Chapter 165 - Choosing their own paths (2/2)

Krune then thought about another thing.

”Oh, right! What happened with Joty? I haven't seen him ever since the end of the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam.”

Arlan was the one to answer that question.

”He sent me a message a day after the end of the test. He said that his Master would be bringing him away from the Sect for the time being to help him awaken his bloodline. As for what this bloodline is, where he went, or what he's gonna do, he didn't tell in the message.”

Everyone nodded, they were already expecting that something was different about Joty, and the fact that he was accepted as the disciple of a Legacy Elder is the proof of it. It might take some time until they hear about him again.

Krune then showed a happy expression and said.

”Since the majority is going to leave for some time, today I will prepare a banket for everyone. Let's eat and drink to our heart's content.”

The moment he said that, the ghost Master once more appeared by his side while expressing his opinion.

”Good, I want Flow Crow Egg Soup.”

Krune, once again, jumped out of fright.

”You- You! How many times are you going to do that? Besides, what is it with this habit of listening to the others' conversation?”

Lucio showed a puzzled expression and said.

”What you talking about? I literally just arrived, and all that I heard is that you are making food.”

Krune's mouth twitched, he obviously didn't believe it, but he wasn't sure if it was a lie either.

”Whatever, it's not like there is any big secret either. Go take a seat while I prepare everything. By the way, as the Sect Master, don't you have anyone to prepare food for you, especially ones with a lot of treasures and all of that?”

Lucio then said.

”I can have it if I want, but it is not the same as having your disciple cook for you. After all, I can't possibly be the only one giving a lot and not receiving anything back, right?”

Krune wanted to say that it was he who forced this Master-Disciple relationship but soon gave up the idea. Chances are that he will get even angrier. Besides, it's not like he hasn't cooked for more people and demon beasts before either.

As for everyone else, they already gave up trying to understand what this all-powerful man is trying to do anyway.

Later that night, Krune called Lakin and Ruik over.

”How has the wisps and demon beats training going?”

Ruik immediately answered.

”The demon beats and wisps are using the training equipment of the Rainbow Sect as planned. According to what you said, we only let them have access to the Soul Techniques after the clear the first tests. As for Legacy Disciple Techniques, only Lakin has cleared the test so far. To be honest, I don't think I will be able to clear it even with the Spiritual Energy Meridians' help. The Soul is not my specialty, after all.”

Lakin then said.

”Ruik is right, Master. The other demon beasts had also just barely passed the first tests, and that was after they finished the Soul Tempering. Shinja and the others also tried the Legacy Disciple tests, but they also fell short. Shinja was quite close, but in the end, she also failed.”

Krune nodded, it wasn't like he wasn't expecting for it.

”It is okay, just keep following the rules that Hasik had stated. I believe he had a reason not to let anyone who hasn't cleared the Legacy Disciple test to check those Soul Techniques. Not to mention that I promised him that I would follow the rules.”

Krune then looked at Ruik and Lakin and said.

”From now on, I will leave everything related to the equipment in the pocket dimension up to you two. You can select other wisps or demon beasts to help with that as well if you want. Only call me if it is something really important. Otherwise, I trust any judgment you make regarding this issue. I won't be able to care for so many things at the same time anymore, so I better deal with it now.”

Lakin and Ruik looked at each other and then nodded.

”No problem, we are not disciples of the Divine Path Sect, so we have more time available.”

Krune nodded and then said.

”That correct, but remember that menial Disciples also have the right to take some simple missions. Don't forget that, depending on the results, even joining the Outer Sect isn't out of the question.”

Lakin and Ruik nodded once more. They had already inquired about everything that Menial Disciples like them can and can't do.

Krune then spent some time with Lakin to help him with his training and then went back to cultivate. He intends to enter the Core Formation Realm before leaving the Sect for any reason.
