Getting his share of the money, Kenji headed for the Fairy Market to buy a call stone.

  After getting the call stone, Kenji returned to the notice area and waited for Duy and Muhammed.

  Before long, it was 6:30, and there was still no sign of either of them.

  Kenji didn’t wait around any longer and headed to the [Hunters School] to meet up with Mary.

  “Round Table is the biggest gathering place of all the powerhouses of the Ki Path…

  …..

  ………

  ……………

  To become a registered member of the Round Table, one needs to become an Emperor-level powerhouse…..”

  “Teacher, what is an Emperor?”

  “We were going to learn it in another class, but since you asked, an Emperor is someone who has undergone two transformations. Not only can they freely travel through space, but they can live for millions of years…..”

  “Teacher, then an Emperor could have seen dinosaurs, right? Can we ask an Emperor to tell us about dinosaurs?” A dinosaur lover asked excitedly.

  He had always been fascinated by dinosaurs, and if possible, he wanted to ride one.

  “Probably.” From what Mary learned, Emperor-level powerhouses can live for millions of years, but she wasn’t certain if an Emperor-level powerhouse had visited Earth during the time of dinosaurs or not.

  “But we don’t have any Emperors. Perhaps if you all work hard, one day you can become an Emperor and find a fellow Emperor who might have dinosaurs as pets.” Hearing Mary’s answer, many boys felt their blood pumping.

  Which young boy isn’t fascinated by dinosaurs?

  “As I was saying, to become a member of the Round Table, one needs to be Emperor level. The same requirement applies to the Soul Palace, Mystery Cave, and Magic Council…

  ……

  …………..

  ……

  Okay, that’s it for today. Remember to come by tomorrow on time.”

  Stolen novel; please report.

  Finally, the class was over, and Mary helped with packing their stuff.

  “How was yesterday? I heard all the treasure chests were snatched away by parties who invested in treasure-seeking gifts.” Seeing the kids leave the school, Mary walked over to Kenji and asked.

  After getting the news that treasure chests respawn after the Monster Tide, all wealthy parties invested in helping their members acquire treasure-seeking Gifts.

  With the help of these gifts, parties were easily able to find the treasure chests scattered across the wilderness.

  “I told you about Zhen and the others, right?” Seeing Mary nod her head, Kenji continued. “They are very familiar with the Grey Hound area, and yesterday we found two Silver chests and three Bronze chests. Zhen opened both Silver chests and found a grade 4 broadsword, which was sold for……..”

  Kenji told Mary all the details of what happened yesterday.

  “Good, you got your first Gift.” Hearing that Kenji had a lot of money lying around, Mary was delighted; it seemed it wouldn’t be long before she would reunite with her baby brother.

  “Since [Recovery] is helping with your Ki shortage problem, then next you can either get [Heighten Senses] or [Rapid].

  [Heighten Senses] can help you stay alert and even warn you of upcoming danger, while [Rapid] can help you get away in desperate situations. Which one do you like better?”

  Mary brought out a stats window of the two gifts while introducing their general use.

  “I think… [Rapid] is… good.” Kenji thought for a while before answering.

  Currently, his only way of running away was the E-rank skill [Flash], but after using it a few times his reserves would be empty, and he wouldn’t be able to fight if the monster chasing him caught up.

  So, he decided to go with [Rapid], as it could make him run faster without draining his Ki.

  “With [Rapid], you can easily get away. And for your third Gift, you should choose [Dual Soul], which can help you a lot.”

  [Dual Soul

  Rank: D

  Type: Gift

  Perk: Two Souls

  Description: Allow the bearer to host two souls in a single body.]

  Mary displayed [Dual Soul] before telling Kenji about her plan.

  “Although [Dual Soul] isn't much help to us who walk the Path of Ki, when combined with the C-rank gift [Clone], it will be the same as having a second body.

  The best part is, the second body doesn't necessarily have to be on the Ki Path; it can be either Magic or Soul.” As Mary spoke, a frantic look became visible on her face.

  Seeing the perverted look on Mary's face, Kenji felt a chill run down his spine and felt uncomfortable.

  But as Mary went on and on about the advantages of having a second body, Kenji began leaning toward the idea.

  It wasn't long before Mary successfully convinced Kenji to strive for [Dual Soul] as his third gift.

  Giving Mary the gift, Kenji left the [Hunters School], bought the materials needed for the [Rapid] gift, and headed home.

  Returning to his room, Kenji sacrificed the materials and the Heavenly Aura descended.

  However, for Kenji with a Bronze body, passing the trial didn’t pose any difficulty, and before long he had an additional gift.

  “I just hope the materials for [Dual Soul] aren't that expensive.” Before heading to sleep, Kenji daydreamed about the idea of his clone doing all the hard work while he stayed at home chilling.

  But Kenji was concerned about the price of the materials needed for the gift, as the E-rank gift [Rapid] costs 34 gold coins, and the price of the materials needed for the sacrifice of a C-rank gift is going to be many times more expensive.

  It wasn't long before Kenji drifted into sleep.

  [Ancient Calendar: 25 Mar 0001]

  The next day, Kenji popped a food pill, picked up the call stone he bought yesterday, and headed for the city gate.

  “You got here early.” By the time Kenji arrived at their gathering place, only Zhen was there, with no sign of Joon and Anon.

  The only reason Kenji was able to cover 15 kilometers of distance in such a short time was all thanks to the [Rapid] gift he got yesterday.

  A few moments after Kenji arrived, both Joon and Anon were spotted from a distance.

  “Today you are early?”

  “Did you not sleep last night?”

  Seeing Kenji already there, both of them were surprised. They lived near the city gate, which made it easier for them to get there, but Kenji lived almost on the other side of the city.

  “I used [Flash]...to get here…quickly.” Hearing that Kenji used a skill to get there, both of them backed down.

  “Did you buy the call stone?”

  “Yes.”

  Kenji added the three of them to his call stone, and then they headed for the wilderness.
