Chapter 221: Disciples From Other Sects (1/2)
After Yuan left the Exchange Hall because he learned that one cannot access the second floor unless they are Inner Court disciples, he suddenly recalled the silver medallion that Elder Xuan had given him.
'If I remember correctly, the silver medallion will allow me to obtain cultivation resources at the Treasury Hall. Maybe they'll have some Spirit Warrior monster cores there.' Yuan thought to himself.
'Where's the Treasury Hall, again?' Yuan began pondering.
A few moments later, once Yuan realized that the Treasury Hall was in the Inner Court, he sighed out loud, ”In the end, I still have to become an Inner Court disciple…”
”What should I do now?”
Yuan looked around the sect with a pondering look, wondering where he should explore now that his adventure had ended much quicker than he'd expected.
And just as he was thinking, Yuan suddenly heard the disciples around him speaking with excitement, ”Did you hear? Disciples from other sects are currently challenging the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower!”
”What? This is the first time outsiders are challenging the tower!”
”No, I think this has happened before, but that was very long ago. Why are disciples from other sects challenging the tower so suddenly? Did something happen recently?”
”You forgot already? One of our disciples had managed to clear all one hundred floors, creating a pretty big commotion not long ago!”
”Oh, right, that did happen, and we still don't know that disciple's identity. However, what does that have anything to do with what's happening now?”
”Who cares! Do you want to go watch or not?”
”Of course! Let's go!”
Many disciples from around the sect could be seen approaching the same direction at this moment— towards the Carp Leaping of Dragon's Gate Tower to witness the special event.
Yuan's interest was immediately piqued after listening to the disciples, mostly by the disciples from the other sects, and he began following the other disciples to the scene.
Sometime later, Yuan arrived at the Carp Leaping of Dragon's Gate Tower where hundreds of other disciples and even sect elders were already present.
'Wow, there's a lot of people here…' Yuan thought to himself as he stood towards the end of the crowd, so he couldn't really see the disciples from the other sects.
However, he was able to see the golden lights emitted by the tower, and whoever was challenging the tower at this moment was on the 40th floor.
”Heavens! Who's currently inside the tower?” One of the newcomers there decided to ask.
”It's Ao Zongqing that's inside right now. It took him less than an hour to reach 40 floors.” Someone there responded.
”What! The number one genius from the Iron Courage Pavilion?! Why's he challenging the tower?!”
”Nobody really knows the details, but rumors say it's because of a gamble between the Dragon Essence Temple and their sect.”
Meanwhile, standing in the front, there were seven disciples and four sect masters from their respective sects. Of course, Long Yijun and some of the high-ranking sect elders were there as well.
