The contestants' first clash.

In the emperor's meditation room hidden behind a special mountain at the emperor's hot springs....

Yi Wenkui had just regained consciousness and he no felt mentally exhausted although he had managed to get most of the demonic qi in his body. He immediately checked on his pulse to make sure he was okay before he got up and stretched his body. He didn't plan to leave this place until he was completely in control of his martial energy, he didn't want to lose control like before. He called out to the person who had been guarding him all this time. "Stealth!"

In a few seconds, a bodyguard dropped down from the roof on his feet and immediately bowed. "Your Majesty, you are awake."

The emperor sat down while getting used to his body back again after being so stiff for a long while. "Tell me about what has happened in my absence. How is the Hall Master doing?"
