Luo Nan wasn't doing very well mentally the next day. He sat in the classroom, dispirited. It was as if his brain had dozed off during class. Half of whatever the teacher said didn't even enter his ears.

Xue Lei was only able to meet up with Luo Nan before the third class that day. He was very surprised by Luo Nan's state. "You broke your routine?"

"I was up all night," Luo Nan answered flatly.

He practiced the Dripping Sword all the way until midnight. Then, after his night session, he couldn't control himself and re-entered the out-of-body state. He walked through half the district, entered the cloud world from Gear, and continued the search for Snake Tongue. He was becoming more and more familiar with the environment there.

Luo Nan didn't obtain anything useful from his search. He didn't sleep the whole night. Instead, he tormented himself going back and forth. He could have became a lot more than just dispirited.

Xue Lei was a clever person. His first response was, "Did you push back your morning and night sessions?"

"I didn't," Luo Nan rolled his eyes and yawned.

Xue Lei spoke very seriously, "It doesn't matter that you did your sessions on time. Energy, blood, temperature, and consumption are very complex in their circulation. It's very demanding on your body for you to be playing around like this. At least half the efficiency is lost."

"Then what should I do? Maybe I should just sleep during class. Can you keep a look out for me?"

"...All right."

Luo Nan tapped him, "You're a bad friend!"

Luo Nan's head was already buried into his arms before Xue Lei could retort. A few breaths passed, and Luo Nan was asleep.

Honestly, Luo Nan had experienced far too many unexpected changes even though he never stepped a foot out of his home the last two days. He had taken in far too much information and learned far too many things. His brain was already at its limits. He really couldn't take much more. In any case, this was a general class - such a huge auditorium gave him the best cover.

Before falling asleep, possibilities of being awakened during his sleep flashed within his mind. For instance, Xue Lei calling him, Peony calling out to begin a search mission, a call from the Society, and so on...

But it was hard to predict the future in this world. What woke him from his sleep wasn't any of the above elements, but rather a stimulation coming from the mental plane. It came from a place that was seemingly close, yet ungraspable.

"The Wraith Sign?" Luo Nan's mind grasped the most crucial element, but before he could really understand this thread, a searing sensation suddenly exploded. The sensation followed the invisible connection on the mental plane, rumbling as it struck the God Gear.
