The curtains were drawn.

Then he quietly left the convenience store.

His steps were light and quick.

Like a hunter in the dark,

Sneaking under the cover of night.

The lights in the convenience store gradually went out.

Shadows began to engulf the entire storefront.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window and onto the floor.

Golden light and the dust drifting slightly in the room

Mixed together,

It creates a quiet yet warm atmosphere.

Lin Chen sat on the bed,

Sitting cross-legged,

They were focused on engraving the "Spiral Diagram".

His clothes were soaked with sweat.

But he did not stop what he was doing.

His right hand was suspended in the air.

Fingertips trembled slightly.

047 seems to be outlining some hidden runes.

Lin Chen's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

But his gaze was unusually firm.

It's as if you want to merge your whole being into this ancient...

In the midst of cultivation.

The "Spiral Diagram" was imprinted on his spine.

Initial progress has been made.

This pattern is ancient and mysterious.

Legend has it that it contains boundless power and wisdom.

Lin Chen chose to have it engraved on his spine.

It's because he believes this is possible.

To maximize his internal strength and perception.

We're just waiting for everyone to arrive.

Hong Bin chewed on a fragrant steamed bun.

A satisfied look appeared in his eyes.

While saying:

"The breakfast here is fantastic."

Your home environment is also very pleasant.

The peace and quiet last night was also thanks to Lin Chen's arrangements.

It's truly refreshing!

Lin Chen put down his chopsticks.

Smile slightly:

Last night's arrangements were also to allow everyone to...

Relax completely.

Today's activities are about to begin.

Occasionally, he would look up at other people.

He clapped his hands gently:

"Everyone,

Next, we'll arrange the sparring session.

The arrangements for the exchange have been finalized.

After everyone finished eating,

We can begin now.

A hint of excitement flashed in Hong Bin's eyes.

He asked impatiently:

"So who is our opponent today?"

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Zhuge Qing nodded with a smile:

"Today's opponents are all exceptionally skilled cultivators."

You are free to express yourselves freely.

but,

When sparring, one should also be careful to control one's strength.

Ensure safety.

At this time,

Zhuge Bai stood up.

A hint of anticipation appeared on his face:

I also want to participate in the exchange.

However, I know my mental fortitude isn't strong enough.

This might affect everyone's game.

Brother Qing

you're right,

I'll just watch from the sidelines for now.

Zhuge Qing gently patted Zhuge Bai's shoulder.

The tone was gentle and concerned:

"Brother Bai,

Your mental fortitude definitely needs improvement.

but,

You can observe from the sidelines today.

Let's learn from everyone's skills.

I'm sure you'll make progress soon.

Everyone smiled.
