The next morning, Xu Le woke from his training.
Muyue had been in excellent condition last night, perhaps because he had not divided his attention to cultivate.

"Our studio has developed a very special piece of equipment, so we may undertake a field Pioneer Mission to test it."
Ai Li immediately frowned at his words.
"You promised me you'd go on the tomb mission
