Fang Xiu addressed the group, saying, "I plan to lead a team to explore the Land Between. As the Specter invasion speeds up, the seal on the Land Between will weaken over ti. We need to prepare in advance. Additionally, if my theory is correct, the unique properties of the Land Between might allow soone to break through to the fifth tier."
"What? Break through to the fifth tier?!" Li Xiaoru and the others imdiately perked up, their eyes glowing with excitent.
Fang Xiu nodded. "Exactly. The Land Between is the boundary between the present world and the Other Side. The concentration of Specter energy there is far higher than in our world.
"At this stage, achieving a fifth-tier breakthrough in the present world would require trendous effort and careful planning. But in the Land Between, there's no such limit to reaching the fifth tier."
"When are we leaving? Xiu, I'll go with you!" Li Xiaoru stepped forward without hesitation. He had been stuck at the peak of the fourth tier for far too long. If not for the low Specter concentration in the present world, he would have broken through already.
Xiong Tianguang and the others quickly voiced their willingness to join. The chance to grow stronger was irresistible.
After their encounter with Joker, they had all co to understand the overwhelming power of the fifth tier.
"We leave tonight. The eting point is Platform 18 at the train station on the west side of the town," Fang Xiu stated.
Hearing "train station," Xiao Chuxia seed to catch on. She quickly asked, "Xiu, do you an the Specter Train we encountered before?"
Fang Xiu calmly confird, "Exactly. The Specter Train. It has five stops in total, and the final destination is the Land Between."
He continued, "I've already planned this mission. Aside from Fang Moli, all the other captains, along with Yang Ming and Xiao Chuxia, will accompany to the Land Between. Fang Moli, you'll stay at headquarters. Your responsibility will be to monitor the nations and ensure the smooth operation of the National Psychic Program."
At the ntion of "monitoring the nations," Fang Moli's spirits visibly lifted. Ever since he missed his chance to speak during the global livestream, he had been eager for an opportunity to assert his influence.
Despite his internal joy, his face remained composed and indifferent. He responded with a brief hum of acknowledgnt, as though reluctantly agreeing.
After all, he still held a grudge against Fang Xiu for using his authority for personal reasons during their previous mission.
At that mont, the Director spoke up. "Fang Xiu, since the Specter energy in the Land Between is far higher than in the present world and can help psychics break through to the fifth tier, it must also be an excellent place for lower-tier psychics to improve.
"With you leading the team and the captains providing protection, why not bring along a few promising newcors? It could serve as both a trial and an opportunity for growth."
The Director's suggestion was clearly aid at strengthening headquarters. He reasoned that if Fang Xiu was confident enough to lead the mission, there must be a level of safety involved. With the captains' support, this could be a golden chance for developnt.
However, Fang Xiu shook his head. "The minimum requirent for entering the Land Between is the fourth tier. Fourth-tier psychics have Domains to shield them, which can resist the corrosive gray mist in the Land Between. Anyone below the fourth tier would be walking to their death."
As soon as Fang Xiu finished, Yang Ming and Xiao Chuxia spoke up almost simultaneously.
"Xiu, I sustained so hidden injuries during the last battle. The doctors advised to rest."
"Xiu, my Spiritual Energy has been unstable lately. It feels like it's on the verge of losing control. I'm not suited for such a dangerous mission."
Fang Xiu cast a cold, piercing look at both of them. "You're both coming. Especially you, Yang Ming. Not only will you go, but you'll also bring along so antiques. The dense Specter energy in the Land Between greatly increases the likelihood of successfully nurturing Spiritual Gadgets."
