Not long after Elias arrived, Luan appeared. Wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans and black sneakers, Luan no longer had the same indifferent expression as ever.

As for Valter's corpse, Luan had it float to the workshop and hid it with the formation.

​​

"Elias, you are here," Luan approached and said, "Did you wait long?"

"Recently, I arrived. Anyway, finished what you had to do?" Elias said as he shook Luan's hand.

"Yeah," Luan replied without changing his expression.

"Going straight to the point: Luan, why did you call me here?" Elias followed him into the living room.

Sitting on the couch, gesturing for Elias to sit in front of him, Luan said, "I have prepared 20 different martial arts techniques for the group you are training. Of course, there is also one that is reserved for you to train with yourself."

"Like jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, karate, etc?" Elias asked.

"Not exactly, but not far from that," Luan explained, "Not to disregard these martial arts, however, they are not very versatile when using Qi. In essence, these martial arts are better than not knowing any, however, the one I'm going to teach is superior to them if one's going to use Qi. "

"Considering how fast the group is progressing compared to even the special members of the army who are using the body technique, I believe they will become even more powerful if they have a good martial arts technique," Elias reflected.

"Finished?" Luan looked questioningly.

Elias gave a dry cough, and stammered, "Y-Yes, yes!"

"Relax, you don't have to be nervous and act differently with me," Luan said with a weak smile.

"Well..." Elias smoothed his nonexistent beard and asked, "But how do you intend to teach? Will you do the same as last time, Luan?"

"Yes, this way it is faster. I don't have time to teach that many people, personally," Luan said nonchalantly.

"Considering how busy you are as CEO, I can imagine," Elias nodded.

"That's not all, I still have a girlfriend, you know. In addition, I have to train every day," Luan said, "Despite being strong enough for the time being, I cannot relax, especially with these 'mysterious cracks' that are appearing around the world."

"This is a fact. More and more people are dying because of the mysterious cracks. In an estimated survey, there are almost 1 million people dead because of them worldwide. While this number of deaths does not seem high, it is incredibly high, taking into account that only a short time has passed since the beginning of all this," Elias sighed.

"It was inevitable. I can only move things forward and do my best to get people to defend themselves or even have enough strength to flee," Luan said, "The game's tournament is close. With the availability of the second part of the technique, people will try even harder to get the second part in the next tournament."

"I agree." Catharina who just came back, caught Luan and Elias' conversation in the middle, and without caring, she got involved in the middle of the conversation. "Many people on the internet are looking forward to the tournament."

"Catharina, you look frustrated. Something happen?" Elias knew she had been in a hurry and left, but he didn't know the real reason.

"Tsk, don't even mention that." Catharina sat next to Luan and gave Elias an ugly look and sighed, "I hurried for nothing."

"I wouldn't say that." Luan gave her a rare smile. "I know that Cristina must have been very happy that you cared so much about her that you practically flew the car over to her."

"Mm... That night be true, yes." Although she wanted to pretend she didn't care, a smile curved her pink lips.

Elias couldn't help feeling his heart beat faster. Catharina's weak smile was mesmerizing, incredibly charming.

"What is it? Did I miss something here?" Catharina snorted and shot Elias a provocative look.

Embarrassed, Elias looked away and tried to change the subject. "Is that all, Luan? My mom is waiting for me at home. My dad is back and she wants me to be there since she is making a family dinner."

Luan couldn't help noticing Elias licking his lips. Elias' mother, Olivia, was a natural cook of sweet things, and Elias was a glutton when it came to sweet things, especially if they were prepared by his mother.

"Is that so? Okay, then I'm going to transfer the martial arts that I mentioned before you leave." Luan gestured for Elias to get up, and did the same.

As it would not be just a martial arts technique that he would transfer, Luan thought it best to make direct contact, placing his hand on Elias' head.

"Close your eyes and focus. Don't reject me; if you do that, it will end up becoming defragmented and it won't have a good result." The warning was clear in his voice.

"Okay." Elias nodded and closed his eyes.

Catharina lost interest in what was happening and left, leaving Elias and Luan alone in the room. She went to the balcony where the pool was and sat next to Ingrid and Amanda, who were drinking strawberry juice.

After Elias left, Luan went to the workshop. Valter's body was still partially intact. The Qi had not yet completely abandoned Valter's dead body. In Luan's hand a green diamond appeared. The flow of Qi that was in Valter's body began to flow the moment Luan pressed the green diamond on Valter's forehead. The threads of Qi were accumulating in the diamond until finally the body was losing its color, since the nutrients that made it remain hot and with a more pink color were due to the Qi in his body.

'Now, I have no use for him anymore.' Red flames came out of Luan's hand and he threw it at Valter's body. The corpse burned easily, and Luan used a spell to disguise the smell and not let the smell spread.

One minute, two minutes... After five minutes, Valter's body disappeared completely. Not even his ashes were left.
