A blinding flash of light swept past, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already in an enclosed yet incomparably vast Space.
This was not some ancient stone building, but a gigantic cube of Energy Barriers, floating in the void.
Above the Space, a virtual ranking list condensed from energy was suspended in midair.

They were all geniuses carefully nurtured by the Divine Fox Clan, and perhaps had received some advance instructions; thus no one showed panic or confusion on their faces.
Each person carefully sized up this Space while secretly observing the contestants around them, judging each other's strength.
