"Big brother, I'm here to join your [Beast-Tamer League]!" Ricky exclaimed happily.

Cole smile and ruffle Ricky's head, "Of course, you do." He was already expecting this. "But before I accept you, you have to own beast as it was the most important rule and requirement of my league." He added. But he's sure that Ricky will find beast not because it was the requirement to join the league but because he's also cultivating the [Heavenly Beast God Technique] which he have to have a contract one sooner or later.

Also, as he stated before, the most very important requirement of his league was owning their own beast. This was the rule he have thought before and this was also the only requirement of his league. He didn't make this just because he don't like the other class, no, but because he wanted his league to specialize in beast taming, just like some other league in the sect.

For instance, like the one Elder One mention before, the [Serene Fragrance League]. Base on what he learned about this league, the [Serene Fragrance League] was a group compose of Wood Cultivator who focused mainly on healing techniques and don't accept anyone who didn't fall on this category.

He managed to get a glimpse of the image of this league's league leader. It gave him quite a shock when he saw the woman as it was the same as the woman who follow him with sight when he chose the [Unseen Hands Technique] from [Technique Tree]'s third floor.

Meanwhile, the [Forest Rangers League] accept any type of members as long as someone has the affinity with Wood. Be it a healer, sword cultivator, even someone who was good at identifying different wild herbs and natural treasure of Heaven and Earth. This was also why this league was the most flexible, powerful and most of all, have the greatest number of members. In the whole Wood-Peak, atleast.

Of course, since he was researching about league's, he also investigate the other leagues. Fortunately, the way he wanted to run his [Beast-Tamer League] was valid since the other had the same rules. It was accepting other peak members to join his league. In other words, regardless if they're disciples of Wood-Peak, Water-Peak, Fire-Peak, Earth-Peak or Metal-Peak, as long as they have beast companion, they could join his league.

So, Ricky joining his [Beast-Tamer League] was valid.

"Don't worry. I'll help you look for your beast." Cole said to Ricky. "After I finish my mission, we'll start right away." He added after he remember his [Red Skull Bandit] unfinished business.

"All right. Can I help you with your mission?" Ricky asked. "I've been training very hard this last few months and I become more strong than before. I definitely can help big time!" He added, boasting.

Cole smile as he check Ricky's status panel to see the improvements he was boasting to him.

Party Member Name : Ricky ♂️ Class : ∅ Profession : ∅ CS : Ninth-Level Mana Gathering-Stage Progress : 97.9% CM : Heavenly Beast God Technique Innate : Water Spirit Body Skills : Free Water Bending Technique : Raging River Sword Technique Weapon : Swift Water Sword Equipment : Storage Pouch, Blue Metal Armor, Water Treading Shoes Martial Spirit : Water Dragon

Cole smile in satisfaction after he saw Ricky's improvement for this past few days. It seems that his master, Master Dew, doted him. It could be easily seen with the great number of weapon and equipments Ricky received. This was greatly a big improvement since Ricky was practically a pauper when Master Dew received him but now, he's like a best example of silk pants cultivator.

"No need." Cole deny Ricky's help. It's not that he don't want Ricky's help, its just that his mission was very life threatening. Cole don't want to put Ricky's life on the line too. "Just wait for me finish my mission."

"You will drop that mission." A very serious voice rang out from nowhere. Seconds later, both Master Dew and Master Timber appear.

Ricky immediately approach his Master, salute and bow, and said, "Master."

Master Dew immediately smile as he knew that his beloved disciple are back and the bratty disciple were currently suppressed.

"Outer Disciple Hard have seen both Master Timber and Master Dew."

Both Master nod at Hard's way as acknowledgement which is enough to send the latter to heaven.

Cole frown, yet despite that, he still gave them proper greetings.

"Why do I have to drop the [Red Skull Bandit] mission?" Cole asked immediately after all the pleasantries.

Master Timber's brow instantly scrunched up while Master Dew look at Cole as if he was a retarted person; What kind of question was that?! Does stopping you from sending yourself to death was something to be upset about? Ah... Sometimes, being ignorant was truly a bliss...

"Answer me honestly, are you a dual-affinited person of [Space] and [Water]?" Master Dew asked seriously.

Cole's frown smoothed while he size up both the prestigious Masters, then his sight shifted to Hard who was currently nearby.

Master Timber seem to received the message of Cole's gesture as he spoke, "Outer-Disciple Hard, your task finished here. Go personally to Elder One and tell him that I send you back."

Hard perceived the underlying meaning as he bowed to Master Dew and said, "I'll do as Peak Master said," bow to Master Dew too, nod at Cole's way then started to walk away from the place.

"Can you tell us now?" Master Dew asked the moment Hard was removed from their sight.

Cole didn't answer immediately as he think deeply for a moment of why should they think that he have the affinity like they said, [Space] and [Water]? The most probable reason he could think of was his scene at the [Teleportation Formation] and his water show just a while ago. Although they didn't saw the water spectacle, knowing someone as Master Dew who was a master of water arts, they will know that were other person who was good at controlling water.

"Touching a [Strength Testing Stone] will immediately create a reaction like an instinct. If a person with single affinity touch the object, regardless of their affinity, will immediately glow. Unless someone had no affinity at all or if they multi-affinity, then [Strength Testing Stone] will not immediately glow, instead, it would wait for the person to send a trace of their energy before they create a reaction." Master Timber stated as he could see that Cole seem like he were thinking of escape root. "You are definitely not an affinitless person. With your current bone-age, reaching your current stage is definitely not possible. Which signifies that you are the other type, a dual-affinited individual."

"You know, I don't know why you are so adamant on hiding that your a dual-affinited person. You should know that if the sect known it from the start, we'll put a great importance to you and resources will flow to you without an effort..." Master Dew wondered out loud but suddenly trail as a thought surface in his mind; his disciple, Ricky, was the most clueless, to the point that he looks stupid, person he know of. Don't tell him that Cole was the same as Ricky? Clueless about the world of cultivation? Did he pop out of rock too?

Unbeknownst to Master Dew, Cole was not clueless as he think. At least, Cole knew that persons with dual affinity were rare and precious. It just that Cole had many secret with him, specially the Messiah Tree. He don't want to stand out much by putting himself to spotlight.

Yet, when he thought about it, it seems that he was already making himself to stand out. Just the [Heavenly Tribulation] phenomenon was enough to put him on spotlight. Added to the fact he have to make himself known or the [Beast-Tamer League] rather, it seems that he can't remain on low profile.

Since he thought about it, it seems that he don't have to conceal no more. He don't have to reveal all his secret are, he just have to go with the flow and show them what they are expecting but added more. He have selected the [Plant Growth Acceleration] technique from the [Technique Tree], sooner or later, as long as they also look at this up, they'll also know that he have an affinity with Wood. After all, he won't choose a technique he can't use. In others mind, no matter how stupid someone was, they won't use their chance to choose something that was not with use for them.

Better reveal them now to avoid some inconvenience later.

Cole sigh and put an defeated expression as if his biggest secret was revealed. "The truth is I have an affinity with three elements, [Space], [Water], and the last one, [Wood]."

Both Master turned speechless. They're literally unable to respond immediately as they information they received gave them a shock of their life.

Cole gave his everything just to remain his defeated expression and not show even a simple trace of smile. He don't want them to thought that he was mocking them.

Both Master was in disbelief. It was already shocking but very good news that the kid was a dual-affinited person, yet, they suddenly received that he actually have triple affinity? Goodness! They truly stumbled upon a great treasure this time!

Becuase of this, both the masters were more determined to stop Cole on sending his self to death. No matter how genius this kid are, if he died early, then he's not a genius at all. It will only prove that he have no good but poor judgement ability.

"Red Skull Bandit are not just a normal bandit group. Although we didn't have the corresponding information about the strength the whole group possess but its leader were publically known that he have the cultivation of peak Nascent Soul-Stage. Their leader only need to face and overcome his [Heavenly Tribulation] and he'll breakthrough to Void Trancendance-Stage, the same stage our Peak Master are." Master Timber said as he wanted to inform Cole the strength they posses, hoping that it will convinced the kid to drop the mission for now. "Drop the mission for now and focus more on your cultivation and increase your strength."

"Master Timber is right. Just focus on strengthening yourself and make your league prosper. Knowing my disciple, he'll definitely join your league and as his Master, I don't want him to join some shabby league that will hamper his growth." Master Dew said. "Don't worry. Maybe by the time your strength reach the desirable level, our investigation will be finished. We happened to caught some big shot of that group and we are currently interrogating him. That guy's lips are currently tip tight but we'll break him sooner or later. We'll make him spill all of their secrets. The moment he did, I'll personally inform you myself." Master Dew added, consoling Cole.

"You caught Red Skull Bandits' important person?!" Cole exclaimed loudly, very surprised. "Take me to see him!" He requested, almost demanded.

Cole smile inside as he felt that the Heaven were helping him. Unlike the ways of the Five Element Sect who definitely use torture to make the criminal spill their secrets, he have way more better than it as he have Celia. He don't need to ask someone if he wanted to obtain their secrets, he just have to forcefully take it by using Celia's [Soul Search].

Both the Peak Master frown at Cole's demand. No matter how genius Cole was, he was still just a disciple. But since they knew the circumstances, they knew that Cole doesn't mean to disrespect them.

"All right. I'll inform the Metal Peak and you'll see this Red Skull Bandit member tomorrow."
