Patrick

"Great job! What did I tell you!? Good!" Patrick spoke with ecstasy.

"It's all thanks to you!" Lester responded with a laugh as he couldn't stop himself from smiling wide.

"Lester." Patrick's tone became serious, as he got Lester's attention.

"We need to become stronger. For all of our friends we have lost, we need to become stronger for them!" Patrick's serious tone entered Lester's ear who agreed with Patrick's statement.

This was true. Back then all of their friends dreamed of becoming cultivators together and taking the world by storm. They had the biggest motivation in the world, however, as one by one they disappeared, the motivation quickly died. However, now that they were actually considered cultivators, they could do what their group dreamed of!

Patrick has been learning martial arts to aid him in combat. If a cultivator was the same level as you, your techniques and fighting styles were what decided the outcome, and as he did not possess a cultivation technique he wanted to make it up for it by learning mixed martial arts.

As Lester created his core for almost two months, Patrick slightly learned the basics of mixed martial arts and was currently trying to master the basics. Martial arts wasn't something anyone could just pick up and do. It took time and he was still trying to learn the basics of it all.

"As we are cultivators now, is there any news in the cultivation world?" Lester said with pride as he could finally call himself a cultivator. He was living a dream.

Patrick thinks for a second and answers, " I haven't been paying much attention because I've been learning martial arts, however, the biggest news thus far has been the Water Prince. That guy killed a panda-like beast which was tearing up villages in China. It had killed thirteen foundation cultivators and weaker beginning Level Cultivators. The Water Prince came in and killed it with one move!"

"Wow! He is just on a whole new level isn't he?!" Lester was in awe.

"Man, that guy truly deserves the title of strongest on Earth. I'll send you the video of the battle as well" Patrick agreed.

"Thanks!" Lester showed his gratitude.

Patrick could be considered his closest friend thus far. He was never able to make any friends as he traveled around the world so much, therefore, when he finally settled down and began to use the internet these people were his only friends. He was extremely grateful for Patrick for not only being his friend but also but being there when he needed him, especially in cultivation. He was like a brother to him.

"Oh and Lester, I told you about sharing the next steps in my cultivation and learning martial arts wasn't the only eventful thing to happen to me. Those from the American Cultivation Association came to my home and tried to recruit me… They said that at any time I want to join them I will receive one of the three cultivation books that the Americans created…" Patrick spoke to Lester.

Lester was taken back, he was surprised that the Americans were that quick to find out that Patrick created a core. Countries were truly trying to become strong by the second. Lester knew these three cultivation techniques pretty well, in fact, the whole world knew it. These three cultivation techniques were referred to [The Three Godbeast Arts]. These three cultivation techniques were, [Blue Swordfish Art]. [World Breaking Bison Art], and [Four Winged Eagle Art].

The reason why these cultivation books were so famous was that not only were the complete cultivation books but these cultivation books never came from the aliens and in fact, the Americans created them themselves.

The day that these cultivation books came into being was the day that Americans call, Calamity day. After the cargo ship crashed on Earth, the Americans got their hands on some cultivation books, however, nothing was close to the amount that China left with, therefore, they began to look for ways to have more cultivation resources. Taking some of the cultivation books they returned with, they gathered many intelligent people from around the country to analyze it and come with over a thousand cultivation book prototypes. Over a thousand people volunteered to try them and much to their luck, three actually worked. Thousands of people died with the failed cultivation books and many became crippled. Creating a cultivation book was extremely difficult, especially as they didn't have the Enlightenment of the aliens.

These three cultivation books weren't perfect though, as they did not possess the knowledge of the aliens, therefore, based on the American government's words, it would at most help them become Middle-Level Cultivators. Lester knew there had to be some secrets as no one would reveal these things like that. Although it wasn't as insightful as the alien cultivation techniques it was still a cultivation technique that could guide them towards power. They used these three cultivation books to lure in many cultivators. Most of these cultivators were Americans and other North Americans as they were extremely proud of it.

The American Cultivation Association or ACA for short is an organization which just like the Cultivation Squad in China, swore loyalty to America. When you swear loyalty, you are unable to tell anyone else of anything regarding the ACA. Making it the most mysterious organization in the world.

In fact, the three people who succeeded in cultivating these three cultivation techniques were in the top 10 of strongest cultivators in the world as they were almost Middle-Level Cultivators. However, these three cultivators were restrained by the Americans and barely had much free will, which was what could happen if Patrick chose to join the ACA.

Lester looks towards the cabinet once more which wasn't too far from him and he tells Patrick, " Don't worry Patrick, I have a little surprise for you!"

Patrick was uneasy but also hopeful. If it were anyone else he would definitely not have waited this long, "Fine! Hehe, it better be good!"

Lester spoke whilst looking at the cabinet, "Oh, yes it is."
