"No matter how much you improve, you will never surpass the threshold of High-Level. Even your elder brother, despite his current strength being only at Intermediate Level 5, is still significantly weaker when faced with a High-Level Giant who has cultivated the Sea of Consciousness. Below High-Level, everyone is like ants; this is not just an empty claim."
Bu's comforting words did not alleviate Eve's worries; instead, they deepened the concern reflected in her beautiful eyes. The affection and care in her gaze could soften even the hardest steel.
Bu Xin felt warmth in his heart as he shook his head and held Eve tightly, smiling as he said, "I understand your feelings, but now that we are in this situation, hiding away might bring temporary peace, but it is not a long-term solution. My friends are also in dire straits."
"Don't worry. My elder brother was able to kill Byron, who was at the peak of Intermediate Level 5, even while severely injured and with only forty-eight Acupoints left. Now that he has recovered from his injuries, he has surpassed his previous self and opened up one hundred sixty-seven Acupoints."
"With such strength, even if he cannot contend with Kaibo, he should have no trouble protecting himself."
Bu's words were merely self-deception; Eve knew he was trying to comfort her, and she fell silent for a moment.
The difference in strength between a High-Level Warrior and a Mid-Level Warrior is like the gap between heaven and earth. One is a martial arts giant who has cultivated the Sea of Consciousness, while the other is still an apprentice trying to grasp energy. This vast difference in realms cannot be bridged simply by external factors or the so-called intensity of energy.
Even a High-Level Giant without any energy can easily defeat a Mid-Level Level 5 warrior using only their spiritual power.
This is a difference in quality versus quantity. A Mid-Level Warrior lacks both the strength of a High-Level Warrior in terms of energy and the powerful spiritual awareness that serves as a deadly weapon; what can they use to compete?
Seasons cycle and day turns to night, yet within the Black Abyss Ravine, thick fog lingers year-round, preventing even the brightest sunlight from fully penetrating.
Here, there is no distinction between day and night; if there is one, it is based on the adventurers who have stayed here for years relying on their senses to judge temperature changes.
When the humidity in the mountains lessens and the fog begins to disperse, Bu and Eve slowly open their eyes from meditation. Their palms pressed together, strands of Water Energy swirl around them as beams of light from the formation shine up from the ground to illuminate the cave filled with mist, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
Thanks to some unique methods employed by Eve over twenty years ago, what was once a cave filled with a strong stench has transformed into a fragrant haven. The area where they rest is covered with soft and luxurious fur from rare beasts, accompanied by calming dragon's saliva incense that greatly improves their living environment.
"Ah!" Bu sighed deeply as he rose from meditation and stretched his body.
At this moment, he wore a blue robe resembling that of a scholar. His black hair was casually tied back with a grass rope. His eyes sparkled with brilliance, giving him an air of carefree elegance.
This scholarly attire was part of an Excellence Level set stored within Bernie's Storage Bracelet. Although slightly oversized on him, it fit well enough overall. The Amplification Equipment had good attributes and was comparable to his previously intact Destruction Set; its enchanted skills were quite practical, which made Bu very fond of it.
"We're about to part ways," Eve said as she gazed at Bu's face. She stood up abruptly and hugged him tightly, her murmured words filled with reluctance.
Before meeting Bu, although Eve had roamed extensively within the Mercenary world and received admiration from countless young heroes, none had ever captured her heart.
Though she bore the title of Colorful Rose and interacted with others freely and charmingly, all of this was merely a facade she presented to the world. As the Captain of a Mercenary group, she carried heavy responsibilities; balancing strength and adaptability required her to find just the right equilibrium.
She never thought she would give herself for the first time to a man she had known for less than a year. But when love truly arrived, she could not resist the temptation that no one in the world can escape, nor could she resist the wonderful feeling that the gods referred to as forbidden fruit.
Until she truly gave everything to someone, she had not thought much about it; there was only one idea in her mind: she was willing to do so, even if it meant not attaining ultimate happiness.
Her emotional nature represented a lack of rationality in the face of love; she was merely blind to it. Yet, such a woman, seemingly reckless and foolish, is the most passionate and sincere person.
No matter how cunning or skilled she might be, once she truly fell in love with someone, she was willing to cast aside all trivialities, not caring about gains or losses, solely for the heart of one person, seeking neither eternal companionship nor questioning separation.
After returning the Bear Cave to the two clever Old Bears, Hong Lian led the way ahead while Eve and Bu held hands behind her, leaving this warm home they had shared for over twenty years.
Bu would return to the Black Abyss Ravine, not only because of the tasks assigned by the old monster in Water Moon Cave and Myriad Law Palace but also due to the strange summons from Crimson Prairie.
Both places were shrouded in mystery and the unknown. What exactly caused the statue of a suspected transcendent king to be sealed in Water Moon Cave? And what lay within the lifeless Crimson Prairie that silently called out to him? Only when his strength grew stronger would he explore whether there was any connection between these two places.
As they exited the valley of Black Abyss Ravine, the thick mist dissipated. The warm sunlight of early spring bathed them, bringing a sense of vitality.
Bu squinted his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. After living in Black Abyss Ravine for nearly a month, he felt somewhat unaccustomed to regaining light and clarity.
"Bu," Eve gently tugged at his hand, her eyelids drooping as she appeared listless.
"Remember to come visit me in White Sparrow City if you can, if Sister Wendy is willing to accept me."
Her soft voice echoed by the valley's entrance, accompanied by a gentle breeze. A strand of dark purple hair danced onto Bu's cheek, bringing with it a hint of fragrance and a tingling sensation.
Bu turned around and gazed seriously into Eve's eyes. His gaze held determination and responsibility. At that moment, no words were needed; a solemn nod conveyed his unspoken promise. This promise required no words; it was clear between them.
"I'm leaving." Eve felt a slight sting in her nose; this somewhat embarrassing feeling annoyed her. In that instant, she tightly embraced Bu, pressing her warm lips against his mouth without caring about Hong Lian beside them. Like a delicate snake, her tongue slipped into Bu's mouth as they kissed passionately.
After a long while, their lips parted. Bu's face bore signs of redness and swelling with traces of blood. Eve smiled sweetly as she released her grip on him. Two lines of tears slid down her beautiful cheeks.
She laughed and cried while tenderly caressing Bu's face for a moment before resolutely turning away. Her figure did not look back; her tears fell to the ground and soaked into the soil. The lingering fragrance of the girl beside Bu seemed to symbolize her feelings—hard to earn but irrevocably given once offered!
"I never realized she had such bad habits—daring to bite my lip before leaving." He touched his still-painful lips and noticed blood on his fingers. Bu smiled wryly; within that bitter smile lay both affection for Eve and exasperation at her nonsensical actions.
Until he watched Eve's distant figure disappear from sight, Bu shook his head and dismissed the slight gloom caused by their separation. He took out the Transmitter from his Storage Bracelet and contacted Reynold.
"Are you out already?" Reynold seemed to have known Bu's intentions all along and directly asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Well, I'm preparing to return to the academy now. Tell me about the recent movements of Day," Bu said with a somewhat serious expression.
"According to the information gathered by Locke and Ivan, Day's search for you has significantly decreased recently. It seems that after more than twenty attempts without finding any news about you, some members of Day are starting to become impatient."
"Although Kaibo is the leader of Day, it is still an organization within the academy, and most of its members are students from the academy. He has to consider the feelings of these students. Having not found you for such a long time has already wasted a lot of valuable training time for them. If this leads to instability among the members and gives the other three forces an opportunity to undermine us, it would be a significant loss."
Reynold's voice seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude, which surprised Bu, who understood his character well.
"Having not found me for so long and now needing to care for the emotions of the organization’s members, Kaibo must be feeling quite unwilling. He is about to lose control," Bu frowned and reminded Reynold.
"You don't need to worry as long as we stay within the academy. Even if he is a Star Student, he wouldn't dare do anything to us; at most, he would just face some difficulties," Reynold said, feeling warm inside as he understood Bu's meaning. He laughed heartily, indicating that he was unbothered.
"Hey, boss, you can take your time at the Outer Gate and don't rush back. I'll participate in the Path of Holy Light trial on your behalf," Kalandor's familiar voice suddenly interjected.
Bu smiled and was about to respond when a gentle and melodious female voice suddenly came from the Transmitter, interrupting him.
"Brent, I miss you."
