CHAPTER 7: THE NEW FUNCTION
Naveen kept calm while hearing the entire story, but after a while, he smiled coldly and sarcastically laughed at him.
'Because that kid made Pulkit feel humiliated, wasn't Pulkit's plan to make me humiliated in front of all the disciples?' Naveen barked furiously.
"No, Senior Brother, you have misunderstood me! Why would I do something like that if you are my brother's best friend? You hadn't fought him, so how can you accuse me of trickery?" Ranjit Singh quickly defends himself.
"If that's the case, we'll look after him during the treasure expedition," Naveen said.
"Yes, there's only a month until this year's treasure expedition," Ranjit exclaimed.
Meanwhile, at a sparring ring,
Everyone bowed to Grandmaster Ronit with respect.
Grandmaster Ronit was a middle-aged man with a bulky body, a long face, brown eyes, and a shining rob with different textures that gave him a noble appearance.
"I wish there was some way to know the difference between me and my opponents' strength. systems, Is there something like this available? " Atish thinks in his mind.
Ding..
*Power calculator started.*
-calculated by adding all stats-
*Your power - 525*
*Grandmaster Ronit's power - 32215*
/
Atish, after being speechless by seeing this information started to come out and Grandmaster Ronit's power level was floating on Grandmaster's head, which only Atish could see. Not only was the Grandmaster's power level visible, but all the disciples who were standing within 100 meters. of power, 200, 345, 156, were all too low. Only Manavi and Diksha had 467 and 3524 power respectively.
This new discovery blew his mind away. Not because of this new power checking system, but the difference in his and Grandmaster's power was unimaginable. These numbers were really horrible for him to see.
"Diksha is level 7, which is only 5 levels behind Grandmaster, then why is the difference akin to heaven and earth" he got conflicted with different questions in his mind.
"You are Atish, right?" The Grandmaster asks in a calm manner.
Atish nods his head in answer.
"I want to see your power and also want to know what my little angel likes about you." The Grandmaster turns his head towards Manavi and says, in a teasing manner.
Manavi lowers her head because of shyness.
"So, what is your level and your ability?" We mostly train space techniques, so if you train something too different, we may not be able to help you. "
"I am at 4th level and I don't know my ability," Atish answers nervously.
Hearing this, everyone there, including the Grandmaster, starts to think, "Is he trying to fool us? How can he reach level 4 without knowing his abilities? "
"See, my little disciple, even if you are from the demon clan, we are not going to eat you, so please share it with me."Grandmaster Ronit asked in a loving manner, but the thoughts inside his head were like, "Just say once you are from the demon clan, I will just crush you to pulp here."
"No, I really don;t know my abilities, but I am going to challenge an inner court disciple. You can check that match if you don't believe me." Atish answers with confidence.
"Okay then, I would also like to watch this match."
Hearing this, one of the senior elder takes out a communication slip and summons all the top inner court disciples there.
They were a total of 10 disciples, with an arrogant look on their faces, which was indicating, "which bastard is trying to waste our time."
All the inner court disciples bowed to the grandmaster with the utmost respect after finding out he was also there.
When Atish checked their power points, he was quite disappointed that not even one of them had more than 500 power points. The highest among them was a girl named Smita, who had 490 power points. All the others were lower than 450.
After being summoned, the elder starts to state the rules,
Atish is one of our outer court disciples who is going to challenge one of you today. Here are some rules and keep them in mind.
He will choose anyone of you to challenge, so you can't question him.
Killing is not allowed.
If someone got killed in a spar, the opponent's' cultivation would be crippled with no question.
Remember to be friendly we are from the same sect so let us start.
After clearing all the rules in his mind, Atish enters the arena and points in Smita's direction.
When all the other disciples saw this, they roared in laughter.
"See, I knew he was just a simp trying his luck on a new girl now."
"But his bad luck this time. This girl looks fragile and cute, but she is the most powerful inner court disciple."
Without questioning anything, Smita jumps on stage with her usual haughty attitude. She was tall with a quite a slender body. Her beauty and strength were both on top in inner court area. Manavi was first in beauty and second in strength, while Smita was second in beauty and number one in strength.
"Sister, be gentle on brother Atish." Manavi pleads with Smita. As she knew, Smita was quite domineering and ruthless toward her opponents.
"It depends on his worth. If he is too weak and still dares to challenge me, I will not be merciful at all." Smita answers in a cold tone.
Atish and Smita start the match, the elder shouts from his usual spot.
"Be gentle on me, Miss Smita," Atish says in a formal way.
As for Smita, she did not even care about it.
Smita uses water power and throws water spikes at Atish's body at a speed where one's naked eyes couldn't even see it coming.
The Grandmaster was already sure that this kid was going to lose as he was just at level 4 and Smita was at level 6. He was just doing some timepass here because he was too bored in his hall.
But, what happened next surprised everyone. It was like water spikes touched Atish's body, but it became vapor as soon as they came near an inch of his skin. Seeing this grandmaster was shocked, "is he from the fire clan?" But not long after that, he denies that theory because he had already met many of them from the fire clan and none of the fire elemental aura could be found on this kid's body.
While he was thinking, Atish was in the middle of joy too, because he found that his system was using some kind of defense technique.
*move - water spikes*
*threat level-none*
*auto defence activated*
