No one was aware of Su Zhou's arrival. Feng Qiang, being an old acquaintance, had been specially chosen to greet him. Guan Wanjing, however, clearly didn't understand why their Grandmaster had specifically requested to see Su Zhou.
After passing through a series of training grounds filled with shouted slogans and sweating cultivators, the two men led Su Zhou to a plain, unremarkable building behind the village. They then prepared to turn and leave—the Grandmaster had invited Su Zhou, not them, and they wouldn't listen in without permission.
'For the past three years, I've been cultivating Spiritual Power, honing my body, practicing my techniques, and strengthening my fundamentals. But I've had no real combat experience. Though Su Zhou is young, even I, sequestered in these mountains, have heard of his many exploits.'
