Party

Chaos!

In a daze, Luo Zhe felt as if he were in a chaotic world, surrounded by Meng Yi, without a trace of light, and unable to feel any matter in the places his body could touch. It was as if he had entered the legendary primordial egg where Pangu resided.

The center of chaos!

For some reason, a thought suddenly arose in Luo Zhe's mind, and he naturally knew that this place was the center of chaos!

Suddenly!

An unknown, immense force arrived silently, forcefully injected like an enema, completely disregarding the limits of the chaotic center's capacity to withstand such devastation.

Not far from Luo Zhe, a singularity with hidden limits was revealed under the influx of this unknown and enormous power. It continuously absorbed the external power and expanded violently, growing larger and larger, like a balloon being filled with helium.

In a single moment!

The singularity's capacity to withstand pressure has reached its limit, yet external forces continue to pour into it.

Boom!

An unprecedented explosion occurred, just like the legendary 'Big Bang'.

At this point, the center of chaos collapsed, the chaotic world gradually dissipated, and light appeared!

Where the singularity originally existed, a hemispherical space with a diameter of ten meters suddenly appeared. Around this hemispherical space, an invisible barrier was shrouded, protecting the peace within.

The chaotic energy that had been quietly suspended in the chaos began to stir restlessly, constantly dissipating and drifting erratically outside the invisible barrier. Occasionally, some mischievous strands of chaotic energy would collide with the invisible barrier and then be repelled. Other strands of chaotic energy would gently adhere to the barrier, gradually merging into it and transforming into Universe Energy.

The hemispherical space, the invisible barrier, the chaotic airflow—all of this was so familiar that Luo Zhe Luo Zhe felt as if he had seen it somewhere before. But his increasingly blurred consciousness prevented him from thinking too much. Gradually, he felt his surroundings getting darker and darker, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and his body getting heavier and heavier, as if an infinite pressure was descending upon him.

Elite Training Camp, Jiangnan Pavilion

Luo Zhe lay on his bed, his eyelids twitching slightly, a few mischievous eyelashes trembling and struggling, as if trying to break free from the confinement of his eyelids.

Suddenly, Luo Zhe opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling, the familiar windowsill, and the familiar bed, as if everything before was just an illusion.

"Were you dreaming again?"

Luo Zhe got up, walked to the balcony of the attic, adjusted the chair placed to a suitable angle, sat down, and gazed into the distance.

Since returning from the Global Headquarters in the early hours of the 29th, Luo Zhe Luo Zhe had this recurring dream whenever he falls asleep. Even after waking up, the scenes from the dream remain vividly etched in his mind.

Speaking of yesterday morning, Luo Zhe Luo Zhe recalled that brilliant move, as dazzling as Halley's Comet. Although he fell into a coma after unleashing that move, he didn't wake up until the car was halfway back to the Training Camp.

But that move was indeed the pinnacle of Luo Zhe's current strength!

According to Inspector Wang brought him back, after he fell into a coma, both the master of the martial arts school and Thor praised his talent highly, and Thor had already asked the master of the martial arts school for him, intending to take him as his apprentice.

However, since Luo Zhe was still in a coma at the time, and since the Thor was recruiting a personal disciple, the ceremony could not be too shabby. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Thor decided to hold a grand disciple-acceptance ceremony in the next month or two, and invite powerful figures from major forces around the world to attend.

Therefore, it was specially arranged for Inspector Wang to communicate with Luo Zhe in advance so that he could prepare himself mentally.

Thor's disciple?

Luo Zhe stared intently at the distant sky. So this was how he became Thor's apprentice? The personal disciple of the world's second strongest man? It felt so unreal.

"Luo Zhe!" Zhao Ruo's shout from downstairs woke Luo Zhe up.

Standing up, he looked down and saw Zhao Ruo standing downstairs, hands on her hips, shouting, "There's a party at Restaurant No. 1 tonight at eight o'clock. Senior Brother Shi Jiang asked me to invite you to come along."

"Party?"

Luo Zhe scratched his head, seemingly finding the idea unappealing. However, since even someone as composed as Senior Brother Shi Jiang had extended an invitation to the party, Luo Zhe didn't seem to have a reason to refuse. So, he decided to go and check it out.

Thinking this, he nodded to Zhao Ruo and replied, "Okay, senior sister, let's go together tonight."

Zhao Ruo smiled like a sly fox, reminding him, "Remember to wear formal attire! Don't go out in casual clothes looking sloppy."

"Formal attire?" Luo Zhe was a little confused. Why would you need to wear formal attire to a party? It wasn't like he was going on a blind date.

However, today is the last day of October, and he has already used up his only hour of use time in the gravity chamber and trial room this month. It doesn't matter if he relaxes a bit, and he can wear formal attire.

He wanted to see what made tonight's party different from the others.

At 7:30 p. m., Luo Zhe, dressed in a well-fitting blue suit, tidied himself up in front of the mirror before going downstairs.

Downstairs, Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo had been standing for a while. Shi Jiang was wearing a black suit today, but his burly and strong build made the fitted suit look bulging. Standing next to Zhao Ruo, who was petite and wearing a snow-white long dress, they gave off a beauty and the beast vibe.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Zhao Ruo pinched her chin, dragged her long dress, and walked around Luo Zhe twice, making a meaningful sigh. "The young man is quite handsome. Come on, let's hurry, or we'll miss the show."

"A good show?" Luo Zhe and Shi Jiang exchanged a glance, seemingly unable to quite understand the meaning behind Zhao Ruo's words.

"Uh... I mean, if we don't hurry, the party's about to start, let's get going." Zhao Ruo stammered as she explained, but the more she did this, the more Luo Zhe wanted to know what this party was all about.

He turned to Shi Jiang and asked, "Senior Brother Shi Jiang, what's going on at this party tonight?"

Shi Jiang suddenly looked at Luo Zhe with a puzzled expression and asked, "You didn't know? Didn't you invite me to participate?"

The two stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Zhao Ruo, who was wiping her sweat, and exclaimed in unison, "Zhao Ruo (Senior Sister), it must be you!"

Luo Zhe stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at Zhao Ruo, and said, "Senior Sister, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely! Tell me honestly, who organized this party?"

Shi Jiang nodded, crossed his arms, and said, "If this can't be explained clearly, then let's go back." With that, Shi Jiang turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ruo panicked and quickly grabbed Luo Zhe with one hand and Shi Jiang with the other, pleading, "No, no, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

Then, Zhao Ruo told him about Candace's desire to pursue Janet. Candace had organized this party and invited all the trainees from the Training Camp, seemingly intending to confess his feelings to Janet at the party.

"Confessing your feelings is such an interesting thing, it'll be more fun if more people go!" Zhao Ruo held onto the two of them tightly, not letting them leave. "Besides, public confessions like this are rare in the Training Camp, don't you want to go and see it?"

"Also, Luo Zhe, Janet is your senior sister who often practices swordsmanship with you. Don't you want to go and give Janet your sincerest blessings?" Seeing that Shi Jiang was unmoved, Zhao Ruo quickly turned her gun on Luo Zhe and started firing wildly.

"Hehe, Senior Janet has never really liked Candace, so I bet Candace's going to embarrass himself this time." Luo Zhe chuckled mischievously. "Candace wasn't exactly friendly to me before because of William's affair, so seeing him make a fool of himself makes this party worth attending!"

"Well..."

Although the process was a little different from what she had imagined, seeing that she had persuaded Luo Zhe, Zhao Ruo quickly seized the opportunity and said to Shi Jiang in a coquettish tone, "Senior brother, look, Luo Zhe has already agreed, so you should go too. It's all agreed. You can't go back on your word!" She grabbed Shi Jiang's right hand and shook it for a while.

After being tormented by Zhao Ruo, and seeing that Luo Zhe had also betrayed him, Shi Jiang could only sigh and raise his hands in surrender, "Fine, I'll go, okay?"

Seeing that Shi Jiang had also changed his tune, Zhao Ruo nodded in satisfaction and pointed, "Let's go!"

Then, the three of them left Jiangnan Pavilion together.
