As Head Elder Yang began his lecture on the water attribute, Dana was fully alert as she fully took in his teachings of the water attribute.
Dana soon progressed rapidly turning from a complete novice in the water attribute, into surpassing students present which has been comprehending the water attribute for many years.
As Dana was a Frost Wyvern which has amazing attribute talent with Ice with the addition of having a powerful soul, Dana comprehension speed of the water attribute was horrifying, and Head Elder Yang lecture on the attribute allowed her to progress this rapidly.
Of course, this couldn't happen in all the times in which Dana attended Head Elder Yang's lesson, this was only because he was recounting his experiences of the concept of the water attribute which he has meditated on for the majority of his lifespan, thus it was rather profound.
As Dana knew literally nothing of the water attribute previously, she will progress greatly with a master of the water attribute like Head Elder Yang explaining to her for the first few times, however, eventually, her progress will slow down as Dana will also need to ponder on the water attribute herself and cannot be completely reliant on Head Elder Yang's teachings to progress further.
An hour later, Head Master Yang began demonstrating basic water attributed skill which was actually extremely famous, called [Water Blade].
As [Water Blade] can be upgraded as you further deepen your understanding of the water attribute, thus it is a good skill to showcase your talent and skill within the water attribute.
Head Master Yang quickly taught it to the students, with Dana easily getting the meaning behind the skill, replicating Head Master Yang perfectly under the amazed looks of the students.
Although [Water Blade] wasn't a difficult skill to master it was the way in which Dana was using the skill was truly proficient, as the demonstration of the use of the skill demonstrates Dana having a comprehension of water similar a genius student which trained ten years within the water element, which greatly caused them to be astonished at how high Dana's talent within the water attribute is!
Head Master Yang gave Dana a nod, with a clear impressed look.
The students became even more dumbstruck upon seeing Head Master Yang showing Dana a praising look, indicating even he was pleased with Dana's performance.
As Head Master Yang is known for being very strict within regards towards the students, this is almost unheard of occurrence.
In fact, even Dana showing this level of mastery was enough to leave a great impression within Head Master Yang, and that was the account she had been training within the water attribute for numerous years, maybe if he knew that Dana had comprehended the water attribute for an hour, perhaps he might collapse from shock.
This scene was soon repeated throughout the entirety of the lecture, as Head Master Yang continuously shown pleased looks towards Dana.
Dana's talent in the water attribute continuously dazzled the students, leaving a great impression on them with her talent, also reconfirming from the rumours how truly gifted Dana was!
Many couldn't accept that Dana was more talented than Princess Hui Ying and Prince Cheng, making them much more talented themselves, thus it caused many to snicker with the thought of Dana's talent being overexaggerated within the rumours.
There were some who even believed her cultivation level could be a result of using countless resources, and she didn't do the attribute test as it would expose her for the fraud it is, someone with an average attribute talent.
But, Dana's display truly destroyed these thoughts they previously held, as Dana attribute talent within water truly outshined every student present in a dominating display, making them not even hold the slightest thought of ever being able to compete with her.
Once the lecture finished, Head Elder Yang asked everyone to leave except for Dana causing the students to instantly be curious on what he wanted to speak to Dana about, however, they still left as they couldn't ignore an instruction from Head Elder Yang.
Soon enough the entire room was emptied, leaving just Head Elder Yang and Dana being the only occupants.
Head Elder Yang approached Dana and said, "You truly have wonderous talent within the water attribute, I knew that woman wouldn't take a disciple with talent any less superior than hers. You truly impress me, girl, I haven't seen someone so talented within the water attribute in a long time, it gives me hope that you can represent the Elemental Sect within the yearly gathering of the Sects."
Upon hearing Head Elder Yang, made Dana became instantly interested.
Inquisitively Dana asked, "What is this yearly gathering of the sects?"
Head Elder Yang showed a puzzled expression, "You truly do not know what this is? Your master haven't informed you of it at all? Well, I guess she would have assumed this would be common knowledge for you as everyone in the Xinghai Continent has at least some knowledge of it, but I guess you must not be from this continent I presume."
Hearing Head Elder Yang caused Dana to frown, 'It seems I have to really do that read within the library, as just from this simple mistake, he already deduced that I'm not from the Xinghai Continent, also I have literally possess no common knowledge of the continent, thus I don't want to miss out on an opportunity on something which can progress my cultivation just because I'm ignorant.'
Seeing Dana's expression, Head Elder Yang smiled, "Don't worry I won't inform anyone of this it can stay a secret between us. The Yearly Sect Gathering is one each sect gathers to compete with each other on which is the strongest sect within the continent, there is a ranking out of hundred and the sect which gets the most people within the top hundred will be looked upon favourable. However, most people pay attention to the Top 10, but this isn't important as the Elemental Sect haven't even been in the Top 10 in the last Hundred years. There are also rewards, the ones being the most bountiful within the Top 10, but everyone in the Top 100 will receive some sort of compensation in addition to gaining face for your Sect. Seeing you girl I believe your the best chance we have in getting within the Top 100 as I don't have much faith within the other 'Top Geniuses' within the sect, the Elemental Sects geniuses have truly declined this last hundred years," said Head Elder Yang bitterly.
Hearing Head Elder Yang's word caused a fighting spirit to emerge within Dana, 'From the sounds of Head Elder Yang this Yearly Sect Gathering should be even further away than the secret realm, maybe I can even get strong enough to get within the Top 10.' Dana thought, as this yearly sect gathering will not only be beneficial towards her cultivation but helps her compete with the other top geniuses of the continent, she wonders why her master never mentioned this to her before.
"I'll do it," Dana responded.
A surprised look appeared on Head Elder Yang's face, "You truly want to represent the Elemental Sect, girl?" He said.
As Head Master Yang already thought that Dana must not want to enter such competition, and even if she did it wouldn't be alongside the Elemental Sect as at the moment Dana would likely be able to enter an even more superior Tier 3 Sect, with her appearance and talent.
Although the Elemental Sect seemed powerful on the surface with the amount of Core Formation elders, in fact, their young generation was declining greatly in the past hundred years due to the suppression of the Heavenly Noble Sect, as many were afraid of even joining them.
This was another reason why Princess Hui Ying and Prince Cheng could act so rampantly, as the Elemental Sect was in desperate need for geniuses.
"Yes, I will," Dana assured, she doesn't want to represent any other sect as she believed that her master must have a good impression of this sect as it was her first choice in bringing her here, so she decided this was only beneficial towards her, as she will not only repay the Elemental Sect by bringing reputation towards it, but she will receive a generous reward which will contribute greatly towards her cultivation.
"Good, good" Head Elder Yang said with an excited look within his eyes, before discussing with her about the arrangements of her entering the Yearly Gathering of the Sect.
It seems I now have a lot to prepare for in the coming months, I must increase my strength as quickly as possible.
As the greater the rewards, the greater the risks, Dana knew that attending both the secret realm and the Yearly Sect Gathering will put herself in a highly dangerous situation, but at the same moment if she overcomes both then her strength will increase explosively.
With these thoughts emerging within her mind, a resolute look appeared within Dana's eyes.
