Chapter 139 - Taking Longer Than Expected (1/2)

”D-Disciple Min! Are you going to challenge the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower today?” The sect elder sitting in the small pavilion showed a surprised face and asked her in a slightly excited voice.

”Yes, I am.” Min Li nodded and handed her disciple identification token to him.

”Very well! I have recorded your name, Disciple Min! Good luck!” The sect elder said to her.

After Min Li left the pavilion, Yuan approached the place and said to the sect elder, ”I'd like to challenge the tower too.”

”Let me see your identification token,” the sect elder spoke in an uninterested tone, his attitude towards Yuan being completely different from Min Li which was expected.

”Here you go,” Yuan handed his bronze identification token to the sect elder.

”You have been a disciple at the sect for only two days? And you want to challenge the tower? You must be full of yourself…” The sect elder shook his head at Yuan.

”Eh? But Disciple Min is the same as me…” Yuan said with a dumbfounded look.

”The same as you?! Outrageous! How dare you compare yourself to a genius from one of the Seven Legacy Families?! Who do you think you are?!”

Yuan was speechless. Why is he being scolded? Did he say something wrong?

The sect elder then quickly recorded his name down before tossing the identification token back at him in a disrespectful manner.

”...”

Yuan stared at the sect elder with a frown on his face after catching the identification token.

”What are you looking at? You got something to say?” The sect elder frowned back.

”No…” Yuan decided that he didn't want to waste his energy on this sect elder and turned around and walked away, not to mention that he'd already argued with another sect elder not long ago.

A few minutes after returning to the tower, Yuan noticed a red light coming from the 52nd floor.

”Aiya! Ming Yong failed!”

”52 floors is still an incredible achievement since he'd managed to reach the top 200 in the Tower Ranking. Give him a few more years and he'll definitely reach 75 floors and become a Core disciple!”

A few more minutes later, the entrance to the tower opened, and a handsome young man walked out with a messy and bloodied appearance, looking like he'd been beaten and robbed by a group of bandits.

Seeing this, Min Li turned to look at Yuan and said to him before approaching the tower, ”I won't lose to you this time, Disciple Yuan!”

Min Li then retrieved her Heaven-grade sword and entered the tower.

”Look! Fairy Min's going to challenge the tower next!”

The disciples there watched her enter the tower with admiration in their gazes, and even Ming Yong bowed to her despite being injured himself, ”Good luck, Fairy Min.”
