Chapter 516: Hall of Enlightenment (1/2)

”It's just like what Senior Brother said…” Jason stated in front of his teammates. ”Devil's Cradle had become off-limits to us for a whole month. In addition the that, Sophomores and above were required to serve as guards during this time period.”

”We're Freshmen so we're exempted from this. However, this also meant that we won't be able to earn Unit Merit Points altogether.” Jason added.

”Well, that shouldn't be much of a problem really.” Michelle stated, ”I mean, we've accumulated a good amount of Unit Merit Points. I don't think we're behind the other Units of Senior Brother, in fact I'll be surprised if we don't come at first place.”

”Yeah, for now at least.” Jason replied, ”However, even if we're ahead, that's not an excuse to slack off. In fact, we have to accumulate more in order to solidify our position.”

The whole team nodded in full agreement with Jason's words.

”Next month is basically a vacation for us.” He added, ”My suggestion is to use that time wisely. Those who were planning on switching cultivation methods, consult Senior Brother as soon as possible and if you can, ask him for recommendations. We have a whole month to earn Merit Points for our personal use. There are ton of missions in the hall, feel free to browse and pick whichever you think is suitable for you.”

”For those who doesn't plan on switching, don't fall behind. Your Laws, techniques and instincts shall remain sharp. We are surrounded with numerous places to practice so don't make any excuses.”

”Also, I think it's time for us to upgrade this base. What do you guys think?” Jason brought up the idea.

His suggestion sparked strong reactions from the team. All of them pondered when Nelson asked: ”Do we have enough?”

”For a 1st-tier upgrade? Yeah we do. For a 2nd-tier though, we fall short by a few hundreds.”

A Base Upgrade is a unique service which could be purchased by a Unit. Depending on the package, the base will be upgraded to ease up the living conditions of the team. The packages available is represent by Tiers. The higher Tier upgrade they purchase, the better their base will be.

”We should be able to purchase the 2nd-Tier upgrade.” Raven commented, ”The rewards for harvesting a Bloodstone Slab will arrive in a few days, remember? Let's just wait for it. That way, not only we could have better living conditions, we'll also have some Unit Merit Points to spare.”

”I support the idea.” Franklin stated as well as some other members.

It didn't take long before everyone agreed onto that so they moved-on with their meeting.

The team ended up discussing more things regarding to what they should do next. Since the next month is going to be rather relaxed for them, they'd be able to catch their breaths and tackle several things that they've been postponing so far.

After the discussion, everyone was dismissed and went to do their own business.

”Excuse me.”

”Yes? How can I help you Junior Brother?”

”Are you the Supervisory Deacon here?”

”Yes, I am.”

”Great. Uh, my Senior Brother give me this. He told me that you'll take me somewhere when I show this to you.”

The Supervisory Deacon of the Enlightenment Hall raised a brow and received the token that Raven passed down to him. Once he saw the token, his eyes widened as he looked incredulously at Raven, eyeing him from head to toe.

Raven was puzzled by this and similarly raised a brow as well. The deacon noticed that and cleared his throat.

”Sorry about that Junior Brother, I just…wasn't expecting this situation.” The deacon explained. ”Did His Excellency explained anything to you?”

”He didn't.”
