In the bustling town, in a corner of the tavern's main hall on the first floor, Wu Wang and Dong Gao, a pair of martial brothers, were enjoying a drink together.
Not far behind a wooden pillar, two middle-aged men dressed as merchants were laughing and toasting continuously. However, whenever Wu Wang and Dong Gao spoke, the voices of these two men would diminish.
The conversations nearby revolved entirely around the upcoming grand competition.
"Brother, the qualification for the grand examination that Sister Chun Luan secured for me must have taken a lot of effort."
"Indeed," Dong Gao said with a smile. "That's a martial arts class personally initiated by the Liuli God. Countless people are desperately trying to get in."
"The pressure is quite significant."
Wu Wang sighed. "My talent is just ordinarily excellent; Liuli City is filled with so many prodigies."
