NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26: Permission Granted
The First Master of the Void training temple was the one teaching this class. I didn't know what it was but I had to pay attention either way. I needed those points. I could only hope that the class wouldn't put me to sleep.
Temple Master Miao Fei Ping stood atop the ring. "Welcome, today's lesson will be all about fighting. As such every one please pay attention as I teach." He said.
Everyone aside from myself looked at him with interest. I wasn't impressed in the least bit. All he has done so far is make me sleepy. Perhaps I should have just left and did some other training for myself. There has got to be a good way to get points.
The class went on as I thought about what I would eat after it was over. The problem was the fact that this class was super dry and not useful in the long run. I knew this because of what I felt outside the void world. Hell, just take a glance at my weapons and it would be clear as day that anything we learn here would be outpaced instantly.
"Alright now for the rest of the class you will spar with each other. Find a partner and get ready to fight." Temple Master said, wrapping up his earlier lesson.
*sigh* I need an opponent who will actually pressure me into trying. And even if I choose the strongest person in this class they are only a Transcendent Realm cultivator. It's not likely they will give me a challenge now that I've fully settled into my realm and grown stronger. On top of this I have a weapon artifact this time no one is my opponent even two major realms beyond my current level.
"Temple Master, I don't have a suitable sparring partner in this class. Is it possible to bring in a Saint Realm for my sparring match?" I asked the Temple Master.
"WHAT how dare you think I can't be your opponent!" A random dude said.
"Yeah you may be strong but you're only a 3rd Layer True Element Realm." Another said.
"You also don't seem to have an artifact. How do you plan on beating us who have an artifact?" Another said.
Perfect, this is exactly what I wanted to have happen. I pulled out my Saint King Spear.
"Temple Master, I have refined a new request. If I beat all three of these guys and any other challenger below the saint realm. Will the Temple Master grant me special permission to take requests for Transcendent Realms?" I said.
The three who spoke up earlier were confused and took a step back when I pulled the spear out. It was because of that idea of 'what else does he have up his sleeves?' I just smirked.
"Come down and defeat them all at once. If you manage to win I'll think about Transcendent quests. But I will give you the chance to take a quest one major Realm higher. That's the best I can do. You should have learned by now that a cultivator with a Knowledge Sea and one without is completely different." The Temple Master said.
I mentally shrugged this off and accepted the conditions flying onto the arena floor. I was ready to test my spear. The three Transcendent Realms decided to come one at a time. Much to my annoyance since it now felt like they were insulting me.
"Temple Master, it seems they wish to fight multiple one on one matches. Will your offer still stand in the event I defeat each of them? If not then these matches are a waste of time." I asked, showing my annoyance.
"Since they don't want to fight in this manner I can only judge by seeing your ability. Now fight." The Temple Master instructed.
"Ahahaha, I'll teach you to be arrogant. Here everyone is a talented genius, you can't be this way here." The first opponent said pulling out his sword type artifact.
I could tell at a glance that the weapon he had wasn't even close to being powerful enough. It was easily three major grades below my spear. This guy would have to be insane to think he is going to beat me with that junk.
Either way the fight started and he came rushing forward, clearly trying to take advantage of his current realms power and speed to force me into a bad position. However I simply dodged it. He was slow compared to what I can do after all. Of course I tripped him as he came by. Causing him to tumble and roll across the ring floor.
"What! How did you do that?" The guy asked, shaking his head.
"I am either faster or you're not trying hard enough." I said simply, shaking my head.
However The Temple Master saw the whole thing. What he saw was a blinding degree of speed. Not only that but he sensed that I had a Knowledge Sea. "Perhaps I should let him go on those quests after all" He thought to himself after seeing the first display there just now.
"Don't worry I'm going to up the heat." my opponent said.
A fiery aura flared up as the guy came rushing at me. In the end I was able to send my spear out to match the attack. My lightning aura sparked when the two of us clashed. Well, it was more the tips of our weapons had clashed. There was an explosion of power and a bright light and a loud boom. I skid backwards about a few inches. However the Transcendent was launched outside of the ring. The guy was unconscious and his sword destroyed.
"Huh, I guess I'm stronger than I thought. Interesting… Very Interesting." I said looking at my free hand.
"Heh, Junior brother is indeed strong. Forgive me for earlier. clearly you have the strength to back it up." The guy said waking up.
"Temple Master the Senior brother that was defeated just now was said to be the strongest among us three. I'd like to back out of this challenge." The remaining two said, full of humility.
"Very well. Disciple Wang An Leiji I will grant you permission to take quests rated one major realm above you. As for two realms above you, I will allow it provided you have a solid team." The Temple Master said.
"Thank you, Temple Master." I said, cupping my hands.
I was quite pleased with this result since it meant that I could actually take a decent job. Which would translate into points and then even more after that it would turn into cultivation resources.
