The preliminary day passed quickly.
On this day, Richard, Nancy, and Raymond fought multiple battles.
There was no need to elaborate on Richard and Nancy's strength—they steadily made it into the so-called quarterfinals. Raymond, although he was greatly fatigued due to the activities of the previous night, didn't perform too poorly in swordsmanship. Clenching his teeth and giving it his all, he ultimately made it into the quarterfinals as well, although his ranking was slightly behind Richard and Nancy.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, the quarterfinals scene.
In the Duel Arena in Kairo City, under the sun's shine, thousands of spectators shouted, creating an extraordinarily lively atmosphere. But in the special VIP seats separated out, the number of people seated was sparse—especially in the central King's seat—its owner wasn't present at all.
