Sedron Forest

Goldsea kingdom contains twenty districts,meaning there are twenty dukes in charge of each district,a duke is not randomly picked the position is only open to some certain families.

Goldsea kingdom is ruled by Goldsea royal family,it is only this family that is privileged to the position of king in Goldsea kingdom.

The kings and emperors of various kingdoms and empire in Greatcliff were usually the strongest in their territory.

This is always discovered through a battle,this battle always take place before the king takes over the throne .

He has to battle with the strongest warriors in his kingdom,and must defeat every one of them,if he fails to do so then he would be declined of the post of king.

But even with this,it doesn't verify him being the strongest,even the king himself knew this.

Kings and emperors in Greatcliff were regarded as guardians in their various kingdoms and empires,meaning that their main job was protecting their kingdom and empires.

To the people they were sacred beings who should be worshipped.

"Rise"

Said Patriarch Lawrence with deep seriousness in his tone.

Ethan instantly rose up not bothering to clean the dirt on his dress.

"The competition begins in one month from now,but you would not instantly participate in the district competition you have to go through a wing district battle"

Wing district battle was a battle meant to pick elites in each wing district,it would be impossible and irrational for every warrior in each wing district to just go and participate in the district competition.

So it was developed to sieve and reduce the amount of warriors that participate in the district competition.

"What you need now is practice,how do you plan on doing this"asked Patriarch Lawrence.

"I would train myself in a Sedron forest"

Ethan didn't think twice before he gave his answer.

A Sedron forest is a forest where Sedron beast are mostly found,Sedron beast were very powerful beast that wields amazing powers they even had the ability to cultivate and increase their powers,wild beast which Figlake clan hunted were ordinary beast that a non cultivator could easily kill.

Ethan wouldn't dare to go to a Sedron forest in the past,but now that he had evolved his talent he now had the ability to survive in the forest.

"That's thoughtful of you,I would advice you to leave now as you really need to train hard the future of our clan depends on you"

Ethan nodded his head,the pressure was just to much on him,it felt as though he carried the whole clan on his head,he clenched his fist hard,he determined in his heart not to disappoint his clan.

"I would take my leave now"said Ethan.

"Ethan"

"Yes clan head"

"Be careful don't go too deep in the Sedron forest"

"I promise not to go far"

Ethan bowed towards Patriarch Lawrence and the members of his clan and immediately left the gathering for his one month training in a forest full of dangers.

Patriarch Lawrence felt bad has he stared at the lonely figure of Ethan as he walked away,he knew that the pressure placed on Ethan was just too much for someone of his age.

He would have chosen another way if there was,but the only part revealed to them was through Ethan.

Patriarch Lawrence allowed Ethan to go alone to the forest because he believed that nothing would happen to Ethan as he is experienced in surviving in a forest.

Patriarch Lawrence believed that all this would help sharpen and build Ethan's future.

The members stared at Ethan with worry and gratitude in their eyes.

They were worried about his safety,nothing must happen to their hope if it was possible they would have prevented him from going but a warrior must face challenges.

As impeccable as Ethan seemed to be in the sight of his clan members,there was a flaw on the structure of Ethan.

The flaw was not directly from him but his parents,his parents fled the clan six years ago due to the financial state of the clan.

They had left Ethan behind in search of perhaps greener pasture.

The members were worried that Ethan would one day also leave either in search of his parents or probably also in search of greener pasture.

"Let the evolution continue" said Patriarch Lawrence snapping the members out of their thoughts.

**************************************************************************************

After hours of walking Ethan finally arrived at the forest closest to his clan.

He walked into the forest with anxiety in his heart he had buried and locked his thought about the clan in his heart.

All he could think about is battling beasts.

The forest was filled with huge and ancient trees,the plants were very thick and durable far more than normal plants.

He had not walked for long when he suddenly began to hear the rustling of leaves.

He directed his eyes towards the place where the disturbance emanated from.

The leaves shook again but this time more violently,this gave Ethan gave more assurance that a beast was behind the leaves.

Ethan immediately took a battle stance as he summoned his sword.

The sword appeared on his hands and to Ethan's utmost surprise the weight of the sword made his shoulder drop.

The sword was to heavy compared to a normal sword, the sword surprisingly was still with the scabbard.

Ethan tried to pull out the sword from the scabbard but it seemed as though the blade was stuck as it refused to pull out.

He pulled the sword with all the power he could summon but it was all futile.

He even circulated ring power in his dantian through his hands but the sword refused to come out.

After evolving his talent he was already able to cultivate ring power in his dantian.

He was frustrated and angry how would he make use of his sword when he could not pull it out of its scabbard.

The sword was gigantic it was thirty inches long and five inches wide.

The beast behind the leaves finally decided to show itself as it pounced out.

It was a wild tiger with bloody eyes filled with viciousness and ferociousness.

It roared at Ethan as it walked towards him with steady steps.

Ethan shook his head it was just an ordinary wild beast,he would use this beast to cool down his anger.

He held the sword with both hands as he would not dare hold it with one hand,he would not be able to run perfectly.

Ethan raced towards the beast with a speed that even him was surprised at.

The tiger roared in annoyance as it also sped towards Ethan.

Wild beast were not wise they only acted on instincts, if not this tiger would not have dared to show its face before Ethan.

Ethan quickly covered the distance between him and the wild tiger.

Ethan sent his huge sword towards the head of the tiger.

The tiger tried to dodge but it was to slow and weak to evade the calculation and speed of experienced Ethan.

The sword descended towards the head of the tiger carrying with it a colossal force.

The sword finally reached the head of the tiger and surprisingly it sliced through the body of the tiger like tofu dividing it into two equal parts.
