As time swiftly passed, ten days slipped away in the bustling city of Bridgemoor.
The tension in the air continued to mount, evident in the increased presence of soldiers patrolling the streets and the heightened security measures in place.
Notably, a significant influx of powerful individuals, accompanied by thousands of soldiers kept arriving in Bridgemoor City during these ten days adding to the atmosphere of unease.
Felix also noticed that the number of Mana Cultivators within the city have increased sharply, previously it was rare to Mana Cultivators in the city except the the Adventurer District.
But now Tier 3, Tier 4, and Tier 5 Mana Cultivators now roamed the streets freely, signaling a shift in the city's dynamics.
Sensing an impending event of great magnitude, Felix remained vigilant, recognizing the need to prepare for what lay ahead.
The surge in population have also brought both benefits and challenges to Felix.
Becauae the Morningstar Restaurant have become the number one restaurant in the city,most of the Mana Cultivators who have come to Brigdemoor City decides to eat there.
Which in turn made a lot of money for Felix but it brought some troubles to him.
Since only wealthy individuals and powerful Mana Cultivators eat at the Morningsstar Restaurant naturally there are some people who tends to cause troubles which Felix have to rolled up his sleeves and take acre of it.
Luckily they were just small troubles and also of the rumours that the restaurant belongs to a Tier 9 Forbidden Realm expert, some of those who came to dine behane themselves well.
During those ten days apart from going to the restaurant to take care of things Felix locked himself up in the Mana Cultivation Room to study and learn spells and also Cultivate.
He felt a sense of crisis coming and he needs to increase his strength as soon as possible.
Brigdemoor City won't be peaceful in a few months and he doesn't want to be a cannon fodder to someone else.
He has also advised Trinity and the others to be extra cautious during this time, as many powerful people are coming to Brigdemoor.
As long as they stay under the radar and carry on with their usual routines, they won't draw too much attention to themselves.
All they need to do is maintain a low profile, quietly build up their strength, and stay out of the spotlight.

Inside the study room, Felix and the others were gathered around the table.
"So, Zephyr, what have you found out?" Felix asked, looking at Zephyr expectantly.
Zephyr glanced at everyone before speaking, "Big bro, after dedicating a significant amount of manpower and resources, I have discovered something interesting about the founding Emperor and the Dragonskull Dungeon."
Felix motioned for Zephyr to continue, intrigued by the information.
"That's really cool. I wish I was a Saint," Nixie pouted.
Zephyr looked at Nixie with a speechless face and shook his head. His expression turned solemn as he looked at Felix. "But there seems to be a shortcut to becoming a Saint."
"How?" they all said in unison.
"According to the information, if one can't form a core, one can assimilate an existing Saint Core," Zephyr explained.
"So you mean if there is a Saint Core right now, one can absorb that Saint Core and breakthrough to the Saint Realm?" Gwendolyn asked.
"Yeah," Zephyr nodded.
BANG!
Suddenly, Felix slammed the table and stood up with an excited face. "Why didn't I think of that? I knew there was something wrong somewhere."
Trinity and the others looked at Felix, who was muttering to himself with an excited face.
"Big bro, what's going on?" Zephyr asked.
Felix took a deep breath and calmed down. He looked at the others and said, "I know why all the powerful factions in the Kingdom are flocking to Brigdemoor City. I know why every ten years they all gather together to raid the Dragonskull Dungeon."
Trinity and the others were puzzled as they looked at each other in confusion.
"Big bro, what do you know?" Brixton scratched his head and asked.
Felix explained," The reason why the Royal Family, Noble Families, and powerful experts in the kingdom all decide to raid the Dragonskull Dungeon every ten years is because they are after the Saint Core ".
"What!?" Trinity and the others abruptly stood up, shocked by Felix's revelation.
"Big bro, you mean there is a Saint Core in the Dragonskull Dungeon?" Zephyr asked, his voice trembling.
Felix nodded, "Yes. The founding Emperor raided the Dragonskull Dungeon with his powerful subordinates, but most of them were wiped out. Only a few managed to come out alive. Since the founding Emperor was a Saint, if he died, his Saint Core would be in the Dragonskull Dungeon."
Zephyr and the others were stunned, their gazes vacant.
"So that's why the Royal Family and Noble Families raid the Dragonskull Dungeon together every ten years," Zephyr muttered.
"All of them are after the Saint Core of the founding Emperor," Trinity said, her eyes filled with incredulity.
They were all shocked and astonished, realizing that the powerful factions raiding the Dragonskull Dungeon were all after a Saint Core.
