Outside the arena, a sea of people bustled.
The top fifty showdown was about to commence.
On this day, twenty-five would be eliminated, and the top twenty-five would be selected.
As time passed, the contestants arrived one after another, with the media swarming forward.
When Xu Mo arrived, he was immediately surrounded by journalists.
"Xu Mo, what do you think about securing the top spot in the rankings, or do you feel ashamed?" one reporter's words were particularly sharp.
"Why should I feel ashamed for winning on merit?" Xu Mo retorted.
The crowd erupted into a commotion, with loud boos and screams echoing around, and as the Transcendents Tournament progressed, Xu Mo's supporters grew in numbers.
Xu Mo was still that Xu Mo, flamboyant and arrogant as ever.
Indeed, if it's won on merit, why feel ashamed?
