253 Earth and Neptune

Solar Banquet was the gathering of the best geniuses. Even the weakest person in the crowd would reach Level 7. The strongest would reach Level 9.

Sovereign state was up in the air.

Still, just attending the banquet meant the young men and women were extremely talented.

They reached greater levels and combat power than their peers.

In the banquet, duels started to heat up.

It was a tradition of sorts with three purposes.

One, gain experience by fighting geniuses across the federation.

Two, settle any grudges. Killing is frowned upon between high awakeners. Thus, a Duel became the only way to resolve them.

Third, Establish dominance of one's native planet.

The Federation's eight planets had varying populations, resources and geographies.

But the ones that stood out the most were Earth and Neptune.

Earth, as the origin planet of humans remained the most influential planet to date.

Then came Neptune.
