Powerful Soul, Almost Dead

Leoux was quietly suspended in the space above the metal planet, while thousands of space shuttles released a large gravitational net to enclose the metal planet.

The net was impenetrable, not even by signals. Ling Jiu teleported himself into the Leoux.

"You're back, Ling Jiu," Leoux said with a sense of awe in its voice. "The pinnacle of super-clustered being—not half bad at all! It's an amazing improvement." 

"Of course. I didn't sit idly over the last one hundred years." Ling Jiu broke into a gentle smile. "When shall we do it?"

"Since you're here, let's do it now," Leoux replied without hesitation. "But before that, I have to warn you..." 

"I'm all ears."

It was Leoux's first time being so serious, and Ling Jiu could not help be serious too.
