Arthur then totally got absorbed in dealing with his inner demons. This proved to be a hard task that took more than he expected, yet he was winning each counter with these demons.
At so point, when the number decreased to less than ten, the remaining demons tried to coalesce together. They moved to stand near each other which created a stronger defense against Arthur.
Yet the trump card of his pearl energy was decisive in this fight. Despite taking one week more, he managed to finally break their defenses and start absorbing them one by one.
"Phew… finally finished," he muttered tiredly when three weeks passed already. "This took much longer than expected."
"But you managed to absorb them all," the golden dragon said, "and Gege got four orbs alone."
The golden dragon never ceased to ntion this point over and over again.
"I should have absorbed five, not just four," Gege replied in a strong attitude.
"Stop it already," Arthur helplessly interfered to stop this clash, "I still need to deal with that massive energy inside my body."
"You should just use your breaths to stabilize it," the golden dragon simply said, "also if there is a fight it would be much better."
"I know," Arthur nodded as this was simply the case like dealing with his cultivation energy. "How much ti do I have until the challenge at the academy?"
"Ding! Less than a month ti here," the system said.
"What about the city? Any attacks there?" he realized it was a long ti since he went to the city and checked on it.
Leaving it defenseless like this for a long ti annoyed him.
"Ding! Nothing in particular happened. And those masters just sent a word a while back, they apologize for being busy and Amanda is angry about that."
"She didn't co either," Arthur sighed.
"Ding! She was sent by the academy to supervise the preparations of the main contest, she sent these words with deepest apologies."
Arthur shook his head, as he was slightly disappointed.
The next thing he did was to start flying around, going on a wide tour inside the garden world, using his breaths all the ti. From ti to ti, residents in his garden world would see a flash of light passing over their heads without telling what was that.
The amount of dragonair energy inside Arthur's body was imnse. It took him two weeks to finally stabilize it.
"I have over triple the power I once had," he muttered before adding, "now it's ti to stabilize my cultivation base."
He paused for a mont before asking, "What about the tests at Alia's end?"
"Ding! They are still doing the tests thoroughly. They need at least one week from now to end their selection."
"Not bad," he nodded before taking out his sword. "It's ti to train with you mate."
The next mont Arthur landed on the ground, just next to the Golam lake like before. He then started to use his spiritual energy and pearl energy to use this berserker sword.
Each technique he had once learnt or heard about at the nascent soul base or lower was tried out by him. He was like a living encyclopedia, and in the next week he used over fifty sword techniques and mastered them.
"Impressive," Gege muttered, "you know how to hack a girl's body."
"…"
Arthur was speechless but he knew he did quite the devastation here. Among his fifty sword techniques, only five hailed above all in strength and might.
These five were basically considered the pinnacle of techniques in the nascent soul stage. He managed to perform them perfectly fine, without any error at all.
"Ti to go to the academy then," he muttered, "what about Alia's end?"
"Ding! They are ready," the system answered, "but the results you might not like."
'Why is that?" Arthur muttered in doubt.
"Ding! See for yourself."
"Stop touching my body!" Gege shouted the mont Arthur was transferred by the system towards the place of Alia and others.
He ignored Gege's remark as he glanced over the number of people standing with Alia.
"Finally decided to co back," Alia complained, "I thought you forgot about ."
He helplessly smiled as he was driven from one encounter to another, solving problems that kept popping in front of him. "Sorry, I've been busy lately," he said before glancing at those standing around her, "where are the final team of us?"
"We are," Alia smiled proudly as she pointed towards the ten standing behind her and added, "they are the cream of the crop."
"Only those…" Arthur was speechless for a mont before adding, "they are few."
"They are the top," Alia explained, "you only want the best, right?"
"Indeed but never thought they would be this short."
Arthur glanced at the small team of eight with many familiar faces. There were Deem, Gor, Agnus, Omar, Tarry, and Madly of his old team. Tarry and Madly were the ones that surprised him to be here, and Madly seed to notice his gaze.
"What? Surprised for and Tarry to be present?" she chuckled before adding, "I have a great breakthrough in forging, and Tarry was praised by Amanda when she taught us about the special abilities. She said he will be the biggest factor in our winning in the future."
Arthur smiled as he said, "That's a good news. I still rember the fiery girl from before."
"Humph, this girl is still fiery as ever."
Arthur sighed before glancing at the fresh faces. "Who are they?" he asked.
Alia glanced at the three whom moved fast to bow to Arthur as they said:
"Hello esteed lord, I'm Longman, a potion and pill maker."
"Hello esteed lord, I'm Sherry, a defense specialist."
"Hello esteed lord, I'm Noh, a marksman and a bow fighter."
Arthur glanced at the three where two ca from the castle of the sky and one was from the people he rescued from his city world.
