Lin Chen stopped and looked back at the figure standing by the entrance, his brows unconsciously drawing together-
Why did that figure look more familiar the longer he looked?
Something stirred in Lin Chen's mind, and he instinctively took another look.
The hood was pulled low, hiding most of the person's face, but something about that presence seemed vaguely familiar. An inexplicable thought rose in his mind:
Could that be Liu Erlong?
Yet the thought had barely flashed through his mind before he dismissed it as absurd.
Liu Erlong and the others should have been desperately fleeing the Heaven Dou Empire right now. Why would she risk returning to the city?
Lin Chen suppressed his doubts and returned to the Spirit Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Sitting in the lounge, he found that the more he thought about it, the more that person seemed like Liu Erlong.
But then again, they were wanted fugitives now. They could hardly hide fast enough, so why would they walk straight into the net and take such an enormous risk by returning to Heaven Dou City?
The more he considered it, the less sense it made. Perhaps he was merely mistaking a bow's reflection in his cup for a snake.
He simply put those tangled thoughts aside, got up, and went to the Mimicry Training Ground, where he cut loose with his teammates in a thoroughly satisfying free sparring session.
Once he had worked up a sweat, those lingering doubts were completely pushed out of his mind.
After that, the days passed one by one. As the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament drew closer, the Sun Never Sets Team dared not slack off anymore. They spent every day in the Mimicry Training Ground, taking turns practicing all sorts of simulated combat scenarios
