Everyone was afraid of each other.
Inside the room.
A young man sat there, using a towel to wipe two scimitars. His movements were slow, his expression calm. His appearance was quite ordinary, blending into any crowd unnoticed.
Yet it was the unremarkable who were the most enduring.
His name was Guo Kai. He had always stayed within the gathering place, keeping a low profile even when Lu Hao was the top Awakener, and quietly retreating even when bullied.
Later, Lu Hao died.
When Ji Qiuyue and her group became the top Awakeners, he remained just as low-key.
It wasn't until Ji Qiuyue and her folks left, leaving behind a slightly Golden Crystal for everyone to fight over, that he realized it was a deliberate trap, hoping they'd kill each other.
But he couldn't resist making a move.
Because he was missing a slightly Golden Crystal, and his abilities had already reached the third stage.
