Only after more than half of the food on the table had disappeared did Helen suddenly ask, "You're participating in this year's Heaven Reaching Trial Tower too?"
Zich glanced at her. "How did you know?"
"Someone from the Voss family personally entered the Association headquarters. There was no way to hide it from everyone." Helen continued. "Besides, registration for the remaining thirty three publicly contested slots opens tomorrow. Every eligible young player in the First Layer is talking about it right now."
"I'm planning to compete for one too."
Jayden immediately spoke.
"At your current level, your chances of getting a slot are very high," Zich said and then smiled provocatively. "Do you want to lose a second time?"
Jayden didn't find it offensive. Instead, a competitive light appeared in his eyes. "You wish."
He quickly added, "Even if I can't win, I still want to see just how large the gap is between me and the true geniuses of the First Layer."
