Their eyes widened as they stared at their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia had a look of realization and said. \"I understand. We won't disturb you any longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson nodded. Luca was confused as ever. Ivy dragged him out and they all literally ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No! You're misunderstanding something!\" Sarah tried to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? What misunderstanding?\" Varian fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah glared at him and raised her hands, that were still held together. \"This!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! I had to stop you from speaking. \" Varian let go of her hand and said with an innocent smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his face twitched, and he asked. \"Why bring up my tomb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know?\" Sarah was surprised. According to her, Varian just returned from the dungeon and then entered Tower of Trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought he was unaware of his own tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also planned to take everyone to his tomb for sight seeing, bah, for visiting. Maybe a selfie or two would be good?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No. No.' Sarah thought to herself. ' I'm not a child anymore.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a lie to say she wasn't tempted. She wanted to see Varian's expression at her selfie on his tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sarah! Why are you getting these thoughts?!' She tried to argue with herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't know that he escaped a catastrophe by asking Boo to destroy his tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the dazed Sarah, he said with a helpless expression. \"Don't believe anything the tomb says.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the epitaph, Sarah couldn't help but smile. She felt sad visiting the tomb when he was gone, but now that the man himself was alive, it felt like a prank on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially that line. It was truly the best one she read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She snickered. \"So, you are not a virgin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sarah, what about you?\" Varian shot back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What about m-me?!\" Sarah flinched and took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reaction said it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Tsk. A virgin yourself and you are teasing me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian rolled his eyes and spread his arms. \"Welcome to the club!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's face flushed uncontrollably, and she raised her fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No! Ok, you're not a virgin.\" Varian tried to pacify the embarrassed Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's gaze turned dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ok, you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fist was approaching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What should I say, honestly?\" Varian racked his brains but couldn't an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse comes to worst, he'd run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...looks like you are having fun.\" A soft voice rang beside them, prompting Sarah to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna appeared behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah quickly composed herself and said with grievance. \"You have the most fun by scaring me every time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna nodded. \"Yes.\" leaving Sarah dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned to Varian and said in surprise. \"I didn't expect you to reach level 5 so soon. I'm sure your master would be ecstatic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well, I'm sure he'd be more shocked. When I met him, I was still some distance from breakthrough and he knew it.' Varian thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he'll be the most happy once the war ends.\" Varian said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah fell silent. She glanced at the ground and bit her lower lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a short goodbye, she left with Anna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, did I say something wrong?\" Varian wondered as he boarded a hover bus and reached his new dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver Community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike normal dorms, Silver community was exclusive for the ten silver rankers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a security check around the perimeter. If one wanted to enter, they had to take permission from the residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including teachers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian only understood why after stepping into the community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't mistake the heavy feeling in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was 50% higher than outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what about Golden Community, Diamond Community and… Amethyst Community?\" Varian gulped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His conventional training speed was actually monstrous. The reason it appeared slow was because fighting gave him too much Xp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, just to advance from high Level 4 to Level 5, a normal cadet would take around 3 to 4 months—the entire year only has 8 months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Old Earth terms, it took around 6 months!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a genius would take 1 month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian did it in a mere day. To be precise, in a few hours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Aura wasn't as enticing to him as others. But still, if sufficient aura was present, it could speed up his progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is luxury.\" Varian arrived in front of a small villa residence named Silver 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrier blocked the vision from the outside. It also served as the automated security check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning his comm, Varian entered his new residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking it out, he realized it wasn't actually small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a garden to grow special herbs if one wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a swimming pool with dense liquids that could be used to train body under various conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a room with Aura concentration Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only needed to put in aura crystals and the concentration of aura in the room would rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a kitchen, a large living room, a storeroom and a few others on the ground floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first floor, there were two bedrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resident could invite one person to stay with them, but not indefinitely. There were certain rules and procedures Varian wasn't going to bother with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Aura, there was one more thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is also Aura Well.\" Varian recalled the information about the other Sovereign Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the 'holy ground' for practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, there was a large aura crystal mine under the aura well. With the help of Aura well Treasure, a holy ground was created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper one went into the well, the denser the aura. There would be no sudden fluctuations in aura and it was extremely safe to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, whenever a cadet wanted to advance to the next level, they'd visit the Aura Well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was considering whether to check it out now, Boo reported. \"Master, your tomb is bombed. No traces of it exist on Earth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a huge burden was lifted off his chest. Varian let out the brightest smile ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your friends Kyle and Maya are engrossed in a project. Do you want me to contact them through other means?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian thought for a while before shaking his head. \"They hate to be disturbed. I'll visit them when they're done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Gareth proposed you meet him if you go on a mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure thing.\" Varian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Seth's comm is broken. But there is no news of his death or disappearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Seth was still missing, but since no one knew about it, the mission must be important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sorting out, Varian started the dreaded exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His comm started recording everything around him, ensuring no cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Option C!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'2.33313!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through their mental communication, Boo helped him a bit. But it was mostly Varian's diligent answering. Yep! He was a model student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sovereign is not a realm, it is a state.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There are eight Sovereigns, but only six artifacts. One is lost in the Pluto War. It is speculated that the artifact is lost or captured by Abyssals.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It is impossible to win a war without planetoids.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a gruesome hour, it ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job!\" Varian patted Boo for its contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he checked out his combat test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Combat Test: Take the tower of trials!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stay inside for 1 hour!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You passed the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations on passing the tests of first month.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew.\" Varian sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was quick. Now he had time in hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only goal. Merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I check out the aura well, I'll just take a mission. With my strength, and Boo's assistance, I'd be able to earn a lot of merit points.\" Varian decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, he entered the training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the aura crystals, aura concentration increased by 33%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the normal dorm, it was double!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sat down cross-legged and descended into meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","f64ad7ed36754211e042d6ea646df41fd8328891a94f99d27be6929baa2e5f3d","divine-path-system-chapter-139","divine-path-system-chapter-138",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
