Master Ximenes was stunned at Fane's theory, but as he pondered over it, his expression slowly grew into one of surprise.
Fane nodded. "The stone ball isn't some spirited grass or some spirited fruits, and everyone has seen that it’s not some martial art technique, either. It's because of this that I'm sure nothing will come out of studying a singular stone ball, no matter who it goes to or how many years you'll study it. It's even possible that without gathering all seven stone balls, nobody will learn anything from it!"
"Your words seem to make sense. It's best if we try to reduce the number of people sacrificed. After all, nobody wants too many people from their family to die in
that area, right? This time, some forces might suffer huge losses if they don't plan ahead. Look at the Pavilion of Gods and Kings-they’ve lost so many masters!" concurred Shirley with a nod. "Why don't we do this instead: If we come across any spirited grass or fruits, we'll gather them in a martial ring and give it to one of us for safekeeping. We’ll separate them accordingly after we leave the place. Of course, the families who do more will get more, and others will get less. Everybody will need to be ready to encounter monster beasts. How about that?”
"Good, good, that's doable!" The members of the second-class and third-class aristocratic families were elated to hear the suggestion. They initially fretted that too many people would die and, more so, afraid that the first-class aristocratic families would take the stone ball or kill their disciples upon entering the dangerous area. The suggestion Shirley spoke out, however, benefitted them well as it would ensure the safety of their people all while they had a share of items from the dangerous area.
"Haha... It looks like we made a wise choice to follow Master Woods and the others!" one of the family masters chuckled and spoke heartily, and many resonated with his sentiment.
“Later on, no matter who obtained the stone ball first, nobody is allowed to take it once it’s stored in the martial ring.
need to make several copies to distribute them to each family. It'll depend on individual talents to see who manages to break through into the ultimate god-level!"
"Amazing! Your suggestion carefully took everyone into consideration, Young Master Fane. Splendid!"
"Yes, Young Master Fane! We, the third-class aristocratic families, will have such a chance with this suggestion!" Many members of the third-class aristocratic families gazed at Fane in a different light. He and his Woods family were powerful people, yet he still considered their circumstances. Such a young man, yet he carried the entire world in his heart.
