Imparting knowledge

Kong Xiang and Master Fei discussed for some hours, after which Master Fei dismissed him. Kong Xiang found himself greatly benefiting from his Master's teachings as he analyzed his explanations in such a way that aligned with Kong Xiang's philosophical thinking mind

"There is only so much I can teach you. At the end of the day, you have to depend on yourself" He was sent off with these words. Kong Xiang reappeared at the entrance of the Vanquishing Sea and made his way home.

A certain disciple spotted Kong Xiang going back to his Chambers, and he hastened to send a voice transmission to Mo Nian.

"How is he still alive?" A livid Mo Nian shouted angrily, his chest heaving. He expected Kong Xiang to be dead already, giving that Elder Huo had informed him she would take action a few hours earlier. He brought out a transmission card and tried to contact her.

"It is not working." A faint feeling of dread started to affect him. Some of his maidservants in the house heard his angry grunts and rushed in to pacify him.

Kong Xiang went straight to the Sect Leader and told him that Elder Huo had tried to kill him, only to be exterminated by a lightning bolt from the Vanquishing Sea. He intended to hide the parts about his Master, but Qin Yu told him he was aware as soon as it happened, having been informed by an Elder supervising the Soul Lamps of the Sect Personnel.

"I was also warned by a mysterious voice not to pursue what happened, and to not make things difficult for you, so I'm guessing there is an existence in the Vanquishing Sea that has taken a liking to you" Qin Yu said slyly. Kong Xiang was quite shocked. "I'd advise you to go to the Vanquishing Sea more often, who knows, this person might reward you with good fortune, maybe even take you as his disciple."

Kong Xiang grinned slyly like Qin Yu and excused himself. Qin Yu stared at his retreating figure and his grin faded slowly, turning grim. When Elder Huo's Soul Lamp faded, he had tried to extend his Sense to the Vanquishing Sea when a ruthless force crushed it immediately. He had withdrawn it, just as he received a Stern warning from Master Fei.

"I hope this mysterious existence in the Sect has good intentions." In truth he was over thinking as Master Fei had been sleeping in the Vanquishing Sea before the Sect was even founded, but he didn't know that.

Kong Xiang decided to take more time to focus less on increasing his cultivation and focus more on sorting out his martial techniques and Law comprehension. For one, he had to get some comprehensive Seal Arts and notes to fortify his knowledge on Seal Domain. He also had to get more Cultivation Techniques for his elemental affinities. For now, he intended to keep Sango Form as his Trump card.

"And the Battle Royale!" He thought. Some of the segments of the competition took place in secret realms and sub spaces where unique treasures of different effects abounded, and Kong Xiang hoped he would find some that would help him gain Earth and Metal Attributes. Master Fei had promised to help him modify his atavistic meridian system once he had all the affinities.

He intended to leave the Sect in a month to train before the start of the competition too. He took the competition very seriously, and he was certain Li Luo would be there too, so he would finally have the opportunity to see her again. At the same time, he did not intend to lose out to her as she was probably in a bigger Sect with access to large resources.

"I have to grow stronger."
