*Crack*

Another branch broke under Hao Xuan's feet. They had been walking through the foggy hills for about 10 minutes straight. The visibility was horrible and he could only see about 3 meters ahead. There was no other sound around them, not wind, not a single bug, nothing.

It was an eerie kind of silence.

"How much further is it?" Hao Xuan inquired.

Ryfon stopped and looked around. He broke off a leaf from a nearby tree and examined it carefully before throwing it away.

"Just a couple of minutes," he said before continuing.

With a sigh, Hao Xuan also followed after with heavy steps but Ryfon spoke up again not long after.

"We can talk about something if you're bored."

Hao Xuan wasn't really in a mood to chit chat but he still wanted to know a few things in detail so he decided to accept the offer.

"The tournament then. Tell me the details. Cornelia told me the history and gave a rough overview so just tell me exact details. What should I expect?"
