Results Of The Tournament.

After another month of training ,I had reached level 80 and Rank-2 Earth Intent. I had planned to make breakfast for myself when I noticed someone walking towards me. I felt a familiar aura of my disciple. It felt tougher and steady. It seems like he had quite the gains in this trip? After he returned ,I was surprised to hear that he came 8th. It seems that quite the number of Rank-4 Martial Warrior geniuses under the age of 21 showed up. He wasn't even able to compete for 6th. At least he found some strong opponents. After checking his level ,I found that he had hit level 50 and achieved Rank-5 Strength. Earlier he was level 49. It seems he practiced quite a bit on the way back. After taking out the reward from his disciple this time ,he had quite the shock. Reading the description ,it was less of a gift and more of a perk.

[Disciple has reached major milestone Lv.50 and ranked up to Advanced Rank. Achievement Unlocked: First Disciple Reaches Level 50.]

[Achievement Reward: Perk Unlocked - Double XP]

[You now gain 2 XP per sword swing along with your disciple as well.]

After he gained the Double XP Buff ,he was super excited. So excited that he went into a training frenzy. He didn't stop training until he was level 90. Which took 3 days straight. Even if a Martial Master can abstain from eating for more than normal martial artists ,every human has a limit below Dao Warriors. After reaching Dao Warrior Rank ,you can completely ignore basic human needs like eating and sleeping. Of course I'm not at that level yet. So after reaching level 90 and hitting Rank-3 Earth Intent. I levelled up my skill again and ate some food. After that I went to sleep. Also Yan Shi also levelled up to 55 during my training frenzy.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Without noticing ,it seems Yan Shi has grown up a bit. He seems to have grown strong enough to take care of himself. I guess it's time for him to separate himself from me. He'll still be my disciple ,but he is now free to have his own adventure. Instead of just following me and doing whatever I say ,he can truly say the he controlled his journey. And so after about a year of travelling and adventuring with my disciple and him reaching level 75. I decided to let him go. During these adventures ,I had reached level 99 a long time ago. Most of my time during our adventure was spent comprehending my Earth Intent. And after a while I was able to reach Peak Rank-9 Earth Intent. It was mostly due to the gift from Yan Shi reaching Rank-7 In strength. At some point during our journey I had learned a new skill after maxing out my first one. Maxing my first skill from Lv.9 costed 3 Skill Points surprisingly. After doing that I had learned my next skill at Rank-8 Earth Intent. I could choose 2 skills.

[Sturdy As A Boulder(Lv.0) - Defensive Branch First Skill: Grant a 5% Defense Bonus Per Proficiency Level. Intent Points required to level up: 3]

[Thorny Armor(Lv.0) - Counterattack Branch First Skill: Grant a Reflective Armor That Reflects 5% Damage Taken Per Proficiency Level. Intent Point Required to level up: 3]

After deliberating in my head for a while I chose to take the Defensive Branch Skill. Having a stronger defense will lead to a higher chance of survival. After reaching the peak of my Earth Intent and getting more skill points ,I also took the Counterattack Branch Skill. I feel that even just a bit of reflective damage is awesome. If I max it out wouldn't I reflect 50% of the damage back. That's too good to pass up.
