A streak of golden light seeped into his body, and Shangguan Shi nodded approvingly.
"You may leave now!"
Bowing his hands in farewell, Li Fan left the Universal Courtyard.
"It's a bit awkward now, I guess even Zhang Zhiliang wouldn't have anticipated that I'd be eliminated in the first round."
"Calculating the time left, it's still over a year until the Crimson Flame Sea of Conflagration."
"I certainly can't go back, so I'll follow the original plan, wander around Tianyu Province for a while. After Daoist He has finished his closed-door training, I'll go and join him."
"As for Zhang Zhiliang..."
"Hopefully, he wouldn't give up the chance for Unity-path cultivation and come to bother me over such a trivial matter."
Recalling the Debating Tower that Shangguan Shi had mentioned, Li Fan, with nowhere to go, inquired about its location and promptly headed there.
The Debating Tower was more than just one building.
It was an expansive complex of interconnected buildings.
