Omni-Mastery 325 Despicable Representative

Putting away all of my other reasons for joining a certain sect, what mattered to me the most was the execution of my plan, and while I could simply alternate to 'Plan C' or 'Plan D' if I chose to join another sect, the offer put out by the 'Elemental Blade Sect' was one that I couldn't refuse.

Naturally, I wasn't just being enthusiastic about becoming the sect master's personal apprentice for the usual reasons, it was actually because it was a major part of my 'Plan A' to climb up and get that position as fast as possible…

Getting this offer from the sect that I choose to join in my first plan, wasn't only going to save me time, but it would also increase the chance of my plan's success by at least 10% or more!

As such, debating whether to join another sect or not seemed like a foolish action, especially when the other choice was the secluded 'Cult of Elements' that isolated itself from the rest of the sects, which was bound to implicate my plan's progress if I resorted to join the cult just for questionable benefits.

'Humph, seems like your sense of judgement is flawed after all, the elementals must have been blind to give you that much affinity… You naturally won't live to achieve much if your short sight mentality isn't fixed, we have no need for an apprentice like you!'

As soon as I announced my choice, I noticed that the black robed representative shook his head as he sent me an angry sounding message along with a…

"You are…" just as the green haired representative wanted to show his simple acknowledgement, he stopped for a second...

'Childish acts…'

He was actually bold enough to send a hostile fragment of his mental energy, which was an extremely vile act that seemed to show how conceited that representative was. I did almost have a better impression of the practitioners of the domain after seeing the example of Mountain, but it seemed like there were exceptions to everything, and I was leaning towards the fact that Mountain was the exception…

Such a hostile mental fragment was more than enough to turn any person who didn't practice mental energy into an idiot, it was almost similar to crippling their brain, it would practically destroy that person's future no matter how talented he was, which is why it was agreeably a banned act.

Due to the mental energy's illusory nature, the methods of knowing another person's level of achievement on the path of mentality were almost non-existent, which is obviously why he didn't know that his attack would do nothing other than giving me an extremely negative opinion of him.

As such, it was very likely that he only made a guess that it would be almost impossible for me to have practiced my mental energy along my mixed-path practice, and thus wanted to give it a shot, ultimately wanting to ruin the seed that he couldn't get his hand on to stop the already leading 'Elemental Blade Sect' from rising even more.

Naturally, unlike what he expected, his vile act was like nothing more than trying to use a small sharp pebble to scratch a steel door, it was simply laughable.

'Let's not judge that whole sect because of a foolish one's act…'

Of course, I wasn't going to pull the whole sect under the same curtain, but I was naturally going to keep my distance from them, this guy was supposed to be their representative after all, what he exhibited showed a part of their nature nonetheless.

This made me slightly worried about Sean, but that thought only lasted for a second, he was quite the intelligent guy as well, so I was simply wasting my time by worrying.

'I should deliver some of the payback for now…'

"Ah…"

A sharp shriek could be slightly heard before it died out, the source of the voice seemed to be the representatives' platform, but it was hard to notice who was the exact source of it as it was suppressed too quickly.

However, unlike the rest of the people, I knew the exact source, it was naturally the conceited representative who has just suffered from a mental backlash, which was the result of me destroying a fragment of his mentality.

Just from this simple act, I could already sense the hostile vibes exuded by the cult's representative towards me, he obviously expected his mental fragment to finish the job and return safely, but he ended up losing a part of his mental energy for good and it was likely that he wouldn't be able to use it for a month or so…

Although it only did little damage when compared to what he wanted to happen to me, it was a bit satisfying to have him get a taste of his evil acts.

'That's… This guy is really despicable, I was worried I would be too late in helping, but it seems like I wasn't even needed, I guess you really do have the chance of becoming the sect master's apprentice…'

"Mhm, you are already part of the Elemental Blade!" the green haired representative nodded before acknowledging my entry to the sect with high spirits, he almost reached the bulky representative's enthusiasm.

The observers that filled the Colosseum looked slightly perplexed due to the representative's pause and the small shriek that they heard, they naturally weren't able to understand much of the small exchange that took place and was almost responsible for destroying a genius's future as merely a few seconds had passed…

"Now that all the sectless members of the top 20 have exercised their privilege to join the sects that invited them or the one that they wanted to join, it's about time that the rest of this year's honour roll is revealed!"

"Starting the roll we have No.1 the overall top ranker of the tournament coming from the 'Elemental Blade Sect'! For the overall No.2 we also have another member of 'Elemental Blade Sect'!"
