He had not rested for too long.
He rubbed his face and said to the half statue,
"Does the designated combat opponent have to be a Disciple participating in this trial?"
"Anyone who enters the trial can be chosen," the half statue replied.
"What about those who have been eliminated?"
"They can also be chosen."
"I designate Chu Manshu as my opponent!" Shen Ye declared.
"...Won't that be rather shameless?" asked the half statue.
"What is shame?" Shen Ye inquired.
Silence followed.
Xiao Mengyu, standing to his left, looked outside.
Xu Xingke, standing to his right, nodded in approval.
"The designation is successful. The trial will now begin," announced the half statue.
The void flashed.
The lovely Taoist Palace Female Disciple, Chu Manshu, appeared again.
Shen Ye was about to say a few polite words but saw the void open once more.
A figure silently descended.
