Gayatri stepped forward and stood before the members of the Heavenly Troops. She looked at Grandma Silvi and offered to explain what happened when the Heart Dragon was destroyed.

"I am Gayatri from Grayle Village. I request permission to speak. I pay my respects to the advisors of the continent, and Grandma Silvi."

The advisors nodded and invited Gayatri to explain. Gayatri began by explaining how the spear, tipped with the Heart Dragon artifact, was activated. Everyone was struck by the Heart Dragon illusion. Gayatri herself entered the illusion, where she faced thousands of dark forces.

Upon seeing the energy forms of the dark forces, Gayatri realized it was an illusion and concentrated on breaking out of it. She was the only one to break out of the illusion the first time, thanks to her ability to see the color of a person's energy. Upon emerging, she tried to awaken the Heavenly Troops.

The only one who could break out, after receiving a message from Gayatri's subconscious, was Aji. Once they both regained consciousness, they had to break the seal on the Heart Dragon.

They worked together by combining their powers. Gayatri moved the artifact with her abilities, and Aji was tasked with striking the barrier surrounding the Heart Dragon. When Aji broke through the barrier, Gayatri launched her energy attack, and the explosion occurred, destroying the Heart Dragon.

That was Gayatri's story.

"Are you not lying, Gayatri?" Grandma Silvi glared at Gayatri and stood up. However, Gayatri remained calm.

"That's what happened, Advisor."

"Very well!" Grandma Silvi leaped from her feet and flew with ease, as if flying, without even expending any energy. The subtle energy in Grandma Silvi's feet was subtle, and no preparation was necessary. Silvi's power in manipulating energy had reached a high level.

It should be noted that all advisors across the continent, as most people know, are warriors who have reached a certain height in martial arts. They have reached the 9th level in rank mode. That is the peak of the martial arts rankings. However, those at the same 9th level have different abilities. The 9th level also has levels, including beginner, middle, and highest. There are also differences within each rank. For example, at level 9, beginners, it depends on the moves they have mastered. Even at level 9, beginners, some are stronger,r and some are less skilled.

"I want to prove it. Fight me! If what you say is true, I'll know if you're lying!"

All the newly inaugurated members of the Heavenly Troops were shocked. They were immediately presented with a match between a Frost Line Continent advisor and a member of the Heavenly Troops. They knew it would be an impossible fight for someone who was probably only level 8 or 7 to face a rank 9 advisor.

What was this fight about? Were the advisors trying to break the mentality of the Heavenly Troops members?

Gayatri, already in front of Grandma Silvi, cupped her hands in a sign of respect. "Please guide me, Grandma," Gayatri said firmly. She seemed to have known this would happen.

Woosssh! The energy began to feel. The two began their sparring.

***

Earlier, before the announcement that all the Sky Troop participants had passed, Gayatri passed Aji, who was standing with his arms crossed as usual.

"That old woman, Grandma Silvi. She's going to ask you to fight her."

Aji's words surprised and intrigued Gayatri. Gayatri had only met the advisor from the Frost Line continent once before. She had seen him inspecting the people there. At the time, when Gayatri was still a child, she had been taken there by her mentor along with her older brother, Lao.

Aji's confident words seemed to indicate that he knew Grandma Silvi very well.

"Why does she want to fight me?" Gayatri stared at Aji.

"All of that was just that old woman's way of gauging the abilities of the Heavenly Troops. She'll find a way to prove how you can destroy the Heart Dragon with your abilities."

Indirectly, Aji guessed what would happen when the advisors met with the Heavenly Troops. The excuse of seeing the truth about the Heart Dragon's destruction was merely a shield to assess one's abilities. Moreover, this was a special unit established to fight the Demon Lord's forces.

There was no way the old woman would let something like this slip by. And Aji was right. Even though he had explained Gayatri's version of the Heart Dragon's destruction, Grandma Silvi still wanted to challenge Gayatri to a test of strength. Her reasoning was to see if someone like Gayatri could destroy the Heart Dragon.

"Of course, I'll lose to that Frost Line advisor easily. That way, she'll have a reason to say I lied about the Heart Dragon's destruction?" Gayatri asked Aji for directions before they parted ways and entered the Prisma City square.

Aji extended his hand toward Gayatri, opening his palm, "Take this!"

Gayatri looked at Aji's palm; it was a small, clear plastic container containing a pill.

"What pill is this?" Gayatri was curious.

"Identify it. This isn't a pill that forcibly strengthens soul energy like those cowards from the dark forces."

Gayatri accepted the pill and examined it more closely. "I can't identify it; this pill seems foreign to me."

"It's a pill that allows you to gather natural energy easily and quickly. It lasts for an hour after being swallowed."

Gayatri was shocked to hear this. She had just obtained a pill that could effectively open circles and fuse with natural energy within minutes. It was a rare pill that only master alchemists could create.

Where did Aji get this Circle Seal Pill? That aside, creating a Circle Seal Pill in just a few minutes was already a miracle, and Aji had just said this pill lasted for up to 60 minutes.

The Circle Seal Pill itself was a type of pill created by alchemists with an extremely high degree of difficulty. The Circle Seal Pill is a secret pill that, if sold, would command a fortune, as its abilities are highly coveted by all martial artists.

Freely absorbing natural energy is the desire of every sorcerer or mage. When they can freely absorb natural energy, they will attain limitless levels of magic.

Although Gayatri wasn't sure about the pill Aji gave her, judging by Aji's expressionless face, it was likely the Circle Seal Pill.

Gayatri needed to try it and put it into practice. And when she faced the advisor from the Frost Line, Grandma Silvi, everything would be answered.

"Are you ready, Gayatri?" Grandma Silvi interrupted Gayatri's reverie. Grandma Silvi took a stance and flew into the air.

"I'm ready, Advisor."
