Chapter 230: Blade Duel
The entire first group from the New Arcadia Empire looked pumped. One of the guys quickly moved to help Nayara walk.
She was struggling. Her ring power was totally drained—just one shot had taken everything out of her. But the force behind that shot was on another level.
Luckily, each group only fought once a day. With the help of the recovery hall, she’d be back to full strength by tomorrow.
They calmly left the arena. Seeing the looks on the other participants’ faces, Nayara was satisfied. With the opening Darian gave them, using the bow at that moment wasn’t a waste at all. It was a dominating win, and it definitely made every future opponent think twice about facing them.
Fear and extreme caution were the last things you wanted in a tournament like this. In life-or-death fights, sure, being careful made sense. But here? The winner would be the one who was more aggressive and unpredictable.
The remaining matches went on normally, but the audience didn’t seem that hyped anymore.
In the final match of the day, though, another huge surprise dropped: the first group from the Polar Circle Empire—the second most powerful on Earth—beat the second group from the Solar Federation!
Everyone was completely shocked.
Those two empires had ended up having their two groups fight each other. In the first round, the result was what you’d expect—a crushing victory for the Solar Federation. But in the second one... the Polar Circle Empire actually won—and not just barely. It was a shockingly fast win.
The leader of the Polar Circle group was a stunning woman who stood out immediately. Still, the whole group moved in perfect sync with her. They didn’t even use their supreme artifact—because their opponents didn’t have one. Using it would’ve felt like a total disgrace to them.
By the end of day one, the entire Earth was buzzing. So many rising stars had shown up in this tournament, and now everyone was dying to see how the next rounds would unfold.
The Aurora Coalition Empire? Both of their groups were out—they were done. Meanwhile, to everyone’s surprise, both groups from the New Arcadia Empire had made it through. Every other empire only had one group left in the game.
