Unrivaled Under The Heaven

After a few days, news about when they would be setting out was made known as they were given time to prepare. Meanwhile all this time, Jason was busy tempering his body with the lightning that was made from the formation around the tower. After few days of tempering his body, Jason was finally able to cultivate the first stage of the supreme heavenly lightning technique. Although he has not cultivated it to its peak but it should be more than enough to protect himself. 

"Now that you have finally cultivated the lightning boot, all that is left for you to is try it out" suggested the bracelet.

"Yeah, is it okay if l try it here" asked Jason.

"Feel free to try it out since it is what this space is for" replied the bracelet.

Rubbing his hand together in anticipation as Jason begins to stimulate his aura as he begins to activate the lightning boot and before long his legs are already covered in lightning-like boots.

"It looks good on you kid" complimented the bracelet.

With a light chuckle, Jason took a step only for him to crash into the tower.

"I guess I will need more time before I will be able to use this technique" said Jason as he twitch his face in pain.

"Good thing you still have one week before departure" replied the bracelet.

Getting up, Jason gave it a try once more but the results were still the same and there was a discovery which is the technique is very demanding of spiritual energy meaning he could only use it at least thrice before he runs out of energy.

With more days of practice, Jason was able to get it right. On the sixth day, while he was at home training, the grand elder sent someone to come get him. Jason tries to get more information about what the grand elder wants him for but no matter what he said the message won't say a thing and he was left with no choice but to go with him. Jason was brought to the family meeting hall where there were six kids of his age together with Austin waiting for the elders to arrive.

"I thought we are supposed to leave tomorrow so why are we been summoned here" asked Jason as he walked up to Austin.

"Just like you, we also have no clue why we are being summoned here" replied Austin.

While they were having their time discussing, the elders begin to come in as they took their sit before the grand elder and the family head walked in. They all greeted when the grand elder and family head walked in. Gesturing for everyone to get up as he took his seat, the grand elder begin to scan the area seeing if everyone is present before speaking up.

"Tomorrow you all will be leaving the family territory to an unknown place where you will all have to fight against your peers from the other families for treasure. Although it is too early for you all to partake in this hunt but there is nothing we can do since someone has tampered with the seal" said the grand elder before looking at the group as he let out a bitter sigh before continuing.

"It won't be easy for you all since the Allen family has been on the rise, my only advice to you all is to avoid direct confrontation with them since there is no way you will be able to beat them in a fight".

After he was down with his speech, the grand elder turn to the family head and seeing the grand elder looking at him, the family head knew it was time for him to speak as he stood up from where he was sitting before he begin his speech. 

After this is all over, you are to meet elder luke to collect your pills before going home and don't forget to wake up early for you are setting out very early".

After the family head was done with his speech, he sat down but it hasn't been long that he took his seat when someone suddenly raised his hand among the group. Looking at who it was only for him to frown.

"Hope he is not trying to find trouble" said the grand elder.

The family head let out a chuckle to the grand elder word before gesturing for Jason to speak.

"I would like to know, are we going there on our own or an elder will be leading us out" asked Jason.

"Of course elder luke will take you guys there so you don't have to worry too much" replied the family head with a smile. 

"Thank goodness because I don't even know where to go once I am outside the family territory" said Jason with a laugh.

"You are not qualified to be here not to take off going out on a hunt with us so mind the way you speak here" said a boy who was close to him.

"And you are" asked Jason with a frown as he turned to give him a look.

"You are not fit to know my name" replied the boy.

"It's not that I am not fit to know your name instead it is a waste of my time to mingle with a junk like you and if you may know, I am only asking of your name so that I would be able to avoid getting in contact with you" said Jason as he looked at him in disdain.

"You are looking to die kid" asked the boy with gritted teeth.

"Yes I am but it is too bad that you won't be able to grant me my death wish" replied Jason as he cross his hand in front of his chest while daring the boy to hit him.

"Ah this is what I was talking about, always causing trouble everywhere he goes" said the grand elder with a sigh.

"I also didn't expect things to turn out like this, at least their journey is not going to be a boring one" commented the family head with a laugh.

Seeing that the boy was getting angry to the extent of attacking, Austin said to Jason to stop cursing at the other party but no matter what he said could get into his head.

"Let me lecture him a little since his father could not do they since he is brainless" said Jason taking the matter seriously.

"That's it if I don't rip your leg out them I am not steven" said the boy as he threw a punch at Jason.

Catching the punch with ease, Jason was all smiles as he continued to mock steven.

"So your name is Steven, what a waste of name on someone with no brain".

"Enough, anymore conflict from any of you, you will have to give up your spot" said the grand elder angrily as he slam his hand on the table that is in front of him.

Jason has no choice but to keep his mouth shut since he doesn't want to lose his spot all because of a brainless kid. And seeing that Jason was not even talking back at him which is unlike him since he was the one that is in the wrong.

"Good thing he decided to keep quiet" thought the grand elder before speaking out with a steam face.

"You all should be thinking of how you are going to survive there instead you are picking a fight, now tell me if you can have a conflict here then what would be the outcome if you were to meet each other in the ruin".

"But it was he who came looking for trouble, all I did was ask a question" said Jason trying to get justice.

"I don't care who started it, all I am saying is that as of today you are all comrade and not enemies" replied the grand elder as he turned to Jason with a frown on his face.

'Now the grand elder is taking his side' thought Jason as he shook his head signaling to the grand elder that he won't let the matter go just like that and seeing the way Jason was acting, the grand elder couldn't help but let out a sigh as he said. 

"You are all dismissed and don't forget to meet elder luke to get your pills before going home".

They all bow before going to elder luke who begin to distribute the pill accordingly before they went home. 

"I cant wait to see the kids from the Allan family which they are telling us to stay away from" said Jason as he made his way home.

"Kid I will advise you do as the grand elder said since it is likely they are strong" advise the bracelet.

"Is not like I want to get into a fight with them, I just want to know if we will be able to take them on when things go sideways" said Jason.
