As soon as the announcement echoed throughout the stadium, Kavin stepped forward without the slightest hesitation.
The enormous gate slowly rose before him, allowing brilliant sunlight to pour into the waiting tunnel.
He narrowed his eyes for only a brief moment before walking straight into the arena.
The instant his figure emerged from the darkness, an explosive wave of cheers swept across the entire stadium, shaking the very air itself.
Tens of thousands of spectators rose from their seats, countless eyes locking onto the man who had become the center of every discussion within Sun Clan City over the past several months.
Yet mixed among those deafening cheers were equally loud voices filled with anger, resentment, and undisguised hatred.
The welcoming applause quickly dissolved into a storm of insults as countless fingers pointed directly at him.
"Cheater!"
"He cheated against the Sword Demon!"
"That victory doesn't count!"
