The two people with the most power in the Owl Claw dojo are the only two people who have crossed the second major breakthrough obstacle. The first person is the founder of the Owl Claw dojo, Master Owl Claw. The second person is the future inheritor of the dojo, Master Sky Claw. It is not that the dojo couldn't produce more than two. This two were intentional and the limit of two was also intention. This arrangement has allowed the Owl Claw dojo to remain stable and in firm control of Master Owl Claw over the years. Master Owl Claw has had a lot of disciples over the years. Many of them have reached the sixth transformation. But he didn't teach any of them the advanced mana breathing technique. If he had taught them the breathing technique, many of them would have reached the seventh transformation. Some of the talented ones would have even reached the ninth transformation by now. But Master Owl Claw didn't teach them. Instead, he taught only his adopted son. Those disciples might not have said anything. But they are inwardly bitter, angry, and disgruntled by this. They have had to find a way out for themselves. Some of them succeeded, but a lot of them failed. In fact, a lot of them became hunters and died in the green forest. They risked their lives and died for something that their master could have easily taught them. Regardless of how many years they served their master, they still weren't taught this advanced mana breathing technique. They either had to die trying to get it through other means or watch as a boy younger than them learned the breathing technique and overtook them. So the resentment has been brewing for a very long time. It didn't matter much because rarely do those disgruntled students make it to the seventh transformation. And those who did are too weak and few in number to challenge Master Owl Claw. But that will change if a lot of those students gain the advanced mana breathing technique for free. Many of them will overcome the second major breakthrough obstacle. It is likely that all of them will attack the Owl Dojo. They will do it either to take their rightful place as the successors of the dojo or they will destroy the dojo for revenge and to make sure that Skylar doesn't get the dojo. So Arthur's teaching of the advanced mana breathing technique is a very serious matter. It is not about money for the Owl Claw dojo because the dojo wasn't earning money from teaching it. The dojo wasn't teaching the advanced mana breathing technique at all. That's the source of the problem. Master Owl Claw's decision not to teach the advanced mana breathing technique has caused an explosive to be built underneath his dojo. Arthur's action will set the explosives on fire and could demolish his dojo. Yet, there wasn't much Master Owl Claw could do about it. It has already been proven that he can't beat Arthur if he decides to fight Arthur. Even if he can defeat Arthur, he doesn't dare to do it publicly since that would be disregarding the promise of the leader of the alliance of dojos who belongs to the Dyson family. Master Owl Claw also can't start teaching the advanced mana breathing technique because that won't solve his problem at all. He will still be creating people who can destabilize his dojo by teaching his advanced mana breathing technique. So Master Owl Claw's hands are tied. He can't solve his problem himself. He needs someone more capable to do so for him. So Master Owl Claw and a couple of other masters went to the first-grade dojos to complain. The first-grade dojos mainly teach the advanced mana breathing technique and the force diagram. So Arthur will be stealing their business if he teaches the advanced mana breathing technique for free. These masters were hoping that the first-grade dojos would stop Arthur. But the first-grade dojos refused to act against a twelve-year-old boy. For them to defeat Arthur, they would either need someone at the tenth transformation of the first mortal coil or someone at the second mortal coil to fight publicly or secretly ambush the twelve-year-old boy. They were not willing to make that commitment. Instead, they were of the opinion that they should wait until Arthur leaves and is accepted by a sect. They believed that with his talents, he would surely enter a sect. So rather than antagonize him and his uncle in the Dyson family for some money in the short term, they would rather let him do what he wants and befriend him. In fact, if everything goes well, Arthur's free teachings would create a lot of people who would soon be in great demand for their force diagrams. So they refused to go to war on behalf of the second-grade dojos. Now that the masters of second-grade dojos couldn't have the help of their powerful counterparts in the alliance of dojos, they could only resort to underhanded means if they hoped to solve the problem that Arthur was about to create for them. This was happening during the one month that Arthur was hoping that someone would jump out to stop him from teaching the advanced mana breathing technique. It wasn't that there was no one dissatisfied with what he wanted to do. It was that they had decided not to make broad and open moves against him. The result of their scheming and plotting came out a few days after he thought he was being paranoid. Someone came to visit him at night. Roar was the first to notice the intruder. The person came in the middle of the night while he was sound asleep. So he wouldn't have noticed if not for Roar. The weird thing about the situation was that there was no immediate apparent danger to his life. The person didn't try to sneak into his house to kill him at all.
