Cole heaved a sigh of relief when he arrived at the second floor. Being openly scorned by many was truly not a good feeling.

The second floor of [Technique Tree] had the same look as the first floor, it only contain less number of items. There are, more or less, 500 items which includes the books, scrolls, crystals and others, half of the thousand items from the first floor.

One hour later, Cole skim all the techniques on the second floor, the same amount of time he spent on the first floor. He deliberately do this to avoid what happen from the first floor or he could finish it for half an hour, if not less.

The techniques on the second floor contains occasional special [Mortal-Rank Technique] and, of course, [Earth-Rank Techniques].

This time, there are many techniques that he took fancy to but this one technique win among them all;

Plant Growth Acceleration Technique [Earth-Rank] Affinity : Wood Description : Stimulate the growth of plant by sending Wood-Energy into it.

This technique cannot be use in battle but it has great potential and application. It could hasten the growth of any plant which he finds fascinating and great technique.

He may not know the true significance of precious herbs but he already have an idea about it due to existence of pills.

Pills were made from different herbs and herbs should be several years old before they could use. If the process of growing up herbs would be shorten, how great would it be?

After he found his technique on the second floor, Cole set his eyes to the third floor. He was very expectant at what lies within that floor since there are many good things on the second floor.

The number of items on the third floor was greatly reduced, it was the first thing Cole saw. It only contains an 100, more or less, items, making the third floor look spacious. And there are only 3 other people beside him here, a two men and a lady. The lady smile at him charmingly which Cole return with smile of his and a nod. He then started to check the techniques.

The same as the second floor, the third floor contain some special [Earth-Rank Techniques], and of course, a [Sky-Rank Techniques].

As expected, the techniques on the third floor was much better than the last two floors. Cole read them more seriously.

Half an hour later, he finished all the techniques on the third floor. All the techniques were all great but this one was the one he wanted the most;

Unseen Hands Technique [Heaven-Rank] Affinity : Soul Description : Create an invisible hands made of Soul-Energy.

At first, when Cole first saw this technique, he was shocked as it was an [Heaven-Rank] technique. He thought that there might be some mistake, afterall, this floor was reserved for [Sky-Rank] technique. But when he pondered about it, he thought that this technique should be really hard to practice, hard enough to be demoted to third floor.

Soul was fragile that just one mishap on it will result to unhealable damage.

Cole smile with himself and started to walk outside the building when he saw the lady who smile at him awhile ago looking at him, specifically to the crystal on his hand. It seems that the lady recognized the technique.

Cole show the book that contain the [Plant Growth Acceleration Technique] and the crystal of [Unseen Hands Technique] to the old man at the front of [Technique Tree].

"If you chose this two, whether you learn it or not, your chance will be used. Do you really want to learn this techniques?" The old man asked Cole.

Cole nodded, "Yes."

"[Plant Growth Acceleration Technique] uses the Wood-Energy on the body. Those who decided to learn this either rarely use this or just abandon the technique. Do you really want to learn this?"

Cole nodded, "Yes." He answered full of certainty. Unlike those disciples, he have the [Messiah Tree] who instantly refill his Wood-Energy.

The old man nodded, "[Unseen Hands Technique] is a [Heaven-Rank] technique which should only be at the fourth floor. However, for the last hundred years, there is no one who successfully cultivated this technique which eventually demoted to third floor." The old man explain the circumstance of the technique. "80% of those who tried to learn this turn idiot, unable to think correctly. While the remaining 20% recovered from the soul damage but their cultivation stagnate." He look at Cole seriously. "Do you still want to learn this?" He asked.

Cole cupped his hands, "Thank you for the kind reminder Elder but I still choose to learn this techniques." He answered.

Cole didn't know why but his soul was strong. Strong enough to endure the game version of the [Myriads Beast Soul-Branch Technique] where he already split his soul to fifty branch, fifty-one to be exact. So he knew that he will be successful in cultivating the [Unseen Hands Technique].

The Elder sigh inside. He's the attendant of the [Technique Tree] for years now and he already witness those excited disciple to chose this techniques only to return dejected. But he can do nothing to those stubborn disciple who insist regardless of his reminder.

"If you managed to successfully learn this [Unseen Hands Technique], show it to me and I'll reward you." The elder just said for encouragement for Cole. But this was not just a simple encouragement, afterall, the technique is still one of the sects' [Heaven-Rank] technique. They only have six [Heaven-Rank] technique, including this, but sadly it has severe requirement. If the kid managed to somehow learn this, then it will prove that he was talented and will be worth nurturing by the whole sect.

Cole nodded as he put the items inside his robe, "I will elder." He answered truthfully.

Cole arrived at the front of an old looking tree. This was an unused building of the Wood-Peak, and this tree was the base the peak assigned to him. In short, this will be the base of the future Beast Tamer League.

After he admired the tree building on the outside, he get inside. As expected, the inside also look old and most of all, dusty. It could easily be seen that the building wasn't maintained, or even cleaned, for years.

It seems like he have cleaning to do.

Cole survey the whole building until he arrived at the top which is also a floor itself. He smiled as the view on the top was quite amazing, a landscape of a great forest.

The Wood-Peak itself preserved the forest look of the place, added to the fact that the location of the place were a little far from active place, the landscape looks like a virgin forest. Even the building he stand on looks like a normal, huge tree on the outside.

Cole instantly love the place. His league would definitely deal with beast, and those creatures love and wanted their natural habitat, the forest. This place was the best and ideal location for his league.

Cole survey the place to look for a certain shape and found a deep, small circular hole on a special location on the top. It was the slot for a banner.

Cole willed and his status panel on his eyes appear and found a specific part—

Mission : The Beast-Tamer League

—and focus on it.

Redeem?

Cole instantly answered 'yes' in his head.

+1 League Banner +1 Intention Stone +100 System Points

A magic circle, or so he like to called it before, appear that looks extremely bright and dashing.

Yeah... He should not do this in front of many people...

Comprehensible and complex lines appear in his front and finished forming after two seconds, the formation then release a blinding light which Cole close his eyes instinctively. When he open his eyes again, two items was floating in front of him, a banner and a normal looking stone. The banner was composed of a piece of white cloth with a design of a normal looking tree and golden stick where it was attached. He instantly smiled at that image as it was exactly the same tree inside the [Inner World], the [Messiah Tree].

As for the [Intention Stone], it looks like a normal stone of this world. If anything, it was the same, but not quite, like those testing stone he encountered at disciple recruitment test.

After checking the two item, Cole inserted the pole of the [League Banner] into the hole he found just awhile ago. After it was placed, a new notification appear,

Set as the base?

Cole answered yes.

Checking Validity... Validated by Peak Master... Validation Accepted. The Beast-Tamer League Mission:Stage 2 Complete. Processing Reward... Processing Complete.

Redeem?

Cole answered 'yes' once again in his head.

+1 Restricted Attributeless Energy Gathering-Formation Blueprint +1 Restriction Rings Blueprint +500 System Points

After those series of notification pass his eyes, he instantly look at his front expecting a great [Formation] to once again appear to 'send' his reward. Yet, unexpectedly, it didn't happen. Instead, the [Summoning Grimoire] appear in his front without him summoning it. It glow and open then flip it pages on its own and stop in a blank page. Then a word 'Creation Magic' appear on top part of the page. A picture of incomprehensible lines imprinted itself along with the description of it. After that, an image of silver ring appear and its description. When the process finished and the glow subsided, a notification appear;

Summoning Grimoire acquired 'Creation Magic' skill.

Cole instantly summon the [Summoning Grimoire] status panel.
