"Without a cultivation haven like the Nine Nether Fire Sea, other resources wouldn't mean much.
I'm now at Earth Tier Ninth Grade Late Stage. Advancing further would be far from easy. But if I had powerful opponents constantly pushing me, perhaps they could draw out my potential.
So, I'd like to play a game with the elders," Tang Yan decided.
"A game?" Interest stirred in Xiao Cangshan's eyes, and he asked curiously, "Let's hear it."

"Sparring partners? You certainly set a high bar for those." Xiao Cangshan's eyes widened.

"Thank you, Dean!" Tang Yan hastened to thank him.
