From MC's Perspective:
The following day,
I woke up earlier. Then I immediately went to the Golden Lightning Palace to cultivate. I have a duel today. So I have to recover the purple essence before the start of the duel.
About a few hours later,
I walked out of the essence chamber. The Faction Warriors are yet here to come to train. So I left the place and started walking towards my residence.
Shortly afterwards,
I arrived at my residence and went to take a bath.
Meanwhile,
The news of Arena Duel is known to almost all the warriors in the Outer Hall. The Mid and Small size Factions are looking forward to the duel.
Including those who are experienced seniors above Black Rank Cultivation decided to pay attention as well. In the Thunderflame Faction. No one is talking about it openly.
