getting ready, I left the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I soon arrived at the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin has told me that he would take a look at my skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive door opened, and I walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got closer to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw Master Austin walking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go to the fighting courtyard,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded to him before following him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we reached the fighting courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We stood in the center of the huge fighting platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, show me your skills,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I decided to show the lightning skills and blood element skills, but I decided not to talk about the soul skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always wondered why they couldn’t see that I knew soul techniques as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing down these thoughts, I started to show the Sword Divide Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword Divide” I channeled the purple essence through the veins according to the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circulation, I started to charge the black sword in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the black blade flickers with a purple glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung the sword, aiming at the metallic Puppet in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka#boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple beam shot from the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It went across in a straight line before striking the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic Puppet explodes into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic parts rolled over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning seed has made the lightning element more powerful and destructive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, I had to release multiple attacks to make the puppet explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, I just released one attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I know the metallic Puppet is many times better than metallic puppets in the inner post region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After executing the technique, I turned towards Master for his comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a simple sword attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are just charging and releasing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword is acting as a medium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s not real sword technique in some sense,” Austin said without many expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But when it comes to the mastery of that said technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are very good at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are just one big step away from completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you do that your attack moves would be natural,” He added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Completion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he talking about the Great Wheel,” I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, I noted down his comments in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I decided to show the Lightning Wheel Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, I continued to show one technique after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 2 hours later, “Apart from the sword technique, all other lightning techniques are good,” Austin said with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realizes that Zack’s cultivation talent is not only superior but also comprehension talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When it comes to the Blood Element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was surprising and understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood elements are so rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There aren’t many cultivation methods available, including the techniques.” “I’m surprised that you even got one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those 2 techniques,” Austin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess you are hiding one more technique,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that my heart skips a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before I could find a lie to convince him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “It’s the healing technique I’m talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you planning on showing it to Elder Ann?” I sighed inwardly, knowing that it was a false alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was scared for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a simple healing technique,” I replied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, practice your technique here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go and fetch a useful technique for you,” After saying that Austin left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my gaze towards the destroyed puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calming my heart, I started to recall the techniques in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Divide: Perfect wheel (Intermediate) 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Wheel: Perfect wheel (Intermediate) 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Phantom: Perfect wheel (Intermediate) 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Field Technique: Big wheel (Intermediate) 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Tower Method: Big wheel (Proficient) 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Needle Art: Big wheel (Proficient) 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning finger technique: Big wheel (Intermediate) 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Fist Technique: Big wheel (Intermediate) 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Healing Hand: Big Wheel (Intermediate) 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Drop: Small Wheel (Specialist) After coming here, I didn’t have time to hone my skills further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to hone my skills all day today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started to practice the techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in the blink of an eye, When it was dawn time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin appeared at the fighting platform again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he is carrying old, worn-out pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these seemingly worn-out pages have a record of dangerous lightning techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, come here,” Austin called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my Master’s call, I stopped my practice and went to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you have been practicing since morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can give it a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, take this blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unknown lightning technique is written in it.” “I had found it during exploration in my early days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate it, just because it’s a gradeless technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have practiced it as well,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that my heart set off storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is giving me a priceless technique just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought I had to earn points to learn such a technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess it’s the benefit of having such a Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has already given me a growth-type lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I’m getting another treasure again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After memorizing the technique, give it back to me,” Austin said after noticing Zack’s confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I received the blood and placed it in my storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I thought of something before asking, “Master, is there any place I can hunt monsters to hone my skills?” Austin nodded his head before saying, “You are already part of the 20th Monster Hunting Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can join them to hunt monsters in secret lands.” “This?” I became hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to show blood in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I participated in a team, then I had to act low-key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is not what I wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there any problem?” Austin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I want to hunt the monsters alone,” I replied, honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmmm,” Austin raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can see that Zack is not the type of forming and leading the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is more of a lone wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is a place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where you can hunt peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s one of the secret lands under the control of the Thunderflame Faction,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I was shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, does our faction also control secret lands?” I asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All secret lands are under the control of Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just responsibilities were divided among various factions,” Austin clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can go and take a rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take you to that place tomorrow,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I bid goodbye to him before walking back to my residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the residence, I went to take a cold shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I returned to bed to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day, After getting out of bed, I started doing the morning routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, I entered the training room to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My purple essence reserve is low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to fill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the training room, I sat cross-legged on the platform and started running the lightning scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 2 hours later, I walked out of the platform and started to get ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as usual, I reached the Golden Lightning Palace at 10 A.M.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw Master Austin was already waiting for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, you are here on time,” Austin said before grabbing my shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, we vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My visions were blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could think further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the vision became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed the place was dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I realized Master Austin had brought me to a secret place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, this place is an entry point to one of the secret lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is firmly guarded by Purple Rank Warriors,” Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This secret land will be not so dangerous for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the powerful monsters were already wiped out leaving behind only monsters under Commander Rank and General Rank for our students practice” “Here, take this token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one hour you will be automatically escorted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll come at that time,” Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, master,” I replied while receiving the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Austin said before turning his gaze towards the empty black space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took out a similar token before pouring energies into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token was completely charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then shot the token into space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token hovers in the air before a crack appears in the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the entrance to the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter,” Master Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I quickly entered the secret entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I crossed the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt my vision go black before I landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the vision becomes clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed that the sky was bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I activated my perceptual ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area surrounding me appears in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I picked one direction and started moving in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, I encountered a tree monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My perception picked up a movement from one of the tree roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no idea about the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it could be land filled with tree monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
