. You can defeat Mobish just like that. It seems you are very powerful and you kept yourself hidden all this while flawlessly. You have a high chance of entering the core sect." Sabine laughed mischievously.

Alex laughed but did not say anything.

"This guy." The praise in Serah's eyes grew stronger and stronger, but the coldness in Elmer's eyes also grew colder and colder. Alex was able to defeat his brother, it proved his strength. And from his performance in the battle, it could be seen that Alex's talent was already on par with his talent.

To Elmer, not only Mobish was defeated by Alex, Alex was a threat to him in a special way.

After all, Serah was showing great interest in Alex.

"I must kill him." Looking at the severely injured younger brother, Elmer gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Senior Elmer, you have to be careful. After all, it is very likely that Alex will become the core disciple. And killing a core disciple is a heavy crime that not even Young Master Henry could escape from?" One of the disciples beside him said solemnly.

Elmer could only grit his teeth in anger but not do anything. He also understood the severity of the situation very well and knew that if he wants to kill Alex, he has to do it without leaving behind even the tiniest of proof. Otherwise, not only he will lose the position of a core disciple, but he will also be punished heavily by the sect.

"The third battle begins. James versus Sabine."

The elders on the stage naturally did not care about what the people below the stage discussing. The second battle was about to end, and soon, it was time for the second battle.

Right after he finished speaking, James walked towards the Battle stage first.

Besides Alex, Sabine nibbled on her red lip, ready to go up the stage.

"Just give up. You're not his match." Alex said in a low voice. It is because he could tell that James is even stronger than Mobish. He had hidden his own strength well from others.

It is a pity that Alex has a System that could lets him see everything about all the people.

Sabine shook her head and chuckled, "It's fine. I want to see just how strong he is and what kind of trump cards he has."

After that, Sabine walked into the Battle stage.

"Not bad at all. She is beautiful, caring, and very smart. What kind of luck did you have?" Arfan, who was at the side, was full of envy.

Sabine's original intention was too obvious; it was to uncover the true strength of James so that Alex would have more chances to win.

In the Battle stage, after Sabine arrived, James immediately launched his attack after greeting her.

"Thousand Illusion Palm."

"Star Explosion Fist."

A sonic boom sounded out, causing the entire Battle stage to tremble once again.
