Infinite Potential System

Chapter 548 My Bad

And that's good news how, exactly? William wished the System had a body so he could glare at it. How did they find out?

The System wouldn't respond without a fee of 12 Ascended Points, but William didn't need to spend Points to know that it could have been anyone. A member of his class, a teacher, or even an official from Great Rouge that had his information.

He doubted it was Professor Tenningbrew or the Vice Principal, especially considering how much resources they'd given him recently. Several other options were feasible, but he couldn't do much more than speculate without spending his Points.

Can I at least know what Cultivation level the assassins are at?

-Request requires 22 Ascended Points. Yes/No?

Of course not. Why did I even ask? William heaved an exasperated sigh.

Knowing that the Riverveil Family was paying attention to him filled William with unease. The Riverveil Family was one of the two strongest powers across the entire Slightveil Plane, and William didn't stand a chance against them in his current state.

Assuming the Riverveil Family wouldn't want to attract attention while targeting him, William didn't think they'd attack while he was in a public area. That being said, his movements would be greatly restricted outside his Vice Principal's range of influence.

While he didn't show it, William had been worried about his sister over the last few days. He'd deduced that Fria was the one that received Janus' reward, which meant she was in the same condition as the William from several hours prior.

Unless she somehow had a stronger mind than he did, Fria should still be inside the Ascension Portal that linked Efretta to the Slightveil Plane. He sensed that the portal in his World was idle, meaning it hadn't fully closed despite the fact that Fria had Ascended multiple days earlier.

To William, this was proof that she was somewhere within the Ascension Portal, but to meet up with her he'd need to not only go out, but also locate the other end of the portal that could be anywhere on the Slightveil Plane.

The possibility of assassins along the way meant William would have to be mindful of every move he made. Once he decides to leave the Quake Dungeon, no one should know his location save Professor Tenningbrew and the Vice Principal.

System, there's a fragment of you inside Fria, right? he asked.

-Yes.

Can you tell what condition she's in?

"You're going to fix those, right?" she asked.

William shook his head, "Sorry. Anything I make here will probably just destroy more of your stuff."

Tia raised an eyebrow, "You're already so strong?"

"Cultivation and Magic are easier in the Ascended Realms. You'll see when you get there." William didn't elaborate.

Tia nodded, "What brings you here? If you're looking for Charlotte or Yuming, they're both adventuring somewhere."

William didn't need Tia to tell him that the two were both gone. He could clearly sense Charlotte clearing out Magical Beasts a few dozen kilometers outside the old Providence Zone, while Yuming was conducting Alchemy in the Hillvire Empire. Both seemed to be doing well.

He got straight to the point. "Fria's in trouble and I can't reach her. I need someone to Ascend and help her out."

"Trouble? How can we help her if you can't?"

William took some time to explain the situation to Tia, who nodded at every step. When he was done, Tia pulled out a communicator and issued an order to her Faction. A few minutes later, every Cultivator near the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm including those who were in seclusion came to the main building and bowed in front of William.

"These are probably the closest ones to Ascending, but they're going to need a few more years at the very least. If she only has a month, I'm not sure they'll be of any use..."

William shook his head, "No, they're fine."

He channeled a few million units of Blessing Mana through his improved Mana Circuits, disabling the Seal Element's suppression on himself for a millionth of a second. During the short window of time, he casted a wide-range Blessing Spell across the Frostile Faction's territory, improving the Cultivation speed of anyone below the Ascension Realm by ten thousand percent.

The Magic was cast so quickly that no one in the room was able to react to the sudden burst of Mana. Tia and the other Cultivators nearest to William couldn't handle the Mana and exploded into a bloody mist, both their defensive artifacts and the Arrays guarding the headquarters regarded as mere paper before his overwhelming strength.

"Oops." William cast a Fusion Spell of the Time and Life Elements to restore Tia and the others to peak condition, then switched to the Earth Element to recreate the pile of rubble that was once a luxurious building.

William smiled apologetically, "My bad. Let's try that again."
