Chapter 19: Reward

# Extra chapter (1) for reaching 250 power stones.

Finally, it was Henrick's turn to test and the sect leader expectantly looked at him as he had high hopes on both Henrick and Nick.

Nick had already reached his hopes and now waiting for Henrick to shock him again.

'System, do you have any idea of their classification for the three regions of the outer sect?' While moving towards the sect leader, Henrick asked the system about the affinity test.

'Ding,

After some rough calculation, this is the data I got from their classification

'Ding,

Fire affinity below 40 percent - Lower region of the outer sect

Fire affinity below 41-69 percent - Middle region of the outer sect

Fire affinity above 70 percent - Higher region of the outer sect

As soon as he asked the system, it sent two notifications and gave a rough classification on how the sect master was giving the cultivation abode.

'So, according to your data, I will get a cultivation abode in the middle region, right?' Henrick silently thought in his head.

Since he had 66 percent of the fire element affinity, he instantly knew that he would go to the middle region and he was satisfied with it as it was better than a lower region cultivation abode.

Soon, Henrick reached the sect master and placed his hands onto the crystal orb, which started glowing with a bright red light; however, the light was not as bright as the earlier one when Nick was tested.

'66 percent affinity with the fire element, the middle region,'

The sect leader raised his brows for a moment and before smiling like his usual self.

Inside his heart, he felt sad with Henrick's fire element affinity as he was only short of a little percent; however, he didn't show it on his face and continued to maintain his smile.

'Damn it, is this the reason why the sect leader is conducting the assessment on his own?'

'Did he already knew that there will be some good disciples in this assessment?'

'I should at least get one of them from these two disciples,'

All the elders now doubted the reason why the sect leader suddenly took interest in the outer sect disciple assessment when it could be hosted by any of the personal disciples of the elders.

Nevertheless, in the end, all their thoughts came down to recruiting any one of those two disciples, who were assessed at the last/.

"Everyone, now the assessment is over. Collect your token from the grand elder before going out of the mountain."

"Tomorrow morning by the time you come back to the mountain, your cultivation abodes will be readied," The sect leader spoke with breaks and finally said, "Now, These two disciples will receive a gift from me as I promised earlier."

In the beginning, the sect leader had promised that those who would stand until he finished speaking in the enchanted fire ground would get a gift from him.

And only Henrick and Nick were able to endure the pressure. So, the sect leader finally asked them to come forward to receive their reward from him.

"The reward is to become my personal disciple," The sect leader looked at both of them for a moment before announcing the reward.

"What?"

"What?"

The grand elder, ten elders and all the other working disciples were shocked by the sect leader's words as they never expected that he would take in some personal disciples.

'Damn it, why does he want to take them as his personal disciples all of a sudden?'

'He didn't take in any personal disciple before and why is he taking in, not one but two disciples?'

'Looks like I have to wait some more time for getting some good disciples,'

'Sigh'

All the elders sighed and muttered to themselves while looking at the sect leader, who didn't take in any personal disciple until now, was taking two disciples under his tutelage.

All the working disciples also looked at Henrick and Nick in envy but they knew that they were given the chance of becoming the personal disciples of the sect master because of their talent.

"If you don't want to become my personal disciple, I can give another reward. You just need to say your answer without any fear,"

When the sect leader Gamos looked at both young men in front of him, who were not giving any reply, he laughingly asked them to give their answer and looked at them.

....

"Why is he taking so long? Did something go wrong?"

In the dining hall of the working disciples, an old man stroked his little white beard as he looked at the mountain through a window of the hall.

In front of him, a little red monkey was sleeping peacefully without any care in the world.

The old man was none other than the Elder Eagor and the little monkey was the baby fire monkey that Henrick had left in his care while he went for the assessment.

Elder Eagor was worried about Henrick because in the past the outer sect disciple assessment didn't take place this long. So, he wondered what happened to Henrick.

"Hey, Elder Eagor,"

Soon, he heard the excited shout from a distance and hurriedly stood up from his chair.

Along with him, the baby fire monkey, which was peacefully sleeping, woke up and ran in the direction of the excited shout.

'Looks like this brat has got some good cultivation abode,'

When he saw how excited Henrick was, Elder Eagor smiled while thinking he got a cultivation abode in the middle region of the outer sect and felt happy for him.

'Eek' 'Eek'

The baby fire monkey rushed at him and hurriedly climbed on to him before settling on his shoulders.

"It sure looks happy after missing you for an entire morning, brat," Elder Eagor chuckled at the behaviour of the baby fire monkey and asked Henrick, "So brat, did you get a cultivation abode in the middle region or what?"

"Hehe..." Instead of replying to the Elder's question, Henrick mysteriously smiled,
