614 Finals
The Elder who had promised to see Cain in the finals had every right to be confident. His Holy Guardian Sect was a multiple-time champion, not only in the Outer Sect but in the Inner Sect and Core Power divisions as well. In their earlier battles, they had seemed relatively evenly matched, but once they took the floor in the Semifinals, they started to go all out, lighting up the arena with holy power and crushing their opponents in under a minute.
They were also one of the few truly mixed Sects in the area, and most of their disciples were the children of the previous generation, with an emphasis on their most accomplished Elders and Core Disciples finding partners among each other to make an even more powerful generation in the future.
It seemed to be working out for them, and these Disciples were head and shoulders above the competition, despite most of them still being in their late teens and not close to the twenty-five-year age limit.
