"....W.....Wa.....Wake up"
"H-huh?"
A figure was looking at him.
"Waaa-"
*Twack*
"Ouch, cant you be a little careful?"
"Huh I'm sorry but what happend and who are you?"
"Im also a outer disciple. You were missing on the assembly so I was ordered to bring you."
"Ah sorry"
"I have one question, why is there blood here?"
"Ah a misconduct on my part. Dont worry about small details"
Qi Yang took a bath and changed in the outer disciple's clothes. The two then went to the assembly hall.
"Huh? Only this small amount?"
"Hm? Yeah since only a small amount can train in these arts"
"Hmm I see"
After a while an outer elder came. He cleared his throat and began speaking.
"Since you all are here lets start. An outer disciple must always complete atleast a mission each month. If not they will be kicked out"
All of the outer disciple's sighed. Their voices can be heard but had overlapped.
"Ugh"
"What if its dangerous"
"..."
Then the elder shouted
"Silence! If you cant do this then you can go out!"
The disciples didnt dare.
"You can select a mission on our mission hall but outer disciples can only pick the ranks of D."
After the speech had ended some went to the mission hall, but Qi? He didn't as he still didnt know his level of cultivation.
He took a breath.
"If what happend last night was real then something must have happend to my dantian"
He slowly went to his meditation state and then.....
"Hmm? What is this in my dantian? There's a brush in here."
His hands tried to reach out the brush but it flew away. Perhaps he is still weak.
"Am I not worthy enough? Then I shall cultivate more. I have to reach the 5th stage of body tempering. Currently I have reached the second last night. I do not know how but it is a blessing."
As 13 days passed he had reached the 5th stage. He took a bath and went out his dorm.
"Hm? Little one you only took 13 days to reach the 5th rank? You may be considered a genius as others have a hard time reaching the 4th rank it may even need to take 2 months."
"This junior thanks the elder for the compliment"
Qi then went out to the library hall
"Although I have the cultivation books I still need some martial arts. All of these are all suitable for brush techniques but some are well.. Not suitable for my tastes"
Qi walked to the 2nd floor. It was a easy task as he had reached a new minor rank in his cultivation. He stumbled upon another disciple.
"Oh your the new disciple? Pretty impressive for you to jump 3 minor ranks. You might be a genius."
"Thanks for the compliment"
"Hm are you trying to find a technique?"
"Im finding where its fast but doesnt lack damage"
"Good luck finding that. I might not be able to help"
Qi then wandered around the hall. He skimmed through books. And then found a ragged book it the lastest section in the back of all the books.
"Hm? The 12 strokes of yin? It doesnt lack damage but it also doesnt lack speed. Seems hard to learn but its okay"
He went down and went outside the library hall.
"Hmm oh that! Its a complicated technique. Are you sure you would like to learn this? The old elder he met back was there.
"Ah yes I would like to learn this"
He then went to his dorm.
"Hehe juniors these days are lively."
"Lets see.... What stroke should I learn first? Hmm? Whats this in the back? This is a Medium Divine Technique? Its pretty strong but why was it located there? Hmm lets skip that and try to learn the 8th stroke the" Withering flame stroke" sounds a bit powerful but I need this for my future missions, it can deal a ton of damage but can also cover my blind spots. It circles around me while it also can focus on one person trapping them in a circle like cage and withering their bodies. Its fast to use too."
He then went out of his backyard and practiced that technique.
