บท 46: One month challenge [2]

"I will give you a three-month challenge!"

"As you have chosen that boy to be your disciple, you need to prove to us your choice was right. In three months, your disciple must reach the Spirit Disciple Stage and should be able to beat a Spirit Beast on his own. This is the challenge I will give you."

"And if you and your disciple can't do it, you have to take another disciple that we have chosen. That's it."

[Ding!]

[Main Quest #1 - Part 1 has been activated! More information in the Quests...]

At the time the Sect Master ended his sentence, the system showed a notification about the Main Quest activating.

{I will look at it later.}

[...Yes, host.]

"What are you saying, Sect Master? His disciple isn't him!"

Suddenly, one of the three elders who were happy about Rong Yuan's achievement shouted with anger.

She was one of the teaching elders of the sect, a Swordmaster, Lady Guo Yu.

She was one of the close people Rong Yuan made in the sect with the other two elders.

"Thanks for your care, Senior Sister Yu. I will handle it."

Yuan was happy to see his Senior Sister who always backed him up, she was true of a sister to him.

So he didn't want her to join in this.

He slightly looked at the elders one after another, and his gaze finally stopped on the Sect Master.

He was gonna tell his decision to everyone.

[Wait, host! When you're accepting the challenge, just say that you will do it in one month.]

{Why?}

[...It's one of the quest's conditions...]

{...Ok.}

Rong Yuan was of course going to accept the challenge and it wouldn't be hard for him to guide Huan to reach the Spirit Disciple Stage.

But in one month...

It was nearly impossible...

"...Yes. I will accept the challenge the Sect Master has given me. And I will complete it in one month..."

"Huh?"

"Did he say one month?"

"Is he crazy? Talented geniuses are only able to break through one level in three months?"

"And he is saying he can do it in one month?"

"Whatever, it is fine for us if he fails!"

"Yes, you are right!"

The opposing elders were angry with Yuan at first but after understanding the situation they instantly became happy.

They even talked in front of the Sect Master who was on Rong Yuan's side because they knew he wouldn't change his decision when Yuan has already accepted it.

{What? Why did he say he will do it in one month? Is his craze illness acting up again? I need to change it somehow!}

"Little Yuan, will you be able to do it?"

When the Sect Master was gonna ask Yuan to change his decision somebody else already spoke and he was powerless to speak against her.

"Yes, I will be able to do it. And thanks for your trust in me, Aunty Ann."

Rong Yuan spoke gently to the Vice-Sect Master, Lady Feng Ann.

He called her 'Aunty Ann' because his mother and were close friends with each other, so he saw her a lot when he was young. Furthermore, she was the one who asked him to call her 'Aunty'.

She was like a mother figure to him after that incident...

"Sigh... Now it has come to this, we will wait till one month passes, and even if you can't do it in one month, I will prolong the time a little as this is unfair to you and your disciple."

"Thanks. But don't worry we will be able to do it in one month. Just believe in my words."

"Hahaha. That is how a man should be! You are nearly as awesome as this Awesome One! Good!"

The Sect Master started his usual 'boasting' again.

"Good luck! Little Yuan, I believe in you."

Lady Feng Ann spoke with a gentle and beautiful voice.

"Yes, and you can ask about your schedule from the Hall Master of the Resources Hall. He will tell everything to you. You can meet with him tomorrow as he isn't here."

"Ok, I will do as you said."

"And, regarding your Peak, it will be finished in one week. Until then you and your disciples will be staying in your respective rooms. And you have to have at least 2 disciples to move into your Peak."

"Thanks again. I will keep that in mind."

"Now you can leave. We will have another discussion regarding the upcoming Tournament with the others."

"...Yes."

After that Rong Yuan slowly left the Sect Master Hall, he was interested in the Tournament, and according to his memories, this Tournament's title was the Fire Dragon Empire Championship Tournament.

This tournament was to choose the best of the best in every cultivation Stage until the Spirit User Stage.

He didn't have that much information as he didn't participate in it in his past life.

And he knew that their disciples were defeated on every level which shocked the entire Empire as their Hundred Swords Sect was the current number one Sect in the Empire.

And after that their reputation decreased a lot...

He didn't have any idea about it and...

Now, he has to worry about other things...

* ** ** ** ** *

When Rong Yuan entered his new room which was located in the Elder's Living Palace, he didn't have any reactions as he saw this place before.

Then he walked and sat down on a chair.

{System, show me the quest.}

[Ok.]

* ** ** ** ** *

"Haaa... What do I do now? Making Huan reach the Spirit Disciple Stage in one month? I would have been able to make him reach the Peak of the Spirit Body Stage..."

"Sigh!"

"I think I will try that training in Huan..."

[What training are you talking about host?]

"You will find out later as I'm thinking about something else right now."

[About tomorrow?]

{Yeah, it is gonna be tiring tomorrow as well...}
