Xilin, Huaisha
*Bang!*
The wooden door was smashed by a great force. A blue-armored soldier slowly entered the room, the red electronic eyes on his helmet scanning the room.
“Nobody’s here,” the soldier murmured and left.
Xie Qiaoyue slowly opened the refrigerator door, shivering with cold, but at least escaped another search.
“Are you alright?” At the window nearby, a sea hawk fluttered its wings, standing on Tan Yue’s head and asked.
“It was a close call… There are more and more Redwinians on the streets!” Xie Qiaoyue knelt on the ground, shuddering from head to foot. “Now what?” She looked at the sea hawk and asked.
“We have to find a way to escape from Huaisha. It’s getting tough here. There are too many people in Heaven’s Spire. You’ll get caught sooner or later if you don’t leave.” The sea hawk replied in a low voice.
Xie Qiaoyue fell silent. She did not want to leave. That was where she grew up, but she had no choice now. “Is there any way?” she asked.
The sea hawk nodded. “Of course. I have the latest news. The Heaven’s Spire is searching not only for us but also for members of the Ironfist Club. It was a man called Sarroux.”
“Master Sarroux?!” Tan Yue was slightly surprised.
“Yes.” The sea hawk affirmed. “But I have news from other sources that the Ironfist Society is not something ordinary. There is a mysterious HQ behind them.”
“Mysterious HQ…?” Tan Yue was surprised. “I’ve been working in it for over a month, and I don’t even know there’s a mysterious HQ behind it!”
“How much will you know in just over a month?” The sea hawk rolled its eyes. “We saw the emissary of Ironfist Society fought with the masters of Redwin military and Heaven’s Spire in Blackwater district!”
“Wow… Really?!” Xie Qiaoyue now has some basic knowledge of their power, so she was even more surprised.
“In the end, the master of Redwin military was badly wounded, one of the masters of the Heaven’s Spire died, and the branch of Ironfist Society was completely destroyed,” sea hawk explained. “The destruction of the branch is a great disgrace to any organization, a provocation tantamount to declaring war. Hence, they will never stop!”
“So now we just have to wait for the Ironfist Society to come out and grab the attention of the Heaven’s Spire, and then we can seize the chance to escape?” Xie Qiaoyue responded quickly.
“Right!” The sea hawk smiled in satisfaction. “The harder they fight, the better, so we can sneak out of Anduin smoothly.”
…
Xylond, Yinglu Private Academy.
Lin Sheng had a splitting headache. He was leaning over his desk, unable to hear clearly what the teacher was saying in class.
He had had this problem since he woke up last night. He knew that this was a special consequence of absorbing the kind of soul far beyond he could digest.
The soul of the Steel Lord fell into his mind like hard, stubborn rock, and he digested it at a glacial pace. This also resulted in him not being able to fully digest and promote his holy power practice.
“This is the consequence of overstepping too much…”
According to the perception of the soul, the indigestible areas were generally concentrated in the region of the Angel of Desire of the five archangels. The soul can be divided into five angelic regions.
“The five regions of the soul are the Angel of Power, the Angel of Wisdom, the Angel of Desire, the Angel of Fire, and the Angel of Darkness. The Angel of Desire rules all desires. And the soul force of the Steel Lord that I absorb, the core force that pulls it together, that causes indigestibility, must come from this region. The core force is what the soul calls obsession. Without this, the soul is free and naturally dissipates into elementary particles. If I can find the obsession of the Steel Lord, I should be able to digest this part of the soul quickly.”
But Lin Sheng did not know how to come into contact with the region of the Angel of Desire and find the obsession of the Steel Lord.
“If there’s no other way, I’ll summon it first.” Then, it suddenly reminded him of Khadula.
Khadula definitely had his own obsession, but when he first absorbed that part of soul power, it didn’t seem to be too much of a hindrance.
“No… Khadula must have had his own obsession, but it was resolved without my knowledge…”
Soon, the bell of Yinglu Private Academy clanged.
Lin Sheng slowly raised his head, packed his things and stuffed them into his school bag, ready to leave the classroom.
Unexpectedly, the two men from Xylond’s Special Resources Department who came to see him last time were standing at the door.
Lin Sheng remembered that fat man was called Maier.
He walked slowly to them. “Yes?”
“Come on, let’s talk. River Beach Cafe, my treat,” Maier said with a smile.
…
A moment later.
In a classy cafe outside the campus.
Lin Sheng and two men sat down facing each other and ordered a cup of coffee respectively. Then Maier ordered a large fruit plate.
“Well, if there’s anything that needs me, let me make it clear. The branch at Huaisha has failed, and I don’t have much weight in the Ironfist Society anymore,” Lin Sheng said directly after the waiter left.
Maier rubbed his fat cheeks and asked, “That means you’re done with it?”
“Almost. The branch in Huaisha was a chance, a trial and a test that my teacher gave me, but the branch was destroyed and everything was ruined. So my teacher is disappointed with me. In short, I’m now idle.”
Lin Sheng was now more and more adept at telling lies that he almost believed it himself.
