Chapter 1266 - Lineup
Liu Wuxie drew a long, steady breath, calmed the tremor in his chest, and said, "I'm fine."
He had no intention of discussing what happened in Mount Dragon City. The fewer who knew, the better. Instead, his mind raced. Hua Feiyu, the sect master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, had clearly taken notice of him, and that alone was good news.
For months, he had deliberately showcased his talent to catch the eyes of the sect's upper echelons. Why Hua Feiyu had intervened, striking at the mysterious black figure to save him, remained unclear.
Perhaps the sect master saw his potential; perhaps there were other reasons.
Either way, the outcome favored him. If he could prove his value, he believed the Heavenly Dragon Sect would support establishing an interstellar teleportation array.
"Elder Long, help me register for every other event in the Myriad Race Ceremony," he said after another measured breath.
He had been hesitating before, but Hua Feiyu's appearance changed everything. This was a golden opportunity.
The Myriad Race Ceremony carried the sect's reputation on its shoulders. If he achieved a strong result, he could win resources for the Heavenly Dragon Sect. With enough resources, he would have leverage in negotiations.
"No. The other events are too dangerous," Elder Long refused without a heartbeat's pause. Blacksmithing and alchemy were one thing, but the Divine Sun-Shooting Tower claimed lives, and even Primal Origin Realm cultivators died there.
Elder Long already regarded Liu Wuxie as a successor of the dragon clan; he would not let him gamble his life.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. This is my chance to showcase my talent," Liu Wuxie replied with an easy smile. He had reasons for his decision and ways to survive even against Primal Origin Realm experts.
"I know you want to prove yourself," Elder Long said, voice softening, "but there's no need to rush."
