Chaos City.
Dongguan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City was enormous, with many places in its outer grounds, such as the publicly accessible Chaos Stele chambers and the Treasure Exchange Office, which was not yet open to Dongguan.
The outer gates of the City Lord's Mansion always stood open, with people coming and going.
"Hey, Dongguan!" At the sudden call, Dongguan turned to look. It was Hanlei, who was coming out of the area containing the Chaos Stele chambers.
"You went to study the Chaos Stele again?" Dongguan looked at Hanlei's forehead, which already bore a thunder mark.
"Yes. Studying the Chaos Stele helped me improve a great deal, so naturally I wanted to study it again, as much as possible. I still have attempts left now, but each successive floor of the Heavenly Bridge gets harder," Hanlei said with a sigh.
At this point, less than a month had passed since they arrived in Chaos City.
"Hanlei," Dongguan felt he should remind him, "opportunities to study the Chaos Stele will become harder and harder to obtain. It's best to build up enough understanding before going, so you can gain the most from it. It's been so little time since your last session that you probably haven't accumulated much. You need a solid foundation before you can make a breakthrough."
"Thanks for the reminder," Hanlei said gratefully. "But I actually know that already. It's just that I couldn't break through my latest bottleneck during my last session, so I went again so soon. Look, haven't I gained the recognition of the Origin Law of Thunder now?"
Hanlei pointed at his forehead.
"As long as you know, that's fine." Dongguan nodded and prepared to leave.
"Dongguan, what did you come here for this time?
