Chapter 110: Foggy Strategies
"Underling Xuhan? Fellow cultivator Qian Yun? What are you two doing over there?"
The voice that rang out from the distant platforms belonged to Mu Ran.
Earlier when Zhao Weiqing had taken a glance at the leaderboard, he had seen Mu Ran’s judgment still displaying the pending status. From what he had observed, Mu Ran was not particularly bright when it came to creative aspects. So it was normal for him to take a while to be done with the test.
He hadn’t thought much of it at that time. Anyone within the third stage of the inheritance test was bound to become a carrier of his soul shard’s corrupted parts.
Wait a minute, what are soul shards? Where did I hear such a phrase?
A small voice wondered in the back of his mind.
But this was not the time to think about those small details, because he had suddenly discovered something rather strange.
Zhao Weiqing could not detect any mental connection between him and Mu Ran, just like how he had failed to perceive any connection with Han Xuhan.
Did the soul shard in Mu Ran’s testing hall fail to do its job?
What was happening? Did something go wrong with the purification process? Again?
Sounds of footsteps broke him out of his daze. Mu Ran’s silhouette slowly became clearer within the thin fog as he approached the deadlock zone between Zhao Weiqing. Han Xuhan, sitting lazily at the edge of the denser layer of fog, waved a hand at his savior.
