The sound of the hourglass in the room was very faint; you couldn't hear it at all unless you listened closely.
This was especially true when the three people sitting cross-legged in the room started to speak.
A shroud of mist enveloped all three of them.
Two were situated at the front, with only Jiang Man sitting off to the side in a corner.
Out of curiosity about Jiang Man's presence, the man at the front turned his head and initiated a conversation.
Hearing the man's question, Jiang Man just looked at him without responding.
'Am I considered number one right now?'
'Not by rank, but my actual score is.'
But before Jiang Man could reply, the other man nodded and said, "So arrogant. You must be number one, no doubt about it."
Jiang Man looked at him in silence, offering no explanation.
'It's not wrong to call me number one, though.'
"How long do you plan to take to comprehend the Five Elements Combined?" the man asked again.
