Chapter 778: The strongest MT’s…….path

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

In a mere 6 hours, this technologically advanced private jet arrived at Sheyan’s destination – Nice, Côte d’Azur International Airport.

Soon after, Sheyan met with Zi in a fictional-looking private manor.

Her dressing seemed rather ordinary and was composed of a simple and plain maroon dress, nonetheless, it failed to conceal that noble air of austerity emanating from her. Beside her, was a female with black square-shaped spectacles who was carrying some documents.

Instead, Sheyan’s attention halted beside Zi, or accurately speaking, on the unimaginable sight of a ’beast’ that would cause one to think of a lion.

Without a doubt, this was an enormous Tibetan Mastiff, and a purebred one.

The mastiff was lazily lying by her side. It swept a glance at Sheyan before lazily sinking its chin into its paws.

This Tibetan Mastiff was undoubtedly not the least bit interested in Sheyan.

As Zi and Sheyan stared at each other, for some unknown reason, an indescribable barrier seemed to congeal between them. The atmosphere was weird yet not awkward, as though each was unwilling to make the first statement which would be akin to admitted defeat.

Yet at this moment, Sheyan shot a cheeky smile as he mimicked a ’sandbag’ carrying action. Zi immediately rolled her eyes which gave her secretary a massive shock. Of the seven years she had worked under Zi, she hadn’t seen her with such a demeanor before.

Yet strangely, it was actually a male who caused her to do so.

Moreover, it was a sloppy young man that was slovenly dressed!

This man appeared rather mediocre and if thrown into a crowd, it would definitely be like a salt thrown into the ocean; vanishing instantaneously. Individuals who discharged more power in the financial group could be found anywhere.

Yet Zi treated him favourably. Not only did she dispatch a Gulfstream jet, she even exhibited such an expression. This secretary was utterly bewildered.

Observing the seemingly casual Sheyan, Zi’s phoenix eyes revealed a hint of admiration and surprise. She reached out her hand and displayed a faint smile.

”Welcome to Darte Farm, my name is Su Lingzi. This is my secretary, Miss Anitta.”

Sheyan shook her hand which felt incredibly delicate and fleshy. His heart fluttered as he offered a slight smile.

”I am Sheyan. Thanks for the invite, the crew of The Elizabeth was extremely marvellous.”

Led by Miss Anitta, Sheyan and Zi soon arrived at a hillside by the side of this private garden. The green grass was like cushion and white fluffy clouds filled the blue sky. The majestic peaks of the french alps could be seen afar, precipitous cliffs emanating a striking grandeur. One could also gaze upon the famous blue beaches of Nice. It was truly a breath-taking scenery to behold. Sheyan loved the broadness and openness of this place. The threat of being eavesdropped by others here was nearly nonexistent.

Sheyan released a comfortable exhalation as he leaned back on a reclining couch of this hillside. He waited for Zi to speak here. Still, she calmly held a coffee mug while enjoying the wonderful scenery.

After a good long while, she finally broke the silence.

”You were daydreaming when I called you?”

Sheyan nodded and replied.

”Indeed.”

A glint of intrigue flickered in her phoenix-like eyes.

”A s...person like you should be planning his time to the finest seconds, I’m curious, you have periods of daydreaming too?”

Sheyan glanced back with a slight discomfort in his eyes.

”Before I answer you, answer this first. At the start of your sentence, why did you suddenly change your word?”

Puchi! She finally let loose a laughter and immediately cusped her mouth before replying.

”Fine fine, since you insist I will just tell you honestly. I meant to say scum! Ever since the Avatar World, I’ve been thinking; what kind of scum is this Seaman, therefore, once I saw you, I subconsciously associate you with that term.”

Sheyan folded his arms and didn’t argue with her over that. Instead, he straightforwardly answered her earlier question.

”The reason I was daydreaming, was because I discovered something strange. My friends and kin, I suddenly feel awkwardly disconnected with them. It is as though they live their own lives and I can no longer assimilate in.”

Zi paused briefly before addressing him.

”You are wrong, it isn’t that you are disconnected with them. Instead, after becoming a contestant, that will inevitably happen.”

Sheyan was an extremely intelligent person. After some pondering, he immediately deciphered an underlying meaning. His face turned unsightly as he became abruptly silent. Zi continued.

”Can you assimilate into the life and activities of a bird? Can you reach a deeper level of conversation and interaction with a fish? Of course not. The paradigm of their lives and yours is completely different, how can you achieve those?”

Sheyan sighed deeply and responded despondently.

”Indeed, what you say is right. Ever since becoming a contestant, I’ve trodden further and further away from the path of humanity. There isn’t a vast difference between my kin and I now, but if this progresses on.....there will come a day, that cruel reality will happen.”

Zi leaned back in silence before speaking.

”You’ve just now discovered it, I’ve already been feeling this for a very long time.”

The atmosphere momentarily turned solemn; it wasn’t awkward or cold, just particularly silent.

Even without the exchange of words, the emotions of each other could still be felt between them. This was truly a mystifying experience.

After a very very long time, or perhaps just a quick instance, Zi gently announced.

”I have three reasons for inviting you here.”

Sheyan nodded.

”Go on.”

Zi glanced at him and continued.

”Do you know why Zeus is constantly unresigned in regards to me?”

Sheyan wasn’t expecting her to raise this topic. After pondering a little, he laughed heartily.

”Of course, your unreachable charm has brought him down to your jeans.”

Zi rolled her eyes and continued.

”I don’t wear jeans. Whatever, he definitely wants me to merge into his party, otherwise, he will definitely kill me. This is because I possess a secret, a monumental secret that involves an MT! Zeus only knows a fraction of this secret, therefore, unless necessary, he is definitely unwilling to confront me directly! Because, his wrong understanding has misled him into thinking, that I hold the might to bring him down with me!”

Sheyan quietly listened, knowing that what Zi was saying was surely related to him.

Zi glanced at Sheyan and continued.

”According to what I know, there are many forms of MT. Zeus’ MT prowess originates from the earth and is a nature element MT, while Skull’s MT prowess originates from metal and equipments; a metal element MT. Apart from that, I’ve seen before a spirit element MT, whose MT prowess comes from the spirit. His HP may be similar to ordinary Growth-Hunters, but is supplemented with otherworldly defensive and survivability methods; constituting fully from his MP guard.....”

”However, this secret that I’ve grasped, points to the legendary strongest path of an MT!”

”Strongest...….MT’s path?” Sheyan replied emotionally.

”Yes.” Zi resolutely declared. ”Nevertheless, it is merely a path. To become the strongest known MT, that will depend on whether the individual is capable enough to reach the end of this path.”

Sheyan squinted his eyes at Zi and said.

”So, you intend to transmit this secret to me?”

Zi nodded.

”Indeed.”

Then, she raised her palm and snapped her fingers. Immediately, that incredibly fierce Tibetan Mastiff slowly trudged over. Zi rubbed his head gently before retrieving an exceedingly ordinary looking bead from its collar.

”This is it. Oh right, when I slew that Wild Dog of Skull Party, I acquired a silver storyline grade item – ’Bioguard Rite’. This is useless to me, I will mail it to you guys after returning to the realm.”

Sheyan then received the bead. There was nothing special about it just that it was oddly heavy. Zi then advised seriously.

”When you possess sufficient strength, it will naturally reveal itself.”

Sheyan attempted to store the bead in his personal storage. Instead, the nightmare realm transmitted a list of notifications.

[ You obtained an unknown object: ????? ]

[ Unable to store object in personal storage ]

[ You possess insufficient strength to obtain detailed information on this object ]

[ You possess insufficient strength. Unable to bring object into a nightmare realm or world ]

[ Please quickly promote to become a Growth-Hunter and satisfy the basic requirement of appraising this object ]

After seeing the notifications, Sheyan became aware that this object wasn’t mere junk. He spoke with a solemn tone.

”Thank you.”

Zi offered a gentle smile.

”Helping you is akin to helping myself. The next thing is regarding that soul equipment I acquired, ’Memory Pen’. To receive a perfect score for this real world mission, I will need your help. Are you free?”

Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.

”Can I say no?”

Her brows slanted upwards as she replied with a smile that was not a smile.

”You can try.”

Sheyan shamelessly withdrew at once.

”Fine, I won’t try.”

”The third thing.” Zi gazed into his eyes and earnestly uttered. ”I’m leaving Party Ace.”
