From MC's Perspective:
Inside the essence chamber, I have spent 30 minutes trying to understand what's going on. I have also found some information about the challenger.
"That guy is already old. Why is he challenging me?" I said in my heart.
The warrior Stephen appears to be low-key. I haven't offended anyone before. Clearly, it's a sign of the Dark Variant Faction targeting me.
I don't know whether it's the decision of the warriors out there or if they are following the orders of the main elders.
My eyes flickered. Even though Master didn't say anything about the faction rivalry, after reading articles, I learned more about it.
The faction rivalry is such that even the Dean won't care or intervene. Even if I had shown my three elemental talents and comprehension skills, he wouldn't bother to save me if I were dragged into the faction rivalry.
