"This A'Jiu is incredible indeed. As expected of the Unrivaled King."
Everyone came from the Four Great Life Starfields. They had all heard of A'Jiu's reputation, and A'Jiu and the others likewise knew of theirs. For example, Lu Hu came from Tiger Soul Star in the White Tiger Starfield and had ranked eighth on the previous Celestial King Rankings.

"Then just break through to the fifth floor."
