Chapter 671: Temples’ Great Gathering (I) (2/2)
An exaggeratedly handsome face with golden hair draped behind his head, and a pair of golden eyes devoid of the slightest impurity. The warm smile on his face felt so pure, just like the aura dispersed from him.
Right, they had not met for close to five years, during which he became even taller, and even more steady and mature. He had gained a quite stalwart look to replace the unripe features from five years ago. If Tan Wan were to describe his imposing manner, the only word to come to her mind would be perfect.’
It’s him! But how could it be? Wasn’t he missing since long before?
This handsome face was just too deeply engraved in Tan Wan’s memories. Wasn’t it right for the sake of surpassing him one day that she had been cultivating so hard during the past four years?
Seeing this missing boy reappear for real in front of her, Tan Wan felt her heartbeat visibly accelerate. This man felt like light itself, an existence of incredible level in her mind.
“Salute Temple Head Li on my behalf.” The white clad young man nodded to Tan Wan, before leaving in an unhurried walk.
Tan Wan just stood there, suddenly raising her head only after looking blank for several seconds, but that white figure had already disappeared completely from sight.
“Is that him? Is that really him? I’m not dreaming?” Tan Wan muttered irresolutely. She had formerly imagined many times the scene of their next encounter. Wasn’t it for the very objective of catching up to him she had been cultivating so assiduously? But seeing him again, she realized with a start that the gap between the two of them had only gotten even larger. Why is it that when I look at him, I have that same feeling of mystery as when I look at Teacher? Only, teacher’s feeling of depths is even more straightforward, while his feels just distant.
If he has really come back, then how about Teacher’s plans? Thinking so far, Tan Wan suddenly had a change of look, and ran in the opposite direction with almost no hesitation. A breeze was attached to her body, turning him into a green ray disappearing toward horizon.
Morning.
Dawn rose gradually, and an expanse of white towered over the deep blue sky. Holy City was already in a bustling state.
All around the Alliance’s Great Stadium was an impenetrable crowd, aside from the few specialized entrances. But all around this stadium were ten projecting screens, broadcasting the stage of the Temples’ Great Gathering.
The magical crystal projector was invented long ago, but was used very rarely, because its consumption was really massive. A magical crystal of the seventh step would last for only half an hour before being out of energy. The magical crystals of the ninth step would make it last longer, but inserting one in a magic projector would cause unredeemable damage to it. So in other words, maintaining the broadcast had cost ten magic crystals. And the hunt of magical beasts of the ninth step was nothing so easy! That was an astronomic fortune!
These masses which had surrounded the Alliance’s Great Stadium were aiming at getting closer to the magic screens, to see as clearly as possible this marvellous once-in-ten-years event.
For the sake of preserving the order in Holy City, the streams of people were separated, and close to twenty thousand practitioners were mobilized by the Six Great Temples to put order. But without a doubt, this being the location of the real event, almost everyone wished to watch from this area.
There was quite some time before the first day of the competition, but this area was already bustling since long ago. Some people even held various gambling events in private, some betting for the ordering of points accumulation amongst the Six Great Temples, some betting for the number one in this round, and some betting for the final champion.
