"Alright!" Lan Qing's response was simple. That one word.
Then, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
A small smile spread across the Terminator's face. He turned his attention to Lan Jue. "Interested in joining?"
Lan Jue smiled back. "Of course.
There's strength in numbers.
However, I have a companion who would like to join as well. "
"Alright," the Terminator said. "You can come at me together."
Lan Jue smiled. "No, I think you've misunderstood me.
Lan Qing is Lan Qing, I am me.
My companion is not him.
You and him go first, we'll invite you to spar later. "
This was an opportunity he couldn't let slip by. Sparring with such a powerful being was important to him.
He was on the verge of breaking through to Paragon, where he could understand protogenia and its changes.
After all, he and Lan Qing were brothers. Even in the midst of a sparring session, they couldn't go all out.
At the same time, he understood Lan Qing's abilities. The pressure he felt was less.
But the Terminator was different. This was a Paragon who had been famous for a long time. The pressure he felt would be greater, but it would also deepen his understanding.
He also believed that since the Terminator had called them out in front of so many people, he wouldn't do anything to harm them.
Lan Jue trusted Jun Er's judgment of the Terminator. Jun Er had said the Terminator was a good man.
Lan Jue believed it without a doubt.
Perhaps Jun Er didn't have the Clairvoyant's powers of prophecy, but she was born blind. She had to rely on her keen senses to see things.
The Wine Master had once said that Jun Er's foresight was more accurate before she'd begun to practice prophecy.
The Clairvoyant's heritage allowed her to see further.
Lan Jue closed his eyes and meditated, adjusting his Discipline.
How could he afford to be careless when he was about to spar with someone as powerful as the Terminator?
The Terminator looked at the two brothers, a faint smile on his face. Then he closed his eyes.
There was no doubt that the importance he attached to the two brothers far exceeded their imaginations.
The verti-car flew for half an hour before it started to slow down and descend.
A gap slowly opened up on top of a semi-circular building, and the verti-car slowly entered it.
Lan Qing and Lan Jue opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Lan Qing's eyes were clear, and there was a peaceful aura in the depths of his eyes.
On the other hand, Lan Jue's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and light blue lightning lingered in them.
The verti-car slowly descended to the ground. The Terminator opened his eyes.
"Come." He got out of the car first and walked in front.
After passing through a metal door, they entered a metal corridor.
For some reason, after coming here, Lan Jue actually felt a little depressed.
He didn't know why, but he couldn't explain it.
With his level of cultivation, it wasn't easy for him to feel this way.
Lan Qing sensed it as well, and his eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at the metal wall to the side.
"This place belongs to the Major League," the Terminator explained. "In a way, this place belongs to me.
Twenty years ago, I discovered a mysterious metal.
The birth of this metal came from the collision of two meteors.
Meteorite collisions are common in space, but meteors colliding with each other is a rare occurrence. There must be a gravitational field that causes them to collide. "
"There's no way to determine the composition of the two meteors, but when they collided, a piece of metal appeared. It had a lot of impurities, and its composition wasn't perfect.
It was brought back by the Northern Alliance's fleet.
Because of the strange energy it emitted, the Northern Alliance asked me to participate in their research.
I was shocked to discover that the metal was filled with protogenic energy. "
Protogenic energy?
Lan Jue stared at the Terminator in surprise.
The Terminator continued. "I was shocked. I never imagined that a piece of metal could be imbued with protogenic energy.
Without a doubt, this protogenic energy didn't come from the metal itself. It came from the collision of the two meteors.
No one could explain how it was formed, but I could feel it for real.
So, I asked for this piece of metal and personally studied it. "
"Later I discovered that the protogenic energy within the metal was constantly changing, and growing stronger.
I was already a Paragon at the time, and I'd relied on my body's extreme transformations to become a Paragon. I'd thought I'd spend the rest of my life stuck in the Realm of Protogenia, but the discovery of this metal changed my future.
By relying on my comprehension of it, my cultivation actually improved very quickly.
This piece of metal is constantly mutating, which causes my strength to mutate as well.
Finally, ten years later, I became a Reflection of Heaven and Earth. "
"I thought that it would continue to help me advance, but its energy fluctuations are starting to weaken.
Its protogenic energy changed to help me rearrange and rearrange, making me stronger.
As its energy stabilized, so did its protogenic energy. It could no longer help me with my cultivation.
I tried to find similar metals in the universe, but to this day I haven't found anything. "
"Eventually, the core of the metal became my protogenic weapon.
The impurities on the outside were mixed with other metals to create this place.
It's a perfect place for Paragons to cultivate.
It's also a place for Paragons to do battle. "
Every Adept who became a Paragon had their own story to tell. Lan Qing and Lan Jue knew this.
No one could achieve it easily. At least in the history of mankind, there had never been a Paragon born into this world.
But they didn't expect the Terminator to tell them his own story.
It was hard to believe. After all, the relationship between the Northern Alliance and the Eastern Alliance had never been harmonious.
The Major League and Skyfire Avenue were rivals.
As they spoke, they passed through the tunnel and through a thick metal door. They found themselves in a wide, open space.
Here, the oppressive feeling was even more pronounced.
With the Terminator's explanation, they could feel it.
Sure enough, Lan Jue found that this place was filled with protogenic energy. Protogenic energy came from the metal itself.
Just a few impurities could cause such a sensation. This metal had helped the Terminator advance from Protogenic Realm to a Reflection of Heaven and Earth. Its power was undeniable.
"Welcome back, Master." The electronic voice spoke, and a projection descended from above.
Lan Jue was keenly aware that the Terminator's mood was much more relaxed now that they were here. It was almost like he was at home.
This place was important to the Terminator. You could even say it was his secret base.
"Yes. Noah, activate your strongest barrier," the Terminator said.
The projection descended from above in the form of a tall man. If you looked closely, you'd see that he looked very much like the Terminator, but much younger.
"I have no children, and I can't have any.
So, I created Noah.
I used the appearance of my youth to combine the appearance of a woman I once loved the most.
I guess it's just a passing reference. "The Terminator smiled as he explained Noah's origins.
"Shall we begin, Your Majesty?" Lan Jue asked.
"Yes," the Terminator replied.
"Let's fight first, then we'll talk.
Are you sure you don't want to fight together? "
Lan Jue nodded without hesitation. "As long as you don't mind taking turns."
The Terminator chortled. "You know, it's hard to find a worthy opponent.
When Huan Xue was here, we sparred often.
But to be honest, I don't like her fighting style. Her control of the flow of time makes me uncomfortable.
In fact, what I'm looking forward to the most is to one day compete with Jue Di. That would be my greatest honor. "
Lan Jue shrugged. "I don't think it's too difficult.
Beat Lan Qing up enough, and I'm sure Jueti will show up. "
The Terminator's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Lan Qing's voice was placid. "You'd have to beat both of us up."
The Terminator smiled. "Let's try.
Your Majesty, Peerless Light Emperor of Middle Heaven. Your title is a long one, but let's get started. "
Lan Qing's face twitched at the mention of his Paragon title, but quickly returned to normal.
Lan Jue's body flickered, disappearing in a bolt of lightning. His body was enveloped in a layer of blue lightning, so no one could see what was going on inside. A figure separated from his body.
He and Zhou Qianlin had been cultivating for a long time now, and his strength had increased significantly. He'd always wanted to find someone to spar with, to see how strong he was.
But he'd had too many things to do, and hadn't found the right opportunity.
Today, the Terminator had invited him to spar with this person, and that was the best thing to do.
The Terminator smiled at Lan Qing. "After you!"
There was no time for pleasantries. Let the sparring begin!
