"Why did you choose this place to meet us?" Qingyuan asked. "I heard only a few players have been able to enter the Manor"
"Then I'm among the few that have been able to enter" Xuanyuan replied.
"You might be able to enter but what about us?" Yueying asked.
Xuanyuan merely chuckled and walked towards the Guards in front of the gates.
"My lord!" The Guards salutes once Xuanyuan arrived in front of them.
"Do you mind if I bring in my friends?" Xuanyuan asked.
"Not at all, my Lord!" The captain of the Guards replied. It even appeared as if the Guards was feeling a bit scared. That was a big realization for the girls.
"I didn't know he was such a big shot!" Yueying exclaimed.
"I think that's because of the Ninth Saint status" Shenrou said...
"Then from now on, allow them entry anytime they are here" Xuanyuan ordered.
"Yes my lord" The captain bowed.
"Follow me" Xuanyuan beckoned to the girls who went in with Xuanyuan.
"Who was that Swordman just now. The Guards were behaving so respectfully to him!" One of the players exclaimed.
"The Guards were usually cold and aloof. I've never seen them behave to even the Nobles among players" Another added.
"He must be above the level of Nobles then. He's a big shot!"
"He was even able to bring those four girls with him they are so lucky. How I wish I was in their shoes!" A female player lamented...
"How did you do that just now?" Yueying asked once they entered. "I mean those large Guilds are desperately looking for a way to get their members into the Manor. But you're able to do so with just a few words!"
"That's because I'm the city lord!" Xuanyuan replied.
"That won't work on me!" Yueying insisted.
Just then, a group of patrolling Guards passed by and stopped to salute Xuanyuan saying: "My lord!"
"You're really the City lord?" she exclaimed.
"It's a quest I must complete as the City lord of this city" He replied.
"Okay" They all nodded in realization but they still silently wondered what kind of quest it is...
"Xuanyuan, what do you think about we joining a Guild or Adventurer team?" Qingyuan asked as they walked around in the Manor.
"Why do you want to join one?" He asked.
"After Jade spear city was promoted, many are migrating towards the city" Qingyuan explained "The competition is now getting intense and unbearable for rogue adventurers like us and I think we can survive of we join a Guild"
"Why don't you join my Guild instead?" Xuanyuan asked.
"You created a Guild??" The girls exclaimed simultaneously.
"Not yet. But I'll create one soon enough" Xuanyuan replied.
"Then we'll be honored to join the Guild then" Shenrou said.
"Xuanyuan will be the Guild leader, Qingyuan and Shenrou as Vice Guild leader and I as the Chief Cleric! That's so cool!" Yueying commented with bright eyes earning a bunch of snorts from the others.
"But before then" Xuanyuan began. "I have something important to incorporate into you guys. Will you learn?"
"Of course!" They all chorused confident of the fact that whatever Xuanyuan taught them was priceless.
"Follow me" He said and led them to the inner Chambers.
"Who?" The girls asked warily when they met Snow Titan and the others in the training room.
"They are my friends!" Xuanyuan replied. "Try to get familiar with them because you'll be training with them for a while"
"Friends?" They were surprised. Xuanyuan was only sixteen and these nine looked like people in their mid twenties yet he called them his friends. They were old enough to be his Elder brothers and sisters!
"I met them in Jade spear city and they chose to adventure with me. I'm going to give you the same training I gave them" He said.
"What training?" They asked.
"Have a sit..." He instructed. By then, the nine had paused their training to listen to Xuanyuan again...
After three hours, Xuanyuan stood up and went to the door ready to leave.
"You guys should double up your training. You have more to learn" He said to the thirteen.
"There's more?" Yueying asked lazily.
"Yeah. Even if you guys are able to control Mana, I can still easily send you guys to the resurrection point" Xuanyuan said. "You need to train more harder and learn new things before you can reach my level"
"But if we're unable to grind levels, we'll fall behind other players!" Yueying complained.
"I also fell behind other players back then" Xuanyuan said "But now I've surpassed them" He continued flaunting his level 60 self.
"Once you train well, grinding levels will be so easy!" Xuanyuan said.
"Okay we shall train well" Xingyao said.
"Good" Xuanyuan said and closed the door behind him...
"How do you know the Sword Mage?" Shadow Empress asked the four girls.
"He's our classmate" Shenrou replied.
"Classmate??" They were stupefied. "He goes to school?"
"Yeah" They replied
"How old is he?" Astral sword asked
"16" they replied.
"Sixteen!!" This time they were even more astonished. A 16 year old Body refinement realm expert like the girls is talented but there are many like them in the Martial arts circle. But a 16 year old Void realm expert is frightening! All over the world such a Peerless genius had never existed. What was even more terrifying was that he rose to the Void realm from Body refinement in just a month!!
It should be known that reaching the Body refinement in before age 20 is already considered talented. Even for a talented expert like Snow Titan, she reached the Body refinement realm at age 19. Now she's 23 yet she's unable to breakthrough to the Flowing water realm. This shows how breaking through the realm was. That was even more so for the Void realm.
