The gray stele is only about half a meter high, placed inconspicuously not far from the steps of the main hall.
Guding passed through the Battle Hall and followed the cobblestone path until he reached the main hall after just a few kilometers.
He also discovered the stele mentioned by the Residence Spirit; at first glance, it seemed nothing special.
"Comprehending this stele has a time limit. As the master said when he was alive, if there are no clues in over a month, there's basically no hope. However, to prevent missing a good inheritor, he made the timeframe slightly more generous. Three months, and if you still can't decipher the real content of the stele, you'll fail the assessment. I'll transport you out, but your two trapped friends will have to stay behind."
The voice of the Residence Spirit sounded again.
Yet Guding seemed not to hear him, his eyes fixated on the stele.
