The Human Giant

Chapter 280 280: Mission Collection Room

?

After the tournament, the score between the two sects was 40 wins for the Immortal Palace Sect and 45 wins for the Immortal Shadow Sect. Compared to when Yoze had first arrived, the Immortal Palace Sect had been able to catch up somewhat.

But they still couldn't close the massive gap that had already formed, so they lost, with the only casualties of the tournament being the two brothers. With the tournament complete, Immortal Patty flew his sword back to the sect headquarters half because he wanted to claim his Sect Points as soon as possible and the other half to drop off the group of new immortal cultivators.

"We are finally going to be able to see the inside and focus on becoming immortals ourselves. We might be behind the others in immortal cultivators, but that doesn't mean we can't become immortals too." 

Excited by the prospect that she would soon enter the Immortal Palace Sect headquarters, Alosa pumped her fists in the air with excitement. She even gave a small speech to the others to cheer them up because she could sense that behind their calm expressions was a deep depression.

It didn't take a genius to determine the reason for their sadness. One of them was because of Yoze himself, so even though he could see that they were depressed, he didn't try to cheer them up.

As rogue immortal cultivators, they had always assumed they were as strong as their immortal cultivator counterparts. If anything, they were only slightly weaker and were held back because they lacked a method to the Crystal Brain realm.

But today, they had witnessed numerous immortal cultivators battle one another and realized the massive gulf between them. After today's tournament, they realized they could only beat immortal cultivators that were a realm weaker than them.

As for challenging other Crystal Skull immortal cultivators, they didn't stand a chance. They would lose in a matter of minutes if not seconds.

Even though they were sad to find out that they were not that powerful in the Immortal Palace Sect, they still felt they had a chance to catch up. Unfortunately, right next to them was a young giant who was much stronger than any of them and more talented.

The only thing they had above him was their immortal cultivation rank which would allow them to become immortal before him. But before they became immortals, they still needed to enter the Crystal Brain realm and form their Crystal Brains, which was a process that couldn't be rushed.

"We are back from the tournament. Let us in."

Just like how they first acted, Immortal Patty waited for a tunnel to form the thick rainbow mist surrounding the Crystal Fortress. As soon as the passage had grown large enough to fit the Giant's Last Sword, Immortal Patty swiftly flew inside.

"The Sect's arrangement has been completed, so you are allowed back in. As with your previous missions, you can collect your rewards in the Mission Collection room on the fourth floor." I think you should take a look at

Unlike their previous time of waiting over a minute to receive a rejection, the voice controlling the massive gate quickly responded. After briefly reminding Immortal Patty, Immortal Scotty, and Immortal Miessy about where they needed to go after completing their mission, the two massive thick gates blocking the entrance faded away.

"Yoze, since you have gotten some Sect Points as well, follow us to the Mission Collection room. Alosa, you may follow along if you like." Immortal Patty paused before waving his hand to cast a heavy gust of wind that pushed Leo, Yamgo, and the two wise men off his sword leaving only Yoze and Alosa remaining.

"Thank you, Immortal Patty! I'll love to follow along to see more of the Sect." Recognizing that all her hard work to schmooze the immortals was paying off, Alosa smiled as she excitedly thanked Immortal Patty for the opportunity.

"Having a connection to someone strong can be quite nice sometimes. If I plan to stay here for a long time, I need to form my own network of contacts so I can deal with problems more easily and get more resources."

"And who is a better start than Alosa, who already has a good relationship with two immortals? The best time to gain her trust should be coming soon." Yoze glanced at Leo, Yamgo, and the two wise men to see that their faces had become grim as they noticed they were already beginning to fall behind.

With Yoze's strength, he never needed to form a particularly strong friendship with anyone to progress rapidly, nor did he need to try hard to make a good impression on any of the immortals. The strength he had displayed in his fight against Geo was already more than enough to make Immortal Patty have some thoughts about forming a good relationship with him.

So he naturally was given this opportunity to visit the Mission Collection room early. As for Alosa, she had already placed her full effort into gaining the trust and friendship of Immortal Patty and Immortal Miessy.

With how much progress she has made in such a short amount of time, she was also given this opportunity even though she lacked Sect Points. The only people in their group that haven't made progress were the four of them.

With how things were going, Yoze knew that they only had three choices if they didn't want to find themselves struggling. The first was that they tried their best to form a connection with him or Alosa.

It was their only choice where they had an opportunity to get a deeper connection with the immortals without risking their lives. The second was to start from scratch and form their own group of connections that would help them get resources and solve their problems.

But this choice had a lot of issues and wasn't guaranteed to work. It was highly possible that they wouldn't be able to make a strong impression on anyone and end up getting themselves killed.

Their last choice was to rush to become immortal as quickly as possible. Not only would it solve their issue of lacking a connection since immortal cultivators would be jumping at the opportunity to impress them, but it would also reduce the chances of them being killed.
