Chapter 122: Entering The Dungeon (2/2)
Her talents were top-notch, almost reaching Caizhi's talents. Caizhi at that time had the strength of a Profound Qi middle-stage Realm, but now, she had already broken through the Qi Transformation threshold, showing the others why she was worthy of being directedly selected by the goddess.
Caizhi looked towards Seth as well. She didn't know how strong Seth was, but she believed he had already broken through the Mana Perception Realm. But she had never seen him fighting with his all, so it was difficult for her to tell.
”You don't need to ask him about it. I can directly tell you, that he is already a Mana Control middle-stage cultivator.” The Eleventh Palace Master said to the girls.
”WHAAAAAAAT?!” Jiayi's reaction attracted a lot of stares towards her.
Ruolan and Xiurong couldn't believe what they just heard as well. They looked towards the Eleventh Palace Master to check if she wasn't joking, something they have never seen her doing before.
Caizhi on the other hand, felt proud. Her man was the strongest of her entire generation and she took that pride for herself too.
But the voice of the Eleventh Palace Master reached their ears once again.
”That makes me think about something... Which Higher Ground do you come from? Are you perhaps from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary?” She asked while narrowing her eyes.
The three Higher Grounds were not in good terms with one another and if Seth was from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, she would need to destroy his relationship with Caizhi right now. She didn't think he would be from the Lion's Pride Golden Palace, since there was already an heir there to claim all the best resources, and it was impossible to reach Seth's cultivation without them in her conception.
”You don't need to worry. I'm not from any of the human Higher Grounds.” Seth was technically not lying.
The woman kept looking towards Seth without saying anything.
The girls felt that the atmosphere between them was getting tense and just when Jiayi would say something, Allannia called for their party.
'Sigh... It's not like I can verify it now... Just let it be.' The Palace Master turned around and decided to ignore it for now. However, if she discovered something off about him, she would need to separate them.
”Let's go girls. The elves had an hour of advantage on us already. If we want to catch up to them, we will have to work hard.”
”Heh! We are going to show them who are the strongest!” Jiayi said cheerfully.
Ruolan gracefully touched her blade, getting ready for the battle.
A sharp glint passed through Xiurong's eyes.
Caizhi lips curved in a beautiful angle as she followed Seth closely.
The group passed through the door and disappeared from the stadium. They were the second human group to enter the dungeon, since Wang Lei's group had already entered some time ago.
After passing through the gate, they were teleported to the outskirts of a very ancient looking place.
There was a forest of grey stones in front of them and the vegetation was trying to cover it wherever it was possible. But what really caught the group's attention, was that far away from them, there was a blue dome of energy covering a great expanse of land. It seemed to be the entrance of the second layer, the inner layer.
Just after they entered, Seth's Soul Sense already caught the presence of a person watching everything that was happening from a hidden place. Seth realized that he was a member of the Secret Security Unit, a mere soldier in charge of taking care of the initial area.
Using his Soul Sense, he identified the best route for them to take. His initial plan was to let the girls fight some Profound Qi beasts and acquire some cores, but a single look at his group made him realize that he was being naïve.
After entering the dungeon, the girls seemed to have changed. Seth felt that their senses have sharpened and the aura around them was fiercer than ever.
'Interesting.' He couldn't help but smile.
