Chapter 24: Targeting The Capital (1/2)

Jaeger smiled, “I know a little more than you, but even I barely have any news of that circle. Veron from your school and Borise from mine have teamed up with Parlie. They should be exploring the cause for this planet’s evolution, and are perhaps on their way to the capital. That area isn’t somewhere we can go; I would be satisfied with just a province and some minerals. There’s no need to fight those freaks.”

Jeraldine paled, “Parlie? From the Third Gravitas Planet?”

Jaeger’s gaze turned serious, “Yes, the very same one who almost joined the Empire Youth Council. He’s already a peak Sentinel at 3k combat level.”

Lu Yin was surprised that people so powerful would be among this batch. If Vesta and Orton were in the bottom tier, Jeraldine could barely join Terence and Jaeger in the middle. The strongest were already close to the capital, which would undoubtedly be the epicenter of the battles.

Jaeger said seriously, “From what I know, there are three top-tier teams in China, of which I only know Parlie’s. Still, even the others are certainly going to be freaks that can compete with the second batch; their goal isn’t even the planetary trial, they’re just using it to warm up for the legendary territory trials.”

Jeraldine fell silent at this juncture. Her own network was too weak to know much at this level.

”Alright, I've told you all I needed to. It's about time,” Jaeger said suddenly.

“What time?” Jeraldine asked with suspicion.

”Time for you to be happy,” he laughed weirdly.

She felt her heart drop immediately and looked at her teacup, “You poisoned the tea?”

“Of course not, your watch would have caught it. I actually gave you something quite good; powerburst powder.” Jaeger retrieved a crystal vial from his cosmic ring with a dark green clover emblem on it.

“Clover Pharmaco? What does this do?” she cried out.

“Find out for yourself. Try to activate your energy,” Jaeger chuckled.

Lu Yin pressed down on Jeraldine’s shoulder and stared at Jaeger, “Don’t move. Powerburst is meant to allow Melders to activate all their star energy in an instant for explosive strength. Sentinels don’t have enough star energy; we’ll injure ourselves and wither up. Am I right?”

Jaeger was astonished, “You actually know? Right, you mentioned that your grandfather was a headmaster? Looks like you have some family background.”

Lu Yin’s gaze went cold, “People who aren’t Melders yet can’t activate their star energy for a while after consuming powerburst, but that’s a huge price to pay. What are you pulling?”

Jeraldine backed away, the blood draining from her face, “You bastard.”

“Bastard?” Jaeger smiled, ”How could you say that? I gave you a powerful supplement, you should blame yourself for not being able to use it.”
