After pondering on the matter for a short period of time, she inquired further, "Can't we just sneak in and steal it from them and then run away with the spaceship?"

"No, I don't think that's possible lil Belle, because there is only a single one of this fruit on the whole planet, and according to the place it is placed, it should be something extremely precious to them... so in conclusion, they won't leave it unprotected. On the contrary, there must be very extreme measures of security around the fruit if I'm not mistaken..." Virus explained.

"Then... can't we just attack with the spaceship and level everything to the ground?" She asked further.

Listening to this question, Virus expounded on the matter, "That's too risky, because we have no idea how strong the cultivators at this place are, and also, this spaceship is not as strong as you think, if the cultivators are higher than what the spaceship could handle... we're going to be doomed."

"Then what do we do master?" She again asked back, confused about what they could do if stealing the fruit or getting the fruit by force were both not an option.

"Hmm... let's see" Afterward, Virus began roaming around with the spaceship, listening to what the people who were commuting were talking about.

He already knew how he should at least begin his plan of earning the fruit, but he needed further information to set his plans in motion.

"I'm sure senior sister Astes would win, she's definitely the best in Alchemy among the Superior Disciples in the sect." A random person stated with his eyes shining brightly.

"Yeah! There is no way anyone would be able to defeat senior sister in the match." The other person replied to the previous person.

"So it's a sect." Virus mumbled hearing this conversation.

After that, Virus continued listening to their conversation, but it wasn't helpful at all as they mostly talked about either how beautiful their senior sister Astes was or similar matters related to that.

Changing the location, Virus started listening to other disciples' conversations too, but they were not helpful by much as no one spoke about the information Virus needed.

Changing his location, he went to the outskirts of the sect, where less important disciples seemed to live at.

Then, he began listening to different disciples' conversations when finally, he heard the conversation he wanted to hear.

Currently, two male disciples were walking toward a direction while one of the males was walking a little ahead of the other male.

"Big brother, the monthly inferior disciple recruitment is tomorrow... you previously told me to notify you one day before its date." The skinny young man who appeared to be around sixteen years of age informed the other male who was walking some steps ahead of him.

"Is that so? Then go pass the news to Alice too, she's very forgetful of such matters just like me, we're both quite bad at keeping a track of time... Go... notify her, tell her to participate at tomorrow's recruitment." In response to the notification, the other person stated.

In the meantime, inside the spaceship, Virus muttered, "So it's tomorrow huh..."

The golden beauty who clearly heard the conversation between the two males, listening to her master's muttering, got surprised, "Master... don't tell me you're gonna participate at tomorrow's recruitment thingy?"

With a grin of amusement, Virus replied, "That's exactly what I'm gonna do... I mean why not? This seems to be the easiest way to get the 'Brisk Balance Fruit', and more importantly, it sounds interesting..."

"Oh... okay... but what do we do now? Just wait until tomorrow?" After being convinced by her master's response, she inquired.

"We're going back first." Virus said.

But, hearing his answer, the golden beauty couldn't help but be surprised once again, "Eh... why are we going back? Didn't you just say you're going to participate at tomorrow's recruitment?"

"Haha, just be patient. You will understand soon enough." Virus laughed out loud as he guided the spaceship outside the atmosphere of the Cultivation Earth.

Then, When Virus felt like the spaceship was sufficiently far from the planet, he opened a rift as they disappeared into it.

________________

Coming back to Earth, Virus led the spaceship directly to his atoll and parked it in its original place.

At the main building on the atoll, when the invisibility of the spaceship was turned off, the Island ugly was instantly aware of his master's return.

So very confused, he promptly drove the SUV to the spaceship, wanting to pick them up.

Getting on the car together with Bella, Virus commanded, "Take us to the main building, we're going to the First Underground World Floor."

"Yes, master." Receiving the order, without any questioning as to why they were back or why they were going to the first floor, the Island ugly just drove the car toward the main building which had the entry to the underground world.

A while later, the trio arrived at the main building and from there, they directly went down toward the first floor.

In the meantime, the golden beauty was still unclear about the reason as to why they had come back.

But, even though she was extremely curious and wanted to know the truth, she asked nothing at all while trying her best to be patient like her master had asked.

Finally arriving on the first floor, the beauty and the ugly began following closely behind Virus who seemed to be walking in a specific direction.

And some minutes later, he eventually stopped in front of an enormous black piece of technology which had momentarily drawn his attention the previous time he was here.

Seeing her master cease to move in front of the Shape-Shifter technology, the golden beauty finally had a hunch about what her master wanted to do so filled with doubt, she asked, "master... don't tell me you want to shapeshift your body?"

"That's right." Virus replied without any hesitation together with a small on his face.

"But why?... " The golden beauty was honestly even more confused now after hearing her master's reply.

"Well, it's something that has to do with the recruitment. Think, right now, My body's age is around twenty-seven years old, and I haven't even begun cultivating, so... if I participate at the recruitment with this age of mine, they would all look at me with filled with disdain before throwing me out." After clarifying his reasons a little bit, Virus said no more as he walked toward the Shape-Shifter technology. Then, opening its entry, he went inside.

The space inside the Shape-Shifter technology was very narrow with almost no space to walk around. So after entering, Virus just lay down on its floor and began giving different commands to the 3D screen which appeared in his line of sight.

ONE HOUR LATER

It was at this moment that the golden beauty and the Island ugly finally witnessed the door of the Shape-Shifter technology open.

But what they saw next made them experience something almost indescribable which made them both dumbfounded and stupefied!

Because right at this moment, a male who looked around seventeen years of age with a height of almost 175 cm exited the Shape-Shifter technology, to which their master had entered previously.

Walking with a smile plastered on his face, the teenager voiced, "How do I look, lil Belle?"
