Bab 726: 726. Tension

"The portal can't sustain the passage of too many powerful cultivators." Elder Julia explained as the groups gathered at the center of the region. "Each force can only send one rank 5 cultivator and ten cultivators in the fourth rank at the time."

"Is there any restriction on the stage of the cultivators?" Noah asked.

The possibility to form equal teams was intriguing, but the big nations could exploit the variety of their assets and deploy their best warriors. Instead, the Hive would have to restrain itself in that aspect to prioritize the defenses of its domains.

"Six in the gaseous stage, three in the liquid stage, and one in the solid stage." Elder Julia replied. "The rank 5 cultivator must be in the gaseous stage too."

Excited gasps resounded among the elders of the Hive after her words. Noah felt a series of gazes landing on him, but he ignored them even if he had understood the reason behind their excitement.
