The kingdom that Wortio belongs to is special, it is not exactly the best even in common and uncommon kingdoms. But there has been a rumor going around that an ultra leveled expert was protecting the kingdom in secret.
Ever since that time the kingdom was given the name of fieror, as when the ultra leveled expert was noticed, a fiery sky hovered over fieror.
Note that there are no seraph level experts around on this continent as that has only happened in history… before this continent forgotten by the true gods has been lost in the ocean, surviving at the cost of sacrificing energy we need to train and function.
There is only one angel level expert and five hero levels, 25 human levels and 125 ultra levels on the entire continent, 126 if you count in the mysterious expert behind fieror.
Cultivators are rare in the first place, you have to either awaken a spirit after ten and greatly diminish you're talent, or awaken a spirit before ten and make it over level 1.
Now think about this, there are 5 great schools on the continent, eastern, western, northern , southern and central. The difference between levels of cultivation is huge, an uncommon can crush 10000 common's with ease and a rare can crush 10000 uncommon with ease an ultra can crush 10000 rare with ease…
So an ultra can crush 1000000000000 common cultivators with ease, think about how terrifying that is when there is barely that many cultivators on the eastern part of the continent!
Each of the 5 great schools have 25 ultra cultivators 5 human level cultivators 1 hero level cultivator and the central school even has an angel cultivator!
They are undoubtedly the strongest force on the continent and even on the main continent that they departed from they can still have a place somewhere… although probably in a tiny village for that continent and not even the strongest there…
And if you haven't noticed the ultra in fieror is wortio, the arrow and boy who was currently having his head being patted on by his disciple…
"Selena, pan, Natalie, Calvin, Aydon, Briana, Lin, Lan, Len and all other disciples! We are all going to move the long horned bull sect to eastern school as us and our neighboring kingdoms received 600 administration tickets to the eastern school as I took up the job of handing 60 out! Calvin, pat my head one more time and you'll magically find out that half of your body is missing and I'll record Lin, Lan and Len calling your name over and over again while you can't do anything about it."
Wortio announced the important information to his sect as he death threaten Calvin in a very detailed way making Calvin shudder and back of at the mention of the last part.
Wortio has now found out the rank of the talent in the disciples he took in. An outer disciple is the top type of talent possible here and the inner disciples are above average even on the main continent (the one with the levels much higher than seraph where the continent right now has detached from).
The nine great disciples are the top of the top even at the main continent and Wortio is… a god so we won't say.
Wortio smiled as he announced that:
"all of the great nine disciples except for Lin, Lan and Len find another worthy talent that you will recommend bringing along to eastern and bring him or her to me. I'll find the other three which will obviously include me." The nine great or the six given the work groaned but started working as soon as they saw Wortio's smile.
They had a feeling that something really bad will happen to them if they didn't so all of them rushed of Wortio shouted behind them:
" remember only use as much strength as an outer disciple on the test to school! Inner disciples suppress it to the outer level too outer disciples use your full strength! Dismiss!"
Wortio walked and thought to himself: 'now for the other two I'll need someone with extreme loyalty and outer level talent at least hmm…" he sunk into deep thought. There were 5 days left until the day to head of to the eastern testing center and see if there was enough talent for them to enter the eastern school.
Obviously the outer disciples were talented enough and Wortio sighed at his luck to probably gather the fifty most genius people in the next 1000000000000 years of the continent.
In the palace his mother and father told Wortio that they were pregnant and they were gonna save an administration for his soon to be sibling.
That left Wortio with one more administration ticket to hand out, he thought of something and slapped himself for not thinking about it earlier and heads to the slave center as he changes his appearance to that of an middle aged man.
He got the ability to change his appearance freely at will when he got to ultra level and he remembers the first time he did it somebody noticed and he had to knock him out to prevent rumors from spreading.
When he went inside the slave center he headed straight for the… extremely cheap slaves without a spirit awoken yet and will have absolute loyalty towards you.
He couldn't be bothered to buy a slave with a good talent, all he needs to do is find a slave that has a good personality! And preferably nice looking…
One thing that bothered him was that all the slaves had their five senses cut of He looked around the first row of 80 cages and found three slaves that fit his criteria.
The first one only barely fit his criteria as she was was a little above average looking but had a haughty personality. He could feel it with his soul and decided no on that one.
The second one was a coward without any will to live but had talent and the looks, Wortio stared for a while and decided that she wanted to die with his soul judging by visualizing her future without him briefly, she stayed here without doing anything for her whole life and didn't even feel anything about it, Wortio stood up disappointed and looked towards the last one.
The last one was a he, he didn't have a spirit, just like the rest here but he had talent for cultivation, he was angry and unhappy about being locked here and would sincerely thank anyone who'll take him out with absolute loyalty his age was 17
just in time for the test as adults aren't allowed to start from year 1 and when he took a look at the white package that would contain a spirit inside him, it actually was empty, like it was taken out or just never there!
Wortio was then shocked and smiled, the no spirit here just meant unawakened, but this boy actually had an empty spirit pod (the white package), this wasn't a bad thing. In fact it was incredible, as when you have a pod like this probably only seen once a blue moon, you can develop a spirit according to the manual you practice overtime to suit you the best!
This was probably nearly as rare as dual spirits, the only problem was that there are barely any manuals on the continent and the best is just rare level 12.
But all of these problem can go eat Vegemite when he has Wortio, and you can say that meeting Wortio will change his life forever…
Wortio smirked "yep, this one is fine, he can be my new son." He whispers to the female attendee beside him and makes up a casual lie seemingly unintentional but on purpose to tell about the false reason he'll get this new slave.
The attendee seemingly used to this sort of reason ran out of patience to a customer only buying one of the cheapest slaves, "yeah, yeah, his name is tori do whatever you want pay up now, 15 copper coins"
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Copper coins, the lowest form of currency on the continent and not even used anymore on the main continent. Above the copper there will be the standard silver then gold standing for a hundred of the lower one.
Above that there will be magic coins standing for 10000 of the lower one each. It goes common magic coin, uncommon magic coin and so on.
Wortio coldly snorted to the employee who snorted back rudely, Wortio then went "Ah! I forgot the problem with poor slave stores." With as much of an arrogant pressure as possible.
This actually was a poor slave shop, and Wortio only came as it was close to where he was. But the thing was that all the employees are extremely sensitive about how poor the slave shop is.
"What did you say?! I'll kill you!" As expected the rude attendee snapped again and… immediately stopped when Wortio slapped a common magic coin on the counter.
"Change, now!" Wortio demanded his leftover money back as the attendee collapsed noticing he angered a cultivator.
Any cultivator in the kingdom has a high place, a place equal to a lower noble, as not awakening under 10 with a level 1 spirit was pretty rare, or really rare, rare enough that only 1 in 1000 people can accomplish it.
Every cultivator can easily swipe up 10000 normal people with their large scale spells or energy. Like Serena, when she uses her to daggers and slash with a tenth of her power, she can produce two huge water markings in the air and slam it onto many people and just the left over power from hitting another cultivator that'll smash onto the surroundings can kill normal people.
The attendee nearly peed himself when he heard that Wortio wanted change, as they didn't have 9999 gold coins and 85 silver.
In the end the employee gave away tori for free as Wortio undid all the binds on his senses in the castle and turned back to his four year self.
Tori stared blankly at him for a while and with all his courage mustered he shouted out "m-master?" Confused, Wortio sighed a child was still a child and he undid the memory bind on tori.
"Who are you?! Why am I here? Answer my question-" he stopped his shouting and realized that the person in front of him was a four year old.
"Hi, I'm Wortio, the one who bought you and the current prince of this kingdom."
Tori gulped at the nice prince in front of him as his shyness started to erode, Wortio talked again "Everyone has a chance to change, the problem is if they grab onto it or not-…"
And continued with "so, yours is right in front of you, do you want to go to eastern school with me and become my bodyguard or stay in the castle and be a servant?"
"Wh-wha-WHAT!? Did you just say eastern school? You did didn't you!" Tori yelled out as he grabbed onto Wortio's shoulder only just realizing his mistake "why me?" He asked.
"I like your personality, you won't be made fun of when you walk with my group of brats with your looks and you have talent you know,?just none that you know of" Wortio said in a carefree manner and then said what made tori loyal to him all his life the next moment with the same care free tone…
"Plus I can grant you a spirit and help you start cultivating." Tori's eyes widened in happiness and surprise "r-really?" He asked unsure for one last time.
"Why do you always stutter? And yes! Really okay really!" That was how the poison golem general, one of the strongest in the world, Tori and the god that was an arrow knew each other for the first time.
Three days later
"So, Anthony, Joseph, Karl, Cassandra, Eugene and Jaqueline was it? Okay let's head of to the eastern center at the teleport portal this is tori, common level 2, spirit is… poison golem"
the other six had a flash of disdain go through their eyes when common level two was mentioned but then obediently shut their mouth at the mention of his two type element spirit.
In the six the one named Eugene that was 17 years old with an arrogant face that could only be counted as below average in the 60 teenager group walked up to Wortio and went: " Huh? Why is a kid like you here, kids should just take a piss and go to bed"
Annoyingly enough Eugene's cultivation was on common level 3 and was praised as the most talented in a different outer disciples family.
When Bianca, who had Eugene recommended to her by Eugene's family member (13-years-old) she couldn't be bothered to find someone else and just went ahead and chose him.
Eugene saw Bianca's appearance and fell in love almost immediately and joined in jealousy that his cousin (the outer disciple was stronger than him and the fact that Bianca was there, before Wortio talked to the 7 'extras' he was talking to Bianca and waiting for the other eight of the nine great disciples who sent the 'extras' they chose.
Eugene saw that a 4-year-old was getting too close to 'his' Bianca a went to Wortio to teach him a lesson, ending in the awkward situation right now for Bianca.
"Bianca, be more careful of who you choose next time." Wortio calmly said to Bianca, making her shudder thinking of what will happen if the other disciples finds out about what she just did… she'll probably get killed…
"Yes, master" Bianca bowed down so fast that a current of wind was made and the skirts of the disciples that were female blew up "fine then, be careful of Calvin though, he can be too extreme at times…"
"Oi kid, who are you to speak of master disciple Calvin's name like that-" *SLAP a slap sounded loudly in the room as Bianca coldly opened her mouth
" If it wasn't for him to tell me to stop you would be a corpse right now you know? SHUT UP AND DO NOT TALK TO MASTER WORTIO IF THAT IS THE LAST THING YOU DO!"
The warning ended up with a roar as she walked away from the shivering Eugene who's mind was filled with evil thoughts not even taking a moment to think about the name 'Wortio' that was mentioned.
'Damn that kid, making Bianca angry like that, who does he think he is? I' use my connections with brother at eastern high school and kill him! I heard that brother is already common level 5 hehehe"
he dumbly, didn't reflect on himself at all and planned for his misery as Wortio picked up his thought and gave out a cold smirked as he headed into the portal.
Following after was the nine great disciples that just arrived and then tori with the inner disciples, after that was the outer disciples with five of the 'spares' all more talented than Eugene, and lastly Eugene himself.
Please tell me how to improve! I feel that this could be better somehow! I don't know why but I just do, thank you all very much for reading!
