Jade Offer

'They should be established powerhouse.' Upon looking at the five solemn figures, a thought immediately sprang up in his mind.

White wasn't an ordinary person anymore, he could immediately guess their identity from the abnormal aura they radiated. His eyes raised up slightly upon falling at the beautiful woman with emerald eyes and the sharp and piercing aura her body radiated.

'I can feel a slight aura of sword…' White thought absentmindedly, a strange light started shining at the depths of his pupils. As a person who has reached an unprecedented height in the way of the sword, he could instantly tell of the people who have caught a slight glimpse of the lofty Dao of the Sword.

In his own thought for a moment, he showed a slight smile and an invisible frown that had existed from his birth seemed to disappear in his mind.

'It seem this world wasn't so different from the Great Blue Planet.' thinking, an invisible rain of relief was pouring on his inner mind; greatly reliving him. Stepping into this world without any knowledge of it was a massive headache he had faced, but now, he saw a path for himself to take; a path toward domination.

Shossh!

At that moment, the sound of wind blowing resounded from the sky bringing the surrounding dust and sleaves to dance in the air. White along with the people present raised their heads into the sky to look at the source of the disturbances and what they saw made them greatly surprised.

Up in the sky stood a figure of a girl in humble robes, she had long hair and eyes with a certain depth. She also radiates an air of class and grace and her skin as clear as porcelain, and she looks older than she actually is.

All the people, including the five with great aura bow their heads slightly upon seeing the figure.

"Ehh?! Who is that girl, she is flying like those masters on the first trial!" a person on the platform exclaimed, surprised.

White's ear moves upon hearing the remark, he already guessed that she was young but knew for a fact that she wasn't like the rest of them and possessed great power. 

"Fu*k you people from the Desolate Plane. Didn't I already remind you not to talk carelessly? Do you know who she is? Do you want to get killed so bad?" a person beside the youth who ignorantly spoke out, cursed in a barely audible voice, continuing:

"Listened carefully mongrel, that person is the daughter of the strongest person in this city; the city lord. And, although she is young, she is a grandmaster-level powerhouse that exceeds master!"

Upon overhearing his word, White who was near them raised an eyebrow, and the person who ignorantly spoke out shrunk in fear.

"Congratulations, to all the pseudo Masters who have arrived here. I am Grandmaster Xie Xuezhi, and I welcome you all to the Ancient Rain City." although the girl spoke slowly, her sweet yet dignified voice was infused with great power spread far and wide; reaching every ear.

"We thank Grandmaster Xie for such words."

From the platform, except for the people from the Desolate Plane who were clueless about who she was and what to do, the rest bowed their heads and said respectfully.

White and Golden were among the 'clueless people' and didn't bow.

The girl in the sky didn't seem to mind and only nodded her graceful head.

She looked toward the people on the platform, saying: "People from the Desolate Plane, most of you should be lost and confused by the situations, but worry not, as you will come to know about everything; whether it be about masters or this world at the Master Battleground." the girl whose age seems to exceed her appearance patiently explained making all the people from the Desolate Plane perk up their ears at her words.

Grandmaster Xie continues: "The Master Battleground is an institute open for all to join. There, you will be given a place to stay and food to eat furthermore, if you manage to be selected as a talent in the official selection one month from now, the institute will support you by providing you with resources and shaping you into a powerful master, and even if you aren't selected, we will employ you in a master army and also give you citizenship of this great city."

"Of course, the official selection aside, entering the Master Battleground now as a half-student is a choice and you can refuse; going your own way if you want." the girl showed a contended smile seeing the genuinely happy people from the Desolate Plane.

Food and shelter were among the main concerns of these people who have no home or background on the mainland, and if someone were to solve these concerns for them, who wouldn't be happy?

Not only Grandmaster Xia, everyone knows this as this year wasn't the only time the desolate planers were offered such, it happened every year because these people from the Desolate Plane had hidden talents and were also one of the massive fighting forces of the city.

White on the other hand was only surprised, if he had not met a girl called Golden he would also have been happy at such an offer but it seemed she was going to take care of him for some time, all for some agenda she had that he don't know anything about. 

"Master Battlefield… sounds like a place for breeding masters," he murmurs in an audible voice.

"It is exactly that kind of place." Golden looking at the girl in the sky replied, her eyes showing some emotion when the place was mentioned, "The Master Battlefield is a unique force and also an institute of sorts. It trained the young pseudo-masters and masters who had just passed the trial."

"Unique? Also, you said we are already a master right, then what is this pseudo master?" White questioned.

Golden retracted her glaze and looked toward White with a mysterious expression, saying, "It's difficult to explain when you don't know anything, so I'll slowly tell you everything later."

She added, " And if you receive an offer to join a Family in the future, I suggest you reject it. For people like us, a place like the Master Battlefield is good."

White thought for a moment and nodded. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew what she meant by the latter part of her advice. "Ok, but you have to explain everything later."

Golden closed her eyes and nodded. She indeed has many things to explain to him.

"Those who are planning to enter the Master Battleground remain in the platform, the rest can exit." the girl in a humble dress announced to the masses on the Teleportation Platform. 

At the next moment, some one-third of the people on the platform walked away, some met their families waiting for them in the crowd and few went their way. Unlike the people from the Desolate Plane, these people all have a place to return to, but there were also many people who weren't from the Desolate Plane on the platform.

From this one can see that the Master Battleground wasn't an ordinary place.

At this time, Jade, the beautiful and elegant girl with green hair and emerald eyes walked up to White, she pulled his sleeves a little before her confident and beautiful voice resounded, saying, "White, why don't you come with me to my Jade Sword Family, my mother the family leader would be happy to meet someone like you and would show great hospitality." 

White was surprised, along with the others near them, they saw Jade and knew who she was, and looking at White they couldn't help but feel shocked and envious.

Someone from the Jade Sword Family was inviting another person to join her Family. How lucky was that person?

"Thank you, but for now I've already decided to go to the Master Battlefield," White contemplated for a moment and said without thinking much of it. As Golden hinted, for people like him joining an unknown force was risky for now.

Jade remained silent hearing his response and looked toward the calm and composed Golden before gracefully nodding, "Sir White I respect your decision, but if you change your mind please come to my Family." Upon saying that, Jade went toward one of the five people who had caught White's attention before, no– more accurately, toward the beautiful woman with similar emerald eyes that had a hint of sword aura.

The people around were again shocked and looked closely at the person who rejected the dream they had all yearned for. They wanted to curse but didn't, they didn't know the person's identity and didn't want to offend a big shot unknowingly and pay the price later.

The platform was too large and there were also numerous people so the short event didn't attract any attention.

When all were done getting off the platform, the girl in a humble dress moved and appeared in the middle of the Teleportation Platform, overlooking the several thousand people, saying: "Get ready, we are in the central part of the city and will be teleporting to the Master Battlefield which is in the northern region."

As she finished saying, the Teleportation Platform activated.
