Lu Yuan sat upright in his tent, perfectly positioned to see the group of generals at the entrance to the Training Ground.
The general leading the group, who had a Treasure Sword at his waist, carried himself with an extraordinary air. He strode into the Golden Tent to have an audience with the Emperor.
Five generals followed behind him. They carried no weapons but were all clad in Armor.
Four of the generals took up positions outside the Golden Tent, while one rather handsome general walked toward the tent where Lu Yuan was.
Lu Yuan saw him and realized the long-awaited fifth contestant had finally appeared.
Inside the Golden Tent, the Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace, and the Grand Elder of Le Shen Temple had arrived long ago.
As soon as he entered the Golden Tent, the general with the Treasure Sword at his waist knelt before the Emperor.
The Emperor raised a hand and said, "Marquis Yongchang, there is no need for such formalities!"
