1248 The Secret to Player Yuan's Progression

After logging off the game, Xiong Lu shouted in anger as he tossed the console at the wall, shattering the headpiece, "Damn it! Who the fuck was that little girl?! How did she manage to butcher Zhaohui, who claimed to be an Immortal, as though he was a mere baby?! And why is someone like that with Yuan?!"

Xiong Lu couldn't believe what he'd just witnessed. However, once he thought about it, it finally made sense why Yuan was progressing so fast when compared to other players, not to mention his tremendous prowess.

"It must be due to that little girl! She must be the source of his strength! She must be a true Immortal while Zhaohui was a fake! Fuck! Why is he so fucking lucky?!"

Upon hearing the commotion inside Xiong Lu's room, the servant waiting outside knocked on the door and inquired with a concerned voice, "Is everything all right, Young Master Xiong?"

After a moment of silence, Xiong Lu responded in a commanding voice, "Summon everyone to the Round Table immediately! Tell them that I have some new information on Player Yuan!"

"R-Right away!" The servant scurried to call the Ten Great Families.

Several hours later, ten individuals sat around a round table made of white marble. However, nine of these individuals did not have a physical body and appeared to be projections.

The round table consisted of the top player from each of the top ten Legacy Families, so prominent individuals such as Fiery Queen and White Lotus were present.

"Hey, Xiong Lu, you'd better not be bluffing about having information on Player Yuan! I was in the middle of heading to a dungeon!" one of them declared in a discontented tone.

"I'm more intrigued by your sudden willingness to share information about Player Yuan," Fiery Queen remarked.

"I doubt he'll share it with us for free." Another sneered.

"Enough of the pointless chattering and let's get to the topic. I want to return to my cultivation as soon as possible," said a bulky man.

Xiong Lu then spoke, "I won't charge anyone for this information since I believe we should work together to catch up to Player Yuan."

"Catch up to Player Yuan? Are you out of your mind, Xiong Lu?" retorted another member. "I may not know his exact cultivation level, but I'm well aware that he possesses treasures beyond our reach for years to come."

"It might sound preposterous at the moment, but what if I were to tell you that I've uncovered the secret to Player Yuan's inexplicable growth and formidable strength?" Xiong Lu spoke with a solemn expression.

"You what?!" The revelation left everyone at the round table utterly stunned.

"Are you for real, Xiong Lu?! You better not be pulling my fucking legs!" Fiery Queen stood up and slammed the desk. The sound of her smacking her own table would resound through her speaker, but the actual table remained unmoving.

"The secret to Yuan's strength…?" Bai Lihua muttered with a slight frown on her face as she continued, "How can we even trust this information?"

Xiong Lu glanced at her and said, "Because I witnessed it with my own eyes."

"You met with Yuan?"

"Yes, in the Third Heaven."

"..."

"If you're serious, then don't keep us in suspense, Xiong Lu!" The others, understandably impatient, were eager to hear the details of this potentially monumental discovery.

Xiong Lu nodded and proceeded to ask them, "Before I tell you his secret, I have a question for all of you. Do you know what an 'Exile' is?"

"Are you asking us for the definition? Be more clear!"

Xiong Lu shook his head and said, "No, I am talking in the context of Cultivation Online. There are certain individuals in that world that are known as 'Exiles'. Do you know about them?"

"..."

A few individuals there had subtle movements on their faces after Xiong Lu's clarification, yet none of them responded to his question.

Xiong Lu noticed this and sneered, "So a few of you in here are already aware of their existence. Don't worry, I'm not going to blame you for wanting to keep their existence to yourself, as they are the key to progressing fast in Cultivation Online. And there's no point to keep it to yourself any longer since I will be exposing them to everyone today."

"What?! What on earth are you talking about?! What are these 'Exiles'?" Fiery Queen demanded, her curiosity piqued.

Someone who wasn't Xiong Lu suddenly responded, "There are powerful NPCs within Cultivation Online that carry a legacy known as the Supreme Heaven's Legacy. These individuals are essentially criminals that had been banished to the Primordial Realm, hence why they are called Exiles."

"In exchange for helping them complete their legacy, which grants them freedom, they will assist you in many ways, such as granting you knowledge and techniques that aren't accessible elsewhere, and protecting you from harm— like a guardian angel."

"These Exiles are very powerful and are usually Immortal Cultivators, so they have many priceless knowledge and techniques that will greatly assist your progression in Cultivation Online."

"If you have an Exile by your side, you will, without a doubt, progress countless times faster than those without one. The only downside is that you'll be hunted by other NPCs if they find out you are working with an Exile. And since they are criminals, they have questionable morals and will do nasty things that you need to turn a blind eye to if you want their help."

The room fell dead silent afterward. Those who did not know about the existence of Exiles until today tried their best to digest the information while those who are already aware of their existence pondered about their own Exiles.

Eventually, someone there broke the silence, "Xiong Lu, are you trying to tell us that Player Yuan's secret is that he has an Exile by his side? If so, I'd already come to that conclusion when I met mine."

"Me too. However, that still doesn't make any sense. I also have an Exile by my side, but I still can't seem to catch up to him. Though, I only met my Exile about a month ago, so that might be the real reason why I am still behind."

"Chen Huacheng, you sly bastard. How could you keep this information to yourself?! Aren't we in the same Alliance?!" Fiery Queen gritted her teeth in frustration, feeling left out.

"Hmph. Don't give me that crap. If you were in my shoes, you would've done the same thing." Chen Huacheng sneered.
