"I ended up staying at the Dragon Pavilion for longer than I'd intended… I hope I don't get scolded for suddenly disappearing after signing up for the challenge…" Yuan mumbled to himself as he power-walked back to the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon's Gate Tower after leaving the Dragon Pavilion, silently hoping that Min Li was still inside the tower.
"What the heck?"
When Yuan returned to the tower, he was shocked by the progress Min Li had made during the 3 hours that he'd disappeared, and to his surprise, Min Li was only on the 43rd floor!
'It took her over three hours to progress a little over 10 floors?! Just how long will this challenge take?' Yuan cried inwardly.
After standing around for a few more moments, Yuan approached one of the nearby disciples before asking him, "Excuse me, fellow disciple. How long does it usually take for one to come out of the tower?"
