Senior Sister's Dedicated Cultivation

Chapter 34 Senior Sister's Dedicated Cultivation

"Alright, Dean Xiao, you can recommend me. Whether there's a competition or not doesn't matter. The main thing is to see who's stronger by comparing with the geniuses from other countries!" Gojo Satoru said with a grin.

As the former strongest in the world of sorcery, he was undoubtedly proud. He was only so humble in front of these seniors whose cultivation was unfathomable. If they were just super-rank or high-rank, Gojo Satoru would definitely compete with them!

"There's still some time before the selection of National Team members. How about I open the Three-Step Tower so you can focus on cultivating your third skill during this time?" Dean Xiao asked.

The regular resources that have been distributed are no longer very effective for Gojo Satoru, so it would be better to open up the Three-Step Tower.

"Sure, it'll be a good opportunity to solidify my healing skills as well." Gojou Satoru nodded.

……

Gojo Satoru first called the Blue Sky Hunters to let them know he was safe, and then plunged into the Three-Step Tower to cultivate.

The Chaos Nebula is like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing the rich natural energy around it.

Once he began to train diligently, Gojo Satoru lost all sense of the passage of time.

In this world of immense power, he experienced feelings he had never known before, whether it was the arduous training or a deeper understanding of the strong.

The spatial and healing systems remained unchanged, which was within Gojo Satoru's expectations, but the slow progress made him feel that the future was bleak.

After a period of arduous training, Chaos has reached the limit of the third level of the intermediate stage. With the right external force to push it forward, it is 100% certain that it can break through to the higher stage.

Unfortunately, Gojo Satoru's wallet was already empty when he entered the Three Steps Tower last time.

Although we've made 20 million from Zhan Kong, it's still far from enough to buy the Star River Vein.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Everyone was the same as always. Lingling was sitting on the bench at the front desk reading books, while Old Man Bao was at the bar, looking at the newspaper with a serious expression.

"Is the training really that dangerous? Even you, one of our most capable lieutenants from the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, couldn't protect Mo Fan." Old Bao looked at Wu Tiaowu and asked with some doubt.

"It's not that bad, there was just a minor mishap along the way." Gojo Satoru gave a wry smile, then explained, "Mo Fan is fine, he's currently training at the Southern Military Headquarters."

"I see." Old Bao nodded.

"Hmm, if something happens to that kid, I definitely won't be able to focus on my training at the academy." Gojo Satoru stirred the sweetened milk in his hand, then asked about the important matter.

"By the way, Old Bao, have you given any high-priced commissions yet?"

"I do have a task, but I'd like you to take Lingling to help your senior sister." Old Man Bao put down his newspaper and handed over some information.

Gojo Satoru glanced at the contents and immediately frowned. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for little Lingling to get involved in this kind of thing?"

If it were before the training, he probably would have agreed to take Lingling to do the commission without even thinking.

But Mo Fan's experience made him take it more seriously.

"Don't worry, Lingling is just helping you monitor the overall situation remotely; she won't take any risks," Old Man Bao said with a smile.

Gojo Satoru glanced at Reiryo, who was sitting there stealing glances from time to time, his eyes filled with suspicion.

This little girl has a lot of mischievous ideas; I once accidentally let her go on an adventure to intercept demons.

"Really, I won't take the risk!" Lingling said earnestly.

Gojo Satoru finally agreed.

The main reason is that the commission is expensive, but it's located in Hangzhou, so it's very cost-effective.

……

It was already very hot in Hangzhou in early May, and many pedestrians walked impatiently on the street. The weather was especially hot today.

Even after the sun has set, its restless heat seems to linger in the sky, making those who are already irritable inexplicably want to pick a fight.

Gojo Satoru, holding a bottle of beverage, led Rei-ling, who was sipping a strawberry milkshake, out of the airport.

On the highways and streets, the roar of engines was incessant, as all sorts of people finished their busy day and prepared to go home to enjoy some time to themselves.

Of course, for some people, their work has only just begun.

Under the shade of trees on both sides of the street, a white-haired figure wearing black trousers and a black coat walked with a girl with pigtails under the dim sky.

Those around who saw the figure were slightly surprised.

"Isn't this young man hot? He's wearing so many layers."

"Look, there's a young man over there with dyed white hair."

"This kind of person is probably not a good person."

There was much discussion, but Gojo Satoru didn't care about the gossip. After all, he had encountered so many ignorant people that he had become indifferent to them.

Fifteen minutes later, the two, one big and one small, arrived at the door of the senior sister's apartment. Gojo Satoru knocked on the door.

The woman who opened the door was both extremely cold and alluring.

"Senior Sister," Gojo Satoru greeted her with a smile.

She is the senior sister, whose full name is Leng Qing. She is Xiao Lingling's older sister and also a vice judge with a distinguished position.

Leng Qing nodded slightly.

"Sister." Lingling stepped forward and touched her.

Leng Qing squatted down and gave her sister, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, a warm hug.

"Come in first." Leng Qing led Lingling into the house first.

Upon entering the house, Leng Qing told Gotiao Wu to sit wherever he pleased, while he sat opposite the two sisters.

"Senior Sister, tell me about your current progress," Gojo Satoru said, taking a sip of water.

The previous commission was to investigate the source of the virus in those suffering from the disease, which involved some high-ranking figures in Hangzhou.

However, the specific details of the commission are quite vague.

"I entrusted you with this task to investigate the strange virus that has suddenly appeared in Hangzhou recently, but we don't have any leads yet," Leng Qing said frankly.

"Is it related to that giant serpent from before?" Lingling asked curiously.

"That's the totem beast of Hangzhou. It's said that it will always protect Hangzhou from demons and monsters," Leng Qing said calmly.

It's clear that the senior sister doesn't really believe these rumors.

"Uh... what are you talking about?" Gojo Satoru asked, completely bewildered.

What are those giant serpents and totem beasts? I've never heard of them.

"A while ago, a giant snake appeared in Hangzhou, coiling around a building. Some people called it the Skyscraper Serpent, although the Magic Association later explained that it was just a Shadow Array," Lingling answered Wutiao Wu's question.

"Oh, I was focused on my training at the time, but I don't usually watch the news." Gojo Satoru shrugged, then asked, "So our goal is to investigate whether that giant snake is related to the virus?"

"No, that's not it." Leng Qing shook his head and said, "I know the details of that giant snake. What you need to investigate is the source of the virus and the method of antidote."

"This is a bit of a problem, we don't have a single clue," Gojo Satoru complained.

So none of what I said was useful. Since it has nothing to do with that giant snake, why bother explaining it?

"Actually, it's like this: Councilor Zhu Meng, who is in charge of protecting Hangzhou, believes that the virus was brought by the giant snake and wants to eliminate the giant snake to remove the threat. We, on the other hand, believe that the giant snake poses no threat, but we are struggling to find evidence," Leng Qing sighed.
