The curator sneered as he slot in Ku Jian's card . Two names appeared next to hers . At this, she frowned .
"How many times can I fight in a day?" she asked . The curator could clearly see that she was not satisfied with the outcome .
"Girl, I know it's normal for people to be hot blooded, but you must not be rash . " he said .
"How many times?" she asked impatiently .
"There is no limit . " he answered .
"Schedule me to fight ten people . Let the tower choose . " she said and the curator paused .
"Even if you want to do as him, shouldn't you have much more care for your life?" someone asked from behind them .
"Who cares? I will not be behind!" she said . Many thought she wanted to fight equal numbers as Ed because she admired him . But they did not understand that Ku Jian's greatest fear is Ed leaving her behind . She must never lag behind or he will climb the tower without her . That was a fact she was sure about .
The three took their seats and waited their turn . Ed tilted his head back and closed his eyes . He tried to feel that familiar light from before . In fact, he had always kept his attention on the light . This time though, he wished to trace where it was coming from . Sure enough, it was in the tower . But he just could not tell where .
Ku Jian stared intently at him as he did so . She watched his every move as though wanting to find out what he was thinking . Her actions were caught by Nti Anem, who found Ku Jian's obsession with Ed unsettling . With this girl clinging to him like a parasite, they may not move as fast as they should . Especially when he was not sure why Ed indulged her, he did not know when she lags behind, if Ed will wait for her .
Those sitting around were entrapped by Ku Jian's beauty; the men, more than the women . Yet none of them came up to start a conversation as they were all waiting to be called up to fight .
Ed had not opened his eyes, or he would have notice Jia Lin enter the hall with some heaven sect disciples .
Jia Lin did not pause when he saw Ed . He only glanced at him and moved on . Still, Nti Anem caught the look in his eyes and smiled . It looks like we will not need to work hard to find this boy enemies, he thought .
Jia Lin and the rest handed in their cards to the curator and some picked opponents, while others let the tower choose . As all five of them stood in front of the curator, one of them caught Ed's name on the board .
"What kind of situation is this, Curator? Someone can fight this many people? Usually this is reserved for the top ten . Still, they never fight this many people . " one of them asked .
"Yes, even looking at the names, most for it were picked at random . What kind of situation is this? Why haven't we heard of it?" another asked .
"You haven't heard of it . It is abnormal . The challenger is a rankless fighter . " the curator said impatiently . He suddenly felt that he should push up Ed's fight . Or else, for everybody that comes here, he would have to waste saliva and explain this phenomenon . At his words, he nodded towards the direction of Ed's group in irritation .
"The one sleeping is a rankless fighter . Don't ask any more useless questions!" he said and the heaven sect disciples turned to look in Ed's direction .
"It's him again . " one said .
"He is an anomaly back home, should one be shocked he is even odder here?" someone else said .
"Right! I should stop being shocked . "
"True . I for one think that there is something inhuman about him . " the only girl amongst them said . Jia Lin looked at Ed's sleeping form and frowned . He did not like the feeling rushing through his body when he saw Ed . This was someone he had rejected entrance into the emperor sage academy . Even if he ended up doing well, not to the point of becoming a person he can only look at from a far .
"Your fight is up, rankless . " the curator told Ed . Those that had been there before Ed frowned at this, but seeing the irritation in the curator's eyes, they refrained from complaining .
Ed got up and looked to where the curator was pointing . A young man just walked through the doorway looking tired and bloody . Behind him, tower guards were carrying a half dead woman . Seeing her covered in blood, no one cared . Their eyes only followed Ed's form walking through the door way .
"Your opponents have been informed . They should already be in the crowd . Follow the referee's instruction . " the curator said and Ed passed through the doorway .
After his back disappeared from view, the fighters all scrambled out to watch his fight, to the dismay of the one who had fought last . Even Jia Lin was interested .
"Come . Let me see with my own eyes how he fights . " he said and followed the excited crowd out .
