Ceremony

Horo was sitting in his training room, in a lotus position. Well, he was floating, so maybe it shouldn't be considered sitting. 

He was using an ability granted to him by his true golden core, flight. 

He also had a utility ability, one of his new ultimate abilities, [Divine Inspiration: Projection].

He had no trouble using this ability at all because all of his experience from his life as a knight was truly ingrained within his mind, body, and soul. Also, even though it is an ultimate ability, it seems to barely drain energy at all. He found that it's not imprinted within his body like his other skills, but directly engraved within his origin. It was more than an energy structure like other skills, it's an orb of divine light that looked to be formed from many matrix and divine symbols. He understood that this was because divine inspiration was formed from within its own energy core of divine energy. 

This is what made divine inspirations' utility so broad. They could also collect faith power, something that existed in the Evergreen World. 

His Divine inspiration symbol was now a white humanoid sitting in a lotus position with a golden humanoid that was also sitting in a lotus position on top of a black cloud, which was his True Cloud. 

He was currently using it to project an exact image of his physique, its special qualities, and all. 

His brain was just like his spirit aura, sparking mauve taupe. He could see his spirit sitting in a lotus position within. Miniature dots condensed of starlight lingered around the evolved version of his spirit container of enlightenment, now the [Starry Realm of Enlightenment]. 

His organs were just like his Prime Zoi, as clear as the most translucent thing in existence. He could even feel the ridiculous amount of life force contained within each of his organs through the projection. They were mutated into [Prime organs] after being teleported with Prime Zoi using the Sorbathane method, and they merged with his alternate body. 

His sacred heart remained as bright as a star, filled with untainted internal energy. His life veins resemble his prime zoí as well, and they overlapped with a small portion of his meridians. 

His Everlasting blood became mostly Golden after being tempered further with his gold quality spirit aura, and it only had a tinge of red to it. 

His meridian. became [Supreme Spirit World Meridians], they brimmed with the power of nurture, and his hybrid skill that lay dormant within hummed with joy constantly. The bright lightning spirit armor couldn't wait to be unleashed. 

His Tattoos glimmered with Darkstar force. With his starry realm and tree of tragedy passively supporting them, they grew continuously, and something within the tattoo's personal space was being nurtured as well. 

His bones weren't pitch black with golden engravings anymore, they were like his inverted force now, milky white with black streaks moving around and the golden engravings alternated between black and gold. His skill black skeletal had evolved into the [Alternating Skeletal] and merged with his physique. 

Horo had done all of this by completing his first task as an expert stager, as well mastering his new abilities and the qualities of his body. He used his ability absolute control to accomplish these things much quicker then he should have.

After examining himself and witnessing how much he had grown even more special, he understood why he kept getting the notification that stated his physique was itching to evolve. His physique was so special it exceeded his own expectations, but he also found it took much more than he assumed in order for it to evolve. 

He had a guess that maybe it would evolve after completing the Sorbathane body method but it was only speculation. 

Only thing that was certain as of now was that he had to attend his disciple acceptance ceremony for him and elder May. Everyone knew of the mysterious elder who was said to may have even been superior to the palace master. 

She had finally accepted a disciple after all of these years, and it's even an outsider that's a male. 

The catch was, now he was in the limelight and all of the top notch disciples wanted a piece of him. This is because many of them have previously attempted to become Elder May's disciple. 

Horo was not aware, but it was already scheduled that he would spar with multiple core disciples and personal disciples of elders. 

After elder May taunted Eleanor the way she did, he would even be facing the sect master's personal disciple. 

Yet, what they didn't know was that Horo was more than ready, he understood that his growth rate was extremely quick, but he also took the time to master everything properly. 

With the amount of abilities he had, and his special energies, a normal lord stager wouldn't stand a chance against him. But, he ran into a major issue with his latest task. He had to merge his skills, and elder May said that best and easiest way to do it was a secret held within the Mageía Academy. 

The way to fuse skills known to everyone else is to use compatible skills simultaneously and frequently in order for a new skill to be birth, but this would solve his issue of too many skills, it would only create new skill from two or more other skills that will remain in his body. 

The burden of too many skills was much more of an issue than he originally thought. During the past three weeks he discovered plenty of issues regarding the burden of too many skills, and he knew he had to solve this issue even his it wasn't his task. 

His growth in stages would be stunted until he figured out the secret to truly fusing skills. 

Luckily he had plenty other paths he could use to grow stronger. He'd focus mostly on cultivating, strengthening his spirit, and getting used to all of his abilities. 

He had to be careful how he used his other paths of power because they could create new skills, and he definitely didn't need that to happen. 

While he was thinking about his task and problems everyone was already at the ceremony, and someone had just come to know he had five minutes to get there. 

He let out a long sigh because he already knew things weren't going to be so simple, and that there was going to be problems. 

He left his abode to welcome whatever was waiting for him.
