I believe his words, but I'm afraid the high awakeners are suspicious of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his progress speed, they'd suspect him to be using treasures…at least father trusts him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah felt a little better but soon, her brows knit together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why can't you trust me too, father? You didn't even ask me to win in the trial. I'm not the strongest, but even I have a winning chance.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While her thoughts took a depressing turn, they moved to a slightly different location and waited for the next prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah blurted out. \"Do you like William?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Philia opened her mouth in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait, why did I do that?' Sarah had no idea and attributed it to her disturbed thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Un.\" Philia unexpectedly admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Sarah followed. She wasn't actually expecting Philia to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was only a normal friend to Philia. Philia's cold temperament caused people to stay away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah was almost the same. The biggest social thing she did was to be a captain of Siarah adventure team. Other than that, she spent all her time practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'We both don't talk much...' Sarah thought of her similarities with Philia. Then she added. '…I talk a bit with Varian, I think? But that's because we're friends, but I'm also friends with William, Dhruv and Mia…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philia's answer snapped her out of her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were on Noik planetoid. We were still level 5s, patrolling the borders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's face turned weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the Abyssals suddenly attacked. I was seriously injured. He didn't run away, he held onto me despite the dangers and fought…\" Philia's eyes showed a look of nostalgia as she began describing the battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, wait!\" Sarah interrupted. \"Not abandoning your comrades, isn't that camaraderie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it must be followed in both military and adventure teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Varian risked his life to save everyone. Save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philia looked at Sarah and shrugged. \"Maybe. Maybe not. But it's from that moment, I think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William is a narcissist, sometimes thinks he has too much charm, and sometimes I just want to beat him up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But…\" Philia's cold expression melted and she smiled sweetly. \"I can count on him when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….isn't that the same as comrades in arms? You fight together, you trust one another, you can die for another?\" Sarah asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philia rubbed her forehead and looked at Sarah's genuinely innocent look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren't cold beauties like her supposed to ask these questions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is Sarah the one asking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How innocent can you be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ho! Ho! Come catch me, you slithery yolo snake.\" William's voice sounded from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah unsheathed her sword and turned towards Philia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philia said. \"It can overlap with a lot of things…but it's different. You'll know when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…you might as well have not answered it at all.' Sarah thought but didn't ask any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philia's expression also changed back to her usual coldness and soon, they were facing a ten meter long peak level 6 beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Snow palace, beasts began to fall as a slow, but inevitable massacre began, one at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian reached the Vine Forest. However, he didn't go fighting directly and instead asked Boo to confirm all the messengers in the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, he rushed into the Vine Forest, avoiding the sight of messengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to learn one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, Varian could practice his divine paths through combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow, Morpher Path was sidelined. It only improved because of the injuries he had rather than him actively trying to increase it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a sense, it was a side benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Varian wanted to fight the plant morphers here and if possible, learn more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to reach a state where he could progress in his morphed path without injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, here he was, wearing a face mask that concealed his identity and in very common but standard clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian spotted a small flower and observed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flower resembled a sunflower. It was lovely and was about one-meter tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Varian used his system's new ability to check the level of the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be a normal flower, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 5. Morpher Path.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he scanned the other plants, flowers and trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 4. Morpher Path]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 5. Morpher Path.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 3. Morpher Path.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….are you serious?\" He looked at their harmless appearance and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked the ground and reached the sunflower-like flower. He bent down and was about to pluck it when the change happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grauww!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-meter tall lovely beauty turned into a hideous five meter tall and three-meter wide man-eating flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened its mouth full of barbs and tried to devour him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Die!\" Varian almost killed the thing, but fortunately he withdrew his strength in the last second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, that strength was also high for it and the flower shook violently and Varian feared it'd be break apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Varian's hands transformed into large brown branches and he exuded a vibrant aura full of vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man-eating flower's mouth extended and tried to bite him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snort, Varian slapped the branch-arms at the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he observed how the man-eating flower was using its prana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For body path, he learnt this instinctively. But for Morpher Path, he needed to put in some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+5 Xp]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+5 Xp]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two prompts, studying the flower's prana didn't give him any improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't take injuries like usual, so that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He destroyed the flower and picked another plant. It used its leaves as projectiles and attacked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+10 Xp]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+10 Xp]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then another…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued until Boo said. \"Master, I've marked all messengers, their patrol locations and timings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Varian nodded and checked his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Morpher Path Level 4: 400\u002F1000 (+150)]\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","65f2c49a6ccaaca7a37105c2ea6a22922f8fd6aa94cb8f535925857f86a586ca","divine-path-system-chapter-285","divine-path-system-chapter-283",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
