Gate Stage

"That's impossible, right?" exclaimed Meagu still questioning the truth of Renxian's sentence. "You learned it like in an instant? After we did the ritual?"

Sanxiu was silent, unable to illustrate something he didn't even know. There was no way he could declare that it was because of the system, Meagu would neither understand nor accept such strange nonsense.

"I don't know how to explain," he murmured, his voice like a breeze in the middle of the night. "It feels like I had a slight image of it. And I learn it through its remembrance."

Meagu stepped closer to Sanxiu who was still looking down, somehow feeling remorseful. "Unless of course, you're in the Tempering Stage at Gate 4," she explained further bewildered Renxian.

"What does she mean?"

[Each Gate has its stage, except Gate 1 and 5.]

"Again? Late explanation?"

[I made it simple for you to understand.]
