On the Battle stage, the battle was very intense, but the situation was one-sided. To be able to reach here, Sabine had to rely on her strength and not her appearance. Every she was very strong.
But when going against James, Sabine immediately fell into an unfavorable situation.
"James has great talent." On the high platform, a few elders watched the battle and chatted.
"Of course. James's Star Explosion Fist has already reached an extremely deep level of comprehension. Look at that force, it is so powerful!"
"James's potential and strength is one of the best amongst the disciples." An elder said.
"One of the most? I think James's potential is the best."
The group of elders chatted while the Great Elder watched the battle with squinted eyes.
The elders chatted casually but intentionally ignored Alex. It seemed that they were chatting, but most of the time they were discussing who would enter the core sect and become the only core disciple.
The battle on the Battle Stage continued for around two minutes until James completely displayed his might. Finally, Sabine was defeated and blown away from the stage. Luckily, Alex caught her.
This time, as if on purpose, James displayed another type of Mid-Grade Celestial Rank Combat Skill.
The crowd once again started to discuss. If there were no surprises, then the core disciple should be chosen between Alex and James.
Judging from the current situation, the two of them seemed to have the same talent.
Be it either James or Alex, none of them has shown any sort of weakness till now. James was really well hidden, but Alex seemed to have completely surpassed everyone's expectations. The strength he displayed previously was terrifying. It was not something that a Mid-Grade Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior should have.
In every disciple's heart, they knew very well that Alex is the strongest here, but for some reason, none of them wanted Alex to become the core disciple.
Maybe, it might be because they have never seen Alex before, and James seemed to have some sort of special status.
Of course, Sabine might be another reason as well.
"The next battle, Alex versus Sabine!"
When Sabine's Spirit Energy recovered, the voice of an elder came from the high platform once again.
This time, Sabine was very decisive, "I admit defeat."
It was an unexpected but reasonable decision. It only stirred up some ripples in the crowd.
After that, everyone's gazes turned toward Alex and James. If nothing unexpected happened, the result of this battle would decide who would be the one to enter the core sect.
The winner would become the core disciple and the loser will become Inner Disciple.
As James stepped onto the Battle Stage, Alex also slowly followed him.
On the Battle Stage, the two of them looked at each other with incomparably calm eyes.
Below the Battle Stage, everyone's gaze was fixed on the two people.
"That's right!" Serah said softly in the distance. It was unknown how many times she had praised Alex today. At the side, Elmer's eyes had already turned cold.
In Elmer's heart, Serah could only praise him. In his heart, in addition to a sliver of jealousy, there was also an indescribable sense of danger from when she admired Alex.
All of the elders' gazes had also landed on the two people from Battle Stage. The winner would appear between them.
With a dull thud, a battle broke out. This battle was even more intense than the previous ones.
The fierce tiger's roars resounded continuously. Three moves of Fierce Tiger Fist were struck out one after another. James used his full strength the moment they appeared.
"Star Explosion Fist."
James did not stop. He also unleashed the Star Explosion Fist and used his movement skills to move faster. The Spirit Energy around his body surged even more rapidly, as if it could explode at any time.
And in response, Alex simply waved his hand. He did not use his Chaos Energy, just the strength of his physical body to collide against James' attacks.
A clashing voice rang out as the entire Battle stage began to shake.
"Alex has such a strong physique that he could actually defend against James' attack without even using Spirit Energy." On the high platform, an elder could not help but exclaim.
"James is also not bad as well. His strength is very strong, and his comprehension of the Combat Skills are also very profound."
Alex was now getting bored. He no longer thought of hiding his strength longer. A powerful aura burst out of his body just like the eruption of lava, causing great pressure to descend that locked onto James, causing him to kneel on the platform with a "thud" sound.
All the elders watching from the high platform were shocked. It was not just them but all the disciples as well. If there was someone who was not shocked, then it was Henry.
Henry's eyes lit up when he saw Alex was finally displaying his true strength. It was not just Alex but even Henry was bored.
The Great Elder's also nodded his head in approval and muttered: "He really has terrifying strength. Although he is just an Extreme-levelled Celestial Phenomenon Stage martial warrior, that pressure is making even me feel a threat of some sort."
On the Battle Stage, James struggled to raise his head and looked at Alex in shock and fear. He knew Alex was powerful from his previous performances, but he never expected him to be powerful enough to make him kneel just from his aura alone.
When he raised his head, he saw Alex's eyes that were looking down on him from above, and a cold chill ran down his spine. He shuddered for some reason. He felt as if he was being stared at by a monster.
Alex spoke: "Why don't you admit defeat?"
James was too shocked to give him a response. But when Alex asked again, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I... I admit defeat!"
And when he spoke these four words, the mountain-like pressure disappeared completely.
And the result was soon announced.
"The final winner is Alex White!"
The moment this announcement was made, the crowd was shocked once again. A huge wave of discussion came into action.
Henry nodded in satisfaction, stood up from his seat, and went back first. He already saw what he wanted, so there was no reason for him to stay here anymore.
He was planning to make Alex his subordinate. But he was completely unaware that Alex was destined to fly high above everyone else, how could he become his subordinate?
The Great Elder stepped forward at this moment and announced: "The final outcome of this inner sect competition is in front of everyone. There is no need to explain anything. Other than Alex White, everyone else is an Inner Sect Disciple. The top disciples will receive the promised reward."
"Now, I announce, Alex White is the champion of this competition, thus proving his strength. He is qualified to become the core disciple of our Fourth Mountain Peak."
And just like that, Alex became the core disciple of the Nine Star Mountain Sect.
Alex was soon given all his rewards and allocated a place to stay.
At first, Alex expected the place he would stay will be a courtyard, but he was surprised to find that it was a cave in the mountain. But there was everything present inside the cave. There was a comfortable bed, a wide empty area, a table and a few chairs, and even a small lake present inside the cave. The cave had a total of three partitions.
The first part was his bedroom where the above-mentioned things were present other than the lake. The second part had another room-like environment where he could welcome guests. The third part had a lake and green land.
Alex looked at his attribute panel after sitting on the bed.
