I tried to stand up, tried was the magic word because everything hurt, I could even feel the growth of new muscle tissue and the soreness that followed it. I was unable to stand up unaided, and Wu Di came to my aid, he propped his shoulder under mine and helped me walk.
"Let me take you back to the inn, you need rest Shen Bao," Wu Di said as he glanced around, he had a wary look on his face as if afraid of someone attacking us.
"Why the long face?" I asked, "You look worried," I said as I looked at the rest of Wu Di's companions, "You all look worried." I added.
"Yes, now that you're a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, the Demon Kins are allowed to attack you on sight, you hereby entered the competition for the Lords Ranking.
"Oh, I believed it would be an arena-like tournament or something like that," I said.
