To keep the country from running into diplomatic trouble-and, incidentally, to get a six-star resource.
The next day, Luo Yu followed Principal Yue's instructions and arrived at the Secret Realm Transfer Station in the Imperial Capital.
Since this exchange was highly confidential, only Lotus Court's delegation of a few dozen people was present.

They had come specifically to receive the Lotus delegation.
When Luo Yu, the central figure of this exchange, arrived.
A middle-aged man in glasses and a sharp suit spoke up.

Although his Ninja Rank was only first-tier Kage Level, even Principal Yue, who was at the pinnacle of Kage Level, treated him with great courtesy.
Master Karse, the leader of Lotus Court's delegation, smiled at Luo Yu. "So this is the young man who developed Lightning Reversal."
"You certainly are an impressive young man."
Luo Yu nodded, thoroughly enjoying the praise.
Although he wholeheartedly agreed, this was the sort of occasion that called for insincere modesty.
"You're too kind."
Karl Se smiled. "I look forward to your performance."

Its layout was identical to the arena at Imperial Capital University.
The spacious field was the size of two or three soccer pitches, with surrounding stands that could hold tens of thousands of spectators.
Both parties took their seats
