Death… And Me

Chapter 998 - I'll Stay Out

However, there was one person interested in Rean. Obviously, it was Zil, the leader of the Cosec City Formation Master Guild Branch. "Kayla, right? I hope you don't mind if I have a small talk with that disciple of yours after the assembly." As the Formation Master Guild's leader, he obviously noticed something different with Rean's runes during the competition. He wanted to know more about it.

Kayla shrugged her shoulders in response, telling him, "Well, that's up to him."

Zil was more than satisfied by that. Such a huge Formation Master talent obviously had to be part of his guild. "Very well."

As for the Qianbel Sect Leader, he couldn't help but sigh in relief as he inwardly thought, 'Fortunately, I didn't send a Formation Master from my sect to participate in this test.'

Back in the testing area, Rean made his way out of the spatial room...or so he tried. "Wait. Aren't you forgetting something?" Just as he was about to pass through the spatial door, Vintan called his attention.

"Forgetting something?" Rean didn't expect to hear that. "Was there something else?"

Vintan then threw a spatial ring to Rean. In the Realm of Gods, spatial equipment was much more common, after all. "Take it. It's your reward." Vintan then made his way out as well, bringing Rean together.

Rean then checked the contents of the spatial ring and was taken aback. "This..." There were 500 Divine Stones there! "So many!"

Vintan looked at Rean for a moment before saying, "Compared to the Divine Vein, this is nothing. It's just 500 Rank One Divine Stones, after all. Still, considering the sect you're part of, this should be of some help to your development in the future. This is the reward for the second place holder."

Rean didn't know that there were rewards for those below 1st place, so he was obviously delighted. With that, he thanked Vintan. "Thank you, senior."

Rean then returned to his Lukimira Sect's group.

"Rean, that was amazing!"

"Didn't you say you were just a Silver Middle-level Formation Master?"

"What? And he got that far? Unbelievable!"

Roan was the only one who didn't seem surprised at all, asking Rean, "You only focused on the test from the second half onwards. Shouldn't you have done that earlier? The victory could have been yours."

Rean shook his head as he replied, "That was my limit. I had to use the first half to understand how the Formation Masters built those formations. To be honest, I wanted a few more hours to give them a proper look, but there wasn't enough time. I was at a disadvantage from the very start since the formations here are different."

Roan nodded after hearing that. "I see...so be it."

Wamil's group was shocked by their words, though. "You did all of that without knowing anything?"

Rean smiled in response but didn't give an answer.

Suddenly, Iulia raised her hand while trying to look away. "Ahem...Rean. Aren't you forgetting something?" In fact, she didn't understand how they could have ignored that until now.

"Forgetting something?" Rean was puzzled. Iulia then pointed her finger at him, and finally, he understood the issue. The explosion destroyed his clothes...including certain private parts. "Oh, this!" Rean then took a set of new clothes from the Spatial Ring and changed them right there and then, much to Iulia and the other female cultivators' surprise.

"Don't you have any shame?" Even Wamil had to admit Rean was too straightforward.

However, Rean looked at them with a confused expression, saying, "Divine Sense already let us see through everyone's clothes unless there's some protection there. You basically see everyone nude all the time. Why would clothes make any difference?"

Roan didn't say anything, but he also agreed with Rean on that topic. That part, at least, had never changed for them.

Iulia and the others wanted to say something else, but they didn't have time to. That's because Fabio came back into the room to call for the next test. "This spatial door will now send you to the Alchemy competition. If you don't want to take part in it, stay behind."

Roan, obviously, began to make his way inside.

However, the expectations everyone had on him were many times higher now. After all, both the candidates and the elders observing it could tell that Rean and Roan were twins. The Alchemist Guild Branch Leader then looked at Kayla from afar, thinking to himself, 'Twins? Could it be that the black-haired one is good with alchemy while the white-haired one is good with formations?'

He wasn't the only one thinking about it. Ranmgues was pondering about the same issue. 'If he performs as well as his brother, I have no chance of winning this point. Should I stay out of this one as well? If that happens, I'll only be able to do it once more.'

However, Ranmgues remembered he had no way of warning his disciples inside the assembly. 'Fuck! That's right! Thoughts Transmission Talismans don't work!'

Before, he was lucky that his sect had already decided to give up formations before arriving at the assembly. That's why his disciples didn't take part in it. But now, he couldn't tell the alchemist in his sect's group to not enter the alchemy test. 'Please, think a little! If the twin brother is as good as the other, you have no chance. Fugo, don't go there!'

Fugo, obviously, was his sect member who specialized in alchemy. Naturally, he saw Rean's performance and knew that he was from the Lukimira Sect. He did see him outside before, after all. 'The Sect Leader isn't contacting me. Should I take part in this competition, then?'

However, it was then that Tuly put a hand on his shoulder, telling him, "Don't go. Something isn't right."

"What do you mean?" Fugo asked back.

Tuly then explained, "I tried to send a Thoughts Transmission Talisman to Sect Leader, but the talisman isn't working at all."

"What?!" Let alone Fugo, everyone in the Qianbel Sect took their talismans out and tried to use them. However, Tuly was right. They simply didn't work. "We are isolated!"

Tuly nodded after hearing that, telling them, "I won't stop you if you think you're confident enough to win against that twin. However, I wouldn't go if I were you."

Tuly was their strongest participant, being at the Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Everyone respected him even though he rarely ever appeared in the sect. With that being said, Fugo decided to accept Tuly's idea.. "Alright, I'll stay out."
