"Only one? The turn out this year is disappointing," one of the elders scoffed.
It looks like they were hoping to have more branded and anyone that got successfully branded was whisked away.
As for Victor? Nothing...
But Elder Qin Mu watched him more closely this time.
Not knowing he had the mark on his back and Victor was not about to reveal it either. It didn't seem like something that would give him freedom to move around like he needed to.
As they were being dismissed, Bai Heng nudged Victor.
"Damn, that was intense. What did you see in there?"
Victor smirked lightly. "Nothing much. Just old dust and silence."
Bai Heng shrugged. "Same. But someone said that chick Yu Wen got a mark. Lucky her."
Victor nodded absently as his mind swirled with curiosity. The Shadow Flame Mark… why had it appeared? And what was the "Forgotten Legacy"? It wasn't mentioned by any of the elders.
