Awakening of the Mind Sovereign-Chapter 11: only 40%?!

After Prince Trus fell out of the arena, silence lingered for a few moments before the crowd erupted into cheers and shouts.

Amidst the uproar, a group of medics rushed to the prince to treat him. His body was covered in bruises, and his expression reflected intense pain, yet he remained conscious.

Moments later, a towering man clad in a blue robe adorned with golden patterns arrived. His long silver hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his cold eyes radiated authority.

This was Li Fang, the father of Prince Trus and the head of the prestigious Li family.

He looked at his son for a moment, then lifted his gaze directly toward Kiber.

"You are truly brave... and strong as well."

Everyone stood in anticipation—this man was one of the most powerful figures in the city, and his words were never mere pleasantries.

Then, in a calm yet commanding voice, he continued:

"How about joining our sect?"

Whispers spread among the audience.

"This is an offer no one can refuse!"

"If Kiber joins the Li family, he will surely become one of the strongest figures in the future!"

But Kiber showed no hesitation. He simply sighed, then smiled as he replied:

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that right now."

Silence fell for a brief moment before Li Fang let out a low chuckle and said:

"You refused, huh? Very well... but remember, the Li family never makes an offer twice."

Kiber said nothing. Instead, he gave a slight respectful bow, casually took the ring, and turned to leave.

Yet, he didn't go far.

Instead, he made his way to the stands, where Elliot had been silently watching everything unfold.

Standing before him, Kiber lifted the ring, examined it for a moment, then smiled and said:

"What do you think of my strength, my friend?"

Elliot remained seated, still processing what he had just witnessed in the arena. The way Kiber had defeated Prince Trus was so swift that his eyes couldn't even track his movements.

He looked up at Kiber, who stood before him with a faint smile, casually playing with the ring between his fingers.

"What do you think of my strength, my friend?"

Elliot took a deep breath before responding honestly:

"You're a real monster... I still can't believe what I just saw. How did you do that?"

Kiber chuckled, then sat beside him and replied in a calm tone:

"I only used 40% of my strength."

Elliot's eyes widened before he shook his head in disbelief.

"That's insane... only 40%?! That means your true strength is unimaginable."

But Kiber looked at him seriously for a moment before saying:

"Even so, I think you're stronger than me."

Elliot froze in place.

"What?! How can you say that? You saw it yourself—I couldn't even last against you in the arena!"

Kiber smiled as he glanced at his hand before saying:

"I don't know... it's just a feeling. I sense something inside you—something more powerful than anything I've ever seen."

Elliot didn't know how to respond. He felt that Kiber wasn't speaking without reason, yet he couldn't understand why he would say such a thing.

Then, he looked at Kiber and curiously asked:

"How old are you, Kiber?"

Kiber smirked mischievously before replying:

"Why do you ask? Do you want to know if I'm young or old?"

Elliot chuckled and said:

"Something like that. You don't look old, but your strength makes you seem like someone who has lived through decades of battle."

Kiber sighed slightly before speaking in a mysterious tone:

"Well, my age is..."

Kiber looked at Elliot with a calm smile and said:

"I'm 25 years old."

Elliot raised an eyebrow in surprise—Kiber looked slightly younger than that, but he didn't comment, simply nodding instead.

Suddenly, he heard a voice inside his head... but it wasn't his own. It was Kiber's voice!

(I want to establish my own sect... to be its leader, not a mere follower in someone else's sect.)

Elliot's eyes widened momentarily, but he feigned composure, looking at Kiber, who seemed unaware that his thoughts had been heard.

Elliot smiled

"How about ? What if the two of us became leaders of a sect together?"

Kiber stared at him in silence, as if processing his words, then smiled and said:

"I like that idea!"

After announcing the establishment of their sect, Elliot and Kiper began sorting through the disciples who wished to join them. The number was shocking... 120 disciples!

Elliot looked at Kiper and laughed:"I didn't expect there to be this many."

Kiper replied with a smile:"That's because we are strong, and people want to follow the strong."

After a long day of negotiations and tests, Elliot and Kiper led their new disciples up the mountain path toward the sect's location. Everyone was excited to see the place that would become their new home... but when they arrived, everyone was shocked.

The sect was completely in ruins.

The walls had collapsed, the buildings were destroyed—nothing remained but rubble. Silence filled the air for a few moments before Kiper turned to Elliot and said coldly:"Why didn't you tell me the sect was in this state?"

Elliot smirked slightly and said:"Would you have joined if I had?"

Kiper chuckled quietly and said:"Probably not."

But the disciples were not as amused, and some began whispering among themselves. No one wanted to join a sect without even a roof over their heads!

Yet Elliot remained unfazed and declared confidently:"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. We will rebuild this sect!"

Since there was no place to sleep, everyone—including Kiper and Elliot—had to spend the night on the rubble.

The next morning, Kiper woke up early, looked around, and said:"This won't do... we need to fix this place immediately."

Without hesitation, he began hiring dozens of workers, bringing in tools, and initiating the restoration work.

The sect's reconstruction progressed smoothly. The workers labored tirelessly, the disciples helped, and everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. Kiper oversaw the progress while Elliot stood on a hilltop, observing.

But suddenly... the ground trembled violently!

One of the disciples shouted, "An earthquake?!"

But it wasn't an earthquake... it was something far worse.

BOOOOM!!!
