Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

When the inner court disciples of the Blood Sword Faction received news of what happened in the arena and Arthur's declaration, they were incensed.

*Bang!*

The table filled with food and drinks before them was broken to pieces with a hit.

"How dare he? Who does he think he is?"contemporary romance

"Come with me, let us go and see just how powerful this arrogant disciple claims he is."

Then a group of five left the Inner Court of the sect and headed toward the Arena of the Outer Court.

Back at the outer court arena, the rules of the next round were announced.

"The top ten disciples will not be participating in this round until the top twenty have been decided."

"I have sent tokens with numbers ranging from 11 to 300. The matches will be in this order; the holder of token 11 will face the holder of token 12."

"Number 13 will face number 14, and number 15 will face number 16, and so on. When the top twenty have been decided, the disciples will be allowed to rest and recover their strength before they face the top ten."

"The battle shall continue between the two disciples until the winner has been decided. Also, if one disciple admits defeat, then the other disciple must not continue to attack, else that disciple will be disqualified from the ranking matches."

"Now let the holder of token numbers 11 and 12 enter the fighting stage!"

Two young men ascended the fighting stage and stood opposite each other.

"Begin!"

With that announcement, both disciples released their martial spirits and attacked each other.

"Mountain Smashing Palm!"

"Rock-Break Fists!"

*Bang!*

Both disciples took multiple steps back, but one was still steady in his retreat, while the other coughed out a mouthful of blood but still continued to fight regardless.

Soon, the winner was decided.

"Number 12 wins!"

"Next, numbers 13 and 14!"

"Number 13 wins!"

"Next, numbers 111 and 112 enter the fighting stage!"

"Number 111 wins!"

The battle matches continued and soon it was Arthur's turn.

"Next, number 299, Invincible, and number 300, Takat enter the battle arena!"

Arthur climbed the fighting stage and looked at his opponent.

Takat also looked at Arthur and frowned deeply. A bit of fear flashed in his eyes and he considered giving up on the spot.

"Takat? Isn't he ranked 23rd, just after Akin?"

"That's him. I was there in the previous ranking battle and from his matches then, I know he isn't any weaker than Akin and only lost by a small margin."

"But this is not a good match for him. He is unlucky as he won't be able to beat Invincible."

"Yeah, he should just admit defeat and avoid getting defeated in one move!"

Takat who was about to forfeit got angry when he heard the discussions of the crowd.

Just then he summoned his martial spirit which was a Tier 1 Profound Grade Sword Martial Spirit.

After that, he drew out the sword at his waist and entered a battle-ready state. At the same time, his cultivation level was revealed.

"Ninth Layer of the Gold Core Realm!"

"He has reached the ninth rank. Damn, his luck is really bad, if it wasn't for this matchup, he would have been able to increase his rank!"

Even then no one was optimistic about his win.

"I know you are strong. But if you think you are going to defeat me in one move as you did with Akin then you will be mistaken!"

*vroom!"

An aura spread out from Akin and the disciples were surprised when they sensed it.

"Sword Intent, Akin has comprehended sword intent!"

"It's even at the third level! I remember that he has not comprehended any intent a few months ago. How did he improve so fast!"

"I heard he went on an adventure. He must have had some fortuitous encounter."

"That is a good explanation, but still this won't be enough to win, because Invincible has also comprehended sword intent."

"But his goal isn't to win, rather he said he will not be defeated in one move."

Arthur just looked at Takat lazily and did not bother to respond.

Takat did not like the way Arthur looked at him. He felt like Arthur was treating him like trash.

So without wasting time Takat used his movement technique and attacked Arthur.

His sword enhanced by his martial spirit and sword intent arrived before Arthur but he made no attempt to dodge as though he was a bit slow to react.

'I got him!'

Just as the sword was an inch away from Arthur's body, he moved.

'North-Star Fists!'

*Bang!*

Takat didn't even see how Arthur moved and the next thing he saw was a punch to his face, and then he lost consciousness.

"Number 299, Invincible wins!"

Arthur's victory was announced and he jumped off the stage.

"Woah! Did you see that?"

"His speed was so fast I could barely see it. It appears that his strength isn't just good but so is his speed."

The disciples were surprised but not by much as they had expected Arthur to win.

"Next, let the holders of token number 12 and token number 13 enter the fighting stage!"

The matches continued and Arthur won every one of his fights with one move. Although more than half of his opponents forfeited and only some decided to fight.

Arthur saw those with a good mindset and extended an invitation to join his faction and some agreed while some of them said they were already part of a faction.

Just like that time passed and the top twenty was finally decided. And Arthur was among them.

"Now that the top twenty has been decided, we will take a break for them to recover their strength before moving on to the matches that will decide the top ten!"

The others who were ranked in the top twenty with Arthur immediately sat down cross-legged to recover their strength and also make mental preparations.

Arthur did none of that and walked to where his faction was and chatted with them.

At this time, a meeting was ongoing between the Vice-Sect Leader, the Fire Spirit Sect, and the Alchemy Association.
