"The battle may look fair and square, however, the defeat still gave a stain to my brothers reputation. It should be alright but the battle wasn't done very clean, either." The guy stated to both Cole and the judge after Brow leaved the stage and look for another fight. "I only wanted to clear things up as this will give our family name a great stain." He added.

"The higher-ups watching this battle didn't come down and 'correct' Cole's error. Are you questioning the Elders, as well as the sect we represent, judgement?" The judge answered.

The guy's expression turned stiff then darken. Those words were true, a great threat and warning to him as well.

"Hmm! If I'm not mistaken, the color and appearance may look a little different but the beast at your shoulder is an Hallucination Fox, right?" The guy snorted as he looked for a moment at Cole and focus at the Blue. "And the Hallucination Foxes were renowned for their ability to put their opponent to see things like of hallucinations! So I say that this kid cheated and uses beast to win!" This time, the guy lost his composure and started to talk with a little loud tone.

The scene and commotion were getting bigger and started to get out of control as this was also equivalent to questioning the sect itself, afterall, they didn't find anything wrong. He was sure that the sect started to see him as a troublemaker. He was already treading on a thin line since his qualification for the recruitment might be disqualified.

But he can't stop now. It will only proven that he was causing an unwanted scene and will also show as a sign that he admitted defeat. It will bring him endless trouble and his reputation would also go down the drain.

"A cultivator who focused on taming beast were already known and recognized by the masses. Although this look unfair to others but this was the path he chose to take. If we deny him using his tamed beast, then we might as well deny the sword cultivators not to use their swords!" The judge answered to Brow's brother accusation.

Brow's brother gritted his teeth. He's getting cornered and cornered.

It was true that weapons were a great addition to cultivators strength. For instance, a cultivator who focused on the way of the swords will have a great decline with their strength. It would even be considered a lucky occurence if they could exert 50% of their powers without their sword.

It was even more truth for beast tamers. Their strength was their tamed beast, without them, they'll really be powerless. In comparison for sword cultivators, it was not just without a sword, it was like a swordsman without his weapon as well as his arms.

"Drop this issue already. Although this leave a great dent to you and your family's reputation, it is way more better than creating a rift between your family and Five Element Sect." The judge advise after sometime Brow's brother remain silent. "Cole only need the formalities and he'll be a genuine disciple of the Five Element Sect."

Brow's brother smirked. "Is the Five Element Sect are truly accepting beast tamers?" He provocatively said.

The judge frowned. The issue might not be secret and were already known by most of the great families and powers but provoking them using the issue, it was like rubbing a salt in their wounds.

"I also wanted to clear weather we'll recruit beast tamers or not." A voice of a male rangout. A middle-aged man appear and were walking towards their position with blue luxurious robe. It could be seen by his attire that he was someone powerful and important.

"Peak Master!" The judge exclamied in shock but immediately regain his composure and salute.

The moment middle-aged man appear, it didn't attract much of attention. Afterall, most of them had their own great background and attire this beautiful and classy were quite common at their eyes. At most, they just look as they thought he was someone important with the way he dressed.

However, the moment the judge said the word 'Peak Master', all of the person on the scene instantly look at the middle-aged man. Even those fighting at the other stage temporarily stop their battle as they also look at the newly arrived man.

Peak Master! Goodness! The spectators exclaimed with their selves.

As they all wanted to enter the Five Element Sect, so of course, they did some research about the system of the said sect.

Just like any other sect, the highest position in the Five Element Sect was the Sect Master. He was the true leader of the group, as well as the most powerful. It was known that the Five Element Sect' Sect Master was already at the peak Nascent Soul Stage, the next stage after the Core Formation Stage. It was even rumored that the Sect Master breakthrough to the next stage after the Nascent Soul Stage!

Of course, this wasn't baseless because someone saw and identified the Sect Master flying through the sky without external aid!

Ahhh!

One of the human's greatest ambition were to fly freely in the sky since time immemorial!

And cultivation made this possible!

The only prerequisite was that they must reached first a certain level of strength. And that is the stage after the Nascent Soul Stage.

The second highest position of the sect was Peak Masters!

Below the Sect Master, there was a total of five Peak Masters on the sect and they each represent the five main elements; fire, water, wood, earth and lastly, metal. This was also the base of their sect name, the Five Element Sect.

If this is any normal day, they don't even have the qualification much less see them with their own eyes. It could be seen how lucky they are this time.

This was just a normal disciple recruitment of the Sect. It was normal for the elders of the sect to host and manage this kind of event while peak masters rarely appear.

They only appear when a 'treasure' appear amidst them, or in other words, a true genius. A genius in most of the sects standards were called treasures by them.

Most of them look at the platform where Cole and the Peak Master where they were currently standing. However, after the thought pass their heads, it shifted their attention and give a certain kid a glance. Out of the all the present genius here, the kid was the only one with the highest chance of attracting the attention of such prestigious man.

Yet, they could only sigh heavily and look at the kid enviously. Compare to them, talented individual truly deserve that kind of treatment. It wasn't out of possibilities that he'll be recruited without passing this assessment test. It won't even be a shock to them if a Peak Master personally invite this kid in their sect.

They might even think that the kid had more worth than all of them combine.

They all just shake their head internally in frustration. Comparison truly make one's heart ache.

"I know that all of you are here somewhere! Come out now and address this situation!" The Peak Master loudly announced.

The first to appear is Elder Three along with an old man in green robes. The robe the old man wore looks normal, in fact, it look old as the color were starting to fade. The old man look normal, if anything, a great contrast compare to the middle-aged man in the stage. However, they knew the old man was also someone powerful and important as Elder Three remain humble with his presence.

"Peak Master." The judge once again said respectfully as he also salute with the respectful old man.

This time, all of the on-going battle stop temporarily as all of the judges, the official disciples of the sect, leave their post and started to encircle the battle platform where Cole as well as the two Peak Master's were standing.

After the second Peak Master arrived, frown resurface at Cole's face. It seems like beast tamers have some kind of problems with the Five Element Sect. And the issue were getting bigger and bigger.

Moments later, another three person appear; a man with brown robes, two woman with a red and silver robes, respectively. They were the other remaining Peak Master of the Five Element Sect.

Goodness! To think that they will all see all the Peak Masters of the Five Element Sect! How lucky are they?!

Most of the people look at the Peak Masters with revered look. Even those who stop their battle temporarily wanted to continue as they want to showcase their skill and talent in hopes for the Peak Masters to notice them.

How great would it be if the Peak Master notice them? It will be like ascending the Heaven with one leap! Pills, techniques, weapons, equipments, power... All of those will be in the palm of their hands!

"We have seen Master Dew of Water Peak."

"We have seen Master Timber of Wood Peak."

"We have seen Master Terrano of Earth Peak.

"We have seen Lady Red of Fire Peak."

"We have seen Madam Tina of Metal Peak."

The official disciples, who are present on the Flat Mountain Peak, all said continuously with their palm and fist salute as they show their respect to the Peak Masters arrival. While those that are not bow their heads while saluting except for Cole, who doesn't know the signifance of this thing, and Ricky, who was clueless as Cole.

Many of the present sneered internally at Cole when they saw this. It was acceptable for Ricky since he was a genius but Cole was just like them, nothing to brag about. He even brought some problems with him.

"This is not the correct place to discuss this kind problem." Madam Tina spoke after she lastly arrived at battle platform.

"What Madam Tina said is right. This kind of topic have a great regards with our sect rules and it shouldn't be discuss in public." Master Terrano agreed.

"What we will discuss needed and will be publicized eventually. There is no harm in discussing it in public." Master Dew defended. "It will be just a simple discussion, wether we would really accept beast tamers cultivators or not."

"There is nothing to discuss then. The Five Element had no restriction with the disciples to be recruited except evil cultivators. There is no need to make a new one." Master Timber said. "If you're thinking this because of our conflict with Beast Tamer Sect, then this discussion is finish. We have a conflict with Beast Tamer Sect, yes, but we don't have to antagonize the whole profession. It will create countless issues and troubles."

Master Terrano, Lady Red and Madam Tina nodded, "I agree with Master Timber." They said in unison.

Master Dew gritted his teeth. Being opposed was truly not nice. "What if he's a spy sent by that sect?"

"Think again Master Dew. Sending a beast tamer as spy is too obvious." Master Timber answered and pause. "Besides, my instinct tell me that he's not, in anyway, connected to Beast Tamer Sect and the beast at his shoulder is the best evidence. Hallucination Fox were rare but not too hard to find especially with the network of Beast Tamer Sect yet you won't see any of their member and disciples uses this kind of beast."

"I agree with Master Timber." Madam Tina said. "Their art were not compatible with the beast like Hallucination Fox. I'm sure that Hallucination Fox could only exert at most 30% of its abilities if they were tamed by them, which is not ideal. They will be considered as trash."

Master Dew frown in contemplation. He was, afterall, one of the Peak Masters of the Five Element Sect so he knew, more or less, some idea about the art of the Beast Tamer Sect. It had some restrictions and the most apparent of them was they were unable to tame with their art an Elemental Beast. No disciple of the said sect had a tamed Elemental Beast.

After he was reminded, his mind cleared. He then look at the small beast in Cole's shoulder and saw the intelligent glint in its eye, a great difference with the lifeless and robotic look of the tamed beast of disciples of Beast Tamer Sect.

Seeing the convinced look of Master Dew, Master Limber knew that the issue ends here. He looked at Cole and said, "Welcome to Five Element Sect. Wood Peak will welcome you with open arms."

After Master Limber spoke, he leaved the stage and the other Masters also leave.

"You are welcome in my Water Peak, young man." Master Dew said to Brow's brother before he leave.
