Chapter 152: Life 66, Age 47, Martial King Peak
As I was reviewing what I needed to get done before the end of my life, I realized something. Tie Yang must be furious with me. I had ruined the mission he spent so much time and effort on.
When I became a Martial Lord, I had been demoted to the outer sect because my skills with formations were lacking. Tie Yang had diligently trained me so that I could rejoin the inner sect, but I got so lost in everything else that I forgot to do so.
With my ascension to not only King but Peak King, I wouldn’t be surprised if my lack of relevant skills had resulted in my demotion to servant disciple. No one had come to inform me of such a change, but they didn’t tell me about my demotion to the outer sect until I was about to enter Profound City. If such a demotion wouldn’t occur until I entered Earth City, then it was nothing I needed to worry about, but I felt sorry for ruining Tie Yang’s mission.
I might not be able to do very well in a King-level Exam, but taking it was still an opportunity to try to gain more insights into what the sect was looking for. This time, I could try to record information in my journal so that even if I didn’t remember anything, I still had a record of it.
However, as I was preparing to head to the Exam site, my plan was shattered by a harsh reality.
“System, how much to create a mental reversion point for the moment right before I enter the sect’s Exam Trial?”
Cost 10 billion credits.
I still didn’t know if such a purchase was necessary, but I didn’t want to take any chances with something that I knew affected my mind, so I had to give up on attempting the Exam again in this life.
This didn’t bother me overly much. The value of any information I could gain from the Exam was dubious at best. I already had a general idea of what the sect was looking for, and knowing exactly how they tested for it could only be marginally helpful.
