The Next Realm.

After finishing my overreaction to the situation ,I went over and took the kid as my disciple. It was easy considering the fact that his grandpa had yet to wake up. I took him as my disciple and started training him. Learning his name was Xiao Zhujiao. I found that he was actually level 1 ,not 0. Probably from the fact that he had begun his journey as a martial artist ,but the old grandpa sucked the strength out of him. I can guess that his full strength when he was alive was Peak Stage Dao Warrior Realm. But he feels slightly weaker than me. I saw that the kids potential was actually completely average. I didn't even know you could score 6.5 on the potential rating. Maybe the old grandpa has something to do with this.

-----------------------------------------------------------

After another year of training ,the kid was quickly jumped to the level 50 milestone. I was given 5 skill points for all of his rewards. Probably cause it's the only reward useful to me at these levels. Seeing Qin Ya approaching Rank-9 ,made him a little excited. Maybe 3 disciples at Rank-9 may give him a good surprise. After maxing out the Earthly Essence Skill at Level 10. As he had 9 Points left he chose to look at the next Defense Branch Skill. After buying the previous [Earthly Essence] Skill ,the other branch locked itself off and no more skills can be bought from that skill tree. Suddenly the Skill Tree branched off into two paths again.

[Earth Core(Lv.0) - Defensive Support Branch Skill Tree: Grants 1% Earthen Dao Type Comprehension Boost Per Proficiency Level. Skill Point Cost: 5]

[Earthen Body(Lv.0) - Offensive Support Branch Skill Tree: Grants 1% Earthen Dao Essence Boost Per Proficiency Level. Skill Point Cost: 5]

Only being able to pick 1 for now ,I chose to pick The [Earth Core] Skill. Just for the fact that I will be able to cultivate faster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another uneventful year passed by. Cultivating in seclusion. Checking the status panel. Taking in another disciple. It seems that Xiao Zhujiao has almost broken through to Rank-9 Martial Master. After Qin Ya reached Rank-9 ,I gained an opportunity to evolve my essence. Obviously ,I succeeded and gained the Essence Of Obstinance. After gaining it ,I continued to comprehend a strand of Saint Intent. After a strange force became present ,my comprehension broke forward and I was able to comprehend all the way to Rank-3 Saint Intent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I had checked my Determination Skill after my breakthrough ,because I felt something was off about my breakthrough. I had waited so long and it went perfectly fine. It couldn't have gone better. But I had to know.

[Determination - Quite Fun ..... :D - Level-Up Requirement: Kindness.]

I'm pretty sure that's even less of a description than last time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

With the addition of my Saint Intent or my Essence evolving ,I can feel that I'm inching close to the next realm. After another 5 years of seclusion ,I have reached 23 years old. In those 5 years I spent 1 year nurturing a new disciple for the Fifth City. After that ,I went into seclusion in order to prepare for my breakthrough to the next realm. I had also trained my Saint Intent to Rank-6.

(A/N: It took around a year to nurture each disciple. He was 13 when we started. He was 18 after he took in Long Jun{Fifth Disciple}. 5 more years and he be 23.)
