Chapter 505 Hot on the Trail

The Half Moon Sect was unlike anything Daniel had ever seen

In Daniel's universe of origin, a sect was an organization whose main focus was to spread the notoriety and influence of a certain path of cultivation orany students they dee ti thenature path until that very discipline would beco

This personal connection between the sect and the students was e the sect could teach them, they would develop a form of loyalty towards the sect This loyalty would prevent the, and instead, would convince the the path that the sect had taught the of these sects would be accoer for the students, but in order to ensure a constant level of expansion, and by extension a continuous increase of influence and notoriety for the sect, infighting, or any form of self harm within the sect was heavily prohibited In order to prevent these practices, the resources distributed by the sects were based on merit and rank And would usually be consu to steal another student's possession

This in, separated a sect from a school

The way in which the sects that Daniel knew differed from the Half Moon Sect, and every other sect present in the territory that fell under the domain of the aspect of Competition, was in fact, co a few days into the Half Moon Sect, Daniel had realized that none of the rules that prevented the young cultivators of his universe fro one another existed in this sect, and in fact, the , killing, kidnapping, threatening and even worse was allowed in this sect, and that was because as champions of competition, any rule that invalidated any form of competition, was severely frowned upon

In the last few days, Daniel had uage by walking around the territory of the sect, and listening to thousands of young disciples speak It was only thanks to a mixture of trial and error and his boosted perception, that he had ed to achieve this But alas, that was not his first option

At first, Daniel had decided to enter one of the sect'sthe words fros much easier for him, but unfortunately, ruh the sect Wherever he went, he would be treated as so him to be ridiculed by those with a lower cultivation, and despised by those with a sis even worse for him, was the fact that rumors which claimed that a contestant for the rulershi+p of the universe had appeared in their sector, as well as the fact that he had already been sent to the half hout the sect

Once that notion becaan to e event that took place in the sect, and before long, due to his sudden and timely appearance in the sect, Daniel had beco one of the competitors for the rulershi+p of one of Coreatest honors for his chaed brain had stolen that opportunity from the extremely competitive students of the half moon sect, was unacceptable

Luckily, the sect's free competition and lack of rules did not breed stupidity in its students Or at least, not in the minds of its inner and core disciples, who, as soon as they realized that Daniel was currently the only person that had been selected to compete for the universe's rulershi+p, understood that despite the lack of care hich he was treated in the sect, his existence was still of some use to the leadershi+p of their section of space, and therefore, he was untouchable

That was so that Daniel had learned from the many of the conversations that would take place in his presence

-----

Four days had passed since Daniel had been thrown into the Half Moon Sect, and likearound the sect's territory

With clean clothes and an emotionless expression, Daniel left his personal cave to find hi cultivators Most of theotten used to seeing him walk around, while some others would still turn to look at him with hostility, irritation, and jealousy However, none of them dared to take a step in his direction

Before the ru the a competitor had reached the ears of the outer o through the treatle new student of the sect, and that was to be stripped down to their underwear, be robbed of all of their possessions, and be beaten within an inch of their lives

When these students had tried to do the same with Daniel, however, as soon as their hostile aura cahtered the their bodies into unrecognizable slices of flesh, and erasing their souls and minds with swords of absolute darkness

He had done so in full view of the thousands of outer students, and many inner students that would often come down from the mountains in which they resided just to enjoy the initiation of the newcomers, as well as to receive the tributes from the outer disciples as ”protection fees” Daniel had decided on this course of action not only to prevent others fro hi

While simple minded, Daniel's character needed to show a competitive spirit supported by a passive, and yet ruthless personality which was all that was left when his memories and social skills had been taken away fro those qualities his cover as Competition's chosen one would be believable
