Asura and Kallu trained diligently after the incident at the royal palace. They were focused on becoming stronger, driven by their frustration at not being able to provide any assistance during the event. This feeling was particularly intense for Kallu, who had been singled out as a target by the intruder.
Kallu's thoughts were consumed by a question: "Was I truly so weak that I became the target?" Among those in the second stage of the spiritual realm, there were only three individuals: him, Asura, and the person who had lost his left arm. This realization only fueled Kallu's anger, as he felt annoyed that the headmaster had to intervene to protect him from the intruder. Without that intervention, Kallu believed he could have faced severe injuries or even death.
Their relentless training bore fruit, as both Asura and Kallu advanced to the third stage of the Spiritual Realm. But their progress didn't stop there; their cultivation stabilized, and within a matter of days, they would be on the brink of reaching the pinnacle of their current level. The fourth stage of the Spiritual Realm was not far from them, promising even greater strength and abilities.
One day, after a particularly intense sparring session, Kallu turned to Asura, his expression serious. "Do you want to join the others in hunting down those intruders?"
Asura asked, "How?" Kallu was surprised to see that Asura was ready to grant his request, and he asked, "You are ready, which means you also thought of joining them?"
Asura said, "I was thinking of how to participate, but I didn't find any clues about where they've gone and with my current cultivation level I am not eligible to join that team. They keep their mission hidden, but it looks like you have a clue."
Kallu said with a smile, "I've heard you are a fighting maniac and never let down a chance to fight. Now I can see the rumors are true. So, let's plan where we are going and how we are going."
"Where do you two want to go?" a voice sounded from behind them. They tensed up and quickly turned around to see that it was Su Lin who had just spoken. After realizing that the person was Su Lin, they both relaxed.
Asura noticed something about Su Lin and said, "You broke through the fourth stage and even condensed your cultivation completely."
Su Lin smiled and nodded. She was close to reaching the peak of the fourth stage and would be able to advance to the fifth stage in a few days. This speed shocked both Asura and Kallu.
Kallu was even more shocked because her talent was the same as his, but she was advancing more quickly compared to him, even though he was trying his best to enhance his cultivation level.
Seeing that both of them were surprised, Su Lin was extremely happy on the inside, though she didn't show it. All she displayed was a gentle, sweet smile. After this, she asked again, "Where do you want to go?"
With a newfound sense of determination and excitement, Kallu and Asura exchanged glances before turning back to Su Lin. Kallu spoke up, his voice filled with eagerness, "I believe I've found a clue that could lead us not only to where the special team is heading and it is also an opportunity to work together with them to eradicate those Intruders headquarters."
Curiosity lit up Asura and Su Lin's faces as they leaned in, eager to hear Kallu's findings. "Remember the encrypted messages I mentioned? That was for the headmaster, Well, I managed to get a closer look at one of them," Kallu began his tone a mix of excitement and caution.
Su Lin nodded attentively. "And what did you discover?"
Kallu retrieved a small parchment from his cloak and unfolded it, revealing a meticulously written message that seemed to contain a set of coordinates and a mention of an impending "Enemy Location." He explained, "These coordinates appear to lead to a remote location in the mountains. I believe this is where the headquarters of those intruders and the team which is formed to eradicate them are heading"
Asura leaned in to examine the parchment, his eyes narrowing as he absorbed the information. "So, if we follow the coordinates then we have a chance to fight those intruders, we even might gain insight into the syndicate's larger plans."
Kallu nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. "Exactly. And that's not all. I overheard whispers among the elders of the Xiao about a secretive group that has also been tracking their activities. This group seems to be aiming to monitor the Crimson Cobra Syndicate all time."
Kallu also added " And I Heard that the intruders were from some syndicate and the syndicate's name is crimson cobra syndicate"
"Crimson Cobera Syndicate," Su Lin and Asura said in unison then Kallu asked "Do any of you two know anything about this syndicate"
Asura shook his head signaling he didn't know anything on the other hand Su Lin was thinking if she heard anything about this syndicate from her master but she actually failed to remember.
Su Lin's brows furrowed, intrigued yet cautious. "An Elite team against the syndicate? Do we know anything about this Syndicate?"
Kallu's lips curled into a thoughtful smile. "Not much. If we can find a way to secretly follow the Elite Team to the syndicate's headquarter location, we might have a chance to join forces. Although I doubt we can help them in any way but we can gain experience by fighting those syndicates which will improve our path of cultivation"
Suddenly Su Lin said " I will also join and you two can't say no, otherwise, I will tell your plan to the Head Master and two of you clearly know that the Head Master will not allow anyone under the Senior disciple to join this type of Battle"
Asura and Kallu looked at each other again and then nodded they could only follow Su Lin's request or more precisely a Blackmail.
Asura's excitement was palpable. "So, we will go after them tomorrow. so, don't be late and prepared all the things that are needed ."
Kallu nodded in agreement. "Exactly. We must be cautious, as we're dealing with unknown variables here. But if we play our cards right."
Su Lin's analytical mind was already at work, weighing the risks and benefits. "We'll need to keep our identities hidden, If we can gain get experience without exposing our identity that would be better ."
Kallu's gaze shifted between his companions, his voice firm with resolve. "We've overcome challenges before, and this is just another step in our journey. We'll remain vigilant, adapt to the situation, and make use of every advantage we have."
After finalizing their plan, they quietly dispersed, each going their own way to prepare for the upcoming journey, and they would meet tomorrow morning at the same place.
