As Duncan was immersed in deep thought, the demonic ape had already entered through the gates and the scramble to enter once more began in earnest among the demonic beast.
Duncan watched the scramble with a serious look on his face. To him, it embodied the cultivation world as a whole. The struggle to stand out amongst peers and have the strength to challenge someone at a higher level was the core of the cultivation world.
Only very few top existences could saunter through the cultivation world like Shen Wulong's fiancé or the demonic ape did. Others had to scramble amongst themselves to find their footing at the top.
Duncan didn't want to be like these demonic beasts that were scrambling for position. He wanted to saunter through like that demonic ape. For that, being good wasn't enough. Even being a cut above the rest wasn't enough. For that, he must be incomparably strong and be head and shoulders above everyone.
