Chapter 42: Supervise a Competition?, Plans of Reading Grandeur!
"Zar, what are you doing here?" Valley Master Yu shone with a lot less luster than a dozen years ago. "I see that you’re about to break through to the Core Formation Realm. That Yellow Ascendance Core Formation Pill I gave you should allow you to succeed..."
Zar bowed in thanks. "I appreciate what you’ve done for me, Master, but I feel as if I haven’t done enough for you in return."
"You could participate in the Medicine Valley Ten-Year Tournament," said Valley Master Yu. "But I know you won’t... and even with your talent in the Dao of the Sword being exceptional..."
"Haha..." Zar could only helplessly laugh. "Anything else, dear Master?"
Valley Master Yu stared deeply at him before ultimately saying, "There is one other thing. And you don’t need to worry, for you won’t acquire any meaningful fame from the task."
"What about—"
"There’s no danger either," Valley Master Yu answered before he had the chance to ask. "All you have to do is head over to Trial Sect Branch #780 — which is one of the five Trial Sect Branches subordinate to our Outer Sect. Then you just need to supervise an Outer Sect Advancement Competition that’s coming up in a few days."
"Supervise a competition?"
"Yes," replied Valley Master Yu. "It should be quick and simple, but because the other Disciples of my Medicine Valley are preoccupied with other tasks, that leaves only you. I’d appreciate it if you could do this for me."
