Sacred Flame 2
It had almost been a week since Layton and Shi Chen met in the ecstasy tower after Shi Chen had understood the subtleties behind the sacred flame he had invited Layton to join the research team focused on the creation and adaption of the flame to propel him towards the next stage of cultivation.
A research team was something mostly available to 3rd stage practitioners, every deity stage practitioner in school city was given their research team, the existence of clubs were basically research teams that had grown to a considerable size, research teams meant resources, wealth access to some hidden technologies and knowledge and most importantly the ability to use part of the school city computing resources to deduct, analyze and imitate various laws.
