"Huh?"
The Fifth Prince looked over the applicants' information, and a trace of astonishment immediately appeared on his face.
According to the Shadow Puppets' intelligence, these thirty people seemed to have received the news in advance. Moreover, the thirty of them had almost nothing in common. There were all kinds of people among them.
There were geniuses from foreign races, top scions of prestigious clans, and some obvious natives born outside any clan.
There was a little of everything, which immediately darkened the Fifth Prince's expression.
At first glance, something seemed wrong. Five direct descendants of top prestigious clans were mixed in among them. Though they were not the pillars of their clans, they all seemed to possess extraordinary talent as Divine Craftsmen.
If those clans had reached some agreement with the Sorisson Clan, it was not impossible. After all, although the Sorisson Clan had recovered somewhat under Bode's leadership, it had fallen behind for so many years that it was difficult to say whether it could return to its former position in a short time.
Using his status to teach outstanding direct descendants and thereby establish some mutually beneficial cooperation was not impossible.
Could it really be a coincidence?
The Fifth Prince's expression turned gloomy. After pondering for a few seconds, he rose directly and said, "Let's go!"
"Your Highness, where are we going?" the puppet asked, tilting its head.
"Let's go have a look."--
By the time the Fifth Prince arrived at the testing grounds, quite a crowd had already gathered. They had all come after receiving the news to watch the excitement. After all, Bode's return was a major event. Not only had some upper-year students come out of curiosity, but several instructors who had no classes had also hurried over to see what was going on.
