“Isn’t that the case?” Ruby asked, tilting her head in confusion.


    “Sacred Wrym Summit has been around for years without getting involved in martial world matters.


    “Now, they’re suddenly organizing the Combat Tournament. There must be a hidden reason,” Miles exined.


    Organizing talent recruitment to bring honor to the nation might have been fitting for the Martial Arts Union. But with the Sacred Wyrm Summit as the host, it seemed imusible.


    “So, tell me, what’s the hidden reason? ” she asked.


    “How would I know? I’m just a bystander.” He shrugged, well aware of his role.


    “Dalen, since you raised this question, you must have some insider information, right?” Crystal asked.


    Dalen replied, “I don’t have any insider information, but I did manage to gather some news.”


    He added cryptically, “Word is, there’s a rare treasure appearing in the forbidden area behind Sacred Wrym Summit.


    “This treasure doesn’t just impact the destiny of the martial world in the next century. It is also crucial for the fate of our nation.”


    Ruby asked excitedly, “What kind of treasure could be so powerful?”


    Crystal and Miles shared a surprised look, not quite expecting this.


    Whether it was the martial world’s ups and downs or the nation’s fortunes and misfortunes, these were essentialmatters.Dalen lowered his voice and said, “I believe this treasure is rted to the Dracan essence.”


    Dustin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this but quickly returned to his usual demeanor.


    Curious, Ruby asked, “What’s a Dracan essence?”


    With a serious tone, Crystal exined, ” Dracan essence is the core power of the Dracan force.


    “When the Dragon Guard was destroyed some time ago, the subterranean Dracan force transformed into five strands of Dracan essence, scattering across the world.


    “There’s a rumor that whoever gets hold of the Dracan essence is destined for greatness. They will achieve remarkable sess!”


    The Dragon Guard got wiped out, and the Dracan force got isted. It created a bigmotion when this happened, and Crystal naturally got wind of it.


    “Really? Is it that incredible?” Ruby’s eyes widened.


    “I’ve read relevant records in ancient books. Anyone who obtains the Dracan essence bes a powerful sovereign or a king ruling thend,” Crystal exined.


    “Ms. Wesley is right,” Dalen added. ” The Dracan essence is a valuable treasure that can change fate. Even a beggar can rise to the top with it.”


    “Hold on!”


    Miles seemed to have realized something and suddenly said, “If the Dracan essence is the extraordinary treasure hidden in the forbidden area of Sacred Wrym Summit, could this Combat Tournament be about decidingwho gets it?”


    “It’s possible.” Dalen nodded.


    He continued, “Although Sacred Wrym Summit usually stays above worldly matters, the appearance of this treasure is a twist of fate. They can’t go against destiny.


    “Fortunately, they decided to hold a Combat Tournament, allowing us topete for it. Whoever wins will be deemed as chosen by destiny!”


    “Oh, I get it,” the group murmured, looking thoughtful.


    If Dalen were right, this Combat Tournament at Sacred Wrym Summit would be exceptionally intense.


    Rare treasures that could change a person’s fate were hard toe by, and no faction would easily let it slip.


    “Hurry up! There’s a fighting stage ahead. Let’s go check it out!”
