rranged for you a new lodging on the city outskirts.
Though it’s smaller compared to your room here, it’s rather quiet there.”

Xia Fei nodded.
“I don’t really mind where I stay.
By the way, why does it seem like everyone is suddenly so interested in the academy? I had a look around; there appears to be tens of thousands of people present.”

Wistful Northgaze waved his hand.
“More than that.
In total, there are 123,177 people, and that’s only after our patriarch carefully filtered the people.
The reasoning behind this is very simple: Your academy has promised to give people soul weapons if they pass.
Who doesn’t want to own a soul weapon? Naturally, the Aurora Clan is no exception.

“You probably already know about the Dark Spiritualists making a comeback and how they’re on their way to The Collapsed Expanse of Founders.
It’s a sign that the Alpha Universe will soon enter a chaotic period! Right now, every organization and clan throughout the Alpha Universe is gearing up for it.

“Though we are a Tier 2 clan according to Chaos Society’s latest clan evaluation, our ranking is enough for us to receive soul weapons from the Spiritualist Association, and we’ll be going there in a few days’ time.
Alas, while we can get a slice of the pie, it’s no more than a drop in the bucket.
The patriarch and I discussed it, and we decided to call over all our clan’s promising youngsters.
Adding those who’re willing to join, we ended up causing the situation at hand.

“We’re sorry for making things difficult for you.
We don’t know how many soul weapons you can obtain from your master, but if possible, please set aside some for the clan’s reserve.” Xia Fei’s great-grandfather, Wistful Northgaze, made this somewhat solemn request.

Xia Fei frowned.
Naturally, he was the Spiritualist in question; if he did not stick to forging only high-grade soul weapons, making common soul weapons as well, it should be fairly doable for him to provide everyone a soulweapon, but the problem was he did not have much Spirit Energy!

Previously in that intense battle, to induce his fiendish blade’s, Nirvana’s, promotion, Xia Fei had used up a large amount of Spirit Energy, and now he only had 120 standard units left in his seventh brain region.
How could he forge several tens of thousands of soul weapons with only that much? Besides, even if Xia Fei had the intention to do that, he lacked the necessary mental strength, so accomplishing would definitely exhaust him to death.

Soul weapons were like guns in the hands of warriors.
At this moment, Xia Fei had finally understood just how terrible the Aurora Clan’s current state.
There were so many clansmen, yet none of them had a soul weapon!

Thinking up to this, Xia Fei stated, “Don’t panic just yet.
I’ll, of course, do my best to help the clan, but I’ll have to discuss this with my master first.”

Wistful Northgaze nodded.
“We’ll have to trouble you with this matter.
On another note, thee patriarch wants you to represent us when our clan receives soul weapons from the Spiritualist Association.
After all, you have a Spiritualist for a master, while the others in the clan are absolutely clueless about this field.
It’s because we lack the eye that we’ve been losing out a lot.”

This was a problem.
Xia Fei and Fuchen’s relationship was unusual.
The Spiritualist Association happened to be what Fuchen hated most.
If Xia Fei made the rash decision of going, Fuchen might feel unhappy.
He was already aware of the man’s feelings toward the old monsters in the Spiritualist circle, and there were still many things Xia Fei would have to rely on Fuchen in the future, so it would be unwise to offend him.

However, the Spiritualist Association had always been a huge temptation to Xia Fei.
Being able to interact with countless Spiritualists was surely better than Xia Fei progressing behind closed doors.

“I’ll need to talk about this with my master, too,” Xia Fei said after giving the matter some thought.

“Of course, it’s important to show respect to your master.
This is our Aurora Clan’s practice as well…”

People who were too kind-hearted tended to be very long-winded.
Xia Fei’s comment to defer this decision actually got mistaken by Wistful Northgaze as a show of respect to his master, eliciting verbose compliments from the old man.
How was Wistful Northgaze to know that Xia Fei’s stomach had been doing flips at the moment? Hearing such universal truths annoyed Xia Fei to no end, so he quickly found an excuse to escape from hearing anymore.

He took some time to pay Iron Tiger and his comrades a visit, instructing them to start preparatory work: Make sense of what these people were made of and, more importantly, identify if they had hearts of steel, which were suited for combat.
As for those people who were too soft-hearted, it was better to send them back home sooner rather than later.

After he was done with his instructions, Xia Fei left to go see Fuchen and relayed to him the Aurora Clan’s current situation.

“That’s really quite a problem.
Equipping the entire Aurora Clan… Even I can’t do that, much less you.
The lowest requisite to forge a soul weapon is three Spirit Energy standard units; how many tens of thousands of Spirit Energy would that be?! It’s impossible.
No one can obtain that much energy all at once.

“Besides, forging so many soul weapons at one go will require hundreds of Spiritualists working day and night.
There’s just you alone.
Even if you exhaust yourself to death in the process, you still won’t be able to complete that many soul weapons.” Old Fuchen waved his hand dismissively.

“As for you representing the clan during its visit to the Spiritualist Association, I don’t really have an opinion.
It’s good for you to see more of the Alpha Universe, for you can at least eventually understand the Spiritualists that now populate it and the state that they’re currently in.”

Xia Fei smiled.
“I’m glad that you’re not against me taking a look at the Spiritualist Association.
As for the requirement to forge a soul weapon… I do have a solution.”

“What solution?” Fuchen asked, curious.

“Since we can’t forge that many soul weapons, let’s just steal.” Xia Fei shrugged as he said this matter-of-factly.

Fuchen nearly collapsed to the ground.
Steal? How was that a solution?!

The next day, Xia Fei secretly went to the Heavenly Treasure Firm and sought Suzu Treasure.
When that was done, he took a token from the Aurora Clan without resting first and headed straight to the rendezvous point that Chaos Society had set: Ibis Galaxy.

All the clans that had qualified to receive soul weapons sent representatives to the local sites of the Spiritualist Association to pick up those.
