章 604: It Filled Her With Determination - I

The first round of the selection tournament concluded swiftly, and one hundred and fifty extraordinary beings from across the Western Lands stood out, ready to advance to the next stage of the competition. 

Among these one hundred and fifty, only the final fifteen could secure a position to join the Whistling Legion. By this stage, however, joining the Whistling Legion had become secondary; what truly mattered was the extent of the individual's prowess displayed and the reputation they carved out during the competition.

Remarkably, among these one hundred and fifty contenders, there were three fourth-stage extraordinary beings of the scepter level. This was highly unusual, as fourth-stage extraordinary beings typically did not need such competitions to make a name for themselves; they were often already renowned powerhouses. Their participation in this tournament seemed almost unfair.
