"Then I'll be on my way now."
After Yuan had been given the token, Dragon Princess Meihui quickly left the scene.
There were two major reasons why Dragon Princess Meihui gave Yuan the token, allowing him to skip the assessment entirely. The first reason was simple: she could tell by Yuan's dragon scent that he was more than qualified to participate, making the assessment process unnecessary and a waste of time.
The second reason was because of the meat skewers. If the others in line were forced to endure the enticing aroma for too long, it would likely lead to another commotion. By allowing Yuan to leave early, they would avoid any further disruptions caused by the irresistible scent of the skewers.
With the token in his grasp, Yuan and Yingzi left the scene, disappearing into the distance.
"I guess I don't need to worry about being affiliated with the Divine Dragon Sanctuary for now." Yuan tossed the token into his spatial ring.
"What are you going to do for the next two years?" Yingzi asked him.
"Hmm…"
Yuan pondered for several minutes before responding, "If the Divine Dragon Sanctuary is as powerful as the Eternal Phoenix Domain, they should have training areas like the Nine Levels of Hell, right? I should take this time to strengthen myself further and prepare for the festival."
"But will they allow someone who isn't affiliated with their territory to use these training spots?" Yingzi mused.
"Let's go ask that blue-haired dragon."
Yingzi and Yuan made their way back to the blue-haired dragon, who'd barely moved from his spot since they left.
"Hm? You're back already? Did something happen?" The blue-haired man asked them with a puzzled face since it'd been less than two hours since they left.
Yuan shook his head and explained, "No, I have the participation token in my possession. I returned because I have some more questions."
"Already? That place is usually crowded, and it normally takes several weeks to acquire a token unless you skipped the queue," the man remarked, his expression filled with surprise.
"One thing led to another, and I somehow managed to skip the line." Yuan smiled.
"So something did happen…"
"By the way, why are you still here?"
"Oh, I am something like a guide. It's my job to assist visitors like you. There are many first-time visitors because of the Dragon God Festival, after all."
"I see…"
"Anyway, you have some questions, right? I'll try my best to answer them."
"I'm looking for something to do while I wait for the Dragon God Festival. Are there any training areas available in the Divine Dragon Sanctuary?" Yuan asked.
"Training grounds, huh? There are several, but they are only accessible by those affiliated with the Divine Dragon Sanctuary."
