Three days later
Central Capital City
Having just arrived at the capital city Jenna was a bit tired and needed rest, signaling the driver who quickly started making reservations for her stay.
Jenna lazily took out her Zs-20 in the car and started look at recent news checking for anything good.
Not finding anything worth mentioning she turned it off and slowly pressed back against the plush seats with a hand over her eyes yawning a bit before closing them only to be interrupted by the driver who was already done with the reservations.
Giving him a greatful smile as she stepped out taking the room key which he presented.The key was like a USB though slightly bigger and flat like a card,it recorded her finger print immediately before glowing a pale blue.
Jenna walked passed the reception and headed towards the elevator doors which turned transparent for her to pass through and then solidified,after confirming her destination it made a slightly noticible humming sound before making a soft ding and turning transparent to reveal a well designed hallway with gold coloured doors by the side and red gold coloured walls which had a few paintings on them.
She tiredly made her way pass the other doors and some paintings to a door which had the same 201 engraving as that on the key card.She swiped the card over the pale blue light on what seemed to be the door nob before it turned green and opened by itself with a soft hum.
Behind the door was a well furnished living room with two doors at the left,quickly stepping inside with one mission in mind 'a bath and some good sleep'and with that the door closed behind her.

Deep within City Base C a figure covered in black recieved a call as he sat in a well light and furnished office, seeing the contact info he chuckled a bit before clicking answer.
"Sorry for calling this late.i would have done so earlier if not for my busy schedule"a slightly plum looking man quickly said as he appeared on a projected screen.
"Nice to see you too Garfield"said Mr J with a slight smile.
"So,did he agree?"Garfield asked looking nervous.
"Yes.But know that you owe me one"Mr J said lightly tapping his fingers on the table.
"Phew,but how in heaven's name did you win master in that game?"Garfield asked with a voice laced with deep curiosity.
"I didn't "Mr J replied.
"Huh?"
"Master purposely lost against me "
"Really?"
"It seems like he knew your problem but wanted to help in an indirect way"Mr J said smiling lightly.
"Guess I'll go prepare him some very nice wine"Garfield said smiling widely.
"And also..."Mr J said changing to a serious tone and seeing this Garfield also changed as well.
"...Send someone with high authority to watch him to prevent any fool who thinks he is an easy preyfrom dieing early,you know how talents of this generation tend to behave."Said Mr J while looking at Garfield who nodded in agreement.
According to the structure of the world after the apocalypse it was divided into five zones namely;the Northern,Eastern, Western,Southern and Beast zone with each zone (except the beast zone) hosting four base cities A,B,C,D and governed under separate empires with a total of four ancient families in each empire.The zone holding the banquet was the Southern zone,Sunset empire which was run by the Blaze family and the imperial Central City was also known as City Base A.

Jenna woke up to the slight hint of sunlight on her face and the outside bustle of the people.Slighly stretching her body in a way that would make most men drool stupidly after getting out of bed,she then walked into the bathroom to freshing up.
Some minutes later she came out of the bathroom in a white baggie top and slightly baggie black pants with a purple towel round her neck,the clothes could only do little to hide her curves.
After a few minutes gone,she walked out the elevator with a black duffle bag towards the reception which welcomed her with a polite smile and later on directed her to a training room which she saw some minutes later after a few turns.
Upon reaching her destination she saw that some people where already there stretching or entering a room which later shone with a red light.Her presence seemed to command attention as her beauty shone brightly with a cold aura to match.
"Damn, she's beautiful..."
"Careful man,ladies this beautiful are usually dangerous..."
"She's not that beautiful..."a girls said pouting lightly
"Jealous much?"another replied her.
Not minding the stares and whispers around her,she confidently made her way further down the hall to a place written VIP in bold letters.
"Phew,thank goodness I stayed in place"a guy said wiping imaginary sweat.
"See what I told you, dangerous"another said elbowing him playfully.
Inside the room the space seemed to increase to the size of a football field and was empty.
Jenna placed her bag against the wall by the side of the door before removing the baggie top to reveal a snugely fitting sports wear top and pressing the side of her pants making the once slightly baggie pants to retract on her legs revealing toned but shapely legs.
[Please place your rank and pick your difficulty]
A system notification immediately popped up as she did a few streches.
After some minutes
[ Jenna Qin, late stage mortal lord.Difficulty:hell]
[Please stand by for further processing]
[Waiting...]
[10 minutes battle against three seasoned late mortal lord staged combatants]
[Begins in 5]

Jenna took a deep breath in preparation and released.

[1]
[Start!]
From the ground rose four black figures each with similar size and features as they looked at Jenna before their eyes turned red and they pounced,but Jenna wasn't going to just stand there she quickly took out a spear seemingly from thin air and moved forward, seeing her actions the figures immediately formed different weapons which seemed to extend from their hands before separating and retaining shape.And so it began.
After some hours Jenna sat on the ground panting loudly her entire body covered in brusies some light some heavy and her sportswear had a few tears here and there but that didn't seem to deter her.
The entire training room carried signs of burn marks and a few dented areas with all three combatants in pieces on the floor.All of a sudden like magic the entire training room seemed to repair itself with the broken combatants sinking in the ground and the dents and burn marks being cleared, very soon it seemed like she hadn't even started to train yet.
Jenna wasn't surprised one bit but instead compared it with the one she normally uses in the main family branch.
'it seems to be a lesser grade'She thought as her eyes roamed the newly reconstructed training room.
'i wonder what time it is now'She thought as she checked the training room system.
'three hours'
'i need to get stronger'Jenna thought as she seemed to remember something while clenching her fist and starting the training once again.
'A lot stronger than this'.
