Wu Dao's words left Lin Ke taken aback.
He could not help asking, "According to the trial rules, aren't Heaven's Chosen forbidden from attacking one another? Who could have injured you, Brother Wu?"
Wu Dao waved a hand helplessly. "Strictly speaking, they weren't people."
"They were a few Heaven's Chosen arranged by the Imperial Clan, but they had long since lost all signs of life. All that remained were bodies that could move."
"I ran into them this morning. At first, I thought they were people and didn't want to bother with them. Who would have thought those fellows would bare their teeth and claws and pounce on me?"
