Chapter 498: Town of Strongone (1/2)

”I'm going first. I have something to deal with.” Asner told Jin Rou, ”So you rest well here and wait for me to come back.”

”Where are you going?” Jin Rou asked.

”Hmm, I'm going to test my physical power. There is an ongoing event in the town where you can measure your physical strength. Though to us elves, dao is more important, the physical strength shouldn't be left out.” Asner smiled, ”I want to see how much I improved, or did I really improve.”

”I see.” Jin Rou nodded and said, ”I'm going with you. I will be bored here so let me tag along.”

Jin Rou didn't want to spend his time looking at the ceiling or the lush and trees. He wanted to explore the surroundings to familiarize himself. Furthermore, he needed a full map of the world, so he might find one by the town.

”Are you sure? You are injured, I don't know if it's a good idea.” Asner was worried. Jin Rou was just getting better, and Asner was worried that it might worsen again.

”Don't worry about me.” Jin Rou chuckled, ”I may not look like it, but I am pretty strong.”

It was a good thing that Chaos didn't strip his power and qualifications here in Immortal. If ever it did, Jin Rou would surely complain for millions of times.

”Okay, then.” Asner could see the determined expression of Jin Rou and eventually agreed, ”But you need to stay by my side all the time. You are not allowed to roam without me.”

”Deal.” Jin Rou answered. It was natural that Asner would be like this, so he understood it and agreed.

Town of Strongone. It was one of the prestigious towns that the kingdom had. It was dedicated by the late emperor to the first friend he made who became an ancient king. The records about this was incomplete and lost, thus no one knew why the late emperor decided to name this town that way.

It was bustling like any other towns Jin Rou had seen. Only, the difference was that the people were more active than those he had seen. The stalls were properly lined up and the surroundings were clean, clearly that they were following by the rules.

They walked for 15 minutes before arriving to a certain place in the town.

Strongone Plaza. Currently, an event made by the higher officials of the kingdom was ongoing. There was a huge machine in the middle of the plaza and there was a punching bag hanging around.

Jin Rou could see that young ones were punching the bag with all their might and various numbers were appearing above the machine.
