The night passed in silence, giving way to a tranquil morning. Quickly, a whole day unfolded with Almin immersed in the city. As night fell, the whale, positioned atop a hill overlooking the city, opened its eyes, and a frenetic sensation quickly transmitted through the array.
Ruri, who was nearby, sensed something subtle and ran quickly to the whale's side, which wore a serious expression. "Master, was he discovered?" Ruri asked, astonished.
The whale remained silent for a few tense seconds before sighing and responding, "Something unexpected happened, but it seems he hasn't been discovered."
After a few minutes, the sensation changed, and even Ruri clearly noticed that Almin was using the array; he was in a fight!
"He didn't activate his cultivation and kept the seal intact," the whale murmured. "He's relying on the array and his limited physical ability... well, compared to alchemists or common cultivators who avoid dangers, he should fare well."
