People from all the other eight states looked at the one-armed Ye Wuchen. After rounds of battles, the one state that caught the attention of everyone with their mighty ones fielded was surprising, the Barren State.
That was something that no one had expected before. Before the Nine State Forum was held, everyone thought the over 30 who came from the Barren State were little more than accessories to complete the event. Under such rules, all from the Barren State, which everyone thought was only for show, would be eliminated soon. Yet, the Barren State managed to take more than a dozen places after over 30 battles fought, the winners of the remaining 20 or so battles were divided between the other eight states instead.
