The elders were shocked, not by the fact that Musk attained intent but rather by the methods he used to accomplish this goal. The moment he started to extract the essence of other techniques and used them to feedback to his stick technique made him unique.
His method was enough to study as it would provide most of them with some new direction to improve their combat power, as far as the realm was concerned, they all could see the benefits of this method to the younger generation.
Now even the sect master was facing a dilemma on how to reward, Musk, from what they have seen, he seemed to have combat to enter the inner disciple court. But what they did not know was that Musk had no idea about participating in the sect's inner disciple selection, less than a decade from now.
He wanted to take his time, polishing the fifth stage, and then when he entered the sixth level he would try for a promotion. If the elders knew this they would fly into furry and attack him for trying to exploit others. His current strength was enough to enter the inner disciple court yet in this moment he was planning on improving it further before trying, this was clearly making trouble.
He did not know the thoughts going into the elders' minds, about the inner disciple selection, as he was more or less focused.
In the passage of time, all the martial arts that could fuse were fused while some had issues, he planned to slowly ponder over them, and with time he believed it would be achieved. His will also seemed to have almost solidified and thus he dispersed the will when it appeared since he knew it could not be supported by his body.
Not everyone saw this, the supreme elder-level figures saw it and become solemn, not mentioning anything about it.
"Ancestor was right. This kid's talent is top-notch, and the fact that he removed all his foreign aura from the body with the precious drop of heavenly water no longer matters." One of the supreme elders was transmitting the voice to others.
Even though they did not communicate for everyone to hear, the sect master could see them nodding their heads obviously very satisfied with something. When the group disappeared from the room, a token with some golden star appeared in the room and floated towards the sect master.
"The ancestor approved. Use this for your disciple to enter the Island 300 years from now. As for that baby, take him with you. He qualified for a spot and he should have to enter the real island and experience the actual benefits that come with it. Oh! Make sure to use Karma water for them to soak in for at least a month before going into that place. Don't disturb us unless something important comes up."
The voice was obviously from the supreme elder that was always silent all this time. The sect master only knew that he once followed closely behind one of their ancestors, when he was young. His name is Duo Di, and he also followed their ancestor from the time before the sect master had even become an inner disciple.
When the supreme elder was gone, and the token still floating before the sect master Chen who was lost in thought, and when he felt some fragrance moving in his direction he was very decisive and caught the token.
"Senior brother! Do you think I will take something from you?" After putting away the token, did he turn around mechanically to look at the witch with a cute woman's face?
How could he believe this woman that seemed to always look for an excuse to get in his bed? He ignored her and looked towards the screen some elders seemed to be used to the drama between the two and had no shame so just stayed.
"Sect master!" One of the elders did not seem that willing to swallow what the rest were all thinking.
"After that kid finishes using the formation, how about sending him to the challenge arena, we should be able to see the actual impact of his cultivation improvements in battle." These words did not only get the other elders excited but rather Luo Wei on the side seemed to also be brimming with enthusiasm.
She even stopped trying to hustle the sect master, this old fox was not easy to fool. Sitting in the room, the arrays stopped and immense essence energy was being drawn towards Musk.
This was a sign of his breakthrough being accomplished and at the same time, the spiritual energy in his body undergoing a transformation, into a liquid state.
The immense essence in the room, almost drowning him made his transition process fast, and a large number of martial arts, he had fused together allowed his flesh, to be tempered. Along with it, filth was being expelled from his body too, resulting in a weird burnt smell in the room.
When the transformation of energy aspect was done, then skip in other aspects, which was all the Qi gathered in the body going towards the dantian, infused with his will and spirit giving birth to intent.
This essence was inexhaustible as it could self-grow, while absorbing heaven and earth energy all the time, it is referred to as intent. Those that have mastered intent to a very high level can even convert all energy around them into intent, and this is the reason that when someone attacks with Intent, their spiritual energy does not get exhausted.
The attacks on such magnitude are also not to be trifled with, just as he thought about in a clear way
Sitting there he was lost in thought and saw how he had evolved all the techniques from boxing to movement and finally the cane technique, he was relieved.
"By the way, why do I have this feeling the time I have spent on this place is more than my points worth." As he thought of this he stood up. And with a wave of his palm, a huge force descended before him,
With a thought, a huge force descended from all directions trying to squeeze him, and he sat down right in the middle of the force.
In the formation, Musk was unaware of the fact that the elders and even the supreme elders had been watching him when he achieved this step into the fifth stage. He was aware that at the moment he had stepped into the supernatural realm. At this stage, the essence of a practitioner is close to a millennium.
He decided to take a step into the library, most of the basic knowledge that he was somehow lacking.
His movement technique for instance seemed to have an aspect of space added to it, while the attack from boxing technique focused purely on power. Everything else was pushed out, leaving only the nature of basic boxing, and if practiced in a good environment it could allow him to temper his body.
The last was the cane technique, he added artistic conception from different other areas, such as the saber, sword, and spear. To the very moment, the transformation was undergoing right before the elder's eyes.
In terms of combat, he thought the three were sufficient and if anything were to come up in the future, all he had to do was to use, them as nourishment for the three. Studying too many things would not be a good thing, and since he had been used to this for a long time, he preferred it to remain like that
