Elsewhere, Lu Hao, still in seclusion, sensed movement from his spiritual-power avatar. Following the connection through his Origin World, he saw Fang Ping's predicament. He had thought the kid had run into some trouble, but it turned out that he had merely encountered that minor incident involving the Ten Thousand Sources Hall in Star Town City—and it had nearly cost Lu Hao's spiritual-power avatar its life. One had to know that avatar could kill even an Emperor, let alone a Paragon. It was only because Lu Hao's own spiritual power had concealed it that Zhang Tao, who was present, had not been scared off long ago. After giving Fang Ping a warning, Lu Hao withdrew his attention. He still needed to continue his transformation. Once it was complete, he would be truly invincible. Outside Lu Hao's place of seclusion, Gray Cat was eating its portion of fries for the day while watching the little dog practice Kuocang Mountain's cultivation technique. "Little dog is so stupid. It still can't learn something this simple. This cat remembers that when Big Dog learned cultivation techniques, it picked them up right away. And that fierce one has been in seclusion for so many days already. Why isn't he out yet? Only ten bags of snacks a day—this cat feels like it's about to starve to death."
Gray Cat complained to Gong Juanzi beside it.
"Gray Cat, don't rush. How about you take a nap first? By the time you wake up, Fellow Daoist Lu will surely have completed his breakthrough. Then you can do whatever you want."
Gong Juanzi was currently engrossed in studying Jiao's bloodline. The Heavenly Dog's bloodline was truly extraordinary and immensely helpful to his path of beast taming. He wished Lu Hao would remain in seclusion a little longer so
