One Face Inside, Another Outside

[June 1: You entered the virtual space to challenge the Trial Tower.]

[However, although you had improved greatly during this period, you ultimately stopped at the fourth floor and failed to reach the fifth floor of the Trial Tower.]

[After all, many councilor-level experts had failed to reach Trial Tower level 5.0. You were still a little short.]

[In August, Luo Feng suddenly became the Inspector of Jiangnan Base City. He came to the Elite Training Camp to find you and suggested that the two of you spar.]

[You agreed...]

[You were utterly crushed...]

[You had been extremely confident in your strength when sparring with Luo Feng, but you had overlooked his identity as a Spiritualist. The strength he displayed beat you so badly that you nearly began questioning your life.]

[Of course, it was not because you were weak. Spiritualists were simply too slippery, flying through the air and attacking from afar, leaving you passively taking hits the entire time.]

[It was utterly disgusting!]

[September 1: The period stipulated in the contract ended. According to its terms, you were required to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, successfully obtain a Black God Set, and sell it to Limit Martial Hall.]

[At the end of September, you decided to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins with Luo Feng. Within the Ancient Civilization Ruins, you entered the Elite Channel, where the assessment had a three-year time limit.]

[Three months later, neither you nor Luo Feng emerged from the ruins. The outside world was in an uproar, and people could hardly believe that humanity's two greatest prodigies had perished so easily within the ruins.]
