Time passed as everyone used the extra time to cultivate and train. Soon, half of the time the formation could still work passed in a flash. Only six to eight months were available to the formation's natural core energy, according to Sister orb. Nothing much happened during this time, though. It's just that Laro didn't come out to negotiate with the people outside. He wanted to talk after the formation had gone down.
Rean's group, of course, improved by leaps and bounds during this time. The same could be said about the others.
Today, Calina was finally going to make her last breakthrough under the Core Formation Realm. Calina had made her breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm over five years ago, after all. With Rean's massive amount of Rank Three Spirit Stones from the Communication System, she had no problem with Spiritual Energy. The same could be said for Malaka.
