After Arkhen was recognized as the official core disciple after the test, he also gained massive popularity.

The most shocking thing was that everyone found out he was just a 2nd class powerhouse! But still managed to kill that 7th-class dire beast in one shot!

They knew that Arkhen was injured in the process of releasing his own attack, but even so, a 2nd class killing a dire beast of 7th grade only entailed one thing:

Arkhen was a super-elite powerhouse! Someone who was an inheritor or a legacy holder of some higher realm power!

However, everyone found out that he quickly disappeared after that test!

Not disappeared exactly, but Arkhen was in closed-door training to use all resources he had gathered, so far.

Strangely, none of the peak masters asked Arkhen to become their disciple, and Lady Rong also told him the reason for it.

Simply, it was because Arkhen would catch up to their strength sooner and would become their peer before they entered the 2nd realm.

Moreover, Arkhen judged to be having a legacy or an inheritance meant that he had a chance to have backing somewhere in a higher realm. It's better to have a good and favorable relationship with him rather than ask him to become their disciple.

After all, they didn't know whether Arkhen wanted to become a peak master's disciple! If they asked and he rejected, it would become a bit awkward.

As such, the peak master of Mortal Chaos peak told Arkhen that he could ask him for pointers or advice anytime.

...

Since Arkhen passed the test, two days had passed…

By now, Arkhen had used 6000 high-grade rainbow essence stones and reached the peak of the 2nd class by refining all three of his ponds to the limit and also finished his breakthrough to become a 3rd class powerhouse.

Following the breakthrough, Arkhen got a boon from the 1st realm. However, this time, it was not about creating a new skill! Instead, it was about making progress in his affinities! His consciousness drifted to a mysterious world of fire for one day after he reached the 3rd class.

That world was entirely made up of fire and had various profound fire-related structures and phenomena.

For one day, he was in a higher comprehensibility state where he understood the fundamentals of his fire affinity quickly as he explored that mysterious world.

Moreover, he also met people there who were similarly making progress in fire affinity!

As the day neared its end, Arkhen's consciousness returned to his body, and he opened his eyes.

One could see extremely tiny eccentric fire motes with strange patterns in them floating around Arkhen because of the progress he made in his fire affinity.

[Congratulations, my lord. You have made 79% progress in your level 1 fire affinity! This is an extremely good result]

Arkhen took a deep breath as his brain was still in overheated mode. After a few seconds, he felt relaxed and smiled. "I can already feel the power of fire even stronger than before. Let's see the panel."

——

| Affinity |

- Fire, Vanquish, Ki, Chaos, Order.

1) Fire: Level 1 affinity (79%)

—> You can consume primal energy to produce fire.

—> Overall control of fire-related skills increases by 79%.

—> Fire-related skills' damage/effects increased by 50% + 79%.

——

[In the future, the higher ranks skills will require a certain level of affinity to learn because they require very high control of respective elemental mastery in the skill. Also, making progress in affinity significantly increases your power, as you can see. A whole 79% of the increase in damage/effect aside from the basic 50%. That's big].

'Indeed. I guess I should decide on that chance affinity option to finally choose an affinity and also eat that ice affinity pill. But question is, Blood or Dark?'

[Yes. You should only learn skills based on your affinities as they will prove to be much more powerful and effective. With higher control, you can also execute them faster. As for the choice, it's up to you to decide].

'Sigh, it really puts me in a spot. Blood or Dark…'

[My lord! Sierra, her final trial is over. She is coming out].

Arkhen sprang up from the mattress on the floor hearing that a wide smile appeared on his face. "Finally…"

'Oh yeah, I need to tell Lady Rong about her.'

[Ahem, my lord. Just don't be shocked after you see her].

'Eh, why?' Arkhen questioned, but soon, he saw the space ripples spreading from him as a bright light appeared in front of him that blinded his eyes for a brief moment.

"Arkhen~"

The sweet voice of Sierra reverberated in Arkhen's ears as he remembered the last moments he spent with her and also remembered her true and pure love for him shown in the 1st trial.

"Sierra," Arkhen uttered with a happy smile as he saw Sierra in an exquisite dress and a beautiful butterfly hairpin on her gorgeous cascading long white hair.

Her face looked a perfect oval shape with a porcelain-white skin tone contrasted by the ting of pinks on her cheeks.

Moreover, she now possessed odd eyes! The left eye was deep blue, while the right eye was golden!

"I missed you so much, hahaha," Arkhen said with a happy smile from the bottom of his heart as he gently grabbed her waist and pulled her in before kissing her.

Sierra closed her eyes and had a blissful kiss with Arkhen before they hugged each other tightly.

"Arkhen, I am finally here…by your side," Sierra said with her smile reaching her eyes as a tear drop ran down her cheeks.

"Wow…alright. I was not expecting that, hahaha!" Arkhen loudly laughed as he looked at Sierra's power.

She was actually a 6th class powerhouse already!

|Sierra|

.

|Endowment| -> Abyssal Blue Brilliance Star

.

|Affinity| -> Water, Light, Dark.

.

|Physique| -> Lapis Harbinger of Abysm physique.

"So your physique gives you Water and Dark affinity while your Endowment Star gave you Water and Light affinity? It seems that you had your powers geared towards a proper build," Arkhen said with a grin.

[That is beneficial because sharing affinities with multiple power sources means that she can be very powerful with half effort. For your physique to get stronger, you need to make progress in Chaos and Order affinity, and for your skills to get stronger, you also need to make progress in other affinities. But Sierra only needs to focus on those three affinities, and they will make her Endowment Star powers, skills, and physique stronger].

Arkhen grinned at Sierra and grabbed her hands, "Let's get you into the sect officially as my wife. Haha, everyone is going to die of jealousy."

Sierra slightly blushed but nodded and said, "I didn't expect that I would become this strong in the 2nd trial, and after gaining the reward at the end of the 3rd trial that made me even more powerful."

"Yep. Your physique is also the one where It enhances you overall. Anyway, I've called Lady Rong, and she is coming here. Until then, let me tell you about my adventures."
