Chapter 1182: Chapter 1168: Seeking Allies

Faced with this question, Harley Bain raised an eyebrow: "You don’t know what a seat in the Forgotten Association can do?"

"I don’t know, if I did, would I be asking you?"

"Then what do you want this seat for?"

"People always like to have what they don’t possess. I just want to understand it better. How would I know if it’s suitable for me without understanding it?"

Baiyu answered candidly.

For a moment, Harley Bain couldn’t find words to refute him, even thinking he made a lot of sense.

However.

She paused for a moment, then said: "Mr. Geman, this is a very dangerous matter. I know you are strong, but... this seat belongs to our Bain Clan, and I hope we can successfully present it to you."

"Alright, can you now tell me what exactly the importance of the Forgotten Association seat is?"

"A lot, generally speaking, the Forgotten Association is a support system for all its members. When a family faces difficulty, if the seven major families holding the primary seats decide to help, then the rest of the members must provide support.

The Forgotten Association is also a large marketplace.

Many things can be traded here, like my position as the president of the Adventurer Association was bought from the Forgotten Association.

Even control over some remote planets can be traded here.

Of course.

The most important thing about the Forgotten Association is the ticket to the Central Divine Continent!"

At this point.

Harley Bain’s eyes gleamed with light.

The Central Divine Continent is the capital of the Human Galactic Imperial, also known as the Imperial Center, the Imperial Hub.

It’s a vast land floating in the universe.

Yes.

Not a planet, but land.

Stars orbit around it, and the planets are its satellites. The existence of such a miraculous continent in the universe is already enough to prove its uniqueness.

Previously, when Baiyu learned about the Central Divine Continent, he found it somewhat unbelievable, after all, many people live their whole lives without ever leaving their own planet.

But.

Baiyu watched videos taken by spaceships of the Central Divine Continent on Abaida.

How do I put it?

Compared to the massive planets next to it, the main continent is like a glass ball next to a huge square.

He had never seen such a terrifying, colossal land.

It doesn’t make any scientific sense!

But.

Considering that the science of this world is also tied to mysticism, he was at peace with it.

"A ticket?"

Baiyu continued to look at Harley Bain with a puzzled expression.

The other immediately continued to explain: "Ordinary people cannot go to the main continent. If one’s identity on the main continent isn’t sorted out, the most likely outcome is being captured by the Star Realm Army.

The Forgotten Association.

Has influence on the main continent."

"I see, then the seat in the Forgotten Association is very useful indeed."

Baiyu remarked.

Harley Bain nodded: "However, you need to truly compete for and secure it; this is going to be a very challenging journey."

Baiyu chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll do my best."

...

In the evening.

The night wind was continuously blowing.

Baiyu took the opportunity to slip out of the courtyard, planning to visit some places, to see his potential competitors this time, and whether he could find some allies.

He specifically tracked down members of the Laine Clan to learn more.

A lone wolf like himself can ask for others’ help. But it’s best to ask from those teams that lack members or families that can’t gather five people.

Such families.

How should I put it, they are not many, but they exist every year.

It’s similar to the situation with the Bain Clan; they all find themselves in desperate circumstances.

Knock knock.

Baiyu knocked on his neighbor’s door.

Bang.

The door opened, and the first out were two burly men, quickly followed by a group of Martial Artists full of Blood Qi.

"This is the resting place of the Beita Clan, what do you need?"

A middle-aged man, appearing to be in his forties, spoke calmly.

Baiyu, observing their demeanor, thought they didn’t seem like people needing allies, but since he was already there, he asked: "May I ask, do you have enough people for the five required in the tournament?"

With this question.

The faces of over ten people instantly darkened.

They seemed ready to rush in and give Baiyu a good lesson.

"Sir, are you insulting us? I don’t even know which clan you’re from, but once the competition starts, we will be sure to have a proper exchange with you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The middle-aged man stated steadily.

"Uh... I’m not with any clan, I’m participating as an individual representative. You can look for me when the competition comes."

Baiyu waved a friendly goodbye and quickly retreated.

He felt that if he continued talking, they might really start fighting. Although there were rules against rash fighting outside the tournament, losing their temper could still result in a skirmish.

After that,

Baiyu continued to visit several others.

Yet, these places didn’t lack people at all, and their attitudes were extremely hostile, clearly ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Finding allies in this place is really quite difficult."

Baiyu’s plan to gather five people was slowly falling apart.

However.

Just as he was about to head back to rest, a dark figure suddenly flew out in front of him.

Bam.

The dark figure heavily collided with a large tree in front, making the trunk shake, and leaves fell rustling down.

Baiyu walked closer to look.

The person was a petite girl, with thick white training bands tied around her ankles and wrists.

"Who are you?"

The girl immediately asked when she saw Baiyu approaching.

"Uh, I’m Geman."

Baiyu chuckled, "One of the contestants this time."

"Contestant... Are you saying you’re also alone?"

The girl’s eyes lit up.

"Yes, you could say that."

Baiyu replied with a smile.

"Then are you willing to form an alliance with me? I can help you, and you can help me. We can look out for each other to secure a spot in the competition!"

The girl immediately invited Baiyu.

Only.

Seeing her enthusiasm, Baiyu didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Are you participating in a family capacity?"

"Yes, but our family... only I can participate."

The girl’s eyes showed a lonely expression.

She seemed worse off than the people of the Bain Clan.

"What’s your strength level?"

Baiyu asked.

"Meteor Tier One!"

The girl clenched her fists and pressed them together: "If needed, I can unleash power at the Eclipse Moon Realm level.

I cultivate Body Technique and excel in close combat.

I’m not very good at Spirit Technique."

So weak...

In an instant, Baiyu understood why this girl had been cast out by others. Such weak strength while trying to build alliances would surely lead to a beating if they met anyone with a temper.

But...

Right now, he had no other choice either.

After all, even a mosquito is still a piece of meat, and he had no other options.

"How about this, if you can break my defense, even slightly injure me, we’ll form an alliance."

Baiyu smiled warmly.

The girl eagerly agreed.
