Akash stands before the mysterious cultivator who had just saved him from the Demonic Lord. The air around this man feels different—calm yet overwhelmingly powerful.
Akash (thoughts):
"Who is this guy? He made that demon retreat without even fighting. Just who... no, what is he?"
The mysterious cultivator studies Akash with a smirk, his piercing eyes gleaming with interest.
Mysterious Cultivator told :
"You've already absorbed demonic energy? Interesting. You might just survive."
Without another word, he turns and starts walking away.
Akash:
"Wait! Who are you?"
The man stops but doesn't turn around.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"If you want answers, follow me."
Akash hesitates for a moment, glancing back at the ruined battlefield behind him. He clenches his fists, steeling himself before following the man into the ruins.
The Hidden Base
The mysterious cultivator leads Akash through a series of underground tunnels, eventually arriving at a massive underground base. Inside, a group of survivors—warriors, archers, and cultivators—are training, wielding weapons and performing powerful techniques. Energy hums in the air.
Two figures step forward to confront the newcomer.
Karan:
(A muscular young man with a cross-shaped scar on his chest, his arms folded.)
"So this is the newbie? Looks weak to me."
Subham:*
(A calm, intelligent-looking guy adjusting his glasses.)
"If Master brought him here, he must have some potential."
Akash glares at Karan, clenching his fists.
Akash:
"Say that again, and I'll prove you wrong."
Karan smirks and cracks his knuckles.
Karan:
"Then show me what you got!"
The Sparring Match Begins
Akash and Karan step into a sparring arena inside the underground base. A crowd of cultivators gathers around, eager to see the fight.
The mysterious cultivator speaks up.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"Rules are simple—no killing. First one to land three solid hits wins."
The moment the words leave his mouth, Karan lunges forward with incredible speed, throwing a powerful punch at Akash.
Akash (thoughts, shocked):
"He's fast!"
He barely dodges, but the force of the punch creates a gust of wind that pushes him back. Karan wastes no time, throwing another attack. Akash dodges again but starts to realize something.
Akash (thoughts):
"Wait... I have a skill! Time to use it!"
Activating Shadow Step, Akash vanishes and reappears behind Karan, landing a solid punch on his back.
The crowd gasps.
Crowd:
"He hit Karan?!
Karan stumbles slightly but then grins.
Karan:
"Not bad... but let’s see if you can handle this!"
He channels spiritual energy into his fists, preparing a devastating attack. A New Path Begins.
Before Karan can strike, the mysterious cultivator steps in, stopping the fight.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"That's enough. Akash, you pass. From now on, you train with us."
Akash breathes heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead. His body aches, but his spirit burns with newfound determination.
Subham:
"Congratulations, Akash. Welcome to the Path of Cultivation."
Akash looks up, his eyes filled with resolve.
Akash (thoughts):
"This is just the beginning. I will become powerful—stronger than ever before!"
