Chapter 170: True Seven Stars Cu

170 True Seven Stars Cu

"What? Four Layers? There are only two people in the sect that managed to do it at the beginning. They both are already a core disciple."
"Yes, most probably, he will also become our Core Disciple."
"Haha, look at Ryuu's face."
"Oh right, He just wanted to be slapped."
"It seems that Himura Minami boasting is not an empty fact."
The Inner and Core disciples continue discussing Kenshin. Nakagawa Ryuu's face darkened. He was slapped hard by Kenshin. Himura Minami looks at him smugly, her eyes are openly mocking him. Nakagawa Ryuu dragged Nakagawa Hikotaka away. "I'm sorry, Third Elder. I remember I had something to do."
"Sure, go on." The Third Elder only shrugged his shoulder. Something like this often happens in the sect.
Even the Thiveapia royal family was utterly shocked. Lena and the Second Prince, Timothy de Gran Thiveapia, were shocked while Evelyn looked at him with admiration.
Alex approached Kenshin and grab his shoulder. He is a bit hesitant about this, but...
"Alex?" Kenshin is confused by Alex's actions.
Alex sighed. He decided to give him that name. Seeing his talent become more apparent, it seems that his identity is clear enough for Alex. "Kenshin, from now, you are Hitokiri Battousai."
When the words of 'Hitokiri Battousai' ringing in his ear. He suddenly perceived a very nostalgic feeling, and his heart started to ache. "Alex, what is the meaning of 'Hitokiri Battousai'? Why I felt it is really nostalgic and dear, but it also makes my heart ache?"
"You don't need to know the meaning of that." Alex shook his head. How can he say 'Hitokiri Battousai' is a nickname for a cold-blooded killer when killing their enemy?
"Why?"
"You only need to know this. Katana is a mean to kill, and your will is the one who kills. It makes sense, right? After all, sword is a weapon. The user is the one who learns to kill with it. No matter how you put it, it is the truth." Alex said solemnly to Kenshin.
"Alex?" Kenshin shuddered when Alex said all of those words. He felt those words shook his entire existence. His aura becomes unstable. The others, including the third elder and Himura Minami, become worried, especially Himura Minami, she is almost burst out. But before she did anything, Alex continues.
"But don't forget about this. Your will is the one who decided that. If you will it to kill, then it will kill. But! If you will it to protect, then it will protect. It will protect who you want to protect, your sister, your parents, your loved one. Remember it Kenshin! You are the one who chooses your sword path." Alex said while clenching Kenshin's shoulder.
"Protect... Sword isn't a tool to kill but to protect... Sword that protects" Kenshin's aura suddenly become mellow and stable. But the third elder can see it. It is not only that, he felt Kenshin's aura become stronger and clear like flowing water.
"Alex...How about you?" Kenshin slowly said while looking at him.
"Me?" Alex has expected that he will ask about this too. His mind filled with that particular 'scene'. Because of his weakness, John able to hire an assassin and made Alicia like that. If he didn't give mercy on that day in the academy when he fought John. Will that tragedy happen? No, they will still accompany him at this moment. With that, his answer is obvious. "I kill to protect."
He went away while ignoring Himura Minami's murderous glare. He only shrugged his shoulder. And the third elder seems becoming more and more interested in him. He looked at the other disciples who were clueless, whether they are the new outer disciples, or inner disciples. For Core Disciples, they knew what happened at that moment somehow. They looked at Alex mysteriously.
The second prince, Timothy, put away his shocked face and said. He didn't know exactly what happened to Kenshin at that moment, so he chooses to ignore it for the time being. "How about you two also perform? Who will go first?"
Lena looked at her younger sister. Since Evelyn's talent in sword is better, she decided not to embarrass herself. She will go first so she won't be compared with her sister. "I will go first."
"En." Timothy nodded.
Lena goes to the front. After she steps forward, all of their attention goes back to her from Kenshin. Kenshin didn't look at her. Instead, he looks at Alex. When he said his path, he was a bit unsure about it, but surely, he felt Alex's regret at that moment. He chose not to say anything about it, he just swore that he would get stronger to help Alex's burden.
'Seven Stars Cut'
Lena performs her understanding in 'Seven Stars Cut'. She managed to form three layers Seven Stars Cut. Although it wasn't that shocking because of Kenshin's performances. Her talent is indeed top-notch.
"Wow, She managed to form three layers."
"As expected of Thiveapia Royal Family."
"Even though it isn't that shocking because of the previous performance. She is also one of the best."
After she used the Seven Stars Cut, she looked at Evelyn. "Evelyn, it's your turn."
Evelyn nodded timidly. She went to the front, and it seems that many already know her identity.
"Is she..."
"Yes, she is the rumored one in a thousand years genius, The eleventh Princess."
'Seven Stars Cut'
When she used the 'Seven Stars Cut'. It stunned everyone once again. Because, she produced four layers in her sword wave, the same as Kenshin.
"Four Layers"
"As expected of the rumored genius."
"Yeah. What is shocking is that there is another genius on the same level as her"
"If you ignored his cultivation and only looked at his sword achievement. He is indeed a genius on the same level as her."
"How is it?" Evelyn came back to Lena and Timothy and asked.
"It is very good. As expected of you, Evelyn." Timothy praised her. Lena nodded proudly like she is the one who did it. She then looked at Alex and pointed her finger at him. "You are next."
"I'm not your friend, nor I'm your servant. I don't have any obligation to do what you want" Alex shrugged his shoulder and went away.
"You!" She is angry. It seems that Alex especially wants to pick a fight with her.
"Lena. Let me do it, It seems that there is someone who didn't put Thiveapia Royal Family in his eyes. I will tea..." Timothy suddenly stopped. He looked at the third elder with a shocked face.
"Brother?" Confused, Lena asked.
"Nothing. Don't bother with him for now" Timothy corrected himself.
Alex looked at the Timothy, who suddenly looked at Elder Dolf, and it seems that Elder Dolf said something to him, which stopped him.
Four words stopped Timothy. The third elder only transmitted these four words, 'Sect Master protected him.'
Even he knew what kind of person is the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect. He is the living legend, one of the few Martial Kings in the continent. It is evident if he wanted to make trouble for Alex, it would reach his ears. And it won't be beneficial for him and his kingdom. Well, Alex also didn't offend them excessively. It is like what Alex said. He is not her friend or her servant. She can't order him. Timothy can only convince himself with that thought. "Don't be like that, Sister. It is truly like he said, You can't order someone like that. We need to be respectful to other people and become a model for them."
"Brother?" She becomes aghast. She looked at her brother, like looking at a ghost.
"Don't pick a fight with him. Try to befriend him, he will surely consider your words" Timothy said. Since the third elder is the one who said that. Alexander might have a relationship with Sect Master, he suspected that the sect master wanted to receive him as his disciple. After all, his friend, Himura Kenshin, managed to form four layers Seven Stars Cut. Alexander himself must be unordinary.
"Brother, you...Hmph!" She gritted her teeth while looking at Alex hatefully.
The performing continued. From sword to spear to bow and so on. The new disciples perform their best to show the senior disciples on what they can do. The senior disciples picked several of them, and it seems there is also a senior disciple that chose a woman without that many talents in her. The rest can be imagined.
The one who still didn't perform anything is only Alex. Lena pointed at him again. "You are the last"
Alex ignored her and straight looked at Elder Dolf. "Third Elder. May this junior exempt from this?"
"Hoho, It is a bit impolite to your peers who already performed their best, right? It is also impolite to the senior disciples who spare their time to come here" Elder Dolf said lightly. In fact, he is interested as to how high his achievement be.
"Hmph, just say that you are scared since you didn't manage to learn anything" Lena mocked him.
"Sister" Timothy and Evelyn immediately stopped her.
It is like what she said. Most of the disciples who decided to challenge the stone monument failed to form even a single layer. From fifty people, there are only eleven people managed to use 'Seven Stars Cut'. Kenshin, Lena, Evelyn, and Hikotaka already included in that eleven. That means there are only seven people that managed to do it, and all of them only managed to form a single layer Seven Stars Cut.
Alex sighed, it seems that he can't go away with this. He casually used 'Seven Stars Cut'. And from the look of it, he only managed to form a single layer.
"Boom!"
A giant boulder destroyed by the attack. It shocks everyone. It shouldn't be possible to do that with one layer Seven Stars Cut. They look at Alex with their shocked face.
Lena, who also shocked by it, decided to ignore it and pick on Alex. "Hehe, Now I know why you didn't want to show everyone. You must be embarrassed since your friend can use four layers Seven Stars Cut while you only managed to form a single layer. You must be...oomph!"
Timothy suddenly uses his hands to plug Lena's mouth so she can't spout any more words. He decided to do this because he looks at the Third Elder's shocked expression. At first, he had the same thought as Lena, but it seems that wasn't the case. He concludes from the Third Elder's expression, and the power contained from that sword wave, Alex is must be extraordinary. After all, it is impossible to destroy a giant boulder with only a single layer Seven Stars Cut even if that Martial Art is Earth Tier Skill.
Elder Dolf, who saw Alex's sword wave, has his jaw dropped to the ground. He thought that Alex only managed to form a single layer Seven Stars Cut. But when it destroyed the giant boulder, he shocked, but he decided to observe the sword wave and bewildered by what he found. "Sword Intent"
'To fuse the Sword Intent and to make it flying. It can only be done by Sword Master that very close to Sword Grandmaster. His understanding in sword is already that much? he is only twenty years old.' Elder Dolf was shocked by the fact, but there is another thing he noticed. It is still impossible to smash that giant boulder even with his Sword Intent. But he recalled when the Stone Monument lit up, he thought it lit up because of the two genius, Kenshin and Evelyn. But it seems that if they are a genius, then Alex must be a Monster. 'He...he really comprehend the true essence of Seven Stars Cut. Before long, the true Seven Stars Cut will emerge the world.'
He remembered that Alex seems to have a great background that even the Sect Master is afraid of it. The Sect Master said that he couldn't have a teacher or a master, so the Sect Master decided to make a relation with him in another way, which is to put him under the care of Ninth Elder's disciple, Song Yu. It seems that it is the best choice for the time being.
After Timothy conclude what is happening just now, he decided to warn his sisters. "Lena, Evelyn."
Both of them looked at him with a confused face. Timothy continued solemnly. "Try to form a good relationship with him. There's seems something big behind him. It might also be the reason why he didn't fear the Thiveapia Kingdom."
