Today was the day the second stage of the tournament would officially begin.
The excitement that had spread throughout Borin City since the previous day had not diminished in the slightest. If anything, it had become even greater.
The first stage had already eliminated countless participants.
Only those who had successfully gathered the required number of pearls had been allowed to advance, and now the survivors were gathered once again within the enormous arena.
The participants arrived one after another.
Some appeared confident.
Others looked serious.
There were also those who remained completely expressionless, quietly observing the people around them and trying to judge their possible opponents.
The various clans and forces that had come to watch the tournament also returned.
The wealthy families took their seats.
The major clans gathered in their designated areas.
