Madico was still the same old loudmouth, unconcerned with who he was talking to. Guding felt happy hearing his voice again after nearly three months without contact, "Teacher, I've been busy with cultivation these past few days, so I set my communicator to block calls automatically."
"I know you've been busy. Seeing your bounty amount jump every few days, I knew you weren't slacking off. I guess you haven't had much time to practice potion crafting either. But there haven't been any news about you in the past few days, so I figured things had calmed down and wanted to remind you about the competition five days in advance. Turns out, I called you several times, but no one picked up."
"There are only three days left in the competition now. As for this ranking contest for newcomers, if you have time, participate; if not, then forget it." Madico didn't seem too concerned about the contest.
