A golden light descended onto his body, and a prompt appeared in Ryan's vision.
[Congratulations: You've gained 30 Enhancer Points]
After receiving his points, Ryan navigated his way deeper into the forest.
His job was to do his best not to stand out but still win the competition.
After a few minutes, Ryan approached a clearing and spotted six contestants. Their tell-tale tails and horns giving them away as contestants from the dragon race.
Approaching from within the forest, Ryan was about to leave them be, but he overheard something interesting from one of the contestants.
"Has anyone seen those phoenix brats?" One of the brawny youths from the dragon race asked.
"Yeah, I saw them south of here," a dragon youth beside him with distinctive pointy ears and a yellow-tipped tail answered.
"How many?" The brawny youth asked, directing his gaze south.
"Four, they seem to have gathered a few items from the center like us."
May the earth tremble, for the king has returned.
