"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

explained.

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 implausible.

"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

essential matters.

Dalen lowered his voice and said, "I believe this treasure is related 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 explained, "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 success!"

The Dragon Guard got wiped out, and the Dracan force got isolated. It created a big commotion 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 becomes a

powerful sovereign or a king ruling the land," Crystal explained.

"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 deciding who 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 to compete 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 to come by, and no faction would easily let

it slip.

"Hurry up! There's a fighting stage ahead. Let's go check it out!"

As they walked, they heard a commotion ahead. They saw a crowd gathering, indicating that

something significant was happening.

"What's all this excitement? Come on, let's go take a look!" Dalen suddenly became interested. He

folded his fan and headed toward the commotion.
