Half a month had quickly passed, and four fighting platforms were once again set up on the expansive Bamboo Square.
Today was the qualification selection day for the martial arts tournament. All registered disciples would compete here for four spots to represent Bamboo Island's Bamboo Sect at the Six Islands Conference on Wild Dragon Island two and a half months later.
Given the significance of this event, Gilbert More, the head of the Bamboo Sect, paid great attention, arriving early at the square with Michael to check the list of registered disciples, fearing that some with notable cultivation might not have signed up.
"Elder Michael, do you think this time our Bamboo Island might break the curse and have someone enter the top eight of the Six Island Conference?"
Both stood quietly beside the chairman's stand as Gilbert More expressed his concerns.
