Three days passed in a blink.
The Captial city's atmosphere grew heated with anticipation. Taverns buzzed with debates over who would take the crown.
Despite the competition coming to a close, it was still pretty unknown who could really take the crown.
On the morning of the Fifth Round, the arena was packed to the brim—roaring like a sea of voices, eager for the battles ahead.
The Quarterfinals were about to begin.
Of the countless participants who entered the competition, only eight remained.
Each one was either a famed genius or someone who had shocked the world during the earlier rounds.
The referee stepped onto the stage once more, his voice amplified by Qi.
"Today—the Fifth Round begins! From this point forward, each victory brings you closer to the title of the Desolate Heaven Empire's greatest talent. Eight enter—only four shall remain!"
The crowd erupted, chants of names echoing through the air.
Most of them weren't excited for the Fifth Round, though.
