The Scum Is Bookish

Suddenly, Pai Lie appeared before the participants. Before any of them could react, a bright light suddenly flashed, catching them all off-guard.

"AH!" they cried when they felt their eyes stung, shortly becoming blinded thus they didn't see Pai Lie made an array surrounding them. So, they felt there was nothing beneath their feet. Before they could even catch their breaths, they fell. "AAAAAH!!!" they screamed. They were shocked they forgot to board their swords.

"Aiyo. These children are poor in aptitude." Pai Lie shook his head as he watched the participants fall down the array before closing the array.

Zheng Fu Gong and Zheng Yi carried the large Cleansing Stone on the stage and everyone saw the projected images inside the special space Pai Lie sent the participants to.

"It is the Cleansing Stone!" the audience exclaimed when they recognized the Cleansing Stone from the last competition.
