Desolate island.
An area shrouded by a magical barrier.
Xu Xiaolong sat on a blue stone beside the barrier.
"Young Master Xu, Young Master He has been inside for quite some time now and still hasn't come out. Could he have failed?" a man said.
Xu Xiaolong smiled faintly and said, "He Xun is quite capable, the Martial Alliance's barrier wouldn't trouble him. Once he emerges, you can enter to find the Token. If you do so, you'll be the second person to find the Martial Alliance Token. In that case, entering the Inner Sea Martial Alliance will bring many benefits."
The man showed an excited expression and said, "Thank you for such generosity, Young Master Xu. However... your strength is second only to Young Master He's. I think it would be more significant if you secured second place over me."
Xu Xiaolong laughed, "Rankings mean nothing to me. I just need to enter the Inner Sea."
The man cupped his hands in respect and said, "I admire Young Master Xu's magnanimity!"
