Omni-Mastery

A huge piece of news almost blew the minds of the whole Elemental Blade Sect! 

A newly recruited member had directly shot up to the top of the Achievement 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 members 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 immediately as rank 166, he only took another step at rank 26 using only one challenge's reward points before immediately 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!

Some rejoiced as the sect had received yet another otherworldly genius, and some envied his talent and lamented their bad luck, while some 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 seemed to view it in great light, this seemed 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 some exciting effect. Of course, they had to hide the method that this new genius had used to achieve this feat. Otherwise, this genius's achievement would have an entirely opposite effect.

Meanwhile the internal workings of the Elemental Blade Sect stayed the same, some underlying plots were stealthly being brewed away from the public's sight...

"Meowwwan…"

Waking up at the sound of a cute yawn let out by Light, I checked the time only to find that I slept for almost a full day, it was early 9 AM in the morning!

The day before, I had immediately 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 tomes on my way back.

Only after reaching the bed and relaxing my battle-ready state, the mental fatigue that seemed 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 me and caused my sleeping time to lengthen for the sake of my mental recovery as I was almost sure by now that the tower operated by manipulating mentality, regardless of its body reserving mechanism that I only had some assumptions about it.

While it was true that I did have powerful mental stats, that didn't mean that my consciousness could handle too much mental 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 members 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 elements 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 mental effort I spent, even logical deduction resulted in the same 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 elemental 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 seemed to come 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 me 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 seemed to be a bit harsh to be said for someone who have made such a great achievement like I did, I didn't consider it as such, he meant good anyway and at the very end he seemed to be somewhat happy for me, he was just bad with words so…

If the responsible division masters were to let everyone do as they wish to just because someone managed to achieve something 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 mean…"

"Yes, you will have to come with me now. The sect master has asked me to bring you over…"
