Within the Format Pyramid, Baze's projected image seemed to be filled with a layer of clouds and dust, but there was the glimmer of starlight within.
Luo Nan's mind shifted over and saw the starlight flow like a river. It rippled within the Format Pyramid, and there were layers of dark surging waves that pushed Baze's image up and down. It was an extraordinary scene.
However, the current situation could not be supported purely by aesthetics.
The uncontrollable growth of soul strength and the capacity of the Hollow Depository broke through the limit. This caused the interference between the mental and material planes to continue to increase, and the interference to the Format Pyramid grew stronger and stronger.
Luo Nan was a bit worried. The layout of the Format Pyramid and the ranks of his believers would undergo a huge change when he woke up.
Fortunately, this situation had not occurred yet. His mind swept over Baze's image, triggering a certain key. A long black shadow pierced through the clear waves of starlight. It was the materialization of the order frame, the dark chains. This marvelous chain was like a flood dragon. It bobbed up and down in the endless river of stars, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Right now, it was circling around the periphery of Baze's image. It made a slight sound, and the meaning behind it was probably a guide for Baze's order.
That night at Frost River Reality, An Weng had tried to control the demon, but he had not succeeded. The uncontrollable chaos element transmitted through internal channels and corroded life. This was the most important reason why the elites of the Order were wiped clean.
Baze had been attacked back then. He had nearly exploded and died. In his despair, he had sought out Fairchild, hoping to obtain a dignified death. After Fairchild had restrained Baze, he had asked Luo Nan to use his order frame to help Baze comb out a new path of life.
Luo Nan had indeed succeeded. Although Baze's life essence had been completely corroded and replaced by the chaos element, Luo Nan had established a brand new binding order upon this chaos. Baze relied on this to live in this world.
But because of this, Baze's life was in Luo Nan's hands.
Of course, Luo Nan had been asked by Fairchild to save Baze. He did not want to do anything to Baze. Luo Nan did not think that a strong person like Baze would be able to control him if he were to harden his heart and seek death.
After that night, Luo Nan did not attempt to do anything to Baze. He was admitted to the hospital for treatment, distressed by the increased loss of control over his soul strength. Fairchild was summoned back by the upper echelons of the Order of Justice for questioning and investigation. The two sides did not contact each other. Many times, Luo Nan simply forgot about this matter.
The unforeseen event of the Mystic Arts Research Society made Luo Nan's train of thought circle around. He was thinking: Should I get in touch with this person?
Luo Nan hesitated for a moment, but he didn't make his next move.
Aside from the Wraith Sign and Ink, Luo Nan had not used this channel to contact or control anyone. It was one thing to treat a Darksider species that lacked intelligence and his own pets. But it was another thing to treat Xie Junping, Cat Eyes, and Baze, a highly intelligent life form.
He didn't know what the Order Framework could do.
Moreover, contacting Baze because of the Mystic Arts Research Society was a little funny. After all, in the eyes of a powerhouse like Baze, the level of a school society was too low.
Luo Nan shook his head, and his mind left.
As the saying goes, "Cultivation knows no sun or moon." To a large extent, it referred to the complete loss of one's grasp of time in the outside world when one was in a state of meditation. Luo Nan felt that he had walked a full circle in the Format Pyramid interface. In reality, nearly half an hour had already passed.
The Phantom flew all the way in autopilot mode and entered the River Wu District. The car's AI had long since entered Xue Lei's reserved address and designed a route. Soon, it brought Luo Nan to the Boshan Building where the Divine Yu Gym was located.
This was a large standalone high-rise building. It occupied an area of over a hundred acres. Its name was Boshan, and its design was an imitation of the ancient Boshan Furnace. It was a very famous landmark building in the River Wu District.
Boshan Building was shaped like a mountain, wide at the bottom and sharp at the top. The lower level was a tidy office building, and the upper level was a business district with stacked heavy rocks. Various stores were scattered within, and there was an extremely brilliant green aerobic track that circled around the building and reached the sky garden at the very top.
This should be one of the highest class business districts in the River Wu District. Gym Master Xiu must be quite wealthy to be able to open a store here and open a gym.
Luo Nan parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator to the high level business district. He then contacted Xue Lei and soon found the location of the Divine Yu Gym under Xue Lei's guidance.
If the Boshan Building was viewed as an artificial mountain, then the Divine Yu Gym should be located in the area halfway up the mountain. It did not take up a large amount of space. It was an open style building with an ancient courtyard. The building was limited by the topography of the business district. The three courtyards were pushed up, occupying a corner of the building facing the sun. It was as if the building was built against the mountain. It was extremely elegant.
Though it was located in the bustling business district, the front of the gym was quite simple. A simple signboard with the words "Divine Yu" hung on it. It was upright and proper. There was no money left behind, and it lacked any distinguishing features.
Xue Lei rushed out to welcome Luo Nan at this time. He was wearing the light gray training clothes that Luo Nan had seen him in for the first time. There was a symbol of a three-legged cauldron on his chest. His muscles bulged out the training clothes, making him look even more majestic.
Luo Nan's gaze stopped on the three-legged cauldron symbol for a moment. He suddenly thought of the gym master's name. Of course, it was also the name of this gym. It was very likely that the gym master's name really came from the story of Yu Forging the Nine Cauldrons.
A person was like their name. Looking at the appearance and layout of the gym, Gym Master Xiu Shenyu was indeed an old-school figure.
Xue Lei didn't know what Luo Nan was thinking in an instant. He grinned, a bit embarrassed. "Nanster, the gym master is currently teaching a small class. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit. Half an hour is fine."
Luo Nan wasn't in a hurry. "It's nothing. Oh right. Can I listen in for a bit?"
Xue Lei scratched his head when he heard this. "Uh, this class won't do. They're all seven or eight year old kids. They're all unstable. Once they fall apart, it'll be hard to gather them again …. Let's go to the Mind Study first and wait a bit. "
Luo Nan didn't insist. He followed Xue Lei inside. He was just a bit curious. "The gym master is personally teaching the children?"
When Luo Nan was young, his aunt and uncle had signed up for a few martial arts classes for the sake of training the children's bodies. It wasn't easy to see the owner of the class. Normally, the class was taught by a coach ….
Uh, the gym and the training classes were different.
"There are few people in the gym. It's hard to allocate them. Plus, it's important for the children to build their foundations. So the gym master is personally coming."
Xue Lei turned his head to look. He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there are very few children who can persevere. They can't endure the hardships. The gym master also said that there aren't many who truly fit his path. There's no need to forcefully sculpt them, but he can't mislead the students. From a mischievous rock to an unpolished jade, it's enough to shine through. Maybe one day they'll be enlightened, and they'll be able to rely on this path. "
Luo Nan laughed as he looked at Xue Lei. "So what you're saying is that you fit the gym master's path?"
Xue Lei wasn't polite at all. "Yeah. The gym master once said that I'm quite similar to him when he was young."
