A week was no different than a day for Alex as it all passed by too quickly for him to even care about. He had barely made any improvements at all either since it was too short of a time.
And somehow, he had the same person come visit him once again.
Xichen came to his prison once again, this time wearing a soft gray robe with a hood hiding her from the sun.
Her arrival caused a bit of a stir among the guards, who tried to block her from advancing, but the woman forced her way in anyway.
Alex stood up, walking toward her, stopping just 10 meters away from her. "You have returned. How was the ceremony?"
Alex's words caused the woman to grimace almost immediately.
"I failed."
"Seriously? How strong was the beast?" Alex asked.
"It was a desert panther. Not as tough as the crab, but faster than what I could handle. I ended up making a mistake and needed to be saved," she said.
"That sucks. You'll surely succeed next time though. Just train harder."
