Rean then touched Blansin’s shoulder, sending a stream of Light Element inside his body. Not long after, the seal he put in Blansin’s demon core disappeared. Blansin could now use his full strength again.
“This…” Blansin was taken aback.
Not only him but Erla and Min as well. “Why did you let him free?”
Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. “This idiot only wanted her heart so that he could prevent a bigger calamity for the White Scaled Carp race. Now that he knows that taking her heart will only complicate things, I doubt he’ll come after you anymore.”
Blansin had to ask, “And why would you believe me? I could be totally lying, you know?”
Rean smiled in response. “I got this thing that detects lies from a certain emotionless stone. I can’t say it’s 100% accurate, but it isn’t that far off. For a naive guy like you, it’s quite easy to see through.”
Blansin scratched the back of his head in response. He didn’t hear about himself being naive all the time, especially with his status in the Silver Horn Sturgeon race. “Fine! I admit that I lacked thought about the situation. I was doing it so that I could stop the fight against the White Scaled Carp race, but if it can bring their elimination, I obviously won’t try it anymore.”
Blansin then looked at Erla after that. “Sorry, Erla. You can do anything you want to me. If you wish to kill me, I won’t resist.”
Erla clenched her fists, thinking about what Blansin’s race did. However, in the end, she relaxed. “Sigh… whatever. We have known each other for way too long already. However, that doesn’t mean I forgive you.”
Erla then looked at Rean and asked, “You said that the only way to keep my race alive is to join Jhiod, right? But in that case, doesn’t that mean my race will be under arrest and in a very precarious situation until the day I become strong enough to go back?”
Rean shrugged his shoulders, replying, “Unfortunately, I can’t think of any other way. If you have a better idea, then, by all means, I’m all ears.”
Erla immediately shut up her mouth after that. It was obvious she didn’t have any better idea.
However, Blansin was different. “Min had mentioned that Erla should marry someone important in the Jhiod Sect to get their help. Since she’s a top-ranked Divine Demon Beast, there would definitely be high-level demon beasts there who would be willing to have her.”
Min’s expression turned dark, but Blansin didn’t stop there. “Of course, Min and Erla are together, so this idea is out of the question. But then again, it doesn’t mean Erla can’t use her race to acquire the favor of some high-level elder. As long as she shows her talent and bloodline, it shouldn’t be too hard to become the legacy disciple of one of those demon beasts. With such a backing, you could come back to the Terces Continent and make a deal with my race. As long as the Jhiod Sect’s name is on the table, my Silver Horn Sturgeon race will definitely consider it.”
Erla’s eyes lit up after hearing that. “That’s it! It’s a lot faster than waiting for my cultivation to reach an acceptable realm.”
Min nodded in agreement. “I’ll help you with that as much as I can.”
Rean then patted Blansin’s shoulders after that. “Aren’t you quite bright? Hahaha! No wonder you’re considered such a huge talent.”
Blansin’s mouth twitched as he looked at Rean. ‘Me? A huge talent? Then, what are you? A god? I couldn’t hold a candle to your strength, and you’re still far below me in cultivation.’ In the end, the encounter with Rean wiped Blansin’s thoughts about him being a genius. He was far from that when compared to the young white-haired man.
Rean then turned his attention back to Erla and Min. “Well, I’ll help you pass the test since our battle formation is also helping me. However, once we get into the Jhiod Sect, it will be up to you to get your objectives completed. My brother and I have a lot more things to do, and we probably won’t stay in Jhiod Continent for long before leaving and never coming back.”
“What?!” Everyone was taken aback to hear that. “Then why are you taking this test?”
“It’s the fastest way to enter Jhiod Continent. It’s that simple.” Rean answered truthfully.
‘Would anyone take such a dangerous number of tests just to get a free pass? Are you serious?’ they all thought at the same time.
Erla then shook her head and put those thoughts behind her mind. “Whatever. The fact is that we will indeed help you to get into Jhiod Sect as well. I don’t know if I can really become one of the Legacy Disciples of those demon beast elders in Jhiod Sect. However, even if I can’t, I can always return to the original plan and train hard until I get strong enough to head back on my own.”
Min nodded, saying, “With the Jhiod Sect’s resources and your recently awakened bloodline, you can definitely reach the Inner or even the Core Sect. Of course, I’ll obviously do everything I can.”
Rean looked at Blansin and asked, “What about you? What are you going to do? To be honest, you should give up on the tests. We can’t fit you inside our battle formation, so your presence would be more of a burden than a help.”
Blansin took his badge, the one that would teleport the participants outside if it was crushed. “I have no need to be here anymore.” Blansin warned Erla and Min after that. “I’ll go out and talk with the elders. They already know that you’re inside the Jhiod Sect building, after all. It’s just that they can’t enter with their cultivation. Remember, if you come out without being a member of the Jhiod Sect, they’ll definitely capture you. With their cultivation, as long as they’re not in the Jhiod Sect building, no one will really intervene if they do that.”
Erla and Min nodded in response. “Thank you, Blansin.”
