Chapter 23: Visualization (Request for Monthly Tickets)

"This is the legendary..."

"An S-Level?"

Outside the Fourth Judge Daoist School in Snow Forbidden City.

Across a street block, on the rooftop of some building, stood two young men, one fat and one thin, one seated and the other standing.

They did not join the crowd outside the dojo to "spectate."

The fat one's forehead was strapped with a pair of goggles, which he did not lower. His body was round like a meat mountain, and his eyes narrowed into slits. He sat obediently with his hands on his knees, perched on the edge of the rooftop. The biting wind was brisk, carrying with it the occasional flurry of fine snow that fluttered his red plaid scarf like a red tassel.

He sat there smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, still and silent.

In front of him, the drifting snowflakes seemed to be manipulated by some invisible spiritual power, gradually diffusing into a hazy scene.

A square fighting platform.

A youth in seated meditation.

An ancient sheepskin scroll.
