The old demon said "Stand in front of me". When Leo stood on the platform his tattoo glowed red just like before, but this time Leo felt something dangerous behind him.
Leo turned around to check, he trembled in fear when he saw what it was and he was sure that anyone would feel the same.
It was a dragon and it was a race known to be so powerful they could rule the entire universe, but thousands of years ago they suddenly vanished without a trace.
It was like they never existed, but the tombs they created was enough proof for their existence.
The dragon behind Leo looked alive, yet it was dead at the same time. The dragon was like a furnace, it's body was covered in red hot flames and if Leo got closer to it he might just burn to death. Leo took a closer look and he noticed, the dragon's crimson red scales.
"I see, now I know why my real body died. I had found someone important and decided that you have the most talent out of the other candidates. I can't believe you just started cultivating earlier, come here and I'll check the progress of your training", said the old demon in his astonishment.
Leo walked closer to the old demon, he noticed that the dragon tattoo was now on his arms and it was like the tattoo itself was alive.
The tattoo glowed crimson red like the dragon, the old demon touched it and it stopped glowing. Something unexpected also happened right after.
There was suddenly some kind of panel, it was like the ones that appeared in games. The words on the panel were...
[Name: Leonardo Redfrost] [Race: Human] [Gender: Male] [Age: 15]
[Rank(Clan): Clan Successor(Hidden)]
[Title/s: None Existent]
[Tournaments Won: 0]
[Virtual Battles Won: 0]
[Cultivation Realm: True Dragon's Leap]
[Cultivation Level: None (Max)]
[Cultivation Technique/s: Red Dragon Transformation]
[Martial Skill/s: Demon's Wrath (48% Mastery), Lightning Blade (0% Mastery), Fire Manipulation (39% Mastery), and Quick Steps (79% Mastery)].
Leo asked the old demon "What does True Dragon's Leap mean?".
The old demon answered "True Dragon's Leap only happens to cultivators that use dragon cultivation techniques or dragons themselves, well it also happens to those umm... useless monsters you fight when you try to fish using an old fishing rod from a certain game".
Leo understood what the old demon said, but he was wondering what he meant by useless monster.
Leo noticed that he could also check the percentage of his skill mastery, he thought about something and then he asked "Is it possible for me to open this umm... panel any time, anywhere? if so could you tell me how to?".
The old demon quickly answered "Young master Leo, it is possible to do it and all you need to do is simply wish to see this panel. The panel will instantly form in front of you, the only people that could see it are you and your fiancée".
The old demon had noticed the rank of this person that was standing right before him and so he changed his attitude towards him, Leo's rank was only the third highest rank. With the Clan Master being the first and the guardians of the clan, which is usually people that have become half immortal.
Leo wondered what he the old demon meant when he said fiancée and so he asked "Umm... what do u mean by fiancée?".
The old demon heard his question and his face turned pale when he heard Leo's question, he uttered "Young master that is not important right now, when the time comes you yourself will know who it is".
Leo did not argue with the old demon, he knew that there was probably a reason why he did not tell him and it was also a fact that Leo respects another person's opinion.
The old demon spoke "Now then young master Leo, we shall move to the 40th floor and get the possible rewards for a person with the cultivation of Dragon Leap", Leo got excited as he wondered what treasures await him.
The old demon uttered "Please do not step out of the platform, if you think we will use the elevator you are mistaken. The elevator is just a trap for those who try to steal from the clan and I myself know that you will not steal anything".
The old demon snapped his finger, the platform gave out a bright light the next instant and it swallowed Leo whole.
Leo felt like he became blind, but the next second he was happy that he could see again.
He excitedly checked his surroundings with the hope of seeing powerful treasures and he also wanted to know how much treasures there were on this floor. Reality stroke too hard though as there was hardly any treasures lying around.
As if the old demon heard his thoughts, said"Do not worry young master Leo, there are hundreds of treasures in this single floor. Look to your left and right, can you see the end of this hallway? No right, so let's just be patient and search for treasures that are compatible with you".
Leo heaved a sigh of relief, he said "Oh great, I thought that all the treasure in this floor didn't even reach 30".
The old demon walked to the right and so Leo followed, but when he took a step to the right he felt that something or someone was calling him.
Leo looked around to check where it came from and noticed that there was some thin thread that was barely visible. The faint glow it released gave the feeling of holiness and safety.
Leo mumbled to himself "Should I follow this? Well I should check it nonetheless", he walked towards where the thread was coming from and he walked towards the left side.
The old demon just kept walking on the right side, he turned around only to see that Leo was not there.
The old demon was about to panic when he remembered that there was an evil treasure here that was searching for a worthy wielder, so he ran straight to the left side of the hallway.
It had not been a while since Leo left so he was able to catch up quickly, the old demon stopped in front of Leo.
Leo noticed him and asked "I feel like something is calling me, is it fine if I check what it is?".
The old demon remembered that while the evil treasure was in the same direction, it was also the direction of another set of powerful treasures.
The old demon uttered "Can it be you are being called by one of the ranked weapons", he started laughing and then he told Leo "Yes you can go maybe, just maybe you'll get something good".
When they reached the area where the ranked weapons were stored Leo suddenly stopped, in front of him was a weapon.
Leo went closer to the ranked weapon and this action made the old demon think "Yes I must be right, but why is it a bow?", so he frowned.
The ranked weapons needed the wielder to have 100% compatibility with a martial skill connected to the weapon, but the old demon knew that Leo did not have any skills like that.
The old demon was dumbfounded at the moment, he was really curious as to why it would call Leo.
Leo took the bow and he put it against the wall, this action made the old demon confused once more.
Leo was looking at the box that the bow was placed on, it was being used like a pedestal earlier but now it was being regarded as something even better than the ranked treasure.
The people of the Red Dragon Clan always thought that it was just a normal pedestal meant for the bow, so no one actually cared to check the box and this leaded to Leo being the one to find it.
Leo opened the box and he looked surprised, the box only contained one treasure and that treasure was a pendulum.
The pendulum had a pair of dragon wings as design, one of the wings was colored red while the other was blue. There was a pair of dragons inside of the crystal and their colors were the same as the wings, if one looked closer they would notice that the wings were connected to the dragon. It was quite dazzling yet strange.
Leo took the pendulum from the box and wore it, he asked the old demon "Do you know what this pendulum can do?".
The old demon answered "Young master Leo that pendulum you are wearing is a treasure that I do not have any information of, maybe if the founder was still alive he could answer that question of yours".
Leo seemed happy at what he found and asked "Will this be counted as one of the four treasures?".
The old demon answered Leo's question "Young Master Leo do not worry we will not count it, no one knew that there was a treasure there so in my eyes this is a treasure that is not from the rewards hall".
The old demon thought "This brat is so shameless if he wasn't the clan successor I would not give it to him, but he still needs to get stronger. This treasure might be unknown to me but I sense a powerful power coming from it, maybe it could also protect him some how".
Leo obtained four more treasures, the first treasure or rather treasures was a pair of gauntlets and it was made of black demon scales. It was called 'Demon Scales', it was a simple name but it was also a fitting one.
The scales came from a specific type of demon that could shed skin, it was a type of snake demon and this specific demon was notoriously known as the impenetrable demon.
The ability it had was the ability to turn into armor, it could cover the wearer's whole body and it could be used as a disguise.
Leo thought it was perfect to get this treasure, he could hide the fact that it was him that did something and also protect his family at the same time.
The second treasure that Leo obtained was a katana that was shaped like a lightning bolt, it's ability was simply one that could generate electricity. It was simply called 'Lightning Strike'. Every ten or so seconds the blade itself produced sparks, at least that's what the old demon said.
The third treasure was an earring, it was shaped like a fireball and it's ability was to generate fire whenever Leo wished. Just like how it looks it was called 'Fireball'.
Leo thought "Isn't this kinda useless when I master the skill?", the old demon noticed Leo's reaction and he said "Young Master Leo this treasure doesn't need the use of world energy".
This made Leo think about it again "This would mean I could use the mastered [Fire Manipulation] skill, even without fire on my surrounding and it could also help me train", his expression changed from gloomy to extreme joy.
The fourth treasure was a pair of boots, it was a commonly used treasure for supporting movement skills and it was called 'Rocket Boots'. The pair of boots had all sorts of functions, one of it being the ability to boost the wearer's leg strength.
Leo asked the old demon "May I ask if the clan has any money that I could use, don't worry I won't use the money on useless things and only use it to help me in cultivation".
The old demon thought "This brat is truly shameless, but I guess I still have to help him. Even if I still don't completely trust that he won't use it on games".
The old demon said "Young master here get this 30 3digital coins, you should also buy a VR device and earn money yourself. Oh right, here", he threw something that looked similar to a coin.
The coin was jet black in color and it has a red dragon embedded on it, on the other side it had the word Red Dragon Trials.
"Young master, you should go back here once you properly reach the World Energy Fusion realm" said the old demon.
Leo finished collecting everything and left the spatial world right after.
He checked the time and noticed that it was already 3:00 am in the morning so he rushed to his bed and slept, he still had to help his mom tomorrow and so he needed to get up earlier than her.
He forgot one thing though, his clothes has turned into rags.
