The morning sun bathed the peaks of the Kulu Capital in a soft, golden glow.
Kent stood outside the Combat Peak Hall, his spirit ring packed with everything he needed. His black robe fluttered in the fresh breeze, and his heart raced with excitement and anticipation. Today, his journey toward the Golden Heir Tournament truly began.
Standing ahead, Master Lei Zhen, tall and imposing with his hands behind his back, was already waiting.
Beside him, two young figures stood silently—a beautiful young woman in light armor and a cold-looking boy with sword-like eyebrows and a sharp gaze.
As Kent approached, Master Lei Zhen gave a small nod of approval.
"Good. You are here," Master Lei Zhen said, his deep voice carrying easily through the air.
He looked at the three of them, his eyes stern and commanding.
"Listen carefully," Lei Zhen said. "I am taking you three to the Immortal Living Pool. There, you will be tested along with another 1800 disciples from all over Kulu Nation."
