Zhi! Zhi! zhi! zhi!
Over three hundred thousand kilometers away from the Battle God Palace, thunder and lighting danced crazily, as a horrifying storm passed over a large city with over 100 million people. Strangely though the city was still bustling with people.
Suddenly on a platform in the center of the city that was heavily guarded, a youth exited a teleportation array with red eyes and disheveled hair, it was Ouyang Li,after being rejected by the Battle God Palace he moved from teleportation arrays to teleportation arrays desperately trying to go home. Days later after spending his last bit of money, he finally arrived back home to the Evergreen City, shortly later he exited he fainted for unknown reasons.
A few hours later in a dark room Ouyang Li knelt on the ground.
"You really are a disappointment, if your brother was still alive something like this would never happen "A tall man said with a gloomy tone, it was Ouyang Li's father Ouyang Bu
" Father... I.... it is that bitch Catherina's fault "
" Shut up!!!! "
" You good for nothing piece of shit, you were given the best training, the best of everything , even when you rape all those girls and caused rumors to spread about us protecting you, I let it go, but it seem that was a mistake.. "
"Your only job was to join the Battle God Palace and stabilize our position as the city Lord family, but you couldn't even do that, you're so useless, do you think our enemies will let this slide" Said Ouyang Bu, evertime he spoke he felt even more angry.
"It's Catherina, she betrayed me and lied...."
"Shut up, you can still lie even in this position, I already know everything about how you broke the rules because a girl rejected you"
"Humph..your life has really been too easy "
"Father so what if they don't accept me, I can join other Sacred grounds with my Clone talent, anyone would accept me" Ouyang Li said urgently
"You no longer have a choice, your cloning talent is really useful for our assassin team"
"The assassin team is too dangerous, how will I become the next family head if I'm dead" said Ouyang Li desperately, he already knew the rumors about the assassin team, they took on the most shady jobs for Ouyang family, the assassin team will go after anyone who offended or was against the Ouyang family,not even leaving their corpse. This was one of the main ressons they could keep the position of Evergreen City Lord family for so long.
"Haha... your step mother is pregnant with your little brother so he can be the next in line, if he is also useless, I will have more, I still have a few hundred years to live, until then you better be obedient and make yourself useful in the assassin team" Ouyang Bu said without a shed of emotion
"And you better leave that girl's family alone or else humpphh....." Ouyang Bu didn't even bother to finish his sentence before he walked away
"Fuckk!!!!!!!" Shouted loudly alerting the whole Ouyang family.
"Don't think that your family escape my grasp.... just you wait....
.....
Back at the Battle God Palace
"In six months you will represent your Mountain peak in the outer disciples competition, but before that you better train hard during your lessons on the Main Peak,the disciples who usually perform the best in the classes are usually the ones that perform the Best in the outer disciples competition"
"If you don't want to embarrass your Mountain peak your better train hard "Said the beautiful female instructor.
In a room filled with 28 disciples, Flare sat quietly as he carefully listened to the Instructor speak
As soon as he woke up earlier this morning he went directly to the main peak carefully following Su Wei's instructions.Along the way he met the other outer disciples from the Weapon Hall so they traveled together.Along With the 500 disciples that were recruited during the entrance exam, almost 150 disciples were recruited privately, bringing this years outer disciple population to nearly seven hundred, two times more than previous years.
"Talents can be divided into Six major categories, Physical type, Elemental type, Spiritual type, Beast type, Weapon type and finally Special type " said the beautiful female instructor.Instructor Lily looked to be in her early twenties, with long purple hair and purple eyes, the boys in the class couldn't help but look at her with a fiery gaze.
"Everyone here falls into one of these categories or share characteristics of two or more categories"
"From left to Right I want you to introduce yourself, Name, how long you've awakened and what is your talent "
Flare was in the last row on the right along with the two outer disciples from the Weapon Hall.
The instruction were simple, it didn't take long for the first person to stand up
Azizi, awakened 2 months, S rank Metal Body.
Catherina , Awakened almost 2 months, S rank Mutated Radar
Yuki , awakened over 1 month,S rank summoning
Instructor Lily was shocked one after the other, although S rank rank talent is very common in the Battle God Palace, even S rank talents had tiers, these talents definitely belonged highest quality.
.....
Finally saw the only girl from his Weapon Hall refining class go up, Xia Ming, Awakened over 1 month, S rank Heveanly Hammer. Flare already knew. Everything about her except her name and talent name.
Next was his turn without much delay he introduced himself
"Flare, Awakend over 1 month, Growth Type talent Dragon Flames"
Everyone looked at Flare in shocked, everyone knew how precious growth type talents are to any sacred ground.
"What is your talent Rank right now" Instructor asked in stuprised tone
"B rank " Flare answered without thinking much
"not bad,you must have evolved it atleast once, do you know why Growth type talents is precious?"
Flare shook his head, he still didn't have the chance to ask any elders, ever since he arrived he was continously being fed information so he completely forgot.
"I would have tought you guys about this a little later but since we are on the topic let's get into it."
"Apart from talent rank, martial arts techniques and cultivation rank, in a battle there is one other important thing that can help determine the outcome, that is harmony. Harmony is basically how well can you control your talent or how much of your talent's potential you can draw out"
"Every cultivation rank has a harmony scale for your talent, from one percent to one hundred percent(1-100),reaching one hundred percent means you can draw out all the potential out of your talent as well as your talent control being at it's best."
"No matter how much you try and improve your harmony with your talent, it won't get any better after you reach one hundred percent harmony , you have to wait until You breakthrough in cultivation rank. However, evertime you breakthrough cultivation rank the harmony with your talent will always lower, sometimes down to one percent. "
The cause for this is really simple, you're not the only one that gets stronger when you breakthrough, your talent also gets stronger. After you breakthrough, your talent will unlock more of it's potential as well as it's strength being increased by alot, which is sometimes completely out of your control.
However as the saying goes it's better to raise a lion from it's a cub ,than trying to tame one when it's an adult,because you never know when it will turn it's back on you and kill you in your sleep Similarly People with growth type talents have being raising their talent from low ranks to high ranks, sometimes even starting at F rank , so they have a good connection with their talents, it will never betray them no matter how powerful it gets.So after someone with a growth type talent breakthroughs, they will keep most of their harmony with their talent , giving them an advantage in battle.
So while growth type talents are not better than any of your talents,until you increase your harmony to a high level, you will always be at a disadvantage..."
" If you want to increase your harmony without long meditations or special treasures it is useless..." even Instructor Lily felt a bit bitter as she finished explaining.
...
Flare listened to everything intently, not wanting to miss a single detail,he finally understood why his talent was so precious to everyone , although after it reaches S rank it won't be any better than any other S rank talent, his harmony will always remain superior, saving him time and resources.
That also explained why he could fight more freely than those he saw at Monster Horde,it was almost as if they were fighting with tight leach around them.
"their harmony must be really low"
Sitting down the next student in his row started his introduction.
