Chapter 73: Lunax.
"What do you think?" Lee was slurping dinner while massaging his sore right shoulder, when Potato came over.
Lee wasn't really in the mood to entertain the guy – earlier today one of the vanguard soldiers grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled out from the formation, almost breaking Lee's collar bone in the process.
Considering the move was executed so casually, the difference in physical strength made him depressed. And it was without the guy using his sparks!
It was hard to imagine Lee's peers were supposed to join the vanguard ranks in the nearest future. From what Lee could judge, it'll take at least ten years for them to develop half of such strength.
"I don't understand how these children can become warriors so early." Lee said, carefully picking his words in case someone was eavesdropping.
"Well, they will experience incredible boost after absorbing one spark and the another after the second." Potato said with a shrug, and sat down next to him, "But you're right, they all are mentally challenged."
"That's not what I said." Lee threw a sideways glance at him.
"Sure, sure." Potato nodded, "No worries, I hear you. But no one else does. Despite what the common rumor is, the omnipotent Lunax is only an elemental lord who has awakened the spatial spark. He could open as many rifts as he wants, but his combat abilities will still be lacking. I don't know why he's here though. Normally people with his skill set are highly sought after by everyone ..."
It was as if Lee had won a lottery. He didn't even need to ask anything – the guy was happy to share all the information he had. The only thing Lee needed to pay attention to was to remember the conversation so he could analyze it later.
