Chapter 2048 The Quota

Darren quickly checked his body. However, nothing had changed.

He was perplexed. What did this mean about the purple fruit?

He was certain it must have some sort of effect, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

After a moment, he sighed. 'Forget it, ' he thought. 'I'll just keep on testing and trying to determine the properties of the fruit in the future.'

He was slightly disappointed, but for the time being, he decided to ignore this issue.

After all, he had other things on his mind. The sect promotion assessment would take place in a few days.

Darren went out and flew to the headquarters of the Celestial Sect.

He headed directly towards the meeting hall of the sect, to pay a visit to Daxton.

The leader of the Celestial Sect was pleased to see him. "Alex, welcome back!" he exclaimed. "Take a seat, and have some tea with me."

Daxton smiled broadly, as though he had been reunited with an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Darren sat and accepted the tea. He said, "Sir, the sect promotion assessment is about to be conducted soon, right?"

"Yes. I was going to remind you, but then I realized you would never forget such an important schedule," Daxton replied.

Keep this in mind throughout the assessment." It would also be the first time that Daxton visited the imperial city. He was nervous and excited, and eager to make a good impression.

"Don't worry, sir. Do you think I'm like a troublemaker?" Darren said, smiling.

Daxton's heart skipped a beat. Darren had spoken lightly, but there was no doubt he had caused trouble in the past. Daxton thought, 'You may not look like a troublemaker, but you are.'

Of course, he kept this thought to himself. To cover the awkward moment, he smiled and asked if Darren had any questions.

"You said just now that the upper-rate sects would also take part in the assessment. But that's the top level a sect can reach. Why would they bother participating in this event? Or...is there an even higher level?" Darren asked. His brow was furrowed in confusion.

Daxton shook his head. He said, "The upper-rate sects are the top forces, inferior only to the royal family and the Yan Clan. Their status can't be upgraded any further. They take part in the assessment for a single reason: because of the quota set by the royal family," Daxton said.

"What quota?" Darren asked, intrigued.
