After the envoy reached the end of the corridor and finished recording their choices, he turned around and said, "I've recorded all your choices and sent them off. Now, follow me."
Lu Yan'an and the others followed him out of the corridor and continued farther inside.
A moment later, they arrived at an open training ground in the City Lord Mansion. It stretched dozens of kilometers in every direction, and a thousand people had gathered there.
The envoy stood at the front and said, "There are fifty-two Chaos Stele comprehension chambers. Twenty are occupied, and the other thirty-two are empty."
"I'll now announce the names of those thirty-two Chaos Steles. Anyone who chose one of them should go directly to the entrance on the far left. You'll be assigned a chamber."
"As for the Chaos Steles that are currently occupied, don't worry. You'll be able to study them within seven days at most. Wait for my notice!"
"Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele, Void Gold Chaos Stele, Universe Chaos Stele... Giant Axe Chaos Stele. Whew, you young ones are really lucky. The Giant Axe Chaos Stele, the most popular among the different schools, is actually empty right now!"
After expressing his amazement, the Reception Envoy pointed toward the entrance at the far left end of the training ground. "Go on over."
At once, more than seven hundred of the thousand young people turned into streaks of light and departed. Lu Yan'an was among the lucky ones: the Darkness Chaos Stele was also unoccupied.
They proceeded along a corridor about sixty meters wide and a hundred and twenty meters tall. On either side stood one towering bronze door after another, each engraved with ancient characters.
"Mother Ancestor," "Void Gold," "Universe"...
"There are fifty-two doors here, each leading to a Chaos Stele chamber,"
