Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

As Ronan was called to recieve his rewards Augustus patted him proudly on the back as he handed him the 5000 year old ginseng!

When the herb was finally unveiled its fragrance made the entire arena salivate as the commoners especially started to drool like they had just seen a piece of tender and juicy meat for free on a barbeque stall.

Ronan instantly started to squeeze the ginseng as he ate the drops that trickled down with joy enjoying the energizing herbal flavour and nourishing content.

When the others saw a few drops of the ginseng drop on the floor from Ronan's wrists they winced in pain as they felt that his style of eating was too barbaric.

" What a waste of such a precious treasure ". Some commented as they sighed and saw Ronan devour the ginsengs nourishing water first before starting to chew on its fibres like chewing gum.

Ronan felt electricity rampage through his veins as his elemental essence was stimulated by the contents of the juice and his body felt energized beyond its usual limits.

Ronan instantly broke through one level as he enjoyed the remnant power in his body from the ginseng that nourished and increased the purity of his elemental essence.

Usually when someone recieved such a priceless treasure , they would give it to an alchemist to be refined into a top grade pill for consumption, had Ronan done so he could have easily gotten 3 levels out of the ginseng instead of one , however the second prince of Avalon did not seem to care.

Chewing on the ginseng as if it was common candy he looked at his father seated on the throne above as if asking him ' Can I go now? '

The other sect masters looked at each other and waited for Alexander to announce that the sect selection process could start now , however the number 10 sect the violet cloud sect master did not want to wait for protocol on this one student as he shouted " Ronan , join the violet cloud sect and i will make you my personal disciple and also provide you with all of the sects techniques including our legacy technique reserved for only sect elders and master".

The other sect masters shot a vicious glance at the violet cloud sect master to jump the queue as chaos descended once he made that declaration

The heaven chaser sect master mocked the violet cloud master as he said " Huh , you yourself are a puny level 137 warrior , the kid will surpass you in 4-5 years , what qualifications do you have to teach him?

Know your place , or else the heaven chaser sect will wipe off your little one from the face of this continent".

The raging winds sect master said " We will give you the utmost support by giving you daily personal guided sessions from sect elders and myself and also 10 times the resources provided to a normal core disciple if you join , alongside all the legacy skills of our sect ".

Everyone was aghasted by this declaration as the other raging winds sect disciples could not beleive their ears , compared to the rewards promised to Ronan they were living a dog's life and they were the core disciples of the sect the sect master was talking about!

The unfairness of the world was on full display as the talented disciples gathered for the tournament were put to shame by a single 13 year old kid named Ronan Draco , first by his fighting skills and next by his value assessed by the various sect masters , as compared to him they were as good as outer disciples.

They had never heard about any disciple getting such ridiculous rewards or seen the various top brass fight like a bunch of hooligans and threaten war over the choice of a single disciple!

However there was nothing that they could do about it as the sect masters decisions were supreme in the sects and nobody could defy their wishes.

Many gazed enviously at Ronan as Zimo and Mad-Dog felt that the world was too unfair to bless someone like Ronan who was already blessed with unparalleled talent with unparalleled support as well , as they beleived that if they got such an opportunity then they could also be as good if not even better than Ronan Draco.

However the world was an unfair place where the strong were worshipped and contested over as everyone present understood that recruiting Ronan was a free ticket to making the sect a regional powerhouse as the rise of the talented kid was inevitable.

But before any sect masters could pull out their swords and actually start to fight for the discipleship of Ronan , the heavens rumbled as the space crackled and with a flash of lightning the strongest man on the entire continent of Everlon appeared before the masses.

Shakuni threw an angry glance at the sect masters as he said in a commanding voice " WHO DARES TO COVETT MY DISCIPLE? "

( Meanwhile the night kings army )

The night kings army completed their scouting and launched an ambush attack on the outermost village of Avalon in the cover of the night at 2:05 am.

The village guards who were caught napping on patrol outside the village gates were killed in their sleep as only when the half dead reached the vicinity of the gates was the alarm of an attack raised.

The general had picked a very dastardly time to attack the village as at around 2 am all the majority of the males were sleeping after a hard day's work and would need several minutes to wake up , arm themselves and respond to the emergency signal by which point the gate would already have became compromised.

And that was exactly what happened , using ice magic the gatemen were defeated swiftly as by the 3 minute mark of the alarms being raised the night kings forces had successfully stormed the village gate!

What was to follow was a losing battle for the Avalonians , as they were on the losing end of the numbers game.
