On the third day, the atmosphere at the Debate platform was practically explosive.
With sixty advancing to thirty, pairing off for head-to-head combat, this wasn't like the 'everyone plays their own game' of the first two rounds; this was a real, raw confrontation. The losers were out immediately, and only the winners were qualified to compete for the final top three.
The viewing stands were packed, with people filling even the aisles; there were more spectators than the previous two days combined.
Many gambling dens even opened betting pools. Willow Follow Wind, without any suspense, had the lowest odds, while Fang Hao, this 'dark horse,' had odds of one to ten. Clearly, everyone still favored the Disciples of the famous sects.
As soon as Fang Hao arrived, he felt countless gazes hit him like searchlights.
He remained calm and walked straight to the advancement area.
