7:30 PM.
Saye International Competition Hall.
Under the night sky, neon lights flashed continuously across the stadium, tracing its dazzling silhouette.
The entire venue boiled with roaring voices. The audience members waved the glow sticks in their hands, forming flowing seas of stars.
Even though the match was still half an hour away from officially starting and the host had yet to take the stage, the spectator seats were already packed with people and Pet Beasts. Everyone's face was brimming with anticipation, and the clamor echoed endlessly like a surging tide.
"There are so many people and Pet Beasts!"
"When does the match start? I can't wait any longer."
"What's the rush? It's only half an hour away."
"Who do you think will win between Lafeid and Qiao Sang?"
"It feels like either of them could win."
