Chapter 1748 “The Best Way to Predict the Future Is to Create It Together”

'This guy... his aura is similar to Steve's.'

Eren thought to himself as he looked at the startled Horen Laal.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

With a simple glance, Eren quickly figured out Horen's Path. After all, Steve from Anfang was also a body cultivator. However, Steve had used Body-strengthening Art that tweaked his Path as a Ranker and fine-tuned it to focus on his body more.

Eren could inherently feel that this was not the case with Horen. The man in front of him had obviously started walking on the Body Cultivation right from the start. He practiced a Tantra instead of an Art, which allowed him to progress at a faster rate than Steve could ever possibly hope for.

Blue: [ Horen Laal holds feelings of anger towards you. You have earned 0.2 Origin Foce Points ]

Red: [ Horen Laal holds feelings of anger towards you. You have earned 1 Origin Foce Points ]

'Hm. The Origin Force Points I receive by interacting directly with people are vastly more significant than the indirect interaction,' Eren thought to himself as he looked at the newly appeared notifications in the sub-panel. 'But whatever indirect interaction lacks in quality it more than makes up for it in quantity.'

Eren was very satisfied with the harvest of the Origin Force Points he was receiving by directly and indirectly interacting with people. He had to say that his abominated divinity was working wonders for him.

He could guess that the rate of the Origin Force Points he received with his indirect reaction was a bit low because he had kept his identity hidden. He would have received a lot more of the Origin Force Points from his audience had he gone in front of them without the mask.

'Safety comes first,' Eren thought to himself. 'I am fine with a slow but steady and safe source of Origin Force Points,' he concluded as he looked at the distinct notifications he received from his direct interaction.

Vasco and Horen both looked at each other with a bit of wariness in their eyes. But then that wariness subsided before it was replaced with a bit of shame for their own jitteriness just because Eren had sneaked up behind them.

"It... it should start in a few minutes," Horen Laal said and relaxed his visibly tense muscles. "My name's Horen Laal and I practice a Body Cultivation Tantra. I take it you are one of those candidates who have been selected for the final round from the start?"

Only the candidates were allowed to be anywhere near the gate. And since Horen and Vasco hadn't seen Eren in the initial rounds, they could both guess that Eren had been pre-selected for the final round because of his connections.

"Yes," Eren nodded before turning to Vasco, waiting for him to introduce himself. The latter sighed before speaking up.

"Elementalist. Vasco Joel. Um. Nice to meet you, Eren.

Is... Is there a reason for you to strike up a conversation with us in such a weird way?"

Vasco eyed Eren from head to toe as he asked. The man clearly knew that the duo would act this way if he were to alter his Spiritual Force and sneak up behind them. And yet, he had diffused the tense situation he had caused just as effortlessly. He could tell that there was something definitely weird about Eren.

"There's indeed a reason," Eren smiled at Vasco.

"I believe there will be a test that will require the candidates to fight in groups. I didn't join the initial rounds like you guys. So I don't know anyone here. I thought I should introduce myself to a group that looks promising to me.

I don't want to sound romantic when we don't have a female company but you know what they say, right?

The best way to predict the future is to create it together."
