"Finally... We're here..."
Hu Long stood in a sweat just past the Dabang Sect City's entry gates, heaving and panting as he buckled over, leaning his hands on his knees. He and Ryker had just gotten through the gate inspection, a fairly quick process since Hu Long had just the bare necessities in his pack.
The guards of course had no idea about Ryker's storage rings in Mini C's dimensional pocket...
"Hey, good job, dude! You're really getting the hang of it, now," Ryker said from beside him, clapping him on the back, which made Hu Long grit his teeth and hold back a curse as a shock went through his aching body.
He had wanted to squeeze out as much knowledge of the mana body refining technique out of Ryker as possible while they were still traveling together, so Ryker suggested that he practice the method while they were walking for the last day of their journey.
He figured it would hurt... but the pain he felt right now was ridiculous!
