ZENITH ACADEMY

All five of them immediately came out of the Imperial palace and stood outside to welcome the person.

After some time they finally saw a person who looked like an old man emanating a pressure of SS Rank strength.

" I didn't expect you would come to my daughter's birthday, Elder Robert, " said the Emperor in a respectful tone as he is one of the chief instructors of the Zenith academy directly supported by the holders of the Five Zenith thrones.

" Hahaha, well since she is the only daughter of my disciple Isabelle 

So of course I can't miss it and also I had some work in the Empire  " said Elder Robert.

When they heard the words of the Elder, the five of them had an expression of anxiety as Elder Robert hinted to them that the Zenith Academy would also be searching for the awakened person of the Holy Dragon bloodline.

" I didn't think that the Zenith academy would send one of their chief instructors to search for that person, " said the Blue Dragon patriarch in a bitter tone.

" Well the reward for the person who finds him is so precious that even I can't miss it," said the Elder Robert in envy.

When the five of them heard it, they became curious since it made the peak SS Ranked person move and when Elder Robert saw their curious eyes, he laughed and said

" Since it is confidential I can't reveal the name of the reward " 

And when the five of them heard it, they were slightly disappointed.

" But it can increase my chances to atleast 20% to advance to SSS Rank '' said Elder Robert and when five of them heard it, they had shocked expressions on their faces since those types of treasures are very rare that you can't find even one in your lifetime.

When the Emperor heard it, he immediately asked

" Elder is the treasure you are speaking belongs to body cultivation or mana cultivation " 

" Of course, it is of Body Cultivation otherwise it is of no use to me but you can also get Direct guidance from the Ice Queen, one of the Zenith seats as a reward if you are a mana cultivator," said Elder Robert since it was not a confidential matter as it was not a material reward.

When the Silver Dragon Patriarch heard it, his whole body trembled as he was a mana cultivator. 

And for a mana cultivator to get direct guidance from one of the three Archmages of the human race is already one of the highest rewards possible in the world.

" Ok now let's go and see the daughter of my disciple as I only saw her when she was born 10 years ago " 

" Yes, Elder " said the Emperor, and all of them started moving to the main hall.

Meanwhile, in the main hall everyone was eating the food and l was feeding Elizabeth as she was stubborn that she wouldn't eat anything unless I fed her.

While I was feeding her, I saw the eyes of Leon which were filled with resentment and envy as he always wanted to befriend Elizabeth and she was one of the reasons for his hate towards me.

But when I turned my eyes towards him, he immediately bent his head on the ground.

" Brother Arthur, where are you looking? " said Elizabeth when she saw that I was not paying attention to her and turned her face away.

" Sorry Elizabeth," I said suppressing my awkwardness as I was not that good at taking care of children.

" Hmph, Ok I will forgive you for this time " said Elizabeth with a bright smile and started eating again.

While I was feeding her a variety of dishes, I was not able to imagine the change in her personality of her, who was called Iron blooded Empress in the future by the people of the Empire.

" Princess Elizabeth, can't you eat yourself, 

Can't you see that Arthur also has to eat now " said Anna.

When I heard it, for the first time I thought this girl is a good person and thought of killing her painlessly in the future.

" Sorry brother Arthur," said Elizabeth cutely and I was not able to say anything to her.

" It's okay " I said and was about to continue when everyone's attention in the crowd turned towards the entrance.

Where I saw an Oldman wearing a Red colored robe that had five thrones as a symbol and was searching for someone in the crowd.

While here was a commotion on the side of nobles when the Oldman was followed by the Emperor and the four patriarchs.

I immediately used the appraisal technique of the system on him.

{ Name: Robert

Affiliation: Chief instructor of Zenith Academy 

 Age:  820 years

Body Cultivation: SS Rank ( Martial Emperor ) ( 100% progress towards Martial Saint but needs to cross the heavenly tribulation to advance )

Mana Cultivation: A Rank mana core ( Five-star mage )

Character: Calm and wise }

Even though Elder Robert had made 100% progress toward SSS Rank, he didn't cross the tribulation as one needs to have at least strength enough to block an attack of a Initial Martial Saint to cross the heavenly tribulation which is very difficult.

As the Martial Saint realm is fundamentally different compared to Martial Emperor and one initial Martial Saint can defeat 10 peak-ranked Martial Emperors with ease without using any martial arts or magic spells.

So everyone tries to search for precious resources and practice their martial arts or magic spells to the highest level to increase their chances of survival.

When Elder Robert saw Elizabeth, he had a smile on his face and immediately teleported toward us.

" Little girl, do you know me," said Robert in a kind tone looking at her as if she is his own granddaughter.

" Yes Grandpa," said Elizabeth and told how her mother used to tell her about him.

" Looks like my disciple hasn't forgotten about me," said Robert in a hearty tone.

" Well I am different from my master who came back to see his own disciple after ten years," said Aunt who suddenly came to our side after she saw her master.

Elder Robert laughed when he heard my aunt and they started talking with each other.

After some time, Elder Robert turned his eyes toward me and his eyes glowed golden in color for a few seconds.
