「Three days later.」
Shangjing Prefecture, Donghua Martial Arts University.
In response to Zhou Yuanjue's summons, the strongest Martial Artists from across the country, all below the realm of Saint Awakening, began to gather.
The list of candidates had been provided by the Secret Inspection Bureau.
There were twenty-five people in total, all of them standing at the absolute peak below Saint Awakening, with no path forward.
The majority of them were masters who had placed in the North-South Grand Martial Arts Convention back in the day, making them contemporaries of Zhou Yuanjue.
Despite their talent and mental fortitude, a great many of them remained trapped below Saint Awakening, unable to achieve a breakthrough. This showed just how difficult the barrier to Saint Awakening truly was.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation from the Secret Inspection Bureau, despite knowing the risks, every single one of them accepted. They rushed to Shangjing without a moment's delay.
