Chapter 18; A Future Enemy or Friend?
To his right were the line for the Beast Sect, there a crowd began to form and the cause of this sudden uproar was at the center of the crowd.
At the center of the enlarging crowd was a young boy that looked to be no more then….. years old.
Right now a furious violent aura was rushing out of the young boy.
[Name; Unknown]
[Cultivation; Core Creation Level 1]
[ Innate Ability type; Beast ]
Afzol was shocked beyond words looking at the states of the young man.
To think that someone soo young would already be at core creation. It was not the cultivation itself that surprised him but the fact that this child was able to reach core creation without any outside help. Afzol was sure that reaching core creation at this wasn’t a big deal within big sects but this child here was able to reach it without any resources so it could be imagined how fast his cultivation would improve after getting proper teaching and resources.
With this kind of talent he was sure to have an unimaginable future, all sects would fight to make him there disciple and he was sure to treated as prince.
As he thinking this more and more people started to gather around the child trying to get a look at this monstruos genius. People started to leave their lines to join the crowd which helped to only increase the disorder and soon the whole recruitment process was stopped.
Wale this was happening the cause of the havoc was standing and watching the crowd with smile full of pride and arrogance.
As Afzol watched the show Suddenly a powerful aura drowned everyone. The terrifying aura caused everyone below Body transforming stage to fall to the ground. Afzol was able to somewhat resist the aura with some pain but decided to sit on the ground as too not bring any attention to himself.
Although he could also show his talent and cause a commotion this was not something Afzol even thought of doing as it had little benefits and a lot of trouble.
For the boy the benefits of showing his talent are likely to be, getting top cultivation arts, maybe becoming a personal disciple of the sect head thereby so getting guidance from him and lastly getting resources.
As for why Afzol hadn't thought of showing his talent was because the first two of the three Benefits were pretty much useless to him as he had no need for cultivation art or any guidance for learning them as he had the system and his innate ability did not need him to cultivate but only needs for him to kill in order to increase his cultivation and as for personal guidance, this would not be of much to him as he had the AI system to help with that.
So the only beifet would be the resources which was tempting to Afzol but it was not worth the hassle as by showing your talent and becoming a disciple of the sect head would 100% create for you enemy’s which you might not be able to handle such as sect elders, and other disciples that would feel threatened of there future positions by Afzol’s talent. And this would not be worth a few resources that he could get using many other means.
Some could say this was a good thing as it would only give people he could kill and earn revenue from but if considered carefully the experience from killing a few disciples and elders was not much and would only result in him struggling within the sect. The main reason for going to the sect was to gain information of the cultivation world and he could get experience from killing beasts which was much less hassle. (Author note: I am sure that plan will work out)
If you see most mc’s in novels the reason they fight humans is to create pressure for themselves so that they can push their cultivation or techniques to new heights which is harder to do with low intelligent beings. This makes sense but is useless to Afzol who has full understanding of a technique from the moment he gets it, well that’s the case for now as most of my innate skills have been passive so far.
As Afzol was in his thoughts a powerful aura out of nowhere.this aura enclosed the whole recruitment area causing everyone to stop whatever they were doing as they felt their breathing harden as if the oxygen they could breath in was much less than before, everyone felt like they in race to devour the oxygen around them before it disappeared.
“Ahahahaaa ahahhaha luck seems to be blessing me today, to think I would find such a talent in this forgotten place. Bringing back such a talent I can finally redeem myself and return to the sect hahaha”.
As everyone was drowned by the mysterious aura loud laughter was heard coming from the sky forcing everyone to left there head to look at stare in ewww at the at a middle age man standing on a large surfing board that radiated with magical power.
The man and surfing board slowly descended from the sky clearly towards the talented youth surrounded by a crowed.
As the the mysterious man was landing everyone in the crowded backed away.
Now only the talented boy and the mysterious men stood facing each other.
"Afzol was able to somewhat resist the aura with some pain but decided to sit on the ground as too not bring any attention to himself."
P*ssy MC (sorry I must say it)
And my god, the MC loose all my esteem but he's just stupid ..... in an instant, I can understand that the MC can make a mistake or contradict himself (like in the restaurant where he kicked someone arrogant without knowing his status in front of all and leaving just after, so he gained nothing from this ... except an enemy more or less powerful, only time will said) but here his entire plan is f*cked up :-(
The reasoning of the MC is wrong .... In novel, the MC have real problem with some "bad" elders because the MC is a nobody who humiliate some grandson of his and gained his reputation from this (so the MC has no support there) . The"bad" Elder is then greatly humiliate (because his descendant can't even win against a nobody/normal disciple/trash so his descendant is then less than a trash/nobody. And killing this MC won't infuriate anyone since he isn't the personal disciple of someone) But if the MC is the disciple of an elder, then he has a background / support, he is not a nobody. It's not as humiliating if the descendant is beaten by "another" genius and killing the genius disciple of another elder will infuriate him (thus causing revenge) ... Here I said 'killing' but it's more 'trying to kill' since I don't think the master will let that happen (so the MC has protection from his master).
If the elders kill everyone who beat their young ones, then there would be no sect because everybody would kill themselves.....
But well, here the MC don't want to take the risk because he esteem his level up system prevent him from benefiting many of the usual benefits..... But it's WRONG.
Cultivation techniques are useful to the MC since this can provide the MC with XP when he don't find living being to kill. With a master, he could have had a "powerful" cultivation technique which can provide "a lot" of XP when practicing but as a normal disciple, he will have a basic cultivation technique which will give a lot less XP ....
The MC don't need cultivation arts .... WHY? A powerful cultivation arts mean more power and basic cultivation arts mean less power! A "powerful" cultivation arts will be more useful to be analysed by the system than lesser cultivation arts with a lot more flaws.
More ressources like high grade pills, good equipment, ... if he became a "genius" against normal pills,normal equipment, ... if a normal disciple. The MC have NOTHING right now!
"The main reason for going to the sect was to gain information"
Did the MC planed to gather informations thanks to his restriction to the 1st flour of the library of the sect? If he became the disciple of an elder then he would perhaps be allowed to have access to more flours.
THERE ARE SO MUCH REASON TO BE A GENIUS!!!
Look dude, I understand you have that view but maybe the Author wanted his personality to be like that. After he joins a sect, he himself would come to realize that and then start showing off. Why not go type this to those Main Characters' in other novels when they decide they don't want to be probed by some elder. He just wants to get stronger before he starts showing off, what if he shows off, gets a master early and then has to deal with disciples stronger that obstruct him (from the same master mind you)? What about if the elder has enemies that pop out and try to kill him while he's still weak? Then what? Force the Author to make him start killing people 2 realms ahead, or maybe you want him to start killing people 3 realms ahead? Why not let the Author write his story and when he asks for it then you give your opinion? Authors develop through constructive criticism, not tunnel vision perspectives. I'm not saying you don't have a point but the Author himself/herself (I don't really care which) has a path for the story, or he/she wouldn't be writing in the first place. I for one didn't like that he went to the Elemental Sect, but i'm not bit*hing okay? I want to see where he/she goes with this story by himself/herself. IF and I mean IF he asks for opinions why not give it then? Possibly not as assertive as i felt this comment to be reading it. Thanks for your time bud.
I was a little overheated when I wrote my comment so some of my words are a little rude, but my arguments are viable : The MC is overly cautious !
The risks you speak of are very low and they exist as long as the MC is in an organization ... As a "weakling", he won't be a specific target to others but he will not be very well protected by his organization either. As a "genius", he will be a target to some people but the organization will protect him more.
But I think this conversation will be useless soon because I don't think the Elemental sect won't evaluate the affinity of their new members and the MC, thanks to his lightning immunity (and probably perfect control or so), will be seen as a genius even if he don't want to ...
If you look at the comments I posted so far, you should know I said what I like and what I dislike, and I think it's important for the author to see why people dislike (or like) what he does in his novel. So I argument my dislike (and sometimes my like) but it's true my tone is a little rough when I post a dislike (the emotions are too strong ahah)
Like you said, maybe it's the wish of the author to make an overly cautious MC but this behavior will only slow down himself and be against his interest so I hope it will change soon (I don't want to say I want a muscle-brain MC, being cautious is a quality but here it's far too much)
Ohhh, okay okay. Also no i haven't seen any of your other comments, I just wanted to express my opinion on it after i saw your "tone". I get it now though and I can't say i know how Authors progress in their ability to make and portray a good story, so thanks for clearing that up for me and i understand what you meant from that first comment there now. As you mentioned though, the Author probably had the plan of that happening when he registered for the Elemental Sect, so....spoiler probably? xD
Anyway my dude, hope you don't mind but i'll hit you up in a personal message? No idea what it's called on this site, i'm pretty new if you checked out my profile.
Blob neutral
pu**y mc.. the beginning was good now hes just a pu**y.. what next? im in the sect and i'll keep a low profile and act like a pu**y?...
no updates for more than a month?...
Sorry is anyone having problems changing font size? Someone commented having problems and I am trying to fix it but can’t find where the setting for that is ?. My fault for playing around with the settings?. Let me know if any of u knows how to change it thanks. And enjoy the chapter
@Afzolh97 I fixed it for you. You and the others shouldn't have a problem with it anymore. Don't worry, it's not your fault.
Yo man its been a while since you uploaded a new chapter. Did you drop the story? Hey man, I am not judging you cause writing can be tough believe me I know. Sometimes you just want to run away from it but its always to better to stick to it and see it through to the end
