Chapter 94: Not for Kids
Yu Xuan returned to his temporary home base, the familiar streets greeted him. Only one mission remained on his list now — just one last task before he could call the day a true success.
Opening up his medallion to check the mission details, he stared at the location and immediately facepalmed.
"The Thorny Goats habitat is almost an hour away from town..." he muttered, exasperated.
Still, there was no helping it.
Before setting out, he figured he might as well refuel that is fulfill the desire of his stomach.
After all, his master had given him a generous number of sect points specifically to spend on food. It would practically be disrespectful not to eat well.
And so, with full conviction and a hungry stomach, Yu Xuan made his way back to UFC — Ultra Fried Chicken. There, he casually ordered another 3-piece combo. The aroma alone made him temporarily forget about the long walk ahead.
"This sauce is really good," he mumbled between bites, dipping the crispy meat into the dark red glaze.
Once he finished his meal, he wiped his hands and stepped outside into the cooling afternoon light. His gaze lifted to the horizon. If he left now, he could finish the mission before dusk. But another thought tugged at the corner of his mind — one he’d been toying with since his return.
The Arena.
Every major town had one: a local dueling arena where sect disciples could register and battle others at their cultivation level. It wasn’t just about ego or sparring — it was a path forward.
Disciples who ranked highly in the monthly leaderboards earned not only sect recognition but also valuable rewards. And if they stayed at the top long enough, they qualified for the annual Peak Tournament — an event hosted by the major peaks of the Heaven Immortal Sect.
