Gongniu Jinde smiles towards his old time friend, Shadowslash was a bit shocked, his handsome friend have truly become a monk, he is now both bald and wearing a tunic with beads around his neck.
The boisterous and hotheaded friend have truly changed greatly, he knew that this was to honor his master, he was then lead to the battle arena immediately, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He still haven't said what he wanted to do nor issue any challenge and yet, knowing his confusion, Gongniu Jinde spoke "I know that you wouldn't visit my sect without any plan, also your child is exuding quite great battle intent."
Shadowslash quickly turns her head and saw Yan² scanning the sect members of the Beast Buddha Sect, he started laughing, he knew that his intention was seen by his old friend, he then spoke "Actually my true purpose is to invite you to my party."
Gongniu Jinde was a bit surprised, he then received the invitations, he quickly put his hand together and bows, Shadowslash was a bit taken aback but thinking about his friend change, he was no longer surprise.
He sighed and looks at the surrounding scenery, he was a bit mournful, he knew that his friend have sacrifice his true self to lead his sect, his true self was a bit like FD, he is now acting like a respectable monk.
"You have really become a respectable monk, huh, you were so hotheaded before just like your master but to think that you would burden yourself like this, you had basically sacrificed your true self for your sect."
Gongniu Jinde trembles slightly, he knew that his friend was saying the truth, he had suffered all this year, all of his true emotion have been bottled up inside him, he cannot lose control anymore just like before.
Shadowslash then patted his shoulder and said "When you visit my kingdom later, let's have a battle, not only for our reunion but also a method to release the stress inside you, after all, you don't need to hide your true emotion around me."
Gongniu Jinde quickly turns around, he doesn't want his friend to see him crying, he had been working hard to keep their sect afloat, during the early years as a sect master, he had made a couple of blunders.
His martial uncle was too busy and both of them were newbies, they don't have knowledge regarding on how to act as a true sect master, if if weren't for the connection that the Beast Buddha Sect has, it wouldn't exist to this day.
But he had work hard and finally was able to make the sect that his master had sacrificed his life to protect prosper, even though he had to lie to himself every single day, he doesn't regret it.
Shadowslash knew that his friend was shedding tears right now, he just stood there silently, after Gongniu Jinde calms down, he finally brought everyone to the fighting arena, there they saw many sect members sparring.
Immediately someone caught Shadowslash's eyes, he saw a tiger beastman with white fur and black stripes, his movement was heavy and laced with killing intent, his movement was incredibly precise.
He quickly asks Gongniu Jinde "That kid doing the basic tiger killing art, his movement is quite good, his killing intent was also well developed and it doesn't exude any chaotic killing intent, he is definitely a member of the White Tiger Clan, isn't he?"
Gongniu Jinde nodded, he look at the child who was vigorously training, he sighed and said "The White Tiger Clan have decided to let this child live in this sect, no, it is more of a request actually."
Shadowslash smiles and said "You aren't talking formally right now, it seems that my words earlier have some effect, don't worry, I use my spiritual sense to cover the both of us, nobody will hear what we are talking."
Gongniu Jinde felt incredibly grateful, his friend have help him greatly throughout the years, not once did he manage to repay him, this had become a guilty conscience for him, but he is unable to do anything to ease off this guilt.
Feng Shin looks at the white tiger sect disciple, his battle intent abruptly exploded, he doesn't care about the war or tension against the tiger and lion clan, he was raised by Shadowslash to look all races in equal.
If the person came from a great race but actually useless, he would look down on him, but if the person is useful, he would look favorably towards that person, the reason why his battle will was ignited because of the identity of the white tiger sect disciple.
The sect disciple has a title and was look highly by many powerhouse of this continent, he had always wanted to fight him, but he hadn't had a chance, Shadowslash noticed this and said "Feng Shin, it's your little sister turn, remember?"
Feng Shin immediately felt lifeless when he heard this, he could only sat there with a depressed expression, Gongniu Jinde on the other hand looks at the two little girls with interest.
Judging from what his friend have said, one of the two girls would be challenging his sect disciple, he couldn't wait to see what is the result, he opens his mouth and shouted "Beast Buddha Sect members, gather at the training area right now!"
Everyone in the sect quickly gathers, they then saw their sect master standing besides a familiar looking individual, quickly, there were many individuals that realised the identity of the person standing closely besides their sect master.
They started trembling in excitement, the first person to react was actually the white tiger beastman "I greet the savior of this world, the individual who is the epitome of strength, the graceful and merciful, Great Lord Shadowslash."
One by one, the sect members started kneeling, Shadowslash was already used to it but his eyes quickly widens when he saw his friend bowing to him, just as he was about to stop him, a spiritual message was given to him.
Understanding his attention, he smile and let out a puff of breath, Gongniu Jinde then started speaking "Everyone, as all of you know, the person standing besides me is none other than the savior of the world himself, he is here to see how strong you are!"
The sect disciples instantly became excited, Shadowslash's eyebrow couldn't help but twitch, he knew that his old friend have use this tactic to boost the morale and fighting spirit of his sect disciples.
He decided to say something "As all of you know, I accepted three children when I arrived at this place, I was blessed by this opportunity."
"my eldest, Feng Shin, he manage to defeat the Earthquake Lord of Divine Heaven Sect, My lovely daughter, Mei², she had defeated the Blazing Rose Empress of the Houlong Clan!"
He then calls Yan² to step forward, she bravely walks towards him with her hand on her swords, he continue on his announcement "My charming daughter, Yan² wants to challenge one of you to a fair battle, please show me the greatness of your sect!"
The older disciples became depressed, they wanted to show off too but their opponent was a young little girl, they don't want to be seen as shameless in front of their idol, not to mention, their sect isn't some kind of evil sect.
Gongniu Jinde then raise his hand and a giant Buddha manifested behind him, the Buddha has numerous hands but a beast head, it was riding some kind of beast that changes into different form.
Using his mastery over his Qi, he controls the golden hand of the Buddha and picked up twelve children, they then brought in front of Yan², the twelve children were nervous but they wanted to show their worth and strength in front of the hero that their parents and friends always talks about.
Yan² was unfazed being watched by numerous individuals, for her, as long as her father was besides her, she had endless confidence, she looks at the twelve sect disciples that had the same age as her.
She draws her sword and release her sword intent, she pointed the sword at them and asks "Whom is the strongest individual between you guys, I will only accept to those that has title given by this continent, just like me."
One individual took a step forward, even though he is the same age as her, he is as tall as Feng Shin, his build was also much more buffer, he is smiling casually, he puts his hand together and bows "Amithaba, I am the fourth direct disciple of the great monk Gongniu Jinde, I don't have a name as a war orphan, but I do have a title, Smiling Buddha."
Yan² nodded, she then said "Your aura is intimidating, you have a great build and your sect martial art techniques would work against my fighting style, but I will still defeat you."
