Chongxu Master, Yu Ming Master, and Lotus Leaf Master had all rotated out and left.
Replacing them to continue garrisoning the Desolate Abyss were Master Wu Gong of the Taihe Sect, Tongming Master of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and... Master Qingqiu of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect.
Greeting them warmly were several gatherings organized by Du Youqian, as well as his invitations to spar.
Without damaging his Outer Pill Origin, Du Youqian, who was a Great Realm behind, still found it difficult to achieve a single victory, but no one dared to underestimate him.
In the end, however, Du Youqian finally secured his first victory, then a second... and kept on winning in his spars against Master Qingqiu.
But from Master Qingqiu's perspective, who had truly won or lost? That was another matter entirely.
At this point, Du Youqian's garrison duty was halfway over.
In another five years, he could return to the Sect and begin attempting Core Formation.
