With the tournament approaching, Xizhou City was enveloped in an atmosphere of unprecedented excitement. Cultivators from all walks of life converged on the grand arena, the air thick with tension and anticipation. In the center of the venue stood a towering platform constructed from rare spiritual stones, shimmering with a faint glow of spiritual energy.
A respected elder of the organizing committee stood on the high platform. His voice boomed like a bell as he announced the rules: "Everyone, this tournament is designed to select the most outstanding cultivator in Xizhou. The rules are simple: one-on-one combat, winner advances, loser is eliminated, until the final champion is determined. Remember, this is a stage for strength and a proving ground for the will. I hope you will all give it your best and leave no regrets."
As the elder finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the arena. Haofeng, Limo, and Chen Yuxuan stepped into the venue, their presence immediately drawing many gazes.
