Many of them were likely not even from Panze Town, but had come from neighboring towns out of admiration to participate in the selection. Even though the probability of someone with a spirit root being chosen was less than one in a thousand, the sheer size of the base was massive.
When Li Dai and the others squeezed into the center of the crowd, they were instantly swallowed up, looking completely inconspicuous.
