Upon seeing Arthur, both elders smiled and looked at him with expectation.
"Congratulations on clearing the tower!" Sophia said while David kept silent.
"Thank you," Arthur smiled back.
"You have probably talked to the artifact spirit right?" Davey asked.
Arthur understood what they wanted to know, so he told them what he had prepared to say in this situation.
"Yes, I did. The artifact spirit also used some mysterious method to pass on a martial arts technique to my mind and forbid me from teaching anyone else.
"He also said that only those who clear all floors of the tower are qualified to learn that technique."
David and Sophia looked at each other.
'To be able to transfer knowledge to a person's consciousness. This artifact spirit is stronger than what we originally thought it was.'
"Is that all?" Sophia asked again.
"Yes, should there be anything else?"
"No, we were just curious."
"Okay, so what now?"
David was the one who answered this time, "You will need to settle down in the sect. As no one was expecting any of the new disciples to clear the Sword Tower, a meeting will have to be held to decide on your reward."
"That being said, you should go out now. A lot of people are dying to go see you," Sophia chuckled.
"Huh?" Arthur didn't get it.
But he did when he left the tower and saw the crowd outside. Which to him felt like the entire sect.
"Invincible!" Someone called out to him.
It was Sun Wukong. Arthur walked to where he was and he saw Luke and Balor standing together.
Luke had a grin on his face as he nodded at him while Balor did the same in greeting.
'So he already made acquaintance with that guy huh? Good.'
"Sun Wukong..."
"You really cleared the tower! And I've got to say, your words back then helped me reach my goal, so thank you," Sun Wukong was happily talking to Arthur.
"I told you, you could do it."
Then Arthur talked to Luke and finally understood the things that transpired while he was climbing the tower.
After that, he introduced himself to Balor and asked to be friends. They all got along pretty well and decided to stick together.
Arthur asked for Zaith as he could not find him amongst the crowd. It turns out that Zaith had gone off somewhere.
'It feels like he is avoiding me. But why?'
While Arthur talked with Luke and the rest, many people were making hushed comments about him.
"So that's the genius who cleared the tower?"
"He looks much younger than I thought, and he is only at the Spirit Condensation Realm!"
"Hey what do you say we go over and talk?"
"That's a good idea. I heard that there are many factions in the sect, and it would be good for us new disciples to have someone to rely on."
"You are right. We may not be highly valued if we join an old faction but it would be different if we joined a new one if he does create one."
Many people amongst the new disciples walked up to Arthur and talked to him. Arthur rejected no one and was friendly to all who came...especially the girls.
Many others who saw how friendly Arthur was summoned their courage to go talk to him. And just like that, he was able to make a lot of friends.
Even some older Outer-sect disciples came to talk to him.
Away from the crowd, a group of three girls watched the scene from afar.
Two of them were core disciples and one of them was the daughter of the Supreme Guardian who took the test with Arthur, Kira.
The two core disciples were very pretty and had a certain resemblance to each other, showing that they were siblings.
"I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it for myself. Someone actually cleared the tower." One of the core disciples said with surprise.
"I feel the same way too."
"Yeah, Kira you took the first test with them, right? Do you know him?" The older one of the girls asked the Supreme Guardians' daughter.
"I don't know him, Nadia. But he is very talented according to my grandpa," Kira felt she would get to know him when the time comes anyway.
"Maria, what do you think? Should we invite him to join our faction?" Nadia asked her younger sister.
Among the core disciples, there were student factions headed by core disciples and sometimes backed by an elder.
Nadia and Maria were the leaders of one of these student factions and the thought of recruiting a genius like Arthur was too great.
"It will be okay if we invite him, but I don't think he will accept," Maria shook her head.
"You are right, but we can still try anyway. Kira, how about you help us with this?" Nadia smiled mischievously and Kira just rolled her eyes and gave a flat, "No."

In another place stood a group of disciples, that unlike those who were talking about how awesome it was that someone cleared the tower, they wore cold looks instead.
"So that is the brat that wants to shake the Young Master's position in the sect, huh?"
A core disciple looked at Arthur with a cold look in his eyes. He was part of the student faction that was headed by the son of the Vice Sect Leader.
He had already labeled Arthur as an enemy and thorn in the path of his master.
"He may not necessarily be an obstacle. It is possible he doesn't have his eyes set on that position, so we can still try to robe him in first," one of the disciples with him said.
"You are right. Soon Young Master Crixus will break through and widen the gap between him and the others further. At that time his standing will be more solidified and he might even challenge the sword tower again."
"He is about to break through to the next realm?" The others were surprised.
"Yes," that core disciple smiled with confidence.
``````````
The Elders soon dispersed the crowd and coordinated for new disciples to go to their designated residences.
"All right everyone come with me!"
