Chapter 184: Life 69, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1
I woke up in a carriage, and my first thoughts were of being savaged by a wild dog, but I quickly squashed them. I had work to do.
My 100-year plan was basically at an end. I was using a technicality in the rules I had created for myself to allow me one last go, but once I started my final life here, that would be that. If I messed up and died, the run would be over. I would need to return to the Wastes and forget about finishing things in the sect until my other tasks were complete.
I wouldn’t let that happen. I would use the time I had to settle a few debts, use everything I had learned to achieve as much as I could, and take my friends to the Summit of Dragon Peak to see what awaited us there.
But before any of that, I had to make my final preparations. I wasn’t quite ready to begin that final life.
When the carriage arrived outside of Yellow Orchid Academy, I begged the driver to wait for my return.
I rushed inside and applied to join the Academy. When the receptionist tested me and saw that I had a peak four-star earth affinity, as well as all my other affinities, she had a shocked expression on her face, but I didn’t let that delay me.
“I want to join Instructor Sun’s Disciple cohort. He is a Martial Master under Grandmaster Ning ChenKun.”
The receptionist gave me a strange look at the direct request.
“Masters and Grandmasters are allowed to choose their own Disciples. I can put in the request, but they might not accept it.”
