"It seems all the nations came well-prepared for this Floating Light Assembly."
President Zhu Tianlan of the Celestial Gold Kingdom stared down at the contestants, his expression grim.
The Celestial Gold Kingdom had always been the leader of the Thirteen Nations Alliance, and he himself was known as the number one Soul Refiner in the alliance. In past Floating Light Assemblies, his Celestial Gold Kingdom had always been unrivaled. This year's assembly, however, had completely exceeded his expectations.
He couldn't exactly say that his Celestial Gold Kingdom had gotten weaker. After all, their own Xia Qixi had broken through to the Third Grade before the age of twenty-five, making her even more outstanding than he had been at her age. And yet, even with such talent, she had only managed to place fourth in the first round. This was a result he never would have imagined before the competition began.
At the same time, his attention frequently drifted to Luan Hong and the others.
