Next morning, Bary and a few elders were already waiting close to the long-distance teleport formation. Krune's group arrived right after. Only Krune and Ao will be participating this time around. But Shinja and Yusa were going together just to see how the first phase would go out. Bary didn't mind. Many contestants are bringing their subordinates to take care of their necessities. It's a common situation in the cultivator world anyway.
"I see you achieved a breakthrough into the 8th stage. That is good! You should have a better chance of passing the Martial Gathering now. But I know you did it quite in a hurry. So, remember to spend the next few months reinforcing your foundation instead of cultivating!"
Krune nodded.
"That was my plan from the start. Guild Head Bary has no need to worry."
Bary then looked at Ao Sulian.
"How was this period of training with Orle?"
Ao immediately thanked Bary.
