The female Immortal King had skin like ice and bones like jade, and her dress and bearing were utterly goddess-like. With my hand resting on her shoulder, I could still catch a faint, enticing fragrance.
"Senior... please, go ahead." The female Immortal King's face stiffened. Realm was not a way to judge strength, but my strength was enough for her to regard me as a senior.
"All right." As I answered, I controlled her screen and navigated to the pages that interested me, chatting all the while. "Immortal King Jade Rao? What a nice name. You're from the Northern Jia Immortal Kingdom? Hmm? Not even seven hundred years old? Forget having good aptitude—becoming an Immortal King at that age couldn't have been easy, right?"
On the map, everything below the Immortal King level displayed its energy concentration.
There seemed to be several more energy signatures exceeding a million, speeding toward us.
"Combat energy value: 1,247,230. You seem pretty strong. The others have only just passed a million. How is this calculated? Ordinary soldiers of the Immortal Kingdoms don't seem to have this energy-counting system." I grinned.
"This... is because the system brooch doesn't have that function. Normally, it's preloaded, but most immortals conceal it. When they draw close, however, the brooch can sense their energy value..." Immortal King Jade Rao explained.
"Then can it sense my situation? Give it a try." I looked toward the point representing me.
Immortal King Jade Rao nodded and activated the brooch system. The value of my point instantly began to soar. After breaking through a million, it continued climbing furiously, leaping all the way past nine million without stopping.
"Did the system malfunction?" I flashed a toothy grin. In truth, I was only using enough power to suppress her and hadn't gone all out.
