“Porus, it is fate that those gauntlets end up with that young man. It is also your chance to repay that person by training Kent with all you have. By the time of ‘Immortal spirit gathering,’ we must prepare him.” The old patriarch replied in a solemn tone.
Porus nodded his head and bowed to the old patriarch before leaving. “Porus…” The old patriarch called again as he opened his eyes.
“After Kent reaches the peak of the master magus stage, contact Bali. He owes me a favor. Ask him to teach body cultivation arts to Kent as repayment. Do you understand?” The patriarch asked while staring at Porus with a serious look.
Porus felt perplexed for a second as hearing Bali name made him remember the past. But after long thought, he nodded his head and left the pillar summit.

Beast abode peak…
Early in the in the morning, the guardian sun just woke up on the horizon with a bright orange face. Inside the taming ground, Kent is playing with more than 10 different beasts that were running behind him to catch him.
The disciples, who were slowly reaching the taming grounds, were stupefied after seeing Kent playing with beasts. The beasts that were trailing behind Kent were all wild, untamed beasts brought in yesterday for disciple training.
But Kent is playing with them like a kid with an excited laugh. Occasionally, he is throwing delicious food to these beasts, who were acting like cats and listening to each of his commands.
“How did he do it?” One of the core disciples muttered while taking pictures with his glass orb.
“There is definitely something wrong. How can those beasts be behaving like tamed beasts?” Another one muttered in a dazed state.
“Ahh…. Ahhh…” Gasping loudly with a smiling face, Kent fell on his buttocks at the center of the taming grounds. Soon all the beasts jumped on him and began rubbing their bodies with pleasing faces.
No one clearly saw all those beasts making different sounds while Kent communicated with them occasionally in a whispering manner.
“Haha… Haha… enough… let me breathe.” Kent uttered as he pushed the giant goat and other beasts to the side. But those beasts tried to fall back on him with a playful sound. Kent stretched his hands and began tickling those beasts by moving his fingers on the thick fur.
“What the hell is he doing? Why is he tickling that spirit ape like a small kitten?” A girl muttered with wide, open eyes.
Soon more and more people gathered around the taming grounds. They all stood with confused faces as Kent tamed every beast placed for their training.
“What the hell is happening here?” A loud shout disturbed everyone as peak master Leona landed on the taming grounds in her handicapped frog.
All the disciples hurriedly moved away from her, afraid of her anger. Pushing the beasts to the side, Kent stood up and greeted Peak Master Leona with a head bow. After staring at it for a long time, she understood the situation.
“Did you tame these beasts?” Leona asked with a bit of surprise.
“No master… I’m just playing with them. They still have their ferocious nature.” Kent replied in a humble tone.
“What the hell is he talking about? Isn’t he playing with those beasts like kittens?” The disciples who stood by the side murmured.
With a confused face, Leona tested the beasts with a slight attack, and soon they made angry roars with fierce faces. Leona did not understand how Kent behaved close to them without taming them.
“You… go to your healing peak for today. From tomorrow, I will start your real training.” Leona said she was getting down from her frog.
Bowing his head, Kent left the beast abode peak on his Fire Kirin, and the black serpent followed him closely. Those beasts in the taming grounds began making unwilling sounds while staring at the leaving back of Kent.
“What are you all staring at? Take your positions.” Leona roared angrily, shouting at the disciples.

As Kent descended from Haling Sun Peak, his thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a servant waiting for him at the entrance of his residence.
“Young master,” the servant greeted him hurriedly as Kent approached. “Peak master Shreya is waiting for you at the healing tower. She sent me to fetch you.”
Kent nodded, acknowledging the message with a sigh of resignation. Without a word, he followed the servant, his mind already racing with thoughts of what awaited him.
Upon reaching the entrance of the healing tower, Kent found himself face-to-face with Peak Master Shreya. She stood tall and imposing, her demeanor commanding respect and authority.
Kent bowed his head respectfully, greeting her in a manner befitting her status. “Disciple greets master.”
Shreya returned the greeting with a nod, her gaze piercing as she studied him. “Kent, it seems like you came a little earlier from the beast abode.”
“Yes, Peak Master. Master Leona sent me early, and she said she would start the real training tomorrow.” Kent straightened, meeting her gaze with determination.
“Good,” Shreya replied briskly, her tone leaving no room for further discussion. “Now, follow me.”
With that, she turned and began to ascend the stairs, her steps purposeful and confident. Kent followed closely behind, his heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.
As they reached the top floor of the healing tower, Kent’s eyes widened at the sight before him. Rows of preserved skeletons and dead bodies lay before him, a stark reminder of the gravity of their work.
“It might be a hurry for you, but take your time to focus and learn the basics of needle handling, finding acupoints, needle insertions, and withdrawal.” Shreya began, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.
Kent nodded solemnly, his mind racing to absorb all the information being imparted to him. Shreya wasted no time in beginning her demonstration, her hands deftly manoeuvring the hollow needles with precision and skill.
While holding a needle in between his fingers, Kent began mimicking her actions.
