Chapter 14: The sect master
Chapter 14: The sect master
"I need to show this to the sect master, right now." He muttered as Elder Sun surrounded me with his Qi and brought me with him to what I assumed was the Sect Masters location.
About 20 seconds in, I saw a confused Jiang Chen also flying with us.
Eventually, we reached a massive door, and Elder Sun stopped in the door, and looked at it. Probably waiting for the Sect Masters permission to enter the place.
Eventually, he opened the door and brought us both in.
The first thing I did was use Identify.

Talent: 8
Overall evaluation: A young genius who was betrayed by the one who he loved in the path of cultivation, eventually filled with heart demons and unable to cutivate. His cultivation base has regressed to the Half-Step Lord stage from the Half-Step King stage]
"Are these the 2 geniuses you mentioned? Hmm, this one named Jiang Chen…it is possible for him to be the next sect master. He even has… A BATTLE AURA!?"
I was confused, so I used inform on Jiang Chen after a long while.

Seems like he got something broken in the time I was not here. His cultivation itself did not increase, but his power did by a lot.
His luck also increased 10 fold. It seems like it will go up more as he advances in cultivation bases.
Elder Sun had a shocked look on his face. It seemed like he did not realize that this happened as well.
"Jiang Chen, have you learnt the Elemental Star Burning Arts yet? What level are you on?" The sect master got off of his chair and asked.
"I have a Sect Master, I am also at the beginner level." Jiang Chen replied.
"The beginner level in 1 week. Good. GOOD, you can definitely save the sect, the heavens have not abandoned us yet." The sect master mumbled.
"Sect master, while I understand that Jiang Chen has battle aura and reached the beginner level of the Elemental Star Burning Arts…Zhou Feng here has mastered it." Elder Sun spoke.
"WHAT? Elder Sun, you're not lying are you?" The sect master asked as he walked towards me.
Elder Sun tapped on my shoulder and asked me to show it to the sect master, and just like before, I brought some Qi out of my body and it took flame-like properties for a second.
"This definitely is not a lie, according to the manual, only after perfecting the art can one do this. Even I have not reached this stage yet, I have given up hundreds of years ago. But now we have a problem, Elder Sun… Elder Sun, bring the other peak Elders here, I wish to talk to Jiang Chen and Zhou Feng in private."
Elder Sun nodded and left.
The sect master looked at Jiang Chen and asked," Jiang Chen, while you seem to be more talented then Zhou Feng here in cultivation, I am sorry to say I am going to have to go with him to be the next sect leader. This is because a long time ago, the previous ancestors said that the next sect leader has to master the Burning Star Elemental Arts. They were able to prophesy that the one who masters the art will bring it to higher heights and bring out the sect to glory."
"Zhou Feng, would you like to be my personal disciple? I will teach you many cultivation arts and give you as many resources as you need to break through. In return, I hope you reach the Holy Lands, become stronger, and bring our sect up to great heights as well."
I looked at the sect master and did not say anything.
Everything was happening so fast, but eventually he thought things through.
He did not want to be tied down to some dog water place in the middle of nowhere.
From what he knew, and from a protagonist's destiny, this is probably the lowest realm in all the lower realms, the same going to be for the middle and higher realms I reach in the future.
I can't let myself be tied down here.
But…that does not mean I can't just use them then leave.
I can just be the sect master, bring them up a bit, in return for draining all their resources, then leaving eventually.
Alright it's decided.
"Please accept this disciples kowtow, master," I said as I fell on my knees.
Jiang Chen himself had no visible reaction to what was going on, but I could tell that he was not happy with me kneeling.
Calm down Jiang Chen, there will come a time when everyone else will kneel in front of us, just not right now.
"HAHAHA, stand up my disciple," the sect master said.
As soon as I stood up, I got a notification from the system.
[You have acquired the title, Young Master of the Fire Fist sect]
At the next moment, the doors to the sect master's place blasted open, as a kid with long blond hair walked into the room with his head held high.
Behind him, was what seemed like the master of the Martial Arts hall.
"Who dares arrogantly barge into my room!" The sect master shouted,
"You never had the time to meet me, yet you meet this trash??" Said the kid.
Yup, he is definitely a young master.
