Dai Youheng straightened his robes and stepped into the bustling streets of Star Luo City.
The sunlight was just right, and the streets teemed with people. Everywhere, he could hear discussions of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. People excitedly talked about the spectacular matches, powerful soul skills, and young prodigies whose fame was soaring.
