Unbeknownst to him, he had racked up quite some points since the morning.

 "900 points, it looks like the Zhang clan is in quite some uproar".

 It appeared that throwing Zhang Hua\'s body at their doorstep was the right choice, he not only got back at that despicable clan but also earned some points through it.

Yang Chen came down to the dining hall, and after finishing his breakfast, he quickly slipped out of the Inn.

Since he didn\'t know when he would accidentally bump into that girl again, he wanted to avoid staying in this place as much as possible. As such, Yang Chen roamed the streets of Cloud City purchasing things he deemed necessary for his travel.

The first thing that he went shopping for, was clothes. Yang Chen was practically lacking clothes. Other than the one he had on, he did not have any more. As such, he bought a few sets of clothes that seemed okay to his eyes.

 Of course, none of them had any enchantments cast into them like the black robe he had on. When he asked the shopkeeper about it, the guy gave him a weird look as if asking what are you talking about.

Nevertheless, from their reaction Yang Chen was able to guess that clothing like that with enchantment cast on them wasn\'t something one could just find anywhere or known about for that fact. Or else the shopkeeper wouldn\'t have given him that look.

After stocking up on clothes, Yang Chen went for the spices next, the flavours that brought life into the food. The bland food he had every day before coming to this city, was a torture through and through. He could no longer go back to eating the same thing hence he wanted to stock up on some spices.

He at least wanted basic ingredients like salt and sugar. Fortunately for him, he found quite a few shops selling spices of all kinds. Yang Chen did not hesitate to buy varieties of them.

In his previous life, he did not get to enjoy anything thus in this life, he wanted to experience all kinds of things and cooking was one of them. He believed that in the future when he roamed the world, it was a skill that would come in handy.

After stocking up on spices, Yang Chen set his sights next on the more important things like the map and information about his surroundings.

Although he knew the province and the empire he was currently in from the passengers of that carriage, there were still so many things he was vastly unaware of. Such as the world he was in, what was it called? Why did the battle energy exist here? What was the peak rank called? And so and so forth.

There were still so many things he did not know about as such, a map would help him a lot. However, even after spending hours of time and entering many different shops and auction houses, Yang Chen still came out empty handed.

What was going on, why was a map so rare to buy here? Unable to find a map, Yang Chen had no choice but to give up on it for the time being.

"Hold on a second, wouldn\'t the Holy Orchard Academy have a map of the world in its library?".

One more reason for him to apply for the entrance test. Well, Yang Chen still had four days to think about it hence there was no reason to hurry a decision.

Giving up on buying a map, Yang Chen looked for information about the Zhang clan next. This clan was a thorn in his path and every time he came in contact with it, the lingering emotions and regrets of the previous owner of the body would surface up along with those memories.

Honestly, Yang Chen did not like recalling those memories since they felt very real, like he was experiencing and living them himself.

He would very much like them to disappear but to do that, it was necessary to wipe out this clan and only then did he feel like these regrets would disappear. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

 Nevertheless, it was easier said than done to wipe out a clan that even the Lin clan and Xiao clan were helpless against. Who knew how many strong people they had in their clan, their strength and what kind of battle skills they had?

An extensive research into these things needed to be done before he could wage a one man war against the Zhang clan.

Fortunately for him, the Zhang clan was the overlord of this city and every movement and action they made, was the gossip of the town. However, it did not mean that he could dig into sensitive information from the ordinary masses.

Donning on his black robe, Yang Chen dived inside many dark alleys and shady establishments. Although he did find some information about the Zhang clan, there was no way of confirming the authenticity of it.

Plus, him digging around had also attracted multiple spies on him who he quickly escaped from.

"Do I have no other way than to sneak inside the Zhang Manor myself?".

As much as he abhorred that place, this was his only option and a dangerous one at that. Sneaking inside the enemy base not knowing their strength, would get him into a hell lot of trouble.

Of course, he had full faith in his Sky grade Battle Skills even if all of them were in the beginner completion rate, if he superimposed multiple of them at once he believed even a Battle Grandmaster won\'t be able to find him.

But that kind of thing took a heavy toll on his body and consumed too much battle energy. He wouldn\'t be able to keep that up for long.

While he was deliberating what his next choice of action should be, he came across a notice board that gathered quite a lot of crowd around it.
