All this was just so frustrating for Zain not only did he lose the sword he had been trying to acquire for some time now, but he now had to fight over it.
looking at Elder Blitz, he had the strong urge to strangle him but held himself back, quickly thinking of how such an attempt could end, "okay! Fine, I will do everything in my power to get him."
"You have ruined my day elder Blitz," he said as he put on his cloak and left the store.
Things have been boring in the celestial heaven, I think things are about to become interesting, he thought with a mischievous smile while he opened his store.
Meanwhile, two communication orbs lit up, "all sect elders should gather, I have an announcement to make, no one should be absent, await my return".
Meanwhile In the capital Commander Nax was in an ongoing conversation, "Prepare the list of supervisors and make sure I am included as a chief judge, fail to do that and you are dead."
Commissioner Zou, who was on the other end of the transmission could be seen fidgeting, he had never offended the commander to be threatened to this degree, "yes my lord the adjustment will be made immediately"
"Then that should be all," he said as he ended the transmission.
Commissioner Zou, was left in thought as this task was not really of mighty importance to attract his attention, in fact, it was a task left got the lower rank officers.
It has unheard of for the general commander to partake in the entrance examination, not long after he had adjusted the list a knock resounded coming from the door.
"Who is there?"
"It's the messenger, word comes from the phantom cutters sect"
"Come in"
The messenger came in immediately handing a letter which was sealed with the phantom cutter's sect master's insignia.
"You can leave." He said as he received the letter from the messenger who quickly left a moment later.
Unsealing the letter he read inwardly in confusion, "What is going on, why does the sect master of the phantom cutters sect want his sect elders including himself to participate in the recruitment exam."
"First the general commander, now the sect master of the phantom cutter, maybe the king next," Commissioner Zou said in a sarcastic voice as he proceeded to make further adjustments to the list of inspectors for the entrance exam.
In a large hall about five hundred elders could be seen, all muttering in confusion, wondering why they had all been summoned on short notice, some of them appeared to the hall looking haggard and tattered.
All the bickering died down the moment the one who called the meeting appeared, "we greet the sect master they all said in unison as they bowed with their right hands on their chest.
Zain who had just stepped in spoke in a booming voice, "I will go straight to the point of these meetings, I want all the mind peekers on standby."
"The recruitment exam of the capital as you all know will be taking place in two weeks and this time around, I happen to be looking for a particular participant and I want him to be recruited to the phantom cutters at all cost."
"I don't know what he looks like, I have hints, first he has a weapon that surpasses my own." on hearing that statement alone all the elders gasped in shock, "but-but, master you have a sword with consciousness"
"Yes, I do" Zain responded, leaving the elders to their imagination, had it been another person giving this news they would never have thought that such a gem could be found among the examinees of this year.
This narrows down to why I need the best mind peekers, in order for them to use the minor details I have provided to find the boy, for the last hint his name starts with an L and an A.
"But master to initiate a bond with a weapon of consciousness you need to use your spiritual energy, if this young boy is yet to be awakened, how was he able to create the bond?
Zain on hearing this question began walking towards the exit of the hall only stopping a step away from the door, "he's just that special, so am counting on you all to find him, after that, he disappeared.
Laston could be seen practicing his movement technique in his inner space, being supervised by Magnus who has been forced into having a disciple.
'At least he is a fast learner' he thought inwardly as he clasped his hands together, "your body should be healed, you're good to go, and a piece of advice anything you learn in here try to perfect it with your real body, you might have knowledge of the skill, but if you don't have the body to execute it, it's practically useless
After nodding in affirmation to Magnus he disappeared from the sword space.
Opening his eyes, he could see Razor, who was smiling, starring at him, "Took you long enough"
"Wait, you knew I was about to wake up?" Laston asked seemingly confused.
"One of your friends told me, he has been keeping me company since you blacked out.
"That must be Castor, how long was I gone for?"
"Ten days," Razor responded
Laston immediately stood up, taking a few steps, then suddenly he tripped and fell on his face, he could have sworn he heard a soft giggle, but turning around he didn't see anyone.
"It's me you dummy, in your head, Laston was yet to get accustomed to hearing voices in his head, hence the situation he was in at the moment.
Standing up from the ground he took a stance then sprang off, but once again his leg couldn't support his momentum so he fell, just when he was about to crash into the door, lynx opened the door with a smile, but his face contorted in fear because the next moment;
***BOOOM**
"What the hell is going on here," Lynx shouted after being slammed into by Laston."
"Ha-ha-ha, you wanted to surprise us but you got a surprise instead," Razor laughed hard, tears forming at the corner of his eyes.
Lynx turning to Razor with a malicious glint in his eyes, "You know, I came across a place in the royal capital, where people are being sold part by part, selling you to those merchants won't be bad, your virgin blood should cost quite a lot.
Hearing this bead of cold sweat appeared all over Laston who knew Lynx to have a violent side
"Stop with the threats lynx," Laston said as he got up from the floor with a smile, seeing how shaken Razor had become.
"You know I don't mean that, just wanted to rough him up a little"
That aside you will be surprised at what information I have for you.
