Zelios, Selene, and Tyler also noticed the duel of two young men. They immediately recognized them through their hair color.

The blue-haired kid is Fritz, the first young master. He is a skilled cosmic swordmaster with a water-related cosmic ability called [Oceanid]. It allows him to control anything related to water.

The green-haired kid is Gerald, the second young master. He is also a talented cosmic master with a wind-related cosmic dagger ability called [Agile]. He controls the air around him to enhance his speed.

With their specialization of weapons, Fritz pursued the path of a swordmaster while Gerald decided to become an assassin.

They continued watching the two of them, still in their battle.

Fritz retreated a few meters back from Gerald to prepare a stance. He gathered water molecules in the air and instantly released them.

[Geyser]!

Gerald noticed the attack and saw how fast the attack was. He quickly used his cosmic ability and disappeared from his spot.

[Cloud Sneak Attack]!

Gerald appeared behind Fritz and attacked him. But unfortunately, Fritz already made some preparation in sneak attacks, where Gerald specializes.

[Softening Armor]!

Gerald noticed that his attack bounced like it struck a dense and buoyant object.

'Their execution of cosmic abilities was amazing! They are so fast! On top of that, Fritz could probably control the water molecules in the air, which is already an imaginable achievement! He can also manipulate its property!' Locke excitedly continued watching, observing how they fought.

Gerald landed on the ground and began having a blade battle with Fritz. They skillfully used their cosmic ability during the combat, satisfying Locke with their talents in the fight.

But when the battle continued heating up, Gerald destroyed Fritz's foothold. This caused a series of events, misguiding his [Geyser] towards Locke's location, subconsciously adding more energy to the attack, and making it faster than the attack earlier.

Tyler saw how fast the attack was. It's like an attack that he can't dodge. But Selene and Zelios saw it coming at an insane speed, but their body wasn't fast enough to use their skills. Their mind, soul, body, and cosmic energy were still exhausted! Even after resting for two or three hours, their body is still tired after accomplishing the S-rank mission!

On the other hand, Gerald and Zelios widened their eyes as the attack was about to hit Locke.

But suddenly, the air temperature dropped. Everyone noticed the attack freeze in place in front of the kid. They subconsciously stared at the kid while raising his hand, facing his palm towards the [Geyser].

[Instant Freeze]

Locke was calm even after that fast attack. If he were a kid without his former life skills and knowledge, he would get hit by that attack. But since he wasn't, he saw the attack coming, and his reflex was enough to react.

Locke used [Instant Freeze], one of his cosmic skills from his cosmic ability: [Snowfall]. His cosmic power grants him the ability to turn anything into ice, create ice, and manipulate ice.

So he used the advantage of turning the air into a cold breeze, freezing the water, and manipulating its temperature to be chillier.

Everyone who witnessed Locke opened their mouths in agape. Locke immediately noticed it and turned his head to his mom with pitiful eyes. Locke's eyes teared up, and he immediately hugged his mother. Locke doesn't want anyone to know that he's that confidently good at controlling his cosmic ability at such a young age. Selene wrapped her hands around Locke to calm him down with a worried expression on her face.

Locke's parents only know that he could turn air into a cold breeze and freeze something. But it broke their expectation, and they couldn't believe that he could use his ability to such an extent.

Locke immediately decided to act scared to prevent anyone from knowing that he was confident earlier. He behaved like that to let them think that it only happened at the spur of the moment.

Fritz and Gerald snapped out of their thought as they saw Locke sobbing. Fritz immediately bowed. "I-I'm sorry. I lost control at the moment..."

Zelios was slightly pissed at Fritz because of the accident, but he kept his cool. He coldly said, "You're lucky that my son managed to freeze and stop that attack. If he got hit by that, you're dead meat to me..."

Fritz gulped in a tense but snapped out of it after hearing the word "son."

"Son?" Gerald also noticed what Zelios had said and stared at Locke in awe.

"What's happening here? I sensed a wide-ranged cosmic ability nearby and thought someone might've attacked!" An old man with blue hair asked. Several elders appeared behind him, as well as some guests and friends. Locke immediately noticed the old man and rushed to him.

"Grandpa!" Locke rushed to the man while sobbing.

"Oh! What's the problem, Locke?! Who made him cry?!" The old man coldly asked, confusing everyone around them. Fritz and Gerald trembled after hearing the angry tone of the old man.

The elders behind him, except for an old woman with ponytailed silver hair, immediately asked the old man hugging Locke, "Who was that, patriarch?"

"He's my grandson, can't you see? Now, who the hell made my precious boy cry?!" The patriarch was still pissed. Fritz and Gerald's face was filled with cold sweat, doesn't want to invoke an angry patriarch.

"Calm down, Shiatsu. Locke was also scared of your yelling..." The silver-haired elder said.

The patriarch immediately looked down at Locke, slightly trembling. "Oh. I'm sorry, Locke..."

"Selene, what happened?" The patriarch, Shiatsu, asked her daughter.

"Well, forget about what happened, father. Fritz and Gerald were training earlier. When the battle heated up, Fritz suddenly lost control due to losing his balance. So, the attack that was supposed to be for Gerald headed to Locke..." Selene calmly says before his father erupts like a volcano.

"Then what? It's the reason why Locke cried, but I don't see any injury around him. There's also a large block of ice nearby. Did you stop it on time?" Shiatsu nodded in understanding.

"No, we couldn't move fast enough to block the water with our cosmic ability because we are still recovering. So when the attack was about to hit Locke, he subconsciously released his cosmic ability, instantly freezing the skill..." Selene explained with a hint of proud tone to it.

Shiatsu and the silver-haired elder widened their eyes. The elders, guests, friends, and the other young masters in the area opened their mouths in disbelief.

"Haha! Since Locke managed to freeze your attack, he didn't get injured. I won't punish you, Fritz. But if something like this happened again--I would punish you immediately, alright?" Shiatsu threatened Fritz as he lifted Locke, who kept sniffing, and tightly embraced him.

"So, who exactly is this kid?" An elder asked.

Shiatsu proudly introduces his grandson with a smug expression, "Locke Victor, the seventh young master of Elfiau Clan. My talented grandson who immediately learned the footwork I showed him before..."

Fritz and Gerald froze on the spot after their patriarch claimed that Locke learned the patriarch's footwork technique, which they still struggle to do so.

The elders were too shocked that they couldn't react to the little kid's ability anymore.

"So the reason why you called us here..." A guest muttered, connecting the dots of the events occurring.

"Yes! It's to officially introduce Locke to the public!" Shiatsu proudly laughed, making everyone in the hall sigh at the shamelessly laughing patriarch, who lost his persona because of Locke.

The long and exhausting day continued. Locke introduced himself to everybody, surprising them how well he formally talks to everybody. Then, everybody introduced themselves.

In the clan, there are 12 elders to which his grandmother, Elfiosa, belonged. There are also eight other young masters: Fritz, Gerald, Tyler, Zephir, Alfred, Brian, and Charles. There's also the unofficial young master, Kaede, who is still 5 years old.

Fritz is the first, followed by Gerald, Tyler, Zephir, Alfred, Brian, Locke, Charles. and Kaede, a total of 9 young masters.

Then, the clan's business partners, friends, and acquaintances also introduced themselves.

Locke subconsciously imprinted them with his behaved nature, gentle smile, and naive thinking, constantly melting their heart in bliss.

"If Locke is so talented, I wonder what soul form he has! His soul form must be related to ice, right?" An elder enthusiastically asked.

"We still don't know yet, Elder Yvalin. Locke has two cosmic abilities. One of them controls nature while the other completely control ice. If our guts were correct, Locke should have a twin soul form--a nature and ice-related one..." Zelios gently smiled.

Soul Form is unique to every cosmic master. Their cosmic ability and talent were related to their soul form.

Most people awaken their soul form at the age of 10-12, and when it awakens, it can recognize their talent for various things.

If the light emitted by the soul form is bright, they're talented. It was called [Streak].

Affinity and aptitude would also be measured through the beam coming out of a person's body. It would be covered by colored rings, representing their affinity based on their colors, and their thickness was how talented they were in that respective element.

Soul Form is the foundation of the cosmic masters. They strengthen their soul form and raise their ranks to reach their apotheosis.

"Well, let's wait for him to turn 10! For now, let's celebrate the arrival of the seventh young master! Our ice prince!" Shiatsu raised his cup, cheering and offering them a cup of celebration.

"For our ice prince!" Everyone smiled and drank their drinks.
