Ethan

Luke woke up after a couple of days, he had exhausted himself in making the water gun because he had to focus on too many things at once and he was barely able to finish the move, also he did explode himself with greater power than ever before.

When Luke woke up the first thing he focused on wasn't where he was, or the blue prompt in his face, but the horrible headache he woke up to. It was a horrible pain, imagine you get a stomachache from eating the hottest pepper in the world, but instead, it was in your mind, then multiply that by 100 and that was the pain Luke was feeling. After a couple of minutes of this pain, and Luke miraculously not passing out, the pain went away.

"What the hell was that for!" Luke screamed out loud.

Skill Bad Mental Defense(Passive) evolved into Skill Inefficient Mental Defense

You have a better-defended mind, you can also concentrate on more than one thing at once easier.

-------

Luke was a bit frustrated that he went through all of that pain just for one skill upgrade but then when his eyes drifted over to one of the other panels, a grin grew on his face.

-------

Gained Qi Technique Water Gun(Active)

By replacing parts of a gun with solid water you can shoot out water bullets or launch yourself or others.

Status - Incomplete, the host still has a long way to go before this technique can even be counted as complete.

-------

"SCORE, does this mean I can improve it even further? I can't wait to practice this move more."

After yelling in victory a bit more Luke felt something stirring in his belly are, 'Not again!'

After a couple of seconds of realizing what was about to happen to him the pain that he experienced in his head, occurred in an area inside of his belly, "AHHHHHHHHHHH."

__________

Far from Luke unknowingly to him planning for the raid of the sea area was commencing.

"Sect elders you know why I have gathered you all here today correct?"

"Yes leader, it's about our annual ocean training correct?"

"Yes, you are right 3rd elder, I need to ask you all of something. I have a bad feeling about this next ocean training trip, so make sure you go extra hard on our disciples, so they can be ready for the dangers they will face."

"Yes, leader!" All of the elders said this in unison and left immediately after.

"WHO IS THERE", one of the elders opened the door and yelled out.

When he looked outside of the door, but all he saw was an empty hall leading to the exit of the meeting room.

'I could've sworn I felt someone's spiritual energy outside of this room, well now matter even if someone was there nothing we said would bring them any good.'

__________

Outside of the meeting room, a person was running as quickly as he could down a mountain, he seemed to have made himself invisible with spiritual energy somehow, but if you were to see what he looked like you would see a guy with an inner disciple uniform on him, he had short red hair swaying through the wind on his head, he was about 5 foot 10 inches, and he had a very muscular build almost like he was a bodybuilder, he was also very tan. He had panic in his eyes, he was just eavesdropping on the meeting that the elders were having when he felt someone's spiritual energy land on him, and he bolted immediately, he was only a 6th advanced spirit realm cultivator, he couldn't handle an elder that was at least in the master spirit realm, let alone the leader which didn't even have a confirmed realm that he was in.

'HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT.'

He had just arrived at the inner disciple housing area, or mountain you could say. He then went visible and approached the gate.

"Well, well, well, look who it is. I bet you were off causing mischief again, Ethan.

"What do you know, Annabelle? I was just looking around for some things to buy at the marketplace, you know since you're so interested in where I am, maybe you want to come with me to a restaurant, so you can keep an eye on me", Ethan then winked at Annabelle and she blushed at first but then started getting angry.

She ran up to Ethan and sucker-punched him the jaw and he went at least a meter in the air and fell on his face, "It was just a question Annabelle, no need to get so violent", Ethan said while rubbing his jaw.

"Shut up, you know exactly what you did, so just go into the inner disciple area and get out of my face!"

"Alright, I'm going."

Ethan gave a light laugh and walked into the inner disciple area, where he had been located for the past couple of years, Ethan was 15-ish and already an inner disciple in the Orange Flower sect, most people guessed that he would become a core disciple before he turned 18, in short, he was a genius.

Ethan then started to walk towards his house which was one of the bigger ones, since he was in the top 10 inner disciples.

'The sea training huh? I heard that usually only the core disciples and the number 1 inner disciple get to participate for one of the 50 slots, guess I need to make a new charm for myself, good thing I stole a dragon scale from the leader a month ago time to put it to use.

'System, craft a strength charm with the dragon scale.'

'The host will have to pay...2500 craft points, is that ok?'

"NO OF COURSE IT ISN'T THAT'S ALL OF MY SAVINGS! Why are you so greedy!" Ethan wanted to say that but he could only accept it.

'Yes.'

'Processing...done'

At that moment a green and black talisman showed up in Ethan's hand.

You see Ethan had a secret he wasn't told anyone, even his mother. He had a crafting system.
