"So, we're a yellow team now, right?" Kyle asked. "By the way, did anybody notice what level this team was?"
"It was a yellow team," Warp Space said.
"Just as expected," Kyle said. "I told you guys that we would be fighting real soon."
Swamp Dragon nodded. "It was to be expected. Everyone wants True Battles."
Kyle snorted. "Yeah, but the way they went about it was a bit… cowardly."
Naturally, the way they had been attacked couldn't have been a coincidence.
Three people with a Fire Affinity had attacked their team right beside a Yin-Fire Law Well.
People who had comprehended Yin-Fire naturally had a much higher resistance to Yin-Fire, and they could also use the Yin-Fire Energy in the surroundings to strengthen their attacks.
Even more, two of the members had been below the team, deep inside the Yin-Fire.
When the sole frontliner had attacked them from above, Kyle had immediately anticipated that the team would be below.
Most likely, the frontliner had attacked from above to make it seem like the other team was also above.
Yet, as soon as the frontliner pushed the enemy team downward, the other two members would flank them and shoot their attacks at them.
Because of that, Kyle had immediately charged downward, into the Yin-Fire.
He wanted to stop the two ranged attackers before they could launch a proper attack.
Luckily, it had worked out just as Kyle had predicted.
"I assume the three of them were on this planet before us," Warp Space said. "Yin-Wind attracts many people since it can be used as a source for several Law Wells. The team probably wanted an easy True Battle."
Naturally, there were different levels of True Battle, and the more dangerous a True Battle was, the greater its benefits were.
A True Battle with a survival chance of 50% gave as many benefits as three battles with a survival rate of 90%. Yet, based on how chance worked, taking three 90%-battles was safer than taking one 50%-battle.
The survival rate of a 50%-battle was, expectedly, 50%, while the survival rate of three 90%-battles was about 73%.
No, it's not 70%. That's not how chance calculation works.
However, there was also a drop in efficiency the more battles one won in a given Realm.
The first battle in a new Realm had the greatest benefit. Then, it dropped at the second, and it dropped again at the third.
Kyle's first True Battle as a Transcendent had been a brutal one. Together with his powerful base Momentum, this single battle alone had boosted his Momentum to a level that outclassed most Transcendents in the Star Seeking.
Now, Kyle had undergone another difficult battle.
Most likely, there were not many people in the Star Seeking with a more powerful Momentum than Kyle.
Naturally, Warp Space and Swamp Dragon had also benefited significantly from the last two battles, and while their Momentum was not as powerful as Kyle's, their Momentum was still within the upper half of all Transcendents in the Star Seeking.
Sadly, their Momentum didn't reflect their power.
Warp Space and Swamp Dragon were still both relatively new Fulfilled Transcendents. In actual power, they still belonged to the lower half.
Luckily, since Momentum also increased one's power in battle, it pushed them to the average level of the Star Seeking.
Since they were now a yellow team, they were about average, or a bit below average, in the rankings.
The color of their team accurately represented their powers.
Meanwhile, Kyle was already well on his way to becoming a Unique Transcendent, and his Momentum was also very strong.
His actual power was on the level of a red or even black team.
"Anyway," Kyle said. "I think we can continue comprehending Laws."
Then, he looked at Warp Space. "Not sure if this planet is very useful to you. There's just a bunch of Yin-Wind down below. If you want, you can go back to your old planet. It's not too far away."
"I might do that," Warp Space said.
Kyle nodded. "Have fun!"
Yet, instead of leaving, Warp Space looked at the two of them.
It was almost like she was not sure what she should do.
Kyle wasn't sure why Warp Space was still here, but Swamp Dragon knew why.
During the battle, Warp Space had unveiled her gravity powers.
Right now, she was most likely thinking about telling them about her lie.
"Follow your heart," Swamp Dragon said.
Warp Space looked at Swamp Dragon in confusion.
"What?" she asked.
"Do what you think is right," Swamp Dragon added.
"I'm… not sure what you mean. Did I do something wrong?" Warp Space asked.
Meanwhile, Kyle had to suppress a laugh.
'He's trying to be all elderly and give some advice, but she has no idea what he's referring to.'
Swamp Dragon just looked to the side. "Just forget it."
"Wait, I want to know what this is about," Warp Space said. "That was directed at me, right? What did you mean?"
Swamp Dragon took a deep breath of Yin-Fire, doing his best not to cough as his airways froze.
"He means, relax," Kyle said from the side as he couldn't keep watching the awkward exchange. "You're overthinking things. Just relax and do whatever you feel is right."
"Oh, okay," Warp Space said. "Sure, I will keep it in mind. Thank you for the… advice."
Then, Warp Space nodded at the two of them before leaving.
Swamp Dragon took a deep breath again.
Kyle put on a serious expression and floated over.
Then, he put his hand on Swamp Dragon's shoulder.
Swamp Dragon glanced at Kyle, who looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Follow your heart," Kyle said. "Do what you think is right."
Swamp Dragon pushed Kyle's hand away and groaned.
Meanwhile, Kyle laughed loudly. "What? Don't want some sagely advice?"
At that moment, Kyle felt like he saw just a tiny smile appearing on Swamp Dragon's face.
"If you would excuse me, I have to focus on my Laws," he said, not looking in Kyle's direction.
Kyle nodded solemnly. "You have learned the valuable lesson of-"
Swamp Dragon quickly entered the Yin-Fire.
Kyle just smirked and chuckled a bit before he also returned to the stream of Yin-Wind.
