This battle held no suspense; the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple was incredibly strong overall, but there was still a significant gap between Eric, ranked eighth, and the previous points leaderboard leader from Chloe Star's Temple.
People anticipated Eric's defeat but did not expect it to be so comprehensive. It could be described as a crushing battle, where Eric had no chance to showcase his skills from start to finish.
A lot of people turned their eyes to Augustus, who would also be a formidable opponent. Now, there were fewer than forty people left, with over thirty matches remaining, and anyone could be a potential opponent.
Augustus returned to the group from Chloe Star's Temple, his mood unperturbed. Though Capital Star O'Brian's Temple was formidable, not everyone had the qualification to make it to the end. In previous battles, few targeted the Transcendents of Capital Star O'Brian's Temple due to fear of retaliatory targeting.
