The murderous intent of Fierce suddenly surged, only to vanish in an instant, like an illusion, leaving those nearby completely unaware.
Xiar seemed oblivious to his serious expression as he took a sip of the light red wine and continued, "Thank you for your help earlier. It allowed me to become Mr. Gafiel's student and also introduced me to Mr. Bean, which helped me join the Enforcement Team. Your assistance has been invaluable, so if you need anything, just let me know."
"There's no need for that; I'm merely repaying a debt of gratitude," Leslie replied hastily. "By the way, I just remembered something I need to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." He stood up quickly and left without waiting for a response.
Xiar paid him no mind and continued to sit there, leisurely savoring his wine while his gaze lazily drifted around the surroundings.
The soft orange light illuminated the space; it was already evening.
Many people arrived here, weary from their day, seeking some leisure.
This tavern resembled the bars on Aqua Star, offering excellent service and a variety of rare wines for tasting. Most of these were brewed using valuable medicinal herbs that could nourish the drinkers' bodies.
Additionally, there were even more expensive medicinal wines that could enhance mental strength, but their high costs kept many from indulging.
Since arriving in this world, Xiar had grown increasingly averse to drinking.
For him, alcohol dulled his senses, and as someone striving to be a great Spirit Master, he preferred to treat it as an occasional pastime.
After leaving the tavern, Xiar walked slowly along a path that cut through a grove of trees.
Buzz!
The sound of flapping wings emerged as a bug the size of a fingernail fell from the sky and landed on his hand.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that this bug resembled an ordinary Gray Moth but was entirely transparent, even its blood was multicolored and transparent; it would have been nearly impossible to spot if it hadn't landed right in front of him.
This was a new type of Totem Beast he had cultivated, using an inheritance factor from a certain transparent fish found in the sea grafted onto a moth species. After some modifications, it had transformed into its current form.
He successfully transformed his accumulated knowledge and experience into a survival structure resembling a swarm, where a single Queen Bug breeds all the offspring and controls their movements.
There aren't many creatures with psychic abilities, but they are not impossible to obtain. The biggest issue with this type of totem is that it consumes too much energy to cultivate, making it unsustainable for the vast majority of Spirit Masters.
Moreover, before the Ultimate Evolution, the difference in combat power between psychic totems and others was not very pronounced; many totems could defend against their attacks.
The creature cultivated by Xiar was named Invisibility Moth. It was specifically bred as a spy to gather intelligence, capable of tracking Tier Three Experts from a distance without being detected.
It usually resides on the trees within the academy, feeding on tender leaves and buds, making it a cost-effective option.
However, its drawbacks were evident; it couldn't capture real-time footage like a camera and could only relay fragmented visual information.
After all, it only carried a miniature version of Shared Eye, and the fact that it could share so much without collapsing was already fortunate.
Yet, quality was not enough when quantity could compensate. He cultivated thousands of them, densely populating every corner of the academy.
When he wanted to view the footage for tracking purposes, he would channel the powerful psychic energy of Firefly and Kerrigan into himself, transforming his brain into a highly efficient processor capable of summarizing and processing thousands of images to find what he needed.
For Spirit Masters, psychic strength is akin to a computer's CPU; it's the core used for processing all calculations and manipulations.
With the enhancement from the two psychic totems, his psychic strength could temporarily exceed zero, allowing him to efficiently process numerous visual inputs.
In previous observations, Xiar discovered several experimental sites related to the Absolute Warrior Evolution Project and inferred their experimental sequence, leading him to develop a series of plans.

In the eastern part of the academy, in an ordinary hilly area overgrown with dense wild bushes, some reaching heights of two to three meters, various insects buzzed and flew about.
Moments later, a strong and burly figure arrived, seemingly oblivious as he passed through the thorns. When he emerged, not a single scratch marred his body, as if the thorns were merely air.
His speed was astonishing, carving a path as he followed an inexplicable sensation to the bottom of a valley.
However, there was nothing left here—only a chaotic battlefield that had suffered devastating destruction, as if some behemoth had engaged in a life-and-death struggle.
Bloodstains were scattered across the ground, and nothing else remained.
He crouched down and carefully retrieved a glass vial to collect the bloodstains, then meticulously searched the surrounding area. After confirming there were no further discoveries, he retraced his steps.
On his way back, he spotted a familiar group seated on a Totoro Bus, hurrying past. Striding forward, he blocked their path and commanded, "Stop!"
Meow!
The Totoro sensed his formidable aura and instantly transformed into an ordinary cat, letting out a pleasing meow as it lowered its head submissively to the ground, seemingly waiting for him to approach and pet it.
"Mr. Leslie, what can I do for you?" A man in a black robe stepped down from the bus, looking at him coldly.
"What mission are you all undertaking?" Leslie asked straightforwardly.
"Sorry, you have no right to inquire."
Leslie replied calmly, "I am one of the council members and have the authority to question many matters concerning the academy. You say I have no right?"
"Apologies, but we report directly to the Council. You have no authority over our actions. If you have questions, you may ask Council members Bean or George," the man responded without yielding. Despite Leslie's increasingly fierce pressure, he remained composed and indifferent to the threat.
"Very well, I will seek clarification!"
Leslie gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to act as he allowed the other person to leave, his brow furrowed in concern.
Earlier, he had sensed an inexplicable presence above him that stirred something instinctual within him, prompting him to intervene recklessly.
However, he knew he was not in a position to confront the Council. Without certainty, he would not act impulsively.
What was that sensation?
Leslie found it hard to describe; it felt like something familiar, a sense of closeness that seemed to emanate from his Bloodline, drawing him nearer.
He paused for a moment before leaving the area and heading toward the southern gate of the academy.
Half an hour later, on a street outside the academy, that familiar delicate figure appeared, standing by the roadside and waving at him repeatedly. "Over here! Over here!"
A hint of softness appeared on his otherwise stern face as he walked toward her—only this person could bring a smile to his lips.
"Let's go. I have some time now; I'll keep you company for a while." He reached out and took her hand as they began to walk away together.
Just then, a Totoro Bus passed by, and Leslie stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed intently on one figure aboard the vehicle!
That person looked exactly like him!
