Chapter 706 - 650: Number 7 (2/2)
The Black Dragon formation put by Arthur was enough to kill him in a split second. There is also the Kang Clan elder, who will surely assist the couple if something happens.
The reason behind Casim's anger was the team of the Holy Dominion, composed of only two youths. One was a girl and the other was a young boy that had an eye-catching light-green short hair.
…
”Mr. Arthur, your disciples are truly amazing.”
Out of nowhere, the elder of the Kang Clan complimented the team of six, which startled Arthur, who was focusing on the fight between the monks and dwarves.
It was awkward hearing a person so much older than him speak with respect and politeness. In response, the parasite smiled and glanced at two guests belonging to the Kang Clan.
They sat a distance away and were engrossed in their own worlds.
”I could say the same for the young ones from your clan. But I can't help but to wonder why you have not let them participate.”
Elder Nord rubbed his small beard while contemplating something before he offered an honest answer.
”It's true that Amidel's children do not fall short on the geniuses there but they're a bit rash and their techniques need honing. The Patriarch wanted you to take them under your wing and train them properly but he was a bit too late as you already handpicked your team. He did not want to impose and force them on you so I've brought them here to watch.”
Isadore, who was sitting close to Nord, joined the conversation, his gaze falling on Emily, the young prodigy.
”I have heard of her groundbreaking achievements. She's the youngest Sovereign in the Cloud Sea Universe and is blessed with the Water Flow Physique. If the Kang Clan approves, I can pull some strings and grant her an entry to the School of Wonders.”
Elder Nord chuckled and, very politely, declined, ”The Kang Clan appreciates your Majesty's offer but there is no need for that.”
Hearing an immediate rejection, Isadore did not insist and just let out a sigh while retracting his gaze.

Bonus Lore: School of Wonders.
A private teaching institution located far North of the Cloud Sea Universe, precisely in the Gleaming End Star. Owned by the Star's End Consortium, which is funded by a group of people referred to as 'The Assembly'.
The School of Wonders is quite literally, a school meant to teach the geniuses and young cultivators of Cloud Sea but, on very rare occasions, it accepts people from the System or the Heaven and Hell Universe.
The requirements to enroll are extremely harsh and, even with a strong backing or wealth of infinite wealth, your chances of getting accepted aren't that high. The number of students never exceeded 50 and, each one of them excels in something, whether it's Physiques, Energy Manipulation, Formations, and so on…
Students there study for a maximum of two decades and, without exceptions, they all become extinguished individuals that eventually reach the Exalted God Realm or even a higher realm.
The School of Wonders dates back to the 4th Era, where it was initially built and funded by a single individual, who later created the Star's End Consortium. This person's name remained unknown even after his name but he was commonly called 'The Sage'.
Retrospectively, the title of 'Sage' was presented to a handful of individuals since the Era of Beginning. This sage, especially, was rumored to have reached the last stage of cultivation, the Mortal Transcendent Realm but he disappeared at the end of the 4th Era. Some historians claim that his search for a special world, called 'The Binary Dimension', bore fruit and he managed to reach his destination, never to return.
