The defeat of Hua Sha didn't just signify the temporary exit of a top-tier powerhouse.
It also drew everyone's attention to the two fighters who remained.
A new question spread like an invisible ripple through the crowd.
Could the God of Slaughter, Li Wen, shake Blood Slaughter Barton's almost mythical position at the top of the leaderboard?
...
「Five days passed in a flash.」
With the conclusion of the final match on the fifteenth day, everyone was once again teleported back to the preparation space.
Now, only five days remained in the third stage of the round-robin tournament.
For five days, Li Wen's name had stood tall alongside Blood Slaughter Barton's at the apex of the stone monument.
Fifteen hundred consecutive victories, each one clean and decisive. His points trailed Barton's so closely that the gap had never widened in the slightest.
This terrifyingly consistent track record put invisible pressure on even his most steadfast doubters.
