**************
Two hours later, it was noon and everyone was provided lunch along with a short ten-minute break. Sun Zhan took this chance to come over to chat with Ye Qin and Wang Tao during the break.
”It's been a while.” Ye Qin told him.
”It has been indeed, I can tell that you must be stronger than last year. It will be a while before I can see you two show off.” Sun Zhan replied.
”How's the sage?” Wang Tao couldn't help but ask.
It had already been over a year since their first venture into the Abandoned Lands. There, they went on a journey meeting the Great Sage as well as a battle between powerhouses during their short trip. Now, the Great Sage should be much stronger than in the past since it had followed Sun Zhan for the entire year.
”He's doing great, he can't wait to see the two of you again.” Sun Zhan smiled bitterly.
”Who is this gentlemen?” Jia Yazhu behind them asked.
”This is our friend Sun Zhan.” Wang Tao answered.
”Hello there, I am Sun Zhan from the War God Academy.” Sun Zhan introduced himself. Jia Yazhu took his hand and introduced herself as well.
Sun Zhan then noticed the two others who didn't say anything but only looked at him. ”Hahaha, I guess you two have some unfriendly teammates, it must be hard on you,” he told them.
”Well, it can't be as hard as having 'her' on your team.” Ye Qin replied.
”So you two did know her, that's good. She's the leader of our team this time.” Sun Zhan said.
”En, it's quite obvious, if you were the leader with your strength then the sun must have rose from the west.” Wang Tao nodded.
”...”
”...”
”I'll see you guys later, I'll return to my team now.” Sun Zhan said as he turned around. When he got back to his seat, it was already time for the rest of the first round to begin.
After two hours, 8th and 7th place were determined. Now, the second round would officially begin with the battle for 6th and 5th place.
