It was a boundless void. Within the circle of light, Jiang Hao checked on himself. He blended with the mist.
He noticed other figures there. Their voices reached his ear.
Jiang Hao could make out three people from the sound of their voices. He knew their names!
The woman who spoke first was known as Gui. The taller individual was Liu and the slender one was Xing.
Jiang Hao was astonished. The three people turned to look at him.
"I apologize for the interruption," he blurted out.
"Jing?" asked Liu, the tall man. He had a deep voice. "Are you new?"
"Having a newcomer at this stage is quite unexpected. Do you know the rules?" asked Xing.
Jiang Hao shook his head. He knew one thing for sure. He was known as "Jing" to these people.
The stone tablet seemed to have given him an identity.
"The first rule is to introduce yourself. Tell us your name and where you're from," said Gui with a teasing smile.
