LEGEND REBORN : THE SAMURAI WORLD

PREPARING FOR THE SEMI CONTINENTAL EVENT

AT THE IMPERIAL CULTIVATION GROUNDS...

The training for the fifteen was nearing its end, various masters had been summoned all over the nation and they had given the disciples pointers. They received endless lessons not just in cultivation, but also in comprehensive knowledge about the entire universe.

They were introduced to two new realms by the masters, Matero knew of this and knew even more realms existed. The masters introduced the fourth realm known as the realm of pseudo spirits and the fifth realm known as the realm of true spirits. They couldn't provide the disciples with adequate information because no one in the entire nation had passed the third realm. The highest rank currently in the entire nation was the late stages of the third rank of the third realm, which was the realm of masters. The nation's lord, grand master Kerepa and some masters were at this rank. All those that were at this rank could be counted with the fingers of one hand.

The third realm had been the limit of the nation for a while and they introduced the other two realms because the disciples would see cultivators at this level in both the semi continental and continental levels of the coming events.

The masters bitterly confessed that their nation could be categorized as one of the weakest and that they had no hopes that any of their disciples would qualify in the semi continental event. Matero wasn't surprised by this fact, he was certain there would be opponents who had the strength of his institution's Elders. He needed to increase in strength by leaps and bounds if he wanted to stand a chance.

Just a week was left for preparations, the battle capacity of the disciples had increased incredibly, all those at the first step had already stepped up to the second step, Kelena was in this category. There was a huge difference in their level of skills and techniques, the fifteen also trained as a team and they quickly became a formidable fifteen samurai force. Lord Saru, Grand master Kerepa and a couple other elders remained unsatisfied with the overall strength and so the nation made one last attempt to boost the battle power of the fifteen.

While the fifteen trained on an open field, imperial sedans arrived and Saru along with some generals made his way to the field. He had brought special pills that granted the user the ability to rise by a step, it was refined specifically for the cultivators at the second realm, all the fifteen were in this category.

Matero was moved by the gesture, he knew such pills cost a fortune and the nation had struggled to get fifteen, nation or not, the cost must have been enormous. Once the disciples started taking the pills, they all stepped up on the spot, no matter when they reached their previous steps. Kelena attained the third step of the second realm, so did Titi and Haru. Da sun also stepped up to the fourth step of the second realm.

Matero on the other hand didn't use the pill, instead he hid it and stepped up on his own. Since his soul attained the fifth step of the second realm, he could step up to the fifth step instantly if he wanted to. He could achieve the rank his soul energy had reached without any effort at all. This was possible due to his soul retrieve and now his soul was at the second step of the third realm!

Another intensive training routine began, tougher than the previous one, all the disciples needed to master new techniques and skills effectively within one week. Everyone mastered various skills that attacked through the air, apart from Da sun at the fourth step, everyone else was at the third step of the second realm. They could feel the sharp difference in strength and senses, they finally understood how Da sun dominated everyone of them before.

"This third step should start an entirely different realm."

"I can see so much further away."

"Whaoo, so this is the feeling of power." They discussed within themselves with excitement.

In just one week, the battle power of the force doubled and on the next day, the fifteen would finally leave for the semi continental event. Just as they rested from training for the night, something bizarre happened.

The fifteen discussed as they exited the field, they were accompanied by various masters all at the second step of the third realm and also an old man called old Pa. He was at the early stages third step of the third realm and he was the main instructor for the night.

Suddenly what looked like a huge claw, made of flames appeared out of nowhere and crashed towards the company.

"Hmmph." Old Pa harrumphed and pulled his sword, he slashed out and an energy s***h moved fowards from the strike and collided with the claws.

"Bam!!!" The collision resulted in an explosion, it was bright in the night sky and everyone could see it from every angle of the imperial cultivation academy. The attacks vanished into thin air. "We are under attack." One of the masters within the company announced out loud, everyone quickly took battle stances.

From the sky, various masked figures began to drop round the company, they dropped round the company and formed a circle, enclosing the masters and disciples.

"The red rhino rebels." One of the masters quickly informed the others. "Go all out and try not to get injured. Everyone of them are masters, do not underestimate them." He added the warning. The red rhinos was a very troublesome band of rebels that had always troubled the nation, they had a very powerful force and also had one of the masters at the highest cultivation rank in the entire nation. They were led by one of the nation's strongest men. Harga.

"Reinforcements will be here any second but till then..." Chakra engulfed old Pa and a vigorous but youthful aura burst forth from him. He was like an entirely different being, his stance showed no signs of old age."Let me show you the battle power of real masters."
