Chapter 268: Chapter 248: Ghastly Realm Exploration Team, Missing One Tank, Hurry Up (Two in One)

Within the secret base, the leader clad in a black leather jacket fell into deep thought.

He didn’t fully believe, but he certainly half-believed; not in the words of the man who claimed to come from the Awakener of Oasis in the city-state of the torrents, but in himself— in the intelligence gathered by Area 51.

Starting a few months ago, the number and severity of Mysterious Evil proliferations had both shown a tremendous increase.

This was indisputable.

Although the power of Awakeners was also on the rise, a simple trend forecast would show that disasters would become increasingly serious, and regions of imbalance would multiply until the world succumbed.

The difference was whether the majority of the world would fall or if the entire world would be completely devoured.

If it were the latter, then it was essential to start preparing in advance to build Arks of Redemption that could continue the spark of humanity and save the elite.

"If you want me to believe you, that’s fine, but I need to see your sincerity, for instance, the means to track down Mysterious Evil,"

Upon hearing the leader in the black jacket speak thus, the man in the light blue robe shook his head, "No, no, no, everything has a clear price tag, a trade of interests. I’ve already provided you with quite some information; it’s you who haven’t shown enough sincerity."

"Besides, the world will eventually be swallowed, even if you have the means to track down Mysterious Evil, what’s the point?"

The man in the light blue robe found the black-jacketed leader’s request a bit odd.

Why specifically ask for the means to track down Mysterious Evil?

Their city-state of the torrents had no such miraculous methods, and even if they did, what would be the point? Millennia, or even longer periods of time, showed that the destruction of worlds and the birth and continuation of Oases proved that the doom and downfall of worlds was a foregone conclusion.

Mysterious Evil were endless.

Resisting Mysterious Evil was pointless.

"As someone who’s been there, let me give you a piece of advice: make the most of your time to accumulate useful forces, seek mysterious materials and oddities; these are the things that matter,"

"When the day of world destruction comes, if you can pay a sufficient price, the gates of our city-state of the torrents might not be closed to some of you."

The leader seemed unswayed, but the man in the light blue robe didn’t mind, "Talking about it now, it’s hard for you to get a clear concept, but once you understand more about the Ghastly Realm, you’ll realize the kind of Oasis our city-state of the torrents truly is."

"Perhaps."

The leader was noncommittal.

He was waiting. Since this man before him said that the Tide of Gray Mist was imminent, he would wait and see what happened.

However, he needed to start making preparations.

The path that Dong Huang and Sunset were taking to purge Mysterious Evil could very well be wrong, and this might just be an opportunity for his White-headed Eagle Federation.

It was time to delve deeper into the exploration of the Ghastly Realm.

Unfortunately, if not for the fact that the man before him displayed notable power, with even greater forces behind him, he wouldn’t have been so passive had he used some extra measures.

...

Pacific Ocean training base.

It had been one day since the first Fundamentals of Mystic Studies test.

The scores were already out; some rejoiced, some despaired, some are foaming at the mouth.

"President, president, cheer up a bit."

When Perrie returned, she saw a girl trying to encourage Yiluo Xi, but to little effect.

In front of President Yiluo Xi was an open textbook; she held a pen, gritted her teeth, and stared at the patterns and text on the page as if facing a formidable enemy, only to eventually give up after a few minutes of struggle.

She went down, defeated and debilitated.

This was rather normal.

After all, it was the worrisome President Yiluo Xi.

But now was not the time for Perrie to worry; she was busy. She passed right through Yiluo Xi’s room and returned to her own quarters.

This left Yiluo Xi, who had just gotten up, looking dazed.

Not even a word of consolation for the president, huh? This damned fake sisterhood!

...

Perrie had been in shock since yesterday, still somewhat dazed.

She had arrived at the training base the day before yesterday.

Yesterday, after taking the oath, Perrie formally joined the organization through a special membership, which didn’t require her to undergo the cutthroat assessment.

Of course, with her strength, she would’ve easily passed even a rigorous assessment.

Thus, she was directly recruited.

That’s when Perrie’s shocking day began.

After becoming a member, she could see a primitive and profound interface in her own mind, with features like "Mission Acceptance," "Item Exchange," "Mysterious Evil Detection," and so on.

It was magical!

She had imagined that as the superior organization to the Sisterhood, Torchbearers might have been a bit magical, but her imagination fell short.

This... was utterly unscientific!

But it was truly awesome!

She had long learned words like "freaking cool" and "holy shit" from President Yiluo Xi, which proved quite useful. No matter the situation, choosing one of these terms would surely fit the context.

After tinkering for a while, following the suggestions on the screen, Perrie exchanged for one of the basic skills called ’Heavy Strike.’

The next moment she found herself in a special space.

The moment after that, she had learned the skill.

She couldn’t help exclaiming, "Instructor, freaking cool!" "Torchbearers, freaking cool!"

Perrie’s Awakened Ability was Diamond Transformation, allowing her to turn part of her body, or even her entire body, into diamond, giving her extraordinarily robust defense.

Especially when her whole body was diamondized, her defense had no weak spots, utterly flawless.

There was a flaw, though: she couldn’t move when fully diamondized.
