Over a million people had gathered in the Star Colosseum, all waiting for the start of the tournament.

Building the Star Colosseum had been beyond expensive, but it had been worth it. The cheapest tickets cost one Grade Five Mana Crystal, and they had sold over a million.

Star City had made one Grade Seven Mana Crystal with just one event.

The audience was waiting with bated breath, and a couple of hours later, it finally started.

A man with long silver hair appeared on a flying platform above the colosseum. Behind him stood ten more people with luxurious robes.

"Welcome, everyone!" the man with silver hair shouted, his voice echoing throughout the entire colosseum.

This was the City Lord of Star City, Lord Starsky. His real name was different, but every City Lord of Star City would take up the title of Lord Starsky. This had been a tradition for over a hundred thousand years.

When Lord Starsky announced the beginning, the colosseum fell quiet. Everyone present here had some form of status or power. After all, the entrance fee was one Grade Five Mana Crystal. They wouldn't cheer like some mortals.

"Today, everyone has been gathered for the greatest warrior tournament in history!" Lord Starsky announced.

"We will all witness the birth of the strongest warrior in the world!"

"Let the games begin!"

After that, the ten people behind Lord Starsky jumped down from the flying platform and positioned themselves around the colosseum, with three of them hovering above the middle.

All ten of these people were Ancestral Mages, and it was their job to officiate the entire thing.

"Contestant 1 and contestant 12, step into the arena," the head judge ordered.

Contestant 1 was the favorite to win the tournament, while contestant 12 was judged to be in the middle.

Contestant 1 was the only Peak Diamond Body Stage warrior in the entire world. He had invented an entirely new method to absorb the powers of a beast, allowing him to strengthen his body a bit more and faster as well.

Contestant 1 entered the arena. He was a slim man with green hair. He was a bit on the shorter side and wore an elegant green uniform. On his hips were two long and thin swords.

Surprisingly, he wasn't the youngest anymore.

He looked to be in his sixties for mortal standards, but he still radiated a certain level of power.

Contestant 1 calmly walked to the middle of the arena and stopped. There was a peaceful and kind smile on his face, making him appear like a gentle old teacher.

Then, contestant 12 stepped forward.

He had black hair, and he also seemed to be on the older side. He wore imposing black armor, and he carried a long black spear on his back.

In comparison to contestant 1's kind expression, contestant 12 seemed far more serious. He had a constant frown on his face, making him seem like a fearsome commander.
