20: Start of a new career

3 days steadily passed and Wen had already broken through to the Golden Core Realm. His body cultivation also increased but not as much as his Spirit Cultivation. It had only gotten to the 1st stage of the Hardened Body realm. However, this was impressive because he only trained for 3 days! He also cultivated using 3 techniques at the same time, the 3 Spirit's Spirit Cultivation and the Ice and Fire Dragon's Body Cultivation technique.

On the 5th day, Wen was in the sect the Divine Sword Sect's Entry Exams ended at midnight. Wen had also secretly skipped the ceremony which was unluckily unnoticed except by one person. However, Wen already knew that Talen would only tell the elders who would do nothing to him. Though, Wen did have to be careful around the elders, as most of them were in the Earth Realm while some were even in the sky realm!

Wen already decided in his planning, firstly, he would become Core Disciple. He also gave himself a time limit, to kind of pressure himself into training harder. The time limit was 1 year to get to become a Core Disciple, half a year to befriend Sun Qian and Sun Yang, and the rest of the time to get into the palace.

Wen sat down at the training grounds, wondering what he should do now. All he could do was cultivate all day, but, that was getting boring. With nothing to do at the moment, Wen decided to check the talisman his father gave me.

In Wen's hand appeared a scroll, brush, and some ink in a small jar.

-BzZ! BZz! BZz! BzZ! BzZ! BzZ! BzZZ!

The scroll suddenly vibrated, making Wen's hands feel numb. "What the?" Wen opened the scroll.

[ 5 days ago: Hoy, read this! I need to tell you something, respond!

5 days ago: What the fuck are you doing, did you get in the sect?!

4 days ago: WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED ANSWER!

4 days ago: Did you put this in your ring!? I'm going to beat your a**.

3 days ago: Wen, you alright? Answer before I personally go over there to beat your A*S!

2 days ago: MESSAGE ME!

1 day ago: F*CKING TALK!

]

"....What the absolute hell? Is it supposed to vibrate when it gets a message? Kind of like those electronics back on earth?" Wen couldn't help but compare.

< Affirmative but these don't need what you call, 'Wifi'. >

"Wow, that's nice, but, it should be powered by something, no?"

< This is a type of treasure, or an artifact, whatever you want to call it. It doesn't need to be 'charged' by any outside source, it can in a way charge itself if you give it some rest. >

Wen started looking at the treasure more respectfully. "I guess all I do is just write on this thing?" Wen opened the scroll wider and started writing down on it.

[ Sent: Hello father. ]

"That's good enough to know that I'm alright, right?"

-BzZ!

[ Just now: Wen, how many F*CKING TIMES HAVE I SENT YOU MESSAGES! ]

[ Sent: Lemme see... 7 times? ]

-Bzz!

[Just now: And thus, you did not answer to ANY OF THEM UNTILL NOW!]

[Sent: Um, dad, 'until' is spelled with only ONE 'L'.]

-BZZ!

[ Just now: DO YOU THINK I CARE?!]

[Sent: Woah, daddy, chill, no need to write so big...]

"...."

-BZZZZ!

[ Just now: Let's stop it right here, Wen. Tell me, are you doing well?]

Wen could feel that his father was feeling irritated so he stopped joking around.

[ Sent: Yup, I'm doing good, I reached the 1st Golden Core realm. I also got to the 1st stage of the Hardened Body realm. Pretty good right? ]

-BZZ...

[Just now: Wait, weren't you in the 8th Spirit Refinement 5 days ago?! ]

[ Yup, but now I'm in the 1st Golden Core realm because of that technique you gave me before I left. Thank you.]

"..."

-BZZZZZZ!

[ Just now: HOW!? It has only been around 5 days! You better not be lying right now because I'm going to brag about you to the other emperors! HAHAHA I can't wait to see their shocked expressions!]

Wen inwardly smiled wryly. 'This man acts so differently when we aren't talking face to face,'

[ Sent: So, why did you contact me? Did anything go wrong? ]

[ Just now: Well, I wanted to tell you a few things. Since you'll be in the Divine Sword Sect, you might as well be productive, like taking out the scums in there.]

"Huh?" [ Sent: Scums? So you want me to assassinate a few disciples?]

[ Correct, I have a long list so I won't take no as an answer. ]

Wen sighed. "I feel like this man tells me what to do too much..." [ Sent: Alright fine, who are they?]

[ .... ]

[Sent: Wow... That is a long list, like, 50 disciples?]

[It's actually 53 disciples, but, close enough.]

< New Quest received!: Kill 53(chosen)disciples by one month.

Reward: 530,000SP per kill (10,000 SP per kill)

Punishment: You will lose your father's trust. You will lose your 10x luck for 3 months. You will lose the Mastery System for 1 month.>

"W-Woah, 530,000 System Points?! Isn't that too much?!"

< Trouble is stewing in other places, your help is needed soon. >

"Um, that's quite vague. So let me guess, the Creator wants me to do a Double Life quest soon?"

<...>

[ So, Wen, this is the start of your new career, so, good luck! I'll give you as many treasures as you want after you finish all your missions.]

[ Sent: Alright old man, see you soon.]

[ WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?]

The scroll, brush, and ink quickly disappeared as Wen prepared to leave.

"I guess I was right, right System?"

< Correct...>

"It also seems like the vibrating of the scroll stopped after a few continuous messages, that's kinda cool, I really should get more treasures from my father soon,"
