After Aoto and Niitsuma Kan assumed their stances to confront each other, nearly all the spectators who realized that the winner would be determined by the next strike watched the arena with solemn expressions, their eyes fixed without blinking.
Especially for the Shiwei Hall group, a tinge of tension showed on their faces.
Just moments ago, when seeing Aoto make such remarkable progress in such a short time, Chiba Eijiro also wore a slightly surprised expression.
Upon seeing the two in the arena take different stances and raise their swords at each other, Chiba Eijiro, like the others, transitioned from astonishment to solemnity on his face.
Since yesterday, Aoto has given Chiba Eijiro many surprises.
At this moment, Chiba Eijiro couldn't help but concentrate, feel curious, and anticipate whether this young man, only 9 years his junior, could bring him any more surprises.
An instant is very brief, just long enough for a person to blink.
