The Second Round, Part I

Unlike the previous day, the Kěnéng Arena was packed with people. Zhou Lihua stood beside her master and Wu Jian in the Alchemist Association’s VIP booth. All the other participants were present with their masters too, including Lili Ling and Wei Xiao. Their masters were currently arguing, hiding their rancor behind polite words and forced smiles.

Zhou Lihua could not tell how many people were present, but she had read that the Kěnéng Arena could seat up to one hundred thousand, and it looked like they had a full house. Even the emperor was present with his two sons and several wives. They were in their own private booth.

Seeing so many people made her already shot nerves even more unbearable. She took several deep breaths and tried to empty her mind as Sao Yong stepped forward.
