"Welcome to the Hall of Heroes. First trial, intermediate difficulty. Trial participant: Jing Shaoyu, age: ten."
"Trial requirement: First stage, hold out for thirty seconds."
A surprised expression appeared on Jing Shaoyu's face. Then, a figure emerged before him—a handsome and refined young man with deep blue hair and a lazy smile. Jing Shaoyu immediately recognized who he was.
