In the heart of the ruins, remnants of the once-majestic Red Sky Sect, disciples gathered in a cluster of curious faces.
They were gathered together and stood before an elevated platform.
"What does this mean?"
"I don't know."
"Don't tell me Prince Arthur cleared all the challenges."
"How is that possible? Even Karuq only reached the fifth level in the challenge before he was defeated."
"Yeah, and Karuq has entered the Half-step Martial Emperor Realm and has begun to build his foundation and has already achieved a two-star foundation."
"But if that is the case then why does he get to stand there with the guardian?"
Whispers flitted through the air like restless spirits as they eyed Arthur, the central figure in this unfolding drama.
The guardian, a stoic figure in his imposing robe, stood next to Arthur.
His announcement rippled through the assembly, echoing off the ancient walls.
