The sixth round of arena battles was the true main event, the part that all the factions and examinees had been eagerly awaiting.
This was the only round where the contestants would fight for real.
In literature, there is no absolute first; in martial arts, there is no second place.
Only after a few rounds in the training grounds would it become clear who truly possessed real skill.
...
The training ground was vast, divided into over a dozen areas.
The examinees who had already been eliminated could watch the battles from distant pavilions. Seeing the contestants take the stage, a wave of excitement passed through them.
In past years, the Three Great Sects would fight tooth and nail during this round for the honor of the top three places.
This year, the competition was even fiercer. Rumor had it that both the Demon Sect's Saint Heir and the Buddhist Sect's young monk were in attendance.
