The Man's Decree

Just as Jared finished, someone caused a commotion in the crowd.

A youth in a white martial-arts outfit and spotting a crew cut strode in with his black leather shoes.

He was being accompanied by Godrick and two Fifth Level Martial Arts Grandmasters.

“I’m surprised to see that Edgar Deragon has come. I thought that he was going to give the Trial a miss this year.”

“Why wouldn’t he? Since it’s being held at the Emperor’s Mausoleum, this place contains the most treasures of all the other Trial locations.”

“Given how young Edgar is, it’s amazing that he is already a Seventh Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.”

In the midst of their gossip, the crowd gradually took turns greeting Edgar.

“Jared, this man, Edgar, is the eldest son of the Deragons. He has always been cultivating with other masters overseas and would only return to participate in the annual Trial. I didn’t expect him to have made such significant improvement, as he was only a Third Level Martial Arts Grandmaster last year. And now, he has leapfrogged to the Seventh Level.”
