"Swoosh!"
Elder Song Heng reappeared in the skies above the square and the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
"I'm sure everyone is very excited about the sixteenth-to-eighth round after watching yesterday's preliminaries. Those who made it here are the geniuses of East Field County, and making it to the top sixteen means they possess potential beyond ordinary people. To advance to the top eight signifies direct entrance to the Battle Mansion," Elder Song Heng said.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire venue ignited to an unprecedented peak.
The Battle Mansion!
That was the highest institution in East Field County, dedicated to cultivating elite talents. Anyone who entered the Battle Mansion held a status second only to a city's lord, and after coming out, they wielded high authority—even control over life and death.
The Battle Mansion had a limited intake each year, just thirty-six people.
