"Filthy riches", Fell thought as his eyes opened when he heard Spinters' words. They hadn't even won the tournament, and they had been offered quite valuable rewards. His rounded eyes glowed from surprise as he couldn't help but think about the monetary resources that Battle League's company must have amassed through the years, or maybe they were already filthy rich. His eyes flashed with clear greed that didn't go unnoticed by Spinters and Tahlya's sight, but they didn't think too much about it as they were also surprised when they learned more about the company behind Battle League. Not only was their goal grand, they even had the backers and resources to achieve it. Not even talking about Earth's own tournament, if Fell was aware of the resources available in the biggest contest of Battle League in the universe. He would have probably fainted from excitement.

"He seems to be quite the greedy one… Well, those are the easiest to deal with!", he thought as he saw Fell's reaction. With a swift movement from his hand, the chairman filled one of the glasses with the jar's content. The liquid was so potent that a milky cloud formed on the surface of the liquid, and a powerful smell extended all over the chairman's office. Tahlya's cheeks reddened after a few sniffs, and she felt her mind turn slightly sluggish. She didn't even take a sip from the liquid, but just from smelling its perfume she felt as if she was in the midst of intoxication. As for the chairman, when the odor hit his nostril he closed his eyes and let himself fall in the bliss of the liquid. "Powerful!", thought Fell as he saw the liquid's effect. Now that he could see the liquid through the transparent glass, he immediately noticed the potent Heaven and Earth energy that was contained in the liquor.

"This isn't something that should be drunk by mortals", he thought as he grabbed the glass that Tahlya was giving him. He approached the glass to his face and gazed at the milky clouds that circled in the surface of the liquid. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, part of the clouds separated in streams that passed through his nostrils. As soon as they entered his body, he was immediately shocked by the potency of the alcohol's energy. "Definitely not made for mortals.", he thought as he opened his eyes while his body circled the energy that coursed through his meridians. His lips approached the glass and he took a sip; his mind was instantly sent tumbling from the taste of the alcohol. He swore that never in his life had he tasted something this potent, and he felt as if his taste buds were under a powerful drug that amplified his senses. "Wine filled with heaven and earth energy.", he said after swallowing a mouthful of the liquid.

"You're right.", exclaimed Chairman Spinters as he followed Fell in his act. He dipped his lips in the glass and swallowed a small sip of the energy-filled wine. He trembled slightly under the effect of the liquid, and his eyelash trembled for a few seconds before it calmed down. "This effect is similar. No, dozens of times more powerful than Earth's drugs!", he thought as he saw the effect.


"Not only does it cleanse the body due to its medicinal components… But the effect the alcohol has on the mind is amplified beyond what it should normally be…", he thought while feeling the liquor effect on his mind. "Truly a saint's beverage. Cleansing the body and the soul with a single sip", Fell blurted while moving his wrist to make the liquid twirl inside of the glass.

He closed his mind and focused on his meridian, and he was shocked to notice that the energy was pure and didn't have any affinity. Making it join his energy base without any problem. Usually, cultivators needed to refine the energy through their meridian to make it their own. The process was long and would usually be important as it served as a mental branding on the heaven and earth energy, making it the cultivator's own energy. And sometimes, trouble could arise due to the energy being of a specific element, Little Gold's lightning element Heaven and Earth energy were a clear example of this. Thankfully in Fell's case, his energy wasn't part of any element and swiftly assimilated the affinities Little Gold had. In other cases, mixing two energy with repulsive elements might cause death; Yet in some legends in the universe, it was said that some cultivators had done the impossible such as refining energy that had the same property as water yet burned like fire.

"You're quite the knowledgeable youth.", exclaimed Spinters as he felt his mind reawaken from the high the liquor gave his mind. He gazed at Fell with a smile before continuing, "Knowledge that shouldn't be accessible to a nobody. And you clearly aren't a nobody… You are a cultivator, right?", he added while looking straight at Fell's eyes as if to gaze at his soul.

Fell didn't seem to be surprised at the question and simply nodded at the Chairman. Tahlya's eyes, on the contrary, were nearly falling out of their orbits, and her hand trembled slightly as she couldn't control her shock. "How didn't I notice??", she thought as she remembered the night where they celebrated his wins. "Are you a native to this city?", asked Spinters while taking another sip of the liquor.

Fell nodded yet another time before adding, "I'm from the Core.". His sentence was short but the length of their shock was beyond what he had expected, he could see that their reactions were different from when he had told them that he was a cultivator. And although it was for a split second, he noticed fear and incomprehension on their face but that was hidden quickly. He didn't take it at heart as he knew that their fears weren't unfounded.
