Hundreds of descendants had joined Baoway's tournament, and each got to prove themselves at least once in the arena. The preliminaries, multiple repechages, and final rounds entertained the audience for longer than a month, but everything eventually came to an end.
A tall, lean, black-haired young man faced a shorter, burly, brown-haired young woman at the bottom of the arena. Both contestants were second-level warriors, but their inhumane stamina had still left them exhausted after multiple tight exchanges.
The audience held their breath, inspecting that silent, tense moment with their eyes or through the stages' screens. Clearly, the two contestants only had enough energy to launch one last offensive, and no one wanted to miss the final exchange.
