Chapter 88 The Gathering of Experts Part 1 (2/2)

”Horoups, and Krehan's imperial fao, we are already late for the first encounter”

Before Daniel could even ask about this ”first encounter”, Ede square In this square, thealong with their disciples At the sides of the square, were two long balconies, inside which, two sets of chairs had been placed These sets of chairs were divided into private boxes

Right in front of hi platform, on which seven chairs had been placed in an ordered line The chairs in the her position than the ones to its sides

These chairs were completely occupied by just as many people These people were all extremely well dressed, and had a noble attitude They quietly looked at the scene in the square in silence

Sitting at the edges of this line of chairs, were the two youngest ast thee, and a teenage girl that seee Closer to the center, were another young woman that showed the vitality of a twenty year old wo man that see on the two chair placed at the direct sides of the ed wo man that see on the slightly elevated chair in the center of the platfored man This man had a stern look on his face, and seeolden armor, noble features, and overall appearance seened to remind others of this man's superiority

These people were the imperial family of the Krehan empire, and thearound for just a ain

He had never seen soand powerful people

Usually he would be able to see people in their twenties with a cultivation rank between the fourth and fifth sage But the average here was on another level Everyone was at his and Jerigh's level of cultivation level at the very least

Edmund noticed Daniel's shock and said ”Makes you think, doesn't it?”

”I was never the arrogant type I expected people at my level to exist I just didn't think I would be able to see so htly irritated tone

”Relax These people aren't as talented as you are They have used other ht s of this absolute prodigy's horizon

With narrowed eyes and furrowed brows, Daniel looked at Edmund and asked ”What kind of rounds” Responded Edain, Daniel started to feel his body shi+ver in excite time essence He looked at Edmund with vivid eyes and said ”So that's one use of time essence How does it work?”

”Time essence affects other essences, but not the natural consu time in a pocket dimension would allow one to absorb and consu faster” Responded Edmund with a patient tone

Shock was clearly visible on Daniel's face It didn't matter how many people in history would eventually learn about this, there would never be soht now

The description of a pocket dimension with speeded time seemed to be a description of his very own karmic system

While still in the midst of his surprise, Daniel couldn't help but ask a question that popped into his mind ”So, can I expect other participants to have an incredible comprehension of essences or perfect masteries of weapons?”

”Why do you ask that?” Asked Edhtly confused face

Daniel could already guess the answer by looking at Edmund's reaction, so he said ”Well, I assume that they are all rich beyond measure They must have exploited all possibilities to reach the ?”

”You are not wrong All of these disciples were able to cultivate in pocket diave them much more time to practice the use of weapons, comprehend essences, and learn martial and spiritual arts It is better if you don't underestimate them” Responded Edmund with a dead serious tone He then continued ”The first day of the event is the presentation The disciples will go up on the stage one by one, and present themselves in front of the experts”

”How many events are there?” Asked Daniel curiously

”Five events Presenting, De” Responded Ed around He then said ”Each event is two days apart from the other, so worry about your presentation”

Daniel had finally started to feel a little pressure from the whole event He then said ”What ae, path of cultivation Your origins Just observe what others do It's unlikely that you'll be the first one” Responded Edin”

Suddenly, every single master within the square disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were occupying the boxes within the two balconies At the sae appeared It was a sie made out of stone, and all of them looked at it in silence

Daniel had no idea of what to do So he stood back and observed

The various disciples looked at each other for a ht

The first to put his foot on the stony surface was a young man in blue robes, which had used water essence to propel himself himself with a water jet The robe was extreh to show his athletic body His hair were of a lucid black color, which under the sunlight formed a dark blue reflection

The rest of the cultivators were rejected by the stage the verye, turned to look at the imperial family, and after a deep bow, he said ”This loyal servant's name is Midio”
