Chapter 104
“What!?”
General Fuhai’s words made everyone’s hearts skip a beat. How could they have failed to notice someone’s presence so close by? The area they had descended upon wasn’t large— if anyone had been nearby, they should have sensed them immediately. They were all Chosens of the Graha race, born and raised in the Upper World, each extraordinary in their own right. And yet, the moment they set foot in the Lower World, they were caught off guard and reprimanded by the General.
But they couldn’t complain.
Being unable to sense your opponent could be the difference between life and death.
They were careless. Upon realizing their oversight, they composed themselves and became serious.
General Fuhai eyed the Chosens in front of him carefully, inwardly shaking his head as he did so. As one of the five generals in command of the Graha army, he had seen better discipline from his soldiers than from these Chosen. While they might have the advantage of talent, arrogance stained their hearts. Fortunately, there was still room for them to learn. Every Chosen could potentially one day become the pillar of the race therefore it was important to carefully nurture them.
“Complacency is a road onward to death,” he lectured sternly. “Many of you are holding prejudice against the Lower World, but need I remind you of what happened to the Celestial race?”
“The Celestials…” The mood dropped as every Graha present remembered the events that happened not so long ago. The shocking news that one of the four supreme races was defeated in the Lower World and not a single one of their Chosens returned from their conquest.
This caused a major commotion in the Upper World, mainly because in that group of Chosens who descended, there were Shen Yu and Shen Ling— two extremely important figures.
