In the Mental Realm.

Su Lu, wandering within, suddenly froze.

He lifted his head, looking above the sea of consciousness.

In that sky, an additional pair of eyes had somehow appeared.

Those eyes were bright and clear, but devoid of any emotion, simply staring at him with wooden indifference.

A sensation of death gradually spread.

“It’s the dream realm again! A subconscious warning… Wake me up!”

Su Lu uttered softly, his eyes flicking open, “It’s Beryl…has her strength increased?”

He had previously mastered the technique of sealing his mind through continuous practice to avoid detection, named as ‘Mind Seal Skill’!

Originally, he could completely block Beryl’s prying eyes.

But just now, there were signs that the Mind Seal Skill was about to be breached!

“This situation… only suggests one thing; Beryl has become stronger again and… she has detected that my Professional Rank is much lower than hers.

She’s preparing to forcefully probe, or even curse me?”

Looking at the experience points in his attribute bar, Su Lu smirked silently.

This was the big pit he had intentionally dug for Beryl, waiting to bury someone in it.

What he was guarding against was precisely the current situation.

‘Even though I can level up now and definitely make her retreat in difficulty, but is that enough?’

Su Lu gritted his teeth, he wasn’t just going to back down. He planned to utilize the effect of the master-servant contract and the advantage of the Mental Realm to give her a lesson she’d remember for a lifetime.

Three days later.

Silent Forest.

The once desolate restricted area was now filled with Transcendents.

Around the wire fence, makeshift tents were visible everywhere, erected by Transcendents who had received the news and spontaneously organized their journey here.

With a sweep of the outer periphery, Su Lu spotted several marks.

For instance, those who had a clenched fist in blood were from the Blood

Brotherhood. Those with an eagle head were from the Dark Eagle Alliance.

Of course, there were also members of the Church of Light and The Eleventh

Bureau.

In addition, there were even more in number, scattered Wild Transcendents.

When Su Lu returned to this forbidden land, he almost thought he had arrived in a marketplace.

Admittedly, looking at so many ‘audiences’ for the ‘script’ he had personally directed filled him with pride.

At this moment, he was dressed in a dark trench coat, posing as a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, exuding a cold temperament.

This was his disguise as an ordinary second order Transcendent, approaching the area.

“There are so many people…”

Coming to the side with more tents and more chaos, Su Lu laughed.

“Absolutely… after all, it involves the treasure of the Gaosuo ancestors which has been confirmed to be real…”

An Occupational Person suddenly approached from the side.

He was dressed very avant-garde, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and bell-bottom trousers, with a green snake-shaped tattoo on his arm. He came up to Su Lu openly and introduced himself, “My name is Mundo, from the Ten-fist Association. And you?”

“Bellu, just an individual!”

Su Lu glanced around, “Why… are there so many Transcendents here?”

“The treasure of the Gaosuo people is just one aspect… The Church and The Eleventh Bureau perhaps want to trace Gered’s whereabouts, he’s very likely to be attracted over… and some Transcendents just want to watch the excitement or pick up a bargain… After all, there are likely items left behind by past powerful people in that ancient house.” Mundo clarified for Su Lu. “This really is… fearless of death!”

Su Lu was somewhat amazed.

The horror of the Demon house annihilated even second-order Occupational Persons instantly.

Although it had been severely damaged at this point, who gave these Occupational Persons such courage?

“Who knows…” Mundo shrugged, “Anyway, we’re just here to watch the show… The real main forces are the Church and the Federation, look, they even dispatched Bishop Hughes and Harris.”

Su Lu looked over and saw two Occupational Persons crossing the fence and entering the scope of the Silent Forest.

‘Some familiar aura… could it be someone I saw in the black market?’

“Hey… If you don’t have anywhere else to go, how about considering joining us?” At this point, Mundo extended an invitation to Su Lu, “Our Ten-fist Association is a very liberal and enlightened organization. We value helping each other among members and there’s no strong binding.”

It was clear that he wanted to woo Su Lu.

After all, those who dared to come here were the elites among Occupational Persons, mostly above the 2nd Professional Rank.

“Thank you… but I need to think.”

Su Lu’s plan was originally just to draw a group of greedy people here to serve as cannon fodder.

But he didn’t expect the power of the treasure, or the aberration of the ancient house to attract even more Transcendents.

‘I hope no innocents get hurt… but most of those who come here are probably people greedy for treasure, right? Walking into a dead end out of greed…

perhaps they can only blame themselves…’

Su Lu speculated wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he accepted Mundo’s kindness and moved to a tent area.

“This is our Ten-fist Association’s area! Come, let me introduce you to the other friends!”

Mundo enthusiastically introduced the others to Su Lu.

At this point, seven or eight people were sitting around a campfire, forming a circle.

“This is our club president — Rafael! Next to him is ‘Seagull’ Kole…”

“As for the few to the right, they are lone rangers just like you, temporarily joining our camp. This one is Hulk, and next to him is Bounty Hunter — Geli!” Su Lu’s eyes passed over each one, nodding in acknowledgment.

When he saw Geli, his expression remained unchanged, and he directly swept past her.

He no longer looked like the young man he once was, if Geli could recognize him, it would be a miracle.

Moreover, the female bounty hunter at the moment seemed a little haggard, as if she hadn’t slept well for a long time.

Ever since he notified her last time that her teacher might be unfortunately lost, and he had left the inheritance behind, Su Lu had not contacted this female bounty hunter anymore.

Looking at her now, it seems that she had entered a state of revenge, crazily tracing everything related to Gered.

“Welcome, Bellu!”

At this point, Rafael, the hulking white club president of the Ten-fist Association, stood up, saying very familiarly, “With your joining, we have one more strength!”

Transcendents also valued power.

The Federation and Church undoubtedly ranked first, the Blood Brotherhood, and Dark Eagle Alliance were the second echelon, the remaining small organizations and lone rangers although in large numbers were only at the bottom in terms of strength.

In the case of this temporary union, it was merely to increase their say.

Su Lu agreed with a smile on his face, then sat to one side and silently observed.

Before him, messages were being continuously received.

“After the investigation by The Eleventh Bureau and Bishop Hughes, it has been confirmed that the terror in the Silent Forest has been weakened… an attempt to break into the ancient house can be made!”

“The specific time is set for tomorrow noon!”

After hearing this intelligence, Rafael, the club president of the Ten -fist Association, immediately became restless and took the initiative to negotiate with other camps..
