Roan arrived in the room where Frandin was waiting with Calina. As for Frandin, he couldn't even bother to ask how their group appeared and disappeared every time.
"Alright, we're going to head out and gather some information about the Rank Four Bloodline Trial. You lead the way as before."
Frandin was taken aback for a moment as he looked at Calina.
"Are you sure you want to bring her together with us?"
Roan nodded as he said.
"Don't worry, I can deal with this."
Frandin insisted.
"But it's too dangerous."
Roan narrowed his eyes as he repeated himself with a hint of annoyance.
"I said it's fine. Stop wasting time, and let's head out already."
Roan was confident that he could hide Calina's cultivation together with his own even though it wouldn't be as good as Rean. However, Frandin didn't ask that because of Roan and Calina's cultivation.
'Is he trying to find problems on purpose in the city?'
However, since Roan and Calina seemed to be pretty confident, Frandin didn't say anything. Little did Roan know that hiding Calina's cultivation was the least of his problems.
Calina and Roan then put on the fake binding collars and went out with Frandin.
"So, what do you want to do first?"
Roan pondered for a bit.
"You said that a Rank Four Bloodline Trial would be enough to bring my Soul Power above 20 points. Since that's the case, it means each Bloodline Mark Rank increases the Soul Power more than 10% each level, right?"
Frandin nodded as he explained.
"Rank One gives a 10% boost, Rank Two gives a 20% boost, Rank Three gives 40%, Rank Four gives 70%..."
Calina couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that a little too random?"
Frandin agreed with her as he said.
"It is. However, it's not like I can do anything about it."
Roan didn't mind as he said.
"It's fine. 70% is more than enough. Now then. You've spent most of your time in Danve City before, so I guess you don't know much about the defenses of the Bloodline Trials, right?"
Frandin nodded, responding.
"Exactly."
Roan continued.
"In that case, let's go find a place where we can obtain this information. Do you have any place in mind?"
"Of course. Bloodline Marks are a vital part of the Zasfin Race. As long as one shows he's worth it, one will get a chance to participate. That said, most average and or bigger cities have offices that deal with it. You can receive a test there to see if you have what it takes. Of course, those who can pass those tests are extremely rare. For example, in my Danve City, only one person other than my father gained the right to participate in the trial, which was a woman named Sia. Well, she moved away a few years ago, though."
Roan and Calina nodded in response, with Roan saying.
"Alright. We can go there to ask more about the place."
Frandin glanced at Calina for a moment but nodded his head in the end.
"The office is always located in the city center, so we should be able to find it there."
Just like that, they made their way to the city center. However, Roan and Calina soon noticed something weird. Every now and then, the Zasfins would look in their direction.
Seeing that, Calina asked Roan through a Spiritual Sense message.
'Could it be that they can see my cultivation?'
Roan immediately shook his head.
'If someone with a Spiritual Sense strong enough appeared, I would have felt it with Rean's skill. All these Zasfin are far from being strong enough to pass through the Spiritual Sense bending, though.'
Calina found it even weirder after hearing that.
'Then, why are they all looking at us?'
Roan nodded with his eyes. Sure enough, the number of Zasfins looking at them increased the closer they got to the city center. Eventually, Roan raised his hand and stopped Calina and Frandin.
'We're surrounded.'
Frandin didn't seem surprised, though.
'Obviously.'
Calina was taken aback as her expression turned dark.
'Did you expose our secrets?'
Frandin wasn't surprised when they got surrounded by the Zasfins. However, Calina's words did shake him.
'Wait, what?! I didn't say anything to anyone. What are you talking about?'
Roan narrowed his eyes.
