The populace began to gather at the city square where the banners that stretch across the city convene. The wide square of the city was bustling with many people and both beasts and people gathered to witness the start of the Ten Year Bout.
In the middle of the square, there was an open space where only a select few could enter. At the moment, there were seven people inside. Most of the youths inside were people who are referred to as monstrous geniuses.
The space they were in was a five hundred-meter space where an array set up around them that functions as a filter for the contestants and bystanders. The only people who could enter the said array were the ones who had a jade stick in their possession.
Dun, Dun, Du-Dun, Du-Du-Du-Dunnnnnnnn!
The banging of the war drums was getting more and more powerful as the seconds passed. And as the banging of the drums intensified by the second, many more representatives gathered at the square.
