A look of interest appeared in Elder Mu's eyes. "Alright," he said. "Find me after you reach the Meridian Realm. I'm quite curious myself to see if you can really defeat a Unity Realm expert while only at the Meridian Realm."
"Alright, then it's settled. I'll be on my way," Shen Bai said, setting down his teacup and rising to his feet.
He didn't waste any time. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Elder Mu, he left the room and headed for a room in the Martial Arts Arena to grind the Skill Level of his Poison Avoidance and Rejuvenation Skill.
Shen Bai watched the green light pulsing in his hand and the Skill Level numbers ticking upward, a great sense of satisfaction washing over him.
'The day of the internal assessment will be the day I reach the Meridian Realm,' Shen Bai thought.
...
Time gradually passed, and many days flew by in the blink of an eye.
