The legendary warrior

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, it was time for the Misty South Palace's selection to begin.

About thirty thousand warriors had signed up for the selection in total, and they had all gathered at an enormous square that day. These were the most talented and powerful warriors from the central and outer regions.

However, only ten out of these thirty thousand warriors would be chosen to become the Misty South Palace's core disciples. It would undoubtedly be an intense competition.

It was noticeable that there were no warriors from the inner region, but the Misty South Palace had opted not to include them for a reason. In the inner region, most, if not all, talented warriors belonged to Sage Level forces. Thus, they didn't need the Misty South Palace's protection.

Most of the saints in attendance held the selection with the utmost respect and importance. After all, the creams of their crops were participating in it, and these warriors would be the future of their forces.

Ricky, of course, immediately made a beeline for Mordechai and Lloyd.

Besides him, the Five-element Sect had two more disciples who would join the selection—Mordechai and Ella. The pair had managed to get their hands on the tokens, and with them, they gained access to the Misty South Palace's selection along with Ricky.

It was certainly good news for the Sage Level forces like the Five-element Sect to have three of their disciples joining the selection.

"Remember this: you three must trust each other and look out for each other!" Lloyd said to Ricky, Mordechai, and Ella. At this moment, he seemed more like a concerned father than a saint.

Of course, it wasn't surprising to see him act like this. The Five-element Sect might be at the Sage Level, but they were at the bottom of the barrel. Geniuses like Ricky, Ella, and Mordechai were essential to their sect; it would be a massive loss if any one of them died in the selection.

The three of them knew that Lloyd was worried for their safety, so they nodded and took his words to heart.

As Ricky looked around, he caught sight of some talented warriors from the outer region whom he had already met. He spotted Mike, Enoch, Peter, and Claire. Since there was no animosity between them, the four greeted Ricky with a friendly wave.

For some reason, he felt like he and Claire had a special connection. Maybe it was because he had acquired the king's inheritance while she was the queen in her previous life.

Michael and Brandon also caught Ricky's attention, and the two stared back at him with murderous looks on their faces. They despised Ricky because they, too, had their eyes on Paul's inheritance that he had acquired. To put it simply, they were envious.

At this point, the participants turned expectant looks toward the First Deputy Chief, waiting for him to declare the selection's beginning.
