Yu Xuan found himself in the same place for the third time.
The first thing he did was calculate time mentally.
Nearly three hours had passed since the moment his first run began.
Time was still flowing, just not in a way that favored him.
"I need to keep track of this…" Yu Xuan muttered. His medallion remained completely unresponsive.
"And I don't even know how long this loop will last."
Without hesitation, he turned and ran in the direction opposite the sun.
It was the same direction he had been dragged toward earlier – but this time, he moved willingly.
If nothing else, he could change direction later and test the limits of this place.
As he ran, he sensed it clearly.
His pursuers were still there.
But this time… they weren't rushing.
'Did my self-destruction shock them? Or is there another reason?' Yu Xuan wondered.
He was partly right.
