Hearing what the pirate woman i La said, the twin Xindo flew ahead with a blank expression, replying, "Yes."
"These past two days, I've been closely watching Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji."
"I feel like sothing is off."
At Xindo's words, the bald boss's face and the runes on the crown of his head glimred red. He kept flying, cocked his head and asked, "Off? In what way?"
The twin Xindo, their two identical faces turning in sync toward the bald boss, said, "I suspect the recent event of Zhao Ji refining the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' is actually just a smokescreen."
Both Xindos wore equally grave expressions. "These two days, I've been calculating the speed at which Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji are refining the region."
"Although they're trying their hardest to control it, I still noticed their refining speed has obviously accelerated."
"For example, before, it took them three hours just to pry away one piece of the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region.' The last few days, not even two hours and a piece disappears."
"For instance, there used to be fifty vehicles transporting Cataclysmic Material, but now, the number of trucks has increased to eighty."
"Don't be fooled by these tiny changes in numbers—the aning behind them is entirely different."
At Xindo's words, i La cut in, "Could it be their strength has improved, or they're simply getting better with experience?"
Both Xindos shook their heads neatly. He replied, "It's possible."
"But... just yesterday, the whole situation changed in an even stranger way."
He glanced at i La with an emotionless look,
"The speed at which Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji refine the region suddenly reverted from two and a half hours back to three hours."
"But the number of trucks transporting Cataclysmic Material increased from eighty, inching up to one hundred and twenty."
Listening to the intel Xindo shared, both the bald boss and the pirate i La frowned subconsciously.
It seed like sothing clicked for i La; her eyes were thoughtful.
The bald boss, after frowning, appeared a bit agitated.
The runes on his face and crown flickered, now red, now green.
After a while, he glared at Xindo and barked, "Stop beating around the bush. What are you trying to say?!"
"Just spill it."
Their relationship was clearly not the typical boss-subordinate kind, so Xindo didn't mind at all.
He still kept his chanical tone, saying, "Boss, what I an is actually simple... this is probably a conspiracy."
He said, "These days, all other forces are analyzing Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji. They suspect Qiu Tu is being tossed into the spotlight to draw everyone's attention—a smokescreen."
"At first, Qiu Tu's three-hour-per-piece refining speed was just covering for Zhao Ji secretly boosting her strength."
"But what if... there never was a smokescreen?"
Xindo paused, then spoke, "What if Qiu Tu is just a prodigy, naturally talented at refining the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region'?"
"Maybe his real talent was doing each region in three hours all along."
"And when he realized this speed was shockingly fast, he deliberately got Zhao Ji to help him cover it up."
"So, I'm guessing that in these past two days... he most likely has already refined all the regions, and started stockpiling the 'Cataclysmic Power' in the controlled areas to boost the 'Energy Level Area.'"
Here he paused, then added, "That's why he's gone into hiding, letting Zhao Ji take the heat, with those two waves of change in refining speed as the result."
Hearing Xindo's words, the bald boss was instantly shaken: !!
The runes on his face started flashing red all at once. He glared at Xindo and retorted, "How is that possible?"
"Refining a 'Boundless Heart Sea' region in three hours."
"If it's really like you say, then his refining speed is faster than an Eighth Rank! Even faster than a 'Heavenly God Reincarnation' blessed by the World Origin!"
"That's his own innate talent?"
"Then he's no re 'Heavenly God' favored by the 'World Origin'! He's the World Origin's freaking father!"
"Boom!" As the bald boss spat out this wild remark, the next mont, the heavens above changed in an instant, a muffled thunderclap exploding in everyone's hearts.
This ti, even Xindo, usually expressionless, couldn't help but have a sudden change of face.
The bald boss's face was also filled with shock.
He craned his neck to look up at the sky, quietly sensing for a mont, before exclaiming in surprise, "It's World Sensing?"
"How could it happen this fast?"
He looked toward Xindo and asked, "Has the collapse of the 'Isolation Mountain Range' sped up again?"
At the bald boss's question, Xindo hesitated a bit, then spoke, "The underlings reported it's been accelerating, but there aren't any other anomalies or more prominent changes."
"Normally, 'World Sensing' shouldn't show up at this ti."
"Once 'World Sensing' occurs, it ans the two areas are already at the final stage of fusion, the 'Boundless Heart Sea' gradually starting to take over."
Saying this, he closed his eyes and estimated, then surmised, "If it keeps up at this rate, the fusion of the two regions will probably be shortened to two months, maybe even a month and a half."
He then glanced at the bald boss again and asked, "Boss... should we still make a move?"
And who could bla Xindo for asking? Because 'World Sensing' is no ordinary phenonon.
