The Rice Has Already Been Cooked
Two days had passed since the first Elimination Round of the tournament. The two thousand participants that survived the Battle Royale were given a day to rest in order to fully recover from their injuries.
Of course, they received proper treatment from the Clerics of the Kraetor Empire, so all of them had recovered from their injuries. The one day of rest was given in order for them to raise their performance to the peak condition, before fighting their next match.
The two thousand contestants were once again divided into the two hundred arenas that were prepared for the battle.
This time, each arena had ten people in it. There would be five one on one matches. The winners would proceed to the third phase of the tournament.
The Tournament of Champions was a grand event. It meant that almost all the merchants in the Central Continent were taking advantage of the festivities and doing business in the capital city of the Kraetor Empire.
