Chapter 485: Team Discussions (1/2)

The team assorted everything that received from the resource rewards. After putting the box away, they decided to take a short break before re-grouping again since they have other matters to discuss about.

”Alright, let's talk about important matters that we need to accomplish as a whole.” Jason stated as soon as everyone was gathered.

”During the distribution of the rewards just now, a couple of matters were brought up by Raven. I think we need to start on those.” Jason added, ”First, I want to ask. Who amongst you plans on switching their cultivation techniques? Raise your hand.”

It was obvious that there were some people who hesitated at first but it didn't take long before some people raised their hands and confirmed the idea. These people were Juniper, Edward, the twins and surprisingly Nelson.

”Woah.” Jason was astonished, in fact it's not only him, even the rest were surprised to see the others raised their hand as well.

”Well, no offense to you but we kind of understand why you're switching.” Jason said to Juniper who didn't take any offense to his words. ”But what about you guys? Most specially you Nelson. If I can remember it correctly, you should've received some good inheritance from your family right? What brought this on?”

Hearing what he said caused Nelson to raise a brow. He wasn't expecting this guy say something like that but he remembered who he was so he wasn't surprised. He sighed after that and started explaining.

”I don't know where you heard that from but it's nothing really much.” Nelson stated, ”Just because I am from an Imperial Lineage, it doesn't mean that I got something good from them. My situation is a bit…sensitive. If it's my other siblings, then sure. But not me. I got lucky since I was accepted, and since I'm already here, I might as well get rid of the unnecessary shackles on me.”

Nelson's words sounded very cryptic but some people could vaguely understand what he's trying to say. It would seem that there's more to the stories that's being proliferated by the public. Nelson's relationship with his family might not be as great as one would think. However, they're in no position to pry so they'll just have to leave it like that.

”You twins? How about you?” Jason asked.

”Nothing much, just don't want to be a burden to you all.” Pyra replied before Mira could, Jason could vaguely see that Pyra was doing something to Mira to prevent her from speaking. ”Our strength's are mediocre at best, if its outside then we're not that bad but here is a different story, specially after witnessing some of our teammates. We don't want to be the ones holding you back. We have the same goal.”

”What she said.” Mira simply said before looking away.

Jason nodded and looked at Edward, he asked the same question to him and he answered:

”Master suggested the idea to me.” He said, ”At first I was skeptical, but seeing the sheer amount of techniques available here as well as how many looked extremely tempting for me and the pills just now, I decided to go for it. It's better to start as soon as possible so I could get back to my peak just as quick. Plus it would only help me in the long run. So why not?”

His reason's were sound, but Jason couldn't help but look at Franklin and ask: ”Did your Master told you the same thing?”

”No, but not because he's not impressed with the sect or something. I have a unique condition which causes me to look like this. It's a clan heritage thing and I've been using a technique that's tailored to us, I'll be in danger if I make any changes so…yeah.”

”Oh, okay. Sorry.” Jason said.

”It's fine, you guys needed to know that anyway.” Franklin waved his hand and smiled, signifying that he wasn't offended at all.

Jason nodded and said: ”Okay, since you guys have decided to do so, then I think you should go for it. Have you guys chose something already?”
