Chen Kai and Tercres were walking on one of the many main roads of the city, as expected It was crowded with people so both of them were wearing robes that hid their bodies and heads so that way they wouldn't call attention by their unusual looks
' The Xiao Sect should be on the other side of the city ' Chen Kai thought and with a serious expression he thought again ' The fastest way to enter will be by infiltrating the sect, the problem would be the elders and teachers there, those old farts are more dangerous than the ones from the Heavenly Sect '
Chen Kai turned his head slightly to the right to look at Tercres who was walking a few steps behind him ' And I'm sure that this guy won't do anything if we get in any trouble, that option is not viable, so the other option is to join the Xiao Sect at least for a couple of weeks until I could see Yue, I think it will take long but with this new power I have I'm sure that I can get in the sect without problems '
Chen Kai clenches his fists and thinks ' Yes, that will be the best option, I have to see Yue even once before I go to the tournament that Shallot said '
Tercres who was walking a couple of steps behind him raised his eyebrow with doubt then he said " It seems that you already know what to do now, you know you need to hide your intentions better you are very expressive, and sometimes that isn't good "
Chen Kai turns around a little surprised by Tercres' words but then he makes a serious expression and says " And what if I'm expressive? That's the way I am, anyway I was planning to join this city's sect, I need to see someone there "
Tercres sees Chen Kai with a raised eyebrow and says " Why do you need to do that? Can't you search for that person without going in? "
Chen Kai shakes his head and says " No, the Xiao Sect is very well guarded and only the inner disciples can go into the main compound, I visited her a few times in the past, but I'm sure that right now she has become an inner disciple, besides she rarely comes out of the sect "
Tercres keeps his raised eyebrow and after a couple of seconds he sighs and says with a bored expression " You know that joining their ranks and becoming an inner disciple will take a few weeks or even more even if you show an outstanding performance at their trials, you don't need to go elsewhere in a few months? " Then Tercres sees him with a serious expression that makes Chen Kai look at him with surprise
' He knows about the tournament? Is he going to participate in it? ' Chen Kai with astonishment then he reevaluates his thoughts ' No, it can't be that? Shallot would have told us about it, right? ' Chen Kai saw Tercres serious expression but he hid his thoughts to say " It will be fine, this is very important, I have to see her " Then he turned around and walked away once again
Tercres sees him walking and follows him, he is conflicted about Chen Kai ' This guy, is he dumb or something? I thought we were similar I too have someone who I love deeply but if I'm not strong enough I won't be able to protect her, and that is why I haven't gone for her, I need to get stronger not for me, for her, for our future ' Tercres begins frows seeing Chen Kai's back ' But him, he thinks that he is strong enough to achieve what he wants? He only will get himself killed this way and no one will come to save him once more ' But then Tercres' face became soft thinking about that woman he longs for ' A little bit more Lin Zhi, a little bit more and I will go for you '
Chen Kai walked through the city for a few minutes until Chen Kai saw a young pair of young women walking towards them then, he was surprised by who they were and couldn't help but say loudly " Ying Jie? " Tercres stopped when he heard Chen Kai as well as the pair of women who seemed to have heard him
One of them looked almost identical to his former lover Ying Yue but this girl was at least 3 years younger and her hair was different. She had long pale blond hair, and emerald eyes with long eyelashes her body was slim but not much like her sister's, and she wore a light blue Hanfu with a thin sword on her waist
Chen Kai had mixed emotions seeing Ying Jie, Ying Yue's younger sister, after all, they never got along very well and despite her looking almost like Yue, Jie had a flirtatious personality the complete opposite of her sister, He remembered her tendency to flirt with every young outstanding cultivator she met, it seems that she only treated Chen Kai differently because of the potential he had before
Then his eyes landed on the other woman walking beside Ying Jie and at that moment he clenched his fists, the woman's name was Lan Xue. She is a beautiful young woman with a slender body and long pink hair, she has green eyes and wears a light blue Hanfu just like Ying Jie's, and she also carries a sword on her waist
Chen Kai felt anger towards Lan Xue because every time she saw him she mistreated him by insulting him or sending people to attack him, for no reason, even if he never talked to her, she seemed to hate him to death for some reason, so the only feeling he had for her is anger
Ying Jie walked towards Chen Kai and when she was just a couple of steps before him she said " Do we know each other? How do you know my name? " Ying Jie sees Chen Kai with her head slightly raised by the difference in their height, yet she showed a face full of curiosity, inspecting every part of his face

Meanwhile on the other side of the continent
*ZOOM* A trail of red light moved very fast through a dense forest while a few meters behind it a group of around 20 men was chasing it, the men were the same white robes and all of them had different ages and strengths that went from Half-Step Dual Spirit Core to Half-Step Spirit Ocean on the strongest ones
" God damn! How is it so fast?! " Said one of those men with anger and frustration
" It's his cultivation technique! Not only increases his strength it increases his speed as much as he wants it! " Yelled an old man next to the first man who spoke
The men were losing the trail of light thanks to the forest and the speed it had, they were visibly frustrated about that, but still, they kept chasing it with an amazing speed
" F*ck!! We can't let him escape! " One of the men yelled angrily, and then suddenly all of them saw that the red trail raised to the sky, it seemed that it had jumped. All of them looked at the sky in wonder as they kept moving and then they saw a bright blue sphere next to the red dot that lay in the sky and then one of the Elders opened his eyes in shock and yelled " Beware!! "
*ZOOM* The bright blue ball moved very fast towards them and the only thing they could do was hide behind everything they could and use techniques to protect their bodies, and suddenly *BOOOOOM* a savage explosion occurred, the explosion shook the ground, and blow away trees and rocks in every direction
The red dot lands showing the one who caused all of that. It was Callion surrounded by a red aura and smiling cruelly at the area he had just blown up
The red aura around Callion disappears and he thinks ' Haha, the Big Bang Attack, If I can do this with this strength I wonder how powerful it will be when I had Shallot's strength or even Fannels' '
Callion walks calmly into the huge crater he created, he sees the destruction with an arrogant smile and says " I'm getting better and better at this " He searches in the crater for any possible survivors but when he doesn't see anyone, he snorts with an evil grin in his face " Now not even a Half-Step Spirit Ocean cultivator is a match against me, but it's not enough "
Callion clenches his fists and the red aura appears around him once again then *ZOOM* he disappears into the forest in a flash
In the sky someone had been watching him from the start, that someone was Shallot who had his arms crossed and a smirking face " Not bad, that brat had tripled his strength since the last time I saw him, but as he got stronger he became even more ruthless and arrogant, he needs to be put in his place, but now I think is time to go, I will wait in the Xuixin Empire until the day of the tournament arrives " and with that, he flew away
