Chapter 326 - A King Roc As A Ride?



'The first step is finally complete…'

I could let out my first breath of relief as passing the part of the tournament meant that I already went through the first bottleneck of the plan, which meant that I had already took a serious step into realizing the plan, it was no longer just a thought, it was only a matter of how much time would it take to reach the end point.

Swish...

"What do you think? It's not a bad ride, right?" the green haired representative said as he gently smiled towards me as I couldn't help but stare into the sky...

The second part of the 'Show-Off' had already ended and I had already received my own token, the whole ceremony continued for a while as the sect honor roll was made as well, every sect got a special prize as well, in the form of something called 'Sect Points' which seemed to be an exchangeable currency that was valued for the use of certain rare resources.

In the end, after some simple activities, the Acceptance Ceremony ended being 2 hours long, the reason as to why they had to postpone it 10 days after the tournament was still ambiguous to me, and it felt like they just had too much time on their hands. The only answer I could reach was that these ten days were probably the time when 'Battle City' was most active, working as a major trade center.

Naturally, the sect that one first rank was the 'Elemental Blade Sect', securing more than three ranks within the top ten including the first and the second rank were more than enough to achieve the top spot without any problem.

"Indeed..."

'This is…'

After the whole ceremony was done, the green haired representative had collected the members who managed to get into the top 10 including me, the water halberd guy, Clara and another member who didn't leave much of an impression and guided us outside where he blew a special whistle to grab our 'ride'...

Screeeee!

A majestic cry filled the sky as the 'ride' that looked more like a 'giant bird' started to grow bigger and bigger in my vision…

As it started getting closer and closer, I was finally able to see it's true size, describing it as a 'ride' or a 'giant bird' seemed to be an understatement, just its 'pre-landing' wing flaps seemed to be strong enough to blow a normal human away...

"You don't seem to be that impressed though, most new recruits who get the chance to ride our 'King Roc' are usually mind blown, you really are a special case…" the green haired representative said jokingly as he put his hand on a part of the gigantic bird's forehead and started caressing it gently, the bird seemed to actually enjoy it…

'I guess it was about time this mythical beast appeared as well…'

Starting with encountering talking lions, wyverns, dragons and finally even talking to the Ancestor of dragons himself, just seeing a mythical creature that was on the same grade as dragons according to eastern myths wasn't really surprising by now.

"Alright, all of you hop on!" the green haired representative instructed us as he made a small wind cyclone in front of him, which seemed like his definition of a stair that was needed to get on this 'ride'.

I simply did as he instructed and lightly jumped into the cyclone, landing directly on the medium sized wooden cabin that was installed on the roc's back.

The cabin barely had space for like six people to sit comfortably, which seemed to be the reason as to why only the top 10 rankers of the sect could use this method as the rest were told to go back through carriage.

It didn't take long before the rest jumped on, the representative seemed to be quite experienced as he managed to make the other three land within the cabin without trouble, and while their leg bones would have broken if they were normal people, their constitution was several times that of a normal human so it probably only felt like landing from a light jump..

Shhhhh…

As soon as we got seated and pulled the thing that seemed similar to a 'seat belt', the representative blew the whistle once more before we found ourselves up in the sky with just one big flap.

However, for some reason, the wind that should have been equally as fast and strong as the roc's flap didn't make any impact at that, it felt like we were in a wind isolation chamber…

"The windless flight is pretty cool, right?" the representative smiled proudly as if he was the cause of it, but I had already understood what was happening by this point…

'Ah, it's a cross-breed…'

I was already somewhat unsure about this 'gigantic bird' being an actual Roc as normal dragons were usually even bigger than that, their powers were supposed to be beyond the normal human comprehension, I was only able to kill one because its growth was stopped at a pretty early stage. Which is why a human sect using a 'Roc' as their 'ride' didn't make sense…

With its origin being revealed as a mix breed, it finally made a bit sense, I mean, managing to obtain a 'King Roc' as a sect pet and only using it as a ride could only make sense if the sect master was actually stupid.

"Well, I guess the new generation practitioners are getting better…" the green haired representative said with a bitter smile as his excitement started to finally cool down.

It wasn't hard to understand that he was used to surprising new sect members with how 'cool' the 'King Roc' was, but as he hit a roadblock such as me and the silent Clara, it seemed like he decided to give up on 'Showing-Off' using the cross-breed Roc...
