Mika shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it seems like there are fewer Adepts coming.
It's at least a third less than usual.
It's still the peak of the night.
At a time like this, it was a little deserted.
We don't know why. "
"What else could it be?
The Northern Alliance's Major League and the Western Alliance's Pontiff's Citadel are holding a tournament.
The prizes were extremely generous, and this time, the two alliances attached great importance to it, investing a large amount of manpower and resources. Their goal was self-evident.
It was said that there were three s-ranked power gems among the prizes. The champion would receive one, as well as a custom-made God-ranked mecha. The North had promised to use the most advanced technology to create the mecha.
The other prizes are also generous, attracting a large number of high-level Adepts.
Our side is a lot more deserted. "
Lin Guo-guo walked out from the back, a tray in her hands. On it lay a number of power gems.
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. "I've only just heard about it. I've never heard the Keeper mention it before."
Mika smirked. "Of course we won't. The Northern Alliance and Western Alliance are holding this tournament against us.
Skyfire Avenue's reputation has been on the rise for the past few years.
Not long ago the Keeper's visit to the Pontiff's Citadel got out. The rumor has it that the Arcane Magnate was pressuring the Pontiff's Citadel into submission.
The Pontiff's Citadel and the Dark Citadel have delayed their visit by a month. It has to do with their preparations. "
"Do you know when the tournament will be held?" Lan Jue asked.
"In three months," Mika answered.
"It'll be held on Planet Luo in the Northern Alliance."
Lan Jue's eyes flashed. "I understand.
I'll ask Chu Cheng later. He should know more. "
"Boss," Mika said.
"Boss, should we go and join in the fun?"
Lan Jue's brows furrowed.
He said, "Even if I want to go.
First of all, you and Kerr can't go. I'm not confident that I can protect you with so many Adepts around. "
Wasn't that right?
If the Western Alliance and Northern Alliance had gathered a large number of powerful metahumans on Planet Luo, and if they were to take action against Mika, it would be extremely difficult to protect Mika.
Mika snorted. "Do you think I'm afraid of them? At most, I'll fight them to the death."
Lan Jue shook her head helplessly.
You should focus on cultivating.
How have you been feeling lately?
Is there anything wrong? "
Mika said, "I've been cultivating according to Boss's instructions and gradually activated the power in my bloodline. Although I've only integrated a trace of it now, it doesn't feel like there's any problem.
It seems like your method is correct. Rather than blocking it, it's better to let it out. If you simply don't use it, the Demon King's bloodline in my body will continue to grow. Once it erupts, there will be no solution.
I'm trying to control it now.
I've integrated with its power, but I'm not affected by its violent energy.
If this continues to be effective, my growth will accelerate. "
Lan Jue smiled and nodded. "That's for the best.
Alright, you guys continue to look after the store. If there's nothing else, close early so you can have more time to rest. I'll go check on Ah-Cheng and Ali. "
When they arrived at the warehouse at the back, Chu Cheng and Huali were not cultivating in the simulation pod. The two were sitting on the ground with a pile of snacks beside them, chatting as they ate.
"Eating this junk food, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Lan Jue joked as she walked over.
Chu Cheng chuckled. "If us brothers were afraid of getting fat, then the world would be full of fatties.
You're finally back. You're not a very good landlord. You don't even bring us around to play. You're always missing. "
Lan Jue said righteously, "I'm a man with a job, unlike you two who are idling around.
Why aren't you training today? "
Huali said, "It's too difficult to improve through the simulation pod.
But only the simulation pod can provide an opponent for us.
But we can't really integrate our abilities in there, so it's a little uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, you should also train with us. "
Lan Jue said, "Aren't I back now?
Do you know that there's a new type of simulation pod being researched? If it's successful, we can solve the problem of integrating our abilities and mechas in the simulation pod.
In other words, we can also integrate our abilities and mechas in the simulation pod. "
Chu Cheng's face was a mask of shock. Hua Li, on the other hand, looked incredulous. "No way.
Where did you hear this from?
If there was such a good thing, how could I not know? "
Neptune Group was one of the largest corporations in the Major League, and an important sponsor of DreamNet. If something like this were to happen, Huali would be the first to know.
Lan Jue said, "It's probably because the experiment hasn't been completely successful yet.
If you don't believe me, we'll have good news soon enough.
Oh, right. I heard from Mika and Guoguo that there's an Adept convention on Luo. Have you heard about it? "
"Of course," Huali said.
"They've invited me to be the opening singer.
What?
You want to go too?
I heard the Eastern Alliance isn't welcome. It's a matter between the Northern Alliance and the Western Alliance. "
Lan Jue's voice was soft. "So you're trying to provoke them?"
"Don't say 'we'," Huali said. "I don't pay attention to these things. I've always hated politics, you know that."
Chu Cheng shrugged his shoulders. "I might go. After all, my dad always says that I'm a wastrel. This time, he wants me to win some prizes to make up for my past mistakes. I don't dare to not go!
Ah Jue, are you that sensitive? "
Lan Jue nodded. "Very sensitive, I'm afraid.
The Northern Alliance and Western Alliance are suddenly holding a convention, and not allowing the Eastern Alliance to participate. Isn't it obvious what they're trying to do? "
"I know a little more," Huali said.
"Your Eastern Alliance may be weaker than the Northern Alliance and Western Alliance, but you've always had the upper hand when it comes to Adepts. Skyfire Avenue's three Paragons alone are stronger than our two Major Leagues.
There are only two Paragons in each Confederation.
What's more, your Western Alliance has another. He's known as humanity's number one Paragon.
As long as he's around, he's an unparalleled deterrent.
I've heard that the Northern Alliance is researching a way to create a Paragon. It's a combination of the most sophisticated equipment and power gems, combined with powerful Adepts. It's a way to push an Adept to the level of a Paragon. I don't know if it's a success. "
Lan Jue's mouth twitched. "The Northern Alliance has nothing better to do. They're always trying to take control of the Major Leagues. Your Western Alliance working with them is asking a tiger for its skin."
Hua Li shrugged. "Who can say for sure what's going on?
Do you want me to use the power of the Consortium to try and stop this? "
"Ali, watch your words!"
Chu Cheng's face hardened. "This tournament is being held by the Major League and the two Citadels.
Even the Pontiff's Citadel is willing to put aside their enmity with the Dark Citadel.
Your Neptune Group may be strong, but you can't compete with all the Adepts in the Major League.
What's more, you're a member of the Western Alliance. "
Huali shrugged. "What does that matter?
You're a prodigal son. As your brother, what does the Consortium have to do with anything … I've long since grown tired of family heirs.
If someone threatens my brother in the future, I don't care who they are, or what Alliance they belong to. "
His words were spoken naturally, without the slightest hint of pretense. A charming smile spread across his face.
Chu Cheng slapped his forehead and murmured, "Thank goodness you're not a woman. Otherwise, I'd definitely be your number one pursuer!"
Hua Li lifted a leg to kick him in the face. "Get the hell away from me, you filthy stallion. I'm a woman, but I'm still going to marry A-Jue. What do you say, A-Jue?" His voice had taken on a soft, seductive tone. His voice was changing to its fullest.
Lan Jue shuddered. She waved a hand. "Forget it. Wait until you're a woman in your next life.
How about it?
Let's practice in DreamNet? "
Chu Cheng shot to his feet. "Come on.
You want to fight two at once?
Your Zeus Maids may not be here, but I believe you're strong enough! "
"Why don't you go to hell?!" Lan Jue retorted.
"Don't you have any shame?"
Chu Cheng's eyes widened. "Don't you know the secret of picking up girls is having a thick skin?
If you do, you'll have to remain a virgin for life! "
Huali cracked her knuckles. "Ah Jue, why don't we beat him up?"
Lan Jue nodded in agreement.
The three of them boarded their respective simulators, then entered DreamNet.
DreamNet. Dreamscape.
Three figures appeared at the same time.
"Where to?
The arena? "Chu Cheng's Hades asked.
Lan Jue nodded. "Let's go.
By the way, have you contacted the boss yet?
Does he have time to practice with us? "
Chu Cheng's eyes flashed with dread. "I don't dare contact him. Do you want a beating?"
"I think Ah Jue is the best choice," Huali said. "With his temper, who knows if he's in a meeting."
Lan Jue shook her head helplessly. "Is he really that scary?"
Chu Cheng and Huali nodded in agreement.
Lan Jue said, "Then I'll try."
He quickly dialed Lan Qing's number. It rang three times before the other side picked up.
"Ah Jue?"
Lan Qing's voice carried a hint of surprise. His voice was deep and dignified, but still brimmed with the toughness of a soldier.
