Chapter 1283: The Lion Lineage’s Aurex
When was the last time a True Disciple had been taken in? No, when was the last time an in-name disciple had even been named?
In recent generations, it felt like it was happening less and less. But this tended to happen when you closed in on the end of a cycle.
Warlords weren’t named and elevated one by one. Instead, according to Sanctum concepts, all Warlord Lineage Heads were promoted to the Sanctum at the same time. Meanwhile, their replacements were named as well.
That was to say that they were approaching the 714th Cycle now, and because of that, the Lineage Heads had already mostly had their fill of accepting new disciples.
The only one who didn’t seem to listen to this much was Gralith, who had accepted a truly outstanding disciple not long ago. She was a true monster on the verge of entering the D-tier as they spoke. When she was an F-tier, she had been top 10 on the strength leaderboards across the Sector, and top 5 in Rune Masters.
However, Gralith had never tended to do things by normal measures. Though he was still taking in disciples even now, he actually had the fewest disciples of all the Lineage Heads—just three. It was his timing that was odd, not how frequently he took them in.
It could be said that Gralith was the only one to take in a disciple in the last several decades. The fact that another was doing the same really perked several ears up.
There was no way a Lineage Head would take in a normal disciple at a time like this. Whoever it was had to be exceptional. And the fact that it was Thorak who came to get them personally... well, that was even more of a sign.
Who didn’t know how arrogant Thorak was?
"Ah, yes, right away. I can get you the information you want, I just need to know which outer ring world your junior came from."
"Planet Vortan."
Thorak’s gruff voice responded, crackling like lingering thunder after a cacophonous boom. The administrator got right to it before his face became weird.
