The quality of the second round was evidently higher than that of the first.
Actually, not many people used choreographed moves or feigned fighting in the preliminary rounds. Since the preliminaries were knockout matches, acting cool at the expense of not being able to participate in the official competition would be idiotic. Only those with overwhelmingly superior strength could afford to ensure victory while also showing off.
Those who couldn't figure out when to show off had already been eliminated yesterday. In the second round, many Star Martial Warriors started by going all out, unleashing their Star Martial Skills like they cost nothing.
Some Star Martial Warriors couldn't withstand the baptism of Star Martial Skills in the first round and were eliminated. Others enjoyed themselves when casting their Star Martial Skills, but after their Star Power was depleted, they were taken out by their opponents with a single move.
