The fervent atmosphere continued to ferment.
Jiang Chen felt this enthusiasm, but his mind grew increasingly calm, unaffected by the feverish atmosphere around him.
He followed only his own heart, acting at his own pace.
He joined the selection not for the benefits it promised. What are the two million Spirit Stones in wages, or the tribute title, to him?
For Jiang Chen, these were but passing clouds.
His sole aim was to get closer to the city lord's mansion, to grasp more core information, in preparation for his escape from Dongyan Island.
Other matters held neither his interest nor desire for unnecessary involvement.
After an endless wait, the day of the selection finally arrived.
The selection area of the city lord's mansion was an expansive open field.
At this moment, the field was already crowded with a sea of people, those participating in the selection and many more who came to watch the excitement.
