After playing with Xiao Huan, Lian Chen decided to cultivate for the night and then explore the outside world tomorrow.
Lian Chen felt a surge of excitement as he hadn't had the opportunity to explore the outside world for a considerable period of time.
During his cultivation, Lian Chen once again entered his inner dantian and beheld the serene sight of the Lotus Flower, gently suspended in stillness.
"When will I know more about you." Lian Chen contemplated, his mind burdened with the desire to uncover more about his origins and family. He wondered when he would be able to gain further insights into his own history.
"Well, regardless, as long as I continue my cultivation, I am confident that I will eventually uncover more about myself," Lian Chen resolved, choosing to set aside these insignificant thoughts and focus on his training.
The following day, Lian Chen fed Xiao Huan and prepared himself to venture into the outside world.
Stepping out of his courtyard, he was taken aback to find his neighbor to be none other than Duan Wu Kun, the runner-up of the Outer Court Competition.
"Yo, is it not the champion?" Duan Wu Kun saw Lian Chen and clasped his fist towards him.
"Duan Wu Kun, how have you been?" Lian Chen saw that it was Duan Wu Kun and reciprocated the gesture, showing his respect.
"Ah, don't worry about formalities. Just call me Brother Duan. After all, we've made the journey from the Outer Court to the Inner Court together," Duan Wu Kun chuckled.
After emerging victorious in the battle against Huo Tianlu and claiming the title of Outer Court Competition champion, Duan Wu Kun regarded Lian Chen as a deserving comrade, worthy of being his brother.
"Well, what are you going to do today?" Duan Wu Kun asked.
"I am just going to see the outside world for today, nothing much. What about you?" Lian Chen replied.
"I? Today, I plan to venture into the Inner Court. I've heard there are missions to undertake and, most importantly, I want to check out the ranking board to see who holds the title of the strongest," Duan Wu Kun exclaimed with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
Lian Chen chuckled at his response as he thought that this guy is just a fighting machine.
"Alright, I will see you next time then." Lian Chen bid his farewell before leaving the Buddha Benevolent Sect.
"Aight, See you." Duan Wu Kun also bidded his farewell.
Lian Chen couldn't contain his excitement as he exclaimed, "Wow, this is the city!"
Lian Chen stepped into the bustling city, filled with vibrant colors and lively energy. Everywhere he looked, there were stalls selling martial skills, paintings depicting legendary battles, and shops offering various cultivation materials to enhance one's progress on the path of cultivation.
