Chapter II The Upcoming Storm
"What should we do? Sect Leader!"
When I heard this laughable tone and turned to look at the men who said it, I immediately knew who it was.
The Great Elder
"System? Can I see the status of other people?" I whispered in a very quiet way as to not make anyone look at me like a psychopath.
[ Host! You have unlocked your first function! ]
[ Reward: Status Window ]
( Able to see someone else's status, strength, plans, age, and more. )
[ Novice Loot ]
[ Reward: A Spirit Essence Pill ]
( Able to further increase your cultivation, can immediately increase cultivation. )
Great, not only did I gain the ability to see other peoples informations but also received a small reward for my own gain.
When I looked at the old men again, a small screen appeared next to him.
[ Status of <Wang Yishen> ]
[Cultivation: Second Stage Connate]
[Age:58]
[Identity: Great Elder of the Holy Tiger Sect]
[Motive: Wanting to embarrass Host, and finally take control over the Sect long-term.]
[Loyalty: 12]
(0-10, Wanting to kill Host anytime)
(11-20, Trying to use Host for personal gain)
(21-30, Very suspicious of Host, may attack)
(31-50, Wary of Host, but may defend him)
(51-70, Trusts him and would protect him)
(71-80, Is loyal and would fight for Host even in dangerous circumstances)
(81-99, Trusts him completely, would do a lot)
(100, Is willing to take his own life for Host)
———————————————————————
"Uff" I am a bit shocked about what I just read. He must really hate me, but his strength speaks for him, I can't do anything to him yet.
I wanted to finally say something to his comment when another man replied,
"Great Elder! How dare you speak to the Sect Leader in this way?"
The Great Elder turned a little red and wanted to shout, when he regained his former calm face and said,
"Third Elder, I know that you will stay on the Leaders side so I won't say anything, but it's not your place to accuse me."
"Mhpfh!" The third elder turned away and only growled a bit.
"Let's dismiss this meeting and talk about this time sometime else." One of the elders said and the others nodded in understanding.
Not only did the elder leave the hall but me too. Through the memories I got, i remembered that as a sect leader I of course also had my own private mansion. I returned and ordered one of the servants to not disturb me for the time being.
As I sat down on the ground, in a lotus sit, I took out the pill I received as a small novice reward.
I slowly opened my mouth and the pill flew in. As i swallowed the pill in whole, I could feel the warmth inside my stomach.
[ Collecting Spiritual Essence … ]
[ Collecting Spiritual Essence … ]
….
[ Collecting Spiritual Essence … ]
After only twenty minutes of cultivating, the screen popped out again with this message.
[ Your Spiritual Sea is full, do you wish to breakthrough? ]
"Yes i want to breakthrough!"
[ You have successfully broken through! ]
[ As it's the first time you have reached a breakthrough, you will receive a novice reward]
[ Reward: A Black Skill <Tiger Roar> ]
( The Skill, Tiger Roar, when used will intimidate the enemy and reduce their strength to 80%, only able to be used one time per enemy )
"A black skill?" As I tried to look through my memories i found the difference of skill ranks.
They were divided into Yellow, Earth, Black, Sky, Heaven. The Holy Tiger Sect that was one of the third rated sects in this kingdom, only had an early earth skill. Black Skills were already a national treasure and protected by Innate Cultivators. And now, I got such a skill as a 8th Stage Foundation Cultivation.
"Not bad, not bad." I quickly nodded and pulled out the skill scroll.
[ Do you wish to learn the black Skill
< Tiger Roar >? ]
"Yes!" I said quickly and then memories and tactics flowed into my head. It felt as if I had trained this skill for ages on ages.
"Roar!" I used the skill and a majestic roar came out from my mouth, making the worden walls shake a little, some of the servants wich were passing by, were shocked by this loud roar and immediately ran away.
"Great. This skill is really good." I whispered and then silently returned into the lotus move and continued cultivating.
[ Collecting Spiritual Essence … ]
..
[ Collecting Spiritual Essence … ]
[ Your Spiritual Sea is full, do you wish to breakthrough? ]
"Yes!" I yelled out again, excited.
[ You have successfully broken through! ]
[ You have received a mission. ]
[ Mission: As a Sect Leader you have to get a good Disciple!
( Find a Disciple with at least a 9 Star Talent )
< Reward: ??? >
"A disciple? And a talent of 9 Stars? How should I find someone like this here?"
Then I heard a knock on the front door.
"I know we are not allowed to disturb you, Sect Leader, but the Sect Disciple Tournament will begin tomorrow, and the third Elder said, you should participate and take some good seedlings under you, to strengthen your faction."
The voice entered the room and I could clearly hear everything the servant said.
Sect Disciple Tournament?
[ The Sect Disciple Tournament is hosten every year, to fill the sect with new disciples and also find some good seedlings. ]
Well, if that isn't fortunate.
"Tell the third Elder, I will come tomorrow and join him." I said and then waved my hand to signal him to leave.
"Yes Sect Leader!"
Let's see if I am able to complete this mission early on.
