Death… And Me

Chapter 1602 Leonardo Abril

Leonardo was pretty similar to all the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators the twins got for the sect, people who cultivated slowly and didn't get much of a good life. Simply put, people who didn't mind betting on joining the System Sect regardless of how shady the proposal seemed at first.

However, he was someone with an odd affinity, an extremely odd one at that, iron. Yes, Leonardo could somehow manipulate iron to a certain extent, but only iron, the normal unimpressive one. With that, it could be called a branch of Earth Element Affinity. Back in Sunkan Planet, the twins also heard about a person with Bronze affinity.

Naturally, being able to manipulate such a weak material didn't give Leonardo any advantages in the outside world. In the Realm of Gods, iron wasn't even considered a forging material for any kind of weapons or armors. That's because even the low-level materials would have some Divine Energy or elemental properties of their own, but iron was not in this category. It was just an ordinary lump of metal.

The worst part for Leonardo was that there weren't any cultivation techniques suited for him. He had to get by with some Earth Element techniques, which obviously made him slower than others. Things happened here and there during his life, and he simply lagged behind. In a certain way, it was impressive he even reached the Nascent Soul Realm since his talent was only Yellow Color. Sure enough, as long as one didn't have an incredible problem like Hage, who had blocked meridians and a flawed foundation, one could still make one's way through the realms.

Nevertheless, Nascent Soul was definitely the limit for the majority, and Leonardo was no exception. Ever since he entered the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, his cultivation got stuck. No Earth Element technique worked for him at all. Of course, he could still cultivate without relying on any cultivation technique, but that would make him even slower, so he just stopped. He saw no point in continuing forward anymore.

It was then that he was invited to the System Sect. He told Rean about his affinity and that he wouldn't be able to do much. However, Rean was shocked when he heard about the over 400 years old man's affinity. Following that, Rean had Leonardo sign the Soul Binding Contract and immediately contacted Roan.

Roan, just like Rean, understood how impressive that was. The ability to control iron. The people of the Realm of Gods didn't know about it, but how could Rean and Roan not? They came from Earth, after all. They knew way too well that blood had iron in its composition. Sure, it wasn't anything impressive. Adult human males had around 4 grams of Iron, while females had 3.5 grams in their entire body. However, this little amount was present everywhere throughout the blood.

Suppose Leonardo could improve his control over iron. In that case, that measly 4 grams of iron could become a fatal weapon against his opponents. It would be the same as attacking someone from inside! How could one even defend against that? Perhaps by filling their entire bodies with Divine Energy? But one would need to even know what he was doing to start with.

With that said, Roan immediately took Leonardo to the cultivation technique repository and used several different Earth Element techniques to create one that worked with Iron affinity. If Roan could even create a technique for Space affinity, he obviously could do it for a much simpler one. In fact, Roan found it quite easy to do that as he knew iron's properties very well, thanks to Rean's memories.

It had been just a month or so since Leonardo joined the sect, but his cultivation speed had drastically increased. Roan even took some extra time to devise a combat training for him to follow. It was just some basics, but it helped him a lot. With those things together, Leonardo's confidence, which had been low throughout his entire life, finally started to increase.

However, one thing puzzled Leonardo very much. Why did the twins put so much importance on him just because of his Iron affinity? The reason was that the twins didn't tell him about the iron present in one's body yet. Both Rean and Roan decided to first see who Leonardo was before passing on such a piece of dangerous knowledge. As far as the twins were concerned, Leonardo might even be able to destroy all the blood cells in the body in a moment through the interaction with the iron inside.

The twins themselves weren't concerned, though. Because they knew very well what Leonardo's affinity might be able to do, they could easily defend, but how about the others? It was better to wait.

Eventually, the tests were over, and everyone was assigned tasks that corresponded to their abilities.

"That's all for today. We will have another test taking place three months from now. The classes will start tomorrow, so follow the schedule in your badges." Immediately, everyone received information that separated their working hours from their studying hours. "When the next test starts, the knowledge test will be applied as well. That means math, writing, reading, and chemistry will appear there. They will obviously count for your overall score," Roan explained.

Rean also added, "The times in the badges must be followed. Everyone week, there will be three days in a row where you will take part in the classes. The other four days are free for you to do whatever you want as long as you complete your tasks. Of course, if you help the sect during those days, you will receive more Sect Points, which means more Divine Stones."

After that, Rean gave them a warning. "Those who don't appear for their classes will be deducted 100 Sect Points as a penalty unless they can give a proper reason." Rean had to do that since he was absolutely sure some would hate studying. It was the natural instinct of people to avoid classes if they could escape them without a problem. It was like this on Earth, it was like this in Varen Tribe back in Sunkan Planet, and it was like this in Freedom Sect. Here, it won't be any different.
