The overnight uproar was soon forgotten in the light of day.

The following morning, Sacred Wrym Summit hummed with activity as people thronged in.

It was the much-awaited day—the official kickoff of the Combat Tournament.

Participants and onlookers flooded the area. They were eager to witness something truly remarkable.

This unprecedented event had become the talk of the martial world. It attracted representatives from all major sects and guilds.

Even those not participating in the tournament found themselves drawn to the excitement.

Because everyone knew this was a rare chance to witness extraordinary talent, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed.

The Combat Tournament at Sacred Wrym Summit lasted five days. During the initial three days, Groups C and B participants would compete.

Following several rounds of elimination, the standout fighters earned their ticket to join Group A. They would then confront the group's brightest talents.

By the fourth day, the tournament had whittled down to the elite eight out of the initial 32 contenders.

The fifth and final day featured the eagerly anticipated semifinals and the ultimate showdown.

However, the opportunities for advancement from Groups C and B were limited. It was determined by the number of participants in Group A.

In essence, the combined total of contestants from Groups B and C, alongside those from Group A, had to be 32.
