Chapter 3720 Overly Optimistic
The four commanding figures, Cyrus, Wynona, Mia, and Forlevia, returned. Bruno and the eighty students returned in several batches as well. Finally, Heavenly League led by Daxon and Edmund returned as well.
While they were outside, the members of Heavenly League had been discreetly using the super-spiritual ley line to upgrade their cultivation level at Levi’s arrangement. Some of the members even took the pill that Chad provided for their cultivation upgrade.
Although Heavenly League members did not have vast improvement, they were finally just a little weaker than students like Bruno. All of them rushed to the outside of the base, but Levi decided to continue pretending to be severely injured as he waited for the battle to begin.
However, Zoey, Floyd, and the rest knew nothing about Levi’s arrangements as they continued to fortify their defenses.
Everyone was incredibly tense.
Fortunately, these people were skilled individuals who had been through hundreds of battles. Otherwise, the stress alone would have rendered them insane.
Even so, those with important duties were mentally and physically tired. Their willpower was the only thing that kept them upright.
While they got ready for battle, Forlevia returned to the base through the secret tunnel.
It was then the people saw the unfazed expression on Forlevia’s face and heard the soft tune she hummed. It was as if she was in a whole different world from them.
“Kids will always be kids. She doesn’t register the impending danger at all. How is she still capable of smiling like this?”
“Boss is barely holding on to life, but his daughter still seems so nonchalant. How sad is this!”
“Cut it out. Even we adults are almost losing our minds from the stress, let alone a kid like her.”
“Are you saying that something’s wrong with Evie’s mind?”
“Maybe.”
The people talked among themselves, and Forlevia heard everything.
However, she knew that she could not clear things up with them right now.
After using the super-spiritual ley line to metamorphose, Forlevia refined her power to even greater heights.
Even though she did not choose the path of extreme devouring technique, the technique she came up with had as much potential as the extreme devouring technique with the help of the super-spiritual ley line’s spiritual energy.
In other words, the rate of improvement in Forlevia’s technique depended on the environment.
With the divine ley lines and holy ley lines around, the speed of her improvement with her own technique was on par with the extreme devouring technique. In fact, she was not even restricted by the limits of devouring.
“Evie, you never contacted us after leaving. I was so worried!” Zoey grumbled upon seeing Forlevia, but she was simply just feeling worried about her daughter.
“Mommy, I’m sorry to have worried you,” Forlevia apologized.
Zoey ruffled her hair and sighed. “Why did you come back here if you managed to escape?
The tripartite alliance’s fighters are sealing off the place, and we barely have any chance of winning. So, we’ve come to terms with the fact that our lives might end here. Run now. You’ll have a higher chance to flee this place alive with us covering for you.”
“Mommy, the battle is upon us. I’m Daddy and your daughter, so how can I run now?” Forlevia rejected her offer instantly.
“It’s not a matter of making sure that the people stay spirited anymore. It’s unlikely that we’re going to win this,” Zoey said, trying her best to convince Forlevia otherwise.
However, Forlevia nodded and said, “I got it, Mommy. Don’t be too stressed. The tables might turn soon! I’m going to check on Daddy first. Don’t tire yourself out too much.”
Without giving her mother a chance to say anything else, Forlevia ran off.
Zoey could only watch her daughter speed away, perplexed.
My daughter has always been sensible and smart enough to see the big picture, but why can’t she understand the current situation? How can she still say that the tables might turn?
“Isn’t she a little too optimistic?”
Zoey was truly puzzled. Doesn’t she sense the tension coming from the outside?
