In an unnamed city, two young men in suits walked into a coffee shop and ordered two cups of coffee before taking their seats.
"Finally, we've finished the task Master gave us," one of the youths said as he pulled out a laptop and logged onto a website, only to freeze in place.
"What's wrong, senior brother?" asked the youth sitting opposite him.
The youth facing the computer remained stunned for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, "What the heck is this King's List?"
"Let me take a look," said the other youth, moving to sit beside him.
A golden banner had appeared on the underground forum, with only four words written on it: 'Path of the King.'
When the youth clicked on it, he saw a list with only ten names. The name in the tenth position was dimmed, while the others shone with a golden light.
The last person's name was Ning Xuan, ranked tenth on the King's List.
The second-to-last name caught the eyes of both youths—Lin Tanyu.
"Who is this Lin Tanyu?"
