Dante woke up and looked outside the window only to see that the sky turned dark
'Fuck, how the hell did I end up sleeping till the sky turned dark'
'Damn I was just planning on taking a short nap even in this life I still manage to oversleep'
Dante could only sigh internally, at his own lack of awareness
"You're finally awake"
Dante turned his head looked towards the source of the sound to see Winton meditating on a chair beside him
As Winton opened his eyes he continued to talk to Dante
"You really made a scene this time Dante " sighed Winton
"Huh, what do you mean" asked a puzzled Dante
"You don't remember? After you awakened your martial spirit you went berserk, you even severely hurt an elder, luckily he's fine now but you should take time to see him and apologize" continued Winton
"Well I hope he's alright, all I remember is awakening my martial soul that's it. Is this something I need to be worried about, I mean randomly losing control" Said Dante
"You don't need to be worried" replied winton
"You only went berserk as you were too weak to control your released Martial Spirit, this won't happen again as by the time you're ready to realize your martial soul your cultivation would have dramatically increased,"
"Cultivation? Can I finally start cultivation? " asked Dante with anticipation
"Yes you can finally start cultivation but before that let me give you background on cultivation first," said Winton
"in this world, there are up to Seven known cultivation realms but you only need to know four for now"
"Seven? aren't we taught that there are only 4 known cultivation realms" asked Dante in surprise.
"aren't you forgetting something, I am the only person to travel out of the rippling wave continent I even made it across the whole of the rippling wave continent you know. When it comes to cultivation I'll be the most knowledgeable in the clan by far" as Winton said this a prideful smile that coulndt be hidden slowly appeared on his face
"anyway the realms go like this : "
1st the body refining realm
2nd the Martial novice realm
3rd the Martial Journeyman realm
4th the Martial Adept realm
But you don't need to worry about any other realm the one most important to you now is the Martial Novice realm.
The Martial Novice realm is the first realm with energy manipulation abilities allowing you to fully step past mortal shackles, ascending past mortal standards. you can use that energy to strengthen yourself or use it to cast martial techniques
The Martial Novice realm is composed of 9 layers Using your cultivation technique you attract energy from the atmosphere refining it for yourself and storing it in your dantian ascending through the layers of the realm until you eventually reach the peak
Cultivation techniques usually specialize in 1 or 2 elements.
It's best to use cultivation techniques of elements you have an affinity for as you cultivate many times faster when compared to using attributeless cultivation techniques or cultivation techniques of other attributes ."
"Well that was a lot of talking" said Winton
"Did you get all that Dante? "
"Well I got the most important stuff" replied Dante passively
"Alright then let's test your affinity then"
As Winton said this he pulled out a resplendent transparent crystal
"Place your hand on the crystal" stated Winton
Dante slowly stretched out his hand and placed his hand on the crystal expecting a flash of light but even 20 seconds later no reaction was seen from the crystal
"Strange" said Winton
"How come you have no elemental affinity "
"You clearly awakened a fire attribute Martial Soul this should at least grant you some small elemental affinity " said Winton puzzled
Thinking about the problem Dante remembered a phrase that he heard during the awakening ceremony
'Welcome to dragon dawn'
'Was it because of that phrase I have no affinity pondered Dante?' 'If I remember correctly dragon dawn was a game I was playing before in my past life why is it here' Thought Dante
While Dante was thinking to himself Winton also appeared to be thinking of something causing a melancholy look to appear on his face. Winton started to look at his space ring softly, stroking it lightly as if remembering a fond memory
"Sigh!"
Winton looked at Dante bringing out a silver cased book
"Dante take this" said Winton handing him a silver book
"hmm.. what is this "
"Moon king sutra," said Dante reading the title of the book aloud
" you can read through the book by yourself and come to me any time if you have trouble," said Winton to Dante
"Also take this," said Winton throwing a token to Dante
"You can take the token to the skill pavilion and pick out any amount of skills you want"
"You can also take the token and retrieve a spirit weapon from the spirit weapon store of the third Elder "
After saying this Winton left the room almost absent mindedly
Looking at the book in his hand Dante couldn't contain his excitement
'My path to power, it all starts here' thought Dante grinning wildly
'But before I start cultivating there's still something to do' he thought to himself
"System !"
