Cultivation Through Artifacts

When Khal heard that they have finally arrived, he halted his steps and followed the guard's finger to see where he was pointing at.

"That is the place where you will take your test, the Trial Room."

It was a building with a size of a smaller house and a roof that had a slight slope shape with layers of silver tiles that covered its sharp angles; its design was quite the same as the buildings back in the First Realm on top of Moon Mountain.

After inspecting the silver building, which in fact was built from a unique ore called Moon Silver which was capable of withstanding even several powerful strikes from a Body Temperer before collapsing, Khal shifted his gaze at the gate in the center and watched as a woman with otherworldly features began to walk toward them with calm and slow steps.

Her whole being was enhancing. Her midnight black hair that flowed down smoothly over her shoulder, her sparkling, obsidian-colored eyes that were akin to a pair of jewels that melted into the snow, and her flawless, milky skin together with her curvaceous body which could drive any man into insanity and make their imagination run wild; everything about her was like an immortal fairy's, a goddess who couldn't be reached by mere mortals!

"This disciple greets the Sect Master!" the guard immediately clasped his hands and bowed at the woman, his voice filled with nothing but deep respect.

Wait... Sect Master?

Hearing those two words, Khal immediately realized who this person before him truly was, thus quickly clasped his hands, and just like how the guard did, he bowed too.

"My name is Khal Nevio. It is my pleasure to meet with the Sect Master!"

When the guard saw that Khal introduced himself and even bowed the same way as him, he couldn't help but praise him a bit in his heart.

'Thankfully, this guy at least knows his place before Senior Lin, not like a few others...' as he thought about this, several pictures appeared in his head, and couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle when he remembered how those fools he brought here in the past ended up almost dying because acting all mighty and arrogant before the Sect Master.

Even the Sect Master, who was called as Senior Lin by the disciples, did a slight nod as an approval, but it was so tiny that it was almost nonexistent. Instead, what was more apparent on her beautiful face was her tight frown, seemingly troubled by something.

"Why do you hide your real Cultivation Base?" not beating around the bush, Senior Lin immediately asked her thoughts, catching off guard the two in front of him, particularly Khal who couldn't help but widen his eyes gently before calming down again and raise his head.

"What does the Sect Master mean by that?" Khal asked calmly, but deep in his heart felt great shock for two major reasons.

Firstly, he couldn't really understand just how the woman before him noticed that his presence was hidden and disguised as so far no one was able to notice it let it be Jas, Logan or even that powerful expert back in Haven City, Master Adam!

As for the second reason, he couldn't help but feel startled as the the moment he raised his head and looked into the pair of black eyes in front of him, he felt as a strange power tried to invade his mind and body, almost like it wished to seek and unearth every bit of his secrets that resided within him!

'Just in your dreams!' Khal's complexion immediately sharpened when he felt the sudden crisis and without hesitation he began to circulate his essence in his body while activating his Imitation Talent.

BAM!

As Khal's eyes turned completely obsidian, a powerful aura and power broke out of his body which quickly spread out, targeting the woman before him like a surge of tidial wave!

"What?!" both the guard and Senior Lin was taken by surprise by the sudden change of events, but alas, the latter one was not called the Sect Master for fun.

"Hmph!" with a cold snort, the Senior Lin's beautiful obsidian eyes flashed with a profound light and without holding back she activated her Blessing, Mind Enthralling Eyes!

It was such a powerful and terrifying Talent that whoever fell under its captivating power had no choice but reveal all of their secrets to her, while those with a weaker will fell in the middle of her palm right away, getting under her control without a chance to resist!

With such a horrondeous ability in possession, it was not a surprise at all that she was capable of climbing so far and becoming not only the master of this sect but also achieve a powerful cultivation base that was on the verge of breaking into next Stage, becoming a peak expert that could soon enter the next Realm!

BAM!

Instantly, a compelling power and aura broke out of Senior Lin's body that traveled toward Khal with great speed, ready to break Khal's attack into bits and teach him a lesson!

'You must have thought twice before acting so rash, kid! Now I will make you regret your decision!' Senior Lin sneered coldly in her heart, but the next second her pupils shrunk to the size of a needle from shock.

Just as she thought her Mind Enthralling Eye's power will crush Khal's assault and even invade and capture his mind together with his body, a sight she didn't anticipated happened!

Her power which should have crushed the approaching attack instead was forced to a complete halt, sending powerful ripples through the air that caused her silk smooth black hair to flutter wildly behind her back, boosting her natural charm by a notch higher!

BOOOM!

"T-This! How is this even possible?" the guard who was next to Khal looked stupefied as he was forced to take several steps back, but his shock deepened a level more when he saw only he took a step back and Khal didn't!

He stood where he was with a nonchalant look, seemingly unfazed by the wild shockwaves that not even a Body Refiner had what it took to resist against!

"Just who the hell is he?" the guard hissed through his clenched teeth, his eyes revealing great shock as he watched the young figure before him stand on equal ground against someone who was the master of this sect!
