1180 Elder Apportionment Token
Elder Dewey looked at George with a hint of pride and hidden disbelief as he still couldn't believe what he had witnessed in the past month. Elder Homer had already left five days ago to report back to the sect about John's death investigation and not to alert others about George yet.
Ace also had to admit that this old man was a great teacher. He taught him about forging without holding back and with such a passion that even he was moved.
He couldn't help but compare Elder Dewey with his other teacher, the Divine Eye Hunter, Death Striker Conner. He left with Principle Zack after they found they were in higher heaven to find their own opportunity and rejected joining their disciples; their pride simply won't allow them to mooch on their students.
Ace and Eva could only agree to their wishes, and after he provided them with everything he could, they parted ways with a promise to meet again if fate allowed it. Anyhow, forging was Elder Dewey's pride and joy, and he never messed around when it came to forging. So, he also didn't hold back and learned everything from the old man, and now his foundation of forging was probably only slightly inferior to his Rune Crafting.
Furthermore, Ace still hadn't shown his entire capabilities by using his own heavenly spirit Qi because he knew if he used primordial Qi in forging, the result should be as astounding as Heavenly Rune Crafting.
Moreover, after learning these facts, he had a strange proposition: He should use his own weapons forged with his Heavenly Spirit Qi for Universal Ascension Black Physique, and it was the correct path.
Nonetheless, Ace knew that with his current power, he couldn't help Elder Dewey even if he wanted to, so he decided to force his cultivation for now. The first step was to join the AIG Sect.
Elder Dewey quickly snapped out of his peculiar mind state and changed the subject, "Anyway, now that you are ready, it's about time I leave. I don't think this test will be a problem for you anymore. Just don't surprise them too much."
Elder Dewey chuckled playfully before he flipped his hand. A golden token with the AIG sect's symbol appeared in his hand. It had runes engraved on it and a single word written on it: 'Apportionment.'
He handed the token to George before he said, "This is an Elder Apportionment Token of Outer Sect Court. We outer-court elders only get three of them upon our Elder Anointment, and only after raising to the rank of an Inner Sect Elder can we get ten more.
"Anyway, this Elder Apportionment Token will allow you to take the Entrance Test for an Outer Forger Disciple anytime you want without question. Heh, and for free at that; you should know the sect charges a limb for the entrance test. I still remember how I gathered the funds for the entrance test like it was yesterday..." A nostalgic smile appeared on Elder Dewey's face.
Ace looked towards the token before he solemnly nodded to the old man, "I won't waste it."
"Heh, I know you won't." Elder Dewey chuckled as he was completely confidence, "Now, I better take my leave, remember my instruction, and leave your little friends here; I've already instructed Lloyd, so you can retrieve them once you enter the sect and leave for a mission. I'll wait for you in the sect!"
