Ninth Saint

"Call me Sage Yuan" He said calmly.

But inwardly he was astonished. As someone who had read through history books in the library, the Eight Great Human Saints was not a strange term to him. These Great Human Saints were the strongest Tier 5 Human Saints in the whole realm. They were the race leaders of the Human Saint. The First Saint was even said to rival apex powerhouses like the Dragon Saint in terms of power.

"Sage Yuan!" The fourth Saint muttered with a peculiar expression. "You're the Sword Mage?" Xuan Yuan nodded.

"No wonder!" They all shouted simultaneously. "I've long since heard of the Sword Mage, I didn't think I'd meet you in person!" The Eighth Saint said with excitement.

"It's my honor, my Lord" Xuan Yuan replied respectfully.

"Sage Yuan!!" The Second Saint called.

"My lord!" Xuan Yuan answered.

"We want you to join the Temple of Humanity and become an official member!" The Second Saint announced. The Saints knew what they were doing. With Xuan Yuan's abilities, it won't be strange if he gained recognizes of the Dragons and become a member of the Dragon race. If they let such an over talented person join the Dragon race, it was akin to planting the seeds for future troubles. It was better to seize the advantage earlier since Xuan Yuan was Human.

"If you join the Temple, you'll be conferred the Title of the Ninth Great Saint!" The First Saint said suddenly with his deep voice just when Xuan Yuan was hesitating.

The other Saints looked at the First Saint in shock but quickly nodded in acknowledgement. Although Xuan Yuan couldn't clash directly with a Tier 5 Saint, he still possessed power that rivalled that of Emperors. If they nurtured such a genius, he'd practically be a monster before he reached Tier 5. Conferring him the title of the Ninth Great Saint makes him a core member with deep attachments to the Temple. With this offer, even Xuan Yuan found it difficult to reject their goodwill after all there's no harm in becoming a member.

"It's my honor to become a member of the Temple!" Xuan Yuan said humbly as he accepted the offed to become a member of the Temple.

"Then from now on, you'll be the Ninth Great Saint of the Temple of Humanity. Your Conferral ceremony will be held three days later, you must be present" The First Saint said.

<You have become the Ninth Great Human Saint. Fame: +1000 Honor points: +1000. As the Ninth Great Saint, you'll be granted a Marquis status in any city belonging to the Human race>

"Congratulations Nine Saint... I mean Ninth Brother!" The Third Saint said.

"Thank you seniors!" Xuan Yuan replied humbly.

"But how can I return to this place?" Xuan Yuan asked.

"You can enter this place from the Holy Temple of Humanity in any city belonging to the human race" The First Saint said. "You should come here in three days for your ceremony!" The First Saint reminded.

"No problem" Xuan Yuan replied.

"Take this" The first Saint said and threw a Badge to Xuan Yuan. "This will proof your identity as the Ninth Saint"

Sure enough, when Xuan Yuan examined the Badge, Ninth Saint was inscribed beautifully on it.

"You have 3600 Humanity points, what do you want to exchange for?" The Sixth Saint asked.

"Hmmmm... Just save that for later" Xuan said as he waved his hands.

"OK then" The sixth Saint said.

The first Saint raised his hand and a teleportation gate appeared behind Xuan Yuan.

"I'll take my leave now Seniors" Xuan Yuan said.

"Good. See you in three days" The Saints said as Xuan Yuan walked and disappeared into the teleportation gate.

"First brother, you're the best!" The fifth Saint shouted once Xuan Yuan was gone. "Now I have limitless chances to learn the Shield type Mana technique!"

"And the Sword type Mana technique too!" The Seventh Saint added. If only Xuan Yuan knew that those despicable Saints were only after his Mana technique...

After disappearing from the core room, Xuan Yuan in the Main Hall of the Holy Temple. The instant he appeared, every NPC around him immediately bowed deeply and shouted "Lord Ninth Saint!!"

'Fuck! is this the meaning of respect?' Xuan Yuan was astonished. He portrayed a mysterious expression as he waved at the NPCs before speeding away from the Temple.

"Oh!! I'm so envious! So young and he already became the Ninth Saint. If I ever became the Ninth Saint, I'd die without regrets" One of the NPCs said once Xuan Yuan was far away.

"You should pee on the floor and look at yourself. You can never become the Ninth Saint!" Another NPC said sarcastically.

"I know! but you shouldn't have said it so mercilessly!" The former cried.

"What's merciless about speaking the truth??"...

Meanwhile in front of the Guild headquarters of Heaven will Guild in Jade Spear city. Four girls stood chained on the roof of the Headquarters. Their faces were pale as bruises and wounds covered their bodies. They must have endured a lot of beatings during the last 24 hours. Now there was only a few minutes left, if Xuan Yuan still didn't show up. They'd be publicly humiliated under the gazes of other players.

"I thought that Sword Mage was quite manly but he ended up being nothing more than a piece of trash" A female level 46 Cleric said with contempt. "I mean, how could he abandon the four girls here when he was the main cause of their problems?"

"That's what I wanted to know. I don't understand why the girls still believe he would come for them. Does that Sword Mage dare to fight the whole of Heaven will Guild just for a few girls?" An Assassin of a similar level added...
