The problem that Laxmi desperately hoped for was to achieve the luck he needed to reach the position of a tailor grandmaster. On the other hand, the master-ranked shipbuilder, Wakidi, has the chance to become a grandmaster through the Majapahit Dynasty Technical Shipbuilding Manual. Things need to be resolved now, as Wiro has levelled up.
When the Maharani entered Mount Bukit Raya, they suddenly lost contact with him. To date, he has not returned. Therefore, Heru Cokro had to find a solution to the problem of this sect.
On a cloudy afternoon, Wiro arrived as expected. After reaching the grandmaster level, his aura underwent a significant change. Although he was still able to control his aura and energy, he was now able to do so more freely and in control, giving him a more stable appearance.
When they met, there was no longer a need for formalities.
"Master, the disciples of the Eight Fists Padepokan Wiro Sableng are ready. They are ready to go up to the mountain at any time" Wiro said firmly.
Heru Cokro nodded, "There is no need to close the Padepokan in this region. You can manage the good disciples to run it. This can be the outer building of the Sachi Sword Sect."
With the positive effects of a degree, this is a good time to recruit new students. The Sachi Sword Sect was located far away, and was not a place capable of accommodating many disciples at once.
Wiro smiled, "I agree to your plan."
Given his strong involvement in Wiro Sableng's Eight-Fist Padepokan, he is very happy if there is no need to close it.
Heru Cokro then offers to accompany Wiro on the ascent to the mountain tomorrow. Wiro accepted the offer, given that joining a sect was a big step for someone from the underworld. The presence of his master would provide additional support.
They set up their plans and parted with optimistic feelings.
April 8, in the Java region of Dwipa.
Heru Cokro brought four bodyguards to lead the five hundred disciples of the Eight Fists Padepokan Wiro Sableng towards the Sachi Sword Sect. With the Empress absent, Zubair Maimun and Wulandari led the sect in their daily lives and awaited the arrival of the entourage.
After being separated for half a year, Zubair Maimun had grown into a handsome teenager full of energy. According to Maharani's words, he has great potential and his understanding is very high. He had mastered the Songo Yoni Cultivation Method and the Samudramanthana Sword Technique.
In the outside world, he would be considered an outstanding teenager. However, there was a noticeable change in his attitude. Although he used to be open and well socialized, he now had a darker and terrifying aura, probably the result of training Songo Yoni's Cultivation Method. Moreover, he had an excellent reputation in the sect and was considered extremely strict towards his fellow disciples, which made them fear him.
Fortunately, he was very focused on cultivating and spent most of his time practicing. He rarely hung out with the other students.
On the other hand, Wulandari, as an elder sister, had a more gentle personality towards the disciples. Therefore, none of them showed any disrespect towards him. Instead, they often respected him sincerely.
When a man uses Songo Yoni's Cultivation Method, his aura and appearance may tend to become more serious and dark. However, when a woman mastered it, her charm would grow along with the increase in her strength. Wulandari herself was naturally beautiful, and it was no wonder that her charms were increasingly alluring to the male disciples.
When the party arrived, Zubair Maimun led all the disciples to their knees, while Wulandari gave a polite greeting, "Greetings, sir."
Heru Cokro nodded in appreciation, then walked beside Zubair Maimun. He gently patted the young man's shoulder with a smile, "Good work!"
The praise from the master gave a warm feeling in Zubair Maimun's heart. Their relationship with Heru Cokro is very diverse; she is their benefactor, her brother, and also their link to the outside world. Getting praise from the master was a great pride for him.
Unfortunately, ever since he mastered Songo Yoni's cultivation technique, his smile seemed to have disappeared. His expression became stiff and tense. Even when he tried to smile, it looked more like a frown than a smile.
Heru Cokro listened without comment. Every successful individual usually has to invest a lot to reach his current level. Zubair Maimun is a good example. The two of them started their journey as disciples together, and their potential was also quite good. However, Zubair Maimun's skill had passed far in front of him. Why did that happen?
The environment in the sect, the respect for the elder sister's position, and the natural attraction she had—all these factors had made her forget her roots as a disciple. Worse, he even began to consider himself taller than Zubair Maimun. He even underestimated the training method that Zubair Maimun was working on. The difference between them had brought him on a complicated level of emotion.
Wulandari herself also felt a complicated feeling towards her master. He always thanked and respected her, even praised her achievements. But everything changed one morning.
The master wants to impose new rules on their plantations. He seemed to be unconcerned about the relationship status of his master and servant and even expelled him. If not for the intercession of Zahra and the others, Wulandari might never have been given the opportunity to become a disciple of the Maharani.
Just then, the seeds of hatred began to grow in Wulandari's heart. Although time has passed, they remain and are not easily erased.
Half a year had passed, and Wulandari felt so complicated when she saw her master again. He has changed since their first meeting half a year ago. The man in front of her was getting more charming and powerful. His every move and action showed strength and prestige.
However, in his master's eyes, Wulandari was only one of the many beautiful girls he had met. In Heru Cokro's view, Wulandari was just like a green apple tucked among the many exotic fruits he had ever seen.
He only gave a faint smile, not spending much time with her.
The moment Wulandari realized that her master had paid little attention to her, her heart immediately felt cold, and her smile disappeared from her face.
"Come, go to the main hall!" bring Wiro.
"Well," said Zubair Maimun as he led the way towards the main hall.
After half a year of building efforts, the Sachi Sword Sect had grown into a majestic place. Even in terms of infrastructure, his sect looks like a great power.
In the main hall, Heru Cokro officially introduced Wiro to the rest of the sect.
Heru Cokro looked around, "This is Brother Wiro, a fist grandmaster who will be our elder. When your sect leader returns, we will hold an official ceremony. At the same time, he would open a hall known as Hall 212 to teach Eight Fists Wiro Sableng."
When Wiro heard those words, he stepped forward and shook everyone's hands as a sign of greeting.
"Welcome, Elder Wiro!"
"Welcome, Elder Wiro!"
All the disciples cheered happily, creating a scene full of happiness. The natural growth of their sect was encouraging news.
"Older Wiro will handle the day-to-day affairs as long as your sect leader is not here" Heru Cokro added.
He announced a series of rules that had to be followed to ensure Wiro's position within the sect. Basically, Wiro was the number two person in the Sachi Sword Sect.
"Yes, sir!" All the students answered sincerely. However, their voices were no longer as loud and uniform as before. Joining a sect was one thing, but a sect that had another leader was a different matter. The disciples felt somewhat wary because the Empress was not in the sect. They felt even more tense now that a new elder would take care of the day-to-day affairs.
Especially for Wulandari, her heart was shocked. He had had a comfortable position in the sect, almost comparable to the young master of the sect. Now, Wiro's presence moves him from a position of power that he has enjoyed.
When Heru Cokro saw their reaction, he frowned. However, after thinking for a moment, he chose not to comment. He believed that Wiro had enough ability to handle this situation and might even be able to increase the prestige of the sect. Heru Cokro had foreseen many things before and did not feel fear.
After announcing all this, Heru Cokro dissolved their meeting.
