As impressed as everyone might be, the contest had to go forward.
"Next! Sansa Sil, Soul Guild, come forward!"
Hearing her name being called, Sansa took a deep breath and moved to the formation. Lukimira Sect had two members in the top three, and one of them was already guaranteed the third position at the very least. She was basically the only one other than the Lukimira Sect that could get the Divine Vein.
In the elders' room, both the Cosec City Soul Guild Branch Leader and Kayla felt nervous. Kayla needed the Divine Vein for her sect. Naturally, she didn't expect it to come from a side-occupation competition. Then again, that was because humans weren't known for having talent in Soul Power. As for the Guild Leader, that had a lot more to do with the Soul Guild's pride. His guild hadn't lost the Soul Power competition in the last ten assemblies.
Back in the contest...
"Start!"
*Shatter!*
