The red haired man, leading the group inside the place, looks down on everyone as if we are all but a bunch of ants hurdling together to appear stronger. His sharp green eyes penetrating deep into our souls. After a moment, he smirks. That terrifying look gives off a chill to the onlookers.

He says something to the blonde standing beside him and then reclines to a chair. The blonde man walks forward and starts announcing the result.

[Host, the necromancer has been admitted to spiritual hall.]

'It's strange. In the novel, he went to the silver hall...',I stand there going through my memory of the novel. Did I miss anything?

[Host, the protagonist was called to the silver hall.]

'Hateful ! What is happening here? They are both separated and this sadist (I mean the red haired man) has arrived so soon. I don't remember him being mentioned before the protagonist entered the star hall.

"Xu Zhu, Sand hall!!",comes a voice and I freeze for a second.

'What is this? System!!',i shout through my mind at my guide as I stand there grinding my teeth.

[Host. I think I must leave to inquire about this.]

'No way I am staying alone in here.'

[ Host you can't always be dependent on me. And don't you wanna know what went wrong?]

'Geez ... Just leave. Be as fast as possible.', I grumble. I am a little afraid. Goddamn system. I am in a new place and oh so wonderful is the fact that I am so powerless while there's something wrong with this world. Instead of dawlding, I rush to the sand hall. I don't wanna be targeted for being lazy.

Entering the hall, I see a mob of participants chatting. Sand hall is like a static place. It takes in all the average people. Those who can afford generally turn to other sects. Those left are generally those who have no other place to go. Limited future. The mob characters. These people were not even mentioned in the novel. Dejected, I go over to find myself a seat . I can't stay here. If I stay here, I will turn bald before I meet the protagonist or Caihong. I sulk waiting for the system.

Wang Ai, the red haired man stares at the participants with lazy but alert eyes. His demour is more like a sly cat. The blonde who has just now finished announcing the result comes to him.

"Elder brother...",he speaks hesitatingly. He knows that this man hates being interrupted between his observing session but he still have to inform him that the job is done.

"Let's return. This year's spiritual hall sure has good candidates.", He lazily drawls while walking out .
