Monday.
"Fortune has smiled upon us." Karni began his speech in front of the Special Class. "I know you've been nervous. There is only a week left until the exam. As I promised on Friday, this week, we'll have a special training week. I've invited some friends from Shrek Academy that will work as practice partners. Your seniors in the Advanced Academy have also volunteered to help whenever they can. But most importantly…"
Karni looked to the sky and nodded.
A person flew down, seven rings shining around them.
She stepped forward. "Meixiang, Ruoye, Enru. I see you've grown." She looked at another few students. "And I see we have some new faces. Teacher Val, Teacher Wu, will you please introduce me."
"This is Teacher Ye. She had raised myself, Siduo, Li Tai and Yu Tian to the level we were able to pass Shrek Exams with ease. But as you know, that is not your goal. We have been training you to surpass that. And Teacher Ye here is the final key to that plan. Seriously, Teacher Ye," Karni looked to her, "you could not have finished your cultivation at a better time."
"Let's start with the warmup right away." Siduo said.
Karni and Teacher Ye stepped forward, their Soul Rings summoned.
Karni placed his palms on the ground, Blooming Loti sprouting. Teacher Ye stepped right into the middle of that, her fifth Soul Ring activated. Gravity.
"Teacher Ye, can you do twice of that power?"
"Oh?" She smiled. "Of course."
The Gravity intensified, even the Lotuses on the field lowered a good amount, but the Spiritual suppression didn't.
"Put these on." Siduo threw metal chains on the ground. "Ten laps, then we go to sparring practice."
… … …
Tuesday.
"Thanks for coming." Karni said.
Four people stood in front of the Special Class.
"No problem, Karni." Yue Zhengyu smiled. "We all know about the bet. We might as well help."
Xu Xiaoyan, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui stood in front of them.
"Alright. These are four of the seven current Shrek Seven Devils." Karni clapped and turned to the Special Class. "We start with individual practice then we'll move to a group battle. We'll be mixing you up in various teams, so you get to see how it is like cooperating with one of the devils. Now, for starters." He turned to Siduo.
She nodded and stepped forward. "Yue Zhengyu will work with Qiang Enru. Zhengyu, if you can focus on your Angel Sword and how you use light, we would appreciate it."
Yue Zhengyu nodded.
"Yuanen Yehui will partner with Nan Genji and Qin Ming. You three already know the drill." Siduo said to Yehui who also nodded.
"Xie Xie, you will partner with Meixiang. You two have also been sparring often, so I don't think I need to say anything."
"Finally, Xu Xiaoyan, will partner with Xu An and Qiang Ruoye. Karni will also join in. We cannot offer you an exact experience that will help you, so we will train you in how to fight control masters. An, Ruoye, do watch out. Those two are both control types, but their styles are very different. If you can do anything at all, you can consider it a win."
Karni stepped forward. "If you want to try yourselves against any one of us, you can do so after practice, the four of them have agreed to it. Also, for the team battles later one, Tie Tiao and Tie Fai will join us. But enough of that. Let's begin."
Xu Xiaoyan stepped next to him. "Aren't you a bit too rude in placing us together?"
"We aim to get them above 90 points. We both know how difficult that is. We gotta be rude."
Xu Xiaoyan tapped her chin. "Then I won't hold back."
… … …
Wednesday.
"Let me introduce you to the other three members of the current Shrek Seven Devils. These are Ye Xinglan, the master of the sword, Xu Lizhi, the food type Soul Master, and Gu Yue, the current captain of the Shrek Seven Devils."
"Temporary captain." Gu Yue added. "The true captain is away on a mission."
"Indeed. For two more years." Karni said aloud, more for Gu Yue than anyone else. He heard the tiniest of sighs of relief come out of her. Unnoticeable on her face, but detected in her breathing.
Siduo stepped forward. "Today we will start with a group match. The three Shrek Seven Devils against all of you. No, Jianyu, Chao, that does not include you. Get to the intermediate academy first."
Karni interrupted. "Alright, everyone on the field. You've got ten seconds. Later on, Hu Fuya and Song Daiyu will also join. They end their classes in an hour. Make sure you make the most of it, the Shrek Seven Devils won't visit anymore."
Jianyu and Wang Chao approached Siduo. "Sis. This isn't fair! This kind of opportunity doesn't just happen."
Siduo looked at her little brother. "Lil bro, I'm friends with them. They won't visit anymore this year. But the next year and the one after? They'll visit a few times. Don't be impatient. Right now, you cannot gain much by actually sparring against them, because they would have to get down on your level. Instead, watch as they let loose. Three against six, they will have to let loose, even if they are powerful. Watch and learn."
Jianyu took the words to heart. The strictness of his sister had tempered his mind somewhat the past year. He knew to trust her words by now, whether they be threatening or kind.
"Besides, Jianyu. Remember that test you tried at the start of the year? Prepare for tomorrow. Get as much information about battle as you can from this."
The fight began, and Jianyu's eyes focused. Wang Chao sat next to him in equal focus. She remembered that deal as well. It was delayed so she could have a chance too.
They learned and focused. But the ones going through the intense training was the Special Class. And as has been the whole week, they have only been losing.
… … …
Thursday.
The Special Class was not in school today. Jianyu and Chao were with them.
"Tang Sect Museum?" Qiang Ruoye questioned.
"Ho? Teacher Val, can you two do that?" Lan Meixiang questioned.
"They can." Teacher Ye answered instead of them. "They've proven themselves and have enough influence by now to recommend people. I'm also recommending one in their name, since they cannot recommend seven people at the same time."
"This isn't fair. We had to wait a whole year!" Jianyu complained.
Siduo facepalmed. "They've proven themselves as well, just like you and Wang Chao have. The only difference is that they did not even know. Now shush."
The group entered the museum backrooms and an elevator. "Little Ye, Little Val, Little Wu of Star Luo City. Welcome. I see there is quite many of you." A person answered instead of a robotic voice. There was a big group, so a staff member took over.
"They're here for the exam." Val Karni answered.
"Good. Floor 22 then."
The group travelled down the elevator. The kids stepped into a small room of metal and machinery.
"Hm. Good luck." Karni said and felt as the kids taking the test were teleported out of the room and into the test area.
"Huh. So that's what happened to us back then." Siduo wondered out loud. It was the first time they saw the test from the perspective of the teacher.
Teacher Ye chuckled. "Indeed." She looked to Lan Meixiang. "How does it feel?"
"It's a bit funny. When I suddenly saw a similar room, but you were gone, I was in a panic, now I'm just holding back a laugh."
A screen showed up where they could see all five tests going on.
Jianyu was facing Bei Bei. Lightning vs Lightning. White Cat vs Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Wang Chao was facing Tang Ya. Tang Ya was the Master of the Tang Sect in Huo Yuhao's time. It was Durvillaea vs Bluesilver Grass. Plant vs Plant.
Qiang Enru was facing a Swordmaster. A man who could be said to have raised the level of fighting with weapons through Intent. He was the first to reach the peak of the sword through understanding and paved the way for the understanding people have of comprehension today. He was the Swordmaster of the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago. Sword Fanatic Ji Juechen.
Qiang Ruoye was facing a master of destruction. She was perhaps having the hardest battle of them all. She was facing a specialist of Soul Tools and artillery. The Origin of Destruction. It was time for her to realise the potential of her handguns, as well as to see the possibilities of explosiveness. The perfect one to teach her that was He Caitou.
Nan Genji was facing Xiao Xiao. The control-defence system Twin Martial Soul Master. The reason they wanted her to face Xiao Xiao was simple. Her way of defence was quite unique, using her Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldron. While Nan Genji wouldn't be able to steal any techniques from her, she could at least see what types of defence exist in the world. Everyone was familiar with the straightforward Body defence and Shield based defence. This was yet another unique scenario.
Interestingly, Xu An was also facing Xiao Xiao, but she had to face her Nine Phoenix Dancing Flute more than the Three Lives Soul Sealing Cauldron. The reason why was obvious. It was to test her capability of music. If she couldn't defeat the advanced level version of Xiao Xiao, Karni would be disappointed.
Finally, Qin Ming was facing someone with a pink dragon Martial Soul. The dragon excelled in long ranged combat, and its attacks were very destructive, but it also excelled in close combat. Qin Ming had a similar style when he fought alone after all the training. He strengthened his body by writing with his Chalk on it, or he drew creatures that overwhelmed opponents from afar. He was fighting Nan Qiuqiu. The Rouge Dragon. Another key personnel that helped revitalise the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago.
All of these tests today were to challange their abilities. Karni and Siduo even asked for a little favour and used contribution points to give them a proper challenge. The point was to expand their horizons. To see what they were missing in their own battle styles.
"Meixiang, who did you face?"
"Tang Wutong, though only in her butterfly forms. She never brought out the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Mm. Based on records, Tang Wutong didn't have Soul Rings on the hammer until later on in her life." Siduo nodded.
They watched the further battles, and the battles were progressing… well, the kids were suffering quite a bit.
Only two of them made it to the Advanced stage. The first was Qiang Enru. He was a Soul Elder, but that alone was not good enough to defeat someone like Ji Juechen. The kid had a mid-battle breakthrough in wielding the Lightsaber. Apparently, Ji Juechen really was the correct choice for the kid. That and the fact he faced two people with swords the previous two days seemed to add onto the experience… The kid, in just half a year since he got the Lightsaber, had reached the Lightsaber Consciousness level. He was a great talent.
The other one was Xu An, which made Karni proud, since she was the one Karni had focused on the most. This battle just proved it all. Her comprehension of Sound was high, she had understood the Element's Heart by now, and she had also reached the Spirit Sea Realm. With this final little test, she could officially take the Shrek Exam with Karni's approval.
On the other hand, the one who suffered most was arguably the one that was considered the strongest outside of Lan Meixiang. Qiang Ruoye. She was already a Soul Elder now, but she, unlike her brother, was not yet efficient at using weapons. She barely passed the first intermediate trial. However, that would at least give her something to think about. Karni got the impression that after this, her style would only become more destructive.
"Teachers, who did you two get?" Lan Meixiang asked as the group was walking toward the exhausted Special Class.
"I fought Bei Bei, just like my brother. Though in my case, it was more a test of strength and endurance."
"And I fought Xu Sanshi, which was quite annoying because I wasn't proficient at dealing with defence types back then."
"What level did your reach?"
"Advanced." Both of them answered.
Lan Meixiang was quiet. She herself struggled against Tang Wutong. She did not reach the Advanced level.
The three teachers and one student entered to see a bunch of sorry looking kids.
"Good, good." Karni began. "What you just took was a test to enter a sect. It is a righteous sect with a long and proud history. Now it is time to make a decision. Will you join it or not? If you do, there is no going back. All I will say is that I can personally guarantee the values of the sect."
The kids all looked at each other, same thoughts running through them all. They all nodded. They would join the sect. They did not have to think through this that hard.
"In that case," Karni smiled, feeling almost giddy that he got to say this, "welcome to the Tang Sect."
… … …
Friday.
Eight people stood in front of the Special Class. Three were their teachers: Teacher Ye, Teacher Val and Teacher Wu. Four were their seniors from the Star Luo City Academy: Hu Fuya, Song Daiyu, Tie Tiao and Tie Fai. The last person was one they couldn't recognise.
"Today we have an unexpected guess. I will be honest, this was not the plan at the start of the week, but this is yet more fortune coming for us. Everyone, I would like for you to meet Na'er, my senior disciple sister. She is the direct disciple of the current Sea God Pavilion Master."
Na'er stepped forward. She really was an unexpected guest. She came here after she found out Gu Yue came here. She was curious what Karni was doing. "I'm curious how strong the strongest of you is."
Karni nodded. "Lan Meixiang, step forward. You will face my senior disciple sister. Show her what you've learnt."
Lan Meixiang nodded. Na'er and her moved to the field.
"After this battle, we will do some final group battles. I'll be thankful if you can join, Na'er."
"I'll think about it." She said.
The battle started. Na'er revealed her powers. She was a Soul King now. Three Purple and two Black Soul Rings were on her. The same configuration Gu Yue showed two days ago.
Lan Meixiang revealed herself as well. Three Purple Soul Rings. She had Two Yellow and One Purple at the start of the semester. In fact, all of the kids had only Purple Soul Rings by now.
The battle started. The Orchid Mantis faced the Silver Dragon Spear.
Na'er simply stood there in the middle of the field. She only moved her hands.
On the other hand, Lan Meixiang circled around her, waiting for an opportunity. The opportunity did not come, because Na'er swung her spear forwards without using her Soul Rings.
Lan Meixiang intended to just take it on, but her torso bent inwards, and she was thrown away wildly. Karni smiled from the start, as he saw the shock on his student's face. Na'er was a true student of Yun Ming.
Lan Meixiang attempted to circle Na'er again but found herself having to dodge much more than she'd want to. She had to start using her Orchid Jump constantly if she wanted to have a chance at a counterattack at all. Every time she tried to attack with Orchid Aim from afar, the attack would be interrupted in just the perfect way to mess with her rhythm as well.
Lan Meixiang saw no further way but to go all out. She fused two abilities together. Her third and first Soul Ring. Orchid Aim and Orchid Scythe. It was her most powerful combination. She learned to genuinely fuse her Soul Rings. A physical sharpness of her scythe that aimed at the target and could even follow it.
It was here that Na'er first used her Soul Rings. Her first one. A simple, yet intently powerful thrust. It was like she was piercing the very space. The attack got destroyed instantly.
Lan Meixiang did not let up however. She could tell this person was leagues ahead of her. Three of her Soul Rings fused together. Orchid Scythe, Orchid Jump and Orchid Aim. An attack where Lan Meixiang herself became the Sharp Scythe to cut down the enemy, one that would follow and attempt to hit no matter what.
Karni would have almost jumped in when Na'er's Soul Rings shone, if not for the fact he saw Lan Meixiang's golden shadow dodging ahead of time. He had very rarely sparred with Na'er, but the few times he did, he knew how dangerous she was. She was on the same level as Wulin, Gu Yue and Siduo. Who would win would depend on the flow of the battle.
Then Na'er started using her second Soul Ring as well. Lan Meixiang was barely keeping intact. The second ability managed to indent piercing pressure on a small area.
Yet Lan Meixiang managed to survive the combinations of even that. However, she was only running away. She had no chance to attack.
Wait, no. Karni's eyes widened. Lan Meixiang took Na'er's first soul skill directly on, letting it injure her, then she attacked. Siduo, who was next to him, grumbled. "That idiot."
However, what happened next surprised them both. Lan Meixiang was enveloped in Soul Power. A bloom of an Orchid sprouted, leaves spreading from her whole body, granting her a partial transformation and strengthening.
A fourth purple Soul Ring bloomed from her body. She had reached the Soul Ancestor Realm.
Na'er activated her own fifth Soul Ring to honour that. Her spear pierced forward, two elements, Water and Fire dancing on it. It was called the Elemental Pierce. From what Karni could tell, she could have put more elements on her spear but decided to thankfully hold back.
All of Lan Meixiang's might was defeated in a single, powerful, but simple piercing attack filled with dangerous steam. Lan Meixiang laid on the ground, injured and barely able to catch her breath.
Karni sighed. "At least the injury brought that. I'll call the medical room. She is forbidden from practicing during the weekend. She needs to fully heal before the exams."
"Agreed." Siduo said and walked onto the field. Na'er had used that single powerful ability to stop the charge of the Orchid Bloom, but she also completely shut it down, so no further injury would appear.
"Impressive. She will definitely get above ninety points." Na'er commented.
"You know about the bet too?" Siduo asked.
"Of course I do. Teacher had been talking about it a lot the past few days. Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret from him with how well they're doing. However, for a price." She turned to Karni.
Karni smiled as he heard that. "I knew you were here for a reason."
"When is my big brother coming back?"
Karni was taken aback. "That's all?"
"You weren't exactly clear the last time we talked. We barely talked in fact."
"Fine, fine. Two years. I'm not sure exactly when. Even I don't see the future to that extent."
Na'er smiled. "Thanks. Now then, you guys mentioned group battles?"
Siduo jumped in. "Yes. Let's begin right away. Lan Meixiang, rest."
… … …
Monday.
Special Class boarded the train that would take them to Shrek City. Karni, Siduo and Teacher Ye were the accompanying teachers. Jianyu and Wang Chao were given permission to come as well, though they were here mostly to sightsee.
In a few hours they arrived at Shrek City. Karni and Siduo were already filled with a bit of nostalgia. Shrek City was busy. It was always busy during the exam season. Karni and Siduo got hotels close to the academy. They had enough contacts to do it. In the lounge, Karni addressed the students.
"Alright, listen up. We're here a week only, as is everyone else. Your job is simple. Stay in your rooms, come out to eat, do not leave the hotel. Everyone is to focus on cultivation. Think about the past week. Think of what you learned, internalise it. When the exams start on Saturday, make sure you can use what you learned."
Xu An raised her hand. "Teacher Val, what will be in the exams?"
"No one knows. Only the Shrek Pavilion knows. No test is like the one before. Be ready for anything."
Xu An lowered her hand, looking unsatisfied.
"Anything else?" Karni asked. No one raised a hand.
"Good. That's that. Go to your rooms and cultivate."
Karni, Siduo and Teacher Ye were left alone. Teacher Ye chuckled. "It feels like it was just yesterday that you two were here. It's only been three years. Who would have thought you'd be here now."
Karni and Siduo looked at each other. "Say, Teacher Ye, can you watch out for the children the next week. Na'er kind of told us last week that our teachers want to see us. We'll be looking over the exams as they progress."
"Sure." Teacher Ye smiled. "You two go."
… … …
"You look nervous, Karni." Yun Ming was smiling.
"Any good teacher would be nervous for their students."
"If you're that worried about them passing, I suppose you've already lost the bet."
Siduo scoffed on the other side. "Pavilion Master, we're nervous for them because we care about them. They'll pass with ease. If they can't, no one can."
Yun Ming was taken aback.
Karni smiled. "Just watch."
It was the dawn of the exams. Xu An, Qin Ming, the Qiang siblings, Nan Genji and Lan Meixiang were all lined up at the entrance to the academy.
"So the girl made it, eh?" Shishi spoke. She was also looking at the ceremony on the side.
"Mm. Her attitude still needs a bit of an adjustment, but her mind for cultivation has been thoroughly reformed." Karni said seriously.
"And Qin Ming?"
"He has become great at many things. His Chalk gives him a lot of versatility. You'll see."
"I do hope you know that Xu An and Qin Ming will not count toward the bet." Yun Ming reminded.
"Of course. Don't worry, teacher."
"Pha. Worry? I want you to lose. That way I can give you some proper three-year training."
"Yeah." Karni smiled. "Not happening. Me and Sisi will enjoy another two years in Star Luo City Academy."
"Hm. Let the exams do the talking." Yun Ming turned back to the screen they used to watch the exams.
… … …
"You bitches." Karni cursed, then held his mouth when he realised these were still technically his elders. They made the exams extra difficult this year. The test for Spirituality was a detailed illusion with very, very tiny discrepancies that the students had to notice to get points. The faster they did it, the more points they got.
"Us? Look at you? How did you train them?" Yun Ming was in equal disbelief, but he took no offense to the cursing. If anything, people like Karni were a breath of fresh air in that way. He was all too used to people being careful around him.
The kids were progressing smoothly. Qiang Enru had an especially good eye for detail. The kid was not as sociable with the others. He only really talked regularly with his sister, even after a whole year of cooperation. Though he still excelled at working inside a team when fighting.
Enru found out about the illusion only ten seconds in.
They really did excel as a team. They moved through the exams the fastest out of all the groups.
The only exam that surprised even Karni was the exam for professions. It turned out that Lan Meixiang and Qiang Enru were both already at the fourth rank. But the biggest surprise was Qin Ming. Despite the fact the kid was not allowed to do designing the past year, the kid made a breakthrough in the middle of the exam. He became a 5-Star Designer.
"He reminds me of someone." Yun Ming said then. Karni had a similar breakthrough, or at least consolidation of his rank, during the exam.
The worst performer was Nan Genji. She was the one who was playing catchup the most. She had the most ordinary education until a year ago after all. However, she showed her powers as well. The Willpower test. The test was based on weight a body could carry.
First, they tested how much weight a Soul Master could normally lift, then they based the results on how much the Soul Masters could surpass that without the use of Soul Power.
Nan Genji got full points and then some on that test.
The most well-balanced one was Lan Meixiang. She was getting constant 9 points and a few 10s.
Qiang Ruoye had been a hit and miss. She either got full points or failed an trial. There was no in-between. Though 'failed' in this case meant she seven points. None of the kids actually failed any of the exams. Luckily, her "failure" only happened a total of three times. She could afford to get another nine points in the future.
Then came the last exam. The test of character. However, it really didn't matter that much to any of the people watching. Yun Ming trusted Karni's judgment of people, and Karni trusted in his students to do the right thing.
And so they did. All that was left was the final judgment of the Three Halls, the only test that stayed completely the same. They all performed well there.
Yun Ming sighed, looking at the final points. The highest performer was Qiang Enru with 97 points. The lowest was Nan Genji with 88.
Everyone else had above 90 points. To be more exact, Qiang Ruoye got exactly 90 points, everyone else got more than that. Three out of the necessary three students got enough points that they would have entered the Inner Academy directly a few years ago. The fourth one only missed the margin by two points.
Yun Ming stood up. He offered a hand to Karni. "My disciple, congratulations. You two have won the bet. You get to be unrestricted for another two years. However, do be warned, when you return, there will be special training for you."
Karni smiled. "I understand. But it is not like we'll stop growing just because I'm Star Luo City Academy. As you said, I still have to become a Soul Emperor by the end."
"Mm. That is a fair point. Go on then. Have fun. And go say hi to your students."
… … …
"Congratulations all of you." Karni and Siduo appeared before the already celebrating group.
"Teacher! We succeeded!" The kids jumped up and forced Siduo and Karni into a group hug.
"Yes, yes you did." Siduo said. "But do be careful. The difficult part starts only now. Shrek is Shrek for a reason."
"Yes!" All of them yelled in unison.
"Mm. We raised them well." Karni pretended to cry.
"And don't forget about our academy." Teacher Ye jumped in. "When you graduate, you'll come to teach just like Karni and Siduo for a time."
"We'll be happy to!" Lan Meixiang said. "Then we can raise our own new Special Class."
"Yes!" Qiang Ruoye exclaimed. "And we'll be able to torture them!"
"Is that what you think about us?" Siduo grinned.
"NO!" She immediately screamed, seeing that smile.
"Sis." Qiang Enru said to distract her. "Think about it. Shrek. You'll be able to find a guy that's actually not scared of you here."
Qiang Ruoye's eyes widened. "You're right! Shrek is the best!"
Karni muttered under his breath. "That's what gets her to think highly of Shrek. Hah."
Teacher Ye grabbed his shoulder. "Now you know how it's like to have weird pupils."
"Heh. I suppose it came full circle." Karni smiled.
"Well then. You've all taken care of your luggage already, right?" Siduo jumped in.
"Yes." The students said.
"Then I suppose it is time to say goodbye. We'll see you in two years when we return to Shrek. Though then, we'll be your seniors instead of your teachers." Siduo smiled.
"That's going to be weird. I think I'll just keep on calling you teachers." Nan Genji commented.
"I will try to become good enough to be worthy of calling you seniors." Lan Meixiang said.
"Enough, enough." Karni raised his hands. "Save it for when we return. Impress us then. Enjoy—and suffer—through Shrek to your fullest."
"We will!" Xu An said with an excited tone.
Everyone turned to look at her.
"What? Don't pretend we didn't know Shrek would be difficult. It's Shrek! We might as well enjoy the suffering as well." Xu An shrugged.
Karni chuckled. "That mindset will definitely get you through the year. I can guarantee that."
… … …
Eleven people rode on the train on the way here. Five went back. Six stayed. It was an absolute success.
Jianyu seemed a bit dispirited. For some odd reason, he expected he would be able to watch and cheer for the students in Special Class. But in the end, he just ended up staying in a room all day.
Wang Chao was feeling the same, mostly because Jianyu convinced her about this trip. Jianyu was almost waiting for an "I told you so." But Wang Chao was a bit too mild to say that. The only time she was direct was in battle.
Around halfway back the five of them heard a beeping.
"What's that?"
"Tang Sect signal." Karni answered immediately. He looked to Teacher Ye after he saw the message. "How come yours isn't beeping?"
"I'm in the Enforcement Hall, not the Battle Hall." She said immediately. "You two go. I'll make sure Jianyu and Chao get home safely."
"Where are you going?" Jianyu asked.
Siduo smiled. "Secret. You'll find out once you enter the inner sect. You just entered the Tang Sect. One step at a time little bro."
Karni looked at her and nodded. He Shifted them out. It was a Tang Sect Emergency.
