Chapter 120: Stage seven of Qi Gathering realm
Eryndor was about to send a message on the groupchat to his teammates about the new announcement from the Academy when he suddenly saw lightning in the sky.
Well, some normal one would’ve of course not grabbed his attention, but the thundering was pretty loud, followed by a lightning with a brightness enough to grab his attention from the window.
Eryndor furrowed his brows, and approached the opened window, looking up at the sky which was darkening at a rapid pace.
Within a few seconds, a heavy downpour began with the abnormally loud thundering and bright lightning still continuing.
Eryndor glanced at his phone as a variety of news notifications began popping up.
He clicked on one of them.

[Breaking news! Natural disasters are happening all over the world!]
Eryndor read through the news, and came across an important point.
The disasters occuring are either not taking place in the human territory at all, or aren’t as intense to the point of being fatal.
I feel like I’ve seen this kind of phenomenon somewhere.
His brows furrowed for a moment, before he remembered.
It happened when the Earth was expanding. It didn’t target the human populated areas.
But, wasn’t that when the Cosmic Limit increased?
As if to solve his doubt, one more news notification appeared.
[A powerhouse has declared that the Cosmic Limit has increased yet again! Is this a good thing for us? Or will it be a disaster?]
No wonder.
He abruptly thought of the Outer Domains, and couldn’t resist smirking at the thought that their base of operation might get demolished once again.
Shaking his head, Eryndor went back to his bed and resumed what he was about to do.
He sent a message on the group chat.
"They’ve already announced who’ll preside over the tournament, which begins tomorrow. Shouldn’t we start trying to recruit the seniors we shortlisted?"
Drakarion sent a message shortly after.
"Don’t worry, I already contacted Edward yesterday.
"I guess the fact that Paulina and Eryndor went to spectate his first ranked match, and how Eryndor was also invited by his father to witness his project somewhat formed a faint connection between us.
A majority of them were selling all kinds of resources, with some even selling self cleaning and self drying pillows and bedsheets.
Eryndor, who considered himself a gentleman naturally didn’t harbor any impure thoughts when he looked at those items.
Some of the stalls were also set up by teams who were lacking members.
Obviously, Eryndor and his roommates had asked around before waiting so long to start inviting a second year student. It was because most of the other teams were naturally in the same situation, so there was no need to hurry.
Eryndor had guessed at that time something like the current situation would take place, with teams placing invites to others at the last moment.
The four of them eventually met up with Syndra, then with Edward a few minutes later before standing at a spot.
All of them had already packed what they wanted, there was no need to buy anything else.
Suddenly, everyone had goosebumps as a massive and dangerous aura appeared in the distance.
Eryndor couldn’t help but be startled when he realized who caused it when he looked through his extended vision.
Red hair....could it be him?
He still remembered the call operator who called Professor Melissa his sister. Professor Melissa also happened to have red hair.
The man walked extremely slowly, with two more people behind him.
Gradually, everyone realized that he was the source of the dangerous aura, which had still not faded a bit.
Eventually, all the students got a good look at him after he ascended the platform.
The man had enough blood all over him such that his red hair wasn’t even standing out anymore.
He had numerous heads bound to his torso, with the majority hanging from a string around his waist.
Everyone’s eyes went wide when discussions slowly spread around about the heads belonging to members of the Human Federation, with some of them even belonging to high-ranking members.
Some students broke out crying. Eryndor reckoned they might have seen their relative’s head amongst the ones on the man’s body.
Sander raised his crimson red blade high and laughed.
"I, Sander, the first level three among humans, have purged the entire Human Federation of all the disgusting dogs.
"My geniuses, you no longer need to fear anyone. I’ll hold the sky for you, grow with all your might."
Sander panted heavily immediately after the short speech, apparently still fatigued after the continuous fighting for over twelve hours. His injuries weren’t light either.
Before they could process what was happening, Sander stabbed the bloodied blade on the platform and announced with an almost crazed laughter.
"Let the Bi-annual tournament begin!"
