The Ancient Rain City was a large city, from the northernmost part where the Master Battleground existed to the central-most region where the Teleportation Plateform was at least several kilometers and would take people a few hours to reach it.
At this time, the sun was high up in the sky, scattering dark clouds everywhere.
"As I thought, the training was useless," White was walking through the city; away from the premises of the Master Battleground.
Before he had participated in the so-called training which left him greatly disappointed although he had expected it.
As the person named Master Tang had said, joining the training was not their choice, and as soon as the trainer came; the elderly man who called himself Old Trainer, explained the three-stage of energy control: refining energy into one's Mysterious Space, controlling the energy inside one's body, and controlling it outside one's body. Afterward, he didn't bother and let the people train by themselves, he also didn't stop a few people from leaving.
"When I think about it, I haven't seen big cities since I was born into this world." Amidst the different shops, people, and merchandise on the streets, White smiled a little and reminisced; It had really been a long time since he had seen such things.
"Huh?!" White suddenly stops and looks toward the sky in surprise.
Whoosh!
The sound of something flying above in the sky resounded near the place White was at.
At this moment, in the not-too-far distance, he saw a flying platform that looked like a small ship with a flat base carrying people and flying across the sky at an extremely fast speed.
"A flying object?" White wasn't sure what it was; he didn't know anything of it and it was the first time he saw it.
"Excuse me, could you tell me what that flying object was?" White turning to a nearby passerby asked.
The random passerby turns upon hearing White's question.
Surprisingly, the unknown passerby was a gorgeous girl who looked to be in her twenties with red hair that looked like it was recently dyed with fresh blood, her stunning eyes seemed to contain stars and cities altogether, and her snow-white delicate skin also looked extremely beautiful and tender.
"You don't know? Are you perhaps, one of the pseudo masters that arrived yesterday?!" She looked at the youth and spoke, her voice was beautiful and contained surprise and humbleness.
"Yes." White nodded and responded. He knew immediately that he had encountered an unordinary figure just from her looks and the aura of the girl.
"I thought so. Well, I guess I'll tell you since I have some time," said the girl, sounding generous.
Flickering her hair at the sides; like a young spoiled princess, she said, "The thing that you saw fly past in the sky is a magical one; called the skyship. Skyships are a means of transport used by Masters to fly and travel in an extremely fast manner using their magical energy as their source."
"I see, so it's a magical object." nodding in thought, White turns to the girl and says, "Thank you for your explanation, I'll be going now."
With that, he turned and started to walk away not waiting for the girl to respond.
The girl's eyes twitch upon seeing the youth walking away after thanking her.
'Judging from his lack of knowledge and clothes, he should be from the Desolate Plane yet his face could remain unchanged in front of me?' bewildered, the girl thought.
Almost no one, who was weaker than her could remain cool-headed in this city.
"Wait, where are you going? You will be lost if you wander around recklessly in the city." The girl said and walked up to White and stood beside him again.
"Nowhere, I was just exploring the city." White stops and answers looking around the places.
"Do you have anyone you know in the city?" the girl asks, seemingly in concern.
White just shook his head in response.
The girl seemed to come to an understanding and nodded, saying, "I understand. As I'll be traveling on the same path as you, out of goodwill I'll explain some things and guide you so that at least you won't lose yourself in this city while returning."
"Oh?! Fellow friend, it is ok, I don't wanna trouble anyone for this." White showed a surprised expression but inside he had a slight smile.
"Follow me," Seeming not to hear his words, the girl walked away amidst the crowd and beauty of the ancient city.
'I wonder what kind of benefit I could get from her.' looking and bit flustered and happy, White followed her with his strange thought.
In the eastern part of the Ancient Rain City, inside a large land enclosed by walls, the ground was filled with pleasant-looking grass, and the road was paved with beautiful jade-like stones, along with gorgeous houses and gardens everywhere like a sanctum of peace.
Inside the biggest and most gorgeous house was a beautiful mature woman sitting cross-leg on a special wooden floor; made from some type of magical wood and a short table in from of her.
Not far from the woman, was another figure of a girl. Unlike the latter, she was much younger but she possessed similar traits to the beautiful mowan.
Her green color haired, emerald eyes, a finely shaped figure with curves at the place that is needed, and lastly, her cold yet undeniably beautiful face which steers at the heart of people.
Who is it if it's not the Jade from the second trial?
The beautiful woman in front of Jade was the woman named Hundred Jade Sword; Jade's mother!
Currently, the beautiful woman was calm and composed, elegantly moving her long and soft hand above a piece of old paper, but upon finishing hearing the story of Jade's journey in the trial of masters and her encounter, the lady's whole body paused, and turned to her daughter with a surprised expression.
In a slow and confused voice, she asks: "Jade did hear that correctly? A Top-tier Blessed Descendent from the Desolate Plane?!"
"Mother, it is as I said it. That person seems to be greatly respected by the city lord's esteemed guest; Golden, and his power matches her when they were in the Unity realm." Jade, without hiding anything, said.
She further added, "Furthermore, I had already confirmed that he is indeed from the Desolate Plane."
At first, even she wasn't sure during the trial about White origin, but when that supposed friend from the same village showed up; causing a drama, at that time she was sure it.
"!!!" the beautiful woman was shocked even more.
Top-tier Blessed Descendent: the descendent of the people of the people who possessed top-tier Blessing, sure to awaken the top-tier Blessing of their ancestor.
The concept of the power levels of Blessing was known far and wide in this world, not to mention this small city. True Blessing which was awakened from oneself was rare and powerful, unlike False Blessing which intimates the power of a True Blessing by the people without Blessing.
Their family, who were only blessed with a common-tier Blessing; the lowest tier, excluding the ordinary tier below, was enough to let their family name resound all over the providence and become one of the great families of the Ancient Rain City.
But, at the end of the day, their common-tier Blessing: Jade Sword, which let them run amock in this city was a common tier in the end; different from the Top-tier Blessing that sat at least a few tiers above the common tier and near the tops!
From this one could slightly guess the power difference between the two.
'Top-tier… since he is from the Desolate Plane, either it means he was born with an aura of such Blessing, which is very rare but possible, or was abandoned by his Family.' Upon thinking, the beautiful woman's hands shook slightly.
"Jade, why didn't you bring him to me yesterday? You know it is what you should have done, right? " she asks with slight confusion plastered on her perfect and stunning face.
Jade nodded and explained: "Mother, I did ask yesterday, but he softly refused me and is likely to be connected to Golden, as they have some type of special relationship."
'Golden… another Top-tier Blessed Descendent and a troublesome person.' Looking at her daughter in thought for some time, she seemed to come up with some thoughts and curved her lips in amusement.
"Jade, do you have confidence you could snag him from that girl?"
"Ehh?!" For the first time, Jade's indifference turns to confusion and to slight bewilderment. Her beautiful eyes blink a few times as she looks at her mother in slight shock.
"You should know how important a person like him is to our Family, right?!"
Jade's emotions slowly calmed down and closed her eyes in some type of thoughts for a while, when she opened them again, it was filled with determination and beauty, saying,
"I'll try…"
"That's good for now. Don't let words of him get out and prepare to enter the Master Battleground official selection, since he is unlikely to be coming out to the city." Saying this, she glazes toward the gardens, her thoughts complicated and unknown.
'It's either my daughter or…'
