The Pill Saints are already seated in a VIP room overlooking the competition that was about to begin.
Under normal circumstances, they only come for the Pill Concoction trials, but today, there is someone there they want to keep their eyes on.
Kent is a target they all want to exploit, so they will take advantage of any opportunity to get familiar with him.
Kent had already shown remarkable prowess and wealth, and as such, he is their target.
But that can wait; the competition has just started.
"The first trial will test your spiritual strength to ensure you meet the minimum requirement," the elder said.
"In the previous competition, you were only required to reach the green mark of the Soul Pillar, but this time around, you will be required to be at the peak of it, which will make you qualified.
