"Now that we are away from prying minds and greedy ears, why don't you introduce yourself?" Elder Ling asked the new arrival once they were back in the camp area. 

"My name is Night, and I was born and raised in the Forest Valley Sect. I will be fifteen this year, and I have a strong Affinity for Fire techniques. Forest Valley doesn't do that, they focus on internal energy Manipulation and body refinement.

Unless they focused on a bestial path and only improved their body without any sort of other techniques.
