"Yes, sir!" The employees said in unison.
"For today, we will just have to resu our work. We'll start the recom operation tomorrow We will work hard and maintain the average of 600 custors." Dylan encouraged his employees once more.
"We will!" The employees were pumped up and were eager to do well in their respective works.
Hours passed and it was already past 1 in the afternoon. The number of custors that ca to their store reached 330. Dylan knew that it was already a good number considering the increased number of popular competition that could be found within the street. With less custors to serve, so of the employees that already finished their tasks decided to cultivate.
Dylan's hardworking attitude infected all of his employees ever since they left Soaring Clouds City. During the journey, Dylan would always utilize all of his free ti for cultivation. Inspired by his behavior, the other also copied him and cultivate for the entire duration of the journey to the point that it beca their habits to cultivate whenever they have free ti.
When the hour clockhand struck 2, two unfamilliar guests entered the store. They all wore the robes that could be only worn by the disciples of the Premier Hall. Boundless strength could be felt from the, and it was clear that these two did not have any intention of retracting their imposing auras.
Their arrival stirred the attention of all the custors that were currently eating or buying herbs within the store.
"Aren't they from the Premier Hall?" One custor gossiped with his friend.
"Why are they here for? Acting all high and mighty by releasing their auras like that." Another harrumphed from displeasure.
"Keep quiet, you dumbass! They might hear you. Don't drag the sect dowm with your stupidity. They just formally anounced their partnership with this store the other day so they must be here for Dylan Ford." The one beside to the speaker earlier smacked his head and whispered.
.....
"May I ask who among you is Dylan Ford?" A scary looking adult said while his eyes scanned his surroundings.
"I am Dylan Ford. May I ask for what reason would brothers from the Premier Hall is here for?" Dylan stepped down from the second floor and greeted the newly arrived guests with a warm smile. Though he may have said that, he naturally knew that the reason they ca here was for him to start his training as a Mystical Magnate.
"We were sent here by the Hallmaster to escort you to the Premier Hall." The plain yet absurdly tall guy at the back of the scary looking man replied.
"Oh, is that so? Give a minute to prepare. Then we'll leave." Dylan replied with a faint smile.
"En." The two nodded respectfully.
.....
After leaving so instructions to Scott and Ron, Dylan left with the two disciples from the Premier Hall.
When they arrived at the Premier Hall, he was guided by the butlers of the hall to the office of Azelk. This was also the sa treatnt he had when he ca here as "Null" but the only difference was that he had fewer escorts now compared to when he was Null.
The three escorts bowed before they left Dylan after they successfully ushered Dylan to the Hallmaster's Office. Dylan gently knowcked a few tis before he heard a reply from inside saying, "Co in."
Dylan twisted the knob and opened the door. He saw Azelk and Sheldon sotting comfortably on their chairs and looked at Dylan with great expectation.
"Good Afternoon, Uncle Azelk and Uncle Sheldon." Dylan bowed before entering the room.
"Hahaha, it has only been a day but it feels like nephew has changed significantly." Azelk laughed but behind this laugh was shock and curiousity. Although he could determine that Dylan is still at the Spirit Gathering, he could no longer sense what specific level he is at.
'Co to think of it, Master Null also felt like this when we t this morning. Was it only this morning or was he also like that after our first eting? I could hardly rember how his aura felt now.' Azelk though it was quite peculiar that these two would have the sa characteristics.Due to the sudden change in aura, he was unable to grasp the prior aura that Dylan had.
"Indeed. Nephew, why does your cultivation level seem so vague all of the sudden?" Sheldon directly asked for an answer. Azelk was also very curious to know of the reason.
"Oh, this. It was actually an additional effect of the cultivation technique that Sir Null taught a week after he recovered from his injuries." Dylan answered rather quickly which was in contrast to what Azelk thought that he might be slightly apprehensive on telling them this matter.
"Cultivation technique?" The two were rather shocked when they heard of this. There were only one possibility for a technique to achieve this effect! This technique has already reached the treshold of a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique!
"Yes. He also said that this cultivation technique was also specifically created just for my constitution. So, even if I wanted to, I cannot share it with other people." Dylan explained.
Before coming here, Dylan already predicted that Azelk and Sheldon would ask him about his cultivation. So, he invented a story and pushed all the glorious feats to Null so that he would have an even deeper influence and impression towards this two making them easier to manipulate.
"A technique based on your constitution? That is comparable to a Heaven Rank Technique?!" The two looked at Dylan in shock. The already unfathomable Master Null suddenly beca even more unfathomable! From Dylan's words, they could infer that he was able to create a Heaven Rank technique solely for Dylan in less than a week?! What does this an? Master Null has already reached the mastery of laws!
"Heaven Rank? Sir Null is really amazing!" Dylan showed a face filled with worship and excitent! He even looked down on his hands and tremblingly gripped his fists so that he could show the reverence a junior was supposed to have to a super expert! However in his mind, Dylan was smiling, " Seems like pushing it towards Null was the most appropriate choice I did."
The two saw Dylan's actions. This made them feel depressed and felt what a huge waste it was that they were not able to request for a technique that is solely suitable for them! If they only had a technique like that, they would be like tiger with wings! But they suddenly rembered that their master's journey would only take a year at most before he could co back. At that ti, they could also request for a suitable vutltivation technique! But before they could do that, they would have to train Dylan wholeheartedly and let him soar to unimaginable heaights before Master Null could co back.
"Sir Null, truly is beyond remarkable! To think he could even do create Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique in a matter of days! Unmatchable!" Sheldon endlessly praised his master who was currently in absence.
"I sincerely concur. Enough about our Master. Let us first get down to the reason why we called him here. Dylan, do you know the reason why you are here?" Azelk asked with a serious gaze.
"This... I am not completely sure to what it really is... but I suppose it is related to Sir Null." Dylan hesitated a number of tis. Little did Azelk and Sheldon know that all of Dylan's actions and words were asured and calculated.
"Yes, it is related to Master. He said that he would be going on in an a journey that would at least last for several months to a year. He also tasked us to train you well so that by the ti that he cos back, he will assess whether to take you in as a disciple or not!" Azelk inford Dylan of what Null told them.
"Really? I can beco the apprentice of Sir Null?!" Dylan revealed a face of shock and anticipation!
"That's right! If you successfully beco Master's Apprentice, you would be able to soar like a dragon and carry your business as well as the Premier Hall with you to the apex!" Sheldon encouraged Dylan by equally showing an extrely passionate gaze!
"That's right. So, Dylan, are you willing to beco my disciple?" Azelk questioned with a powerful voice!
"Disciple greets Master!" Dylan unhesitatingly bowed. He kowtowed three tis to formally recognize Azelk as his Master.
"Good child. I, Azelk Premier, accepts Dylan Ford as his disciple! May the heavens witness this!" Azelk smiled as he looked at this promising youth who knelt with his forehead pasted on the floor. He never would have thought that this decision of his would change his life forever!
Dylan thought to himself, 'Second Phase, first checkpoint, complete!'
He was thoroughly happy in his heart that he was finally able to recognize a master in this world! Now, with proper guidance from a native of this world, he will surely be able to improve at an even faster pace than before!
" You may now stand up, disciple. First, we must asure your Magnate Strength. Sheldon, bring out the Soul asuring Tablet." Azelk ordered.
"Yes, Hallmaster." Sheldon imdiately obeyed and exited the room. He went to the Treasury had so of the elders help him carry the Tablet to the office.
"Sir Azelk, the tablet is now here." Sheldon entered the room along with three other elders. They were carrying a rectangular tablet that was about 1.5 ters long and 1 ter wide. The tablet was made from a mysterious type of black rock that seed to be even harder than steel. The table had two large orb, one white and the other black, at both ends and had 25 smaller orbs situated on the center. The smaller orbs were arranged in five columns and five rows about two inches apart.
"Master, is this stone tablet the one you called Soul asuring Tablet?" Dylan inquired.
"Yes, the Soul asuring Tablet is a asuring device used to ascertain the Soul Depth and the growth potential of Magnate Strength a person has. These two things are needed to determine a cultivator's talent in Mystical Magnatism. With this device, I would be able to determine where I am going to start when I train you." Azelk was patient as he answered Dylan's question.
"Is that so? Then, what should I do now?" Dylan asked.
"You are just going to place one of your hands on top of the white Soul Orb over there. Then, depending on your talent, the smaller orbs will light up and we can determine the growth of your Magnate Strength depending on the standard used. The first row containing the five orbs are for Magnate Apprentice, the next row is for Mystical Magnates and so on. For Soul Depth, you will do tye sa but this ti on the black Soul orb. The sa standards are applied." Sheldon was the one who replied Dylan's question this ti.
"Oh, okay." Dylan stepped up and moved closer to the Soul asuring Tablet. He calmly placed his right arm on the Soul Orb in front of him.
"Now, you just have to inject your Magnate Strength into the Orb." Azelk said.
"Mhm." Dylan closed his eyes and injected his Magnate Strangth into the Soul Orb.
When Dylan did this, the soul orb under his right arm radiated an incandescent white light! In the sa mont, the smaller orbs started to brighten one after another!
"This... this...!" Azelk, Sheldon and the three elders could not believe their eyes when they saw the number of orbs that lit up!
"Is it all done?" Dylan slowly opened his eyes and asked. When he saw the number of orbs that lit up, he was more than surprised.
"I lit up all 25?!" Dylan gasped as he saw 5 rows and 25 small orbs all lit up with bright gold light!
