======== Arthur's POV ===========
After Thomas the inner disciple left, I entered the courtyard assigned to . Which was small compared to what I was used to, but it was okay for now.
And speaking of Thomas, sothing about him feels familiar to but I can not tell what is.
'I guess I'll find later then,'
After entering the house and surveying it, I found it to be sowhat acceptable. There was a living room, one bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
I walked into the bedroom and sat down to think about what had happened today.
It had been a long day and I would be lying if I said I was not feeling tired.
'But the day was a fruitful one too.'
I now have a clear idea of what I should be doing now.
'First I need to break through and ascend to the next realm of power. With my current reputation in the sect and my 'na' I might attract so trouble.'
'And if what I know from the novels I read in the past are true, then I am very sure that there would be trouble. In fact, maybe so young master out there is already planning and coming up with sches to get to .'
I had no idea that my speculation was spot on.
'In short, I need to be constantly raising my strength. Who knows, I can just wake up one day and find out that cultivators from the upper realm are here to make us lower realm people their slaves.'
'Or maybe I will take a little stroll one day only to co back and find out that those I cared about were taken away from .'
'And worst of all, I have like literally the strongest entity in the world after my ass, a.k.a the Eye of the Grand Dao.'
I remind myself of the challenges ahead so I will not get caught up with how everything Is working smoothly for .
I knew too well that anything can go wrong in a world like this and I can not afford to be complacent with little success.
After that, I opened the student handbook and read through it to understand more about the sect.
Reading through, I found out about the different ranks of disciples and the requirents to be promoted.
Right now I was at the bottom of the sect as the lowest ranked outer disciple.
'But that won't be so for long.'
I also learned from the student handbook that there is a ranking system within the sect.
There are the outer-court rankings for outer disciples, the inner-court rankings for inner disciples, the core disciple rankings for core disciples, and finally the Elite Disciples Ranking for the elite disciples.
And above all these disciples are the Pri Disciple Candidates who were the most influential disciples in the sect.
The Pri Disciple Candidates were disciples that the sect was nurturing the most and was competing to beco the Pri Disciple who is the official disciple to take up the position of Sect Leader in the future.
Currently, there were ten pri disciple candidates and as for the requirents to beco one, it was not stated in the handbook.
The next thing I paid attention to was the Martial Arts Library. This was where the battle arts of the sect were stored.
To learn any martial art, a disciple will have to pay for a corresponding number of contribution points.
But every new disciple is given free 10 points which are only enough for the lowest grade of martial arts.
After reading through the student handbook, I opened the other book about the sect's rules and regulations.
When I was done reading them, I kept them aside and closed my eyes.
I have the ability to rember every single thing I read after seeing them once. That was what allowed to finish all books in the Royal Library except the martial arts techniques.
I wanted to rest after the long day, it was already evening and I felt like sleeping.
'But I can not rest now...'
I rembered a quote I heard once back on earth that says;
"When it seems as though things are moving in the right direction and your success is building up and all your hard work is bearing fruit, that is when you work harder than ever!"
It was a quote from a wise man.
With that thought in mind, I sat down cross-legged on the bed and changed my breathing pattern to cultivate.
Right now I have t the requirents to break through to the Gold Core Realm and the elental crystals that I got would be a big help.
The na the Nine Heavens Universal Scripture had for the Gold Core Realm was the Invincible Gold Core Realm.
Training with this cultivation technique, I will be able to condense ten gold cores instead of one like other 'side characters'...I an like other cultivators
ditating on what to do next I began to cultivate according to the instructions in the scripture.
Soon I felt a sensation in my Dantian and one set of ten drops of fire essence energy was the first to co together slowly.
Ti passed and the ten drops fused to beco one big drop of essence energy. I didn't stop there and continued to compress them.
After an unknown amount of ti, I finally condensed the first core which was gold in so places and red in so, from what I sensed with my spirit Power.
When I opened my eyes it was approaching morning. And although I feel energized, I am a person who likes sleep so I decided to get so of it.
Just as I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes, I sensed a presence in my room jolting up.
"Who?!"
"Calm down young master, it's ."
"Old Man Whitebeard? How did you?... You know what, never mind."
Turns out Old Man Whitebeard ca to visit. It was only because he revealed his presence that I was able to sense him.
"Young Master Arthur, my na is Alfred Stone if you must know."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that way of addressing you, I had gotten used to it," I felt embarrassed as I never called him Old Man Whitebeard to his face before.
"It's fine," Alfred wasn't mad at him as he had known about it all along.
"I see you have advanced in your cultivation Young Master, congratulations."
"Thank you, but what brings you here?"
"There is news from the Emperor concerning the Grand Martial Arts Tournant," Alfred's expression beca serious.
"What happened?"
"The Martial Emperor Secret Realm will be opening earlier than predicted and because of that, the date for the Grand Martial Arts Tournant has been brought forward."
I knew it, I was right about not resting. Just as I predicted, sothing I did not expect happened.
I took a breath and asked Whitebear- I an Alfred, "How much ti do I have?"
"It is..."
