The weakness I felt was due to me being empty in origin energy and also incurred debt from the system similar to the time I failed my daily mission, 'I wonder where all these forge points debt go to? I need to learn to save some forge points In case something like this happens again' I thought.
"This is such a drag I don't have material to forge a thing right now, so what to do?" I said, glancing at Leo.
BEEP!

A volcano of frustration welled up inside my body as I breathed in slowly trying to suppress my anger but then as I had my head facing down my eyes caught sight of a purple halved pearl, but this time it had a red Cloudy dot in the middle like a small nucleus.
My lower eyelids involuntary twitched, as a wave of emotions attacked me remembering what the true issue was right now, and the voice of S10 echoed in my head, 'This pearl, if anything life-threatening happens to any of us the purple cloud will turn into a red cloud making us know what condition each of us is in,"
The memories of me losing everyone I cared about in my past life flashed before my eyes as they became cloudy and misty, followed by droplets of water falling from my face, I had just realized that even though I was in my second life my habit of getting attached easily has not disappeared and I felt my emotions surge up knowing S10 is in danger,
I suppose due to the 13-year-old body it was easy to cry now unlike in the past. I heard Leo begin to talk to me, "Hey kid, don't cry and look closely at that pearl, she said if the whole pearl turns blood red then know it is life-threatening, but look it's only a small little red speck, I would have been surprised if she did not get any injuries from that space explosion, so cheer up she will be fine,"
Hearing Leo's words I calmed down and tightly held the pearl. I reassured myself that the next time I see S10 I wouldn't let her go, and will protect her. "I refuse to be like my past useless self who lost everyone who has been with me, from now on no matter what, if you are associated with me Tema I will make sure that those who hear about it won't dare to even have thoughts about crossing you," I quietly said
Then a cold ruthless thought appeared of finishing off the one who caused the explosion, "Reece old dog, if you are alive after what you did, then you better wash that neck daily before I find you and turn you into a dead mutt that is no less useless like roadkill," I said with gnashed teeth.
Calming my heart and mind I now evaluated my situation, and what I had to prioritize first. After a while, It went without saying I had to finish my daily quest to Scribe blueprints, and with the ones stored in the archives from copying the design of Slith's tower and maybe the system also has some stored blueprints of its own,
I was not worried about what to design but the concerning matter is finding 'Beast blood'
Looking at Leo by my side, "Leo I need beast blood can you lend me some to make blueprint scrolls?" I asked, scratching the back of my head nervously.
A sharp killing intent grazed me briefly then Leo turned his head around in annoyance, "Guess not then," I said then looked around for some clothes to cover myself with.
Spotting a dead body considerably intact I took off the man's robes to wear them, "Sorry buddy I need this more than you do, please rest in peace" I said with a bow to the corpse then buried it into the rubble.
"Just where can I get some fresh beast blood?" I said out loud cheekily glancing at Leo while looking away before we made eye contact.
Hearing a scoff from Leo he then got up and started walking towards the third tunnel, "Hey! Where are you going? I Need some beast blood to make some scrolls to gain some of my power back you know. Just how do you expect me to help you with your debt when I'm in such a poor condition?"
Finally, the tiger stopped and glanced back at me, rolling his eyes, "Come on kid if it's beast blood you need then come with me, I'm sure your buddy the molen king Digrooth would not mind us harvesting blood from some of his blind kin," Said Leo striding towards the third tunnel.
"What about your friend's task?" I said, surprised at why he did not argue that I am wasting time.
"You might be abnormal when scaling your powers compared to the usual cultivators, but still you are too weak for what is in store for you at the fourth tunnel. I need you to be at least at the 4th stage of the Mortal release level to get you qualified for taking the Trials, don't ask what trials you will find because even I don't know the answer to that but what I do know is that you must reach the,
4th stage in just one day. The suppression of the Space sickness will loosen after 3 days, but if we can get you to the trials by the end of this day you might have a chance to find a solution from my friend on how to cure that Space sickness of yours," Said Leo walking into the dark third tunnel with no fear whatsoever.
"Looks like I have to work harder this time when scribing my first blueprints and, hope this time I gain a lot of forge points creating them. Damn it! A mission at this time and I still don't have a heat source to forge or origin energy to use tetras skill, all I can do is make blueprint scrolls and hope I gain enough forge points," I said, quietly grabbing my now worn-out hammer and followed Leo in hurried footsteps.
"Hey! Wait for me Leo, then can you at least hint me on who has done the trials before, so that I can prepare myself mentally," I said walking beside Leo in the darkness, then Leo's Whiskers lighted up like a matchstick increasing the flame size and proceeded to walk deeper.
"Don't bother asking me kid because you will be the first. Only those deemed worthy by me and the trial house will be able to enter. And only those in the mortal release 4th stage can take the trials, anyone with a higher level will just be asking for death from that damn Doll-faced bastard hahaha," said Leo laughing out loud with no regard for the Potential enemies that might be able to hear us.
'Dollface!? Interesting,' I thought.
"Skweearr!"
Hearing the shriek, both me and Leo looked at each other and smiled.
