During the team distribution, favoritism didn't guide Xu Tao's choices—only balance.
The first group set off with Achilles at the lead, trailed by the ever-composed Thierry, the stalwart Shin Gaoshun, a gruff dwarf named Kuhn, and Kaela—a Half-Vampire whose silence spoke volumes.
On the second path marched Jehanne, flanked by the stoic Gervais and the sharp-eyed Qin Zangsheng. With them came Jenna, a dark elf whose magic crackled at her fingertips, and Millicent, a Dryad whose quiet grace belied her power.
Xu Tao took the center path himself, accompanied by Etienne and Tang Weien—Little Wenwen's name while pretending to be a male cultivator. Joining them were Pito, a quick-witted elf girl, and Kiki, a nimble cat beastwoman with claws to match her attitude.
