"In the battle between Qin Chu, the Valley countries perished. People at the time said: The remnants of the small countries are as insignificant as the grass on the plains." (Jing Shu · World Chapter)
Dan Country found itself in such an awkward position, relatively speaking, it was closer to Qin Country, and thus under greater threat from it. Ever since Chu Country's grave defeat, the situation became even more delicate.
Xiao Shu's valiant efforts at the Yellow River Gathering were also driven by Dan Country's strong, demonstrative need. At the same time, it was even more necessary to reach out for resources behind the Gate of All Demons, for in the current world, whether facing Qin or Chu, Dan Country could not extend its hand without it being severed.
Xiao Shu, worthy of his prodigious reputation, shone brightly on the Arena.
Among these prodigies who locked in their spots for the main competition, Ye Luzhi of Liao Country needs special mention.
