The reward for the first place in the Earth Ranking is extrely generous, including two six-star low-grade Spiritual Artifacts of any type, and one hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones.
Zhao Letian's weapons and Defensive Armor were destroyed in the competition, so he chose a sword and a piece of Inner Armor.
"Brother Letian." Liu Wei looked at Zhao Letian who was flying over after receiving his rewards and obediently called out, her face overflowing with a happy smile, feeling glad for Zhao Letian.
"Master, you are so amazing." The Galaxy Five Tigers also laughed excitedly, increasingly convinced that their decision to follow Zhao Letian was a very wise choice.
"Alright, let's go back and pack up, and change islands." Zhao Letian smiled and nodded. Now that he was the number one person in the Inner Sect, naturally he wanted to switch to a better island for cultivation.
Liu Wei and the Galaxy Five Tigers nodded, and were about to follow Zhao Letian in leaving Huangquan Island.
"Zhao Letian, co up here."
Just then, from the clouds above, a Guardian Elder suddenly shouted from atop the Golden Warship.
"Weiwei, wait here for for a mont." Zhao Letian frowned and instructed Liu Wei and the others, before imdiately stepping on his flying sword, turning into a beam of sword light and arriving on the Golden Warship.
"Zhao Letian pays respect to the Sect Master, all the Elders, and my master. May I know why the Elder summoned here?" Zhao Letian respectfully bowed to everyone.
"Zhao Letian, it's like this; your performance today was excellent, earning yourself a trendous opportunity," an Elder said with a smile.
"May I ask Elder, what opportunity it is?" Zhao Letian asked in surprise.
"If you are willing, you can choose any one of us Guardian Elders to be your master," the Elder directly stated.
"Zhao Letian, I don't want to waste ti, so I'll just say it outright. If you're willing to accept as your master, I can imdiately grant you three High-Grade Essence Stones as a greeting gift, and you won't have to worry about resources for your future cultivation."
"It's just so small cultivation resources, who can't offer these? Zhao Letian, I am proficient in both Sword Intent and Wind maneuvers. If you swear fealty to , your cultivation progress will surely skyrocket, advancing to the Sect Martial Realm is just around the corner."
"Zhao Letian, I see that your Physical Strength is extrely strong, it appears that you have cultivated so powerful Body Refining thod. I specialize in this area; if you accept as your master, I guarantee you will develop the Vajra Indestructible Body."
The Guardian Elders eagerly put forth enticing conditions for Zhao Letian.
"Elders, I am overwheld by your favor. It is an honor for that you hold in high regard. However, I have already taken Sword Obsession as my master, how could I possibly accept another as my teacher? I hope the Elders understand," Zhao Letian answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Sword Obsession showed a look of approval in his eyes and silently nodded, internally remarking that he has indeed not misjudged.
"Zhao Letian, think carefully. We, the ones of Sect Martial Realm, do not easily accept disciples. Such an opportunity, once missed, will be hard to co by again."
"That's right, Zhao Letian, do you know how many people in the sect cry and beg, going through great lengths to beco my disciple? I am willing to accept you because I hold you in high esteem. Don't be ungrateful."
"Zhao Letian, Sword Obsession is rely at the True Martial Realm level, how could he be compared with us? Follow and you will gain access to more cultivation resources."
The Guardian Elders all frowned, as they began to intimidate and tempt. Thanks for reading—brought to you by *.
"Do you think Sword Obsession does not exist? You are the Guardian Elders of the sect, and I respect you, which is why I gave you a chance. However, you failed to seize it. Now, since my disciple has made his decision, this matter should co to an end. From now on, anyone who dares to target my disciple will be my enemy, Sword Obsession—I will slay them wherever they may be!" Sword Obsession took a step forward, his body emanating a sharp Sword Intent.
"Sword Obsession, watch your tone!"
"Sword Obsession, you are being presumptuous!"
The Guardian Elders said coldly. Although Sword Obsession was strong, he was only at the True Martial Realm peak and at most, could barely compete with those just entering the Sect Martial Realm. There was still a considerable gap between him and many of them, so Sword Obsession's attitude greatly displeased them.
"Presumptuous? Do you really think that I, Sword Obsession, have been unable to breakthrough to the Sect Martial Realm all these years? Maybe, you just refuse to admit that once I advance to the Sect Martial Realm, many of you will not even qualify to be my opponents," Sword Obsession said proudly.
This ti, the Guardian Elders were not so quick to anger. It was as if sothing dawned on them, and their expressions suddenly grew solemn.
They knew well that Sword Obsession's talent was not inferior to theirs—it was even stronger. Back when many of them had not yet advanced into the Sect Martial Realm, they had been overshadowed by Sword Obsession's brilliance.
However, for many years, Sword Obsession's cultivation had always remained at the peak of the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, making it impossible for him to step into the Sect Martial Realm. That had made so of them forget the fear they had felt under Sword Obsession's dominance in the past. If one day Sword Obsession advanced to the Sect Martial Realm, they might indeed not be worthy opponents.
"I don't care about all that. Zhao Letian, I'm going to ask you one last ti, are you willing to take as your master?" One of the powerful Guardian Elders, not afraid of Sword Obsession, still asked indifferently.
"My only master is Sword Obsession," Zhao Letian replied, neither humble nor arrogant. Sword Obsession had not only helped him in the past, but also took him as a disciple recognizing his potential before he showed his outstanding talents, showing much more sincerity than these Guardian Elders. Naturally, he would not betray Sword Obsession for so petty benefits and switch to soone else.
"Now, can you give up?" Sword Obsession looked around and said.
"Hmph! Ungrateful!"
"Take care of yourself from now on!"
"Zhao Letian, your decision is very unwise!"
Seeing that Zhao Letian could not be swayed, the attitudes of the Guardian Elders imdiately turned cold, and so even showed a glint of murderous intent in their eyes. A person who could be used by them was a treasure; otherwise, it was like a tumor that needed to be removed.
"That's enough, let's stop here. I don't care about other matters, but rember one thing—Zhao Letian is a mber of the Galaxy Sect. Whoever dares to harm him is an enemy of the sect," Sect Master Chu Yunshan finally spoke up, and then with a flicker of his body, he turned into a streak of light and left.
Watching Chu Yunshan's departing figure, the Guardian Elders' eyes flickered, each with their own thoughts. With the Sect Master's words, they naturally did not dare to trouble Zhao Letian in public, but what they might do behind the scenes remained unknown.
"Letian, you should go back and heal your injuries. Don't worry about these old fellows with here," Sword Obsession said to Zhao Letian.
"Disciple takes his leave," Zhao Letian bowed, then transford into a beam of sword light and left together with Liu Fei and others.
