2023-09-10 14:52:57Arion closed his eyes, concentrating deeply as he tried to sense the inner energy that had eluded him for so long. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he struggled to connect with the energy within. The atmosphere grew tense as seconds turned into minutes, and Arion's frustration became palpable.
Fleming watched patiently. He knew that unlocking one's inner energy was a journey filled with obstacles.
Just as Arion was about to give up hope, Fleming extended his hand towards him. "Welcome to my sect," he said, his voice carrying an air of authority.
In that pivotal moment, as Fleming welcomed Arion to the sect, a translucent window popped up in Arion's vision, like an intricate piece of ancient parchment. It displayed his progress and achievements:
Quest Completed: Join a sect
Reward: Promotion to Martial Apprentice and Invisibility Elixir
Fleming nodded, casually asking, "And what shall I call you, young one?"
Arion, still overwhelmed by the moment, replied with a hint of excitement in his voice, "I am Arion, Master."
Arion couldn't contain his gratitude. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master."
Fleming nodded, acknowledging Arion's gratitude. "You've shown great promise, Arion. Now, let me show you to your room where you can contemplate your journey within my sect."
With that, Fleming guided Arion through the intricate corridors of the sect's headquarters. The place seemed both ancient and tranquil, as if it had been waiting for Arion to arrive and fill its empty halls with purpose.
Finally, they arrived at Arion's room, a simple yet tranquil space. "Here is your room, Arion," said Fleming. "Take some time to settle in and contemplate your newfound abilities."
Arion entered the room, grateful for the opportunity to gather his thoughts. As he began to explore his new living space, he noticed a small table with a few basic ingredients for cooking—a bag of rice, some vegetables, and a pot.
"Master," Arion said, turning to his sect leader, "Thank you for providing the essentials. I appreciate your guidance and hospitality."
Fleming smiled warmly. "You're welcome, Arion. Prepare yourself a meal, eat well, and rest. Tomorrow, we will begin recruiting new disciples into my sect, and you will play a pivotal role in this process. Prepare yourself for the responsibilities that await, and embrace the path of the warrior with diligence and honor."
After Sect Master Fleming had shown Arion to his room and closed the door, Arion took a moment to check his surroundings. His new living space was simple yet comfortable, with a small table, a bed, and a window that allowed a view of the sect's courtyard.
As Arion stood in his new room, he decided to check his system panel. Without a second thought, the familiar interface appeared in his mind, displaying the vital information that had guided him through his adventures in Nova:

Arion couldn't ignore the small, intricate ring given to him by Jude.
This ring not only conceals his demi-human scent but also serves as a means of contacting Jude in times of need or when critical information arises.
As he stood alone in his chamber, the ring's presence weighed on his mind like a heavy secret.
With a deep breath, Arion decided to make the bold choice and contact Jude. His thoughts focused on the ring, and with that mental command, the room seemed to shift. An ethereal projection of Jude's stern face materialized before him, bathed in a soft, otherworldly glow.
"Elder," Arion began hesitantly, "I joined the Tiger Claw Sect."
With a deep breath, he steadied himself. "I'm certain, Elder," he replied, his voice laced with unwavering conviction. "Fleming is not a Martial Spirit. He even claimed he's on the brink of a breakthrough himself."
Jude's gaze sharpened, his eyes boring into Arion's. His presence, even as a projection, felt imposing and intense. "Are you sure? This information is crucial."
Arion nodded.
"Is that so?" Jude's voice carried a chilling undertone, his anger simmering beneath the surface. "I shall deal with him accordingly."
With those ominous words, the projection of Jude flickered and vanished, leaving Arion alone in his chamber, the weight of his decision settling like a heavy shroud. He knew that the consequences would be severe if he were to get caught, but he could care less. He had just set a series of irreversible events into motion, the full extent of which no one could comprehend.
Moments later, a distant rumble filled the air. Arion looked up to the sky and saw a figure approaching at incredible speed. It was Jude, flying towards the Tiger Claw Sect like a wrathful deity.
Jude's voice echoed across the sect grounds, commanding attention and fear. "Fleming, come out and meet your death!"
Fleming, puzzled and cautious, stepped forward, not recognizing Jude. "Who are you, and what is the meaning of this intrusion?"
Jude's laughter reverberated through the air. "You are looking for death, and I am here to deliver it."
With that, the battle began.

Quest Log:- [Hidden Quest - Completed] - "Find the Father of the Mysterious Eggs" (Rank: Unique) - Find and identify the father of the mysterious eggs. - Reward: Qi Cultivation TechniqueThe system interface displayed a notification, indicating that the quest had been successfully fulfilled.Following the completion of the quest, Arion's reward came in the form of a Qi Cultivation technique. As the mystical knowledge washed over him, it unraveled the secrets of Qi and the intricate art of cultivation. This newfound understanding offered him a comprehensive view of the path of cultivation, starting with the foundational stage known as Qi Condensation.The realm of Qi Condensation was not a monolithic entity but rather a finely layered structure comprising ten distinct levels, stretching from the humble 1st layer to the revered 10th layer of Qi Condensation. Yet, to embark upon this profound journey, an individual needed a unique and innate talent. They must possess the rare gift t
Father
Arion directed his gaze toward the interface of his system panel, and there, he found an intriguing update. It displayed the countdown timer for his Emperor's Decimation skill, and he was startled to see that a full 20 minutes remained before the power of this skill waned.Emperor's Decimation, he mused, was nothing short of formidable. It wasn't just a skill that granted him the might of a Peak Martial Emperor's strike; it was something far more profound. With the activation of this skill, he was gifted the agility and abilities of a Martial Emperor, effectively allowing him to move and function as if he held that exalted rank. What set this skill apart, making it all the more intimidating, was the peculiar feature that enabled him to manipulate time. Arion had the power to halt the countdown timer at will, giving him control over the duration of the skill's effect.Recalling the very first time he had tested this skill, he marveled at its enigmatic nature. Upon his arrival at the se
Unique
As Arion contemplated the unusual proposal he had put forth to Zayn and Kyle, a deeper, more sinister motivation began to emerge. He couldn't help but acknowledge that these two individuals were, in a sense, tainted by the shadowy complexities of their past lives. Their shared attribute of reincarnation hinted at a level of maturity and a chilling ability to remain calm in the face of danger that set them apart from ordinary disciples. Arion's mind delved into the abyss of dark possibilities, recognizing the allure of having disciples who bore the weight of a past shrouded in enigma. Reincarnation, he mused, was like a haunting specter that had cast its indelible mark upon them. He understood that their past lives might have subjected them to experiences that transcended ordinary horrors. He was drawn to their cold, calculating minds, which seemed unaffected by the chaos of the world. This emotional detachment from perilous situations was a quality he saw as an asset in their dange
Assignments
Arion's mind began to churn with a calculated and domineering scheme. He recognized the potential treasure trove of knowledge that Zayn might unwittingly possess, understanding that his grasp of cultivation could be the key to unlocking profound insights.With a fearsome determination, Arion intended to play his cards close to his chest. His plan would be executed in the shadows, a web of manipulation that Zayn wouldn't even detect. While he maintained the guise of recruiting disciples, his true motive was to extract every morsel of cultivation wisdom from Zayn's very being, ensuring the young man remained oblivious to the manipulation at play.In the forest Arion executed a masterful tactical move, employing his formidable Emperor's Decimation skill to instill terror in Zayn's heart and force his submission. To further enhance his capabilities, he harnessed the potent powers of the Arcane Symbolic Band, using the blood of the Foundation Establishment Snake Beast.The beauty of Empero
Realms
As the four figures materialized in the same spot where Arion and his disciples had stood moments before, they exchanged puzzled and somewhat anxious glances. The atmosphere was tense, and someone among them had to account for what had just transpired. The first figure, whose voice quivered with a sense of fear, was quick to distance himself from any responsibility. "It wasn't me," he muttered, almost too softly to be heard. His reluctance to be blamed was evident. The second and third figures, in unison, echoed the same sentiment. "Me neither," they affirmed, their voices more assured than the first figure but still tinged with nervousness. Their words suggested they were not willing to shoulder the blame for whatever had just occurred. As the trio of figures exchanged meaningful glances, their collective apprehension seemed to shift toward the fourth individual. They all turned their gaze in unison
Outer Disciple
As Kyle, Seraphina, and Zayn embarked on the journey from Rainsong City back to their sect, the passage of time seemed to warp and bend in unfathomable ways. In stark contrast to Kyle's previous experience, during which a conventional carriage ride had taken over a week, the return journey was a mind-bending spectacle.Arion, their Sect Master, was responsible for this astonishing phenomenon. In a mere five minutes, he transported them from the city to their sect's headquarters. The entire experience defied every notion of time and distance, leaving the trio speechless and bewildered.What left Kyle in awe was the stark realization of Arion's unparalleled strength. It was difficult to fathom how their Sect Master, who was the same age as them, could exhibit such an extraordinary display of power. It wasn't teleportation or any form of mystical shortcut; it was Arion's sheer speed that had brought them back.
