"Brent, I miss you."
These simple seven words came through the Transmitter, and Bu felt as if the Girl was right beside him, softly expressing her longing. That blue hair like the sea, those clear and pure eyes were deeply imprinted in his heart, something that time and distance could not diminish.
"I'll be back soon." A smile appeared on Bu's lips. At this moment, he no longer thought about how to choose between Wendy and Eve. It would hurt one of them and leave him guilty for life.
"Boss, keep your wits about you. I'll notify Elena, Senior Sister, and Sean Sterling; they will definitely come to support you. By the way, do you remember Daisy?
Not long ago, she sneaked out while we were away, seemingly trying to leak your whereabouts to Day. However, Elena had already anticipated this move. Before bringing her back to the academy, she left a mental mark on her, just waiting for her to slip up.
Taking advantage of her unauthorized outing, Elena caught her right at the entrance of a reception area for Day and brought her back. After that, she placed several seals on her, and now she's much more obedient." Kalandor's voice echoed again in the Transmitter, rambling on.
"Daisy," Bu Shuang narrowed his eyes and sneered. "No need to inform Elena or Senior Sister; I have my own way to avoid Day's watchful eyes and return safely. Your movements are definitely being monitored by Day's members. After what happened with Daisy last time, they will surely divert some attention to you all. Don't let your guard down."
Putting away the Transmitter, Bu Shuang's gaze turned cold as he looked at Hong Lian. With a thought, he saw Hong Lian's body suddenly shrink into a strange lotus flower that seemed both real and illusory. Then a flash of Red Glow appeared, and this strange lotus flower transformed into a streak of light that vanished into his forehead.
If Bu were to look inward at this moment, he would see a peculiar lotus flower slowly rotating between reality and illusion at his forehead. As it spun, waves of immense Mental Power flowed into his mind, merging with his own Mental Power. The value of his Mental Power attribute surged sharply to 10 points at this moment.
"This feels great." Closing his eyes to sense the surroundings with his Mental Power, Bu smiled with excitement.
His current state was a sign of reaching soul synchronization with the Avatar. Just two days ago, during an attempt with Fuling Xinzhi, he successfully integrated Hong Lian into his body again deepening the connection between his main body and Avatar. He only needed to take one more step to break through that final barrier and firmly enter the realm of soul synchronization.
"Even though I haven't achieved true soul synchronization yet and can't fully merge with the Avatar to significantly enhance my combat power, this state is still quite good. At least I can utilize all of Hong Lian's Mental Power.
Moreover, in this state, it seems I've inherited Hong Lian's terrifying Qualification as an Earth Spirit, absorbing energy from the surroundings at a speed several times faster than before."
Suddenly opening his eyes wide, two beams of light shot forth from them as a terrifying aura erupted from him. This aura was so dense it seemed almost tangible; it felt as if the surrounding air was about to condense.
"Even if I can't temporarily merge with the Avatar, my strength has still increased tremendously in this state. If I truly fused with the Avatar, battling a High-Level Giant wouldn't be out of reach."
Clenching his fists tightly, Bu's eyes were filled with fiery fighting spirit and determination as he gazed toward the direction of the imperial capital. With a movement of his body, he vanished into the distance in just a few flashes.
Dysia Kingdom, Southern Gate of the Imperial Capital.
At this moment at the South City Gate, guards dressed in golden attire stood straight in line at every battlement position.
The guards, dressed in uniform attire, each bore a badge on their chests, a radiant sun that pierced through the clouds—Day.
With Day as their emblem, these guards were indeed members of one of the four Major Forces of Holy Light Academy—Day.
At the entrance of the city gate, there were also two teams of guards lined up, all adorned in golden attire embroidered with the Day emblem. Their sharp gazes and the energy waves emanating from them scrutinized every person entering or exiting the city.
As the Holy Light Academy prepared for the Path of Holy Light trials, such a grand event naturally attracted many eager spectators from all directions. Consequently, in recent days, the area around Holy Light Academy in the southern part of the imperial capital has been bustling with activity, with every inn fully booked and voices echoing everywhere.
Entering the imperial capital is not as simple as just passing through a city gate; first, one must go through the national protective formation that envelops the entire capital.
Each year, Dysia Kingdom issues two thousand Identity Tokens to major cities within its territory. These Identity Tokens are valid for one year, and only those holding an Identity Token can freely enter and exit the imperial capital.
Of course, these Identity Tokens are only effective for individuals who do not hold official positions and are not members of Holy Light Academy.
While two thousand Identity Tokens may seem like a lot, it is merely a drop in the bucket for a kingdom with a population exceeding one hundred million like Dysia Kingdom.
Almost every year, when the issuance of Identity Tokens occurs, countless wealthy merchants scramble to acquire them. Although it may seem that the function of an Identity Token is simply to enter and exit the capital, it is crucial to understand that being closer to power means having access to more reliable information channels.
Moreover, within the capital, those who come and go are either rich or noble, providing numerous opportunities compared to ordinary people. With all these advantages, anyone who is not completely oblivious to profit would certainly be interested.
For the Royal Family of Dysia, distributing two thousand Identity Tokens, which can be sold at a premium, fills their coffers handsomely. Such an easy way to profit is certainly appealing.
Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
The sound of hooves approached from afar. Looking over, several carriages gradually made their way along the official road. The drivers were skilled and dressed brightly, seemingly engaging in some form of competition among themselves.
A lazy Day Member at the city gate glanced toward the approaching carriages with a hint of disdain on his face and couldn't help but sneer, "A bunch of nouveau riche coming all this way with great effort, acting so proud. Do they really think that possessing a so-called Identity Token will allow them to turn their lives around?"
"Haha! From what you say, it seems there's a bit of envy there. What's wrong? Just because they're wealthy doesn't mean they can't be proud," teased a long-chinned Day Member beside him upon hearing his complaints.
Recently, members of Day had been quite miserable. They were constantly pressured by their leader to search for a new student named Brent. The entire Holy Light Academy had been turned upside down in this search; even many inns within the capital had been meticulously checked. After nearly a month without finding even a single hair belonging to that fellow, they faced their leader's gloomy expression daily. Almost every member assigned to this search mission was filled with pent-up frustration.
If it were just searching, it would be bearable since such matters wouldn't last long. However, due to an inability to find any clues recently, the intensity of their search had somewhat diminished. Yet soon after came news that left all members of Day utterly frustrated.
The Council of Elders issued a notice that due to the upcoming Holy Light Trial, a large number of people had come to observe the trial. To maintain public order in the imperial capital and around the academy, they specifically ordered the Day Member to form a guard team to watch over the city gates for half a month.
Watching over the city gates for half a month was not an appealing task. The moment Kaibo received the academy's notification, he nearly cursed out loud.
The other three Major Forces were either assigned to wander around the streets, occasionally taking breaks in taverns, or tasked with maintaining order within the academy, where they could at least enjoy some of the excitement of the trial. But when it came to his own group, they were stuck with the miserable job of guarding the city gates.
Guarding the city gates meant standing still without moving and upholding the sacred dignity of Holy Light Academy, which meant they couldn't engage in any actions that would tarnish the academy's reputation, such as harassing wealthy merchants entering the city for bribes.
In previous years, any faction assigned to guard the city gates would be mocked by the other three Major Forces because this task was considered extremely unlucky. Yet no faction dared to disobey the orders of the Council of Elders.
All four Major Forces belonged to the academy and were truly part of its power structure, collectively referred to as the Student Faction. Despite their strength, they had to comply with the academy and follow all decisions made by the Council of Elders.
For announcements like forming a guard team to maintain order in the southern region, the Council of Elders only needed to discuss and make a decision. The four Major Forces had to strictly adhere to these regulations. If they performed well, they might receive a lukewarm commendation from the elders; if not, they would have to go to Judgment Hall for punishment.
Aside from imperial soldiers, no one wanted to stand at the city gates for half a month, especially not those young elites who considered themselves exceptional among Holy Light Academy students. Kaibo had already bled his resources dry just to gently persuade a group of people into taking on this arduous task. Now he was filled with resentment towards Brent, whom he had never even met.
Kaibo believed that if it weren't for the energy and time spent searching for Brent, which had caused some discontent among his members, there might have been volunteers willing to step up for this unfortunate duty instead of him having to exhaust his resources just to reluctantly accept it. This loss would be blamed on that detestable Brent.
