A mysterious smiling figure is seen in the shadows. As the dust clears, his features are revealed—a boy with sharp features, purple eyes, and white hair. He’s dressed in a purple robe and looks around the devastated area. "Looks like a massive battle happened here... I wonder what kind of beast caused this destruction." Suddenly, a light flashes from the ring on his right-hand index finger, and an old man’s spirit appears from it. "That’s why I always say, you lack experience, Luo Chen." Luo Chen is confused. "What do you mean by that, Master?" The old spirit replies, "This wasn’t caused by any beasts. This level of destruction was done by a single human. I can sense it clearly." "What?! A single human did all this? In this wasteland? If this had happened in the Central Continent, maybe I’d believe it—but here?" "Yes, my boy. Even I wonder how, but it’s true. A human did this. I can sense the aura." "Can you track the person? He must be a great master!" "Yes, I can track the aura. And trust me, even in my prime, I would’ve had to use my full power to cause this kind of damage." The old man turns and says, Scene shifts to the Sanatan Flame Sect’s main hall. Shaurya is looking at his system screen: 25 hours left for the mission. "I need just three more disciples... but how?" He walks out of the main hall and comes to the fountain outside. A little distance away, Wang Tian is standing and watching him. The scene shifts to Xiao Rui, Xiao Lian, and Muo Qian. All three gaze at Shaurya curiously. A disciple walks up to Wang Tian and asks, "Senior, what is Master doing?" "Who knows what Master thinks or does?" The scene shifts back to Shaurya. "Hey System, when are you going to give me my Primordial Dragon? I can’t wait anymore!" "Yes Host. Raise your hand to the sky and say the words then system whisper the words in Shaurya’s ear." Shaurya hear the words carefully and after hearing it his eyes shine with bright light of excitement. "Wow, System! This is what I call fantastic!" He steps forward, looks up, raises his hand, and his disciples watch him curiously. "Guardian Beast, I Summon You... Primordial Dragon, ARISE!" The sky begins to change color. Xiao Rui, Xiao Lian, and Muo Qian look up, confused. Wang Tian is completely shocked—his jaw drops. A powerful energy is released from the sky. A loud roar echoes. A cosmic scene appears above. Scene shifts to Luo Chen. He has just arrived near the sect and sees this sight. "Ma-Master... what is that?!" The old spirit is stunned. "That... that’s I don’t know what exactly going on but... The Energy is releasing from there it’s really majestic!" Scene returns to Shaurya. His eyes are filled with excitement. Then a loud roar, and then a massive blue dragon descends from the sky. It has sharp jaws and battle armor-like scales. It lands in front of Shaurya and roars again. All the disciples are stunned. Luo Chen runs inside the sect and sees the dragon. The old spirit floats beside him, shocked. The old spirit: It’s a Dragon.... A Living Dragon is infront of my eyes.... I can’t believe it. Shaurya steps forward. The dragon lowers its head to him. He hugs it tightly like a child who just received his favorite toy. The Primordial Dragon glows with a bright light and transforms into a smaller, snake-sized form. Shaurya asks the system, Species: Primordial Dragon Level: Golden Vein Level 6 Name: You can give it. Shaurya’s joy increases. "Wow! It’s that powerful?" He smiles and names the dragon: The little dragon jumps with joy and rubs Shaurya’s cheek. Suddenly, Luo Chen approaches Shaurya. Before he can get close, Wang Tian blocks his path with his sword. "Who the hell are you?" Shaurya notices the situation. "Hey, what’s going on?" "Master, he’s coming toward you." Luo Chen quickly says, "Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause any trouble." "Oh really? And what about the spirit in your ring?" "What?! How do you know...?" Shaurya is surprised too. "A spirit in the ring? Isn’t that something only chosen ones have?" "As expected of you, Host. You guessed right. This boy has an old man spirit with him." Luo Chen – Qi Initiate Level 4 Old Man Spirit (Wu Luo) – Foundation Builder Level 4 Shaurya is impressed. He pats Wang Tian’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, Tian. He’s not a threat." He looks at Luo Chen ring and says, "And you, Mr. Spirit—it’s amazing your remaining soul is still at Foundation Builder Level 4." The old man floats out from the ring, shocked. "How do you know my level? Who are you?" Shaurya puts on his black sunglasses and grins. "Hehehe... I’m the Sect Master of the Sanatan Flame Sect—Shaurya the Great!" Behind him, Xiao Rui and Xiao Lian suddenly appear. Wang Tian stands tall, full aura farming mode on. Muo Qian follows. They all pose together, making Shaurya’s intro feel grand. Shaurya looks at Luo Chen. "You, boy—join my sect!" Luo Chen is shocked and confused. Before he can respond, the old spirit grabs his head and makes him bow in front of Shaurya. "He accepts! I also want to join your sect!" "Master, what are you doing?" The old man chuckles. "Helping you. This guy is not ordinary. Following him will take you to great heights." Shaurya hands him the sect joining form. He then turns to the old spirit. "Because you are powerful and wise, I will make you my sect’s first elder. You will guide the disciples. Do you have any objections?" "No objections! I accept!" "Congratulations, Host." Shaurya sees the notification and smiles.
