Just today, Nielsen and his friend had just accepted a mission to hunt for a spirit beast. Unluckily, they bumped into this king of beasts on their way.This king of beasts was unlike the normal spirit beast. Normally, spirit beasts could absorb spiritual energy just like humans. Despite being spiritual creatures, they did not have the ability to think and little intelligence. However, the king of beasts was strong, had a strong built of body, and had the ability to think with their intelligence.After many attempts to kill the Fire Leo, they failed to hurt it. On the contrary, they were the ones who suffered injury.Seeing the Fire Leo catching up, Yaacob felt annoyed and irritated. He wondered if today was the last day he stayed alive.Suddenly, his friend shouted out loud and managed to distract Yaacob from feeling sad. "Look! It's Mister Oskar!"Yaacob looked in the direction his friend was pointing and saw the green sword flying quickly at them. He was thrilled and relieved.
Once again, Yaacob examined Severin while feeling strange. He saw there was a glow from Severin's body and his body was hot like an oven while his blood was similar to the blood of a dragon. From there, Yaacob concluded that Severin had a tough body with some kind of special constitution.After that, he cupped his hand and said, "Mister Severin. Nice to meet you."The core disciples were seen as the next sect leader, at least that was what they were trained to do. The benefits they had or their position in the sect were incomparable to the other disciples. Even an elite disciple like him would have to bow and greet Severin with respect after knowing Severin was a core disciple. Their status was different, after all.An elite disciple could only become the elder in the sect. However, the core disciples could have the chance to become the sect leader. If they were lucky, they could proceed to the legendary higher-class sect at the Grandiuno Sacred Land in Midland.Severin nodded and
Yaacob, the self-professed know-it-all of the Grandiuno Sect, claimed knowledge of everything under the sun. He bragged about having personal experience of every incident that happened in Southsky and boasted that he knew tens of thousands of people within the sect. Words poured out of him like water from a burst dam.The impression he left on Severin was that of a braggart who loved being nosy.Throughout the journey, Severin gathered information about the personal lives of several elite disciples from him. He elicited titbits such as which women the young men were interested in, and who had engaged in life-or-death battles with their rivals. He also learned about each disciple's talents, be it swordsmanship, alchemy, or other skills.Sordid details aside, Severin was able to gain a more profound understanding of the Grandiuno Sect. The sect had nine mountains, each guarded by a royal paragon. The first mountain was ranked thus because Oskar, the sect leader, resided there. No disc
The elders responsible for overseeing the area pretended not to hear the complaints from the expelled disciples. One of them bowed respectfully to Severin and said, "Greetings.""No need to be too polite," Severin replied with a wave of his hand.Oskar, who stood next to Severin, produced a green token out of thin air. He tossed the token to Severin and said, "Pearl Light Isle shall be your abode in the future. This token will allow you to freely enter and leave the island."Severin was delighted that an island was presented to him out of the blue. He had been concerned that joining the Grandiuno Sect would lead to his potential separation from Diane and the others due to their different status, but it seemed that the separation was no longer needed. Severin was grateful to Oskar for that and said, "Thank you."Oskar smiled and whipped out a small jade-colored porcelain bottle. He handed it carefully to Severin and said, "This is a sixth-grade pill known as the Spirit Condensing Pi
The more valuable ones were located on the fourth floor and above, so Oskar stated calmly. "You may head directly to the fourth floor."The elder's pupils contracted slightly, as the fourth floor housed mid-rank spiritual treasures. 'Our sect leader seems to hold this young man in rather high regard. He's only at level three supreme saint, and he was only just accepted as a core disciple. I'm rather surprised that he has been given the privilege to choose a mid-rank spiritual treasure.'Although surprised, the ninth elder remained silent. With a wave of his hand, the door of the Treasure Pavilion opened automatically behind him. "Remember, a spiritual treasure cannot be returned once selected. If you want to change your weapon, you'll need to pay at least thirty thousand spiritual stones before you are allowed to reenter the pavilion.""Thank you for your advice," Severin gestured respectfully to the elder before entering the Treasure Pavilion. He proceeded directly to the third flo
Inside the room, Severin sat cross-legged as he focused on the two jade plaques suspended in front of him. These Star-grade combat techniques, as well as the exercise, had been given by Oskar after they left the Treasure Pavilion.Oskar presented the techniques and explained everything to Severin before leaving Severin and his group alone on the vast island.Severin soon prepared for seclusion.Oskar had fulfilled his end of the bargain by providing Severin with various attainment resources regardless of Severin's identity as a new core disciple. Severin decided to familiarize himself with the two treasured weapons first, then master the combat techniques and exercises given by Oskar. The goal, naturally, was to enhance his attainment.He held the jade plaques against his forehead and channeled his consciousness through it to absorb all the information. "Star-grade mid-rank training technique: Grandiuno Treasured Notes. Provides comprehensive training and is unparalleled in killing
Oskar moved on from his surprise and sought to remedy the situation. As he opened his palm and curled his fingers inward, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand-mile radius seemed to pour right into his palm. He then directed the ball of energy toward Pearl Light Isle. The spiritual energy turned into rainfall that covered the surrounding area and replenished what Severin had drained.Oskar then used his divine sense to relay a message to the restless disciples on the Fifth Mountain. "Remain calm. He is the newly promoted sixth core disciple, and he is in seclusion."The words were like a bombshell that sparked a flurry of discussion on the Fifth Mountain. "The sixth core disciple? Since when did we have a sixth core disciple?""One of the seniors who returned from Pearl Light Isle said that the sixth core disciple is someone with a divine constitution who had been recruited from the sacred lake. Our sect leader made an exception and gave him the position of co
Some of those individuals were among the top ten prodigies on the list. Needless to say, to achieve the status of an elite disciple in the Grandiuno Sect requires extraordinary strength. Each one of them was at least a level six supreme saint, and they formed the backbone of the sect even though there were not a lot of them. Each of them was strong enough to become a pillar of a smaller sect.In contrast to Shyam and the many other elite disciples who harbored jealousy toward Severin after he became the sixth core disciple, the five great core disciples were more curious about Severin than anything.Inside a well-tended garden courtyard on the Sixth Mountain sat a woman wearing a blue gown. She sat cross-legged next to a cauldron and had an aqua-blue silk bow tied around her waist. A gold hairpin adorned her long black hair, and white boots embroidered with gold silk completed her outfit. Her fair ankles were visible, and they seemed to complement her cold and beautiful appearance. H
