"Now that you are in the first phase of the foundation establishment stage, why don’t we test your strength" Emperor Chen suddenly said with a light smile on his face.
"And how are we going to do that Emperor?" Hutton asked with a curious look on his face while having an excited feeling within him.
"By fighting him" Emperor Chen said with an expectant smile on his face while he flicked two of his fingers at his right hand.
In the next moment, a portal that is up to 6 feet suddenly appeared in front of both Hutton and Emperor Chen.
’Wait... Isn’t that Viktor Sledgehammer that came with the Feng family?’ Hutton thought with a surprised look on his face as he saw what was going on at the other side of the portal.
Apparently, what is going on at the other side of the portal is a gladiator match where everyone at center of a coliseum is going against a man who Hutton referred to as Viktor Sledgehammer.
’Will this gladiator match ever end?’ While Hutton is observing the match, Viktor thought with a worried look on his face.
Right now is making it the fifth time Viktor is fighting in a gladiator match where everyone in it is going against him alone. And each match must take up to an hour so one can just imagine how taxing it will be on him at this moment.
Currently, his body is soaked in both his blood and other people’s blood as he keeps on dropping bodies with his inhumane strength and speed.
"This will be the person you will be testing your strength on" While Viktor is having the fight of his life, Emperor Chen told Hutton with a calm smile on his face.
"Wait, you are telling me that I will have a fight against Viktor Sledgehammer alone? In case you don’t know, but he is probably sent by the Feng family to kill me" Hutton said with a confused look on his face.
Just with the little show of strength Viktor displayed against Ling Jun at the event match, Hutton is certain he is not his match in any way wether speed or strength.
"You don’t have to worry about that. I am here so nothing grave will happen to you" Emperor Chen replied with a light chuckle.
"But something bad can still happen to me?" Hutton asked with a bitter smile on his face.
"Well the only thing bad that can happen to you is you loosing" Emperor Chen said as he flicked his fingers again. In the next moment, the portal suddenly vanished but Viktor saw himself in the same room as Hutton while Emperor Chen suddenly vanished.
"I will be supervising the match from the shadows" Hutton suddenly heard a voice that belongs to Emperor Chen in his ears.
’This man can’t be serious?’ Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face. As for Viktor, he immediately became confused as to why and how he got into this room.
’Wait, brown hair and brown eyes, that must be Hutton’ But as soon as Viktor eyes landed on Hutton, he suddenly paused as he had that thought.
"Am guessing you must be the person the Feng family sent to possibly capture me right?" Hutton asked with a serious look on his face.
"Right on point. Now come over here" Viktor who is soaked on blood said with a cold smile on his face as he suddenly disappeared.
"Try and use the qi at your surroundings to fight him" Emperor Chen’s voice sounded in Hutton’s ear again the instant Viktor vanished from sight.
’Ok, I just have to use the qi in the surroundings to fight’ Hutton thought as he suddenly have a solemn look on his face.
And so, In the silent confines of the empty room, Hutton stood alone, his senses heightened as he awaited the inevitable clash with Viktor Sledgehammer. The air crackled with anticipation as Viktor’s thunderous footsteps echoed closer, his immense presence felt even before he burst into view.
With a lightning speed reaction, Viktor charged forward at a speed too swift for the naked eye to follow, his massive form a blur of motion. Hutton braced himself, heart pounding with a mix of fear and determination.
Drawing upon the teachings of Emperor Chen, Hutton closed his eyes, focusing on the invisible currents of qi that surrounded him. In the stillness of the room, he reached out with his mind and embraced the energy, allowing it to flow through him like a rushing river.

As Viktor hurtled toward him, Hutton’s senses sharpened, his perception of time slowing to a crawl. With a burst of concentration, he channeled the qi into his body, feeling it surge through his veins like a tidal wave.
In one fluid motion, Hutton opened his eyes, his movements guided by the harmonious dance of qi. With supernatural speed and precision, he unleashed a single, devastating strike.
The impact was like a thunderclap, a shockwave rippling through the room as Viktor’s unstoppable charge came to an abrupt halt. He stumbled, his momentum shattered, before collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud, unconscious.
As the echoes of the clash faded away, Hutton stood amidst the stillness, his chest heaving with exertion and triumph. He had harnessed the power of qi for the first time, proving that even the swiftest and strongest adversaries could be overcome with the strength of inner harmony.
’What did I just do?’ Hutton asked himself with a blank look on his face as he stared at Viktor who is unconscious on the floor.
"Congratulations, you are now an authentic cultivator" Just then, Emperor Chen appeared right next to Hutton as he said with a light smile on his face.
"Thank you for making me one Emperor" Hutton said with a grateful look on his face.
"Like I said earlier, you don’t have to mention it. I choosed you for this mission so I just have to help you" Emperor Chen replied with a light smile on his face.
"Ok Emperor" Hutton said with a relieved smile on his face before he continued "Now that I am now an authentic cultivator, what kind of mission do you have in store for me exactly?"
"Well it’s quite simple to say the least, all you have to do is to find out the outer members of ’The Harbingers’ that is in the mortal world and kill them" Emperor Chen said with a serious look now on his face.
"O...k, do you have any clues for me in which I can start from?" Hutton asked with a curious look on his face.
"Well one of them isn’t far from you. He is the person who is leading the Feng family in this event you came to this ancient pagoda for" Emperor Chen said with the same serious look on his face.
"Do you mean Feng Po?" Hutton asked with a surprised look now on his face.
"Well if that is what his name is, then yes. He is an outer member of the organization and I want you to kill him. But be discreet when doing it so as not for the top brass people in the organization to notice" Emperor Chen said with a stern look on his face.
"Ok Emperor, I will do as you said" Hutton said with a determined look now on his face.
"Good, now you can go back to your room" Emperor Chen said as he suddenly flicked his fingers. As soon as he did that, the empty room Hutton is in suddenly changed into the bedroom he got when he first arrived at the second floor of the ancient pagoda.
’How...?’ Hutton thought with a blank look on his face as he looked all around to understand how and when he got back into his room.
Knock! Knock!!
But before he could understand how he got back into his room, a knock suddenly came into his room from the door which immediately brought him back to his senses.
’Seems like I will just have to forget about it’s Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face as he approached the door. Once he did, he immediately opened it as he said.
"How can I help you?"
"Hutton Maxwell, the Grand elder wouod like you to meet him in his room" the person Hutton saw right in front of his room is Ling Po Jun as he said with a cold look on his face.
"The Grand elder?" Hutton immediately asked with a confused look on his face. But Ling Po Jun expression didn’t change as he said.
"Yes, follow me as I take you to him"
Right before Hutton could speak again, Ling Po Jun have already turned as he began to walk towards the Grand elder’s room.
When Hutton saw this, he initially frowned before he decided to follow Ling Po Jun as he thought.
’Now that I am a cultivator, let’s see just how strong the Grand elder is’.
