Chapter 269: Test
“I really wish the sword wouldn’t explode.”
“That’s right. Will other people’s blood work? My surna is Soan, too. Will my blood work?”
“In your dreams. Your Soan and theirs are totally different!”
“Do you think that blood thing is real? That sounds so surreal!”
“The sword is made of Martian rocks! Of course, it’s surreal! Science can’t explain everything!”
“The explanation ca from Mr. Himl Soan. You can doubt anyone but not him!”
“That’s right! Mr. Himl Soan has never lied to us! Every ti you questioned him, you only ended up embarrassing yourselves!”
“If Mr. Himl Soan says it’s only for the Soans, then it’s only for the Soans. They’re the ones who collected the rocks on Mars, and they’re the ones who forged the sword. What’s wrong with giving the sword to them?”
“That’s why they’re called Soanian Swords! They’re for the Soans!”
“...”
Anyone showing doubts toward Himl Soan would imdiately hear retorts. They would even list the previous events to prove that he only ever told the truth!
The public soon forgot about the event. After all, it was only a sword. A hundred swords didn’t sound too many either.
Another day passed.
......
The Himlians and the Himlian Village also received instructions from Himl Soan and left the arena. Imdiately after that, many of their mbers made breakthroughs.
Next, Drake, Liam, and Phoebe also made breakthroughs from the imnse pressure they had been under.
Drake was a senior Level-1 Golden Core cultivator, Liam was a junior, and Phoebe was sowhere between the Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core stages. Given so more ti, she would break through as well.
Himl Soan arrived at the arena. Seeing him, Firey imdiately ran to his side and took his hand.
“Good job,” Himl Soan nodded.
The three siblings were thrilled. They dropped to their knees and prostrated on the ground.
“Thank you, Patriarch!”
“Please get up. It’s Firey you should be thanking. Without her, you wouldn’t have made the breakthroughs so soon.”
“Yes! Thank you, kiddo!”
The three siblings thanked Firey. In terms of seniority, they had joined the Soans much earlier than her. But none of them was as close to the Patriarch as Firey.
They didn’t know how to address her. Was she their senior sister or junior sister?
Firey couldn’t care less. All she knew was her ordeal was finally over!
Yes!
The past few days had been an ordeal for her. It was so dull and uneventful. anwhile, she had to keep her energy at a steady level. It couldn’t have been harder!
It was finally over. Just like a child, she imdiately forgot about what she had gone through. Life was easy again!
She was free, and that was the best!
Himl Soan told the three siblings about his plan of sending hundred people to the Moonian army. Those people would co from the three divisions, so he thought they should know.
They needed to be aware of where their subordinates were going.
“Twenty-seven people have made breakthroughs and reached the Foundation Establishnt stage. Of them, six are from the Himlian Pavilion, twelve are from the Himlian Village, and nine are the Himlians.
“I’ve picked the other 73 people as well. Basically, they’ll be divided into four-mber teams, each with one team leader and three mbers.
“You’ll be teaching 27 people for the next few days, helping them learn how to manage people. It’ll do you good, too.
“You have two days. The portal will open on the third day!” said Himl Soan.
He talked about the portal like the most common thing. His words could cause a sensation anywhere else in the world.
People all over the world wanted to know when the portal would open, but he never gave a definite answer.
No one tried to rush him either. After all, the portal was said to be finished in three months. If things moved faster, it could open in a month.
It had been two weeks since then.
Although everybody was looking forward to it, no one tried to urge Himl Soan. The moon was still there, and they were in no danger. Completing the portal sooner wouldn’t make much difference.
Everything would be fine as long as the portal opened before the moon disappeared. Since Mr. Himl Soan had promised them, they had nothing to worry about.
...
“Patriarch, did you want to see ?” Warren knocked on the door, looking confused.
Himl Soan nodded. Warren only stepped into the room when he let him co in. Though he had no idea why he was here.
Fearing that he had done sothing wrong and that the Patriarch was going to scold him, Warren moved gingerly when he walked into the room.
Himl Soan didn’t say anything. It was normal to react in that way when he was around. Even if he told Warren to relax, the latter couldn’t.
It might even make things worse.
“Warren, you’re the head of the chamber of comrce. How are you doing?” Himl Soan asked.
Warren got nervous. He kept farming ideas in his head.
Was the Patriarch testing his capability? Or was he hinting that things could be better?
Nevertheless, he had to answer the question. He couldn’t think of anything appropriate to say, so he told the truth, “Now that Moon is the only country on Earth, we don’t have any obstacles. Things are doing well.
“It’s just that Earth is so big, and we don’t have the ti to…”
Warren felt uneasy after the report. He didn’t know if the Patriarch would find his work satisfactory.
He hoped he was. If he wasn’t, Warren couldn’t dare to think about the consequences.
