Chapter 175: Chapter 146: Seeing Yue Tianrui Again
Awakening Hall, training ground.
Fang Xiu followed Li Mu to an office.
The layout here was similar to the Awakening Hall.
However, the offices at the Awakening Hall were all underground.
But the training ground’s offices were located inside a tall building.
"The entrance is underground?" Fang Xiu asked.
Li Mu nodded slightly. "This building was actually constructed to suppress that place. If a Demon Beast were to truly break in, it would have to pass through this building."
"And since everyone here is an Awakened, they can intercept the Demon Beasts immediately?"
Fang Xiu smiled faintly, understanding what Li Mu meant.
After all, the training ground was connected to a Demon Beast Realm.
If Demon Beasts were to get through, they would undoubtedly pose a threat to the city.
By building this office tower on top of it, they could effectively suppress any invading Demon Beasts.
After all, seventy percent of the people who worked here were Awakened.
And not just any Awakened, but the stronger ones among them.
Take Li Mu, for instance. Although she was only Level 35, she possessed a Space Superpower.
If she utilized it properly, her combat strength would be no weaker than that of a Level 45 Awakened.
Space Awakeners were rare, after all.
Furthermore, the other Awakened here were all formidable as well.
Those who were too weak simply couldn’t work at the Awakening Hall.
At best, they would be sent to a branch hall in some other city.
Therefore, this was actually the safest place to be.
If even this place couldn’t hold, then the entire city could only wait for its destruction.
"However, this place is just a passage created with Space Ability. It’s equivalent to a Gate World jointly established by a group of Space Awakeners," Li Mu explained.
She then continued, "It connects to another plane, and that plane is the training ground. There are many Gate World Passages over there, but only one entrance connects to our side."
"Why not just get rid of the entrance? Wouldn’t that eliminate the danger of Demon Beasts entering the city?"
Fang Xiu had originally thought the training ground was just a space located beneath them.
’But now she’s saying it’s just a Gate World Passage constructed by Space Awakeners?’
This made Fang Xiu very curious. Why not just seal it off?
’If they just destroyed this constructed Gate World, wouldn’t that stop the Demon Beasts from getting in?’
"Don’t dam, but divert."
Li Mu only said four words.
Fang Xiu roughly understood.
If this Gate World Passage didn’t exist, the Demon Beasts would likely rampage aimlessly.
If one of them accidentally opened a new Gate World Passage,
it could very well appear anywhere in the world.
Moreover, the training ground was also connected to the Demon Beast Realm.
If Demon Beasts were to appear elsewhere, and a connection to the Demon Beast Realm formed there,
then no city would be able to withstand the resulting Demon Beast Attack.
Therefore, the existence of this Gate World Passage acted as a preventative measure. If Demon Beasts did appear, they would appear here, like lambs walking into a tiger’s den.
"Of course, it also serves as a training ground for the Awakened. You can kill Demon Beasts while also increasing your strength. The Spiritual Qi there is incredibly abundant, even richer than in any other Gate World."
Li Mu continued, "Furthermore, hunting Demon Beasts builds combat experience. For a powerful individual with a Talent like yours, it’s the best option."
"You don’t have to flatter me. You agreed to my conditions."
Fang Xiu still had to go to university.
After all, he needed to figure out exactly what that thing he could Sacrifice was.
If he got the chance, Fang Xiu planned to perform the Sacrifice.
"I know. University life is a pretty good experience, too!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "But for someone who’s already Level 26 like you, it probably won’t be that great of an experience!"
Fang Xiu: "..."
"Here, this is for you!"
Just then, Li Mu took out a box and handed it to Fang Xiu.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xiu took the box and opened it. "I thought we agreed I wouldn’t have to turn on my camera?"
"You don’t have to. I’m just returning this to you. There’s nothing wrong with your badge."
Li Mu replied with a smile.
"Okay."
Fang Xiu nodded, then thought of Ye Fan. "Is Ye Fan alright?"
In truth, Fang Xiu really hoped that nothing was wrong with Ye Fan.
After all, during their time together, aside from the fact that Ye Fan seemed to know a lot, there was nothing else particularly suspicious about him.
As long as he could explain why he didn’t turn on his camera after coming out of the Demon Beast Tombstone,
he should be fine.
Fang Xiu had always considered Ye Fan a friend.
He didn’t want to lose a friend.
"He’s still under investigation. There aren’t many leads. As for the specifics, I can only tell you once the investigation is complete," Li Mu said.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "Right."
Since she couldn’t say, Fang Xiu didn’t press the issue.
’I just hope Ye Fan is okay.’
"Let’s get going."
Li Mu could see that Fang Xiu’s mood had soured.
Although they had only spent four days together, Ye Fan had helped Fang Xiu quite a bit.
Fang Xiu was understandably a little dejected.
"Right."
This time, Fang Xiu didn’t say much else.
Whether Ye Fan was in trouble or not wasn’t up to him. He could only wait for the results.
He followed Li Mu into the elevator. Beside them stood Kajimi, who had already entered an Invisibility State.
Fortunately, the elevator didn’t display the number of occupants. Otherwise, since this was the only way down, Kajimi would have likely had to wait for the next trip and go by herself.
