"Then, struck once more."
...
By the time the boat docked at Yun Province port, it was already late at night. Shen Yuan and his two companions disembarked under the cover of the Imperial Decree of Truth.
Standing on the pier, Xue Mingzhi bowed respectfully to Shen Yuan with an apologetic expression on his face:
"The Knowledge Discussion Conference trip exposed me to the prodigies of various sects and it forced me to confront the deficiencies in my own cultivation level and Divine Arts.
I have resolved that once I return to the Imperial Capital, I will reflect on the Divine Arts and look for opportunities to break through the Qi Training Stage. I will visit the master in Wenn City once my breakthrough is achieved."
Upon hearing Xue Mingzhi's words, a hint of surprise rose in Shen Yuan's eyes.
Xue Mingzhi had stayed hidden in his room since boarding the boat. Now that he thinks about it, Xue Mingzhi must have been wrestling with this decision.
