Today, like all days, you wake up in the dormitory shared with the other young Beast Tamer prodigies.
After a breakfast made of gruel, the gears of your mind shift.
How to work better with LienWen YanEr? Could you say anything to Sin Din and Ping Jun? You have absolutely no clue (nor will) for helping JiaLin and SterLing
Not that you have much more insight to help the other kids. But at least you feel more inclinated to.
You head toward the training grounds, where you meet eye-rubbing YanEr and JiaLin trying her hardest not to immitate her cousin, and the other kids coming from the city.
"<span class="mu-g">It's too early in the morning to start training...</span>
- What kind of nonsense is that? We are all woke up and clothed!"
Something is wrong. Two things, actually. First, a lack of the walking second-stage human dummies generously provided from the sect.
Second, what is waiting in their place.
The man looks strong. Taller than Ryota, a head covered in a wild, voluminous hazelnut mane of curly hair, holding on without any concern to gravity.
Muscles evident beneath is black gi tied with a grass green sash. A quick look with your mystical sight - Apertures, dimmer than Dantians, dimmer than Meridians, dimmer than Bones, which in turn are pale in comparison to a golden sphere. A Spirit Sovereign, as known as fifth-stage or Golden Core cultivator it is.
"<span class="mu-s">Hello fishes. I'm the dragon.</span>"
So the way Ryota arranged for your Fish Leaping Through the Dragon Gate was for you to fight with his Fist of the Green Dragon friend? You thought he was supervising a trial, not you had to face him directly!
Your group tenses up as the man's energy visually flares up - but the Golden Core, the Bones and the Meridians actually disappear from your vision, while the Dantians flare up, an energy reaching the Apex of Second Stage.
"In formation!"
Immediately, Ping Jun and Sin Din deploy their spiritual beasts, taking upon the wings. Dhundan, Meying and YanEr stepped forward, followed by JiaLin, Yi Norm and Ai.
You step back while Man Din take your place, and hear Ster Ling notching an arrow and drawing his bow behind you. You elect to observe before letting destruction rain from above.
A roundhouse kick sent both YanEr and Meying flying a few meters around - dispelling a couple of Yi's Monkey attempting to catch them back, which are immediately remplaced by JiaLin and Ai, starting up the <span class="mu-s">Intent Saw</span> with Dhundan.
The impressive man you're facing just caught JiaLin's sword strike between two fingers. Ai's soothing aura seems effective enough to prevent the young Lotus girl to take a bad pounding.
JiaLin uses the respite to disengage, letting room for Ping Jun and Sin Din to attempt a charge from opposite angle.
That's when Ster Ling unleash his Volley skills of him. The timing is perfect. You <span class="mu-s">JUMP</span> and join the attack, unleashing a shot.
You think your attack is slightly mightier than Ster Ling, but he clearly makes up with his rate of fire.
