I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

looking around Dante saw a scene of pure carnage, the ground had been ripped apart with terrifying gashes running across the floor making it look like a modern-day battlefield.

Seeing this mess Dante felt an oncoming headache.

'Fuck, how the hell am I gonna explain this?' 'I really fucked up big time with this one damn.'

Seeing as there was no viable solution Dante simply chose to ignore it as the saying goes, 'See no evil, hear no evil' and pretending to know nothing was definitely the best choice right now.

Returning to his room as nothing had just happened Dante chose a spot underneath moonlight rays and started cultivating the Moon king Sutra again.

Soon Dante could feel the familiar cool sensation again coursing through his body but strangely Dante found he could attract the moonlight energy much faster than usual this time compared to the last time he cultivated. opening his eyes Dante looked around for any strange changes in surroundings, instantly he discovered that particles of moonlight energy were concentrated around his new sword seemingly attracted to it like a magnet.

Dante really scored big this time! it seemed that the sword also had an additional ability to attract moonlight energy towards itself and in the process. this was amazing as usually treasures that can speed up cultivation were rare and only owned by big sects it was almost impossible to find any in cities like bright steel city.

feeling much better about himself for choosing the sword Dante went back to cultivation. this process continued until late into the night

.....

The next day Dante woke up feeling refreshed and awake especially since he managed to break through to the second layer of the Martial Novice realm thanks to the new sword.

After freshening up Decided to start his next stage of the plan to steal the Scarlett Flame Rose. That was to recruit some allies, see Dante knew he wasn't a match for a team of mercenaries alone it was simply impossible for him to level up to be that strong in the 2 days left before it bloomed. so Dante chose the next best thing, To hire some assistance. Dante knew his position as the son of the first Elder came with some perks and he was definitely planning on using it. Why struggle when you can just hire someone else to do the hard work for you? This was the true power of the son of the First Elder, a perfect template for creating a top tier arrogant young master.

After freshening up Dante headed to the Task hall, This was a place where all the clan tasks were placed from cleaning to tasks to patrol tasks all clansmen whether servants or noble children come here to receive tasks to do.

entering the task hall Dante went up to the lady at the counter.

"Hello I'd like to prepare a task under the name of the first elder for the 7th layer of the Martial novice realm and above for around 3 members," said Dante to the lady at the desk

"That will be fine, but do you have any proof that this was set up by the first elder"

In response, Dante handed over the token he got from his father

"This is the token of token of the first elder but I can't give put up a mission without seeing the first elder in person I just can't post a task on such short notice.."

"Thud!"

Before she could finish Dante put a bag of gold coins on the table pushing it towards her

"Please, do me a favour just this once"

As he spoke Dante let out an enchanting smile causing the receptionist to blush a bright red.

"Well seeing as you have an identity token I can make an exception for you just this once," said the receptionist tucking away the bag of gold

Seeing his task had successfully been posted Dante went away to sit down.

Since it was such a rewarding task Dante expected to get lots of people signing up quickly but even thirty minutes later no one had taken up the task he published. puzzled Dante walked up to a scrawny youth who was staring at handyman tasks.

"Hello, I'm just asking a question"

"go ahead" replied the boy

"Why are there no clan disciples over the 7th layer around to accept any tasks ?"

"don't you know" replied the youth giving him a strange look "the annual inter-clan tournament is happening soon so most disciples are in seclusion trying to breakthrough in their cultivation"

'Damn how could I forget' thought Dante.

In Bright Steel city because of the spirit steel veins even after three clans of Bright Steel city came out on top there was still fierce fighting between the three families leading to a bloody cruel slaughter of each clan's weaker members.

Seeing that if this continued that the three families would destroy each other they reached a conclusion that there would be a tournament every three years between the younger generation to decide the distribution of resources and to avoid a complete massacre and the decline of each family.

'damn, if there are no Martial Novice realm cultivators above 7th layer my plan is going to have to change .'

seeing as his plan was a failure Dante quickly came up with a new plan.

A Fast Lethal strike!
