Chapter 2014

The revelation filled Oskar with excitement.

"That sounds like an exaggeration." Severin smiled. He deliberately told Oskar about Selene's qualities in the hope of attracting his attention. Although Severin held a special status as the sixth core disciple and was not afraid of threats, there was every possibility that someone might learn of Selene's astounding talent and take extreme risks to get what they wanted. Severin would ideally wish to avoid that.

As soon as Oskar found out that Selene had the legendary "Celestial Bone Foundation', he was filled with excitement and instantly felt like taking Selene in as his disciple. As the leader of the Grandiuno Sect, he knew the predilections of practitioners and understood just how significant Selene's constitution was.

Many coveted the Celestial Bone Foundation, and that would put Selene in danger. Some people might wish to extract the bones of a person with the Celestial Bone Foundation and remove the marrow before transplanting the extracted part into their bones. Though the effect would be greatly reduced, there was still a scant possibility of becoming a celestial. That alone was tempting enough for many people to take

such appalling risks.

Oskar could already foresee how much envy he would get even within the sect. If he accepted Selene as his apprentice, and she became a celestial in the future, then he would be able to stand proud as her teacher. After pondering for a moment, Oskar raised his head and looked at Severin. "Your daughter has been bestowed with an amazing talent. I'm worried that she'll attract the attention of too many people if

news gets out."

Severin was elated to hear that because he already had a good guess as to what Oskar wanted to say. He gestured respectfully toward Oskar and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"I'd like to take your daughter as my apprentice and pass my mantle on to her. Is that agreeable to you?" Oskar asked thoughtfully. "Consider it a way of protecting Selene."

Severin was overjoyed when he heard this because that was exactly what he wanted to achieve! With Oskar's attention, even the sect's members would think twice if Selene's gift had been accidentally leaked. in the future. Severin pretended to think for a moment, but he raised his head and nodded to Oskar: "I accept that, but Selene is still young. I do hope she can stay in Pearl Light Isle."

Oskar's expression soured when he heard that. He huffed angrily and glared at Severin in bewilderment. Are you insinuating that I'll develop some uncouth Ideas toward my apprentice? That's preposterous." Severin let out a chuckle. He would only feel at ease if Selene was by his side. Luckily, Oskar did not say anything about that and merely nodded in agreement.

Severin then took Selene's hand and said, "Say hello to your master, Selene."

Selene was a well-behaved and sensible girl. She had honed the ability to discern a person's emotions and intentions during her journey with her family to the Skyblue Sect, and later the Grandiuno Sect. She also knew that Oskar was the Grandiuno Sect's leader and no doubt a very powerful man. A master like

that would allow her some measure of influence in the sect.

When Severin told her, Selene immediately knelt in front of Oskar and kowtowed. After three kowtows,

Severin brought another cup of hot tea to her. Selene took the teacup and said endearingly, "Please have some tea, master."

Oskar was pleased by her good etiquette and took the tea cup with a smile on her face

apprenticeship ceremony was as good as complete with that gesture.

Oskar took two sips of tea and raised his hand to produce a small green sword. The gleam shone brightly

and exuded the aura of an ordinary spiritual treasure. "As you are now my disciple, I will give you the Skybright Sword."
