Grandmaster josh looked at Grandmaster pius disdainfully.
Grandmaster josh: "didn't you hear my granddaughter? It's a privilege for you to have such a genius receive some of your teachings. If you refuse I can search for another person to teach her but don't expect me to treat you nicely. No one can disdain my granddaughter."
Clarissa was touched by Grandmaster Josh's love for her. He reminded her of her father from her previous life. He adored her and supported her from many people. Grandmaster josh loved her just as much and he was not related to the previous clarissa. She had to admit that maybe he did so because she was considered a genius but she knew that he had genuine love for her and even if she could have not been talented he would still love her the same maybe even more.
Grandmaster pius: "who said that I disdain her learning from me. Old josh do you think you can find someone better than me to teach her hypnosis? Clarissa, I'm willing to teach you anything. How about I join you in your journey then I can teach you some things on the way?"
Clarissa: "is that okay? I really don't want to disrupt your plans. I can just ask grandpa to bring me to you when we come back."
Grandmaster pius: "you're not disrupting anything in fact I think this journey will be good for an old man like me. I'll head home quickly to take some things then I'll join you at the Palace."
Grandmaster Frank: "I think I'll also go home to prepare some things for the journey. I can't let you two old men have all the fun."
Grandmaster josh: "okay you can go, we'll meet you at the Palace. Clarissa let's go we shall fly to the Palace."
Grandmaster josh took clarissa by her arm and then flew to the Palace. Those in the spirit realm and above could fly without worrying about running out of spiritual energy though the distance they flew was determined by their level of cultivation. When they arrived at the Palace twenty nine other geniuses were already there. Many of these young people had daunting and proud personalities. Others had simple and easy personalities and a few were cold and indifferent. When clarissa arrived she received odd looks as she came with grandmaster josh and also because she was wearing a veil over her face. As every participant was present the crown prince, Edward addressed them.
Crown prince Edward: "hello everyone, I'm truly happy to see the thirty of you whom have accepted the request to enter into the mysterious secret realm. This opportunity is for you to grow in your cultivation and also gain experience. I know the dangers in the secret realm and so the king has declared that whatever you receive in the secret realm shall not belong to the dynasty but it shall be yours. Except for divine treasures all other treasures shall belong to you therefore all those with storage rings will let the elders inspect them and the same shall be done after exiting the secret realm."
Most of them had storage bags which had a cubic meter space. These bags limited the things one could carry. Only five of them had storage rings. Their rings and storage bags were thoroughly inspected. Miss becky was one of the participants so was eve. Her grandfather, grandmaster Luis was busy trying to persuade her not to go on this dangerous trial but Eve was adamant on showing that she was not a spoiled girl who depended on her grandfather's influence. Clarissa observed the other people and noticed their will and determination to be very strong and firm. Except for a few individuals most of these participants weren't that talented but they were at least passable in terms of talents.
