A rumor began to spread in the nation.
Vance, the strongest student of the academy of his generation, was secretively a cultivator of the darkness element.
Also, he had kept his aptitude a secret thanks to the help of the Royal family with whom he worked to obtain resources and techniques.
The rumor spread in every direction, surprising everyone that had met him and the Udye family even provided a drawing of his facial features, they were basically aiming to destroy his anonymity.
As for why they did such a thing, there were many reasons.
The first one was to uncover his actual identity, the Utra nation was built using the noble families as its foundation, it was almost impossible to become a cultivator without the approval of a noble family.
That meant that there had to be some records about the birth of a cultivator of the darkness element somewhere, he couldn't have just appeared out of anywhere and have the strength to pass the entrance test of the academy.
