The room was suddenly filled with powerful entities — beings who, under ordinary circumstances, didn't even bother acknowledging each other's existence.

But for now, it wasn't the time to fight. The atmosphere was tense, but also curious. Something or rather, someone had drawn them together.
Elder Kun had just left Yu Xuan in the room, and with a casual wave of his hand, transported the remaining disciples outside. He didn't want them to witness what was about to unfold.
Not because it was dangerous though it very well could be, but because of what it might do to their hearts.
Elder Kun knew the disciples well.
They might appear composed and mature on the outside, but aside from a rare few, most were still arrogant, pampered brats with fragile egos.
Witnessing a peer stand on the edge of such recognition could crush their confidence, plant seeds of inferiority, or worse — create heart demons.
