Other battles took place before Kyrian's name was called.
The arena vibrated with intense confrontations. Blade techniques collided, explosions of Qi shook the ground, and two cultivators in the Core Formation Realm exchanged blows until one of them was thrown against the wall of the arena, defeated.
The audience was excited. The level of the fights had been rising with each passing day.
But even so, the atmosphere seemed to hold a different kind of expectation.
Everyone was waiting for a specific fight. When Elder Tian returned to the center of the arena, the murmuring intensified.
He raised his hand, and the Coliseum gradually fell silent.
"Next challenge."
His gaze swept across the stands before settling on the now familiar figure.
"Kyrian. Rank 37 of the Coliseum, against Mu Liu, Rank 21 of the Coliseum."
The name echoed with weight.
