A huge piece of news almost blew the minds of the whole Elental Blade Sect!
A newly recruited mber had directly shot up to the top of the Achievent Points' ranking board, he had even managed to do so using only one day!
After barely spending a week and half since his admission to the sect, the new resident of the Central Division had managed to astonish all mbers who thought he was an anti-social recluse who hid away as soon he joined as he attempted three tower challenges in a row, achieving mind blowing results!
From appearing on the ranking imdiately as rank 166, he only took another step at rank 26 using only one challenge's reward points before imdiately rising to the 2nd rank by the end of his second challenge!
The third challenge was all he needed to surpass the top ranker who half the sect took as their idol and example for success, the margin he surpassed him with was even almost 1000 points!
So rejoiced as the sect had received yet another otherworldly genius, and so envied his talent and lanted their bad luck, while so only took it as a drive to improve themselves and reach an even higher ground. Even the unquestionable top ranker had been surpassed in a day… Was improving further really impossible? Maybe it was just their weak wills succumbing too early!
Anyhow, the Division Masters seed to view it in great light, this seed like the shot of adrenaline that the sect needed after a while of stagnation, whether it was envy or adoration, both were bound to have so exciting effect. Of course, they had to hide the thod that this new genius had used to achieve this feat. Otherwise, this genius's achievent would have an entirely opposite effect.
anwhile the internal workings of the Elental Blade Sect stayed the sa, so underlying plots were stealthly being brewed away from the public's sight...

"owwwan…"
Waking up at the sound of a cute yawn let out by Light, I checked the ti only to find that I slept for almost a full day, it was early 9 AM in the morning!
The day before, I had imdiately headed back to my courtyard after finishing the venom challenge and claiming my tag back from the Overseer. Of course, I didn't forget to return the tos on my way back.
Only after reaching the bed and relaxing my battle-ready state, the ntal fatigue that seed to result from the continuous challenges, especially the last one where I was poisoned to death, as well as the residue tiredness from the continuous 'Archaic Guidance' sessions earlier, all crashed at and caused my sleeping ti to lengthen for the sake of my ntal recovery as I was almost sure by now that the tower operated by manipulating ntality, regardless of its body reserving chanism that I only had so assumptions about it.
While it was true that I did have powerful ntal stats, that didn't an that my consciousness could handle too much ntal manipulations and illusions without even getting fatigued
All of this was thankfully washed away after this deep sleeping session, refreshing my mind as I got up and went to the courtyard's luxurious bathroom to take a relaxing hot bath to double the refreshed effect!
As my mind relaxed even further, I couldn't help but smile as I had indeed managed to perform this step of the plan even better than I planned for the result to be!
Even not taking the fact that I stood at the very top of the ranking into mind, just the overboard reaction of the gathered sect mbers that I ran from after claiming my tag back was enough to prove that I achieved the wanted effect...
Simply outstanding!
Just thinking this way made the technique mastery grinding for the last 9 days very worth it, the first step of my plan after entering the sect could be said to have been perfectly realized without any hitch.
Getting out of the bath, drying myself using Wind elents and finally putting on a clean wear, I headed to the bed for the sake of slacking more!
After all, I definitely deserved this rest after the amount of ntal effort I spent, even logical deduction resulted in the sa answer. I did compress what should have taken a few months into the work of 9 days, so resting was only natural!
Besides, I couldn't jump to the next step of the plan myself, all I could have done was initiate the approach and that was what I have done, so I could only wait for now. Naturally, if I had to wait for more than 2 days, then I would start elental weapon technique practice to increase my mastery of it, the worth of which I have fully realised after going through 6 continuous tests that examined that sole point.
However, I had only managed to relax and empty my mind for two hours before I heard a knock that seed to co from the main gate of the courtyard.
"Coming…"
The one who was standing out of the gate was...
"Oh, what can I help you with, Senior?"
It was the elder who overseed the operations of the Central Division.
"Division Master Wind has called for you. He is waiting for you at the reception hall in the main courtyard."
"Understood. I will head over in a second."
"Mhm, congratulations on your extraordinary feat yesterday by the way, you have a great future ahead of you…"
"It's nothing much Senior, thanks for your flattery."
"You obviously deserve it, see you at the hall."
A second after the elder left, I put on the cleaned 'Convenient Leather Armor' and changed it into a dark blue color before heading out towards the hall.
"Senior Wind."
"Young Lan, you really do keep giving surprises…"
"..."
"Anyway, before we get into the reason behind my visit, I would first like to clarify that I don't regret advising you against doing what you did, since I believed that it was just a waste of your talent and resources. You did seem confident of pulling this off, but as a reminder for the future, you should consider things more."
Wind's expression as he let out this small lecture was actually a pleased one, and I was likewise not irritated by what he said, while his words seed to be a bit harsh to be said for soone who have made such a great achievent like I did, I didn't consider it as such, he ant good anyway and at the very end he seed to be sowhat happy for , he was just bad with words so…
If the responsible division masters were to let everyone do as they wish to just because soone managed to achieve sothing close to a miracle, it would spell out a disaster soon enough.
"Understood."
"Good, with that said, it's only right to congratulate you. Not only did you successfully claim the top spot, but you have also accomplished your target."
"You an…"
"Yes, you will have to co with now. The sect master has asked to bring you over…"
