Hao Zhen’s gaze lingered on the dead inner disciple for a while longer, immersed in his thoughts, before he snapped out of it. He then made his way over to Tian Jin, who glanced at him as he approached.
“Well, I believe that’s over,” Tian Jin said. There was something off about the way the other boy was looking at him. Hao Zhen reckoned that it had to do with the last few questions he had asked at the end. Well, no matter. He’d be addressing them shortly.
“Right,” Hao Zhen said. “First things first, get rid of the tracking matrix on your spatial ring.”
Tian Jin promptly nodded his head. He then once again removed the spatial ring from his finger and started scrutinizing. Probably because he had already analyzed it earlier, Tian Jin only spent a few moments looking at it before there was a burst of spiritual power from his hand.
Hao Zhen kept his eye trained on the ring, but from where he stood, he couldn’t see the tracking matrix, so he didn’t see any change. He wondered how a matrix could be inscribed on something that small. The inscriptions on the walls of the cave were each about the size of the ring, and a matrix was supposedly made up of multiple inscriptions. Were there miniature inscriptions for such cases, or was there some kind of way to compress a matrix? Probably the latter. If he ever decided to get into inscriptery in the future, that’d be something to look into.
