Much to his gratitude, the rest of the event went rather smoothly. It wasn't too long before it ended and both Rui and Julian found themselves on a carriage back home.
Julian heaved a tired sigh. "That was more tiring than I had expected."
Rui nodded absentmindedly. He had much to think about.
The first was the offer that the Minister of Martial Art had offered him. The Minister had not made the compensation that he would get from them entirely clear, but it was also clear that they were willing to go quite far for this particular request.
In essence, it had the potential to make the same impact as the Hungry Pain technique did on Martial Art. Increasing the success rate of the breakthrough to the Master Realm was a huge deal.
