gracefully he stood there like a poem
silently poised at the center of a
painting giangi and Tang Yin both quick
and agile surpassed many others and
reached the palace entrance ahead of the
crowd giangi maintained a discreet
distance to scan the white-haired man he
was not the master of Melody noticing
that the others remained inactive gon G
and Tang Yin joined the line the
individuals in front were halted the man
leaning against the wall with his eyes
still shut as the crowd grew larger the
noise escalated causing his brow to
Furrow involuntarily when the time felt
right he slowly opened his eyes
surveying the throng of over a 100
individuals and rubbed his temples just
as he was about to speak a discordant
male voice broke through the crowd
exclaiming what is going on are We
selecting or not can we speed this up
this Outburst prompted a wave of
complaints from others echoing
Sentiments of impatience the
white-haired man's brow furrowed deeper
as he gestured with both hands parting
the crowd and creating a path down the
center a man stood awkwardly in the
middle clearly at a loss the
white-haired man's Aura was formidable
and Gian G instinctively reacted pulling
Tang Yin away just in time to avoid a
potential tumble Tang Yin looked at Gian
XI with gratitude and they both silently
observed the unfolding situation the
white-haired man his expression
unyielding addressed the rockus
individual are you impatient the man in
the center glancing nervously around
stammered I didn't te he thought he
could hide among the crowd having
engaged in such Antics before but never
expected to be singled out this time the
white-haired man replied coldly your
voice cannot be concealed the man
trembled at the chilling response
falling silent you have been eliminated
the white-haired man waved his right
hand and the man vanished from sight the
crowd collectively hoped he would be
teleported back to his original Island
his fear stemmed from a desire to avoid
angering the NPC Whispers began
circulating among the remaining
individuals prompted the white-haired
man to speak again those who are
eliminated due to natural causes will be
returned to the places from when you
came but those who violate the rules of
me Island will face punishment and only
after serving their sentence will they
be returned upon hearing this gasps of
astonishment rippled through the crowd
and many who had merely come to observe
began to turn away and descend the
mountain it was still not too late to
withdraw who could predict what
penalties awaited those who broke the
rules once the indecisive had departed
those remaining were Resolute in their
desire to participate in the selection
for the disciple of the master of Melody
out of over 400 registrants only about
200 had come to participate and now with
so many having left merely 150 remained
the white-haired man appeared unfazed
and nodded thank you for your patience

numbers before long everyone received a
Green Bamboo slip bearing their
respective numbers Gian G was a sign

closely behind with number 19 every 30
individuals were grouped together and
Gian G was soon ushered into the palace
with the first group The white-haired
Man LED them to the entrance where a
purple Vortex materialized clearly
another teleportation portal he gestured
for them to enter and one by one the 30
individuals stepped through the portal

boundless space surrounded by Darkness
illuminated only where people were
present Point 30 seats were arranged in
a 56 pattern the white-haired man
followed them into the space and
announced please take your seats
