Due to what happened earlier this morning, Chen arrived late for his class, and his teacher made him clean as a consequence. While Chen was cleaning, his friend Qin came to him to share something important.
"Brother Chen, I wanted to tell you that I discovered some new information. Maybe you'd like to hear it."
Chen asked, "What is that information, Qin?"
Qin immediately shared the information he obtained.
"You know, Brother Chen, one of the powerful martial sects is opening up for newcomers. I told you because I know you've been looking for a martial sect to join. You should grab this opportunity."
Chen was surprised and delighted. He hugged Qin, grateful for the significant help in protecting his loved ones. Because of this, Chen left quickly without saying goodbye to his teacher. Qin scratched his head in confusion as Chen abruptly left.
Chen walked happily, as the received information brought him joy. While walking, something sudden happened.
*Whoosh*
Chen quickly dodged and looked towards the source, saying, "I don't know who you are, but I know you're there."
A man in black attire appeared. Chen didn't know the man's identity, so he asked, "Who are you? You threw a dagger at me twice. What do you want?"
The man in black angrily replied, "You don't need to know who I am. You might die today!"
Saying that, the man lunged at Chen like a gust of wind.
*Whoosh*
Chen was startled and managed to dodge the attack, blocking the man's right hand. Due to the impact, Chen flew to the side.
*Crack*
Chen landed on the ground and quickly stood up, glaring at the man. His hand was bleeding, and his head had several wounds from blocking the attack.
