"Besides, I am starting to get a strong feeling that you just want to borrow my strength and power to accomplish some stuffs for yourself."
"But since you want to use me which I don't really mind, keep in your heart that you will owe me favors. And you will carry out those favors for me when I ask about them for you"
Xiao Bilan looked at Max and shook her head with a smile in it "Well, you thought right, Max. I require your strength to do some certain things which I can't do with my own abilities at the moment. Also, I don't want to lose connection to you. Once you are gone, finding you may be really difficult, since Master Three Eyes may not be able to use his divination power to know your immediate location. You know, his divining powers may not work on you since you aren't from our world."
"I see. So you want to build a symbiotic relationship between us. I help you, you help me too. I like the sound of that. Alright. Accepted." Max said while Xiao Bilan nodded her head.
Although she was confused by the symbiotic relationship that Max mentioned, she however understood it meaning in the next instant when max said 'I help you, you help me too.'
She then fell silent and began to walk.
When Max saw that Xiao Bilan had gone silent, he left her side and went to meet Shang Fei who was looking at him with a smile in his face.
"It seems you have taken an interest in elder sister Xiao Bilan." Shang Fei directly said with that smile still in his face.
Haha!
Max broke into a chuckle.
"Nope. She is certainly the one hitting on me. Not me on her" He replied and chuckled.
"Well, if you like her, be prepared to be battled by the large numbers of admirers that she has." Shang Fei said and then grinned.
"Well, she is a really beautiful young lady that's for sure. But I am not interested in fighting her admirers since I have lot of things to do urgently. Like really lot of things that I simply won't be moved by anything beautiful and would look exactly like a peerless celestial goddess from the high heavens. Haha" Max said sincerely and then laughed.
"Really? Wow!" Shang Fei asked in an astounded tone as he was deeply shocked that Max could easily resist Xiao Bilan's great and flawless, attractive beauty.
Then he asked in the next instant "What things are those, Max? Those things that you urgently want to do?"
"Nah. Don't worry yourself about it man" Max replied.
He then looked at the sky and asked when he looked back at Shang Fei "By the way, I have been itching to ask. How do guys move from one region to another really distant region? You walk on feet to those places or you use your contracted winged beasts for long-distance flight to that place?"
"Well, we have birds and other beasts that can be used for that kind of purpose. These birds are extremely swift in the air since they can cross large distances in the blink of an eye. Then examples of those are the Roc, Kun, Peng and Garuda." Shang Fei said.
"Oh. That's nice. And where can one find these beasts?" Max asked.
"Well, our sect leader has one. But it is not among the one that I just mentioned since he isn't powerful enough to own one." Shang Fei replied.
"Oh. And why's that?" Max asked curiously.
"Well, those beasts are powerful, extremely arrogant, fully intelligent and excessively prideful beasts that will only allow the person that's able to totally subdue them to use them as mounts." Shang Fei replied.
"Okay. That's cool. Well, they should be ready for me. I will certainly come for them in the future to ride on them as my mount. Haha!" Max said and grinned.
Shang Fei laughed too.
"Well, those are great aspirations. Keep it up" He said and patted Max's shoulder while Max nodded his head with a smile surfacing in his lips.
Not long, they arrived at the Rainsword sect.
It was a massive and magnificent building with an outer and inner courtyard.
"Well, here's the imposing building of my prestigious Rainsword sect" Shang Fei said.
"Wow. It's truly imposing, bro. The architect that designed the layout of this building is great." Max said while Shang Fei nodded his head.
Shang Fei at the moment was glad.
All these while, Max had been complaining about how primitive their world was. But now, he seemed to be very impressed by the structure of his sect's building.
When Max entered the outer courtyard of the sect, people there who were the junior disciples of the Rainsword sect and were training with their swords by shooting of all colors of Sword Qi from their swords towards moving practice targets abruptly stopped what they were doing to look at Max who wasn't dressed like the way they were dressed, and didn't even look like someone from their world.
"Who is he?" A male disciple asked another who was by his side.
"I don't know. He seems like he is here to join our sect?" That person replied.
"Join? Won't he take the entrance exams first? Besides, he is a mortal. How would he be able to compete with the fearsome cultivators that will come for the entrance exams when it eventually kicks off?" That male disciple questioned.
"Well, I don't know how he would do that. Perhaps he is hiding his cultivation with some perverse Obscuration or Concealment Art."
"But since he is here, he might have what it takes. Also, he could be here under some recommendations."
"You know, our sect will gladly accept cultivators who come here with recommendations from other powerful organizations"
"So, those kind of cultivators would be admitted straight into the sect without them having to go through the entrance exams."
"Anyways, the elders of our sect may still perform their own tests on them to see if truly they qualify to be admitted into the sect since they won't be taking an actual entrance exam." That person by the male disciple's side replied.
Then he said further "Look, it's like we even missed something. He came in with senior Xiao Bilan's group. Perhaps the recommendation came from her dad who is a powerful cultivator. But I am not really sure about that. Just stating what came to my mind."
"Hmm" The person spoken to uttered.
He then asked "But what is the point of hiding his cultivation base and being dressed like that? He is trying to be mysterious or what?"
"I really don't know. Let's just keep our ears out for news about his admission into the sect" The other person replied.
"Okay."
Then they continued their training.
Max saw when the disciples at the outer courtyard were erupting Sword Qi from their swords which then abruptly transformed into actual swords that went on to slash and make thin and thick gashes in the statues which seemed to be made from a special durable material, since they didn't cut apart into halves in the next instant.
'Cool. What strong offensive magic' Max said inwardly with adoration in his eyes.
He then said further within 'I wish I knew how to do these things. Well, it doesn't really matter, because even with their frightening attacks, I sure am still going to overpower them and make them lick away the dirt stuck in the soles of my boots. Haha!"
When Max entered into the inner courtyard with the others, an elder suddenly appeared before him.
