The Ghost Tamer Alliance guild hall.
In the management conference room on the top floor, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes sat in an intricately carved armchair by the wall, a wand pinched between his fingers.
A fragment of a gemstone set into the end of the wand flashed with a faint blue light twice.
The blond man narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "That Soul of Replication... was used?"
The last Divine Staff Fragment differed from the others in one major way: it could only be used once. Afterward, the fragment itself would disappear, and its energy would be permanently embedded in the skill it had replicated.
That made no sense.
From what he knew of Jun Wuming's abilities, once Jun Wuming had successfully infiltrated that map and discovered his men ahead of time, nothing could have stopped him from obtaining the Divine Staff Fragment.
But knowing Jun Wuming's personality, there was no way he would use the last Divine Staff Fragment in that Trial Map.
Could it be... Jun Wuming hadn't managed to get the fragment?
How could that be...
How could any player in a beginner's Trial Map possibly stand a chance against Jun Wuming?
After his surprise, the blond man's lips curled at one corner. "Heh. Interesting."
The Feng Shui Huan guild hall.
In a fragrant pavilion alive with birdsong and flowers, a middle-aged man in a traditional Chinese-style jacket was drinking tea.
The jade pendant hanging on his chest flashed with a faint blue light twice.
The man's hand paused slightly as he held his teacup. "The last Divine Staff Fragment was used?"
His brows furrowed. A moment later, he sighed and shook his head. "Jun Wuming... actually failed? Lost to a newcomer?"
After sighing, the man smiled faintly. "Interesting."
