"You are listening right? Come out they wanna meet you." With arms crossed Zhi Ruo leaned back, as she said aloud.   There was silence before a person appeared next to Zhi Ruo, the kelpie like hair was the first thing that the people in the room noticed. Next was the towering figure, and then the blank eyes.   To say that the eyes of the room didn't go to Tiān Dì the moment Zhōngguó leaned in towards Zhi Ruo's wasn't noticable, was an understatement, even if someone wasn't trying to notice it they will have no choice but to notice it.   There was an uncanny resemblance on how Zhōngguó dressed chose to dress himself, with the librarian that was starting to get annoyed by the gazes that he was receiving. It was apparent on Tiān Dì's twitching brows that he did not like the fact that he was being gazed at oddly.

Amidst the laughter of the grandfather and granddaughter duo, the rest of the people in the room went as far to ask Zhōngguó as to what 'growers' mean. The poor phantom projection had to explain to the confused lot, with blank eyes and a helpless smile on his lips.   Patriarch Ye was far too busy gushing over Zhi Ruo's weapons, that he forgot to ask about how Zhi Ruo got the weapons.   Though it seems like Kohaku did not forget.   "I get that these are very rare treasures and all, but how did young miss manage to aquire these?" By these, Kohaku meant Zhōngguó and the wraith devourers.   Instead of answering, Zhi Ruo called back her wraith devourers and puckered her lips behind her mask.    "Ah, about that." Zhi Ruo nonchalantly shrug

Zhi Ruo awoke with a start, a loud noise was blaring all throughout the entire Sighted Valley. She reached for a mask on her nightstand, standing up with haste. Her eyes moved to survey the room and found Ravel slipping inside and handing her Zhōngguó.   Outside her room door, there was countless footsteps clicking through.    The young miss was quick to identify that those footsteps were her servant's.    "What time is it?" Zhi Ruo asked after she fastened Zhōngguó over her shoulders securely. She turned her head towards Ravel who was silently helping her with her robes.   "It's around 10 in the evening master." Came in Ravel's response. "2 hours and the tournament first phase starts." Ravel patted the young miss's robes and went to the window to open it. 

Midnight struck, catching all of the participants off guard when the loud sounds that came from the dome suddenly stopped.    The dome in question faded from the sight of all contestants participating.    The first phase has officially ended and began.    All challengers stood up, and leaped inside the platform, as if coming to a conclusion. Zhi Ruo followed the crowd's will and she ended up standing at the middle of the platform. People gathered around her as if waiting for something.   The people didn't have to wait long, because there were figures approaching the gigantic platform.    Zhi Ruo saw the familiar figures, and snorted. The 7 feet man beside her looked down as if hearing something weird. Zhi Ruo ignored the person and

Kohaku shuffled the cards on his hands, his actions was well practiced that Zhi Ruo had entertained the idea that her senior brother was a magician playing tricks in the streets his past life.   There was a pause, and Ye Kohaku finally pulled out a card. And the crowd awaited with bated breath.   The card that was pulled out had a red seven character written on it.   And a gasp immediately followed soon after, it was soon revealed that the gasp came out from a girl. She looked like a cute bunny with her droopy eyes as she looked at the card on Kohaku's hands and the card on her hand.   "Please proceed to the arena." Ye Qing Qing could not help but sound impatient.    Red seven card group made their way up to the platform and the battle started as
