The Beast Link spell is a single spell, but it can be used to locate Roar, communicate with Roar, and allow Roar to communicate and locate him too.
This versatility is the hallmark of a rank 3 spell. But there is another useful trait of the spell that warranted Arthur learning it while he was still in the second mortal coil.
This useful trait is that only special means can be used to block the link between them. In the absence of this blockage, the link between them can be used to find each other regardless of the distance between them.
While waiting for Roar, he thought about his next plans. The first thing he thought about was about how ready he was.
He made a mental summary of everything he had and asked himself, "Is there anything that I need?"
The first thing that came to his mind was weapons. After all, aside from spells, they are another way to improve one's strength.
After thinking about his current state of weapons, he decided that he didn't need more weapons. He decided this because he already had weapons for defense, short-range attacks, and long-range attacks.
The weapon he possesses for long-range attack is the Golden Bow. This bow can also be used as a club, but it was designed to be used for long-range attacks.
He also has the hybrid shield called Blade Swarm. This hybrid can be used to protect himself and also to attack people too close to him to use his Golden Bow to shoot.
So he doesn't need more weapons. After making this decision, he thought about his vocation, which was formation engraving. This was the second aspect of himself that came to his mind after weapons.
It didn't take him a long time to come to the conclusion that he needed more powerful tools for formation engraving.
So he said to himself, "I should branch a market once I am done with assigning for the sect mission."
The mission hall is the next destination he has in mind. This is because he needs to go there to register for a sect mission.
It is very important for a foundation establishment cultivator of the inner sect to have a sect mission. Actually, it is a must because sect missions are a way to contribute to the sect.
Sect content contribution points are needed to stay in the inner sect. In fact, every person in the inner sect must pay rent in the form of contribution points.
If someone in the inner sect doesn't pay rent, they will be asked nicely to leave the secret realm and the wonderful high concentration of mana that it provides. They will still be a part of the inner sect, but they would have lost the right to enjoy the high mana concentration.
In the outer sect, earning contribution points is just a method to get resources and knowledge from the sect. Contribution points can still be used for that now. But they must also be used to pay rent.
This is why he has decided to register for a sect mission now despite the fact that he has earned a lot of contribution points for earning first place on the ranking list for many years in a row. The rent is also very expensive.
He can use his energy stones to get contribution points, but he still has to do a killing mission for the sect. This killing mission is to ensure that he has experience fighting and killing.
The killing mission is a must for everyone because the Blood Skull sect doesn't want to raise greenhouse flowers. Everyone must know how to fight, so they must prove to the sect that they can, or they will be sent out of the secret realm so that the mana will be used by those who can convert their cultivation into power.
Since he had to prove to the sect that he could fight, he decided to take a mission now that will earn him contribution points and also exempt him from the killing requirement.
To be fair, even though the sect forces people to pay rent and prove their fighting prowess, they made the process easy to accomplish.
For one, there are a lot of missions for them to pick. For example, he can choose to be a guide for the new disciples who just entered the sect.
This mission won't take him long to complete. His responsibility will be to take a group of 1,000 students on a tour of the outer sect. It is something he can complete in a few hours.
He can also choose to be a lecturer in the lecture hall, an attendant in the personnel hall, a supervisor for S-grade students in the outer sect, or accompany the best disciples in the outer sect for the inter-sect competition.
He can also watch over the library or forge weapons that the sect gives to new outer and inner disciples. The possibilities are varied and numerous.
There are many ways to contribute to the sect and earn contribution points. Only lazy people won't find something to do. There is no chance of unemployment like in his past life.
As for the killing mission, that one is even easier to fulfill. The sect created the extra four regions and stocked the whole secret realm with beasts of various kinds for this very reason.
All he needs to do to prove that he can fight is go down to fight a beast or two, kill it, and present video evidence and the corpse as proof of his valor. This is something he can do in an hour or less.
So he doesn't have to go far to fulfill the killing mission. He has everything that he needs to compete right here in the secret realm.
Apart from making paying rent and fulfilling the killing mission easy, the sect even set up a program to encourage people. This program rewards hard working foundation establishment cultivators.
