The center of Chuanxing City buzzed with life as a sea of people gathered outside the arena for the Transcendents' grand competition.
Countless individuals had congregated outside the venue, enveloped in a thick atmosphere of excitement.
In the middle was an area fenced off, carving out an exclusive passage through which contestants could enter directly beneath the stadium and subsequently be lifted into the arena via an elevator mechanism.
Spectators lined both sides, while official media representatives could wait within the pathway.
At that moment, a vehicle arrived, and a row of people alighted, heading toward the stadium entrance. Among this group, surprisingly, several were cyborgs.
Although the first round was merely a preliminary selection, passing was no easy feat. In a contest of hundreds, only ten could advance, eliminating the mediocre and leaving only the elite. Even if some had luck on their side, their fortune still rested on a certain level of skill.
