"Chad, tell me the truth. Did you kill these three second-star Awakened from Ngama? or did they escape?" Dolores looked at Chad seriously, seeking final confirmation. Chad confirmed helplessly in response. He had already said it. Why didn't Dolores believe him?!
Dolores's delicate frame shook imperceptibly, and her large eyes, adorned with pink and purple eyeshadow, stared deeply at Chad for a moment, as if she needed to reacquaint herself with him.
Chad suddenly recalled that when those Ngama invaders were shouting, they mentioned that the sixth zone would definitely appear in Ngama. Were the eerie zones not naturally occurring? Chad shared his doubts with Dolores.
Dolores tucked her hair behind her ears and chuckled lightly. "You're mistaken. The initial eerie zones did indeed appear naturally. But as the eerie mist developed, higher-level zones gradually emerged. If it's the highest-level eerie zone, we need to traverse the eerie mist to have a certain chance of obtaining a token fragment. The process is extremely perilous. We must clear all the Eerie Beings in the entire eerie mist. Once we collect a hundred token fragments, we can unlock a higher-level eerie zone." Dolores explained all this in one breath.
Chad was stunned for a long time after hearing this. "According to you, the birth of the second zone was due to collecting a hundred fragments in the first zone… If the same logic applies, to unlock the sixth zone, wouldn't we need to clear the eerie mist of the fifth zone a hundred times?" Chad marveled slightly in his heart. Wait! It was not just a hundred times. Not every time they cleared the mist would a fragment appear. For example, Chad hadn't received one last time.
"That's too hard, isn't it?" After understanding, Chad clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Dolores smiled gracefully and patted his shoulder, saying, "It is very difficult, but the resources there are more abundant! Whoever possesses the sixth zone controls the initiative of the highest-level resources. For this reason, all countries in the world openly and secretly compete, scheming against each other, and conflicts never cease. It's a battle among top-stage Awakened, and even more so, a battlefield for Heaven-level experts. We… shouldn't worry too much!"
Dolores's words struck a chord in Chad's heart. A battlefield for Heaven-level experts… He was still just a little noob who had recently entered the second star. Why worry so much? He shook his head and smiled, then returned with Dolores.
This operation successfully rescued all the Awakened from the association. It also thwarted Ngama's conspiracy. Most importantly, Chad found that after exerting his full effort to unleash his Ghost form, his control over Hellfire had become more proficient! Even the fusion degree had increased by two percentage points!
[Congratulations, host, for improving your proficiency. Reward: increased fusion degree with the Ghost Rider template!]
[Congratulations, host, for unlocking a new skill: Soul Chain!]
[Current template fusion degree: 7%]
Soul Chain! With just a thought in his mind, a chain with a silver-white metallic luster quietly floated in front of Chad. [Note: Soul Chain, binds souls and spirits, pierces the invisible.] A brief note indicated the power of this Soul Chain.
Chad wrapped it around his shoulder, and Hellfire emerged. Both he and the chain were enveloped in the flames of ghosts from Hell. "Meow~!" Suddenly, a cat's meow came from the ceiling. Chad turned and saw a wild cat, pacing elegantly and approaching cautiously.
"Let me use you for an experiment!" Chad aimed his gaze at the cat, and the chain on his body instantly flew out. In the blink of an eye, it bound the agile cat into a ball. And… Chad felt that with just a thought, he could pull out the cat's soul at any moment. In other words, Chad could use the Soul Chain to deal with enemies without physical forms!
"I remember, invisible eeries only start appearing from the third zone…" Invisible eeries were not just simple because they had no physical form. They were elusive, powerful, and very tricky. Apart from a very few special abilities, human Awakened had no way to deal with them.
On the other side, in the fifth-floor office of the Spiritual Energy Association, Dolores was discussing the work related to the previous operation with Rayne. "This is the full process report I compiled for the previous operation. Except for the brief minute or so when Chad was pursuing them alone, all other details are included."
"Hmm." Rayne took the file and lightly hummed in response. "For this rescue operation, we suffered from inadequate preparation and acted hastily. If it weren't for Chad, perhaps all the Awakened from Aumabiai, including me, would have died there! Moreover, I think Chad is not an ordinary person. He's a genius! A genius among ten thousand! Geniuses need an environment suitable for their growth. We need to give him challenges so that he can grow!"
Dolores took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I propose sending Chad to the second zone!" The danger of that day's operation only struck her after returning. It could be said that without Chad, she might have had to…
Chad's achievement of killing three second-star Awakened in a minute, as well as that terrifying flame, made her firmly believe that Chad was definitely a genius far beyond their imagination! Staying in the first zone was too wasteful!
"Hmm, I see." Rayne listened quietly to Dolores's words but responded indifferently. Dolores's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say much. So she took out another file. "This is Chad's information. I'll trouble you with the matter of transferring Chad to the second zone."
After handing Chad's information to Rayne, Dolores left the office. Recommending talents and transferring zones were always the president's responsibilities. As the vice president, her role was only to nominate.
Clang! After the door closed, Rayne flipped his eyelids and casually glanced at Chad's information twice, his expression remaining neutral. He chuckled lightly and placed this document at the bottom of the drawer. "Just a slightly capable hothead. Although talented, he's still somewhat distant from being a super genius who can cross zones." Rayne shook his head and began to handle other work. As for Chad's information, it was completely withheld by him. Rayne thought that an ordinary genius with insufficient abilities entering the second zone, where it started at the third star, would easily result in death.
