Will's expression remained unchanged, "Why wouldn't I dare to co? Instead, it's you guys. When you were branded as national traitors, did you really not stay by Lister's side to comfort him?"
Calvin sneered, "Winning a few battles by exploiting information gaps made you think you're invincible, didn't it, Will? You were inferior to in the past; you still are now. As for you..."
His gaze fell on Bai Fu.
"A dead Saintess is a true Saintess, you..."
"Shush." Bai Fu extended her index finger and waved it, "Talking nonsense is useless. Defeat openly on the battlefield if you want to prove your power. Otherwise, the harsher you speak now, the more you'll resemble a clown. Aren't you a soldier? Don't you even understand this much?"
Calvin's face stiffened.
Bai Fu said, "If you're not convinced, you can send a challenge request now. I'll definitely not refuse."
Calvin's face darkened even more.
Challenge?
Only if he had a hole in his head would he challenge Bai Fu here.
Yuan Yi was holding a peace summit here. If he started a fight with Bai Fu right off the bat, not only would Yuan Yi tear him apart, but he'd also throw him straight out.
Fine, you've got a quick tongue that snatched my lines away.
Calvin had nothing else to say; continuing to mock would only make him look like a ridiculous pest.
He was just about to leave when he saw a few people from the Arcane Library coming out of a side door in the venue, walking directly towards him and Bai Fu.
This is bad.
Had his mocking words been overheard and offended Yuan Yi?
Calvin beca incredibly nervous; his mind whirled as he pondered his strategies.
"Just..."
He opened his mouth, only speaking three words when he realized the people from the Arcane Library simply walked past him.
Calvin: "..."
They didn't glance at him at all. They weren't even there for him. He really turned himself into a self-conscious clown.
Calvin's face turned red from holding back.
Even so, he still didn't leave, wanting to hear why the Arcane Library people were looking for Bai Fu.
"Saintess Bai Fu, Lord Manager has sent us to deliver a gift to you."
"A gift?"
Bai Fu, as well as everyone else in the venue, were all stunned. They hadn't expected such a turn of events.
Dozens of gazes focused on the Arcane Library person's hands, only to see him pulling out a miniaturized encrypted data storage device.
"Herein lies the Spiritual Energy Advanced Knowledge collected by Lord Manager, which should ease your path toward becoming a Dominator by half."
What?
Bai Fu's pupils slightly narrowed.
[A data storage device containing "Dominator Level Spiritual Energy Advanced Knowledge"]
This line hovered before her eyes.
She was only here to gather intelligence, unexpecting such a grand gift. What exactly was Yuan Yi's motive?
A trap or sothing else?
Bai Fu was hesitant to accept it for a mont.
The person from the Arcane Library smiled, "This is a no-strings-attached gift, Saintess Bai Fu. Please rest assured and accept it. Lord Manager has no other intentions; he simply admires your Talent. Over the past years, Lord Manager has sponsored many Superpower Users. You're not the first, and you certainly won't be the last."
After thinking it over, Bai Fu accepted the Advanced Knowledge.
Rejecting here would an she might have to seek similar Advanced Knowledge from a Cosmic Civilization should she need it again, which was not an easy path.
"Please thank the Manager for ."
The Arcane Library person nodded with a smile, "I will convey that to Lord Manager, Saintess Bai Fu. We won't disturb you any further, have a pleasant mood."
With that, the group turned and left.
As soon as they departed, the venue burst into quiet whispers.
Calvin felt like his throat was choked, squeezing him uncomfortably.
Bai Fu, admired by both the Oath Lord and the Arcane Library Manager?
This was absolutely dreadful news for them. Perhaps, they must eliminate Bai Fu soon; if they delayed, she might beco too strong to contain.
Having received the Advanced Knowledge, Bai Fu didn't linger much in the venue; after bidding farewell to Will, she hurried to her room.
Once inside, she couldn't wait to use her communicator to read the data from the storage device.
["Apostle's Path (Dominator Level Spiritual Energy Advanced Knowledge)", read?]
Read!
The progress bar began its slow climb.
...
anwhile, at the sa ti.
Top floor of the Arcane Library.
Yuan Yi received a report that the gift had been delivered.
Ranie, who had been puzzled for a long ti, finally couldn't help himself. He admitted Bai Fu's Talent was indeed great, her war achievents exceptional, but he just couldn't understand why his ntor valued her so much.
"Are you puzzled?"
Ranie nodded vigorously.
Yuan Yi smiled, "That's because you haven't reached that level yet. But it won't be too long; a few more years and you'll understand, even without explaining. I value Bai Fu not only because her Talent is exceptional but also because she might be a Seeker."
"A Seeker?"
Ranie was confused, but Yuan Yi showed no intention of explaining. He changed the subject.
"Has everyone who received an invitation arrived?"
Ranie perked up, "Lupus and the Supernova Battle Group haven't arrived yet, but based on their ssages from not long ago, they should be close."
Yuan Yi stood up and walked to the enormous floor-to-ceiling window.
"Let take a close look at who the Ten Saints Association has parasitized."
The primary purpose of this eting was to see who had colluded with the Ten Saints Association.
The Ten Saints Association and his organization were mortal enemies; in fact, the Ten Saints Association was an enemy to most powers because its mbers are lunatics, with so even mad enough to destroy the world, pulling everyone down with them.
Upon sensing that the Ten Saints Association might have infiltrated the Edge World, he beca instantly alert.
It's intolerable for the enemy to rest by one's side.
Not just the Ten Saints Association, any other inscrutable powers were unacceptable. After all, he had his own objectives to consider.
