Chapter 209: Party? (2/2)
Hannah was a little shocked at his response. ”Skip classes? That important? What is happening in the western continent?” she asked.
”It's just in the Crimson Empire. We have an upcoming annual competition for all the sects there. I haven't confirmed how long it will last, but I will leave for the capital city around Friday. So, I may or may not be able to do anything on Saturday,” he said.
”Although, the competition should be starting on Sunday, so maybe we might get lucky,” he said. ”You know what, let me confirm with my master on Friday, that should be enough time for preparation, right?” he asked.
”Yeah, that should be fine. It's just ordering some stuff online,” Hannah said. Soon they finished breakfast and Alex helped Hannah prepare their lunch before they left for their classes.
Alex went back to his room and logged in to check on himself.
He was back in the familiar grassland, laying on the ground. The sky was as clear as ever, with no signs of clouds, let alone rain.
”Now that I think about it, has it ever rained since I got in this game?” he thought. He remembered quite a few days with clouds hanging in the sky but It never rained.
”Urghh,” he grunted as he stood up. His hand was somehow still holding the torn robe to his chest. He tried to pull it off but turned out, the blood had dried up and left the robe stuck to his chest.
He slowly pulled it out, making sure he didn't reopen his closed-off wound. Finally, he sighed in relief once the robe was out. While his physical healing wasn't as good as his Qi one, it still was enough for him to not lose too much blood to such a small wound.
He tried to see if he was hungry, but thankfully he was not. However, given that he would have to get some food for himself later on in the day, he decided to do it now and leave later for finding the yang jades.
He still wasn't getting anywhere close with that thing.
He walked to the cliffs where the fruits were growing high up and reached there in about 15 minutes. ”I still have more than an hour before I need to leave,” he thought.
There were more than a few people near the cliff. Some trying to climb up the side, some just throwing stones, hoping to hit the fruits. However, neither of them was successful as the fruits were over 50 meters up the cliff.
That was a very high place for all of them to reach. Alex was also stumped for a second. He didn't want to climb the cliff, so he could only throw stones at the fruits. But at such a height, his accuracy would suffer a lot.
The dozens of disciples there were all either outer sect disciples or inner sect disciples. He didn't see a single core disciple.
”That Song Zun guy was sent here too right? For 2 months I think. I wonder where he went,” Alex thought, but quickly ignored it. It was time for him to get some food for himself.
