At the Venom Light Sect, inside of the Yan Family residence, a letter arrived. Yan Xiao heard the sound of something crashing through the window and went to see what it was.
On Yan Duye work table a letter lay with Yan Duye Spirit Sign on it assigned to her, she knew her brother would never casually send a letter to her for no reason so she rushed to open it with a bad feeling, in it was written
To Little Xiao'er
I must sadly inform you that your stupid brother is about to die, I have no regrets as your brother, but am ashamed of not being better to care for you. Remember that in this life you are not alone, in spirit I will forever be with you and so will Father and Mother! Sadly my legacy ends not here, buried beneath my bed are two Gems one contains money for your medicine that will last for 10 years, the other is a Manual called Yan Blaze Martial Light technique, it is a family technique book of the Martial Duke rank. The reason I have not use it is that it is a book with a massive backlash, it restricts the user emotions.
GoodBye Little Xiao'er
Your Dear Stupid Elder Brother,
Yan Duye.
Yan Xiao held the letter her hands shaking, tears streaming the only thing to accompany her, her own solitude.
Yan Xiao said with clenched teeth softly
Yan Xiao:"I will not let you down brother."
With that, she fell to the ground and passed out due to shock.
In The Thousand Leaf Origin Forest, two young people were standing. One was enthusiastically asking questions while the other was answering them patiently.
Shiro:"Junior martial sister Zirah, I am but a wandering Martial Artist that hails from another continent, so I would like to ask you. Where are we? "
Zirah brow turned a bit up in surprise, but she was used to such question since wandering Martial Artist wasn't out of the norm in the Martial World.
Zirah:"We are currently located at the outer rim of the Thousand Leaf Origin Forest, the strongest Spirit Beast around should be Earth Type Grandmaster level Spirit Beast."
Shiro muttered the word Earth type to which Zirah responded to with an explanation.
Zirah:"I'm sure you have Spirit Beast from the Continent of which you hail, but the Spirit Beast on the Gold Light Continent are special because they contain Spirit Totems which gives the user the ability of the Spirit Beast they caught."
Zirah raised up her arm from which a dark gold fire with small petals forming around her appeared.
Zirah:"My Spirit Totem is called Dark Fire Blossom Royal, it is classified as Martial Prince Totem, but even then the chances that I manage to become a Martial Prince is a one in three with an average constitution, besides I might even die on the path of Martial Cultivation which isn't that rare."
Stolen story; please report.
Shiro looking at this only had one word in mind which could express his current emotions
Shiro:"Beautiful"
Zirah hearing this immediately stopped her Dark Fire Blossom Royal, she could only blush while hearing his comment made. Shiro noticed this and made a small apology after which the air became silent for a few seconds.
Seeing this happening Zirah invited Shiro back to her sect, not wishing to miss this chance Shiro accepted her invitation
Their way back was not exciting, before they left Zirah already sent a one time use Spirit Message to the sect to inform of the change that happened while on her mission.
When they traveled, they arrived at some seemingly normal mountains but among them, one that was bit bigger than the rest stood out from the others.
Zirah:"Were here Martial Brother Shiro."
Shiro Understanding that it was hidden said
Shiro:"It's a hidden Sect."
Hearing this Zirah nodded towards him and took a step forward and put her hand against the wall after which the mountain shook, behind it the Sect Leader Reynold Blossom Fist a Martial Ancestor stood there looking at Zirah with a complicated look in his eyes
Sect Head Reynold:"Zirah welcome back and I would like to welcome Junior Martial Brother Shiro on behalf of the Blossom Fist Sect."
Shiro seeing this bode his thanks towards the Sect Head of the Blossom Fist Sect, the Sect Head looked at Zirah before saying
Sect Head Reynold:"Zirah lets go I have some things to discuss with you in close quarters, Junior Brother Shiro I hope you will excuse us as this matter is urgent, do not worry for I have arranged two Advanced Martial Apprentices to take care of your needs."
Shiro simply cupped his hands in thanks, it is good to show thanks of respect towards such good will, with that two apprentices appeared one girl with red hair and a strong build the other a submissive looking young man with blue hair.
Strangely the boy took lead while introducing himself as Hiro and the strong maiden as Alice, after which he was guided into a small courtyard, on the way he saw different apprentices some showed curiosity towards this new stranger others diligently kept on training on their martial arts.
Once in his courtyard, Shiro activated the skill Aura Sense which lets him scan everything around him that is of a lower level than him, he found nothing which surprised him, after confirming everything was alright he wanted to take a nap even if his body could keep going forever, his mind wanted nothing more than to take a satisfying nap.
Inside of the Sect Manor of the lord, Reynold and Zirah were seated, Zirah gave Reynold an account of everything that happened till now. A sharp glint flashed by Reynold inner turmoil like eyes while muttering something along the lines of
Sect Head Reynold:"So he is a Continent Drifter."
Zirah Hearing this asked with a curious face
Zirah:"Continent Drifter?"
Hearing this Reynold showed a wry smile
Sect Head Reynold:"Continent Drifter are people who stray from the Martial norm, they travel Continents in Search of ultimate truth hidden within Martial Arts, they gather Knowledge from others classes and modify it for their own use or at least that is all I know about them, information about Drifters are Scarce."
Zirah looked surprised towards Sect Head Reynold
Zirah:"Sect head how do you know so much about these Drifters?"
Reynold hearing this was not surprised he simply had a blank look whilst reminiscing about a past event
Sect Head Reynold:"The last time I met a Continent Drifter was when I met that man named Venom Light, his skills not seen within this Continent for a thousand years, also known as a thousand year talent."
Zirah hearing this was surprised because of information about a big wig like Venom Light did not get circulated that easily.
Zirah:"What will we do Sect Head?"
Reynold contemplated this question ever since getting the message from Zirah, he was not sure but he knew that this boy had potential to become a great figure of the martial world with his talents at such a young age.
Sect Head Reynold:"We must either recruit him or release him, we have no bad blood between us so to split ties is not impossible."
Zirah nodded and returned, she wanted to visit Shiro but heard from the two assigned servants that he was having his rest after a long journey, to which she responded by returning to the sect hall to complete some minor detailed paperwork filling in what happened, the night passed and as such the day ended.
