She didn't react to his actions at her. Instead, she continued as if nothing had happened.
She said, "Now to the third reason you were given the S grade invitation. As you guessed earlier, it was because of your innate divine strength. Even though your talent for body forging is average, the strength that you can output will always be greater than those at the same level."
"This is important because our sect is rich and powerful enough to bring anyone to the peak of the fourth mortal coil. That is also true for the other four sects. But only the disciples with special talents can be unrivaled in their level or powerful enough to kill someone in a higher mortal coil."
"You are already capable of such. With your current power, you can kill those in the early stages of the second mortal coil. If you can keep this up, you will be able to kill Fifth Coil cultivators while you're still at the fourth mortal coil."
This is good for you, but it isn't for me because this is only half of why your innate divine strength is important. Your innate divine strength is also important because the ultimate techniques of the sects also depend heavily on the strength of the physique."
"You're probably seeing why our techniques are difficult to master seeing as they need a powerful mind and a strong body. You might have also seen that you have a lot of potential for our techniques, but all I see before me is a lot of work to do and a lot to answer for if you fail to achieve your full potential."
After saying this, she began to grumble. It caused her eyes to flash and her hair to rumble with thunder.
Arthur had already relaxed when he saw that she had calmed down. But then he tensed up again when he sensed the overwhelming energy lurking within her.
This energy was also not ordinary. It was a lake of lightning. It made his scalp go numb just sensing it.
What was keeping him from bolting was that her focus wasn't on him at all. She wasn't even looking at him.
She appeared to be lost in thought. So he tried to stay still so that she wouldn't shift her focus to him.
Fortunately, she calmed down quickly. She looked at him and said, "I am Elder Storm Hawk. By order of the leadership of the sect, I shall be your supervisor. I shall try my best to guide you along a path that will bring you to your full potential. I hope that we get along well."
Arthur thought to himself, "Her emotions are truly like lightning. It is flashy and dangerous, but brief."
He was complaining about her inwardly, but outwardly he bowed to her and said, "I too hope that we get along well."
She tilted her head as if she was wondering about something. At the same time, she was speaking to him.
"I was selected to be your supervisor because you have the potential to learn the lightning version of our fighting techniques. That is the path I took to set my foundation. If you don't take my path, the least I have to help you achieve is to set a solid foundation."
She became silent for a while. Her head was still tilted, and she was looking into the distance. It appeared that she was still thinking about something.
The room became silent during this time. Arthur was still too. He was waiting calmly for her to finish whatever she was doing.
After twenty seconds of waiting, she moved her head and looked at him. Then she said, "Your potential is immense. By every measurable criterion, you are highly suitable for learning the original techniques of the sect. It can even be said that the technique was tailor made for you."
"This original technique was the one given to the founders of the sects. This technique has a high requirement. It needs the practitioner to have the Wood element mana affinity. This mana affinity is as rare as that of lightning. Very few people meet the requirement every five years."
"Currently, there are only three people who have met the requirement in this round of sect recruitment. That is about right in that only two of the founders met the requirement. But every founder was able to practice the technique because the great cultivator that gave it to them modified it so that everyone could use it."
"After modification, the requirement for mana affinity was changed from Wood to Blood. That's why the sect was named the Blood Skull sect."
She took out a sheet of paper from thin air. Arthur didn't think it was thin air. He expected that she had a storage ring from which she brought the item out.
She showed him the diagram. On it were four circles. One circle was green. Opposite was a blue circle. These two circles were connected by the figure of a human.
Beneath the green and blue circle was another set of circles. These circles were red and black. There was also the figure of a human between these two circles, and there was a line connecting the figure to the two circles.
Elder Storm Hawk pointed to the green circle and said, "This is the original set of techniques. They are split into two. The green one is the cultivation technique. It is the technique that you will use to break through to the second and third mortal coils. It requires the mana affinity of wood."
"The blue circle is the fighting, or, as we like to call it, the killing technique. It is what you transform the energy you gain from cultivating into when you want to fight. It requires the mana affinity of lightning."
She looked at him and explained, "These two techniques are very powerful on their own. Together, they are extremely powerful because they can amplify each other. Unfortunately, throughout history, there has been no one who could use the two of them together."
