”Match Start!”

Both Charya and Matthew suddenly appeared in the middle of the arena. Matthew thrust his spear toward her. Responding to that, Charya used her sword to deflect it before spinning her body once and cut him.

Matthew tried to block her attack with the handle of his spear, but it still managed to graze his body a bit, leaving a wound on his chest. Blood started seeping through the wound, making a red spot on his fancy clothes. Normally, people would frown or make serious expressions after he/she got injured. But Matthew only smiled when he got injured.

”!!!” Suddenly, Charya felt something wrong. She felt a bit hot on her cheek before she realized Matthew managed to graze her cheek with his spear. She smirked as she wiped the wound with her finger. She said to Matthew, ”Not bad.”

”Of course.” Matthew nodded.

”Then, I can take this more seriously,” Charya said. She jumped toward him again while swinging her sword.

Matthew felt something wrong with this swing. He immediately raised his spear and blocked her sword with both of his hands.

”Strong…” Matthew finally felt Charya's power. Although he had expected that she would be a powerful opponent, he never expected Charya's strength surpassed his imagination.

He looked at Charya's Sword that had been covered by Sword Intent. It looked like she used her full strength in that swing as he could see that his spear bent a little. He then sent a kick toward her.

Seeing that, Charya retreated back before she saw Matthew's spear coming from the left. She deflected the spear with her strength before leaping to the sky.

A giant blade then appeared above her. The giant blade moved toward Matthew as Charya swung her sword down.

”Sun Beam!”

Matthew tapped the ground with his spear twice. As soon as he did that, the spear started glowing brightly.

”Spear of Light.” Matthew thrust his spear toward the giant blade. Both Martial Arts seemed to be equal, but because Charya had a height advantage, Matthew got a bit suppressed by her sword. Especially when a crater appeared beneath his feet.

After clashing for a while, he finally destroyed Charya's giant sword. He then thrust his spear once again and shot out a laser like attack toward Charya.

”Penetrating Light.”

Seeing that, Charya smiled. She shifted her sword a bit and waved it as a Sword Wave flew from her sword.

”Seven Stars Cut.”

The overbearing Sword Wave also influenced the atmosphere around the arena, making it hard to breathe for ordinary people. If not because of the barrier, they might die just by feeling this pressure radiated by the Sword Wave.

The people knew it was the same Seven Stars Cut that the disciples from Heavenly Sword Sect had used, but as one would expect from an Elder. The pressure and energy contained in that Sword Wave alone managed to shake the ground a bit before it clashed.

”!!!” Matthew realized that she was baiting him to use that attack. After using that attack, he would not have time to move his body.

The Sword Wave started splitting the laser attack into two. Slowly but surely, the Sword Wave made its way toward Matthew, making his heart skip a beat.

Just before it reached him, he shifted his spear and let it clash against the Sword Wave. Little did he know the power inside that Sword Wave surpassed his imagination. With that little contact, he was pushed down. He tried to break the powerful sword wave. Sadly, he slowly fell to his knees before the Sword Wave completely pinned him down to the ground.

The arena started to crack before making a giant crater because of the strong force emanating from the Sword Wave.

Unfortunately, it did not stop there. The Sword Wave kept pushing him down until his bone started breaking because of the sword. He already knew that Heavenly Sword Sect managed to recover their true Heaven Tier Martial Art because Luna had informed him a year ago. He also had watched the disciples using that move.

Nonetheless, a disciple would only be a disciple. They could not be compared to an elder. This time, he finally felt that the attack was beyond his imagination. It was especially true since it was Charya who used it. After all, even on 9-Star Martial Lord, beside the elders with 10-Star Martial Lord Cultivation, no one would be able to rival her strength.

He finally realized how powerful a Heaven Tier Martial Art was, and for the only influence who had a Heaven Tier Martial Art, Heavenly Sword Sect was really dangerous.

”Don't underestimate me.” Matthew used another surge of strength to destroy this Sword Wave.

”Bam!”

He finally managed to break the Sword Wave, but it cost him greatly. He got a few internal injuries just by blocking that. He stood up again as soon as he broke the Sword Wave, ignoring the pain in his body.

He looked at Charya, ”As expected of Elder Charya… No, Should I say as expected from a Thunder Princess of Heavenly Sword Sect?”

Charya made a frown, hearing that title. It was an old title she got when wandering the continent. She fought many people with her Sword and Lightning. And before she knew it, she was already called Thunder Princess by others.

After fighting a powerful person and getting a scar on her face, she finally settled down in the sect, and that name started to disappear from the people's memory. But to think someone remembered that name, she could not help but feel astonished.
