“I’m not sure,” Mika said in response to her boss’ query “It seems to be the sa rush hour as we speak It’s like the place is deserted So the short answer is no, I don’t know”

“It’s actually clear as day The North and the West’s Pontiff’s Castle are holding a big Adept co, and the alliances aredeal out of it with all sorts of resources andthrown around Their intentions for that is clear They are saying there are three s-ranked power gems as rewards to the winners Aside from the champion’s prize, the North has also sworn to build a reatest technology It’s the same for all levels of prizes, probably to attract the universes better Talents to coine e’re seeing the result here” Lin Guoguo had appeared froems were arrayed atop it

Lan Jue’s brows furrowed at the news “This is the first I’”

Mika’s chuckle bore a chilly undertone “Of course ouldn’t be able to participate The North and West arranged this whole thing as posturing against us The Avenue’s prestige has only grown over the last few years Then you have the Keeper’s visit to the Pontiff’s Castle, which was revealed recently, where he threatened to use his abilities to tear the hole castle down After coercing the Pontiff’s submission, suddenly the Castle and the Dark Tower delay their visit for a whole month Probably to prepare for this tournahtful “Do you knohen exactly this is supposed to take place?”

“In about threeheld on Planet Luo”

A twinkle flashed in Lan Jue’s eye “Got it I’ll ask Chu Cheng about it later – he should know more”

“Think we should participate?” Mika asked

Lan Jue pondered the question “Even if we do, you and Ke’er couldn’t come With so many adepts around, I wouldn’t able to properly protect you”

And that was the truth If the North and West both decided to focus their efforts on capturing Mika while on Luo, there wouldn’t be anything he could do

Mika, though, huffed dishty struggle”

Lan Jue helplessly shook his head “Alright, well you just keep working on your cultivation How are you feeling lately? Anything requiringjust as you instructed,” Mika replied, “slowly then Even though I’ my powers, there haven’t been any proble it up isit locked aould allow row in power, and eventually explode forth At that point it’d be too late So I’ve been working on controlling it, fusing it into myself, so diffuse soatively influencing ress should speed up considerably”

Lan Jue sood Well keep after the store, at least for a little while If it remains this slow then lock up shop, take the ti and A-Li”

Lan Jue adopted an ientle today?”

It was Hua Li’s turn to speak up “We wanted to use the sim pods to train, but it’s too difficult Unfortunately, the sim is the only place to properly train our coordination However, without the ability to use our disciplines we’re stuck We heard youwith us soon, anyway”

“I’m back aren’t I?” Lan Jue answered “You know there’s a new si works out, the problem of discipline and mecha unification in DreamNet will be solved We wouldn’t have any further proble ourselves to our li was visibly surprised, and Hua Li looked at his friend incredulously “Bullshit Where’d you hear that? If that were true how have I never heard of it?”
