6 Shower.
Alex's fist struck like a boss move, sending shockwaves through the air that left everyone wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
"(Man, I might've gone a little overboard)," Alex thought to himself, realizing he might've laid it on too thick.
"OH, OH, OH, holy crap!!! Did you see that? Please help Senior Brother, he looks pale as a ghost... oh oh... ah, my hand, it hurts like a mofo. I'm gonna take a breather and come back tomorrow. See ya!" Alex blurted out some lame excuses before making a quick exit from the Training Grounds.
No one dared to stop him; they were all in awe, while the Outer Sect Disciples looked at him like he was some kind of legend.
Once he was out of the Training Grounds, two Junior Disciples hurriedly rushed to help their Senior Brother.
"SENIOR BROTHER LIANG!!! ARE YOU OKAY???!!" They asked, concerned.
"I'm okay, I guess," Liang Chen replied, clearly not feeling too great.
"ARE YOU REALLY OKAY???!! SENIOR BROTHER!!! THAT SERVANT DISCIPLE HIT YOU SO HARD... IS YOUR STOMACH ALRIGHT???!!" The chubby-looking disciple blurted out, worry etched on his face.
"WHA... BLEEERGHH... BLEEERGH... BLEEERGH!!!" Liang Chen twisted in shame, puking up three mouthfuls of blood before passing out.
"SENIOR BROTHER!!!" The crowd rushed to his aid.

At midnight, Alex laid on his bed, gazing out the window at the massive moon in this world that made Earth's moon look like a small fry.
"What a beautiful world," Alex appreciated the stunning scenery of his new home.
"Dang, I need a shower," Alex crinkled his nose at his own smell.
"I'll do it tomorrow," he shrugged off the idea and prepared for some shut-eye.
"I wonder how my family's doing..." Memories of his loved ones back on Earth crept into his mind. His father, mother, and sister were so important to him.
He tried to push those thoughts away because he knew they'd just stress him out.
"I'll be back someday, I promise!" Alex clenched his bedcover, determined to see them again.
With that, he closed his eyes and dozed off.

In The Inner Sect Houses, A meeting was happening on one of the biggest mountains that stood there
A black-haired man with brown eyes, Liang Chen's Senior Brother, sat on a throne that looked like a King's throne, made out of gold and bling.
It was Li Tiangyang, Inner disciple.
"PLEASE!!! YOUNG MASTER Li Tianyang, HELP YOUR DISCIPLE GOT HUMILIATED" Liang Chen pleaded, still looking pale from Alex's punch.
Li Tiangyang looked at his disciple with a hint of amusement.
"Wait, he's just a servant disciple?" Li Tiangyang's voice was smooth as butter.
"YES!!! IT'S ZHI LI!!! PLEASE YOUNG MASTER, I'M IN SERIOUS TROUBLE, EVERYONE'S TREATING ME LIKE A JOKE!!!" Liang Chen cried on the floor.
Li Tiangyang just said, "Amazing."
No one knew what the heck was going on in his head.

Next day.
"Huuuuhhh... GOOD MORNING WORLD!!!" Alex jumped out of bed with a burst of energy.
"Day three in this world, what's up for today?" Alex was all about staying positive and finding joy in every situation.
He smiled and left the room, but not before...
"Sniff... Sniff... Sniff... Aughhh, I need a shower!!!" Alex grimaced at his own stench.
[Congratulations! You have taken 2 Points of damage +2 Years of Lifespan.]
Alex looked at the weird message and twitched his face.
Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!
"BIG BROTHER LI!!!" Chang Li walked in.
"Oh, it's you, JUNIOR BROTHER LI. Perfect timing, tell me where to go for a shower. I smell like a dumpster fire." Alex complained to Chang Li.
Chang Li chuckled and said, "Just head to the Waterfalls near Qingyun City. Go north for a few hours after leaving the sect."
"Thanks, Junior Brother Chang. You're a lifesaver! So, why'd you come here?" Alex thanked him and asked.
"Oh yeah, in three days, we're gonna hit up the Arcane Archive to pick our techniques. Be on time and don't miss it, it's a big deal, and you might not get another chance." Chang Li reminded him, hoping some common sense survived Alex's memory loss.
"Come on, I'm not that dumb. Thanks for the heads up. Now, I gotta shower. Later, Junior Brother Chang!!!" Alex darted past him, making a beeline for the sect's exit.
"HEY, YOU NEED A PASS!!!" Chang Li yelled after him, but it was too late, Alex was already gone.
"Hope he doesn't get himself into trouble," Chang Li sighed and headed to the training grounds.
--
"Haha haha haa... shower, here I come!!!" Alex hummed happily as he strolled towards the exit, thoroughly grossed out by his own smell. As a modern dude, showering once a day was non-negotiable for him.
He left the bustling buildings of the sect, passing by vendors hawking their stuff. Some seemed sketchy, but he took comfort in the fact that not everything was a scam in this world.
"I wonder if I'll find any legit stuff in this bazaar." Alex inspected various goods, but he had one mission on his mind: getting that bath.
--
Ten minutes later.
Finally, Alex reached the sect's exit.
"Woooow," he marveled at the sheer scale of everything around him. This world was like a massive theme park on steroids. Everything was so extravagant and shiny, he couldn't even find a tiny flaw if he tried.
"Yo, is there some secret conspiracy behind all this?" Alex wondered as he left the sect.
"Pass."
BOOOM!
A voice boomed so loud that Alex felt like his eardrums were under attack.
"(Dude, chill! No need to blow my ears off!)" Alex complained internally, but he still smiled and politely bowed to the elder sitting in the cabin at the entrance.
"Elder, I'm Zhi Li. Can you tell me where to get a pass? I kinda forgot to bring mine."
The elder opened his eyes and looked at Alex, then said, "Go to the mission center, they'll give you the pass and explain everything."
"Thanks, Elder. Oh, before I go, can I ask---"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The entire mountain shook as if it was having a full-blown earthquake.
Alex stared dumbfounded, his thoughts interrupted by the earth-shattering explosion.
"What the heck just happened?
Elder looked over the mountain and his face went pale "OH MY GOD!!!" He took out a talisman and yelled inside "EMERGENCY!!! EVERYONE GATHER!!!"
