30 days had passed since Chansu entered the Hall Of The Ancient Elders. When he finally came out, his power had grown significantly. He had reached the pinnacle of the 5th Luhan Layer. He walked to his family's house. Raiki was waiting for him. "How do you feel?" "Like a new person. I'v'e reached the Pinnacle of the 5th Luhan Layer, I can feel power coursing through my veins." "That's good. Your teacher left the day you entered the Hall of the Elders. He said he'll be waiting in Shimoda. That's where the Head school of the Shark Arts is." "I see. Makes sense for it to be in a beach town. Well then." He took off the patriarch ring. "What are you doing?" "While I have proven worthy of being the next patriarch i am still very young and inexperienced and lack the necessary wisdom. And I cant be the patriarch in my absence, The patriarch must protect and lead the village and handle political affairs. I cant do any of that as I'll be training and cultivating at my school. Therefore I'm giving the position back to the rightful Owner until the time that Iv'e grown enough to hold this position." Chansu bowed. "My son, you are already plenty wise in your own ways." Raiki thought to himself as the accepted the ring back. Chansu began to pack his things. He had discovered in the Hall of the Ancient Elders various books on cultivation apparently written by Past Patriarchs that broke through the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Zhang Realms. As well as techniques of various spirit animals. He wouldn't be able to use them, so he figured he'd give them out to his fellow clan members. The power of the clan should layered members greatly increase, and at least push a few people to the 5th Luhan Layer, and the already high even higher. Raiki was already a 10th Luhan Layer, and the Grand elder was at pinnacle the 3rd Zhang Realm soon to breakthrough to the 4th Zhang Realm. The upcoming war was to be a fierce one, and all of japan would be involved this time. Later that night after Chansu was finished packing the clan gathered to see him off, and wish him best of luck. The grand elder spoke to him. "Chansu The day has finally come for you to set off, just as each of us before you have. But this time you are different than all of us. You have a purpose, a Goal, A reason to go out and get stronger, beyond the use of regular competition. You will be a hero and make us all proud as you lead us to battle and to victory." Raiki Spoke next. "My son, you leave here today not as a boy anymore, but as a man. If you are ever in need of help, don't hesitate to send for help. We will be there. Stay humble, wise, know humility and persevere." "I will father." Chansu bowed turned around and walked on, as he waved back to everyone. He was accompanied by the Clan's Jade Goshawk. A 3rd Zhang Realm bird Demon Spirit Beast as green as Jade that has lived on and reincarnated within the clan since it's creation serving as the right hand of the clan Patriarch. Chansu took out a map of japan that Azusa drew for him. Without even reaching the school his was to begin. From Tokyo he had to pass through "Zaishi's ravine". An area filled with bandits and thieves just waiting to attack travelers. From there he must go through the fields of Izai. filled with Demon Spirit Beasts easily 6th Luhan Layer and a few 7th Layers. He must collect two 6th Luhan Layer Demon Beasts Cores and one 7th Luhan Layer Demon Beast Core. Then he's to rest in Kanagawa, where he'll meet a 10th Luhan Layer Shark arts master who'll test him. Only after passing that test will he be allowed to continue to the school, boarding the train in Kanagawa for the remainder of he trip. "Well, Patriarch bird I have my work cut out for me. Better get to that." He walked on.
