Just as the leaders of the Origin Sect had decided, they sent their outer sect disciples to fight against Noah and Laura's groups.

They didn't activate the killing or barrier array because they didn't want to weaken their enemies.

​​

The majority of them were merely at 2 Star Rank. There was only a single warrior at the 4 Star Rank.

The leaders had relocated to a nearby tower from where they could witness the entire fight.

However, they had no idea that this was a mistake. The leaders of the Origin Sect had left their safe base and relocated to an insecure tower.

Laura had sensed them all. She looked at Noah and informed him, "I found the strongest experts of this sect."

Before Noah could speak, many outer sect disciples of the Origin Sect rushed out of the entrance.

They saw their targets and immediately charged towards them.

"What's their peak cultivation rank?" Noah asked Laura. She was much better than him at sensing.

Laura concentrated a bit and swept her spiritual aura across all these disciples.

She then replied to Noah, "The strongest among them is only at early 3 Star Rank."

Noah nodded and then looked at their subordinates.

He spoke out, "Attack! Remember, don't kill a single one. Just hit them until they are unconscious."

"What if they accidentally die, master?" One of his subordinates asked with a worried appearance.

Noah paused and then replied, "…Nothing can be done then. Just do your best to not kill them."

With that, Noah pulled out his sword.

His subordinates were a little scared as they saw Noah pulling out his sword. They had seen that scene not a few times and were still scared when Noah pulled his sword out from his sheathe.

"We won't be fighting you later, right, Master?"

Laura was a bit speechless as she heard those words. She felt that Noah's subordinates had too many random thoughts.

However, she never expected Noah to respond with a serious voice, "If you lose, the training time will be doubled!"

"What?!" Not just his subordinates but Laura and her subordinates were shocked as well.

Noah then stared at Laura's subordinates, "You will join the training as well. Don't disappoint my Boss's expectations!"

Laura's subordinates looked at Laura with a pitiful expression. They had stayed with Noah's subordinates for long enough to know just what their training method was.

Laura spoke with a forced smile, "Just try your best, and it will be fine."

Soon, Noah's warriors charged towards those outer sect disciples. They brandished their weapons and struck first.

They were using absolutely simple attacks. Each one swung wide and attacked nearly 4 opponents at the same time.

They were at a wide distance from each other hence they didn't get in each other's way.

Around this time, Laura's subordinates readied their aim and targeted the disciples in the rear of the opponent's formation.

Most of the origin sect's disciples fought in close range. There were a few who were archers, but they had never coordinated with each other. Hence, it appeared as if only a few arrows were shot from the Origin Sect's side.

While their subordinates had begun their battle, Laura kept her eyes focused on them.

Her main task was to use her Wooden vines to protect their subordinates. Azaroth had asked her to do this since he didn't want their subordinates to die yet.

Laura was only going to take action when it was absolutely necessary. That is when one of their subordinates was about to die.

Thus, Laura had to stay extra focused since she couldn't miss even a single attack. A slight carelessness from her and one of their warriors could die.

Meanwhile, Noah had already disappeared from her side. He had another target right now.

He was sneaking towards the tower from where the leaders of the Origin Sect Branch were observing the battle.

These leaders were shocked to see how Laura and Noah's subordinates were actually winning and even dominating the battle against hundreds of outer sect disciples of the Origin Sect.

They planned to make their move and summon the inner sect disciples to join the battle.

Before they could send the signal, Noah had attacked them with his sword intent.

All these seven leaders of this branch were at 4 Star Rank.

Although Noah's Sword Qi was quite powerful, it still wasn't strong enough to kill a 4 Star Warrior in a single blow.

"What?!" The elders who had been attacked by this Sword Qi had subconsciously created a defensive aura around them.

It had protected them from the Sword Qi, but they still remembered that sharp feeling.

"Who is there?" One of the leaders shouted as if expecting the opponent to answer him.

Soon, the seven leaders saw a young boy jump into the tower. They recalled that this young boy was also leading that group.

When they sensed he was merely at the 3 Star Rank, they relaxed their guard. Even though they knew he possessed Sword Qi, they were still confident in defeating him.

They had sensed that Sword Qi and knew that it would only harm them if they weren't using their defensive aura.

"Who are you?"

"I am a Swordsman, and I have come to exchange pointers with you," Noah spoke with a cold voice.

He remembered the excuse Spyro had used to fight against random people. So Noah had always believed it to be a tradition within a sect and found it an appropriate excuse.

"…You should know who you are fighting." One of these leaders stood up and moved towards Noah.

Noah continued to move forwards as well.

After a certain distance, the two stopped.

"Even though you are extremely foolish to have come here, your guts have to be commended. Take this attack from me, and I will let you go." The elder's fist flared with orange flames.

"Flame Cloud Fist?"

The other leaders saw that attack and snorted in their hearts. They felt that this guy was too cautious.

Even though he was fighting against a kid, he used one of the best punching techniques available in the Origin Sect. His words and actions were in complete contrast.

When Noah saw that battle skill, he couldn't help but frown.

The power was far weaker than his expectations. He had fought against Laura a couple of times. He had estimated the power of a 4 Star Warrior according to Laura's strength. And the Ardor of the man ahead of him was far too weak.

Laura's Ardor was at least three times denser than this man.

Noah's grip over his sword strengthened as he prepared to use the Sword Technique taught by Azaroth.

The sword glowed with a dangerous intent as it was filled with Sword Intent.

Noah knew that he couldn't defeat a 4 Star Warrior just by using his Sword Qi or his Ardor. He had to combine all of his Sword Qi to form a dense Sword Intent.

Soon, the elder and Noah charged at each other. Both used their attacks to defeat the other person.

"Flame Cloud Fist!"

"Heaven Rending Skill!"

There was a loud sound when these two attacks clashed against each other.

Noah's body shook as he stepped back a couple of steps because of the strong impact from the Flame Cloud Fist.

However, the elder who had been struck by the Heaven Rending Skill saw his entire arm had been pierced by Noah's sword.

A couple of seconds later, he let out a loud painful scream, "AAAHhhh…!"
