After Rui's battle, where she defeated Haji Bitar, the tempo of the tournament rose to another level, with each match becoming fiercer than the last.
Taylor's battle with one of the rising students ended with Taylor winning the match with a single sword strike.
Watching his sword, the audience was full of anticipation and excitement as they compared the swordsmanship of Rui, James, and Taylor.
Between the three, they were trying to guess who had the best swordsmanship, but from what had been shown so far, Rui was leading by a bit.
Still, many believed Taylor and James had yet to show their battle prowess. They hoped when they confronted each other in later matches, they would reveal their true strength.
As for Caleb Li, he had nothing spectacular to his name apart from defeating Dongmei without raising a hand.
Despite Dongmei's loss to Caleb Li, most of the audience still had high hopes for her.
