"Prepare yourselves! Fourth round, first duel—Kent King versus Ling Long! This is the first call."
The colossal Skyfire Arena loomed like a fortress suspended between sky and earth.
Its emerald-tiled floor stretched as wide as a modern stadium, yet the entire structure hovered in the clouds, ringed by countless floating platforms where tens of thousands of spectators gathered.
Above them, banners of different sects and families rippled in the wind, glowing faintly with inscription runes.
In the center of the arena, two figures slowly approached from opposite gates.
From the east side, Kent King floated in calmly on companion, Sparky. The beast's golden eyes sparkled as it soon took Kent to skies and looked over the Arena with indifference.
Kent's cape swayed with the breeze, his expression as calm as an untouched lake, his face still half-covered by the beast veil mask that had already become infamous among the crowd.
